Check. Testing.
Washington examiner. They are here. They are here.
I don't want to
Well,
let Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's the it's the you know the plug that goes through
and then
Thank you, sir.
He told him not to do that.
The other thing that you can do, Daniel. Uhhuh. Just hit task.
Hang on. Soul's calling back. Well, I need the board to do the test. Plug into anything. It's just plastic.
Okay. All right. No problem.
Show me your Here. Where's your camera? right there on the ledge.
So, watch this. It's firing right now. All you got to do is hit the test.
Oh, okay. We can do that. Yeah. Let's see fire with the camera. It
doesn't fire with the I need to figure out how to focus this thing, though.
Thank you. Oh, no. Because you can't. So, all you do is press the test button.
Um, okay. Right. I mean, you can look watch the back of the camera. Can you see the back
of the camera now? Watch it now. Yeah. Yeah, it's fine. It's It's working. I'm just trying to figure out
because I got to do all the settings backwards. Oh, sure.
Oh, that's why it's got the star setting on it.
Just going to use the test button on. So if you use the test button, it fires that.
So it's easy. I think that's what I had. I know there
was something last time that was wrong. Those are it wasn't working. So I think I had to fire. That's what it was. When we were
doing Saudi, I was running and I was pressing the button to fire it because there was no port. We didn't have the port working.
This would be a lot easier. Can you stand over there for a second at the podium?
Yeah, apparently.
It'll take it all the way off tight.
without
a good one. Got it. How do we uh move it? So that post that you had it all the way
up the way
and that will just stay. No, then you got to bring it back down. Right. I mean, but then it will stay.
Okay. Go to the podium.
It's actually a nice shot. Okay, we good.
Yeah. Can you touch me? They shouldn't. That little guy is wide. You may need to
come back. Is there somewhere where we can see that? I don't understand. Cuz this right now is the perfect shot.
This is you. That micro camera.
Whose camera is this?
Push it up just a little bit. Okay, that's okay.
Oh, does see me. Yeah, it's also better on the magic. Okay. Magic stable.
There you go.
It's still 5 days out. So,
That's kind of neat. I read everyone every single art.
Oh yeah,
but that's it. European
countries.
about my food.
Oh yeah.
Abe, can you stand back over there? Thanks for your help.
Nobody woke up in the morning know how to do this.
I mean, do you want do you want the back of his head in focus or you want the No, like when I zoom in,
it's hard doing this thing backwards. Yeah. It's very
Oh, I can see the speed meter here. How many feet is that? Like five. Six
at 5.7 focus at 2.8. Now that's brave. Yeah, I want to be brave.
Doesn't really matter.
It's pretty bright in here cuz he's going to lean forward when he talks, right? Well, he moves around.
set anyway. Everything will be No, no, no. It's a 2.8 at 6.3 ft.
Okay. You want the back of his head in focus or do you want the room in focus?
That's also a good point. I'm just going to do the back of his head, but I think the room's the back of his head.
56.
I just I hate this lens because it's not as nice as all the primes that I used.
Should I do 16 ft, 20 ft, 40 ft or infinity? Uh 28.
Yeah. It's also wide, so more things are in focus. Yeah. I don't know what's 12t 16
ft. here tonight and he's going to get in front of these world leaders who are
very anxious and very concerned about his rhetoric on it's at 16. It still looks like you're
relatively in focus with the red lines over you.
I am if somebody puts it on their paper. You want the ladder right there in the
middle with Is that what you've been asking for this whole time?
Maybe we get him to stand on the ladder.
Thank you. I got to get a new lens now. Thank you.
Not just by other leaders. One came in overnight from US Secretary General Mark who wrote, "I am committed to finding a
way forward on Greenland. Can't wait to see you." Another one from French President Adam. I do not understand what
you are doing on Greenland. By the way, invited Trump to dinner in Paris after
Davos. At the same time, he's also calling on European leaders to use what they call uh the trade bazooka on the
US, which blocks the US. Basically, they just say market. Uh Scott Essen, the Treasury Secretary
earlier today is trying to uh put the uh put these European leaders at ease,
warning them to sit back, take a deep breath, do not retaliate, wait for the president to show up there in hours of
course and have those one-on-one conversations. Um the president is also pushing back last night on this idea
that she's doing all of this because of the Nobel Peace Prize snub. it comes down. Prime Minister said that Trump is
told very preoccupied with the prize and not getting it. Trump last night said he does not care about the prize. He cares
about saving lives. We're also expecting a lot of questions about his uh board of peace on Gaza, who's in, who's out. Some
wondering if it's going to undermine uh the United Nations and the UN charter. Again, affordability was supposed to be
the main topic in his remarks in Davos tomorrow. making hope
that has changed. We'll see if we can get any more details on those policy announcements.

That's what
This is the perfect time.
Hey fell off.
Yeah.
One, two, three, four.
Just go that way.
two minute warning.
Yeah, they just sent it to the
You're supposed to
Check
Wow, that's a big crowd. It's a lot of people. I think it's like a record. So,
these are accomplishments. We have a lot of accomplishments. And as you know, this is the anniversary, first
anniversary, January 20th, and it's been an amazing
period of time. We have a book that I'm not going to read to you, but these are the accomplishments
of what we've produced. Uh, all page after page after page, individual
things. I could stand here and read it for a week and we wouldn't be finished.
But we've done more than any other administration has done by far in terms of military, in terms of ending wars, in
terms of completing wars. Nobody's really seen very much like it.
I think it's appropriate that because Minnesota is so much in the in the fray.
And I say to my people all the time, and they're so busy doing other things, they don't say it like they should. Uh
they're apprehending murderers and drug dealers and a lot of bad people. And
these are just some of the more recent ones that we have. And I can show you
some of the people vicious, many of them murderers.
These are all out of Minnesota. Just Minnesota. I say, why don't you talk about that more?
Because people don't know. Do you want to live with these people?
International murder. These are people that are living were if
they're apprehended and either put in jails in their country from where they came and the countries respect us and so
they actually put them there. In the old days they didn't respect our country. Biden wouldn't do this because he let
them all in. You know, if you didn't have open border policies of Biden, none of this, all of the things that we all
the time that we spend talking about Minnesota and everything else, most of them are coming from out of the country.
And it's been caused by a previous administration. Look at this.
One after one. Boy, these are rough characters.
These are all criminal illegal aliens that in many cases they're murderers. They're drug lords, drug dealers.
They're the mentally insane. There some of them who are brutal killers. They're mentally insane. They're killers, but
they're insane. These are just in Minnesota and
California. It's worse. In other states, it's worse. Now,
Minnesota, the crime is incredible. The financial crimes are incredible. And the problem is because of the agitators and
insurrectionists, whatever you want, troublemakers, but they're they're paid agitators and insurrectionists.
Uh nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in
Minnesota. Given to a large degree, but by Somalians,
they've taken it. Somalians. Can you imagine? and they don't do it. A lot of very low
IQ people, they don't do it. Other people work it out and they get a money
and they go out and buy Mercedes Benzes and they come from here, they have no money. They never had money. They never
had a life. They never had a government. They never had a country because there's basically no country. Somalia is not
even a country. They don't have anything that resembles a country. And if it is a
country, it's considered just about the worst in the world. They come here and they become rich and they don't have a
job. I was told that Elon Omar is worth $30 million. She never had a job.
She's a crooked congressman. So here is another one.
And I have Oh, by the way, we just took out a These are all what I doing.
And it's a dangerous job. These are rough These are rough people.
weapons. This one here is very bad.
I'm going through this because I think we have plenty of time. So, I'm going to uh place beautiful place in Switzerland
where we'll be I'm sure I'm very happily awaited for
in Switzerland. They don't know about this. They don't have this problem. They have other problems, but they don't have
this problem. Look, killed somebody.
Look, look. And these are rough people. These are not, this was all allowed into our country through open borders. These
dumbest policies, you know, men and women's sports is dumb. But to me, having an open border for the world to
come in. Uh, drug dealers and prisoners. Venezuela, as an example, opened their
prisons into the United States. That's why one of the reasons I felt so strongly against Venezuela. Now I'm
loving Venezuela. They've been working with us so well. It's been so nice and uh an unbelievably
nice woman. Also did a very incredible thing as you know a few days ago. Uh
she's we're talking to her and maybe we can get her involved in some way. I'd love to be able to do that. Maria is
maybe we can do that. But we're dealing with the people invented the president and all of the people in Venezuela and
we've been doing great. The oil companies are getting ready to make massive investments there. They have
more oil than even Saudi Arabia. There you go.
These are real. These are rough one. This is all Minnesota. Every one of them. This is
one state out of many. And these people
are, let's see, yeah, these are all so far people that came from outside of the
country. They were allowed in by sleepy Joe Biden, crooked Joe Biden, whichever you like. You can call him whatever you
like. They're both right. He's sleepy and he's crooked. It was the worst president we've ever had.
And we've had some bad ones, too. I can tell you, all you have to do is look at trade.
I you're not getting bored with this, right? I hope you don't. But these are people that you have to see.
Strongarmmed rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, and many other crimes.
gang member known as one of the toughest people around.
These are tough people.
So this is what the people are trying to protect because all ICE wants to do is
get them out of our country. Bring them to prisons and jails and mental institutions from where they came.
That's all they want to do. They're patriots and they have to be abused by guys like Don Lemon who's a, you know,
loser, lightweight. I saw him the way he walked in that church. It was terrible. I have such respect for that pastor. He
was so calm. He was so nice. He was just accosted. What they did in that church
was horrible yesterday. Look at this. 24 convictions.
24 times convicted. They're not charges. These are convictions. So he comes from outside
the country. Do you think he's going to be good here? He convicted 24 times. He's going to be good here, right? It
doesn't work that way. There's a man murder. One of many. One
of many. All they want to do is get him out.
They want to take him out of our country. And we're met with paid agitators and insurrectionists,
troublemakers. They're paid. You know, when uh the woman was shot, and I felt terribly about that,
and I understand both sides of it, but when she was shot,
there was another woman that was screaming, "Shame, shame, shame, shame." Right? You saw it. So loud, like
a professional opera singer. She was so loud and so professional.
She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, "Oh, my heart's injured." She was a professional.
She shame, shame. She's screaming, "Shame, shame." I said, "That's not a normal person." That's That's a
professional. These are professional agitators and professional people that want to see our country do badly. But
that's not happening because we have the hottest country anywhere in the world despite this stuff. Look at this.
All topofthe- line criminals. They're not going to be good. They're not going to be well behaved here.
I could do I could do thousands. We had over 3,000 in the last fairly short well
just in Minnesota. What's the number, Carol? 10,000. 10,000. 10,000 criminals arrested in Minnesota
alone. 10,000 criminal. And these are serious criminals. Now, how can a place with
10,000 criminals, how can you have a state and yet they're fighting us? I
like that guy keeps nodding to me. Do you agree with me? I guess I like him. I don't know who he is, but I like him. He
keeps nodding. He says, "You're right." He's obviously a little on the right side, maybe.
Look, these are rough ones.
So, this we just took this off a stack. We have many stacks like this. Like,
I could go 30 times what I'm showing you now.
relations with Hezbollah. That's nice. Why do we allow them in our country?
I'm just looking at these charges. It's It's just pretty incredible. Many murderers. Many many murders. People
that murdered
So what what ICE does and Border Patrol is incredible, too. I mean, they're Paul
Perez and that group is incredible. Mostly Hispanic, by the way. They're
like 60% Hispanic. You know, they talk about Hispanic. They're mostly Hispanic, right? And they're unbelievable people.
And then they say, "Oh, we discriminate against." I love Hispanic. They are unbelievable. Entrepreneurial. They have
everything. I did great. I did the highest. Nobody ever got numbers like I got from the standpoint of being a
Republican. But even the uh if you look at Texas, I won the entire border along
Texas between Texas and Mexico. Never happened before. Nobody's ever done that before. I did it as a Republican. I did
it. I love the Hispanic. and they accuse us of all sorts of things. 60% of the
people we're talking about, they're the best people we have and they're Hispanic. The Border Patrol is largely
Hispanic. ISIS is largely Hispanic. They're unbelievable people.
I don't know how they can take the abuse. They're they're taking rough They're taking rough people like this,
like all of them. We have So, we have 10,000 at least. I could have done
10,000 of them. You're lucky I only did like a hundred. And this is just this isn't even the
worst of the group. They have murderers. They have some people we can't use their picture for legal reasons, but they're
up for murder in their own country. And we we jeopardize their case. When we
send them back, we send them back and we coordinate with other countries. A tremendous amount of work. All allowed
in here by an open border policy of the worst president in the history of our country. a man that didn't win the
election, by the way, got was a rigged election. Everybody knows that now. And by the way, numbers are coming out that
show it even more plainly. We caught him. We caught him. So, I just want you
to know that it's uh it's a terrible It's a terrible thing. Here's uh the
book on accomplishments. And this is something I'm glad my finger
wasn't in that sucker. That that could have done some damage, but you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain. I
would have gone back. Boy, did you hear that? That That was nasty.
But I would not have shown the pain. I would have acted like nothing happened as my finger fell off. That was a nasty.
I think somebody did that. I think some It was him. That's It was my man. How
were you? You didn't do it. I know you did. I know you didn't. So, um but here
is the uh here's the book. These are all things we
have. I'm going to read a few of the samples, but look at this. These are all Each line is something that we did.
Nobody did that before. And it's it's big stuff, too. Look, we
have the hottest country in the world.
So, I will read you a few. We ended Biden stagflation. We were in
stagflation. That's a disaster. That's far worse than inflation. As you know, he had the biggest inflation in the
history of our country. They say 48 years. Pick your choice. But they had the biggest inflation in the history of
our country. We we have it right down to a normal number. Now we're going to get it even a little bit lower.
Created super high. What we've done with with growth is incredible. We created super high
economic growth. And America is booming. It's booming. There are thousands of
businesses right now that are being built. Many of the biggest factories in the world are being built right in our
country. They're not going to other countries. They're leaving other countries. Fourth quarter GDP is on
track to pass perhaps much more than 5% growth. And that's despite the fact that
we had a Democrat shutdown. They shut down our country and we had 5%. Nobody's in this room has ever heard about 5%. I
think it could be 20% if we do it right. And if we don't, every time we have good
numbers, they raise interest rates. You shouldn't. In the old days, if you had good numbers, they'd lower interest
rates or they wouldn't do anything. Here, they try and kill it. They always try and kill success.
Uh over the last 20, 25 years, that's the way in the old days, if you had good
numbers, the market would go through the roof. Today, if you have good numbers, the market goes down. But by the way,
we've had the best stock market in history, the best 401ks in history, and
we inherited a mess. The numbers that we inherited are way were way up, and now
we brought them almost all of them way down. We brought them way down. I mean, I'm not getting
uh maybe I have the bad public relations people, but we're not getting it across.
We inherited high numbers and we brought them way down. And uh look at gasoline.
They have places in the country now $1.99 a gallon 199 230 250 I guess the
average now they're saying is 231 I mean he was at $450 and5 for periods of time
and he went back to the Trump formula but he didn't do it properly and he
really went back to parts of it because they were it you would have had $8 gasoline if they didn't but he didn't do
it properly had people that didn't know what they were doing coron inflation for the last 3 months is 1.6%.
1.6. Their core inflation was so high that nobody could even calculated it. Under
Biden, real incomes declined $3,000. Think of that. $3,000. That's a
year. In 12 months, Trump real incomes went up by $2,000 and 3,000 and even in
some cases $5,000. It's a tremendous difference. Stock market has set 52 all-time record highs
during the course of the actually the 11 months because this was done on 11
months. Now we're now we are actually officially 12 months as of today. 52
all-time record highs. That means 401ks did great. I have people see me all the
time, policemen that guard us really well and got to know them a little bit and they said, "Sir, you're making me
look so good. My 401k is through the roof. My wife thinks I'm the greatest genius and I'm a financial genius like
Warren Buffett. She he told me that he said I I think they have better returns than Warren
Buffett right now. But uh he said all my life my wife has been criticizing me for
not being smart financially. Now all of a sudden she she's she loves me more.
But uh we added $9 trillion in value to retirement accounts, saving
uh saving many people. I mean, they were going out of business. Think of it. We added $9 trillion of value to retirement
accounts, savings accounts, and 401ks. That's during the course of 12 months,
and I think it's probably 11 months because I don't think they have it for the 12. They have it for the 11. Added
nine trillion dollars of value.
lifted more than 1.2 million Americans off food stamps in one year, they would have had another 1.2 million, we would
have had welfare would have gone up and instead of investing $18 trillion in our
country. Now it's probably more than that, but 18 trillion and having thousands of plants being built all over
the country, you would have had thousands of plants closing all over the country. And you would have had
disinvestment and you would have had welfare going way up. You know, if you
look at SNAP, take a look at SNAP. What happened with that? What was it at 7 billion and it came out to over 51
billion dollars? Nobody has ever seen anything like it. the past administration
uh they had no clue or they were really bad but they basically had no clue but they did have
a concept I mean they're still trying to sell the idea of men playing in women's sports you saw that in the Supreme Court
I mean some of those justices were fighting for them too they were fighting for them but you saw that just the other
day in the Supreme Court men playing in women's sport doesn't work secured a record-breaking $18 trillion dollar in
commitments for new investments. Apple, Nvidia, SoftBank, Oracle, TSMC, Johnson
and Johnson, Eli Lillian Company, Micron, Astroenica, General Motors,
Hyundai, Ford, Honda, GE Aerospace, many, many others. I left a Ford plant a
week ago in Michigan that they were going to close two years ago, and now they just
announced that they're going 24 hours around the clock making cars. terrorists did it. I don't know what the
Supreme Court's going to do. I think it to me it reads so plainly. Couldn't be plainer.
You're allowed to do a license. Tariff is probably less severe than what a license
could be. But think of it, you're allowed to do a license and then they have a clause at the end something to the effect or what is necessary
something to that effect. And what is necessary with tariffs? I don't know where there's a case even there. But
we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars and uh if we lose that case, it's possible we're going to have to
do the best we can in paying it back. I don't know how that's going to be done very easily without hurting a lot of
people, but we're waiting for that case anxiously. And we have tremendous national security because of tariffs and
tremendous income. You know, we have and by the way, no inflation. So, everyone said, "Oh, tariffs will cause
inflation." We have no inflation. We have very little inflation. Biden had inflation and he didn't do tariffs. We
had a huge problem. We had uh we have a 62% reduction in our trade deficit. So,
if you had a 1% reduction, a normal president would have a 1% 2% reduction.
Everybody would be high-fiving. At a 62% reduction, next year we won't
have a trade deficit. We secured most favored nations agreements to slash drug prices by as
much. And to me, I think this might be the biggest thing of all. We get zero
talk about it. Uh the New York Times had a story way in the back of the paper, little story about it. I think it's the
biggest thing there is when you talk about healthcare. drug prices will go down more than
ever before for any country because we was we were priced at such a level that
we were subsidizing the entire world big place in the world we were paying 10 12
13 times more than other countries 13 times more not 13% 13 times more a pill
that was selling in London for $10 would sell in New York for $130 it's 13 times
times more than that even. But we secured most
favored nations agreements to slash drug prices by as much as 300, 400, 500, and
even 600%. Including with Fizer, Astroenica, Eli,
Lily, Nova, Nordesk, Gilead Sciences, EMD, Cerranio,
and many others. If you look at some of the prices
that are coming down where a price would come down $1,300
coming down to $87. Think of it. So something that was costing $1,300
is now costing $87. And the fake news doesn't want to write about it. That's why I do this. I don't
like to do this to be honest with you, but uh I do it because got to get the
word out. We signed one big beautiful bill. I call it the great big beautiful bill. Delivering the largest tax cuts in
history. No tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime.
We made interest on car loans tax deductible for US-built automobiles
only. So if you build the if you buy an automobile built in the United States, we're not doing it for Germany and
Canada and different places. We're doing it only if it's built here. We want them to be built here. A lot of the Canadian
auto plants are closing and they're moving into the United States. Same thing with Mexico. Same thing with
Germany. And same thing with Japan and other countries. They're moving into the United States because of tariffs.
Because they don't want to pay the tariffs. It's too much. They can't pay the tariffs. So they're coming here.
Nothing different than what other smart countries did, but it works better for us under my leadership.
It's not done properly, but uh it's done properly. We have again more more plants
being built than at any time in the history of our country. Passed the largest spending cuts in American
history. And that was true in my first, you know, we had a tremendous first term also. We rebuilt our military. We had
one of the best We had the best economy in the history of our country, but we're
blowing it away now. This when this stuff starts opening up, you're not going to see anything like it probably ever again. We slash the federal budget
deficit by 27% in a single year. Think of that. 27, you
know, you could do it 2%, 1%, a half a percent, 27%.
And that's with all of the things we have to do, all of the people we have to put on the payroll to get rid of people
that are murderers. Again, when you see people in Minnesota that are murderers,
these people are fighting to keep them there. And I I say to Christie and to Tom Holman, great people. They're
working so hard. Uh look at the border. The border is now secure. First time you Biden said you couldn't do it. You need
legislation. I had no legislation. and they said close the border. Within one month, we had almost nobody coming in.
Now, for the last 8 months, nobody came into our country illegally.
And I find that hard to believe because you'd think somebody because it used to be millions of people just brought into our country. And the people that do that
are Democrat uh sort of aligned. So, I mean, they're not doing me any favors. We had nobody
come in. We have a very strong border. We have very few people coming up. They're not going to make the trek because they know they probably won't be
coming in. So, it's not as hard as you think. But I didn't have to go back. Remember, they said, uh, we need
legislation to close the border. They had millions of people coming in a month. We have nobody coming in and
we're getting the murderers out. Murderers, people from prisons and jails. Many
countries opened up their prisons and dropped them into the United States. Those are the people we're getting out.
And we have a lot of heart. I said, "You got to lighten up on this." We have a lot of heart for people. They came in
illegally, but they're good people. And they're working now on farms and they're working in lunchonets and hotels and
all. And we're not looking. We're looking to get the criminals out right
now. The criminals. And uh I think it's very important. I mean, I every once in a while you see a
story, we take somebody, he should be out because they came in illegally. So in theory, they should be. But we're focused on the murderers,
the drug dealers, the mentally insane. We have a lot of mentally insane killers. I mean, you can't even talk to
them. Be nice if you could have a little reason, but you can't even reason. These are seriously pe ill people. You have a
couple of countries where they were loaded up. Their mental institutions and insane asylums were loaded to the gills.
They couldn't get They're empty now, but they're filling up because we're bringing them all back. We know where
they came from. and every country accepts them. You know, under Biden, they wouldn't take they had so little
respect that they'd bring them there and they wouldn't take them. They said, "Get the hell out of here." They would would
be bringing a plane in to land in a country and they'd put five planes on the runway so you couldn't land a plane.
So, they'd come back with the people that they were bringing back. They don't do that with me. They do that with me.
They have problems. They don't do They accept them back. They're not happy about it, but they accept them back. cut
a record number of regulations. I promised to eliminate 10 old regulations
for every one new regulation. Instead, we cut 129 old regulations for each one
added. Think of that. I want to do 10. Last my first four years, I did when we
put on a new regulation, you had to cut eight. This year, I said you have to cut 10.
Instead, we cut 129. So, every time so far, can't remain like that. I don't
imagine. I hope I can because we have so much wasted regulation, stupid regulations. Uh regulations where they
go by California, which is a disaster state with a with a governor that truly
is doing a bad job. It's killing that state. If he ever ran the country, this country
would be Venezuela very quickly using tariffs slash the US
trade deficit by an incredible 77%. The trade deficit is down. And that
doesn't include the last month where we had our best month. We slashed a trade deficit by an
incredible 77% in one year with no inflation. Something that everyone said
could not be done. So we had essentially no inflation. In fact, the last month we had very almost no inflation.
But we slashed the trade deficit by 77%. If you slash it by 1%, that was good.
Again, we did that with tariffs and and intelligence. We did that with November
5th. Great election. We secured historic trade deals to reduce barriers on US
exports with countries covering 40% of all US trade. Think of that. American
exports are up by more than 150 billion dollars this year. People said, "Oh,
we're not in exporting. All we do is buy." If you keep buying, you're not going to have a country for very long.
So we increased exports by more than 150 billion dollars. Investment in American
factories is up 41%. That's a record. Nobody goes 41% up. You
go 2% up, 1% up. You go down by 3%. If Kamala got elected, the 41% up would
be 41% down. We removed over 270,000 bureaucrats from
the federal par. That's another thing. So, we have, you know, we announced our
uh our unemployment numbers, call it unemployment or employment, and they
were very good, but we could make them great, but we've slashed
tremendous numbers of people off the federal payroll because ultimately, if
you're on the federal payroll, I mean, we have we have jobs where they had 10 people for every job. So, we cut. Now,
if you want to see some good numbers, I'll put I'll hire a million people. We cut millions of people off the federal
payroll. I don't like doing that. But the good news, I don't feel badly because they're getting private sector
jobs and they're getting sometimes twice as much money, three times as much money. They're getting factory jobs.
They're getting much better jobs and much higher pay. But all I have to do is say like, you
know what the Democrats do all the time. They hire a million people and then they hire another million, another million,
they load it up and it says, "Oh, they only have a 3% unemployment rate. It's a fake rate." So with us, we're proud of
the fact that we cut so many because again, I don't want to cut people, but when you cut them and they go out and
get a better job, I like to cut them. And sometimes they have to be forced to do that because, you know, it's like
they want to stay where they are, they don't know. And then all of a sudden they end up we have many cases, Caroline, where where people were
devastated. They hated Trump. I got caught from my very boring federal job
where they had again sometimes 10 people to do one job and they were very upset.
And now they ended up with a job where they get paid three times more money. They're ending up buying houses. It's
like crazy. So they went from not liking me to liking me a lot because they're
it's hard to get. We need people. We need people. It's one of the reasons I mean I want to when you have good people
in the farm or good people in hotels and everything else, we want to work with them as much as we can. Under Biden, one
out of four jobs added was a government job. Think of that. So 25% of the jobs
added. That's when you when you know that that's 25% of jobs aren't real jobs. But again, I could do that. I
could add two million jobs right now would have an unemploy I could say just hire some more people. I do the
opposite. I say get rid of everybody that's unnecessary because that's the way you make America great again. When
you have, you know, all these jobs where people are sitting around doing nothing and they get a lot of money by the
government, it's no good. But that's what the Democrats do. They show, oh, we were at 4% unemployment. That's a good
number. But they just add jobs or they wouldn't cut. They would never cut jobs.
Under Trump, 100% of all new jobs created have been in the private sector.
Think of that. Not 1% has gone to federal. So under Biden, one out of four was a government job. Under Trump, 100%
of the new jobs created. 100% came from the private sector. That's how
you make your country wealthy and strong and good. We inherited the worst border
in history and turned it into the strongest border in history. Illegal crossings have plummeted to the lowest
level ever recorded. Down 99.999%.
That means down 100%. 99.999. I want to find out who that one person
is. For eight months in a row, zero. And these are government numbers. These are
not my numbers. For eight months in a row, zero illegal aliens were admitted to our country. Zero.
Nobody came in unless they came in illegally. We have a big process for having people come in legally. By the
way, a lot of people are coming in legally. They have to prove they love our country. They have to prove that
they're not going to need welfare. A lot of things they have to prove. For the
first time in 50 years, we are now seeing reverse migration
where we're getting because we're getting all of these illegal people out. People that came in illegally. Many
cases they're criminals in many, many cases. You remember when they used to say that the people that come into our
country as immigrants are very nice people. They're wonderful people. They don't commit crime. No, they make our
criminals look like babies. They make our Hell's Angels
look like the sweetest people on earth. The Hell's Angels are now considered a nice, highquality person. I like the
Hell's Angels. They voted for me. They protected me, actually, believe it or not. But they make our criminals
look like babies. These are some of the most vicious people anywhere in the world. They came from the Congo, the
prisons. I know the Congo because I ended the war with the Congo and Rwanda.
Tough group. Very tough group. They came from prisons in the Congo.
Some of the toughest, meanest people you'll ever meet. Thank you very much.
They allowed them to come into America. These are tough people. Before my election, 100% of net job creation was
going to foreign migrants. Since my inauguration, 100% of the net jobs
created have gone to American-born citizens. That's a big thing. In other words, we're now taking care of our
people. 100% of net jobs created have gone to the American born people. Before
that, we didn't care. Uh designated Trend Dear, MS-13,
and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. And we've hit them hard. You've seen what we've done
on the water. We're starting to do that on land. The land is much easier actually. Water is incredible. We did
that on the water. So the when you do it on the land, they don't go to the water. Nobody's going
into the boat business right now. I can tell you 97%
down drugs coming in by water. They 97%. Nobody ever heard of that before. 90.
They heard 2%, 1%. It went up 2%. 97. And we're looking for
the 3%. Who the hell are the 3%. They're crazy. But, uh, we we've we've
taken out almost 100% of the drugs coming in by
water. Now, we're going to be very shortly starting drugs coming in by land. We know exactly where they're
coming from. removed tens of thousands of illegal alien gang members, drug dealers,
murderers, child predators, human traffickers, fraudsters, savage criminals, and others. We removed
them from our country. They're out. They're gone. In some cases, they're so
dangerous that we put them in jail because we don't want to give them to their country. Their country doesn't do anything and they end up coming back. We
We have some that we're just they're so bad that we don't want to really release them. We want to put them in a jail
where we know they're properly uh enscconced.
Think of that. Remove tens of thousands of illegal alien gang members, drug
dealers, murderers, child predators, human traffickers, fraudsters, and savage criminals. Why would you want
them removed? The reason is because these are uh insurrectionists that are doing this
work and you know they're going to make mistakes sometimes. ISIS is going to be too rough with somebody or you know
they're dealing with rough people. Uh they're going to make a mistake sometimes. It can happen. We feel
terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the
young woman who was uh had the tragedy, it's a tragedy. It's a horrible thing.
Everybody would say ICE would say the same thing. But uh when I learned her
her parents and her father in particular is like was a I hope he still is, but I don't know
was a tremendous Trump fan. He was all for Trump. Loved Trump.
And uh you know it's terrible. I was told that by a lot of people. They said,
"Oh, he he loves you. He he was a I hope I hope he still feels that way. I don't
know. It's a hard hard situation, but her father was a tremendous and and parents were tremendous Trump fans.
It's so sad. It just happens. It's terrible. Halted all refugee admissions
to the United States, including from Somalia, which is a terrible, terrible place and other dangerous places. And we
also stopped the pirates because they get the same treatment as the drug boats. So when Somalia, there Somalians,
you know what they're good at? That's about the only thing they're good at is they're good at uh pirating ships at
sea, big ships. So you have a huge oil tanker with millions of gallons or
millions of barrels of oil. And if it gets hit by a big weapon, the whole
thing blows up. and they don't want to fight because if they do they're told by their insurance
companies do not hand over the ship and they're not allowed to have any guns
on the ship that they're literally you have these massive ships being taken over by a Somalian small boat with a big
weapon because if they hit the side of the ship the ship can blow up to I mean you talk about a blow up bad we've seen
we've seen some bad things happen and the insurance companies some of these ships cost more than a billion dollars
to build. And the insurance companies say, "Look, we'd rather give them money than take a chance on a billion dollar
insurance policy, but they don't have to worry about it because we hit them the same way we hit
the people with the drugs in their boat. They don't know what the hell happened,
but all of a sudden, there are no pirates at sea. Do you notice? We haven't had a boat taken in a
little while. Came out of Somalia, really corrupt place. It's not a country. They don't have government.
They don't have anything. I I I always hate to see this. Elon Omar, she comes
from Somalia. U backward country. Probably the worst country. They say it's the worst country
in the world. If it's a country, I don't even think it's a country. There's no organization or anything. They don't
have police. They don't have military. They don't have anything. They just have people running around killing each other
and and trying to pirate ships. But uh she'll come here comes and then
she wants to tell us how to run our country. The Constitution says that I am entitled to this. I can't stand her.
Terminated all taxpayer funded benefits for illegal aliens and kicked 275,000
illegals off of Social Security. They were illegally getting Social Security. 275,000
people. I'm telling you, it's not that this is pleasurable, but if I weren't elected
president, this country was just was going to be destroyed quickly, very quickly. I think within a year, if you
had Kamla or a Joe type, I mean, Joe was a disaster. But if you had Kamla, he was
the replacement. I was up by like 25 points on Joe and they said, "Hey, let's get somebody else." This never happened.
Or I was a I had so many firsts. You're leading somebody by a lot and they say,
"Oh, let's take him out. Let's put somebody That's like I said to Dana White the other night." I said, "You know, Dana, it's like you have a
fighter, two fighters, one guy is winning by a lot and they say, "Oh, let's take this guy out. Let's put a new
fighter in the ring with him." That's what happened to me. I was doing great with Biden. The whole campaign was
against Biden. All the money was spent against Biden. And all of a sudden, I got Kamla. Everyone said, "Who the hell
is she?" But that didn't work out too well for them. But never happened before. We are
about lots of firsts. Designated English as the official language of the United
States of America. We did that very powerfully. And while we're at it, we also took the
Gulf of Mexico and now it's the Gulf of America because we have 92% of the
shoreline. It always bothered me. I'd say, you know, we have most of the shoreline. Mexico has a small percentage
talks about 8%. We have 92%. And I said, why? Why is it the Gulf of Mexico? It
should be the Gulf of America. I was going to call it the Gulf of Trump, but I thought that I would be killed if I
did that. I wanted to do it. I wanted to. My people work so hard. Sir, I don't think it'll look too good. I'm telling
you, it's a good thing. And it'll be hotter than ever. I said, "No, but I
decided not to do that. I'm I'm joking, you know, when I say that. I was not gonna call it the Gulf of Trump because
tomorrow be Trump wanted to call it the Gulf of Trump, but he was rebuffed by his people. My people don't rebuff me
too much. The Gulf of Trump that does have a good ring though. I don't Maybe we could do
that. It's not too late. No, we have the Gulf of America now. It's great.

Part 2 of 2

It's our country is proud for the attack on Venezuela, the attack on the Iran
nuclear capability, wiped it out. I mean, be first administration,
Solomaini, the father of the roadside bomb, Al Baghdaddy, the father of ISIS, who
was rebuilding ISIS. We wiped them out, done a great job.
Signed an order that will end birthright citizenship for children of illegal migrants. You know that case is in court
right now. That case was meant for the children of slaves. All you have to do
is look at the years. Look at the look at the years where the cases were filed and where the decisions were made. They
were right at the end of the Civil War. They're trying to say that, you know,
and China is making a big business out of that. They come to the country, they have a child, they American citizen, they get all the benefits.
They have nothing to do with that. That was for the children of slaves.
And I hope the Supreme Court so rules designated fentinol as a weapon of mass
destruction. It is. We lost, I believe, 300,000 people last year. This year,
300,000 people. That's like filling up one of those big football stadiums five times.
It's not even believable. I mean, you could be in a war and you wouldn't lose that many people.
So we designated fentinol a weapon of mass destruction. Conducted numerous successful military strikes against
narot terrorists operating in our hemisphere including the water strikes.
Drugs brought in by ocean. So I told you that we're down by I mean close to 100%.
It's hard to get somebody to pilot those boats. Very hard. They have to be people
that don't watch television, don't read the news. And we just blew up their uh facility.
They had a docking facility where the drugs were stored. And now we have a great relationship with Venezuela. We're
getting along fantastically with the leadership in Venezuela. So we wouldn't have to do that. This was done before
before the attack. But we captured and brought to justice
the outlaw dictator of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, who through drugs
killed millions of people in our country. Tremendous drug dealer. Also sent
millions of people into our country, including Trend Deaga, the worst gang. They say it's the worst gang in the
world. They took over parts of Colorado. They just take the apartment building. They just took it away. He just took it
away like we're here. They cut the hand off one man because he called the police. Who called the police? I did.
You took my apartment from me. Boom. No hand. This is what they sent us.
Restoring law and order. New category. DC and Memphis. Federal task forces deployed massive numbers of federal law
enforcement officers and National Guard to restore safety. Crime down in DC is
almost down to nothing. DC was a very very dangerous place and I think you
probably know better than I do. I have a lot of people in the media thanked me for that. But uh some of them found it
hard to thank me. But you know uh DC is now look how beautiful DC is now. You
can walk right from here to a restaurant right through the center of town. You can be with your child, with your loved
one, with your lover. Your lover's not going to be killed anymore. So he can act like a real
lover. But you can be you can walk right through the middle of the town and
DC is beautiful again too. You know, you notice we took all the fences down. Almost all the rest are coming down. We
took got the graffiti all off. National Guard's been amazing. You know, we didn't tell them to do that. That's not their job description. But they were
picking up garbage and they were great. And I don't know to me that to me a town it looks better when you have military
people. These are big strong guys are bad guys look at them and they say we're not going to mess around. But uh what
they don't know is that we took over 2,000 people out permanently out of DC. These were career criminals.
But I feel much better uh seeing those people there. I went in a couple of
times and had dinner in DC. I walked right down the middle of the street. I felt very safe. a year ago. I couldn't
have done that. I would have been crazy to have done that. Secret Surfers wouldn't let me do it. They weren't
thrilled anyway, I will tell you. Wasn't like they were thrilled, but but uh we
did it and it was great. But DC is a great thing. We have uh virtually no
crime in DC anymore. And before before we did this move, it was and we could do
the same thing with Chicago. You know, we brought Chicago down 25% even though we just had a minimal crew there. We
brought uh we brought uh Wisconsin uh down. We brought Minnesota
down way down even though everything's a fight, you know, because they want to
keep those people that are lying on the floor. They want to keep those people in Minnesota, but they really don't. I
don't think the real people of Minnesota very corrupt place. Uh and the elections are totally corrupt. I feel I won it all
three times. Nobody's won that state since Richard Nixon. It's a rigged state. And the Somalians vote as one
group, even if they're not citizens. And they vote as one group. And you know, you get
600,000 votes against you. They all ought to get the hell out of here. They're bad for our country.
Nationwide achieved the largest reduction in violent crime on record. So this just came out. nationwide over the
last 11 months achieved the largest reduction in violent crime on record, including the largest one-year drop in
murders ever recorded. Almost 2,000 lives were saved. That's
despite the fact that we took in criminals under the leadership of the Democrats and Joe Biden.
more motor vehicle theft is down by
100,000 vehicles nationwide. That's another nationwide the motor vehicle theft is at
was out of control and now it's very much in control. Uh it was down by more
than 100,000 vehicles to a low a record low. Began
the process of eliminating cashless bail policies across the nation. You got to get rid of your sanctuary cities. And I
hope our people know that we're not going to pay sanctuary cities. We're not going to pay them anymore.
They are sanctuary for criminals. They hold criminals. We're not going to pay. They can sue us and maybe they'll
win, but we're not giving money to sanctuary cities anymore. As of the
beginning of the month, we began the process of eliminating the cashless bail. Well, cashless bail is
where it all started. It's a disaster. And then other places, I don't know if it started in New York. I remember it
starting in New York. So, somebody comes and murders somebody and they let him out. No bail, no nothing. Basically,
cashless bail means you just get the hell out and they go outside. We have
one case where a guy murders somebody, gets released, and goes out and murders somebody, two people in one day.
No, we got to get rid of cashless bail. Well, you got to pay. Got to have bail. There's a reason for bail. Long tested.
Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We're going to have to bring them back.
Hate to build those suckers, but but you got to get the people off the streets.
You know, we used to have when I was growing up, we had in my area in Queens, I grew up in Queens, we had a place
called Creedmore. Creedmore. Did anybody know that? Creedmore. It was a big I
said, "Uh, mom, why are those bars on the building?" I used to play little league baseball
there, place called Cunningham Park, who's quite the baseball player. You
wouldn't believe. But I said to my mother, "Mom," she would be there,
always there for me. She said, "Son, you could be a professional baseball player." I said, "Thanks, Mom." I said,
"Why are those bars on the windows? big building, big
powerful building. It loomed over the park actually. She said, "Well,
people that are very sick are in that building." I said, "Boy, I used to always look at
that building and I'd see this big building, big tall building. It loomed over the park. was sort of now that I
think it was pretty unfriendly site, but I I'll never forget I don't know if it's still there
because they got rid of most of them, you know, they the Democrats in New York, they took them down and the people
live on the streets now. That's why you have a lot of the people in in California and other places, they live
in the streets. They took the mental institutions down. They're expensive. But I'd say, why does that building have
those bars, boy, it didn't it wasn't normal. You know, you're used to looking at like a window,
but this one you're looking at all the steel, vicious steel, tiny windows, bars all over the place. Nobody was getting
out. It's called the mental institution. That was an insane asylum.
Designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and many others. It is
America's respected again on the world stage. That's another topic. obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capability and
operation midnight hammer was one of the most successful anyone's ever seen. CNN fake news. I don't know where they are.
CNN, anybody from CNN here? Fake news. Nobody wants to raise their hand anymore. They used to be here. Now, if
you're with CNN, you don't raise your hand. But they said, well, maybe it wasn't that successful. Which I really
went was angry because these pilots took their life in their hands. two o'clock in the morning with no moon, dead dark,
gun shooting at him. They went in with those beautiful B2s and every single bomb went down an air shaft and
obliterated it. And CNN came out and said, "Well, maybe it wasn't by the same
by a scam writer." A scam writer who wrote, you know, fake stories, a lot of fake stories on other topics, right?
Because when we did it, we said, "That's a terrible thing." You know, the pilots came back and they said, "We hit
everything." They did a great job. Then on top of that, we launched from a submarine
about 30 tomahawks on top of everything else. The place was obliterated. CNN
said, "Well, maybe it wasn't that bad. It was turned out it was worse than it
was." You know who could tell you that? The Iranians would tell you that because
if they do anything, they're going to have to start a brand new place. But they did an amazing job. That was a That
was like what we did with Venezuela. I mean, nobody's ever seen a military
operation like that. Ended eight unendable wars in 10 months. These were
unendable wars. Cambodia and Thailand fighting for years. Kosovo and Serbia,
the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, they were really going at it. Eight planes shot down. They were going
to go nuclear in my opinion. the um prime minister of Pakistan was here and
he said President Trump saved 10 million people and maybe much more than that. They're both nuclear countries.
Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia were going to fight over a dam and I got them
to stop. I still got to work it out because they put a dam up in Ethiopia
that stops the flow from a little river called the Nile. I always
think of the Nile being in Egypt. You know, it's beautiful Nile with the pyramids, but they put a dam up. You
know who paid for the dam? The United States of It's biggest dam I think in the world. They put a dam up. I
said, "How did you let that happen? Why would we have done that? We financed it.
This country would I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it was a Republican president, but I don't think it was. I
think it was a Democrat. But what a terrible thing." So Egypt basically uh is you know they don't have enough water
in the Nile and they use that for uh a lot of things including entertainment
and travel and tourism and everything. I mean I don't know they they got a big dam. I got to work that one out now too.
Armenia and Azerbaijan. President Putin told me I cannot believe you settled
that war. I've been trying to settle that war for 10 years. Armenia and Azerbaijan.
They were fighting it for many, many years. And I ended up getting the heads
of the both countries in my office, the beautiful Oval Office, much more beautiful now than it ever was. And once
out of one side, once out of the other, he said, "You know, I've been the head of Azerbaijan for 22 years, and for 22
years, I've been killing his people." and the other gentleman and both very
good guys said, "I've been here for seven years and for seven years I've been killing his people." And they
started over there and within an hour they were next to each other and by the time we ended they were hugging each other and it's been a great piece. You
know, should have gotten the Nobel Prize for each war. But I don't say that. I
saved millions and millions of people. And don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots, okay?
It's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. They'll say, "We have nothing to do with it." Uh, it's a joke. They've
lost such prestige. Got all That's why I have such respect for Maria doing what
she did. She said, "I don't deserve the Nobel Prize." He does. When she got it, they named They said, "Wow, that's
amazing. I thought President Trump would get it." President Trump deserves it. He ended up eight wars.
How nice, right? Good woman. got all 20 living hostages returned to their
families and the remains. Uh they all came out. We got the 20 living hostages.
We got the 28 hostages. They have one left that we think we know where it is.
Amazing. Looked like we weren't going to get anywhere near that. Now they've gotten almost. And uh more importantly,
we got many more. Hundreds. Got them all. If we didn't if we didn't do it,
you wouldn't have had most of those people would have been dead. I don't know if that's covered properly, but you
know, the 20 is great. They were the last ones. I always said the last 20 are going to be hard, but we got them. We
got the last 20 and we got close to 28 of the uh of the bodies of the dead. And
to those parents, that was just as important as getting their son back alive. They they were almost even more
intent on getting they knew their son was dead. They wanted to get the body. I got him back.
We just created the Board of Peace, which I think is uh going to be amazing.
I wish the United Nations could do more. I wish we didn't need a board of peace, but the United N, you know, with all the
wars I settled, the United Nations never helped me on one. I mean, I guess I'm
not blame. I didn't call them to help, but I got, you know, the presidents and
prime minister together. We knocked heads. We got along and they liked me. me. I like them. Every single one of
them nominated me for a Nobel Prize. Every one of the wars
among many other people nominated me for a Nobel Prize. But Putin told me, "I
cannot believe you got this war settled. I've worked on it for 10 years because it's his territory. Rescued 83 American
hostages and citizens detained from abroad without paying
a lot of money. Paid no money. apprehended terrorists responsible for the Abbegate bombing that claimed the
lives of 13 US service members in Afghanistan. The lowest point in the history of our country. That was a Biden
disaster. I was getting out, but I was getting out with dignity and strength. We were the boss. Oh, we were the boss.
They wouldn't do a thing against us. And this very stupid person got in. And what a
shame. They should have left from Bram, which is the big military base which has
hundreds of acres around it. Should have left from Bram. Terminated visas of Hamas sympathizers and deported pro-
jihad foreign nationals. Got NATO members to agree to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP from 2% and they
paid the 5% and they didn't pay the 2%. And by the way, I did more for NATO than any other person alive or dead.
Nobody's done for NATO. And I think for the most part they'll tell you that. I think you could ask the secretary
general about that, but he said it a lot. I've done more for NATO than anybody. And I
see all the stuff, but NATO has to treat us fairly, too. The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of
money with NATO, and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I I just really do question whether or not they'll come to
ours. You know just I'm just asking
just saying right you remember during the debate just saying signed1 trillion
dollar investment in US military and next year we hopefully will go to 1.5
trillion we're building battleships that are 100 times more powerful than the battleships of World War II which are
the big beautiful those big beautiful things with the guns I said what about bringing them out of dry do they said
sir what we're building will blow them away it's think of it These ships are
100 times more powerful than the battleships that you see on Victory at Sea. Do you ever see Victory at Sea?
What a great thing that is to watch. Renamed the Department of Defense into
the Department of War, which everyone loves, by the way. Signed landmark critical minerals deals with Australia,
Malaysia, Thailand, Ukraine, Japan, and many others. We're going to have so much
rare earth. It's actually not that rare. Getting it processed is rare, but there's a lot of rare earth. There's a
lot of earth around, I can tell you. Withdrew from the corrupt World Health
Organization where we were paying hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
So, we were paying $500 million a year and China is paying $37
million a year. I said, "Why aren't we paying the same as China?" They said, "Well,
nobody asked." I said, "China's got 1.4 billion people. We have 350 million
probably with all the illegals." You know, China probably knows more accurately, but we have much smaller in
terms of the number of people. We have a much more powerful military, but we have much smaller I rebuilt the military
during my first term, by the way. And while they gave away a lot to Afghanistan, the Taliban,
uh, which was just horrible, seeing them every year seeing them do that military down some dirty street is a disgrace.
But while they gave while Biden gave a lot of it away, it's a tiny fraction compared to what we did. I rebuilt the
military and now we're re we're continuing to to build it and uh bigger
and better. We need it peace through strength. But we uh withdrew from the
corrupt World Health Organization. So I remember we were paying 500 million. They were paying 37 or 39 million. And
they said, "How come?" So I withdrew and they called, "We'll give you the same deal that they had." I said, "Well, it
should be less than that because if they're at 37 and you have three times, four times the
number of people, even maybe five times, I don't know. So, it should be less, but
I I didn't want to chisel around and I thought about it. So, I could have taken
500 million to 37 and everybody knew it. I chose not to do it because it was actually very popular when I got out
because they were terrible. And so, I chose not to take that deal. First thing
Biden did is go back into it. You know what he paid? More than 500 million. So, I actually called them. I said, you
know, you can buy it for less. You can make a deal at 37. There's no reason to pay 500. They didn't care. They paid
more than 500. Did you know that? They paid more than 500 million. I made a deal at 37. I could have had 37. They
were public about it. We'll give you the same deal that China has for 37.
And they paid 500. They paid $500 million. That's the way you ruin a
country. And it's the same attitude that you know you have on everything else with these people. They were terrible.
the anti-American UN Human Rights Council. We ended the UN UN Relief and
Works Agency. We ended and the fake Paris climate accord, which was a ripoff
of America, where we had to pay a trillion dollars and they were paying nothing. China didn't kick in until
2035. We kicked in immediately. We were supposed to pay a trillion dollars. Russia went to a standard of 1991, which
was a dirtier standard, but we had to pay top dollar. So I terminated that.
Another Rick. We ended the woke lunacy and restored common sense. Abolished all
discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion DEI policies throughout the federal government and the private
sector. They're gone, everybody. They're gone. Terrible. Terminated the Green New
Scam ended the insane electric vehicle mandate. I love electric vehicles. That
caused me a little problem with a man named Elon. But he understands and he's a good guy.
We get along. But I said, Elon, we can't have all electric cars. We just can't do it. I like the electric cars. I like his
car, but uh in particular, I like his car.
But we can't do that because some people don't want an electric car by 2030.
And to build the power stations all over the country would have cost $4 trillion. Four trillion. That's more than any
country has. If you got China, the United States, and everyone, you couldn't do it. And it would have taken
years. And yet, they were supposed to be switching over electric vehicle mandate.
Some people don't like electric cars. Some people want hybrids. Some people want regular gasoline powered cars. We
have more gasoline than anybody. And now with Venezuela, we have, you know, we have 62% of the market when you include
Venezuela. So, I ended the green new scam and I ended the insane
electric vehicle mandate. Now, you can buy a gasoline powered car, a hybrid,
and you can buy a electric vehicle. I mean, if you think
if you want electric, you can buy it. Make a good deal on them right now because they made a lot of them.
Permanently stopped Joe Biden's ridiculous cafe standards. That's having to do with the environment. So
ridiculous. Cancel the EPA's absurd. Totally absurd tailpipe emission
standard which made you spend hundreds of thousands. It made for hundreds of
thousands of cars. The numbers the cost numbers were incredible that
the consumer has to pay. Imposed 25% tariff on all foreign automobiles and 100% tariff on Chinese cars which
don't come into the country because of tariffs. Only because of tariffs. If we didn't have tariffs, you wouldn't have
any car. We have now more car factories being built in the United States than ever before because of tariffs. If they
take those tariffs away, China will eat our lunch. They'll take all of our car
business. Now, there's another way of doing it, but it's more cumbersome,
etc., etc. I don't want to scare you, but it's more much more cumbersome. not as good not as good for national
security as this. We have a perfect system right now. We're making a fortune. We've never been stronger and I
hope the Supreme Court does the right thing for our country because if they don't, it's such a pro. It's just so it
would be so sad. We're doing so well because of tariffs. and the people that
are heading up the lawsuit like there's a guy named Leonard Leo
who's uh bad guy
and people that are very China oriented and foreign car oriented and foreign businessoriented but in particular China
they're suing to get rid of tariffs because they don't want tariffs like Ko KO has businesses outside of the United
States if you have them outside you want tariffs, but because of tariffs, they treat us well. Without tariffs, they
would treat us very badly, as you saw for many years. They respect us more now
than they ever have respected us by a lot. And revoked the California
emissions waiver to stop San Francisco communists from regulating the automobile industry and destroying
automobiles and the industry in the nation. I was with Bill Ford of Ford
Motors. I was with all the people at General Motors the other day and they are making more money and building more
cars than they've ever they are doing so good. All because of tariffs and what I've done and they're building their
plants all in the United States. Reopened Anoir for drilling. That's a
big deal. Launched a massive Alaskan pipeline project to export natural gas
to Asia. We made a deal with South Korea and with Japan that gives us money the
likes of which nobody's ever seen before. Signed executive orders to end Biden's war on coal and put I say clean,
beautiful coal. I never say the word coal. This has to be preceded by the words clean, beautiful coal. And put
miners back to work. The miners love Trump. I think I got 100% of their vote.
We banned transgenders from the military. We don't want transgender in the military. Ordered reinstatement of
patriots expelled from our military with full back pay. So we had some people
that were terminated and they're coming back into our military. Fired the woke boards of visitors at our military
servicemies. The boards of visitors were run by radical left. Maybe communists,
maybe not, but they were still heavily radical left and they were bad for us. signed an executive order to remove
anti-American propaganda from federal museums and national parks. Required the
federal employees to return to work in person or be fired. We don't want them sitting
in their home on their bed working. We want them in an office that we're paying for in Washington DC or wherever it may
be. Then we've largely taken care of that mess. That was crazy. I guarantee
you they're out on the ball fields. I guarantee you they're out playing golf.
And you can't run a country or a company that way. I think it's happening even so with countries and companies. But we had
so many of our federal workers, they wouldn't come into work. Signed an order banning all government censorship and
restoring free speech. Made it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two
genders. This was not a tough one. Two genders. Can anybody guess what they are?
male and female. I think the Democrats know that too, but they refuse to admit it.
Ban the use of puberty blockers, hormone injections, and other chemical
and surgical mutilation of children. Can you imagine saying this 15 years ago that we banned the use of puberty
blockers, hormone injections, and other chemical and surgical mutilation of our
children? You know when I say it I say is do I have to say that? I actually asked my
people today. Yes sir. Because people it's where the country went banned men
from playing in women's sports. Big Supreme Court case on that. I mean I I can't believe it. Some of the justices
were fighting hard for men to be able to play in women's sports. Couple of them.
I can't imagine it. I think anybody that rules that way should should lose a lot of credibility.
But we banned men from playing in women's sports. All you have to do is look at the records, look at weightlifting records, look at swimming
records, look at track and field. It's not fair. It's very uh demeaning to
women. Banned transgender ideology and critical race theory from our schools.
Secured unprecedented settlements with Brown University, Columbia University,
and many other colleges, including the University of Pennsylvania, where I went, the great old Wharton School of
Finance, to restore fairness and merit. We're working with Harvard right now. They've
been very anti-semitic. Terrible what they've done. And we'll see what
happens. I I hear we have a deal, but who the hell knows with them. They have a lawyer that wants to show how hot he
is. Ended taxpayer funded student loan forgiveness for radical left and
anti-American activists. Can you believe it? Began the process of abolishing the federal department of education and
returning education back to the states. And Linda McMahon is doing a fantastic job. ended Joe Biden's weaponization of
our government and removed his handpicked radical left Marxist prosecutors
from the Department of Justice like deranged Jack Sickmith. He's a sick son
of a They gave me the worst of the worst and
here I am. How did that happen? How did that happen? He's a sick guy. And
Leticia James is sick and Alvin Bragg is sick. They're sick people
and others. Fanny. Fonnie. You can't call Fanny. She doesn't like it. She wants to be called Fawnie.
Fonnie Willis. I want Can you imagine have putting
somebody through that? And then if I suggest that somebody may be guilty of a
terrible crime. Oh, he's weaponizing government. Trump is weaponizing
government. It's terrible. Can you imagine they say to me about
weaponiz? I don't weaponize anything. But what they did to me, nobody ever went through what I went through. And
here I am in a place called the White House. It's a beautiful place. Who would have thought, right? Signed legislation
to cut all taxpayer funding to woke and biased
NPR and PBS. And they're sort of gone now, I guess. I heard they closed up. They were terrible. They were so unfair.
They were so terrible. Officially reinstated Columbus Day. I like the name
Columbus Day. The Italian people are very happy about it. Remember when you go to the voting
booths? I reinstated Columbus Day. That was an easy one. Christopher Columbus cut Social Security weight times by 50%.
serve 65% more social security recipients by phone and
are on track to doubling the service and performance compared to the Biden administration. We're two and a half to
three times better and faster. Slashed VA claims backlog to the lowest
number ever recorded. Created Trump accounts starting with
$1,000 for every newborn baby. This is something that's become so popular and I
give Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dell Dell computer uh who put in 6 billion250
million started with nothing and he actually invested all that money to give to kids so that when they grow up they
have an account that might be worth a lot of money. It'll it'll be riding with the markets and you know they can at 20
years old, 21 years old, they could have $100,000. They could have a lot of money. That's going to be amazing. But I
give a lot of credit to Mr. Mrs. Michael Dell. Signed AI executive order
to ensure the United States dominates the future of artificial intelligence.
So we're leading China. We're leading the whole world. We're producing more electricity than we ever have because
I'm allowing every one of those plants to build their own electric facility. We're giving them very, very fast
approvals unlike Los Angeles with the fire. So, the federal government, I want to give a lot of credit to Lee Zeldon,
the hardest approval for the 20,000 houses or more that burned down in Los Angeles because they didn't have the
water. They didn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed the water into the Pacific
Ocean. So we had no water there. Not No, he had I would say open up the water.
Open it up to the governor, to the mayor. They didn't want to do it. They wanted to protect a tiny little fish.
That's you know, I said how can you have a fish when you don't have any water?
It was just an excuse, I guess. But uh it's it's amazing. We took 20,000 houses
and Lee Zeldon the the mo the toughest permit is from the federal government.
Within two weeks, every single permit was given to the people to build their
houses. Then you have the incompetent mayor of Los Angeles. He's no who decide to go to Africa during the fire. So you
have this incompetent mayor and I had it out with her the night when I got right after the fire went there. She said, 'We
working on it so that we can have everybody starting to build within two or three years. Remember that? I said,
'You mean two or three days? No, I mean two or three years. And the
place went crazy. Well, they still haven't gotten their permits, but every
f federal permit, every single one has been given a year ago. And Lee Zelden
has done a great job. But he's done a great job in the approval of all these big plants and factories and all of the
electricity that they're creating for themselves. I said to uh Zuckerberg, I
said to all of them, I said to Jeff Bezos, I said to everybody,
Mark Zuckerberg couldn't believe it. He he said, you know, where are we going to get all the electricity because you need double the electricity that the c the
country currently makes just to fire up those big plants. I said, "Well, nobody
can do that. So, what we're going to do is let you make your own electricity." Nobody believed it. And I said, "We're
going to get you fast permit so we get them within two weeks." And they're coming up with some of the most incredible electric plants you've ever
seen. So, each one of those massive buildings, AI or otherwise, is building
their own electricity. They're building their own plant, and it's incredible. Many of them are under construction
already. You're going to have uh we're leading AI and we're leading China by a
lot. Established a Maha presidential commission, banned many artificial food
dies, as you know, issued new vaccine recommendations and created new real food pyramid. And Bobby and Dr. Oz have
been incredible. Provided 12 billion in aid for American farmers. Just gave them 12 billion dollars in aid because they
got screwed by other nations. And the number of drug dealers have fallen every
single month since I took office. Drug dealers are way down in the United
States. And that's a small version of what's sitting right there. That's just
a small version. We took a country that was dead and it's the hottest country in
the world right now. And that's after one year. So let's go.
That's a lot of people.
All right. Please. Yeah. Go ahead. Thank you so much, Mr. President. Uh, I have a two questions for you. One, do
you want uh your board of peace to replace the UN? Well, Mike, I mean, the UN just hasn't
been very helpful. I'm I'm a big fan of the UN potential, but it has never lived up to its potential. The UN should have
settled every one of the wars that I settled. I never went to them. I never even thought to go to them. uh they
should be able to settle those wars. They don't I I believe you got to let the UN continue because uh the potential
is so great. Invite Lula from Brazil to be part of
the board of peace. What what role do you expect him to play especially for
Venezuela? And another one because the you are you from Brazil? Yes. The EU and Americauro just signed a
trade agreement this weekend which is going to be the the biggest uh trade zone free zone in the world.
Uh at the moment you are talking a lot about tariffs. Um what is your reaction to that? So two questions about
look I just think this I think we have trade like we've never had before. We're doing better in trade than we ever have
before. We're not being ripped off by every country in the world like we were before. Uh we're doing we're doing
numbers that nobody's ever thought possible. We're the richest we ever were. It's because of tariffs and the
proper use of tariffs. And we're also the most secure. As an example, Iceland
without tariffs, they wouldn't even be talking to us about it. So we'll see what happens. I think it's going to work out quite
right behind. Thank you, Mr. President. How would you characterize your relationship with Emanuel Mccron and Kier Starmer right
now? And have you spoken to them since your recruit social post? No, I haven't. But I think I get along very well with them. I mean, they they
always treat me well. They get a little bit rough when they're, you know, when I'm not around, but when I'm around,
they treat me very nicely, and you know, I like both of them. They're both liberal. Uh they've got to
straighten out their countries. You can't, you know, London is having a lot of problems. And if you look at Paris
got a lot of problems. They have two problems. immigration and energy. They
got to stop with the windmills and they got to go back like uh UK has an unbelievable asset called the North Sea.
Norway uses it, makes a fortune. They have a better section of it and they don't do it. They could straighten out
their countries and it would be good. But I get along very well. Have you uh told Norway's prime
minister, are you from Norway? No. You look like you would be, but she looks like she's from Norway.
Go ahead. Uh, you told Norway's prime minister that you not winning the Nobel Peace Prize made you feel less obligated to
think purely of peace. Well, I lost a lot of respect for Norway and I believe and I believe very
strongly that Norway controls the Nobel Prize. But you have to understand I settled eight wars. I've had uh every one of
those wars, every participant wrote I didn't ask them to do it. They sent in strong recommend, you know, they make
recommendations for that. But I settled eight wars. No president's probably ever settled one war. I don't know. Think of
it. I did eight. The reason I do it is because it's easy for me to do. And I
didn't do it for a Nobel Prize. I did it because I'm saving a lot of lives. I'm trying to settle the final one. I'm
trying to do Russia Ukraine. And when Russia's ready, Ukraine's not. When Ukraine's ready, Russia's not. But
they're losing 25,000 people a month on average and I'm trying to get that one done. But no, I feel but I feel that
Norway has tremendous control over who gets to the Nobel Prize despite what they said.
How far are you willing to go to acquire green? You'll find out.
Thank you, Mr. President. Kevin Hasset has said that those $2,000 tariff rebate
checks would be up to Congress to decide whether or not to disperse that. Do you
agree with Kevin Hass on that or do you think you can do that unilaterally? I don't I don't think we would have to
go the Congress route, but you know, we'll find out. The reason that we're even talking about it is that we have so
much money coming in from tariffs that we'll be able to issue at least a $2,000 dividend and also pay down debt for the
country. Uh but we do a $2,000 dividend to the people of our country. It would probably set a limit of, you know,
income limit uh where it made sense. But uh we will be able to make a very
substantial dividend to the people of our country. Uh I believe we can do that without Congress.
Mr. President, uh last night on True Social, um you said that the British plan to hand the base of Diego Garcia over to Maitius and
then rent it back was an act of great stupidity. Previously, you backed that deal. Is it now your position that the
deal should not go ahead? I think that they, you know, when they originally were going to do it, they were talking about doing some concept of
ownership, but now they're looking to essentially just do a lease and sell it. And I'm against that. You know, it's a
reasonably nothing like Greenland, but it's a reasonably important uh area of
the globe. Not to anywhere near Greenland, but I think they should keep it. I don't know why they're doing. Do
they need money? Thank you, Mr. President. Uh, with your
support to the Syrian government, most probably you avoided another civil war and a bloodshed in Syria, especially
after the fall of the regime. Good job. I did a good job. And the Syrian government the last two weeks uh
had to use some force to to implement its force on uh specific areas and
keep to keep the prisoners the terrorist prisoners which are some of the worst in the world at bay. So they they were able
to keep that he's working very hard. The president of Syria is working very very
hard. Strong guy, tough guy. Uh pretty rough resume. But you're not going to
put a choir boy in there and, you know, get the job done. Uh, I spoke with with him yesterday because we were talking
about the prisons and, you know, what was going We have some of the worst terrorists in the world in those prisons and he's watching
serious. Mr. President, Gavin Newsome is going to be at Davos. If he's not already there, you're probably going to run into him. I
presume that this is for him to raise his platform for 2028, but what do you anticipate his foreign policy platform
is going to be? I don't know. I mean, I don't know that he's going to be the nominee. I I know this. I had a very good relationship
with Gavin Newsome when we were, you know, in office together. I was president. He was the governor of
California. We had a really He would talk about it often. And somewhere we just went astray. I just I just hate the
way California is being run. We actually have people leaving. It's never happened
before, but I hate the way it's being run. He and I had a very good relationship. really uh clo close to the
word exceptional but now we seem not to
president you spoke earlier Mr. President, you're you've been hearing from allies know about you.
Thank you so much, President Trump. Car Castanov from Lindell TV and you spoke earlier about the 2020 election. Uh now
that uh Maduro Maduro is in US custody and he was criminally charged, has any more information emerged that you could
share with us regarding Venezuelan election software and Venezuelan ties to tampering with the 2020 election? And
would you consider speaking to Maduro personally in prison uh in New York to get some answers on Venezuela's
involvement with the 2020 election? No, I don't think I would be doing that. I think my lawyers would be very unhappy
if I did. Yeah, they've learned they've learned some things. Please, what happens to the tariff threat to
Greenland if the Supreme Court comes out and rules against you on the tariffs and Well, I'll have to use something else. I
mean, look, are you willing to use force? You know, take a look at the word license. Take a look at other things. I mean, we have other alternatives, but
the what we're doing now is the best, the strongest, the fastest, the easiest, the least complicated.
If you move ahead um with the the Greenland related tariffs on Europe, you secured almost a trillion dollars of
commitments from them to invest in the United States. Does that go put out the window if that happens?
Uh, I doubt it. Look, they want to they need that agreement very badly with us. They really do. They they fought very
hard to get it. So, I doubt that, but we'll see what happens. We have a lot of meetings scheduled on Greenland. I'm
leaving tonight as you know, Davos, and we have a lot of meetings scheduled on Greenland, and I think things are going
to work out pretty well, actually. Thank you, Mr. President. Will you uh
still go to Paris for the G7 emergency meeting as offered by President Mron?
No, I wouldn't do that. Mr. Mr.
Mr. Because you know Emanuel Emanuel is not going to be there very long and you know
there's no longevity there. He's a friend of mine. He's a nice guy. I like Mcronone but but he's not he's not going
to be there very much longer as you know and I think you know I have meetings with the people that are directly
involved not uh some of the people you're talking
Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Mr. President, and happy new year. I've never seen this room like this. Is this a celebration of the first year?
Have you ever seen it? I've never seen this many I hope we have a very good I hope we
have a very good structural floor. You know, this used to be a swimming pool. You're sitting over a swimming pool. I
could see that happening. But this we need a good structure here, don't we? Huh? Yeah,
Mr. President. Thank you so much, Mr. President. Happy oney year anniversary. Thank you. And my my question is sorry
on Syria. The Kurds as the most loyal US partners facing attacks by some Syrian elements within the Syrian government.
Will you do to ensure the Kurdish rights protected and their effective forces against terrorism in Rojava, Syria
continued as the Kurdish see you as a president does not abandon his allies. Well, I like the Kurds, but just so you
understand, the Kurds were paid tremendous amounts of money were given oil and other things. So, uh, they were
doing it for themselves more so than they were doing it for us, but we got along with the Kurds and we are trying
to protect the Kurds. That's correct. Ahead of your speech in Davos, can you give us a preview of what we can expect
as far as, you know, laying out the plans for Americans to be able to buy homes? I think more than anything else, what
I'm going to be speaking about is the tremendous success that we've had in one year. I didn't think we could do it this fast. Uh, think of it. It's just now 12
months and you know I say it often. We have the most successful country in the world. We have the hottest country
anywhere in the world by far. And this country would have been absolutely stone cold dead. Uh, and I'm going to be
talking about it. I'm going to be because, you know, a lot of them could use some of the advice as to what we did. They need energy. You take a look
at their energy policies. They're going to destroy themselves with what they're doing with the windmills and all the nonsense. They need energy help badly or
they're going to be in big trouble and they need immigration help badly. How much longer do you want to go?
You have a call with I do.
I I have I have a very I have a very important call with President Erdogan
who I like who I like a lot. One or one or two more questions.
Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Go ahead.
President, thank you, Mr. President. The red blouse. Go ahead.
You talked a lot at the beginning of this about the economy. Some positive economic indicators. Polling shows a
majority of Americans don't feel the economy is doing well. Are you worried you're making the same mistake as
President Biden by I hope I don't make the same mistake as him. Look, I inherited a terrible I
mean, it's a great question because we inherited a terrible terrible mess uh
between the border between all the problems. The whole country was falling apart and in 12 months, less than 12
months. I mean, in 12 months, we have the strongest border we've ever had. We have prices that are much much lower
than they were for the last we inherited very high prices. We inherited, remember
this, inflation was at a historic high. We had never had inflation like that.
They say 48 years, but whether it's 48 years or ever. We had the highest inflation in my opinion that we've ever
had. Prices because of that were very high. I inherited we brought down eggs
immediately. Remember the first news conference? They were screaming at me about eggs. I was in the position for
two days and they're scream we brought eggs down to lower than what they were before and by the way they continue that
way. We brought the prices down from when I came into office and from what Biden had way down. We're going to bring
them down further. But the job we did is is a miracle. The one of the reasons I'm doing this today is to explain. We
inherited a mess and we've made it a beautiful beautiful picture. Think of
gasoline at $1.99 in many states. $1.99 a gallon. It was $450, $5, in some
cases$6 or $7. We're at a $1.99. And energy is so big that with energy,
everything else comes down. But the prices are coming way down. And uh they're we're going to bring them down
further. But we started up here with these guys. We inherited a country that was broken. We inherited a country and
it's a I have a very warm spot. We've done very well with Venezuela and by the
way that even in itself is going to help us bring down the oil prices. I mean the
Venezuelan oil we've taken 50 billion 50 million gallons of oil. We've taken 50
million barrels of oil out of Venezuela in the first four days. We've got
millions of barrels of oil left. We're selling it on the open market. We're
bringing down oil prices incredibly. And when they come down, and they've already come down again, $1.99
a gallon for oil. Nobody thought they'd ever see it. All one or two more.
Go ahead. Go, go, go. Yes. I want to ask you about Iran. Is the military option still on the table? And
can you assure us that the killing in Iran has stopped? And when with when regard to your peace council, which
members have to pay one? So with Iran, are you from Iran? No, I cover the White House. Where are you from?
I'm Palestinian American. So with Iran, they were going to hang 837 people. And I let them be known that
and we let them know that if that happens, that will be a very bad day for them. And they decided not to do it.
They didn't hang the people. I can't tell you what's going to happen in the future, but supposedly they've taken that off the table, but they were going
to last week they were going to hang on Thursday or Wednesday. One, they were going to hang hang I think 837 people
and they didn't hang anybody. So, we're just going to have to see what happens
with Iran. Is the military option?
Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President. President Trump. Thank you, President Trump. Congratulations. Thank you, Mr.
President. Go ahead. I'll take your question. Thank you. Thank you. Go ahead. Right here. Thank you, Mr. President. Um, you
promised during your second inaugural to always put America first. I'm curious, how would you winning the Nobel Peace
Prize improve the lives of average everyday Americans? Why is this prize so important?
It wouldn't improve the lives of any what what would improve the lives of people are people that are living. I
saved probably tens of millions of lives in the wars. You know, if you add up the numbers, just just if you look at uh if
you look at any one of those wars, you're talking about millions of people. You multiply times eight. But when you
look at India and Pakistan, that could have been 10, 15, 20 million people. Could have been more than that. So I
saved millions of people. So that to me is the big thing.
a momentgo you suggested a moment ago that perhaps the reason why a positive story about the economy isn't getting
through is because of you know bad communications people but are average Americans wrong to still feel high
prices and how much longer does the White House hope that they so I think a lot of people a lot of people are listening to the fake news a
little bit and I'm not blaming anybody I think I I blame ourselves I think we've done a much better job than we're able
to promote We're not promoting. We're doing a great job and we're sort of letting the promotion take care of
itself. One of the reasons I'm doing this news conference, I think it's important. We have taken a mess and made
it really good. It's going to get even better. But if you look at prices from a
year or a year and a half ago, you look at the Biden prices, they were way up through the sky. And you know, they use
the word affordability. They just say affordability and they don't talk about it. They created the affordability
problem. And we have we are solving it. We have solved a lot of it. Again,
everybody agrees in this room. I think gasoline prices have come per gallon way down. When that happens, everything else
comes down. But they've come down way down. Uh many of the groceries have come way down. It's all happening and it's
happening strong. But if you go back a year, a year and a half, two years, take a look at those prices and look at the
prices now.
Thank you. The president of Venezuela, you made you made a condition. Where are you from? I'm from Spain.
Um, thank you. Uh, you made a condition that uh the political prisoners should be
freed. It seems that they are not being as fast as they promised in the beginning. Would that be an issue for
the current government? They've agreed that they're going to let I guess most of them out or depends on
what they did. But uh they have released a lot of they have a lot released a lot of political prisoners in Venezuela.
President earlier on last year you had mentioned you had indicated that you wanted to take back the Panama Canal. I
know we've we've heard a lot about Greenland. Is that still on the table? I don't want to tell you that.
Sort of. I must I must say sort of. That's sort of
Okay, one more. Uh, yes. Blonde, blue.
Yes. Go ahead, ma'am. Go ahead. With the blue holding the computer,
a consequence of your determination to take control of Greenland is the ultimate breakup of the NATO alliance.
Is that a price you're willing to pay? Uh, you mean the breakup of of
It's very interesting. So, I think something's going to happen that's going to be very good for everybody. Nobody's
done more for NATO than I have. As I said before, uh, in every way, getting
them to go up to five% of GDP was something that nobody thought was pos and pay. At 2% they weren't paying. At
5% they are paying and they're buying a lot of things from us and they're giving them, I guess, to Ukraine. That's up to
them, but they're giving them to whoever they're giving them to, but they're buying a lot. Uh, I think that we will
work something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we're going to be very happy, but we need it for
security purposes. We need it for national security and even world security. It's very important. How about
Thank you very much. Um, first of all, last year you told me that you believe that the reason you won election is
because God put you in this place so that you could save the world. Looking back one year, do you feel like God is
proud of the effort that you've put in? I do actually. I think God is very proud of the job I've done and that includes
for religion. You know, we're protecting a lot of people that are being killed, Christians,
Jewish people, and lots of people are being protected by me that wouldn't be protected by another type of president.
Uh, no, I think uh I think a lot of people are very proud of the job we've done. We've had an amazing year. This
has been one of the greatest years. Even some people that wouldn't necessarily love me instinctively, they're saying
this was an incredible year. We've had an incredible year economically. Uh look at our border. Our border was a
disaster. People poor mill. It was an invasion into our country of a lot of
very bad people. Good people too, but a lot of very bad people from prisons and
drug dealers and gangs and horrible people. Murderers. thousands and thousands of murderers
allowed into our country. And we now have the strongest border of any country. There's probably not a country
I guess North Korea has a pretty strong border, by the way. But there's not a country in the world that has a border
like we do. And we took it from the worst border. We had the worst border in the world. Now we have one of the strongest borders in the world.
One more one more question. Mr. President, you said your comment something's going to get worked out in
Greenland, but Greenlanders have made it clear they don't want to be part of the US the right to take away that
self-determin.
Mr. President, are you committed to keeping the US in NATO? I've I've had a such a good
relationship. I've made it so much better, so much stronger. It's so good now. NATO is so much stronger now. Uh, I
don't agree with a lot of the things they've done, but that was done before I got there. Uh, I think NATO's been uh,
good. Sometimes it's overrated, sometimes it's not, but we have a strong NATO. Uh, when I came here, we had a
weak NATO. We had a NATO NATO at 2% and they weren't paying. You had a a nothing NATO. Uh, NATO's, whether you like it or
not, it's only as good as we are. If NATO doesn't have us, NATO is not very strong.
Yes. No. Behind you, please. Thank you, President Trump. Yes. Go ahead. Greatly appreciate it, sir. We heard a long list of accomplishments from the
last year. Could you cherrypick the top three and then looking forward, what are your three most important priorities in 2026?
So, I think the building of a really powerful military has been a great achievement. And that would include the Venezuela thing. that would include uh
the uh attack on Iran and the wiping out of the nuclear threat. I think that's
been really amazing what we've done militarily. I think what we've done in business has been incredible. We have
$18 trillion coming in. Plants are being built all over the thousands of plants are being built all over the country. 18
trillion is a record. No country has ever come anywhere even close to that. I think that's a record. And I think uh
that uh most favored nations for drugs is something that nobody thought they'd
be able to get. Tariffs helped me there because the nations would have never gone along with it if I wasn't able to say if you don't go along with it, we're
going to put a 10 or 15 or 20% tariff on your nation and they went along and our
drug prices are going to come down at numbers never even seen before, never even thought possible before. So those
would be three things. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Congratulations. How was the game?
Go Indiana.

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy arriving home, say school officials. Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy arriving home, say school officials. Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained a five-year-old Minnesota boy on Tuesday as he returned home from school and transported him and his father to a Texas detention center, according to school officials.

Liam Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway the superintendent of the school district in Columbia Heights, a Minneapolis suburb, said at a press conference on Wednesday. Liam, who had recently turned five, is one of four children in the school district who have been detained by federal immigration agents during the Trump administration’s enforcement surge in the region over the last two weeks, the district said.

Liam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained, according to Zena Stenvik, the superintendent, who said she drove to the home when she learned of the detentions.

When she arrived, Stenvik said the father’s car was still running and the father and son had already been apprehended. An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”, the superintendent said in a statement.

Stenvik said another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied. Liam’s older brother, a middle schooler, came home 20 minutes later to find his father and brother missing, Stenvik said. Two school principals from the district also arrived at the home to offer support.

Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.

“The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them and he believes the father and son have remained together in detention.

School officials released two photos of the encounter, one showing Liam, in a blue knit hat, outside his front door with a masked agent by his side, and another showing Liam standing by a car with a man holding on to his backpack.

“Why detain a five-year-old? You cannot tell me that this child is going to be classified as a violent criminal,” Stenvik said.

Tricia McLaughlin, Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, said in a statement on Wednesday night that ICE was conducting a “targeted operation” to arrest Liam’s father, who she called an “illegal alien”. “ICE did NOT target a child,” she said. McLaughlin also alleged the father “fled on foot – abandoning his child”, saying, “For the child’s safety, one of our ICE officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended [his father].

“Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates,” she added.

The school district provided a statement from Liam’s teacher, who expressed shock over the boy’s detention: “Liam is a bright young student. He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He comes into class every day and just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

The detention of a young child will have ripple effects, said Prokosch. “Once his classmates learn the government took him away … I’m not qualified to talk about how much damage that is going to cause. It’s not just the family, it’s the entire community and all of those kids who are now going to be facing secondary trauma.”

Also on Tuesday, a 17-year-old Columbia Heights student was taken by “armed and masked agents” without parents present, Stenvik said. That student was removed from their car, she said.

In another case on 14 January, ICE agents “pushed their way into an apartment” and detained a 17-year-old high school girl and her mother, Stenvik said.

And in a fourth case, on 6 January, a 10-year-old fourth-grade student was allegedly taken by ICE on her way to elementary school with her mother. The superintendent said the 10-year-old called her father during the arrests and said that ICE agents would bring her to school, but when the father arrived at the school, he discovered both his daughter and wife had been taken. By the end of that school day, the mother and daughter were in a detention center in Texas.

Stenvik reported that as school officials were preparing for the press conference on Wednesday afternoon, an ICE vehicle drove on to the property of the district’s high school and were told by administrators to leave.

“ICE agents have been roaming our neighborhoods, circling our schools, following our buses, coming into our parking lots and taking our kids,” Stenvik said.

The DHS did not respond to inquiries about the other arrests and the report of ICE’s arrival on campus.

In an interview after the press conference, the superintendent said the arrests and looming presence of ICE had taken an enormous toll on students, parents and school staff.

“Our children are traumatized. The sense of safety in our community and around our schools is shaken,” Stenvik said. “I can speak on behalf of all school staff when I say our hearts are shattered. After our fourth student was taken yesterday, I just thought someone has to hear the story. They’re taking children.”

School officials said some families were choosing to stay home out of fear of ICE.

Stenvik said school leaders were working to aid families affected by ICE. “Our role is to educate children during the school day. But now we’re trying to help people navigate this legal system.” She added: “Our main priority is to keep children safe. They’re children. They are not violent criminals. They are little kids.”

ICE CAUGHT Killing Detainees In Trump's Camps
Really American
Jan 23, 2026

Really American host Tony Hinderman breaks down ICE getting caught in a lie after the autopsy of a Cuban detainee proves he was murdered



Transcript

Also tonight, the in custody death of a
Cuban migrant arrested by ICE in
Rochester last year and taken to a
detention facility in Texas has now been
ruled a homicide. Despite doing their
best to cover up ISIS's horrendous
crimes, the Trump administration has
failed to cover up a bombshell autopsy
report ruling that a recent death in ICE
custody was a homicide. We knew this was
coming all along. If the masked goons
were allowed to shoot an unarmed mother
in the streets, what's to stop them from
killing people behind closed doors or
dropping them off in the middle of the
night in the woods and letting them die
of cold? If that sounds at all like the
infamous Starlight tours from up in
Canada, that's because it's exactly the
same thing. We'll dive into these insane
ICE tactics as well as the first
documented murder in Trump's
concentration camps. Be sure you're
subscribed to Really American and let's
jump right into it.
The death of a Cuban man who lived in
Henrietta and died while in ICE custody
at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas,
ruled a homicide Wednesday. According to
an autopsy report obtained by 13wam
sister station Kfox, 55-year-old Heraldo
Lunis Campos's death was caused by
asphixxia due to neck and torso
compression. On January 9th, ICE first
reported that Lunas Campos, a convicted
felon arrested in Rochester last July,
experienced a medical crisis on January
3rd, and died at the Texas facility.
Last week, a Homeland Security
spokesperson told 13WAM, "Lunes Campos
attempted to take his own life and said,
quote, "He violently resisted the
security staff and continued to attempt
to take his life." During the ensuing
struggle, Campo stopped breathing and
lost consciousness. End quote.
If you believed ISIS story, it sounds
like this man wanted to off himself so
bad that the poor guards just couldn't
stop him from choking himself out. But
here's what actually happened from the
New York Times reporting. Here's the
headline. Death of Cuban detainee in El
Paso ICE facility is ruled a homicide.
His family has asserted that he was
killed by the facility's guards, citing
a witness who said he saw guards choking
Mr. Lunis Campos to death. He was being
abused and beaten and choked to death.
Janette Pagan Lopez, the mother of two
of Mr. Lunas Campos's children told the
New York Times last week on Wednesday.
Mrs. Pagan Lopez said she had not yet
seen the autopsy report. Federal
officials have offered a different
account of how Mr. Lunz Campos died. In
a January 9th news release, they said he
died on January 3rd after experiencing
medical distress. But after the
Washington Post article published, they
described his death as a I can't say
this word because I think it'll get the
channel demonetized now. So, you know,
he did it to himself. But what we know
is that MAGA is trying to just walk
right past this. They claimed first that
he just died on his own and then they
said that even if I did kill him, the
guy was a child predator and he was, so
therefore, it's okay. But for one, if
we're playing by those rules, then I got
to warn MAGA about their pal Donald
Trump. And two, ICE is brutalizing
everyone, even those who they end up
releasing. Reports are coming in from
citizens in Minneapolis stationed around
the Whipple facility where most of the
ICE detainees are first taken. And
they're saying that they're finding
released detainees randomly roaming
around the woods in the dead of night
with no clothes, no phones, and no way
out.
So, the people that are injured really
badly or maybe other people, too. We
don't know how many people are being
taken out into the woods around the
Whipple and released in the middle of
the night. You sometimes with no
clothes, always with no phone if they're
brown with no ID. Um, and it's a death
sentence. One of the pe one of the
people had a cracked skull that was
that's been treated. Um, so they're
taking the people that they don't want
us to know about and they're dropping
them in the woods, which I've heard is
uh something that they've been doing
with Native Americans for a long time
and we're just continuing that
tradition. But that is sickening me
right now.
Yeah. Absolutely. That is uh that is uh
information that we've been trying to
confirm here at Status C. Some of these
harrowing stories. Please, if you if you
Yeah, we can talk. Emily, I thank you
for for talk. Yeah, for talking to us
out here and thank you for being a
source. We appreciate it. Yeah, Emily's
raising something that has been the talk
of the activist community out here. And
keep in mind this is just rumor at this
point. But
reporting uh or what the what the rumors
are here among the activists here on the
ground is that what is happening is that
some of the people who are being
detained by federal immigration agents,
if they are not directly under ISIS
purview, eventually they have to be
released.
And when they are in some cases they're
being let out the front gates as we just
saw here. But the rumor is that some
people are being released into parks uh
uh in the middle of the night and
obviously it's so unbelievably in uh
cold out here. It's it's dangerous to be
outside especially without the proper
protection.
Like the reporter said, this is still
unverified at the moment. So we have to
report it as a rumor. But here's what we
do know. Ice has been known to crack
people's skulls. ICE agents brought this
man to the hospital 4 hours after his
arrest with lifethreatening fractures,
to which they say he was on the ground
in handcuffs when he attempted to flee
and then he purposefully ran head first
into a brick wall. Sure, that sounds
just like the man who was fighting them
to let him choke himself out. What we
know then is that ICE likes to injure
detainees and then lie and say they did
it to themselves. We also know that ICE
has been releasing detainees into the
cold with no phones, no clothes, and no
papers and no way to get home or
anywhere safe. They are openly pushing
people into the deadly cold temperatures
in broad daylight.
Do you know when they're going to let
them out?
We don't know when.
And they just show they just walk out.
They just drop them out. I'm looking for
somebody with a jail bag and then we go
and help out.
Do they even have the like it's freezing
today?
What I'm told is they've been taken that
no they don't have the right clothes. So
in some ways ICE should be thanking us
cuz that's like in another type of
murder. You know, throw them out in this
weather. You don't last very long. So um
but basically I'm told they've been
taking IDs if they're brown and then
also uh phones no matter what. Um so we
you know we try to get them burner
phones, things like that, get them a
ride, whatever they need. So
So what do you think of these tactics?
It's just it doesn't feel right, man. I
I don't how do you it I don't even want
to entertain an argument, you know? It's
just like
you think about these kind of two-way
fetish people. Here's your moment. This
isn't small government. I know that. So,
um it's just hard to stomach. That's
all. If it weren't for these volunteer
heroes out here saving people's lives,
they'd be wandering around in negative
degree weather with no protection.
Literally a death sentence. And we also
know that ICE has been routinely picking
up citizens, residents, offduty cops,
Native Americans. I mean, really, anyone
that they can get their hands on. And if
they find out that they are not allowed
to take you back to the camps, they just
dump you randomly on the side of the
road. Here's just one of the many
recorded incidents of this happening
over the last few weeks.
Bro,
way mirror.
So, we know that ice dumps people in
random remote locations. We know they
release people without phones or clothes
in the cold. And we know that they
severely injure people within hours of
their detention and then lie about it.
So, the rumor that they might have
severely injured a citizen or someone
else and then dumped them in the woods
at night in order to cover it up, Yeah.
That doesn't exactly seem too
far-fetched, does it? They don't care if
people die. Point period blank. That's
it. End of story. Here's reporting from
the Guardian that says 31 people have
died in ICE custody in 2025, making last
year the AY's deadliest year in more
than two decades. And 2026 is ramping up
to to blow 2025's numbers out of the
water. We have stories of what happens
inside of Whipple. We know how brutal
ICE is being in there. Here's a
firstirhand account from two citizens
who were detained but then released.
This reporting comes from Sahan Journal.
The headline is, "I heard screaming. I
heard crying inside ICE detention at the
Whipple building." Federal agents later
brought in a Hispanic man and his shirt
was ripped open after being arrested and
pushed into a car. He said another man
brought into his cell had a large cut on
his forehead after several agents
tackled and arrested him. He said
neither man was offered medical
assistance. Siguenzia said he eventually
asked federal agents about what they
were specifically looking for and they
responded with an offer in exchange for
money or legal protection for
undocumented people that he knew.
Federal agents told him that they wanted
names of protest organizers or other
undocumented people. It was a deal they
offered me. He said I was stunned. He
rejected their offer. While in
detention, O'Keefe said a few women were
eventually brought in. Two of them were
US citizens and former US Marines, she
said, and they were also arrested after
following federal agents. She saw one of
the women with a swollen arm, twisted
ankle, and sharp cuts from broken glass
on both arms from several agents pulling
her out of the car that day. In an
adjacent cell, O'Keefe said she heard
many women erupt in sobs at one point in
a different holding cell. And that isn't
just happening in Minnesota. It's
happening everywhere. The man who died
was detained in Camp East Montana in El
Paso, Texas. and it has been a crisis
there for a while now. Here's from
reporting from El Pais 50. Camp East
Montana, the largest migrant detention
center in the United States when at full
capacity, has become the epicenter of a
humanitarian crisis. This week, it was
revealed that a third detainee has died
in just 44 days at the hastily erected
tent complex operated by a private firm
with no prior experience in the field in
the desert surrounding the Fort Bliss
military base outside of El Paso. So,
these centers are so full and ICE is so
hungry to commit crimes against humanity
that they're taking all of that money
that the GOP just shoved through
Congress and turning literal warehouses
into concentration camps all around the
country. This reporting comes from KOSU,
the local NPR channel. Federal
authorities prepare to turn a warehouse
into immigration processing center in
Southwest OKC. We have a quote here from
state senator Michael Brooks who is
fighting this center in Oklahoma. He
said people in his neighborhood and
surrounding homeowners associations are
concerned about a half million square ft
warehouse being converted into a
detention facility. Everybody understood
that it was a place that was popular for
warehouses. He said, "I don't think
anyone ever considered the possibility
that those warehouses could be converted
into warehousing human beings instead of
boxes and materials. There are also
concerns about public health and
safety." Brook said the prospect of
potential health issues, the potential
for people being released from the
facility onto the streets without any
real access to public transportation to
be able to get where they need to go are
all great concerns that nobody discussed
at this point, he said. Brooks noted
that the facility was built for shipping
and logistics, not for housing people
for any amount of time. I have grave
concerns, he said. It's clear that this
is where we've always been headed. It's
not like the Nazis went straight to gas
chambers. It was a logistical solution
that they eventually came to. Now Trump
has effectively ended migration across
the border by making America worse to
live in than other home countries. So
he's hellbent on rounding up as many
people as possible with seemingly many
more millions of people to go. According
to this reporting from the New York
Times titled, "How many people has Trump
deported so far?" Almost all of Trump's
deportations have been from arrests
inside the country. And even still, he's
well behind other presidents because
nobody's coming across the border. So,
he's going to keep doubling down on
rounding people up in order to get his
deportation numbers up. But, we're
already at capacity. So there's
generally only one solution that tyrants
and dictators turn to when they have a
population in camps and they just don't
know how to get rid of them. We
genocided the Native Americans once in
this country. And folks, I fear that
this will quickly become one of the
darkest times in American history, if
it's not already. The internment camps
were so shameful that we taught it to
our children as one of the country's
greatest shames. I mean, I can't believe
that we're not far off from that reality
again. Subscribe to Really American for
the news that MAGA and ICE do not want
you to know about. I'm Tony Hinderman

NEW VIDEO JUST LEAKED

Transcript

All right, I got a lot of updates for
you. Um, there is now footage from the
woman who was in the pink jacket we all
saw in the background. That footage has
come out. I have that right here. Donald
Trump has responded to this. Jacob Fry
has responded to this. Greg Bovino has
given a really crazy press conference
and there's just a lot of reaction. So,
I'm going to bring you through all of
that right now.

First, I just want to
say that MAGA and the right, they're
trying to turn this into a he pulled his
gun on them sort of thing. I'm going to
show you that is not true. It's not
true. Now, I will also say this
footage is very very disturbing. I'm
sorry that we have to go through it, but
we must be aware of the truth.

All right. So, here this is from the woman
in the pink who is in the background.
Okay.
And then this guy right here, this is
the man who was executed by ICE.
Now, he was a 37y old and he was an
observer. He was an observer. The only
thing he had in his hand was a phone.
Go.

What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] is wrong
with you?

Okay, so you see there you see Ice.
Actually, let's just watch all and then
I'll go through it.

What the [ __ ] people? The [ __ ] is wrong
with you? Honestly,
What the [ __ ] did you just do?
What the [ __ ] did you just do?
What the [ __ ]
What the [ __ ]
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god. Oh my god.

All right. Well,
we're going to go through the tape, but
I first want to say I refuse to let
these [ __ ] break me. I am incredibly
disturbed by this. I find it very
upsetting. I refuse to let it break me.
I refuse to let it break me. I am going
to remain strong, unafraid,
and I'm going to continue to fight
against these [ __ ] thugs. Okay? These
are cowards. These are cowards.

Now, let's just go through this real fast
because this man,
by the way, Minneapolis
resident, American citizen who was
killed. You see Ice there push this
woman, who's an observer doing nothing
wrong, pushes her. She falls down, and then
this same ICE agent starts to
try to mace these two American citizens
who are peacefully observing, and that's
when
this 37-year-old who was killed was
trying to protect her. And then these ICE thugs just started to
wrestle him to the ground or no reason. And as
you can see, it's I mean, it's hard to
see, but I'll show you in a different clip that
he did not pull a weapon on
them. In fact, before he was shot, you
can see ICE take the weapon he had on
him off of him. But by the way, in
Minnesota, it's a conceal and carry
state, so he was completely within his
rights to have it.

This is another shot of the man that they have executed and
murdered. And this is a clip of the police
confirming a 37year-old white male was
killed by ICE. What I like is that Jacob
Frey got in front of all of this. He's
the mayor of Minneapolis. Before even
DHS or ICE or anyone else was able to
get their version of events, their lies
out there, he was out here saying things
like this.

I just saw a video of more than six
masked agents pummeling one of our
constituents and shooting him to death.
How many more residents, how many more
Americans need to die or get badly hurt
for this operation to end?
How many more lives need to be lost
before this administration realizes that
a political and partisan narrative is
not as important as American values?
How many times must local and national
leaders must plead with you, Donald
Trump, to end this operation and
recognize that this is not creating
safety in our city? As you'll hear from
Director Ser in just a second, we have
seen these kinds of operations in other
places in other countries, but not here
in America.

That's right. That's right. Minneapolis
has turned into a war zone, as you can
see from this footage here.
This is now what Minneapolis looks like.
Absolutely insane. Trump's America. This
is Trump's America. This is what he
wants.

Greg Bovino said this.

The suspect also had two loaded
magazines and no accessible ID.
This looks like a situation where an
individual wanted to do maximum damage
and massacre law enforcement.

Let's pull up that video again. Does this look like
someone who is trying to do maximal
damage? No. He was using his Second Amendment
right to have a firearm,
and he was not brandishing it. He was
not threatening people with it. He was
well within his rights. Are you telling
me that if an ICE agent assumes
that you want to do maximum damage, and
massacre them without any evidence, that
you're allowed to get executed on the
street? Is that what he's trying to tell
me?

Here's another vantage point.
as well, man.
I need scissors. I need someone to cut
this [ __ ]
One thing we'll know for sure is that
Donald Trump and his regime are going to
defend these people no matter what. No
matter what we saw, they're going to
defend them.

Now, the Tribune is reporting that ICE has transported and
detained witnesses. And as John
Favro says here, the feds are locking up
witnesses to a murder. That's where we
are right now. Fox News is defending it,
saying that they are literally forcing
the law. These are targeted
interactions. They are targeted
operations. They're simply doing their
jobs. This is what Fox News think is
their job. AOC said, "Americans are
being killed in the street by their
government. Our Constitution is being
shredded and our rights are dissolving.
Resist.

Senate Democrats should block
ICE funding this week. Gov. Walz, activate the
National Guard. You can call Senate
Democrats at 20224-3121
and you will get connected to a
congressional switchboard, and you can
you can call a Senate Democrat. If 10
Democrats vote against the funding
package that is being sent to them, then ICE
will not be renewed for funding. I think
that's pretty important right now. Tell your Senate Democrat that any
funding package that includes ICE should
and must be voted against. I think
that's important to do right now, and I
think we can do it.

Now, as I said, there is observations happening where
very important the man in the green
jacket walks up to the melee. He reaches
in, takes the gun from the man on the
ground, and calmly walks away with the
gun, Icebound. This is before the shots
were fired. So, this man in the green jacket sees the
gun, takes the gun,
and walks away with the gun. You can see
it right there. So, they murder this
man. They executed him on the street.

Border Patrol said that agents are
trained extremely well to protect
themselves, their fellow agents, and
innocent third parties. When a supposed
peaceful protester brings a weapon, such
as a loaded handgun, and brandishes it,
there are going to be severe
consequences.

And we saw the video that
did not [ __ ] happen. It didn't
happen.
They say they have
warned the media that politicians and
their irresponsible hate-filled false
rhetoric is going to get people
unnecessarily hurt, or worse killed, when
they portray our agents and officers, as
aggressors. I don't know how else
you are going to portray what we
saw. What else is that
other than aggressively killing someone
for no reason?

My background is an international
humanitarian response in conflict zones
in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and
Ukraine.
What I've seen here is what I have seen
there.
A powerful entity violently and
intentionally terrorizing people, making
them afraid to go outside so they can't
earn a living, so that kids are forced
out of school. This has a lasting
generational impact.
People can't plan a single day of their
lives because they don't know who was
around the corner and if their family
member or neighbor is about to be taken
away.
This is Nazi Germany.

Trump said this is the gunman's gun
loaded with two additional full
magazines ready to go. What is that all
about? Where are the local police?
Why weren't they allowed to protect ICE
officers? The mayor and the governor
called them off. It is stated that many
of these police were not allowed to do
their job. That ICE had to protect
themselves. Not an easy thing to do.

This is just insanity. I don't know. I guess I could
read all this, but it's just
more of the same. When is
enough enough?

I wrote this on Twitter and threads. I said, "If
Democrats are not willing and ready to
fight for us in this moment, in the way
that this moment requires, and
thank you for all the work you've done
up until this moment, we need you to
resign. We need you to step away, and we
need you to let leaders take control.
Thank you for your service. Move. Get
out of the way. We need real fighters
right now. We're literally dying on the
streets. We're dying on the streets by
the hands of our own government.
Who's fighting for us? Who's fighting
for us? It doesn't feel like anyone is.

NEW: ICE Footage ENDS Trump’s Term
Adam Mockler
Jan 24, 2026 The Adam Mockler Show



Transcript

All right, we have some disturbing news.
The entire Trump administration is going
allin on the narrative that the
37-year-old man who was murdered in
Minneapolis, Minnesota earlier today is
a "assassin" or a "domestic
terrorist" who was lunging at law
enforcement officers. Everyone from Pam
Bondi, who went on Fox News immediately
after and spun the narrative, to Steven
Miller, who said an assassin tried to
murder federal agents, all the way up to
Donald Trump himself, who just released
a long ranting letter about how this man
sort of deserved it. They victim blame
immediately, just like they did in the
case of Renee Nicole Good. And in this
scenario, what they are signaling to you
is that if you are a United States
citizen, and you are exercising both your
first amendment right to protest and
have free speech and your second
amendment right to carry a weapon
lawfully, then you can still be murdered
for having the wrong beliefs, and the
president will justify it.

Just so you know, all reporting points to this
37-year-old having a lawful weapon. We
even know more about him. This says,

"The man fatally shot by federal
officers in Minneapolis this morning has
been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti."

According to sources familiar with the
investigation, this is a name that you
will see alongside Renee Nicole Good on
many protests throughout the next few
weeks to months. Pretti, who was 37, has
an address listed in South Minneapolis.
He was a United States citizen and he
was legally protesting. At a news
conference, Minneapolis Police Chief
Brian O'Hara said the man who was shot
was a 37-year-old white man with no
serious criminal history and a record
that showed only some parking tickets.
Law enforcement sources said Saturday
their record showed Pretti had no
serious criminal history. That's where
you're missing something. Exercising
your first amendment right, your second
amendment right, AND being a liberal who
opposes ICE's occupation of Minneapolis
is enough of a crime, according to this
administration, to get you killed and
labeled a domestic terrorist, as we have
seen multiple times.

Now, O'Hara said the man was a "lawful gun owner
with a permit." Again, the police chief
of Minneapolis said the 37-year-old
victim was a lawful gun owner. Records
show that Pretti attended the University
of Minnesota. State records show Pretti
was issued a nurse license in 2021 and
it remains active through March of 2026.

We also have new video footage, a new
angle showing how absolutely sickening
this murder was, but we'll get there in
just one moment. I first want to show
you what Steven Miller said about the
37year-old nurse. He said, quote, "An
assassin tried to murder federal agents
and this is your response." And he was,
you know, quote, tweeting Senator Chris
Murphy who was laying up points about
how ICE needs to evacuate Minneapolis
and Congress needs to defund ICE, which
is very, very true. Steven Miller then
doubles down and says, quote,

"A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate
federal law enforcement, and this is
your response. You and the state's
entire Democrat leadership team have
been flaming the flames of an
insurrection for the singular purpose of
stopping the deportation of illegals who
invaded the country.

I just want you to
keep this twisted spin on events in your
mind when I show you this final version
of events. This final video, Steven
Miller will be more than happy to label
me, you, any American citizen, any
law-abiding human being a domestic
terrorist and assassin if they oppose
his sick, twisted ideology. A man was
quite literally murdered for simply
filming an ICE agent, which is very
legal and the Supreme Court has said
multiple times is a constitutional right,
to film law enforcement.

I mean, just to run you through the series of events and
then show you this video, you can back
up to the moment that this man was
confronted by federal enforcement. You
can see he's standing there peacefully
on the side of the road when one agent
is confronting him. Another agent hops
out of a vehicle and begins to walk up.
There are now two agents surrounding the
now deceased 37-year-old victim. You then
see more ICE agents hopping out of this
vehicle and walking up to him, but he
then gets pushed back by this ICE agent.
It's important to point out the ICE
agent is the one who escalates and lays
hands on the 37-year-old. If if anybody
pushed an ICE agent in this manner, they
would be immediately killed. And he
didn't. He didn't push the ice agent.
The ICE agent pushed him.

Then we jump over to the footage obtained by Drop
Site News of the entire event happening.
I'm going to walk you through exactly
what happens in this video footage, but
I'm not going to show the moment that
he's shot and killed because then
YouTube would derank this video and show
it to nobody. But if you want to help
boost the message, make sure you drop a
like and subscribe to the Adam Mockler feed
below.

What you're about to see is the
man, the 37-year-old nurse in the brown
jacket on screen, gets pepper sprayed, and
shoved to the ground by a violent ICE
agent. Then another ICE agent comes and
grabs the 37-year-old nurse's gun. And
then the 37-year-old gets shot multiple
times. When I play the video, you see an
ice agent right there shove this woman
to the ground. She falls over and Brian
goes, "Dude, what the hell?" He begins
to get aggressively pepper-sprayed by
this ice agent. Pepper sprayed even
further. He can't see. He gets shoved to
the ground. Then he gets pulled away
from the person he's trying to latch on
to and he gets shoved to the ground.

Now, I'm going to pause it here. I want
you to pay attention where my cursor is.
There is an ICE agent in a gray jacket.
The ICE agent in the gray jacket then
walks up and grabs the gun. He reaches
around and he grabs the gun out of the
37year-old nurse's waistband. He walks
away with the gun. Then the 37-year-old
is shot not once, not twice, but about
six times while he's laying there
motionless, pinned down. This is
absolutely unequivocally an execution.
There is no way to spin it otherwise
unless you are the deranged president of
the United States and Steven Miller and
Pam Bondi.

Let's start off with Trump's
post. His is easily debunkable. He
pivots and tries to obfuscate by saying
this is the gunman's gun loaded.
And you see he posts a photo of the gun.
He says with two additional full
magazines and ready to go.

What is that
all about? You want to know what it's
about? He is a lawful carrying US
citizen who is peacefully standing
there.

TRUMP: Where are the local police? Why
weren't they allowed to protect ICE
officers? The mayor and the governor
called them off.

That is not true.

TRUMP: It is stated that many of these police were
not allowed to do their job. That ICE
had to protect themselves. Not an easy
thing to do. Why does Ilhan Omar have
$34 million in her account? Where are
the tens of billions of dollars?

Notice the complete non sequitur Donald Trump
just completely pivoted trying to direct
our attention on something else like
it's slight of hand. His old magic
tricks of media attention don't work
anymore when we have videos of this
event taking place. Steven Miller trying
to spin this, calling this man a
domestic terrorist, trying to assassinate
federal law enforcement. Dude, he was
pinned to the ground. We have video that
shows he's not trying to assassinate
anybody. He's literally trying to
protect and help people as he's being
pepper-sprayed.

I think one of the most sickening things was Pam Bondi's spin on
Fox News that happened right after the
shooting. Take a listen.

This has
been hard to watch for everyone
involved. Let me just get your
initial thoughts of what's happened here
in Minneapolis in the last couple of
hours.

BONDI: Well, why this has happened in
Minneapolis is because you have a mayor,
you have a governor who has declared
Minneapolis a sanctuary city, saying,
"Bring your worst of the worst to
Minneapolis. You're invited here. We
will protect you." Aisha, these are the
arrests. These are just the arrest.

Dude, nobody has said bring the worst of
the worst to Minneapolis other than
Donald Trump himself. There is a strong
Somali community in Minneapolis that
contributes and that is loved. Donald
Trump is trying to terrorize them. Pam
Bondi is trying to pin this on them, but
the worst of the worst are actually the
radicalized far-right ICE agents that
are going in with masks and just
murdering people. Let's continue.

BONDI: That ICE has been making. And that's why
Donald Trump has ICE in Minneapolis to
protect the citizens. Sodomy of a boy,
strong armed robbery, sexual assault,
sodomy of a girl under the age of 16,
rape, 12-year-old girl, strongarm rape,
a assault, convicted rape, child
fondling. These are all the illegals
that Joe Biden was letting into our
country. And they were all going to
Minneapolis because the mayor, the
governor, the AG, they were protecting
them.

Nobody is protecting people who
have committed child sodomy other than
maybe Donald Trump with the Epstein
files, but nobody is defending that. If
ICE was just deporting the people on
this list, nobody would care. Deport
those people 10 times over. I don't give
a [ __ ] Nobody cares. But that is not
what's happening. ICE has harmed more US
citizens and more US children at this
point than protected US children via
deportations. And we know that because
we've seen 5-year-olds get detained.
We've seen six-month-old babies have to
be resuscitated after getting caught up
in tear gas because ICE is shooting it
around indiscriminately.

The biggest defeater for her argument is that
President Obama was known as the deporter
in chief. He did deport a lot of
people. That is just a fact. But even
under President Obama, ICE was not
murdering US citizens, breaking their
ribs, having six-month old babies need
to be resuscitated, and having literally
hundreds and hundreds of videos of ICE
squads and goons pinning US citizens to
the ground. This is some next level
disgusting, disturbing stuff, and every
single video angle that comes out makes
it worse and worse. Pam Bondi then
doubles down on the spin in the funniest
way possible. She talks about how the
protesters are all organized. They're
organizing their signs. She's implying
all of the signs that say [ __ ] ICE.
These are all It's some nefarious plot.
Is she really that dumb? She can't
realize that protesters maybe all just
think [ __ ] ICE. That is genuinely what
the protesters think on mass. But boy,
this entire administration is all in on
the cover up. I mean, we know that Pam
Bondi is more than okay with covering up
Donald Trump's deepest, darkest crimes.
The Epstein files cover-up proved that.
But this is next level. Everyone from
Steven Miller to Pam Bondi to Trump. I'm
sure Caroline Leavitt on Monday morning
right on Q will be covering this up and
spinning this to death. They are all
down to cover up legit murders, state
murders, executions from the state.

Some of the people that you arrested,
like you mentioned in the last couple of
days, you feel it was incredibly
organized. What can you tell us more
about what we're seeing on the ground
there?

I mean, our Steve Harriman, you
know, who's covered many wars, said that
in his own observations, it feels
incredibly organized. These people
know each other. They know where to go.
What do you know about this?

BONDI: That's right. And I can tell you
what I observed when I was there. It's
extremely organized. The signs they
have are all matching. They're well
written. And look at what's happening
today. How did these people go out and
get gas masks? These protesters, would
you know how to walk out on the street
and buy a gas mask right now? Think
about that, right? All of these
protesters out there right now have gas
masks on. Matching very expensive, by
the way Gas mask.

This is all so absurd. This is
conspiracy theory QAnon slop. First of
all, the reason why the protesters know
where to go and know what to do is
because they live there. The ICE agents
don't. They are coming from out of state
and out of town. So, they're the ones
confused and they're like, "Huh, why do
these protesters all know these
streets?" Secondly, anyone can go buy a
gas mask. It's not some military-rated gear.
You can literally get a gas mask from
many, many shops. And the reason why so
many protesters have them, not all the
protesters like she claims, probably
like 4% of protesters have gas masks, is
because for the past three or four
weeks, protests, continuous protests
have been escalating. And ICE agents
have been throwing more and more tear
gas and pepper balls and pepper spray.
The gas masks are a necessity born out
of the violence from ICE agents, not
some proactive protection that they were
just buying from some secret military
dealer. I don't know what she's even
implying here. This is QAnon conspiracy
theories stuff making it onto Fox News
as usual.

BONDI: It's organized. They're out there to
cause problems, and they're out there to
hinder the great men and women in law
enforcement and we are not going to have
it in Minneapolis or anywhere else in
this country.

I mean, the video I showed you earlier
proved it. This was not somebody trying
to impede law enforcement. He was a
concerned US citizen who was exercising
his first amendment right and his second
amendment right. For that, he was
murdered by ICE on the street in cold
blood in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The protests are not going to die down. They
are going to grow larger and we will
continue to cover it. I love you all.
I'll see you in the next video. Stay
safe, stay warm, and peace

DHS Guns Down Minneapolis Nurse, New Footage Analyzed
Drop Site News
Jan 24, 2026

Ryan Grim, Meghnad Bose, and Rana Roudi discuss the killing of Alex Pretti. The Drop Site team analyzes the available footage and examines the implications of what it shows.



Transcript

Okay, we are here with continuing
coverage of the execution of Alex Prey
in Minneapolis. We're going to go
through the video that Dropsite obtained
that shows the leadup to and the
finishing of the event that led to his
murder. But I want to start with the
statement from DHS because I think it's
important to contrast what the
government claimed
was said about this killing with what
actually happened on the scene. And
we're going to go kind of frame by frame
and we're going to look very closely at
what precisely happened. But this is
DHS. The officers attempted to disarm
the suspect, but the armed suspect
violently resisted. More details on the
arm struggle are forthcoming. Fearing
for his life and the lives and safety of
fellow officers, an agent fired
defensive shots. Medics on scene
immediately delivered medical care to
the subject, but was pronounced dead at
the scene. The suspect also had two
magazines and no ID. This looks like a
situation where an individual wanted to
do maximum damage and massacre law
enforcement. So, that is the claim put
forward by DHS. to walk through what
exactly happened. I'm going to be joined
by two drop site uh contributors, Magnad
Bose and Rana Rudy, both of whom have
been going through the video that we
obtained from the scene. Uh Magnad and
Rana, thanks so much for for doing this.
Thank you for having us here, Ryan.
Thank you.
Yeah. So, and so Magnad, um let's kind
of let's throw throw to the first video
and walk us through kind of what you and
Rana see developing here on the scene.
Right. Um, so this is a video that was
obtained by drop site earlier today,
hours after um the the shooting of Alex
Freddy took place by federal agents.
This is Alex Freddy on your screen um
who's just had that green box around him
and in a short while from now we'll see.
So Alex right now is just waving a car
on by and he's observing what's taking
place, right? Um
These are federal agents on the ground.
Now, they throw federal agents throw a
woman um down
onto the ice bank on the street. And you
saw that in slow-mo. And you see Alex
now going to help the woman. And we'll
see that bit again in slow motion very
shortly. Um this is the slow motion bit.
Now you see an agent there.
spray a chemical irritant at straight at
Alex's face. And by the way, there's a
court order, a federal court order that
that's asked them not to do that again.
Uh spray with a chemical irritant again.
There's a federal court order that says
peaceful protesters should not be
dispersed with chemical irritants, tear
gas, etc. An order from just a few days
ago, but they've been violating federal
agents in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
So now he's now he's trying to help this
woman up.
Yeah.
And they're pulling him off of her.
Correct. They're pulling him off of her.
And now you will see them try to pin
Alex Freddy down on the ground. Multiple
agents. There are at least six agents
surrounding him. At one point, the point
that the officer pulls out his gun from
the holster. There are at least four
agents
right there. Right there right there.
And we're going to see it in slow-mo. In
just a bit, the officer is going to
um pull out the gun.
And you see multiple agents there, four
agents. And that's the moment that the
officer uh the federal agent has hand on
the holster.
He's clearly no threat here. Like he he
has four at least four agents pinning
him down.
Yeah. And two more around him. And these
are the gunshots. [screaming]
And his elbows, you can see on the
ground. You can't have your elbows on
the ground and be reaching for a weapon,
which has already been taken from you,
by the way, which we'll see soon.
And and look at where the gunshots when
the gunshots take place. And you can see
it's that agent firing the initial gun.
Look how far away they are from. You can
just pause the video here for a second.
The Alex Freddy is lying still on the
ground. And if we can go back to that
moment, you'll see Alex Freddy is lying
incapacitated on the ground. There have
already been six shots fired at him.
The agents are clearly a few feet away
from him. He's lying on the ground and
they proceed to shoot him an additional
four times. Yeah. And this is what the
DHS and the White House earlier today
have referred to as uh defensive shots.
Right.
defensive shots.
Um,
Rana, did anything jump out at you at
that one? In that one?
No, I I I mean, I think it's clear in
our analysis, something we noticed was
he he was constantly trying to defend
himself when he was being sprayed. He
was holding up his arm and pulled back
and sprayed further. And again, as
Magnad pointed out, he's lying on the
ground and they continue to shoot at
him. So it's it's quite shocking to
watch especially in slow motion.
Yeah. Let's play that. Yeah. So Iran, if
we can just play that bit to to
illustrate the point about the about the
gunshots. Um so this is in slow motion
the gunshots. You can see here if you
pause you can even see the the gun on
the agent. Um
right here. One second. Let me play that
one more time.
Okay, so that's the agent takes out the
gun. That's gunshot one. That's gunshot
two. And we're going to slow that down
and play it for you one more time. Um,
and this is the slow-mo version, right?
So, you can see gunshot one.
And there you see the gun here in his in
his hand right here. And they're firing
from close distance, but even now
they've they've they've sort of seized
him already,
right? But three, four, five gunshots.
Five happened when uh the camera was
when the when the woman in pink was
running away. And now look at how far
they are when they fire these four
shots.
Mhm.
He's still on the ground lifeless. And
they keep firing at him.
Yep.
Yeah. Um let's watch from another angle.
Um because the you you're starting to
have fewer people defend, but you had
you've had Steven Miller say that he was
attacking them and trying to kill them.
Um you've had JD Vance share Steven
Miller's argument that uh that he was
that basically they're calling him a
mass shooter. Um when in fact for no
reason a immigration official shoved a
woman onto the ground. He went to help
her and then they were both sprayed.
Then he's thrown to the ground. They
struggle with him. Take it take his
firearm and then after they do that kill
him. Um so let's let's sync it up with
another angle.
Too much man. And they keep pushing
people. You know
the [ __ ] people. The [ __ ] is wrong with
you? Honestly,
[music]
[music]
hitting him there.
Oh [ __ ] What the [ __ ]
They killed him.
Did they [ __ ] kill that guy? Are you
[ __ ] kidding me, dude?
What the [ __ ]
Not again. Are you [ __ ] kidding me?
That guy's dead.
Yo, we need people on
and now even as this was taking place, I
mean you Ryan, you read out the the
statement by the DHS. They said um
medics on scene immediately delivered
medical aid. If we can go back to the
first video, we can show you that we
counted there were at least 26 seconds
after shooting those 10 gunshots that
even the first federal agent even
approached Alex Freddy's body. So 26
seconds, they're not even getting to
him. And this is something we saw
earlier this month on 7th of January
when Renee Nicole Good was shot by
Jonathan Ross. there was a physician,
someone claiming to be a physician who
was on site who was refused to even go
and check on um on good um and and they
were blocking off access for others. So
even in this case, 26 seconds before a
single federal agent went up to the man.
That's the reality that the visuals tell
us. And then on the other hand, we have
the White House and the DHS saying
medics on scene immediately delivered
medical aid. They weren't even going to
check his pulse.
Right. Right. And do we have do we have
a look at the the man that was running
toward us in that footage? He's the
agent who disarmed
Alex and he he's the one you can as you
you can see him he has the gun in his
right hand and after he has the gun in
his hand is when the bul is when the
shooting starts. Um do we have do we
have what's the third one that you have?
Yeah. The the the third one that they
keep pushing people we have a part of it
slowed down and you can see that just
two things. One is that they're
completely in control of him,
right?
And two, look, you see this and it's
we're going to slow it down for you.
You're going to see a federal agent hit
Alex Prey thrice. Look, that's slow down
for you. Notice the agent in the green
box. One,
two,
and three. And so four to six
Yeah. And then that guy has the gun.
This this guy running at us has the gun.
Yeah.
Four to six bulky well-built uh men
holding down a 37year-old US citizen,
registered nurse.
Yeah.
And then and then agent, one agent or
more proceeding to fire what seemed like
10 different gunshots. several of them
from a distance away at a lifeless
seemingly lifeless body. I mean, if that
is a disproportionate use of force and
if that is defined as defensive, I don't
know what in the world can be defined as
an aggressive or disproportionate um
use,
right? And we know we we know that the
Second Amendment because we've been told
for my entire life that the Second
Amendment allows Americans to keep and
bear arms. Uh Minneapolis is
part of the United States. Supreme Court
rulings have made it so that concealed
carry is legal pretty much all over the
country. Um,
if you are if you tackle
50 men in Minnesota, a significant
number of those are going to be armed.
Uh, the government has been using the
fact that he was armed as the reason uh
that he was killed. uh which is it's
it's striking to see, you know, since uh
the Sandy Hook massacre, Democrats have
been trying to implement some form of uh
gun reform, gun control, and have been
pushed back at at every moment. Um
now to see possession of a firearm being
used to justify federal agents killing
someone in the streets is
an an incredible turnaround. Uh what do
we know about uh Alex? Um I know that
you've been doing some some reporting on
on who he is and I I mentioned he was a
registered nurse. Can you talk a little
bit about um either Rana or or Magnad
who you know who he was and what we know
about him?
Yeah, we know from from what the
Minneapolis authorities have said
initially they came out and said, "Look,
this is a 37year-old
white male." We didn't have his name at
the time, a 37y old white male, and the
authorities believed him to be a US
citizen. Since then, those details have
been confirmed, right? Um, and so it's
the second killing of a US citizen in
the same city of Minneapolis in just a
space of weeks. Less than three weeks.
Yeah. And so, Alex Prey, uh, also you
mentioned guns. Uh,
actually two weeks. It was January 7th.
Seventh. So, yeah, less than three. And
um and you me you mentioned guns. Again,
the Minneapolis um city authorities have
have said that he was legally uh he had
a legal permit um to carry a gun. And
like you said, it's not illegal to do
that in Minnesota or elsewhere um in the
United States. And also like we we see
that there's a level of maligning and
slander of like the victims of these of
these incidents even before the first
thing of an investigation has happened.
So when when it was Renee Colg good, the
administration came out and tried to
call her a domestic terrorist and say
that she was running over an agent who
who was battling for his life. Whereas
we could see in videos that not only was
he not battling for his life, he was
walking just fine. In fact, calling her,
pardon my French, a [ __ ] [ __ ] right
after um shooting um uh good. And and
today we we've seen a similar thing play
out when when the DHS and the White
House has been sharing that statement
too. They've they've said that he was uh
where an individual wanted to do maximum
damage and massacre law enforcement.
That is that is an enormous statement to
make without any investigation
whatsoever by the folks who are supposed
to be doing that investigation. Right.
And what we and what we know and Rand,
let me know if you have anything to add
to this. Um he he was a nurse at uh the
for the veterans affairs at at an ICU.
Um so this is somebody, you know, who
was working, you know, with veterans who
are at their most vulnerable moments. Um
people have described him as the kind of
person who was always just trying to
look for some way to help. Um, he died
defending a woman who had been
needlessly and ruthlessly shoved into a
snowbank
by a federal agent who was just angry at
them for for filming. Um, he at one
point he had his camera out as well. And
maybe uh we'll get his footage at some
point, but it will be chaos, I'm sure.
like um anything else that you guys want
to add before we wrap this segment?
Ra,
nothing for me. I I think the footage is
quite telling.
Yeah.
Yeah. And and yeah, you I mean you
mentioned that like I mean he he
attended nursing school at the
University of Minnesota. um the chief of
infectious diseases um at a hospital and
and professor of medicine at the
University of Minnesota who worked with
Prey uh described him as by saying he
wanted to help people. He was a super
nice, super helpful guy, looked after
his patients.
Um and and he's been described as an
outstanding nurse and a hard worker. And
honestly, like even if he wasn't a hard
worker, even if he wasn't outstanding at
what he did, he didn't deserve to be to
be killed in this manner. let alone even
the semblance of a fair investigation
happening before that to to be slandered
as someone right in the moments after
his death as someone who allegedly
wanted to massacre law enforcement. And
I think the final thing I wanted to say
was that I think this and the killing of
Renee Nicolood raises very important
questions on how states might want to
attempt to prosecute um these
individuals when they are clearly
violating laws in in their states. Um,
and I think we're seeing uh the FBI
investigation or the federal
investigation into good sort of looking
more at Good's partner um and instead of
into Jonathan Ross and you wouldn't want
a similar situation to play out in this
case. Sure, the federal administration
might do that, but what does the city
administration or the state
administration do from here? Uh I think
is an important question that we should
be watching out for. What we're hearing
is that DHS is saying that they're going
to handle this investigation uh rather
than the FBI. Uh the DHS has already
effectively cleared him publicly. So, um
unfortunately, I don't think we're going
to have to wait to see how that
investigation turns out. But you're
right. Uh in Minnesota has not given up.
Um people are now barricading uh the
streets. Uh, and the situation is
extraordinarily tense and and we'll
continue watching it as it as it unfolds
because um this this could this could
turn darker.
Both of us Yeah. And both of us both
Rana and myself were in Minnesota in
Minneapolis reporting in the days
following um the shooting of of Renee
Good and and we saw I mean Rana if you
want to describe that we we saw like
absolute terror on the streets.
Immigrants terrified of venturing out of
their homes and for what?
Yeah. No, absolutely. We saw empty
stores, empty malls, restaurants locked
up. People who were in the streets were
looking beyond their shoulder to make
sure no one was following. It's just a
very, very chilled element of fear out
there. So,
well, thank you both for your reporting
and analysis. Very much appreciate it.
Thank you, Ryan.
Thank you.

Pam Bondi’s LEAKED LETTER Reveals CHILLING THREAT
by Adam Mockler
Jan 24, 2026



Transcript

All right, we have some stunning
breaking news that is derived from a
demand letter written by Attorney
General Pam Bondi and sent to Minnesota
Governor Tim Walls only hours after the
execution of US citizen Alex Prey. Now,
what is inside this letter is beyond
parody. I can't even say it without it
sounding like a super villain movie
script, but I'm just going to say it.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Donald
Trump are trying to use the execution of
Alex Prey, which they caused. They are
trying to use this execution to gain
leverage over the state of Minnesota by
saying that they will continue to surge
troops unless the state of Minnesota
gives them access to their voter data
roles, which could help them rig the
2026 midterms, rig the 2028 election and
beyond. I want to point out before we
even jump in, Trump has tried to
pressure Republican lawmakers already in
multiple states to redraw congressional
maps mid decade in order to rig the
midterms. He's tried to end mail-in
voting nationwide even though he's used
mail-in voting because he wants to rig
the midterms. He's been escalating
attacks on voting machines, even though
these voting machines have been proven
to be safe. And Pam Bondi's Justice
Department has already demanded voter
roles from at least 40 different states.
There were a bunch of complaints that
the administration was trying to get
sensitive personal data like social
security numbers, home addresses,
birthdays, all for election purposes or
election rigging purposes. It's also
worth pointing out Trump has staffed his
key agencies like FEMA, the FBI,
Homeland Security, and the DOJ with
election deniers who will ride or die
with him until the very end. I want to
show you this letter that was written
and signed at the bottom by Attorney
General Pam Bondi in just one second
because even Matt McDermott, who
reported on it, said, quote, "As insane
as this sounds, it's true. Pam Bondi
sent Minnesota officials a letter today
saying ICE would leave the state if
Minnesota turns over its voter files to
the Trump administration. They're openly
using state violence as a bargaining
chip to seize election infrastructure."
Before we even jump into that, make sure
you drop a like and subscribe to help
boost the truth and boost this message
that independent media is bringing you.
I want to back up very quickly and have
a moment just for Alex Prey. His family
wrote a message that mentions the
administration and mentions Alex's
personality. I think it's worth taking a
moment right here. Quote, "We are very
heartbroken, but also very angry," says
the family of 37year-old nurse Alexy.
Alex was a kind-hearted soul who cared
deeply for his family and friends and
also the American veterans whom he cared
for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis
VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a
difference in this world. Unfortunately,
he will not be with us to see his
impact. I do not throw around the hero
term lightly. However, his last thought
and act was to protect a woman. I know
watching the video must have been tragic
and heartbreaking, but I'm at least
happy that they saw that his last
moments were him trying to protect a
woman who was being abused and bullied
by ICE agents. Obviously, the video is
tragic and nobody should have to see
their son being slain by ICE agents, but
I'm glad that they saw that he was
protecting people and being a hero. They
then say, "The sickening lies told about
our son by the administration are
reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is
clearly not holding a gun when attacked
by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE
thugs. He had his phone in his right
hand and his empty left hand is raised
above his head while trying to protect
the woman Ice just pushed down all while
being pepper-sprayed. Please get the
truth out about our son. He was a good
man. We will get the truth out. One of
his co-workers at the VA hospital said
uh for her part, she said it speaks to
Freddy's character that he would stand
up for his neighbors in Minneapolis.
Quote, "You could not think of a kinder,
gentler, sweeter person." She said, "But
I could see that, you know, he was
probably trying to diffuse the situation
or defend somebody or protect somebody
or had run up because of his nursing
nursing role." She said, "And he was a
very principled person and very
righteous." She continued, "Knowing
Alex, I know there's no way he would
have provoked or done anything to bring
this on. The last time she saw him," she
said, "was last year. He was very happy.
He'd been going along in his nursing
career, and he was feeling like things
were falling into place. This makes it
especially sad, especially
heartbreaking. His life was just
beginning." That is incredibly
heartbreaking. And then, okay, then Pam
Bondi and Donald Trump use this as an
opportunity to try to rig the midterm
elections. One more time. As insane as
it sounds, Pam Bondi sent Minnesota
officials a letter today saying ICE
would leave the state if Minnesota turns
over its voter roles to the Trump
administration. Let's go to page two of
this where she says, second, this is her
second demand. Repeal the sanctuary
policies that have led to so much crime
and violence in your state. Removing
criminal illegal aliens from Minnesota
neighborhoods will save lives, and state
and local officials should support this
goal. I mean, it's only cost lives thus
far, specifically two lives over the
past 3 weeks. The letter continues, "All
detention facilities in your state
should cooperate fully with ICE, honor
immigration detainers, and permit ICE to
interview detainees in custody to
determine immigration status. I urge you
to reach an agreement with ICE that
allows them to remove illegal aliens in
custody of Minnesota's prisons and
jails." She then writes, "Third," allow
the Civil Rights Division of the
Department of Justice to access voter
roles to confirm that Minnesota's voter
registration practices comply with
federal law as authorized by the Civil
Rights Act of 1960. Wow. Fulfilling this
common sense request will better
guarantee free and fair elections and
boost confidence in the rule of law.
Yeah, I'm sure Pam Bondi who immediately
in the aftermath of the shooting of
Renee Nicole Good came out and said
Renee was a domestic terrorist who
immediately in the aftermath of the
Epstein files voting came out and said
Trump has nothing to do with Epstein.
They never even met the guy. Who
immediately in the aftermath of this
came out and said that Alex Prey was a
domestic terrorist. I am sure we can
trust you Pam Bondi with election
integrity. Senator Chris Murphy of
Connecticut, who broke this news, said
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to
Minnesota officials saying ICE will
leave if the state turns over its voter
database. He breaks it down.
By now, you've seen this horrific video,
another individual killed in Minnesota.
Um, it's just [ __ ] awful the
inhumanity of this. Um, we cannot fund
uh ICE as it is constituted today. But
we found out something else really
important today. Pam Bondi sent a letter
to state officials in Minnesota in which
she made a list of demands
for ICE to leave Minneapolis. And one of
those demands was that the state turn
over its voter roles to the federal
government. This has never been about
public safety. Minneapolis is a much
less safe place today because ICE is
there. This is likely about trying to
rig and steal the election. Donald Trump
is wildly unpopular. He is not committed
to democracy. And he knows the only way
that his movement is to retain power,
the only way that his corporate allies
retain power, his billionaire allies
retain power this November is for Trump
to steal the election.
He is working to steal the election. So
just to explain, turning over voter
roles to the federal government. So if
the state of Minnesota did turn turn
over the voter roles, what does this
mean? It would have serious serious
implications to election integrity and
civil liberties within the state that
turned over the voter roles because they
contain sensitive personal information
like I mentioned earlier, social
security numbers, names, addresses. And
when that data is centralized and then
shared with the DOJ, they can
selectively purge those voter roles by
very very intentionally highlighting
quote unquote irregularities
only in blue areas, hyperfixating in a
surgical manner on blue areas to
highlight just normal routine clerical
errors that could be normally fixed with
a phone call, but doing it in such a
quiet manner where they're able to purge
the voter roles. They do this to
disproportionately affect young voters,
lowincome voters, people who move
frequently, voters of color that tend to
vote blue in order to rig elections.
We've seen it time and time again.
And so he's saying to Minneapolis, um,
if you don't give me control of the
voter roles, then ICE isn't leaving. And
you can see that if he gets away with it
in Minnesota, he's likely going to try
it in places like Philadelphia and
Phoenix, uh, other key cities in swing
states. So, understand why it's so
important for us to draw a line. I have
been arguing, uh, all weekend that
the Senate should not pass funding for
the Department of Homeland Security
first and foremost because this is a
rogue agency. Finally, sorry to cut him
off, but finally, Democrats are uniting
on this issue. And Senator Chuck
Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader,
came out and said Democrats are going to
block the funding and stop this
appropriations bill from passing so ICE
cannot get funding. I I explained this
in a video earlier. Make sure you
subscribe for more. At a time when this
administration is attacking the press
because the press provides transparency,
they attack colleges because colleges
create critical thinking citizens.
They're attacking protesters because
protesters provide accountability. We
are the variable they did not consider.
Don Lemon had a had a runin with the DOJ
recently, but we are still cooking video
after video, making sure we bring you
the news and the truth. So, subscribe if
you appreciate that. I love you all.
He's out.

Detainees REVOLT In Trump's Camp For Children
Really American and U.S. Democratic Socialists
Jan 24, 2026

Really American host Tony Hinderman breaks down Lawyer Eric Lee gives insight into a protest erupting inside of the Dilley Family Detention Center run by ICE and CoreCivic



Transcript

Where the camera?
I'm outside.
I'm outside.
While Minneapolis erupts in protest
after the murder of another innocent
citizen at the hands of ICE, word has
spread to the inside of ICE detention
centers where detainees are protesting
against their deplorable conditions. We
only know this because a lawyer who was
inside the facility was suddenly kicked
out, but managed to take some video from
outside before being removed by
security. This all kicked off at Dilly
Family Detention Center because this is
where that 5-year-old who was recently
kidnapped and used as bait, this is
where him and his father were taken. A
jail for children that the Republicans
are so proud of that the only inside
footage we're allowed to see is filmed
by a visiting MAGA stoogge as
propaganda. There is so much to be angry
about today, folks. But given the fact
that this story is likely to be
overshadowed, I wanted to make sure that
you all hear about it. Be sure you're
subscribed to Really American for more
news that the mainstream media will not
show you. I'm outside of uh the Dilly
facility here in uh South Texas. There's
a demonstration of detainees taking
place inside right now. We were all
asked to leave. There's a drone flying
up ahead right now. Uh it's an extremely
bizarre situation. You can hear them
shouting.
Can you hear that?
They're shouting, "Let us out. Let us
out."
There's people in blue shirts again.
There's drones flying up ahead.
There appear to be hundreds of people
through the crack that I can see. And
again, I was here for an attorney visit
and they asked me to leave abruptly
without telling me why. ordering people
who were waiting to stand outside in the
in the cold and uh I'll try and keep you
updated as to what is happening.
This was filmed by attorney Eric Lee,
who seems to be the only one able to
document the situation before ICE locked
the whole area down. He managed to take
another video of the apparent
demonstration that is happening inside
before he was confronted by security.
Get away your camera.
I'm outside.
I'm outside. It doesn't say out here
now.
And I've just been ordered to leave the
premises. I've just been ordered to
leave the premises and she's yelling at
me right now. So, I'm going to head back
to my car and try and keep you a breast
of the situation. I've just left the
Dilly uh family detention center. Um,
and I've spoken to a number of the
people who are presently in the facility
and can provide a bit more information.
Apparently, this demonstration presently
comprises of about 80% of the detained
population. Over a thousand people, I am
told um by people at the facility are
participating presently in the protest.
Guards are trying to physically block
people from protesting, from joining the
protest. They have closed off a gate
between two separate parts of the
facility to prevent another section of
the detention center from joining the
protest. Up along the highway and on the
roads, you can still see ICE, CBP, and
county sheriff's vehicles uh traveling
to this. I haven't tried to go back uh
in because they told me that my attorney
client visit that was scheduled for
today has been cancelled and that I'm
not allowed to go back into the facility
to speak to them. Apparently, the
protest was initiated over the treatment
of the 5-year-old who is still at the
facility, I am told, um from Minneapolis
and that the detainees got word of the
size of the demonstration in Minneapolis
on Friday. Somehow because the day after
the Renee Good shooting, ICE shut off
the internet at the facility without
explanation. Now, we know the reason
why. When the detainees today and yet in
recent days found out about the protest
on Min the general strike in Minneapolis
on Friday, they apparently decided that
they wanted to join the protest. They
were shouting libertad. They were
shouting let us out. Uh and this is
still an ongoing situation. So, uh the
local news in San Antonio, please get
down to Dilly. Please start reporting on
this. There's there's a potential police
crackdown taking place. I can't there.
All I know is that there are a lot of
people protesting and a lot of people uh
who are uh a lot of police and and ICE
vehicles rushing to the area. Hopefully,
there's not some type of violent
confrontation.
This attorney, Eric Lee, was there
representing his clients, the family of
a man who committed a heinous hate crime
last year and murdered a woman in a
brutal fire attack. Last summer,
Christine Gnome took the opportunity to
round up this man's entire family
because that's how justice works, right?
We'll jail you until we can prove that
you're innocent. This is what Ice Barbie
said back in June of last year. We are
investigating to what extent his family
knew about this heinous attack, if they
had knowledge of it or if they provided
support to it. Cut to January of this
year. It has been 7 months and the
children and wife of this man are still
in jail paying for his crimes. Now, you
might think that 7 months should be
enough time to investigate and figure
out if the man's family were involved.
And you'd be right. In the court case
against Muhammad Solomon, a FBI agent
was asked by an attorney. They the
family had no inkling at all that he was
planning to do this or even thinking
about doing anything like this. "That's
correct," replied an FBI agent
identified only as Chan. "So, the
government knows that the family are not
accessories to his crimes and they're
innocent of wrongdoing, but they're
still being punished." Now, MAGA might
say, "Well, they're still here
illegally, so they're being kept." But
that isn't true either. As the family
has remained in ICE custody, there have
been court appearances before an
immigration judge. In September, a judge
ordered the family released on bond,
awaiting further proceedings. The judge
deemed that the mother and children are
neither a flight risk or a danger to the
community. ICE has appealed and refused
to release the family while they appeal.
Of course, ICE is ignoring court orders
because they've decided that they're
above the law. Meanwhile, the family is
being held in deplorable conditions at
this Dilly facility. This is a statement
that was provided by their lawyer.
Yesterday, a Department of Homeland
Security official denied claims made by
Haim Elgamal about the horrific
conditions she and her five children,
ages 18, 15, 7, and two four year olds,
have been living under at the Dilly
Family Detention Center, where they've
been held for more than 2 weeks. This
was back in June, 2 weeks after the
original arrest. DHS called their
allegations false and insisted that the
ICE facilities are safe, humane, and
closely monitored. But that very same
day, attorneys working on a separate
lawsuit confirmed exactly what Miss
Elgamal has been saying and more. Court
documents reveal that kids in Dilly are
being kept in cold, cramped spaces
without toys, books, or even basic
education. There's no in-person
visitations. Children say they feel
trapped, scared, and depressed. Many are
getting sick from the food and water.
Some, like a baby who has lost nearly 9
lbs in one month and are clearly not
getting proper nutrition. Others,
including children with cancer or cystic
fibrosis, are missing lifesaving medical
care. Here's reporting of another
person's experience inside of Dilly. She
said, "I was desperate to get out of
there because truly being there was a
nightmare." Miss Dilla said of her time
in Dilly, decrying the prison-like
conditions for women and children who
went there seeking asylum. And this
statement from somebody who was kept
there in these cruel conditions sort of
proves that the cruelty is part of the
design. It's there to make it so bad
that these people are begging to be
deported. This coincides with reports
about conditions in other Texas
facilities, including the one where ICE
recently murdered a man. Immigration
attorneys are confirming that this is
the case from their clients being kept
in Camp East Montana as well as Dilly.
Here's from an attorney, Veronica
Escobar. A number of the female
detainees at Camp East Montana,
including those awaiting from hearings,
told me as much. They just want to get
out of the US and are literally begging
to be deported after being held there
for months and feeling utterly hopeless
and traumatized. Even Eric Lee, who is
the same attorney for Ham Elgamal and
her family, he has clients kept in Camp
East Montana who are confirming that
this is the case. I had this exact
experience with East Montana client.
Conditions were horrific. called me
begging in tears for me to help him get
deported. Anyone who says this is civil
detention and non-punitive is lying. So,
we know that conditions are deplorable
in both of these ICE concentration
camps, the one for adults, Camp East
Montana, and in the facility for
families and children, the Dilly Family
Detention Center. Senator Chris Murphy
recently attempted to do a lawful
oversight check of the facility but of
course was denied entry.
So I was just denied entry to the
detention facility here in Dilly. There
are,200 people inside. There are 400
children. The majority of them are under
5 years old. Uh I gave them 24 hours
notice that I was coming. So I didn't
show up unannounced and they still
denied me entry. That is unacceptable.
That is patently illegal. They made a
ridiculous claim that every single
facility in the area is funded only by
the big beautiful bill, which is just
not true. But even if it were, it
doesn't matter. Members of Congress have
a constitutional right to inspect these
facilities and have a clear statutory
right as well. Interestingly enough
though, while the facility illegally
denied Chris Murphy's visit, they opened
their doors for this MAGA representative
Tony Gonzalez, who made a disgusting
propaganda film, clearly lying about the
conditions of the facility. I'll play
this clip for you and let me know if
this reminds you of anything.
enjoying
the breeze right now that it's still a
little cool.
That's right.
If those obviously staged scenes of kids
staring into the camera uncomfortably
and strangely empty rooms despite this
place having over 400 kids in it. If all
of that felt eerily familiar, it's
probably because the Nazis did the exact
same thing, making a fake propaganda
film Terzine and touring the Red Cross
around fake barracks to lie about the
conditions in the camps. Immigration
attorney and huge resource against
MAGA's tyranny, Aaron Reichlin Melnik
responded to this clear propaganda
piece. He said, "I visited Dilly, too,
and worked with people who spent years
there providing legal advice to
thousands of people cycled through the
facility. It is a jail. That there is a
library does not make it summer camp.
You cannot leave. Medical care is poor.
Guards are often abusive." That is 100%
correct. No matter how much they lie and
cover it up, that place is a child
prison specifically housing kids who did
nothing wrong but not have the right
paperwork and have skin tones who are
slightly too brown. And the people in
and out of these facilities are are
done. I mean, the protests have erupted
in Minneapolis. And as Eric Lee
explains, the facility is also erupting
in protests. Unfortunately, it doesn't
seem like we've gotten much of a media
response down in Dilly yet. The only
reporting that I've seen so far is from
the Texas Tribune. Immigrant families
protest inside Texas facility housing
5-year-old boy and father detained in
Minnesota. Quote, "The message we want
to send is for them to treat us with
dignity and according to the law. We're
immigrants with children, not
criminals." Maria Alejandra Mononttoya
Sanchez, 31, told the AP in a phone
interview from the facility after the
demonstration. She and her 9-year-old
daughter have been held at Dilly since
October.
Officials at the Department of Homeland
Security have not responded to questions
about the situation. So, the current
status of the protest or the condition
of the protesters is currently unknown.
But given the fact that lawyers and
cameras were being shued away, chances
are that ICE is going to crack down even
harder on these poor people who again
are women and children. This has been
one of the darkest, most vile, and
sickening weeks in American history.
Definitely since I've been alive. And
and I pray that all of you take care of
yourselves, take care of your families,
and your communities during this
madness. Be sure that you're subscribed
to Really American for more news that
you're not going to see on the
mainstream media. I'm Tony Hinderman and
I'll catch you next time.

Pam Bondi makes SHOCKING announcement amid ICE shooting
Brian Tyler Cohen
Jan 24, 2026 Brian Tyler Cohen

Democracy Watch episode 459: Pam Bondi issues ultimatum to Minnesota amid ICE shooting



Transcript

This is Democracy Watch. Mark, it looks
like we have a really chilling update
here as it seems Pam Bondi has given the
state of Minnesota an ultimatum and this
is in light of this latest shooting that
occurred there. So, can you explain what
this ultimatum is?
Yeah, look, you and I have been saying
for months now that the Department of
Justice wants access to the most
sensitive voter information that states
have and that Donald Trump will do
anything to win the midterms. Well, Pam
Bondi today sent a letter after the
shooting, after you saw a a an
individual who looked like he was
directing traffic, tackled, thrown to
the ground, and then shot. After that,
Pam Bondi sends a letter to the governor
of Minnesota and basically says, "Hey,
the violence needs to end. You know, we
need to restore law and order, and here
are three things that you need to do."
One of them is turn over the voter
roles. That's right. turning over the
sensitive voter data that they have been
suing state after state after state to
get that they have been litigating over
and over and threatening states over
after this tragic shooting. That's what
Pam Bondi goes at at Governor Waltz with
they want this data because they want
Donald Trump to be able to rig the
election in 2026 and they will leverage
even this tragedy, even this horrific
event to get it. Mark, are they trying
to ramp up the violence as much as they
can so that they can use that to kind of
extort the city of of Minneapolis or the
state of of Minnesota to say, "Hey, we
can make this all go away, but you got
to give us something in return. And if
you don't, well, we can just keep on
sending these ICE officers in, keep on
shooting people with impunity until we
get what we want."
What we know about Donald Trump is that
he will leverage anything to get what he
wants, right? He's willing to leverage
uh, you know, increased violence. We've
seen what he's done with NATO and and
and leverage against our allies. We've
seen Brian, you live in California, I
live in uh Virginia. We've seen what
he's threatened to do to blue states to
try to leverage uh uh you know, aid to
aid to uh states and the like, right?
He'll use anything to get what he think
is is in his best interest. And Brian,
let's be honest, there's nothing right
now that Donald Trump cares more about
than the midterm elections because he
knows if Democrats take control of the
House and Senate in 2026, his his uh
aims to be an authoritarian get dealt a
big setback. He This is a guy who
recently told the media that he doesn't
think we ought to have elections in
2026. This is someone who recently told
the New York Times that he wishes that
he had seized ballot boxes after 2020.
You know, this is someone who went to
Davos to announce uh that there will be
prosecutions of his political enemies.
There is no surprise then when you look
at the tragedies unfolding in
Minneapolis that he will be willing to
leverage that to try to get what he
wants with respect to the 2026 election.
Look, this is why Democracy Docket has
been on this story both with respect to
the voter files, but also why it broke
this story tonight about this part of
the letter. you know, that the legacy
media was not paying attention to. And
as soon as Democracy Docket put out, I'm
now seeing it all over the place.
Yeah. And and I would highly recommend
for anybody who is watching this right
now, if you are not yet subscribed to
Democracy Docket, this this whole
situation right here is the perfect
reason why you should be subscribed
because this is the outlet that's
breaking important news. And by the way,
um it's not just what Mark is doing on
the media front. It's also the fact that
he is right now litigating against
Republicans abuses against this country
in more than 80 cases around the
country. So,
and 24 cases involving the Department of
Justice trying to get this data from
blue and purple states,
right? In in half of the states across
the country, it's him who's helping uh
protect your personal private
information. So, again, I if if you're
not yet subscribed to Democracy Docket,
whether it's for the media stuff,
whether it's for the court stuff, a ton
of good reasons to support the
invaluable work that Mark and his team
are doing. So, I'm going to put that
link right here on the screen and also
in the post description of this video.
Mark, while I was reading the article,
there was one line in particular that
Pam Bondi wrote uh uh in the letter that
caught my attention. She wrote, "I am
confident that these simple steps," and
again, that was uh allowing the
Department of Justice to access voter
roles, uh repealing the sanctuary city
policy, and on and on. "I am confident
that these simple steps will help bring
back law and order to Minnesota and
improve the lives of Americans." If
she's saying that these steps will bring
back law and order, is that not a tacid
admission that what is happening right
now is the absence of law and order and
it's a and it's a conscious decision uh
to to impose that on the people of
Minnesota.
Yeah. Now, look, Pam Bonnie will say,
"No, no, no. I meant I didn't mean
that." But let's be honest, this is the
mob boss saying,
"Right,
boy, it's terrible what's happening to
your restaurant right now. There are
people stealing and looting, right?"
Like I mean like he's she is literally
being like I'm sorry to see such
lawlessness in your city. Yeah. Boy, if
only there were a way to stop this. You
know, all these shootings and and all
these people being grabbed out of cars
that that where their windows are being
broken. You know, if only there were a
way to stop that. Oh, wait. How about
the voter roles?
Yeah, that that that ought that ought to
do it. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure
if we get the voter roles, uh uh we can
make all the lawlessness go away,
right? It's just it's it's so
transparent what they are doing. You
know, Alexander Souljan Nitson who was a
dissident in the Soviet Union and who
wrote uh several famous books including
the Gulog Archipelago which was his time
in the Soviet Gulog. Uh in 1974 uh he
gets expelled from the Soviet Union and
moves to the west and he has this line
that says uh uh the lie has become a
moral pillar of the state. And I thought
I I'm think I thought about that today
as I saw them once again, you know, just
absolutely tell lies about the events
that we saw on uh on video take place.
The lies about the background of this
registered nurse. Lies about their
reformed views of the Second Amendment.
Right now all of a sudden they're not in
favor of of citizens uh being able to to
carry guns. Lies about uh uh Minneapolis
and the police. Lies about the governor.
And then I saw this letter and I
realized that at the heart of all of
this is of course the big lie, right?
And the big lie, the foundational lie
for Donald Trump is always about
elections. It's about the 2020 election.
It's about the 2024 election and it will
be about the 2026 election. So my strong
advice to everyone is subscribe to this
channel. Make sure you hit the bell that
you are alerted when there's new content
because to be honest with you, Brian and
I cover this before it hits the legacy
media. Brian and I, you can go back
several videos. I mean, not recently,
like a while back, we were talking about
these voter files. We were talking about
why it seemed so odd that the Department
of Justice wanted access and was willing
to sue all these states. We talked about
in videos why this could be misused in
the future. Now, did we did did Brian
and I tie this directly to leveraging a
tragedy like we saw in Minneapolis? No.
But we were sounding the alarm of just
how serious this is. And you're not
hearing this from the legacy media.
You're not seeing it on the nightly
news. You're not reading about it in the
newspapers. So, please do me a favor and
subscribe to this channel.
Well, I appreciate that. And I'm going
to put the link to subscribe to this
channel right here on the screen. Mark,
I want to talk for a second, and I know
that we've discussed this in previous
videos, but for folks who haven't tuned
in to our previous videos and want to
know why the administration is so
hellbent on gaining access to uh to the
voter to the voter roles and and and all
of these files that contain uh private
and sensitive information. What can they
do with this? And I'm going to ask what
they can do with this in in the worst
case scenario because we would be naive
at this point to think that they're
going for anything other than the worst
case scenario.
Yeah. Look, this is what they could do
with it and it's what, frankly, in my
opinion, they want to do with it. Um, if
you want to disenfranchise a 100,000,
I'm just picking 100,000. It could be a
million, it could be 10,000. If you want
to disenfranchise a 100,000 Democrats in
a congressional race, well, you need to
know who the Democrats are.
Yeah.
So, the voter file gives them that
information. If you say, "Look, we need
to cover our tracks a little bit and we
need to disenfranchise 100,000 Democrats
by by saying that their ballots came in
by mail and we're going to target them
by mail." You need the voter file to
know who the Democrats are that voted by
mail. Now, if you then want to say,
"Well, even that's too obvious. I want
to target the 100,000 Democrats who
voted by mail and whose um uh whose uh
signature may not have uh in our
estimation matched." Then what you need
is to know who the 100,000 Democrats
are, who voted by mail, and you need a
copy of their signature. That is
something the states have on these
sensitive voter files. I could go on and
on. They have social security numbers.
They have party registration. They have
where you registered, when you
registered, when you voted, whether you
voted Democrat or Republican, which
elections you skipped. It gives them the
full picture of voters. So they can
slice and dice this vote this data in
any way they want to disenfranchise
voters. Now, if that isn't sinister
enough, now imagine that the election
takes place and the Republican candidate
loses by 99,000 votes. And now you need
to after the election decides to decide
to seize ballot boxes and take over vote
counting. You got it. What do you need?
You need the database to know again
where to go, whose ballots to target,
what are the rules that you want to call
ballots inbounds and out of bounds. This
is not fanciful. We've seen the
Republican party try to do this using
their voter data. We've seen right-wing
vigilante groups in recent years try to
do this using their data. But this is
the state's data. This is the whole
thing. And when the Department of
Justice walks into a Secretary of
State's office and says, "Disqualify
these voters." They're not some
right-wing group. They're not even a
political party. They are the people who
right now are preventing the local
police from investigating crimes. They
are the people right now who are
dragging US citizens off the streets
into uh uh into uh you know into black
vans. These are the people who right now
are depriving people of access to their
lawyers, shipping people overseas.
That's who wants to be able to use this
data. They have the power of the state
and they can abuse this like we have
seen them abuse other things. And if you
don't think Donald Trump will do
anything to win an election, including
abuse power, go watch the video coverage
of January 6th, 2021, and tell me that
what I just said is beyond possibility.
Mark, we had mentioned that it's it's
you and your law firm who are right now
litigating this exact issue in 24
states, 24 jurisdictions, so 23 states
plus Washington DC. So in half of the
states across the country, you are
what's standing between uh the Trump
administration getting your voter data
and not. But there are a few states,
about 10 states, Republican states that
have already handed over this
information willfully. And so is this a
situation for those states where the
toothpaste is out of the tube and now
that the administration has, you know,
that that information, that data, that
they can begin abusing it in very much
the same ways that you're warning about
with the rest of the states?
Yeah. I I've look I've gotten a lot of
questions about this. People have asked
me, you know, you're you're litigating
defending the the voters from having
their data turned over where the
Department of Justice is suing. What
about those other seven to 10 states?
And I'll be honest with you, you know,
we're a small law firm. We're 60 lawyers
and we are litigating, as you say, 80
cases across the country, across 40
states, including 24 of these states.
The Department of Justice litigates for
free, right? They have they have
government lawyers. So, you know, I have
I have tried to sound the alarm. Uh I
have mentioned that big law firms are
not involved in any one of the cases
that we are involved in. Not any of
those 24. There's not a single big law
law firm lending support to prevent uh
those 24 states from from having to turn
over their data. And there's no big law
firm suing the other 10 states. So will
me and my law firm eventually work our
way to the states that are that are
collaborating and cooperating? We may.
But I I I don't want to I don't want to
put, you know, sugarcoat this. assault
on democracy right now is coming from
all sides and it is coming fast and
furious. It is coming from private
litigants like the Republican National
Committee. It's coming from right-wing
vigilante organizations and it's coming
from the Department of Justice. And
along the way, you have a president and
his administration who are threatening
people in exercising their First
Amendment rights. So, you might imagine
as uh as is the case, it's hard to get
people to stand up. It's hard to get
people to be willing to sue. It's hard
to get law firms engaged. I mean, I'm
not going to back down. My firm doesn't
back down. But it is it is a challenge
right now. And that challenge is going
to grow between now and election day.
And look, we're going to keep doing that
work. But what you, Brian, and I with
the Democracy Docket team is we help
create the environment in which people
know what's going on. Because when
there's an informed public about what is
going on, it helps everything. I think
it helps litigation, it helps
organizing, it helps activists, and most
importantly, it helps you, the people
watching this video, understand the real
threats that are going on, not the ones
that have been filtered through Barry
Weiss and 60 Minutes or Jeff Bezos and
the Washington Post.
That's perfectly put. And and again,
first of all, I want to say on behalf of
everybody who's watching and myself,
thank you to you and your team uh for
stepping up where we've seen such a void
in leadership uh especially with regard
to fighting these cases in particular.
And again, for everybody watching, I
would just ask one more time, a small
step we can all take to help elevate
Mark's voice and elevate some of the
attention, especially in light of the
fact that he and his firm are taking on
these cases that nobody else will. Uh, a
small step we can all take to show some
support for that work is to sign up for
Democracy Docket. It is a resource that
I use on a daily basis. Could not
recommend highly enough that you
subscribe to stay on top of everything
that's happening. So again, I'm going to
put that link right here on the screen
and also in the post description of this
video. I'm Brian Taylor Cohen.
I'm Mark Elias. This is Democracy Watch.

Finally! Trump Panics As House Republicans Revolt Over Ice ... Civil War!
Jack Cocchiarella
Jan 24, 2026 Jack Cocchiarella Show

Political commentator Jack Cocchiarella reacts to Donald Trump and his fight with House Republican.



Transcript

Republicans in the House are clearly
looking at the polling and realizing
that ICE is a politically toxic issue
for them. And it is why one Republican
is revoling against Donald Trump and
Mike Johnson and moving for some real
accountability. But it is not just House
Republicans who are thinking about the
midterms when it comes to ICE because
Donald Trump is as well. And that is the
story that Chris Murphy just broke about
how Donald Trump is trying to use ICE to
steal the midterms. Not to just
intimidate us at polling stations, but
to steal our votes before they're
counted. We are going to get into the
Republican revoling against Donald Trump
in the House. But we have to start with
this breaking story that explains
everything happening in Minneapolis
right now. It is about Epstein. It's
about the horrible economic numbers, but
it is also very much about stealing this
upcoming election. Senator Murphy broke
it all down before we get into what's
happening in the House. By now, you've
seen this horrific video, another
individual killed in Minnesota. Um, it's
just [ __ ] awful the inhumanity of
this. um we cannot fund uh ICE as it is
constituted today. But we found out
something else really important today.
Pam Bondi sent a letter to state
officials in Minnesota in which she made
a list of demands
for ICE to leave Minneapolis. And one of
those demands was that the state turn
over its voter roles to the federal
government. This has never been about
public safety. Minneapolis is a much
less safe place today because ICE is
there. This is likely about trying to
rig and steal the election. Donald Trump
is wildly unpopular. He is not committed
to democracy and he knows the only way
that his movement is to retain power.
The only way that his corporate allies
retain power, his billionaire allies
retain power this November is for Trump
to steal the election. And so he's
saying to Minneapolis, um, if you don't
give me control of the voter roles, then
ICE isn't leaving. And you can see that
if he gets away with it in Minnesota,
he's likely going to try it in places
like Philadelphia and Phoenix, uh, other
key cities in swing states. So,
understand why it's so important for us
to draw a line. I have been arguing uh
all weekend that
the Senate should not pass funding for
the Department of Homeland Security
first and foremost because this is a
rogue agency that is operating outside
of the law and is killing American
citizens, but also because the
underlying game here may be to steal the
2026 election. And no senator, but in
particular no Democratic senator, should
play a part in that.
They just laid it all out. Donald Trump
wants to steal your votes before they
are even counted. And if they can do it
in Minneapolis, if they can do it in
Minnesota, they will do it everywhere.
They will say that there is fraud, that
there is crime, that there are drugs in
Chicago, in Milwaukee, in Atlanta, in
Detroit. They will go into these major
metropolitan areas and they will remove
you from the voter roles. They won't
tell you and then they'll say that it's
fraud. They'll use it as an excuse.
They'll prosecute you. They'll come to
your door. They won't let you register.
I don't know. Anything's possible at
this point. anything is possible. Donald
Trump understands how deeply unpopular
he is. He understands that he has to
distract and deflect, but he also knows
he has to destroy trust in every single
institution, but especially elections if
he wants to be able to militarize our
cities, weaponize the government, go
after me and you and prevent elections,
that is what they fundamentally want. At
the same time as they want to tell us
that one of the best blue states and
cities to live in in the United States
is a hell hole. It is because the broad
and successful social programs in
Minnesota in Minneapolis that Donald
Trump is there as well. He wants to lie
to you in so many different ways. But it
is blatant corruption. This is
criminality. They cannot get away with
it. We understand what they are doing.
It is obvious. It's almost as if they
want us to know what they are doing.
This is blatant. This is dictatorship.
It will only get worse. This is why the
Senate needs to ensure they do not spend
another dollar funding DHS. It is a tool
for Donald Trump to steal elections. And
Pam Bondi is just telling us that. But
there is so much more happening
underneath the surface. There is so much
more information we need to know about
what is happening in our government
right now. It is why we need
accountability and it is why we need to
bring in every single ICE agent, every
single thug who is beating people up,
threatening to put you on a terrorist
watch list for recording them, taking
people's lives, and especially the
leaders of that organiz those
organizations, which is what one
Republican in the House is doing,
revoling against Trump and Mike Johnson.
House Homeland Security Committee Chair
Andrew Garberino, a Republican from New
York, is now asking leaders of ICE, CBP,
and USCIS to testify at a full committee
hearing, according to the Washington
Examiner. Now, I know that some people
might already be commenting, "This
doesn't do anything. This doesn't mean
anything. Republicans are still
spineless." And yeah, Republicans are
still spineless. But what I can say is
that this is the second New York
Republican in a competitive district to
take some sort of stance on ICE that is
combative to the administration.
Although it had to be dragged out of
him, Mike Lawler, who was in one of the
most competitive seats in the country,
last night condemned Donald Trump for
detaining a 5-year-old and for JD Vance
lying about it. And this this is a real
act of accountability. Making sure that
they have to testify before Congress
means if they don't, then the same thing
that is happening right now to Bill and
Hillary Clinton being charged with
contempt, refusing to come into
Congress, what happened to Steve Bannon,
what happened to so many Trump stooges
who thought that they would get off
scot-free but ended up serving prison
time. That is what is going to happen to
Christine Noam, to Greg Bovino, to all
of these ICE thugs, their leaders, the
little SS agents. Is this this is what's
going to happen. There will be real
accountability. And if they do come
before Congress, they will have to
answer for their crimes, and it will
make it a bigger political issue that
MAGA will be unable to defend. Having
these people testify is important.
Getting them on the record is important.
Making this broader case against ICE is
important and it can only happen if
Republicans make it. And now that is
what we are seeing on this Homeland
Security Committee. Do not tell me that
this isn't a big deal because it does
mean something. We need to move the
public against these people. It is
incredibly important that we build
political power. That is what is
happening in Minneapolis right now. It
is why the community was able to push
Mayor Fry and Governor Walls to call on
the National Guard, something that
should have happened weeks ago, but they
finally did
to protect those who are protesting in
solidarity with now two Americans who
were killed. Should have happened weeks
ago, but that's the type of pressure
that we have to put out there. And it is
also the type of pressure that comes
from people sharing their stories. And
that is exactly what we saw today in a
statement that is just heartbreaking.
The family of Alex Prey who had his life
stolen from him by ICE today wrote, "We
are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kind-hearted soul who cared
deeply for his family and friends and
also the American veterans whom he cared
for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis
VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a
difference in the world. Unfortunately,
he will not be with us to see his
impact. I do not throw around the hero
term lightly. However, his last thought
and act was to protect a woman. This
sickening the sickening lies told about
our son by this administration are
reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is
clearly not holding a gun when attacked
by Trump's murdering in cowardly ICE
thugs. He has his phone in his right
hand and his empty left hand is raised
above his head while trying to protect
the woman Ice just pushed down all while
being pepper-sprayed. Please get the
truth out there about our son. He was a
good man. Thank you. He was a VA nurse
and his last act was protecting a woman.
A VA nurse. That is how Donald Trump
treats all of us. That is how his thugs
will treat all of us. There is no
reform. It is defund, abolish, scrap,
and start from zero. There is no
reforming these broken people who
deserve to be put in jail, hauled before
Congress
to be condemned, cross-examined, and
publicly humiliated for their crimes,
and hauled off to prison. That is not an
exaggeration. That is not a wild threat.
That is what we need to do to restore
order in our country. They talk about
restoring order by causing chaos. How
about we take those who want to see our
country ripped apart and maybe we remove
them. Maybe that's what we need to do.
Because I can't imagine any action that
shows hate for America more than
murdering in cold blood a VA nurse.
Someone who protected our heroes, who
was a hero himself. That is Donald
Trump's administration. And anyone who
will not come out in full force against
that cannot be a part of a movement to
fix that. They are the physical
manifestation. It is an amalgamation of
the worst parts of Donald Trump. That is
what ICE is. That is fundamentally
what ICE is about. And we have to stop
it. They are out there to divide, to
conquer, to cause chaos, to cause a
pretext for Donald Trump to carry out an
assault on our nation. That is what this
is about. They will strip you of your
freedom. They will strip you of their
rights. They will strip you of your
vote.
And they will police the streets telling
you you can't carry to protect yourself.
I do not want to live in that country
and we have to talk and fight and
message against it. It's what AOC did so
perfectly right here.
You we must organize and mobilize
against it. We must use our freedom of
assembly. And what we are seeing here
right now is an administration that is
deeply afraid of its own unpopularity.
We must remember that we outnumber them.
Donald Trump is less popular than he has
ever been before. The Republican party
is on its back heels. They are afraid on
multiple different fronts. The economy
is is doing worse than it has ever than
it has ever been doing in recently. They
are afraid because they are expos they
are afraid of being genuinely exposed by
what is happening in the Epstein files.
You have the economy and they are trying
to use these as flash points to divide
us instead of all of the things that
unite us. We must put a stop to them and
we must focus on the things that bring
us together so that we fight for a
better future for all of us.
They want us divided. We have to be
united against these fascists. That is
what they are. We cannot treat them like
political opposition because it means so
much more than that. This is not another
party. This is a domestic terror
organization and that is how we have to
treat them. That is how bluntly I will
put it on this show. I can promise you
that much. If you want to support that,
as always, you can hit that subscribe
button, leave a like on this video. If
you stuck around to the end, drop a blue
heart in the comments because we are
going to keep on fighting. We're not
going to let them silence us. And until
next time, y'all.
