Trump alienates America’s allies
Washington Week PBS
Jan 23, 2026

Donald Trump goes to war, rhetorically, with America’s next-door neighbor and largest trading partner. The panel discusses his rift with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and other American allies.



Transcript

Let's acknowledge that Donald Trump's blunt attempts to get European
nations to spend more on their own defense is good for Europe, good
for America, and good for us taxpayers. Let's also state the obvious.
If you are interested in preserving Canada's independence and the
independence of the free nations of Europe. You would build your
militaries the way America has built its military, but there are
ways that allies talk to each other even when they disagree, and
Donald Trump's way is not the usual way these things are done. For
instance, his offensive comments about NATO's contribution to the
war effort in Afghanistan in which more than 1000 European soldiers
died. Do nothing except alienate America's friends. And by the way,
insult the American and European soldiers who fought side by side
in countless battles over many years. The question is, how much damage
is he doing? Joining me to discuss all this, Peter Baker, the chief
White House correspondent at The New York Times. Leanne Caldwell
is the chief Washington correspondent at Puck. Stephen Hayes is the
editor of the Dispatch, and Idriss Calloun is a staff writer at The
Atlantic. Thank you all for being here. I know that myself, I would
rather talk about the snowstorm that's coming, but we're going to
talk about the state of the world instead, because I don't have the
weather equipment behind me. I just have an inaccurate picture of
the White House still. Um, the, um, I just, let me start, let me
start with you, but before we, before I ask you anything, I want
you to listen to a little bit of what the Canadian Prime Minister
said at Davos. Let's listen to that. If great powers abandon even
the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their
power and interests, the gains from transactionalism
will become harder to replicate. Hegemons cannot continually monetize
their relationships. OK, you're an economics reporter. Ken Hegemon's
continually monetize their relationship. Answer that one second.
The first question is, what does this mean? Everybody is talking
about Carney's speech in which he talked about a rupture in the Western
alliance as a rupture itself. This is the moment when everything
kind of burst out. It was called a galvanizing moment at Davos. We
can make jokes about that later, but, but give us the context and
give us the the the the importance of that moment. I think what Carney
did was he, he took the mask off. He, he, one of the most important
things that he said in that speech was that the rules-based International
order hadn't really worked as intended, but Canada went along with
it, that they knew that America sort of didn't abide by the rules
all the time, but they, they adhere to it large and largely enough
that that it was worthwhile for middle income countries to go along
with rules, and now what Carney has said in both in this speech and
in his trip to China when he met with Xi Jinping is that there's
a new world order, um, and if Donald Trump wants to act like the
hedgeman in North America, China in in uh Asia, Russia, and Europe,
then countries like his have to pivot, and they have to deal with
the multipolar world as it exists. Um, and he, he had, he had a lot
of good, good lines for economists, you know, compli complementarity
or positive sum. He's a central banker. Central bankers seem to be
the only people who are really good at standing up to Donald Trump
in this country and in Canada. That's interesting. We're waiting
to see what the Mexican central bank advisor, Peter,
Trump was surprised and upset a little about this. Actually there's
an interesting, um, we have a little montage to show you about their
very unusual kind of slow motion interaction. Why don't we watch
that for a second? I want you to talk about it. We are in the midst
of a rupture, not a transition. I want your Prime Minister yesterday,
he wasn't so grateful
that they should be grateful to us, Canada, Canada lives because
of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make
your statements, but Canada
doesn't live because of the United States. Canada thrives because
we are Canadian. Now there was a certain, you know, nice bottle of
maple syrup you got there, Mark. Hate to see anything happen to it.
Quality to Donald Trump's laconic but threatening posture.
But what does, what does this out and out rupture mean for the relationship?
I mean, they're our biggest trading partner, among other things,
and we share the longest border in the world, peaceful border in
the world. Where are we in the USC Canada relations? Well, if Donald
Trump gets his way, there will be no border. It'll be in another
part of the United States, and he demonstrated that online with a
map that he shows in an artificial intelligence created image of
US flag over the US over what's currently Canada, over what is currently
Greenland, over what is currently Venezuela, as if to demonstrate
that he intends to be the imperial power of the Western Hemisphere,
and you can see why Canada might not take that as much of a joke.
It's not very funny to them And Carney, I think, you know,
it's point is pulled off the mask is a good way to put it. I think
this is the week when our allies discovered that, that um flattery
and uh you know, appeasement only goes so far, right? Why did Donald
Trump reverse course on Greenland. It's very likely that he reverses
course because he saw that it wasn't going to happen, right? For
the first time maybe in his 5 years in the White House, Europe and
Canada and all these countries said no, no, that's not happening.
That's a red line here. We're not going to try to pretend that this
is a reasonable rational policy of trying to take over an ally's
territory, and he and that had effect on the bond markets and ultimately
he went from within a few hours saying I must have it all to, hey,
you know, we'll see what happens. let's go back in time. A full week
ago to when we were going to conquer Greenland, not Canada. And by
the way, remember Venezuela? That was crazy. Um, and remember Epstein
before Venezuela? That was also very interesting. Uh, but go back
to Greenland. um is the crisis diffused, Steve? I mean, I mean, he's
so mercurial that it might just come pop back out next week. Right?
I mean, look, he had said as recently as Wednesday, that he, the
United States needed to control Greenland and the the strong implication
was that we needed to take it. However, he very deliberately did
not rule out the use of force, and multiple times suggested that
we would be using force to take it because we needed it. Of course,
Greenland was not mentioned in the 33 page national security strategy
of the United States, but Trump threatened tariffs on allies on the,
the supposition that not having Greenland constituted a national
security emergency. I mean we haven't had Greenland for centuries,
but not having Greenland now constituted a national security urgency.
I mean, look, his arguments about Greenland have been farcical. I
think for a long time, and people have understood them as farcical
until such point as they can't afford to. They don't, Europeans and
our allies and Canadian s they can't afford to have the seriously
literally debate that people here in the United States does. They
have to take him seriously and literally, and they did, you know,
it's interesting you mentioned that because Mike Johnson
said this week that, you know, we take him, you should take him seriously
but not always literally. This was in the course of explaining, you
know, that he understands why what Trump wants Greenland, but you
know, we're not going to have a war and Leeanne I always, I, I, I
always ask you the same question. It's really groundhog Day, but
when when, when are they going to in Congress, going to say, uh,
no, like stop doing this. There's literally no
it's very hard to find a positive reason to alienate Canada. Like,
and there are a lot of Republican senators who understand that. Give
us a sense inside the Senate Republican caucus, just for starters,
and you can go to Mike Johnson. Give us a sense of
are you seeing any, to borrow a word from Canada, ruptures. Yeah,
well, you get sick of asking me the question. I kind of write this
different version of the same thing all the time, but I will say
with the Greenland situation, um, when I was talking to Republicans
on Capitol Hill. This is really the first time in the second Trump
administration that I I got a lot of anger privately, of course,
from House Republicans. This was a red line for them as any sort
of military invasion
if Denmark came with open arms and said, name your price. Yes, that
is a whole different story. um, but, uh, there was a lot of backchanneling
with the administration
to let them know that not only is this not going that that it's not
going to be approved. Congress isn't going to support it. that he
is actually hurting their midterm chances this is something that
is absolutely unpopular with voters who are like why are we talking
about it? Um, but they were afraid to say anything publicly. They
didn't want to poke the bear. You need to know, right? And that's
the answer, right, which, which means that they were hoping that
this backchanneling and this subtle
conversation with the president and his team would would get them
to the right place. Was it this back channeling or was it the market
dip on the fear that Trump was about to go attack a treaty ally.
Idris. I think I think it was the stock market going down. I think
it was 10 year or 30 year yields going up, mortgage rates are going
to go up as a result of that. It was also the Europeans saying very
clearly for probably the first time
that no, this will not stand you know, if you look at what's happened
over the course of the last year, the Europeans accepted a pretty
not nice trade deal. They basically accepted that America would be
tariffing their goods, and they weren't going to retaliate, and they,
I think I've seen the limits of appeasement. I think that that that
channel was probably very important. Um, I think the Republican pushback,
you know, it's been, it's been real. That's how a lot of the nominees
have gotten pulled. They don't don't sort of get pulled with a public
denunciation but this private backchannel. You do see that and it
does exist, but you know, if it's the president and he really, really
wants to do it, ultimately I think the Republicans in Congress cave.
That's at least what's happened. Well, listen to this. Listen to
this statement made by Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri, um, who
was a stalwart Trump supporter. He said,
about Greenland. Europe can't protect it. The Danes can't protect
it. That's just an obvious fact at this point. And so it is in the
strategic interests of the United States of America to pursue this.
How many people believe that who say it
and you know, it, it's hard to know what's in people's hearts, but
you have people literally a year ago if you went to every senator
and said name the top 100 issues facing the United States.
Literally nobody would put Greenland on the top 100. No, no, it's
people like Eric Schmidt. It's people like, you know, Bernie Marino.
It's uh um
Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz, um, yeah, so there's a, there's a group of them
who will do anything that the president says, and it will be OK.
They think that what he says is great and and gospel,
you know, but there is a very slim majority in the House of Representatives.
The House has been it's down to like 218 to 214. Yeah, there's a
two seat majority right now, and you know the House has been more
in lockstep
as a whole than the Senate, but you know, Don Bacon, of course he's
retiring. He's one of the few that speaks up, but he said he told
me, he said, look, invading an ally who we have a treaty with is
a high crime and misdemeanor. Um, and so he said that he has talked
to other Republicans about impeachment if that were to be the case,
you know, all of this is bluster right now, um, but it really did
rattle. um
members that this was the path that they were worried that he was
just crazy enough to go down. So the interesting thing, Peter, is
that is that he does seem, the president does seem
somewhat sensitive
to the bridge too far aspect of this. Is that fair? Well, look, there
are a number of instances in the last few weeks we've seen him go
out there and make extravagant threats and then to back off, right?
He said he was sending the army or the military or the National Guard
in Minneapolis, and then JD Vance said this week, well, we don't
really need to invoke the Insurrection Act. It's going to be OK.
He said that he was going to bomb Iran. right? If they killed protesters.
Well, they killed protesters. They killed thousands of protesters.
He did not bomb Iran. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't have.
I'm just saying that he said he would and then he didn't. Similarly,
on Greenland, he was going to tariff Europe. He might use military
force. Suddenly he backs off, and I think it's lending itself to
this feeling that Leanne sort of alluded to here. He used the word
crazy. There is this feeling in Washington among Republicans as well
as Democrats that, you know, is he off the rails here and it's hard
to know when he is because he seems always to be erra tic and mercurial
and volatile, but is there a point where it's going so far that you
have a guy in the White House, ultimate power because he seized it.
Um, all over the place. Yeah, it'd be weird. It would be weird if
Republicans suddenly discovered that the guy who lied about an election
and instigated a soft coup was too crazy to conduct, but I think
this has been an interesting week in the sense that, oh, like, don't
mess with Greenland turns out to be the closest thing, but I don't
think I don't agree with that. I mean, I we got some of the same
reactions that Leanne got in talking to people on Capitol Hill as
well, but like, that's a clarifying moment. You're talking about
invading a NATO territory of a NATO ally.
They're declaring it a red line. They're really angry privately,
but they won't say it public and come on. That's not backbone only
thing that has much more to do with these other external factors
that he's responding to. I mean, he has to just assume at this point
that Republicans are going to support him regardless of what he does
no matter how crazy it is. Leanne, you were going to say, yeah, I
was just going to say the public, the public justification among
Republicans was, look, this is just Donald Trump. This is bluster.
This is a negotiating tactic, and that is what they hid behind,
and you know, you're right, it's Congress has dispelled most of its
authority and power given it away to this administration over and
over again. Speaker Mike Johnson has led that and allowed that.
There is some rank and file frustration among Republicans over that
fact too, but um they aren't going to do anything about it, it seems,
I mean, Idris, I want to ask you this because we have you and and
you're an expert. It's the sort of question that um
I wouldn't even imagine asking a year ago. Uh, but what, what would
be the long-term consequences of a semi-permanent
hostility between Canada and the United States
economically. for starters. I mean, they're massive trading partners
with each other, um, so it would hurt the Canadians more because
they're more dependent on us than we are on them, but it would hurt
us as well. I mean, the fact that Carney took away the tariffs on
Chinese electric vehicles, gives avenue for those vehicles to get
into America, cause a lot of vehicles travel up and down the border,
but there are all sorts of consequences as well
for this rupture between between the two, the fact that you have
a our closest trading partner now triangulating, coordinating with
China, Qatar, other, other countries like that, that's not a situation
that America wanted to be in, um, you know, it is going to in the
pursuit of
uh maintaining kind of hemispheric control and asserting rights over
Greenland and Venezuela. It's going to lose a lot from probably it's
most important ally in in North America, and that, that's um that
that's quite something. I mean, the fact that Mark Carney would even
say things like this. I mean, that's, I think, why so many the reception
of his speech was so was so potent, um, that he called out also his
European counterparts in saying that you've gone too far in accommodating
this. You have to sta stand up and Trump will Trump stopped saying
the 501st state thing after Carney took over. He didn't respect Trudeau,
and he kept saying it. Now that Carney came he went to the White
House, he showed a bit of spine. Trump backed off, and I think that
Carney knows that. I mean, we're actually seeing something that is
very seldom seen in nature, an angry Canadian, right? We don't know
the, the, the, the true latent power, right? It's, it's, it's, it's
fascinating to watch. Steve, step back and talk about America's alliances
in Europe first, you know, so on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Churchill
and FDR and 10 being we're in we're militarily invading
Greenland. Where are we in the in the health of the post-World War
II European order. I mean, 9.5? You think it's that bad. Yeah, look,
do you remember that's bad. Remember January of 2003, Donald Rumsfeld
made an offhand remark in which he referred to France and Germany
as old Europe. That
created weeks-long diplomatic row that threatened the diplomacy on
the lead up to the Iraq War. There was so much chin stroking and
European anger about that. And now Donald Trump is just shrugging
off the deaths of soldiers, of allied soldiers.
In the wars that we asked them to fight with us. He's belittling
their leaders again and again and again. He's forcing them to take
steps that
require them to go beyond just thinking about sort of theoretically
what the relationship with the United States is to making alternative
plans, and that's what that's what we saw this week is this is no
longer theoretical. They're not waiting around. They're creating
additional alliances. They're going elsewhere. Peter, I'm not gonna
let the statement that he made about NATO troops go by without extensive
comment. Um, I mean you've seen it, we've all seen it, we should
take another look at it because it's quite extraordinary. It ranks
up there with the, to me, in, in my mind, it ranks up there in the
uh
norm-breaking power of his comments 10 years ago about John McCain's
war record. You just listen again to this. I'm sure you've all heard
it. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that,
and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines,
but uh we, uh, we've been very good to Europe and to many other countries.
Yeah, uh, it's worth remembering that the NATO alliance is a mutual
defense pact. It's not an offensive line, it's a defensive alliance.
And the only time in its history Article 5, which is the article
that says attack on one is attack on all. was ever invoked was on
our behalf after 9/11, NATO said, We are on your side. We are with
you. You have been attacked. You are our ally. We are with you. They've
they've never invoked it. We've never actually had to go on, had
to go to them in a combat situation when they were attacked. They
came to our assistance after 9/11. Now, look, you know, they were
not uh the main forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, sure, but proportionately
for countries like Denmark, more than 1000 troops, yeah, a lot of
troops died, and when, and, and when, and they didn't have to, they
didn't have to come. They did. They came because America is their
friend, and, and they came in a proportion to some of these smaller
countries like Denmark that may not be a lot for America, but for
Denmark, a lot of people died and and and and it had lived large
in their politics because they didn't, you know, they had the leadership
had to defend these decisions against a public that wasn't necessarily
sure it wanted to be there. Another line in Trump's speech that I
thought was even more shocking than that was when he was talking
about NATO and he said we would be, we will be there for them, but
I'm not sure if they'll be here for us, and that literally an inversion
of what Peter just described, and you know there's a bipartisan congressional
Code, of course, the bipartisan members were Lisa Murkowski and Tom
Tillis, the two Republicans who are willing to stand up against the
president sometimes, um, and on their Codell over the weekend to
Denmark. They visited the memorial where the Danish soldiers died
in Iraq and Afghanistan and so
it was just counter that statement was absolutely the opposite of
what has actually happened. Let's remember, by the way, what has
Trump actually said about Article 5 defending Europe. He said during
the campaign, if these guys don't pay up, Russia, do whatever the
hell you want for them. His line, not mine. Russia, do whatever the
hell you want with it. So Article 5, he has made clear is to him,
you know, conditional. and not actually an absolute commitment by
the United States to its allies that it had for the last 75, 80 years

Transcript

We begin the day going through the
stunning new overnight developments in
the ongoing story of the second brutal
murder of an American citizen at the
hands of the Trump regime in
Minneapolis, including new
highresolution close-up stabilized
footage which debunks the Trump
administration's lies. They are lying
about the murder of Alex Prey. We have
also heard from PR's family and
Democrats are taking a stand. So, we're
going to go through all of that. But
before we do, if you end up liking this
video and you want to support the
channel, please be sure to hit the like,
subscribe, and alert bells before you
go. All right, folks. We're going to get
into all sorts of things about this
murder throughout the day because, of
course, it's Sunday morning, so the
Trump administration is making the
rounds. Republican lawmakers are making
the rounds trying desperately to spin
the situation in interviews on CBS and
NBC and ABC and other places. So, we
have to dive into their reaction, but I
want to give you the updates about the
shooting itself, including bombshell new
footage, which confirms that when the
Trump administration said that Alex Prey
was using a gun against uh Border Patrol
or ICE, and now we know it wasn't ICE
per se, it was Border Patrol. Still an
element of the Trump administration, so
I want to be, you know, more accurate
here. It was border agents working with
ICE. that when the Trump administration
claims or insinuates that Alex Prey was
attempting to use a gun against law
enforcement officers, it's just not
true. And I have to be mindful of
YouTube's terms of service, so some of
this may be spliced so we don't see the
you most graphic parts, but I want you
to see very clearly this new stabilized
footage, which debunks Trump's lies.
So, here they're wrestling him to the
ground.
right here. And you're going to see it
zoomed in in just a second. One of the
agents is ripping away Alex Freddy's
gun. And then the agent in green shoots
him. Okay. The agent in the the gray
with the gun, Alex Py's gun is running
away. They have disarmed him. And then
the agent in green shoots him. Now
you're going to see the agents again,
slow motion, zoom in. They're grappling
with him. The agent in the center is
reaching into Alex Freddy's back. And
what you'll see here,
right here, his gloved hand is at the
small of Alex Freddy's back because Alex
Prey's gun, which remember he was
lawfully permitted to have, was
holstered in a small of back waistband
holster. It was holstered. He did not
have it out. He was not reaching for it.
It was holstered away from him behind
his back.
The agent, you can see here, he's
fumbling with the gun. And then right,
see right here, he's got the, you see,
he's kneeling. Alex Prey is kneeling.
The agent is gripping his waistband,
trying to get the gun, which is
holstered, that Alex Prey is not going
for, which he certainly doesn't have in
his hands.
And right here, you see
the agent rip the gun away. He's ripping
the gun away while the agent in green
withdraws his gun. Now, as you see here,
the agent who had Alex PR's gun has
successfully ripped it away and is
backing away. He's moving away to get
the gun away from Prey, which pretty did
not have in his possession like in his
hands and that Prey was not reaching
for. The agent in green has already
pulled out his gun. And then, of course,
we know what happens after Alex Prey is
disarmed from a gun that was holstered
in his small of back.
Then the agent in green fires the first
shot, one of about 10.
Okay. In other words, the gun was not in
Alex Freddy's hand. Alex Prey was not
reaching for the gun. He was surrounded
by seven agents. And the gun had been
identified, grabbed, and and withdrawn,
disarmed
before the agent shot. And the agent who
shot saw all of it. He wasn't at a
different location. People can't say,
"Well, he may not have seen that his
colleague had disarmed Alex Pretty."
[ __ ] He was standing right there.
He sees the gun, withdraws his own gun,
the other agent grabs Alex PR's gun and
runs away. And then the agent shoots. It
was coldblooded murder. And if you had
any questions about that, any doubts
about that, consider this. We now have
footage. While Alex Prey is on the
ground, either dead or dying, some of
the other agents are searching him, and
they ask a really important question.
Tell me if you hear it.
They're shouting, "Where's the gun?" So,
the agent's still surrounding Alex
Freddy's body or asking, "Where's the
gun?" And then you see the agent, one of
the agents point in the direction where
his colleague took Alex Py's gun. One of
the agents disarmed Freddy, took the
gun, ran away.
Some of the other agents who are either
are trying to provide emergency
assistance or they're searching Freddy
are like, "Okay, well, you shot him.
Where's the gun?" "Oh, the gun's over
there."
They know they [ __ ] up. They know they
[ __ ] up. This was murder. So, let's go
and get into some of the other updates.
Um, Alex Py's family issued a statement.
Quote, "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
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. Do not throw around the
word hero lightly. However, his last
thought and act was to protect a woman,
which we discussed in one of the recent
videos. A woman was shoved aggressively
by a Trump regime agent and Alex came to
her defense. He didn't take a swing at
the agent. He didn't get in the agent's
face. He just tried to help her up and
shield her. Then he gets pepper-sprayed
and accosted by the Trump regime's
agents. But let's continue.
The sickening lies told about her son by
the administration are reprehensible and
disgusting. Alex clear is clearly not
holding a gun when attacked by Trump's
murdering and 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
about our son. He was a good man. Thank
you. Now, a heartbroken statement. I
can't imagine.
I can't imagine. So, let's look at what
Democrats are doing, what elected
Democrats are doing. Um, because they're
stepping up. Now, before I get to that,
I've got to show you what they can't do.
Dan Feifer of Pod Save America is not
someone that I consider to be, you know,
some uh, you know, accelerationist
far-left lunatic, right? He's a fairly
moderate, I think, all things
considered, probably personally
progressive, but he's considered, you
know, part of the Obama era
establishment. He wrote a really, really
good op-ed or a really good message box
article on his Substack called why
Democrats must block the ICE funding
bill. So, to be clear, even what they
call the Obama pod pros, right, and I
respect them immensely, but I know a lot
of people more left than than they are
denigrate them, but even they are
saying, you know, Democrats need to step
up and block the ICE funding bill. We we
have to lay this out here because we
have to have a correct set of
expectations. All right, so just to be
clear before I show you how Democrats
are responding.
As he notes, there's a much more
complicated situation here than the vote
that led to a shutdown last fall. Here's
a state of play. First, the bill that
funds ICE and DHS passed the House on
Thursday with seven Democrats voting
yes. Before the murder of Alex Prey,
House Democrats, seven of them, seven of
the hundreds of House Democrats voted to
uh pass uh the ICE funding bill. Okay,
they shouldn't have done it. They were
swing state, you know, more moderate
conservative uh Democrats in red
districts. And then of course, Alex gets
shot, gets murdered. Now it has to go to
the Senate. He notes if Congress fa
fails to pass a bill, the Department of
Homeland Security will shut down. The
rest of the government will not shut
down. Congress has either passed or is
on the cusp of passing bills to fund
every agency other than the Department
of Homeland Security.
Funding bills are subject to the
filibuster. So to pass the bill,
Republicans will need at least seven
Democrats to vote with them in the
Senate. Blocking funding will not stop
ICE from doing what it's doing in
Minnesota and elsewhere. And this is
very important, folks, because we want
Democrats to act, but we have to have
realistic expectations. We have to
acknowledge what they do and we have to
celebrate it when they do what we want.
But we can't I don't want people to
leave this video thinking, okay,
Democrats can stop ICE. They cannot. As
Dan Feifer points out, blocking funding
will not stop ICE from doing what it's
doing. Trump decides which government
functions are essential and can continue
during an agency shutdown. during the
government shutdown in 2025, ICE
continued to terrorize communities,
which is true. When we had last year's,
you know, late in the year shutdown,
because Trump can decide what
constitutes an emergency and what can be
funded, ICE still operated unencumbered.
Okay? So, let's be very clear about
that. If you are expecting Democrats to
be able to snap their fingers and bring
this to a halt, it's just not true. We
have to be realistic about this. We have
to be honest.
He says, "Importantly, most of IC's
funding is mandatory funding from the
big beautiful bill and is not subject to
the appropriations process where
Democrats have leverage." So again, that
big beautiful bill that passed,
mandatory funding for ICE already went
in. Okay. And then he says,
"Additionally, um, it's unlikely that
the Republicans will cave. So we have to
set the expectation accordingly." And
then he says, despite all of that,
Democrats have to block the bill. And
the case that he makes for the most part
is ICE is unpopular. Trump is unpopular.
Trump's immigration enforcement is
unpopular. It's also the right thing to
do. And it sends a message to the
Democratic base and to moderates who are
leaving uh Trump because of ICE and
because of his immigration that hey,
when we say that Trump's a fascist and
that ICE is acting like a a fascist, you
know, Gestapo secret police, we mean it
and we're going to use what little
leverage we have to try to stop or
undermine it. Okay? We have to we are
aligning our actions with our rhetoric
and it's also the right thing to do.
Now, in response to this, Chuck Schumer,
the Democratic leader in the Senate,
said the following. What's happening in
Minnesota is appalling and unacceptable
in any American city. Democrats sought
common sense reforms in the Department
of Homeland Security spending bill, but
because of the Republicans refusal to
stand up to Trump, the DHS bill is
woefully inadequate to rein in the
abuses of ICE. I will vote no. And then
he says Senate Democrats will not
provide the votes to proceed to the
appropriations bill if the funding if uh
the DHS funding bill is included. In
other words, he is saying in his
position, he will whip votes against
funding the government if the DHS bill
is included. Okay, that's good. As AOC
notes, this is the strength of the
response we need at People's Calls and
organizing work. Thank you to all who
mobilized. No action is ever too small.
That's why we never give up. Thank you
at Senate Democrats. Now, I want to give
you some clips of Democrats who have now
been speaking up and confirming that
they will not vote to fund DHS,
including, by the way, Democrats who
caved in the last government shutdown
fight. Jackie Rosen, for example, of
Nevada. People who said, "Okay, you know
what? I'm going to I'm going to vote to
fund the government." They are now
committing to not doing it if DHS is
involved in the aftermath of the murder
of Alex Prey. Uh here is Senator Chris
Murphy. Before I let you go, I want to
ask about what your leader Chuck Schumer
says that Democrats are going to vote
against a government funding package
that is before the Senate uh soon and it
includes money for the Department of
Homeland Security. How is that going to
play out?
Well, we can't vote to fund this lawless
Department of Homeland Security. And
remember, it's not just in Minnesota.
They're violating the law all over the
country. I spent last week in Texas
where, you know, they are locking up
two-year-old and three-year-old kids who
are here in the United States legally.
And he goes on to say, but he's
confirming that no, we can't, we
absolutely cannot vote to fund DHS and
certainly not without any concessions
about how ICE operates. Amy Clolobachar,
uh, senator from Minnesota, somebody who
has announced that she's running for
governor to replace Governor Walls since
he's no longer seeking re-election.
Remember, this was in her state that
Alex Prey was killed. Just like Renee
Good,
our Republican colleagues have to stand
up. They are violating right now. ICE
border control what you've seen
violating the first amendment. If they
care about the Constitution, they should
care about this. Violating the Second
Amendment. The NRA has come out and
said, "I'm sorry. You can't blame Alec
simply because he was a legal gun permit
holder. Violating the Fourth Amendment
of search and seizure." So my point here
is our Republican colleagues have to
stand up and stop this and no I am not
voting for this funding.
So she is not voting for DHS funding.
Okay. Adam Schiff, another Democratic
senator who was interviewed this morning
was asked the same question.
And what if any role can Congress play?
Obviously, the government could
partially shut down again on Friday if
Democrats vote against this DHS funding
measure. My question for you, Senator,
are you prepared to vote against DHS
funding if it means partially shutting
down the government again coming on the
heels of an incredibly long shutdown?
Well, I'm not giving ICE or Border
Patrol another dime. Uh, given how this
agency, these agencies are operating.
Dem.
There you have it. I mean, again, we can
play the full clip, but it gets the
message through. He's saying no. Um, and
again, it's Mediite Reports. A few
others, including Senator Kathern
Castow, Cortez Masto, excuse me, of
Nevada and Senator Mark Warner of
Virginia, as well as Jackie Rosen of uh,
Nevada have said that they will vote
against the package, too. They've issues
issued public statements and these were
senators that voted to reopen the
government after the shutdown of last
year. So they're saying, "Okay, we we
folded last time. We're we're actually,
you know, we're not going to fund the
government here if DHS funding is
involved." So I want to wrap up with
this, okay? Cuz I know I threw a lot at
you and I know it's very emotional. Um,
new zoomed in stabilized footage debunks
the Trump administration's lies. Yes,
Alex Prey had a gun on him, but he was
lawfully permitted to have that gun on
him. He has every right to be near law
enforcement, to attend a protest, to be
filming law enforcement as long as he's
a lawful gun owner, which he was. Number
two, that gun was holstered in a smaller
back waistband gun holster. It was
behind his It wasn't It wasn't his hip.
His hands weren't near it. He had a
phone in his hand. He had his other hand
was free. He was on his knees surrounded
by seven agents. They forced him
forward. The gun holstered at his small
back was exposed. One of the agents
grabbed the gun from the holster, was
able to rip it away, ran away. The agent
ran away with the gun to put distance
between the gun and the suspect, Alex
Prey. A second agent in green saw all of
it. All of it. Saw all of it. He wasn't
He wasn't in the front. He wasn't far
away. He was standing right next to the
agent who disarmed Alex Prey. And then
he pulled out his gun as his colleague
was disarming Prey. And again, Prey
wasn't reaching for the gun, wasn't
trying to get the gun. his hands were in
front of him, saw Alex Prey get disarmed
and then shot him to death. And then
some of the other agents, some of the
other seven who were trying to again
either search Alex Py's body or provide
emergency assistance, they were like,
"Where's the gun? Where's the gun?" They
know they [ __ ] up because the gun
wasn't there. He was nowhere near a gun.
And the gun that was holstered that he
was not reaching for was disarmed
successfully before he was shot.
Alex Py's family has issued a public
statement condemning the Trump
administration as well they should. And
now Senate Democrats are prepared to use
what leverage they have to try to send a
message to the Trump administration to
try to impede the Trump administration.
But understand, we have to get this
right. Do not expect Senate Democrats
who are in the minority to be able to
snap their fingers and bring ICE to a
halt. It is not possible. In these very
difficult times, we have to demand that
Democrats do the right thing, use what
power they have, but we also have to set
the proper expectation. And if you think
that Democrats are just going to be able
to snap their fingers and bring ice to a
halt, it's not going to happen. But we
still should demand and expect them to
use what power and rhetoric they have to
push back. And uh as of now, they've
committed to doing so. So, we will be
discussing the reaction and fallout of
this uh all throughout the day because
again, there are a bunch of high-profile
interviews with Trump administration
officials. A lot of new developments on
the fallout of this, but that those are
the new stunning overnight developments
regarding the shooting itself. In the
meantime, let me know what you think in
the comments.

BOMBSHELL NEW SHOOTING FOOTAGE EXPOSES ICE
Pondering Politics
Jan 25, 2026 #politics #news #shooting

Bombshell new footage proves the Trump regime murdered an American citizen, Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis and debunks their lies.



Transcript

We begin the day going through the
stunning new overnight developments in
the ongoing story of the second brutal
murder of an American citizen at the
hands of the Trump regime in
Minneapolis, including new
highresolution close-up stabilized
footage which debunks the Trump
administration's lies. They are lying
about the murder of Alex Prey. We have
also heard from PR's family and
Democrats are taking a stand. So, we're
going to go through all of that. But
before we do, if you end up liking this
video and you want to support the
channel, please be sure to hit the like,
subscribe, and alert bells before you
go. All right, folks. We're going to get
into all sorts of things about this
murder throughout the day because, of
course, it's Sunday morning, so the
Trump administration is making the
rounds. Republican lawmakers are making
the rounds trying desperately to spin
the situation in interviews on CBS and
NBC and ABC and other places. So, we
have to dive into their reaction, but I
want to give you the updates about the
shooting itself, including bombshell new
footage, which confirms that when the
Trump administration said that Alex Prey
was using a gun against uh Border Patrol
or ICE, and now we know it wasn't ICE
per se, it was Border Patrol. Still an
element of the Trump administration, so
I want to be, you know, more accurate
here. It was border agents working with
ICE. that when the Trump administration
claims or insinuates that Alex Prey was
attempting to use a gun against law
enforcement officers, it's just not
true. And I have to be mindful of
YouTube's terms of service, so some of
this may be spliced so we don't see the
you most graphic parts, but I want you
to see very clearly this new stabilized
footage, which debunks Trump's lies.
So, here they're wrestling him to the
ground.
right here. And you're going to see it
zoomed in in just a second. One of the
agents is ripping away Alex Freddy's
gun. And then the agent in green shoots
him. Okay. The agent in the the gray
with the gun, Alex Py's gun is running
away. They have disarmed him. And then
the agent in green shoots him. Now
you're going to see the agents again,
slow motion, zoom in. They're grappling
with him. The agent in the center is
reaching into Alex Freddy's back. And
what you'll see here,
right here, his gloved hand is at the
small of Alex Freddy's back because Alex
Prey's gun, which remember he was
lawfully permitted to have, was
holstered in a small of back waistband
holster. It was holstered. He did not
have it out. He was not reaching for it.
It was holstered away from him behind
his back.
The agent, you can see here, he's
fumbling with the gun. And then right,
see right here, he's got the, you see,
he's kneeling. Alex Prey is kneeling.
The agent is gripping his waistband,
trying to get the gun, which is
holstered, that Alex Prey is not going
for, which he certainly doesn't have in
his hands.
And right here, you see
the agent rip the gun away. He's ripping
the gun away while the agent in green
withdraws his gun. Now, as you see here,
the agent who had Alex PR's gun has
successfully ripped it away and is
backing away. He's moving away to get
the gun away from Prey, which pretty did
not have in his possession like in his
hands and that Prey was not reaching
for. The agent in green has already
pulled out his gun. And then, of course,
we know what happens after Alex Prey is
disarmed from a gun that was holstered
in his small of back.
Then the agent in green fires the first
shot, one of about 10.
Okay. In other words, the gun was not in
Alex Freddy's hand. Alex Prey was not
reaching for the gun. He was surrounded
by seven agents. And the gun had been
identified, grabbed, and and withdrawn,
disarmed
before the agent shot. And the agent who
shot saw all of it. He wasn't at a
different location. People can't say,
"Well, he may not have seen that his
colleague had disarmed Alex Pretty."
[ __ ] He was standing right there.
He sees the gun, withdraws his own gun,
the other agent grabs Alex PR's gun and
runs away. And then the agent shoots. It
was coldblooded murder. And if you had
any questions about that, any doubts
about that, consider this. We now have
footage. While Alex Prey is on the
ground, either dead or dying, some of
the other agents are searching him, and
they ask a really important question.
Tell me if you hear it.
They're shouting, "Where's the gun?" So,
the agent's still surrounding Alex
Freddy's body or asking, "Where's the
gun?" And then you see the agent, one of
the agents point in the direction where
his colleague took Alex Py's gun. One of
the agents disarmed Freddy, took the
gun, ran away.
Some of the other agents who are either
are trying to provide emergency
assistance or they're searching Freddy
are like, "Okay, well, you shot him.
Where's the gun?" "Oh, the gun's over
there."
They know they [ __ ] up. They know they
[ __ ] up. This was murder. So, let's go
and get into some of the other updates.
Um, Alex Py's family issued a statement.
Quote, "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
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. Do not throw around the
word hero lightly. However, his last
thought and act was to protect a woman,
which we discussed in one of the recent
videos. A woman was shoved aggressively
by a Trump regime agent and Alex came to
her defense. He didn't take a swing at
the agent. He didn't get in the agent's
face. He just tried to help her up and
shield her. Then he gets pepper-sprayed
and accosted by the Trump regime's
agents. But let's continue.
The sickening lies told about her son by
the administration are reprehensible and
disgusting. Alex clear is clearly not
holding a gun when attacked by Trump's
murdering and 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
about our son. He was a good man. Thank
you. Now, a heartbroken statement. I
can't imagine.
I can't imagine. So, let's look at what
Democrats are doing, what elected
Democrats are doing. Um, because they're
stepping up. Now, before I get to that,
I've got to show you what they can't do.
Dan Feifer of Pod Save America is not
someone that I consider to be, you know,
some uh, you know, accelerationist
far-left lunatic, right? He's a fairly
moderate, I think, all things
considered, probably personally
progressive, but he's considered, you
know, part of the Obama era
establishment. He wrote a really, really
good op-ed or a really good message box
article on his Substack called why
Democrats must block the ICE funding
bill. So, to be clear, even what they
call the Obama pod pros, right, and I
respect them immensely, but I know a lot
of people more left than than they are
denigrate them, but even they are
saying, you know, Democrats need to step
up and block the ICE funding bill. We we
have to lay this out here because we
have to have a correct set of
expectations. All right, so just to be
clear before I show you how Democrats
are responding.
As he notes, there's a much more
complicated situation here than the vote
that led to a shutdown last fall. Here's
a state of play. First, the bill that
funds ICE and DHS passed the House on
Thursday with seven Democrats voting
yes. Before the murder of Alex Prey,
House Democrats, seven of them, seven of
the hundreds of House Democrats voted to
uh pass uh the ICE funding bill. Okay,
they shouldn't have done it. They were
swing state, you know, more moderate
conservative uh Democrats in red
districts. And then of course, Alex gets
shot, gets murdered. Now it has to go to
the Senate. He notes if Congress fa
fails to pass a bill, the Department of
Homeland Security will shut down. The
rest of the government will not shut
down. Congress has either passed or is
on the cusp of passing bills to fund
every agency other than the Department
of Homeland Security.
Funding bills are subject to the
filibuster. So to pass the bill,
Republicans will need at least seven
Democrats to vote with them in the
Senate. Blocking funding will not stop
ICE from doing what it's doing in
Minnesota and elsewhere. And this is
very important, folks, because we want
Democrats to act, but we have to have
realistic expectations. We have to
acknowledge what they do and we have to
celebrate it when they do what we want.
But we can't I don't want people to
leave this video thinking, okay,
Democrats can stop ICE. They cannot. As
Dan Feifer points out, blocking funding
will not stop ICE from doing what it's
doing. Trump decides which government
functions are essential and can continue
during an agency shutdown. during the
government shutdown in 2025, ICE
continued to terrorize communities,
which is true. When we had last year's,
you know, late in the year shutdown,
because Trump can decide what
constitutes an emergency and what can be
funded, ICE still operated unencumbered.
Okay? So, let's be very clear about
that. If you are expecting Democrats to
be able to snap their fingers and bring
this to a halt, it's just not true. We
have to be realistic about this. We have
to be honest.
He says, "Importantly, most of IC's
funding is mandatory funding from the
big beautiful bill and is not subject to
the appropriations process where
Democrats have leverage." So again, that
big beautiful bill that passed,
mandatory funding for ICE already went
in. Okay. And then he says,
"Additionally, um, it's unlikely that
the Republicans will cave. So we have to
set the expectation accordingly." And
then he says, despite all of that,
Democrats have to block the bill. And
the case that he makes for the most part
is ICE is unpopular. Trump is unpopular.
Trump's immigration enforcement is
unpopular. It's also the right thing to
do. And it sends a message to the
Democratic base and to moderates who are
leaving uh Trump because of ICE and
because of his immigration that hey,
when we say that Trump's a fascist and
that ICE is acting like a a fascist, you
know, Gestapo secret police, we mean it
and we're going to use what little
leverage we have to try to stop or
undermine it. Okay? We have to we are
aligning our actions with our rhetoric
and it's also the right thing to do.
Now, in response to this, Chuck Schumer,
the Democratic leader in the Senate,
said the following. What's happening in
Minnesota is appalling and unacceptable
in any American city. Democrats sought
common sense reforms in the Department
of Homeland Security spending bill, but
because of the Republicans refusal to
stand up to Trump, the DHS bill is
woefully inadequate to rein in the
abuses of ICE. I will vote no. And then
he says Senate Democrats will not
provide the votes to proceed to the
appropriations bill if the funding if uh
the DHS funding bill is included. In
other words, he is saying in his
position, he will whip votes against
funding the government if the DHS bill
is included. Okay, that's good. As AOC
notes, this is the strength of the
response we need at People's Calls and
organizing work. Thank you to all who
mobilized. No action is ever too small.
That's why we never give up. Thank you
at Senate Democrats. Now, I want to give
you some clips of Democrats who have now
been speaking up and confirming that
they will not vote to fund DHS,
including, by the way, Democrats who
caved in the last government shutdown
fight. Jackie Rosen, for example, of
Nevada. People who said, "Okay, you know
what? I'm going to I'm going to vote to
fund the government." They are now
committing to not doing it if DHS is
involved in the aftermath of the murder
of Alex Prey. Uh here is Senator Chris
Murphy. Before I let you go, I want to
ask about what your leader Chuck Schumer
says that Democrats are going to vote
against a government funding package
that is before the Senate uh soon and it
includes money for the Department of
Homeland Security. How is that going to
play out?
Well, we can't vote to fund this lawless
Department of Homeland Security. And
remember, it's not just in Minnesota.
They're violating the law all over the
country. I spent last week in Texas
where, you know, they are locking up
two-year-old and three-year-old kids who
are here in the United States legally.
And he goes on to say, but he's
confirming that no, we can't, we
absolutely cannot vote to fund DHS and
certainly not without any concessions
about how ICE operates. Amy Clolobachar,
uh, senator from Minnesota, somebody who
has announced that she's running for
governor to replace Governor Walls since
he's no longer seeking re-election.
Remember, this was in her state that
Alex Prey was killed. Just like Renee
Good,
our Republican colleagues have to stand
up. They are violating right now. ICE
border control what you've seen
violating the first amendment. If they
care about the Constitution, they should
care about this. Violating the Second
Amendment. The NRA has come out and
said, "I'm sorry. You can't blame Alec
simply because he was a legal gun permit
holder. Violating the Fourth Amendment
of search and seizure." So my point here
is our Republican colleagues have to
stand up and stop this and no I am not
voting for this funding.
So she is not voting for DHS funding.
Okay. Adam Schiff, another Democratic
senator who was interviewed this morning
was asked the same question.
And what if any role can Congress play?
Obviously, the government could
partially shut down again on Friday if
Democrats vote against this DHS funding
measure. My question for you, Senator,
are you prepared to vote against DHS
funding if it means partially shutting
down the government again coming on the
heels of an incredibly long shutdown?
Well, I'm not giving ICE or Border
Patrol another dime. Uh, given how this
agency, these agencies are operating.
Dem.
There you have it. I mean, again, we can
play the full clip, but it gets the
message through. He's saying no. Um, and
again, it's Mediite Reports. A few
others, including Senator Kathern
Castow, Cortez Masto, excuse me, of
Nevada and Senator Mark Warner of
Virginia, as well as Jackie Rosen of uh,
Nevada have said that they will vote
against the package, too. They've issues
issued public statements and these were
senators that voted to reopen the
government after the shutdown of last
year. So they're saying, "Okay, we we
folded last time. We're we're actually,
you know, we're not going to fund the
government here if DHS funding is
involved." So I want to wrap up with
this, okay? Cuz I know I threw a lot at
you and I know it's very emotional. Um,
new zoomed in stabilized footage debunks
the Trump administration's lies. Yes,
Alex Prey had a gun on him, but he was
lawfully permitted to have that gun on
him. He has every right to be near law
enforcement, to attend a protest, to be
filming law enforcement as long as he's
a lawful gun owner, which he was. Number
two, that gun was holstered in a smaller
back waistband gun holster. It was
behind his It wasn't It wasn't his hip.
His hands weren't near it. He had a
phone in his hand. He had his other hand
was free. He was on his knees surrounded
by seven agents. They forced him
forward. The gun holstered at his small
back was exposed. One of the agents
grabbed the gun from the holster, was
able to rip it away, ran away. The agent
ran away with the gun to put distance
between the gun and the suspect, Alex
Prey. A second agent in green saw all of
it. All of it. Saw all of it. He wasn't
He wasn't in the front. He wasn't far
away. He was standing right next to the
agent who disarmed Alex Prey. And then
he pulled out his gun as his colleague
was disarming Prey. And again, Prey
wasn't reaching for the gun, wasn't
trying to get the gun. his hands were in
front of him, saw Alex Prey get disarmed
and then shot him to death. And then
some of the other agents, some of the
other seven who were trying to again
either search Alex Py's body or provide
emergency assistance, they were like,
"Where's the gun? Where's the gun?" They
know they [ __ ] up because the gun
wasn't there. He was nowhere near a gun.
And the gun that was holstered that he
was not reaching for was disarmed
successfully before he was shot.
Alex Py's family has issued a public
statement condemning the Trump
administration as well they should. And
now Senate Democrats are prepared to use
what leverage they have to try to send a
message to the Trump administration to
try to impede the Trump administration.
But understand, we have to get this
right. Do not expect Senate Democrats
who are in the minority to be able to
snap their fingers and bring ICE to a
halt. It is not possible. In these very
difficult times, we have to demand that
Democrats do the right thing, use what
power they have, but we also have to set
the proper expectation. And if you think
that Democrats are just going to be able
to snap their fingers and bring ice to a
halt, it's not going to happen. But we
still should demand and expect them to
use what power and rhetoric they have to
push back. And uh as of now, they've
committed to doing so. So, we will be
discussing the reaction and fallout of
this uh all throughout the day because
again, there are a bunch of high-profile
interviews with Trump administration
officials. A lot of new developments on
the fallout of this, but that those are
the new stunning overnight developments
regarding the shooting itself. In the
meantime, let me know what you think in
the comments.

Minneapolis shooting: AG Ellison on legal fights vs. federal government [FULL]
FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul
Jan 25, 2026

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on Sunday addressed Minnesotans about the legal fight his office is undertaking to preserve evidence in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol.



Transcript

Governor Walz, thank you for your
excellent leadership during this very,
very difficult time, this unprecedented
time, Governor, because quite honestly,
there's never been a deployment of
immigration agents this size in the
history of the United States.
There have been times in American
history where they've deported a lot of
people, but a concentrated deployment of
ICE agents in one state, in one period of
time, is unprecedented, and therefore
there's no playbook, and therefore nobody
knows exactly how to deal with this
situation. But it is unique and
particularly puzzling given that Minnesota does not
have the highest immigration in the
United States, given that Minnesota
has a very, very professional
community of law enforcement
professionals, who are taking care of
the safety of our state. Given
the fact that the department of
corrections person with the state law,
hands over people who ICE is looking for,
and they have the proper paperwork for.
Given given all of that, this is a very
curious situation, and would reasonably
lead someone to ask why.

So, let me talk about Alex Pretti. Alex
Pretti was a nurse at the VA. I happen
to have a son who's 31 years old, who
spent five years in the United States
military as a combat medic. But toward
the end of his deployment, and the end of
his service, he wanted to go into
nursing. And so he did. And he ended up
getting an RN degree, and works
in the health care system here in
Minnesota. And when he was at work today,
and last night, he said, "Look, my
colleagues were crying, and in tears, and
they took this hit to one of their own
very personally." And he said, "I did
too." He said, "I didn't find
myself shedding tears, but I could have,
because I was brokenhearted, because
I know the service, and the love,
and compassion he put into taking care of
the people at the VA."

An intensive care nurse, kind, compassionate person to friend and
family, described by co-workers as the
first person who would jump in to help.
He was our neighbor, and he should still
be with us right now.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is a statewide criminal investigative bureau headquartered in Saint Paul that provides expert forensic science and criminal investigation services. The BCA assists local Minnesota law enforcement agencies with complex investigations using the latest technology and techniques, and helps secure arrests for violence-related and drug-trafficking crimes, among others. Notably, the BCA investigates killings by police and similar incidents.

The BCA operates as a subsidiary division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, a major state agency of the Minnesota Executive Branch. The BCA's superintendent is Drew Evans.

History

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 1927 to assist police departments statewide in solving crimes and apprehending criminals, under the direction of the Minnesota Attorney General's office. The BCA gathers crime statistics to help state and local agencies identify criminal trends. In 1935, agents received full police power and were licensed police officers throughout the state. In 1947, the BCA Crime Lab was established in St. Paul to assist in solving crimes via forensic science, and was one of the first DNA laboratories in the United States in 1990. Later the BCA was the first law enforcement agency in the U.S. to identify a suspect solely by DNA. In 1969, the agency was moved under the direction of the State Attorney General's Office to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. In 2001, the BCA opened an additional forensic laboratory in Bemidji, and the BCA's Special Investigations Unit began collaborating with federal agencies to aid in multi-jurisdictional criminal investigations. In 2004, the BCA became one of four laboratories in the U.S. the Federal Bureau of Investigation selected to serve as a regional mitochondrial DNA laboratory.

-- Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, by Wikipedia

So, let me just note that Superintendent
Drew Evans of the BCA [Bureau of Criminal Apprehension], another exemplary
professional in our state, the
BCA is the state's investigative agency,
and it is their job to investigate
crime. They have a specialized unit to
investigate the use of force cases. They
arrived on site after the shooting and
were refused access.
They then secured a
judicial warrant, a warrant signed by a
judge, which has never been needed before,
and were still refused access.
This is uncharted territory.

Now friends, this comes at the tail end
of other offenses like a shooting in
North Minneapolis, and another homicide
in South Minneapolis, Renee Nicole Good,
where they also were denied access to
the scene. And investigators are to this
moment still being denied access to the
investigative file.

This is not a rash decision for us to go to court, and to
seek a temporary restraining order
from a judge to preserve evidence, and
prevent the destruction of evidence.
I don't care if you're a conservative,
liberal, or whatever, you should at
least be in favor of conserving evidence
in a homicide.
And to have to go get an order from a
judge to preserve that evidence is
extraordinary, and should alarm everyone
who believes in equal justice under the
law, and who believes that every person,
no matter how this case ultimately is
resolved, deserves to have their case
investigated to get to the truth of what
happened.

This is an extraordinary moment, in an unprecedented time, and
we're doing all we can to step up to
that moment. My office represents the
BCA , and joined the Henipin County
Attorney's Office in a lawsuit last
night, as you know, and we moved
to prevent the destruction and/or
tampering with evidence related to Alex
Petti's shooting.
And this includes any evidence the
federal agents took from the scene of
the shooting preventing the state
authorities from inspecting it.
We've never had to do anything like this
before. Never before.
We filed that motion last night, and for
a temporary restraining order, asking the
court to take immediate action to
preserve the evidence. And last night,
within two hours of the filing, a judge
granted the motion.

The Department of Homeland Security and
the federal government are now enjoined
from destroying or altering evidence
related to yesterday's shooting.
The fact that anyone would ever think
that an agent of the federal government
might even think about doing such a
thing, was completely unforeseeable only
a few weeks ago.
But now this is what we have to do.

As we said in our filing last night, the
irreparable harm we would suffer if the
federal government were allowed to
destroy evidence is so weighty, that any
harm to the federal government, does not even budge
the scales in a court balancing of the
scales. It's imperative that we
preserve as much evidence as possible, so
that the state investigators are allowed
to access the evidence to ensure a fair
thorough investigation.

And I will say, I've heard not one
single law enforcement, or investigative
agent in the state of Minnesota, say that
they won't share information with the
federal government. I've heard quite the
opposite from the federal government.

Now, Operation Metro Surge. As I noted when I
started, this appears to be
the largest single deployment, or surge
of immigration agents, in the history of
the country.
And as a result,
tremendous damage has been inflicted
upon our state. We've had two killings
within two weeks and an additional
non-lethal shooting. We've had countless
numbers of people who have been stopped,
and had the demand for
their papers, to have to show their
papers in America. We've had door-to-door
knocks where people have had
their homes barged into without
cause of right. And we've had
stores have to shutter, schools, students
not going to school. We've had reduction
in employees going to their job
sites. We've had little
markets being shut down, restaurants
being interfered
with. We've had a countless number of
harms.

And so we took the action of
suing the federal government over
Operation Metro Surge.
And tomorrow morning,
I'm going to be in federal court with my
team arguing for a restraining order
against Operation Metro Surge.
I filed this case almost two weeks ago,
and this will be our first hearing. The
lawsuit we filed is one that is
caused by the unprecedented
nature of this surge.

It is a novel abuse of the Constitution
that we're looking at right now.
No one can remember a time when we've
seen something like this when a state
can marshal facts to show that our
targeting is not based on excessive
amounts of undocumented immigrants or
anything like that. But
we're targeted because of politics, which
violates our First Amendment rights. Also the
10th amendment which we are entitled to as
a state to equal sovereignty,
we have been denied that. The
federal government is literally
commandeering and coercing the state of
Minnesota to bend to its will, which is
the prerogative of the people of the
state of Minnesota.

Let me remind everybody, let me take everybody back to
eighth grade civics. The states predate
the United States, and came into the
union preserving their rights as states,
to be the states that the citizens of
those states want them to be within
a constitutional framework.
It is in the
DNA of American history that the
federal government cannot trample over
the prerogatives of the state. And that
is exactly what is happening here. And
that is exactly why we're going to
court. This surge has drained local law
enforcement time and resources.
Jacob Frey, if he were here, could tell
you that they've spent north of $2
million on overtime responding to ICE.
They damage our economy, hurt our
education system, and terrorize
community members. And it must stop. And
tomorrow is a big step in that
direction.

Now, as I noted a moment ago, people
will ask, well, why Minnesota?
I'll say this. Minnesota is dealing with targeted
oppression from the federal government
because of who we are, and who we value.
Minnesota is a place where we welcome
the stranger.
We have number of nonprofits that focus
on refugee resettlement in Minnesota.
Minnesota is a place where we take care
of the vulnerable among us. We're a
state that just passed paid family
leave. We're a state that believes in
feeding our kids who are in school. And
we're a state that believes that
Minnesota is a great place to live for
everyone, no matter where you were born.

Of course we obeyed all laws, but we
still believe that immigration is not a
sin. They're coming after our
state, in my view, because of what we
stand for. Because we voted three times
in favor of somebody not John Donald
Trump, which he has publicly said he
resents deeply and believes is not even
true. I can tell you it's not about fraud.
Because if he sent people who understand
forensic accounting, we'd be having a
different conversation. But he's sending
armed masked men. This is a pretext, and it's not supported by the facts at
all, which has brought us to court,
challenging the justification that the
president has offered.

For those watching around the country,
I would submit to you that just as
Portland, and Chicago, and LA, were
precursors to Minneapolis, Minneapolis
is a precursor to a whole lot of other
places that they have their eye on right
now, including Maine,
and several other states.
If we don't stop this behavior here, it
will only expand, and it won't be good
for anyone in our country.

Minnesota is staying strong, and I want
to join Governor Walz in my
just pride in being a Minnesotan.
No football game victory could ever make
me feel as good about our state as I do
about people standing up, helping their
neighbors, engaging in mutual aid,
giving each other rides to different
places, making sure that there's enough
groceries, protesting, using their first amendment
rights. This state has a lot of spirit,
and "Minnesota-nice" is a real thing.

I wasn't fortunate enough to be born in
Minnesota. I was born and grew up in
Michigan. And I can tell you that this
state has a lot of nice people. It really
does. And a lot of people who believe in
taking care of their neighbor and
welcoming the stranger.
And as we see right now, resisting
tyranny.

So, I just want to say that as the
courage of protesters and others who are
helping their neighbors is so evident on
the streets of this of this great state
of ours, we at the attorney general's
office, and in Minnesota state government,
can do no less than match the courage
you have already shown.
And we will not back down. We won't
blink. We won't bow. We will stand firmly on our
constitutional rights and in favor of
Minnesotans.
We will do that in the ballot box,
at the courts, we will do that in the
streets in a peaceful, legal, First
Amendment protected way. And we will do
it in a multitude of ways. But one thing
we will not down do is we will not back
down, and we will not bend.

And so let me wrap up by saying this.
We will never forget Alex Pretti.
We will never forget Renee
Nicole Good. And we will never forget
any of the Minnesotans who have
suffered so unjustifiably in
this time.

Minnesota is a great place.
That is why I believe we've been targeted.
But it's not going to work. And we'll be
in court tomorrow arguing for the rights
of every Minnesotan to stand up and be the
generous, courageous people that we are.
Thank you.

MAGA Fox host SCREAMS at Kash Patel over ICE shooting
Pondering Politics
Jan 25, 2026 #politics #news #foxnews

Donald Trump should be terrified: MAGA Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo is turning on him, grilling FBI Director Kash Patel and Republican Congressman James Comer over the murder of an American citizen by Trump regime.



Transcript

As we continue to cover the fallout of
the second brutal murder of an American
citizen in Minneapolis at the hands of
the Trump regime, something very
interesting happened this morning on
Donald Trump's favorite TV network,
which should absolutely terrify him.
MAGA Fox News/Fox Business host Maria
Bart Roma, one of the biggest Trump
supporters in the Fox orbit, is freaking
out and losing her [ __ ] not just on
Republican members of Congress like
James Comr, but Trump administration
officials like FBI director Cash Patel,
pushing back on the Trump administration
and the Republican regarding this
murder. And when you lose Maria Barter
Romo, you've definitely lost the
American people. But before we unpack
all that, if you end up liking this
video and you want to support the
channel, please be sure to hit the like,
subscribe, and alert bells before you
go. All right, folks. We have several
clips to play here. But I want to start
with uh Maria Barto Romo engaging with
James Comr, the Republican leader of the
House Oversight Committee, and then I've
got several clips to show you from a
slightly earlier interview this morning
with FBI Director Cash Patel. But let's
start with Barta Romo and Comr here.
Another individual is dead at the hands
of Border Patrol. Let's be clear. We do
not know if there was any push back from
this individual who was armed. We do not
have evidence that he was waving a gun,
doing anything to threaten Border
Patrol. He had his phone and he was
shooting [laughter] he he was uh viewing
and recording the incident. That's what
he was doing, recording the incident.
What is your reaction? And you are an
elected official. What can you do about
it? Well, look, I I don't think there's
any question a majority of Americans
want President Trump and ICE to go in
and apprehend the
I just want to know something here. Do
you hear how outraged she is? Do you how
do you hear how panicked she is? I don't
know if it's because she's panicked
about the political consequences for her
political party or if it's because she
is deeply actually personally touched by
this. She is she's offended by this.
She's outraged by this on a personal
level or a combination thereof. But
she's pushing back in ways that very few
MAGA Fox hosts actually will. And quite
frankly, even the allegedly straight
news Fox hosts like Dana Parino wouldn't
push back like this. And also note how
panicked James Comr is. He's trying to
walk a fine line. He knows ICE [ __ ]
up. He knows Border Patrol [ __ ] up. He
knows this is a murder. He knows that
Republicans are getting their asses
kicked in the court of public opinion
about this. But he's also terrified of
Trump. So that's why he's beginning with
the platitude. Well, I think the
majority of Americans really support
Donald Trump.
Criminal illegals. That's what President
Trump campaigned on and he's doing
exactly what he said. I look at what
happened in Minneapolis versus what
happened in Washington DC. When
President Trump sent the National Guard
into Washington DC, the mayor, Mayor
Mariel Bowser supported that. She worked
her her local law enforcement court
worked with the president and in a short
period of time they have really been
successful in reducing the amount of
crime in Washington DC. That was a big
success. Fast forward to where we are in
Minneapolis. We have a governor, an
attorney general, and a mayor of
Minneapolis who are getting people
jacked up, uh, trying to get them, you
know, convinced that this is, you know,
some type of, uh, illegal raid, that
they're all their lives are threatening.
They've got all these white liberals
coming in trying to run over ICE, trying
to, you know, spray them and and and do
everything to disrupt. And
yeah, so again, you hear the stammer. I
mean, Comr is an idiot anyway who should
be made fun of for the rest of his
[ __ ] life. But he's panic here and
he's trying to flip the script. It's
actually it's actually liberals. It's
white liberals. And notice how again
that shot uh across the bow at Renee
Good, the first American citizen
murdered by the Trump regime in the
streets of Minneapolis with they're
trying to run people over. That's not
what happened, [ __ ] Now, let's turn
to Maria Barto Romo's interview with FBI
Director Cash Patel. And she also lets
Patel have it. morning. And I know that
this is a DHS investigation, but there
is outrage across the country that there
is another killing. Someone is dead at
the hands of Border Patrol. What can you
tell us?
Great to be with you, Maria. And look,
Secretary Gnome stated it perfectly. You
do not get to attack law enforcement
officials in this
He didn't
country without any repercussions. You
do not get to do that in Minnesota, LA,
or anywhere else. and the inter agency
is leading the charge out there. We've
already arrested with the inter agency
those that violated the FACE act and
impeded a priestful prayer in church.
We've already just last night arrested
four more individuals uh involved in the
damage of government property that we
saw the videos of online. Um we've
arrested other individuals who've made
threats to law enforcement online. So we
are not messing around. It doesn't have
to be in person. If you threaten law
enforcement officials or civilians, we
are going to come find you. that has
nothing to do with the murder of Alex
Prey.
And as for this latest shooting, yes,
DHS and HSI are the lead and the FBI is
processing the physical evidence. So,
we're in possession of the firearm which
is going to go to our laboratory. But as
Secretary Gnome said, no one who wants
to be peaceful shows up at a protest
with a firearm that is loaded with two
full magazines.
There's nothing about that said
anywhere. There there is no these
[ __ ] [ __ ] who have said for years
the second amendment shall not be
infringed and we got to you know we got
to protect ourselves from a tyrannical
government. It don't matter. You don't
get to tell me Uncle Sam how many
magazines I can have. These people said
that [ __ ] And by the way uh the the
hypocrisy of MAGA on uh the second
amendment has been explored to hell and
back in the past 24 hours. It is truly
truly stunning to see them walk it back.
They don't give a [ __ ] about the Second
Amendment. They don't give a [ __ ] about
the right to bear arms. They don't care
about any of that. They want guns to
kill liberals, but they don't think
liberals can have guns for any reason.
And again, Maria Baromo, to her credit,
pushes back on this [ __ ]
Charge to arrest those.
But but how was he threatening Border
Patrol? You you've collected the
evidence, you said, right? You have the
handgun in your possession.
That's right.
And and how was he using that handgun in
terms of threatening Border Patrol?
He wasn't. The gun was holstered in a
small of back holster on his waistband.
He had a phone in his hand. He had his
free hand. He wasn't reaching for his
gun. He was pepper-sprayed before he
went to the ground. He was surrounded by
seven ICE/Border Patrol agents. And we
just reviewed the footage. Go back to my
most recent video. The footage has been
stabilized. It's been slowed down. It's
been zoomed in. One Border Patrol agent
identifies the gun in PR's holster, rips
the gun out of PR's holster, runs away
uh from Prey to put distance between
Prey and the agents and the gun. The
other agent in green sees this happen,
sees the gun, sees his colleague grab
the gun. Pretty's not reaching for it.
Prety's on his knees, hands in front,
sees his colleague successfully disarm
Prey from the holster, run away. Then he
pulls out his gun and shoots Freddy in
the back. Clear-cut, black and white. It
was murder.
What was the threat? He had his camera,
right? He was filming it.
That's something that I let the DHS and
the prosecutors because they are the
ones investigating that case. I don't
Do you hear this [ __ ] He's like, "You
can't go around threatening uh
threatening law enforcement agents with
a gun." Okay. Well, how is he doing
that?
I mean,
DHS
DHS has to explain that one. I don't
know. I want to stylize that evidence,
but I trust the men and women on the
ground who are trained professionals to
only use it when it's absolutely
necessary. And I trust Secretary Gnome's
leadership and DHS and HSI to do. So
again, Cash Patel is regurgitating
Gnome's propaganda, DHS propaganda, but
when pressed by a MAGA Fox News host,
we'll explain it. You're indicating that
he was threatening law enforcement with
a gun. How was he doing that? You can
see Cash Patel in real time go, "Oh
shit." Uh have to talk to them. But
but it's not stopping. People are mad at
ICE and want Border Patrol to stop. You
saw what's happening right now in
Minneapolis. People are protesting in
the streets pushing Border Patrol out.
How will this end?
This will end thanks to President
Trump's brilliant leadership to always
back the blue. Law enforcement.
He doesn't back the blue. Again, this is
situational. If he backed the blue, he
would be celebrating the capital police
that successfully defended the capital
against his violent insurrectionist mob
on January 6th instead of mass pardoning
the hundreds of copers. Donald Trump,
again, guys, it is outrageous because
people are dying as a consequence. But
please understand, this is not a matter
of opinion. It's a matter of fact. MAGA
is the most openly unprincipled and
hypocritical movement in modern American
history. They care about nothing.
Nothing other than owning the libs. They
don't give a [ __ ] about the Second
Amendment in principle. They don't care
about law enforcement in principle. They
don't care about small government in
principle. They care about nothing. It's
whatever they can pick up to own the
libs, even if they themselves suffer in
the process. That's what they care
about.
How much uh of this has to do with some
of the rhetoric in your view? Just two
weeks ago, the governor, Tim Waltz, told
residents to get their phones and start
filming uh whatever is happening and
when they see Border Patrol. Listen to
this. This is just two weeks ago from
Governor Tim Waltz. Watch.
And Cash Patel goes on, we're going to
skip the walls part because again, it's
just about you use your phones to record
that. You have every right to do that.
Any any person has the right to film and
monitor law enforcement. You just do.
Now, you don't need to be getting in
their faces. You don't need to be
interceding or disrupting. That could,
especially in today's age, get you
killed. But if you see law enforcement
conducting law enforcement operations,
you have every right to take out your
phone and film it. And they can't do
anything about it legally.
Your reaction?
I think that type of rhetoric is exactly
what's leading to violence against law
enforcement that is totally baseless and
unnecessary.
I think calling on people to monitor a
rogue law enforcement organ um
peacefully exercising their rights to
monitor, to film, to record law
enforcement. I think that's the thing
that's contributing to the violence.
These people are not serious at all.
Now, I mean, thousands of people are
marching through Minneapolis. They are
targeting uh the border patrol. I mean,
it it feels like the rhetoric and the uh
the protesting is only ramping up. What
is your advice to the people right now
who are outraged that this is a second
killing at the hands of Border Patrol in
two weeks?
As Christie said, you cannot bring a
firearm loaded with multiple magazines
to any sort of protest that you want.
It's you can you have a he had a right
to open carry in Minnesota in
Minneapolis. Minneapolis law permits
him. There's no law that I'm aware of.
Maybe we should have peace go back on
which says, "Hey,
you can't bring you cannot legally bring
a gun to some sort of public engagement,
public uh protest." Now, maybe it's
unwise. Maybe it's unwise, but it's not
illegal.
He doesn't give a [ __ ] about that.
That's simple. You don't have that right
to break the law and incite violence.
What law did he break and how did he
incite violence?
He had the right to carry the gun. And
I'm going to close with this. Uh Maria
Bard Romo again, she's panicked. She's
freaking out either because she
understands the political consequences
or because she recognizes on a deep
personal level that Trump and the Trump
administration and Cash Patel and
Christy Gnome and Tom Holman and uh
Bumino, the um the little mini Nazi as I
call him, that they all [ __ ] up and
murdered an American citizen. But she
begs Cash Battel to get the [ __ ]
together.
Yeah. I mean, director, somehow I it
you've got to get together with the
president's detractors, whether it is on
the Democrat side or not, to ensure that
we don't have mistakes like we've been
seeing, so that we are actually seeing
what you're talking about, taking down
people who deserve it and not in fact
getting people who are in the middle of
fire and in the middle of these
operations. Why is it that everything
you've just said the the the Democrats
do not agree?
It's not just the Democrats. A majority
of America I'm folks, I'm telling you,
you saw the polls about Renee Good. I'm
I'm confident of very little in politics
to make total predictions because it's
the most complicated field in existence.
For all intents and purposes, politics
and religion are incredibly complicated.
You make very few predictions. But one
thing I am willing to bet on is that the
polling for Trump and ICE and
immigration are going to be disastrous
once the polls take into account what
happened to Alex Prey. It's not just the
other half of this country. It's not
just the other side. It's a majority of
Americans, many of whom supported Trump.
They're losing. They're not holding
their own. It's not a difficult fight.
In the court of public opinion, in the
court of public polling, they are
getting their asses kicked. They're
getting curb stomped on the messaging
and public opinion war over this. They
are losing
in terms of the president's agenda.
Well, the Democrats are just upset that
it was President Trump that delivered
this historic year in law enforcement.
This is
again, he doesn't even address anything.
She's asking like, "Hey, listen." And
notice how she said, "You guys made a
mistake." So, Maria Bart Romo gave the
game away right there. As much as it
pains her to admit it, she knows Trump
was wrong. The Trump administration was
wrong, ICE was wrong, Border Patrol was
wrong, Christy Gnome was wrong, Cash
Patel is wrong. They're the bad guys
here. And Alex Prey was a victim, that
he did not deserve to die, that law
enforcement [ __ ] up. They're the
villains of the story, this specific
story at the very least. And Alex Prey
was the victim. She knows that she just
communicated that. And Cash Patel
doesn't want to address it. Well, Donald
Trump, you know, he gave a historic win.
He's just got a huge penis and everybody
loves a six-pack, too. Like, you know,
he's just one of like he's so muscular
and like he's handsome. Like, all the
ladies love him. And also the stamina.
Like, he he's this guy's not even
serious. He's a loser. Cash Patel is a
loser. And u in a in a more just world,
when a Democrat wins in 2028, all these
[ __ ] will be in jail for the
rest of their lives. So, when you lose
Maria Barto Romo, that should absolutely
terrify Trump. But, we'll see what
happens. In the meantime, let me know
what you think in the comments.
