I am going to tee off a bit on the cold open we just played for you.

That's everything going down in Minneapolis, across the state, all things ice, all things DHS, CBP commissioner.

You name it.

I think what you're seeing there, we can call it the phalanx of fraud.

We like the Praetorian Guard analogy here, too, in the war room.

But what you're seeing, I think, is a defense line form, essentially.

So you cannot get to the heart of what we are really probing in Minnesota.

It's not about the authority or the rights of Border Patrol officials, ICE agents.

Law enforcement, take your pick.

It's about the systemic fraud, not just that happened there, but that was pushed and urged on, turned a blind eye, if not outright incentivized by the elected leaders there of the Democrat Party on the state level, the local level, but most importantly, the national level.

I mean, let it sink in.

Tim Walz, how wild is it that a VP candidate, not that long ago, in a very alternate universe, he could be sitting in the White House right now.

Not only is he dropped out of the race, but his state is in complete and utter disarray over something that is really not all that radical, really a foundational issue of this country, sovereignty, border security.

The idea that our tax dollars should not be subsidizing a bunch of third-rate foreigners who hate this country are Islamic extremists.

That's being euphemistic and have no respect for this country.

And when they think about what it means to be American, that means how many government subsidies and programs can I get enrolled in so I can, I don't know, live off the welfare state?

That's their definition of what being an American means to them.

And I think it's quite telling for those of you who are maybe a little skeptical about the fraud, the large, vast swaths of it going down in Minnesota.

All the proof you need is the response that you're seeing.

I think they sometimes like to call it an antibody, right?
