Bannon`s War Room
Episode 5069: Minnesota And Tim Waltz Wants To Play Games Against Trump's America; Exclusive With David Hoch
15 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What is the current situation in Minnesota regarding federal actions?
My fellow Minnesotans, what's happening in Minnesota right now defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. Two to three thousand armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota.
Armed, masked, under-trained ICE agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live. They're pulling over people indiscriminately, including U.S.
Chapter 2: How are armed federal agents impacting local communities in Minnesota?
citizens, and demanding to see their papers. And at grocery stores, at bus stops, even at our schools, they're breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street, just plain grabbing Minnesotans and shoving them into unmarked vans, kidnapping innocent people with no warning and no due process. Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement.
Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.
We need to come back, go to the gun store, get a gun, learn how to use it, and face you guys man to man. by any means necessary. Department of Homeland Security claims the agent shot an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela during what it calls a targeted traffic stop.
While trying to detain the man, DHS agents apparently were attacked by two other people from a nearby apartment who, along with the migrant, attacked the officer with a snow shovel and a broom handle. This is the account given to us from DHS. Fearing for his life, the agent fired shots. hitting the migrant in the leg. That's also according to DHS. The agent and the migrant taken to the hospital.
The other two people involved were taken into custody. After the shooting, dozens of protesters gathered at the scene, confronting federal agents and swarming a Border Patrol vehicle. Fireworks were thrown at federal officers who responded with flashbangs and gas canisters. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry spoke late last night, calling on protesters to remain peaceful.
What I can tell you for certain is that this is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in.
And at the same time, we are trying to find a way forward to keep people safe, to protect our neighbors, to maintain order.
And we're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street, to stand by their neighbors. We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another. For anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop. That is not helpful.
Go home. We cannot counter Donald Trump's chaos with our own brand of chaos. And I have seen thousands of people throughout our city peacefully protesting. For those that have peacefully protested, I applaud you. For those that are taking the bait, you are not helping. And you are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city. You are not helping the people that call this place home.

Chapter 3: What rights do individuals have when approached by ICE agents?
Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Bullets? It's a bullet. Oh, no. But as bad as it's been, Donald Trump intends for it to get worse. This week, he went online to promise that, quote, the day of retribution and reckoning is coming.
That's a direct threat against the people of this state who dared to vote against him three times and who continue to stand up for freedom with courage and empathy and profound grace. All across Minnesota, people are stepping up to help their neighbors who are being unjustly and unlawfully targeted.
They're distributing care packages and walking kids to school and raising their voices in peaceful protest, even though doing so has made many of our fellow Minnesotans targets for violent retribution. Mexico! Mexico and Native Americans and Blacks, we belong here. Are you from Minneapolis? Man, I'm from Minnesota. There's no Westside. Westside. There's no Mexico.
How do you feel about the how do you feel about the attacks on your state by federal officers? Mother Trump is from Russia.
Deport them, too.
I think we start with the basics here, especially since a lot of these videos are showing otherwise. Can you go over the basic rights of people approached by ICE, citizens or non-citizens, people, and especially if they're in a car or in their home? Absolutely. So the videos that have been documenting what has been happening across the country are incredibly disturbing.
And many of those videos show that federal law enforcement officers, including ICE officers, are clearly violating people's rights. First, all people on American soil, regardless of their immigration or citizenship status, have a right under the First Amendment to engage in peaceful protest. Second, all people on U.S. soil, regardless of their citizenship status, have the right to due process.
That right to due process may look different based on whether a person is a U.S. citizen or whether they have been in the country for a shorter period of time without documentation. But under no circumstances should the Trump administration be summarily detaining, deporting people because they have engaged in peaceful protests
and speech that is disfavored by the federal government, by the Trump administration. And third, all people do have a right to remain silent when they are approached by federal law enforcement officers and state law enforcement officers. You have a right against self-incrimination. So you don't need to say what country you're from, where you were born.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Insurrection Act on Minnesota?
First, Donald Trump wants this chaos. He wants confusion. And yes, he wants more violence on our streets. We cannot give him what he wants. We can, we must protest loudly, urgently, but also peacefully. Indeed, as hard as we will fight in the courts and at the ballot box, we cannot and will not let violence prevail. You're angry, I'm angry.
Angry is not a strong enough word, but we must remain peaceful. Second, you are not powerless, you are not helpless, and you are certainly not alone. All across Minnesota, people are learning about opportunities, not just to resist, but to help people who are in danger.
Thousands upon thousands of our fellow Minnesotans are going to be relying on mutual aid in the days and weeks to come, and they need our support. Tonight, I want to share another way you can help. Witness. Help us establish a record of exactly what's happening in our communities. You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these activities.
So carry your phone with you at all times. And if you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution. The third thing I want to say to you tonight is we will not have to live like this forever.
Accountability is coming at the voting booth and in court. We will reclaim our communities from Donald Trump. We will reestablish a sense of safety for our neighbors, and we will bring an end to this moment of chaos, confusion, and trauma. We will find a way to move forward, and we'll do it together. and will not be alone.
Every day, we are working with business leaders, faith leaders, legal experts, and elected officials from across this country. They've all seen what Donald Trump is trying to do to our state, and they know their states could be next. Lofty accusations coming from the Department of Justice tonight. Look, I think, of course, we all cover politics and we're talking about politics.
This is something that's much bigger than politics. I really think we're in almost a dystopian situation right now.
We have a presidential aide, Stephen Miller, consumed with fanatical hatred of immigrants, particularly those with brown skin. You have a president who has a narcissistic need to dominate others.
And the toxic interaction between those two people is firing an administration agenda that at its core right now is about white supremacy enforced by violence.

Chapter 5: How is community support manifesting in response to federal actions?
And they're going crazy. But what they don't understand is that Trump's core base, the hardest core of MAGA, the people that have been with him from the beginning and had his back in the darkest days of 2021, this is not even close. The opposition here, the anti-American... anti-American republic have to understand... We demand mass deportation.
It's not the onesies, twosies you're seeing in Minnesota. You haven't seen anything yet. We're the biggest advocate of invoking the Insurrection Act and going in and cleaning out the mess. President Trump and Stephen Miller at home, they're trying to be very targeted and very precise on the criminal element. The criminal element is just the low-hanging fruit, let's say.
And what you see in Minnesota is an act of, they hate America. They hate American citizens. Dare I say they hate white people? They're adamant to protect the illegal alien invaders. These are not undocumented. They came here illegally and they are going to leave. We have said for a long time, this is where the rubber meets the road. This is where the fight's going to be. Bring it.
If waltz is the best you got and fry is the best you got and clobber is the best you got, bring it. And that scum in the streets, bring it. Let's invoke the Insurrection Act and let's do it today. Let's get up there and clean out that mess. Short break.

Chapter 6: What are the accusations against Governor Walz regarding federal funding?
Let's turn to some of the politics of this, including President Trump's. new threat just a short time ago to invoke the Insurrection Act. I remember you and I spoke in the spring when the National Guard was deployed to Los Angeles. The White House loved the images of the president being tough on crime, law and order, all the like.
And there were some who kind of privately hoped, well, maybe there'll be a confrontation that would further our political aims. That didn't happen then. But now, if the Insurrection Act is just to remind viewers, this would, if the president were to do it, and it would allow him to deploy U.S.
military forces, including the Federalized National Guard and active duty military troops to Minneapolis. I mean, there'd be lawsuits immediately, but that would be the idea here that he could do that. That would really escalate matters. And polls suggest Americans don't love how this is going already for the president. Risky bet.
Yeah, I think it also tempts Democrats to repeat the mistakes they've made in the past, too, namely flirting with abolish police and now abolish ICE.
Yes, two very different constructs, but it would be handing over the Republicans' fodder to beat up Democrats as soft on crime.
That's the broader hope. How do we control this narrative over who's for law and order, who's for controlling the streets? The other guys are the ones who are out of control. The other guys are the ones who are being excessive. And I think that's the real question here.
Right now, John, there's no question that most Americans believe it's ICE agents and this administration who are the ones who are acting out of control. The polling's unmistakable. But when you escalate as the Insurrection Act would, you do raise the possibility of inviting the other side to be the ones who are overreacting.
I don't want to compare everything to the 60s, but just watching that intro package, John, it's eerily similar to an earlier era in this country when you had an American president who was acting acting abroad in very controversial ways and divisive ways while there is disorder on the streets of American cities.
And that president, you know, President Nixon tried to sort of leverage that for his own political gain, talking about the silent majority. It's very similar now. And I think Trump in his second term is eager to get as many wins as he can, as fast as he can. And he's acting with lightning speed.

Chapter 7: How are local leaders responding to the chaos in Minneapolis?
And we'll play later that clip from the middle of that magnificent cold open, which I want to thank Real America Voice Denver and our own crack production team here at The Worm. It was a magnificent arc to that. Last night, we cut into the live stream. You can hear that feckless fry. And now you've heard Tim Waltz this morning. They're defying you.
Look, in this country, we either have sovereignty or we don't. The Tim Walts and that whole crowd and the funding. I'm going to get to Brat in a moment about Capitol Hill, the hapless Republicans now playing ball with the Democrats. So all this stuff will basically be funded. It's all still being funded. You have to draw a line somewhere. Let's just draw it right now.
By the way, send the troops in. Let's clean out this mess. Let's go to the employers. Let's get them all out of here, gone, and see who the country backs. The country will back Trump on this. The folks in this country, including Hispanic Americans and African Americans, will back this. They understand it's their health care that's being destroyed.
It's their education system that's being destroyed. It's their wages that are essentially being garnished. The elites have done this. The elites that hate the country The Marxists that now are partnered with the jihadists, they hate this country. They hate this country. They hate everything about it.
I've got some clips we couldn't put in there about people at a city council, I think it's in Ohio, that including some naturalized guy, he sounds like he's from Ireland. He says they're spitting on the Pledge of Allegiance. If you don't have allegiance to this nation, to this republic, get the hell out. And if we got to send the troops in to get them out, the American people will have your back.
Richard Nixon and the chaos that Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society and the new immigration law and the voting, all of it, it caused and Vietnam. They're doubling down, lying to your face in Vietnam, and then their constituents. Hated the draft because they didn't want to go serve the country, and I agree what was a mess. However, as soon as the draft went away, all the big riots went away.
Because all they cared about was themselves. They didn't care about the people in Vietnam. That was the whole hype they did in 67, 68. Oh, it's mining the harbors in Haiphong. They didn't care about that. They cared about their own skins. Nixon stared it down and won in a landslide. Let me repeat. Did I mention he won in a landslide?
Of which they had to then do the test case with lawfare to take him out. What they're doing against Trump. Mr. President, all these people are not just your enemies. They're your enemies because they're the enemies of this nation. They hate it. And the more they say undocumented individuals, they're here. They're illegal aliens that you folks brought in with all your different scams.
I don't know, 12, 15, 20, 25 million. I have no earthy idea how many. We just don't. I know officially they say 12 million. 12 million. Think about that for a second. What would the revolutionary generation say about this? What about the nation builders that follow them? What would they say about this, the Civil War generation, the great generation of the Great Depression, World War II?

Chapter 8: What future actions are being discussed to address the situation in Minnesota?
It's collapsing. Now they're shipping their money out of there. And no offense, the people that brought it on, that threw it, the Shah was all corrupt, as I'll get a bunch of evil, but they got the Brent Barris, got the son up there like some goofball. Do you honestly think they're going to put that back in? They threw those guys out. They brought this on themselves. They have to deal with it.
I'm sorry that people are being gunned down, but you brought it on yourself. You brought Islamic Republic, and the whole world should see what you have to do to get them out. We should continue to put strong economic pressure, economic warfare, sanctions, and guess what?
Stop the frickin' oil from coming out of the Straits of Hormuz and make China bend the knee, the CCP bend the knee, and cut the mullahs off. But the focus... of the sovereignty of this nation. The epicenter is Minnesota, but it's going to get worse when you go into New York. Just wait. They're going to try to shut down the government on not funding ICE. They're then going to come around.
And on February 1st, when President Trump cuts off the money, takes them off the tit in California, in Illinois, in New York, you watch. You watch what happens in the streets. It's going to explode. Let it explode. Let it explode. Go ahead. Fine. Let them get out of control. Bring in the army and put it down. Invoke the Insurrection Act. See how tough Tim Walz and see how tough these folks are.
Let's let's roll. They're going to break into cars and take guns and take weapons and get ammo. Implying and now they're all every you see these protests or they're throwing these firecrackers are almost like mini bombs. Trying to hurt. ICE agents who are just trying to do their job. And all they do is go on and on and on in every show. Oh, ICE, ICE, ICE.
They're revving people up to attack ICE officers who are just doing their job. And the job they're doing is just a criminal element. Let's roll in. Let's arrest some CEOs. Let's roll into all the companies. Boom. Let's do some mass deportations. Go to the schools, the hospitals, all of it. Mass deportations, mass deportations. It's going to have a little hair on it. It just is.
But you've got to clean it out. You know, Ecclesiastes says a time and place for everything, a season for everything. This is the season of taking our sovereignty. You've sealed the border. This is taking our sovereignty back. Don't blink. Finish what we started, not just the bad hombres. There's not that not simply the insane asylums and the jails and the criminal, all everything they sent here.
Yes, that is a significant portion of it. But that ain't that ain't the thing itself. It's the 12 or 15 million because we're going to have David Hogan. It's the business model. Soros and care put up some, some starter cash as the New York post shows. And then they get the federal government program. So you're funding it. And in Congress today, they're not cutting that. They don't want to cut it.
They don't want to find out. That's why David hoax, a national hero. It's their business model to take this country over from you. So it's real simple. Who's in charge. Are you in charge with your candidate that you back, Donald Trump, or are they in charge? Because this is what it's about. So let's do it. Let's just have it now. Why wait? Why push it down?
