What recent events are contributing to the insurrection in Minnesota?

Unknown 0:00

More towards autocracy than democracy. Just look at what we've seen this past week alone. To numerous Democrats in Congress who revealed that they're under investigation by Trump's Justice Department over protected speech and telling military members that they can refuse illegal orders. The same DOJ has launched criminal investigations into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, both Democrats, for speaking out against the ongoing immigration crackdown in their state. And at the same time, the president continues to threaten the use of the Insurrection Act to be able to deploy the military in Minnesota against the wishes of the state's leaders. To top it all off, Trump even floated the idea of canceling the midterm elections, given that his party's chances of holding the House do not look good.

Unknown 0:50

The White House claims he was simply being facetious. Tell us why you're doing this.

Reverend 0:54

This is Operation Pull Up, more of a clandestine operation. We show up somewhere that is a key location. They don't expect us to come there. And then we disrupt business as usual. So that's what we're about to go do right now.

Steve Bannon 1:08

Ice out! Ice out!

How is the Insurrection Act being invoked in Minnesota?

Steve Bannon 1:12

Ice out!

Reverend 1:16

Demanding justice for Renee Good and letting them know that this will not stand. They cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our community and who killed Renee Good, who almost killed a six-month-old baby. Enough is enough. I am a reverend on top of being a lawyer and an activist, so I come here in the power of the Almighty God. Renee Good.

1:53

Renee Good. Renee Good. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

What is Operation Pull Up and its significance?

2:01

Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

Unknown 2:02

Is the FBI conducting investigation into that agent, into the shooting? What can you tell us about that? Will it be made public? Look, what happened on that day has been reviewed by millions and millions of Americans because it was recorded on phones when it happened. The civil rights, the Department of Justice, our civil rights unit, we don't just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody or putting his life in danger. We never do. We investigate when it's appropriate to investigate. And that is not the case here. It wasn't the case when it happened, and it's not the case today. If circumstances change and there's something that we do need to investigate around that shooting or any other shooting, we will.

Unknown 2:47

But we are not going to bow to pressure from the media, bow to pressure from politicians, and do something that we never do, not under this administration, not under the last administration. And so, no, we are not investigating.

What are the implications of the DOJ's investigations into Minnesota leaders?

Unknown 2:59

And if there comes a time when we need to, we will, but it's not now. Where are you?

Reverend 3:07

Where are you?

Unknown 3:08

Where are you?

Reverend 3:09

Where are your people? Why are you not at Whipple every day fighting for the humanity, standing for our people? Where are you?

Unknown 3:16

You drink your coffee. You got your jewelry. You have your nice clothes. But what do you do? What do you do to stand up for your Somali and Latino communities? I'm not going to comment.

Steve Bannon 3:25

You have no comment. Exactly.

How is the current political climate affecting the upcoming elections?

Steve Bannon 3:30

Say your name good. Say your name good. Say your name good. Say your name good.

Reverend 3:33

This is unacceptable. It's shameful.

Steve Bannon 3:36

It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.

Unknown 3:45

I have to take care of my flock. Listen, we live in a, there's a constitution in the first amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.

3:53

Yeah.

Unknown 3:53

We're here to worship.

Steve Bannon 3:54

We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities. That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ. I want to be very respectful. Please don't push me though.

What are the key issues being discussed at Davos this year?

Steve Bannon 4:01

We're here. We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here.

Unknown 4:06

That's why we're here. That's what we're about. Don't you think Jesus would be understanding and love these folks? We're about spreading the love of Jesus. But did you try to talk to them as a Christian? No one is willing to talk. Okay.

Steve Bannon 4:17

I have to take care of my church and my family, so I ask that you actually would also leave this building.
