They're going into our churches now and menacing the faithful as they do nothing but sit there and pray and worship, as you might do on a Sunday. That was happening this weekend in St. Paul, where a group of left-wing lunatics, anti-ICE terrorists,

154.522 - 180.584 Vince

they go into the city's church, this is a Baptist church in St. Paul, in order to hunt down one of the pastors. It turns out that the basis for this, insofar as you can establish any rational basis, is there is a pastor at this church by the name of David Easterwood, He is not just a pastor. He's also the acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota.

181.004 - 202.264 Vince

So what these lunatics decided to do was to hunt him down. Now, he's not there for that service. He wasn't leading that particular service, but didn't stop the mob from pouring into the building. Take a look here. Cut four. Now they're coming for the churches. Watch.

204.218 - 232.648 Unknown

Renee Good! Renee Good! Renee Good! Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are your people? Why are you not at Whipple every day fighting for the humanity, standing for our people? Where are you? You drink your coffee, you got your jewelry, you have your nice clothes. Nice lives with your lattes, doing absolutely nothing for your Latino and Somali brothers and sisters.

232.888 - 254.435 Unknown

You come here to a man wearing a suit. Is a preacher? Did Jesus wear a suit? Did Jesus profit off the words? No! Jesus would die within minutes. Do not touch me. Touch me again and see what happens. You are a fake Christian. Why are you not standing with your Somali and Latino communities? Why do I not see you out at Whipple every day protesting this attack on humanity? Where are you?

Chapter 3: How did protests escalate in St. Paul this weekend?

495.46 - 523.243 Vince

That's what the church should do. And while I'm on that subject, stay strapped. Pastors, ministers, the faithful, the congregants, the ushers, whoever you need, we should protect our churches. It is not only a right to protect that church, I think it's an obligation. It is a reasonable thing. In fact, I think it should be considered a required thing.

0

523.342 - 546.345 Vince

to have the good men of the church armed inside of that building just for the protection of the faithful. God willing, you never have to be in a situation where you have to defend the people in that room. But should that occasion arise, the faithful need to be prepared. It's not unreasonable. In fact, it's highly reasonable to be ready. Just be ready. Protect the flock.

0

547.321 - 562.849 Vince

And so this church gets invaded this weekend. Now it's a Baptist church, which I just, it makes me think about the fact that today is Martin Luther King Day. Of course, people refer to him as the Reverend Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King was a Baptist minister, a Baptist minister.

0

562.981 - 583.065 Vince

He was, of course, gunned down by a radical lefty, somebody who was a follower of George Wallace, James Earl Ray. And this is like, you know, that detail almost seems like never mentioned in American history these days, but that is true. A completely radical lefty assassinating Martin Luther King Jr.

0

584.127 - 611.151 Vince

MLK's mother, a couple of years later, would be murdered in church, inside of Ebenezer Baptist Church. uh by uh uh what was it what do they call themselves a black radical a black uh hebrew nationalist who goes in and murders her. And so are churches ever attacked? Yes, they are. And do radical lefties do this often? Unfortunately, and increasingly.

611.191 - 636.34 Vince

How many shootings have we seen conducted at churches, oftentimes by people who have been overtaken by transgender ideologies? We've seen it at Christian schools. Christians in the United States, clearly under attack, clearly. And so this weekend, you get a bunch of leftists who now storm a church in the service of adding to that. That's just awful. It is just awful.

636.623 - 658.885 Vince

And among the people who were in the building was Don Lemon. Now, you remember Don Lemon, perhaps? Former CNN host. These days, he is a view hustler on the Internet. He's just trying to find ways to get people to watch his videos. And the way he's doing it is some of the most noxious, poisonous stuff you've ever seen. Here's Don Lemon.

658.865 - 681.304 Vince

joining in on the raid on this church, joining the demons who poured into this church to yell at everyone about how they're not Christian. How about that? Imagine sitting in a church service and then you get evil people who are trying to foment chaos and protect the most vile criminals in our society. The rapists, the murderers, the very people ICE are picking up.

681.685 - 694.178 Vince

These guys raid the church and then scold you for not being a good Christian? That's the devil's work. And Don Lemon joined in on it this weekend. Here he is turning that service into a spectacle.

Chapter 4: What is the FACE Act and how does it relate to church protests?

1093.414 - 1108.842 Vince

Okay, good. Wonderful to have a full investigation launched. Wonderful to see every level involved in this, from the White House to the Attorney General to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, precisely what we want. But there's one more thing we want.

0

1109.503 - 1123.367 Vince

We want those handcuffs aggressively and quickly placed on every single animal who would pour into a Christian church and pull that stunt this weekend. All of them. Get them and do it now. Do it yesterday.

0

1124.088 - 1147.109 Vince

Time is of the essence because things are getting way too dicey and the public needs the clearest possible expressions that these types of violations of the law and certainly of the First Amendment will be put down quickly. Now, I mentioned Don Lemon. Don Lemon was one of the guys, Harmeet Dhillon has been posting a lot about this in the last 24 hours.

0

1147.55 - 1165.863 Vince

And some of the posts have been about Don Lemon's behavior. So in other words, Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, is paying attention to Don Lemon's behavior inside of that church yesterday. Well, Don is spazzing out this morning that Harmeet Dhillon is on his trail.

0

1166.684 - 1188.793 Vince

And he even, in this video I'm about to show you, he even intentionally mispronounces her name, which, by the way, is, I think, a sign of racism if I'm following the rules of the left correctly. If you ever said Kamala Harris's name incorrectly, you were a racist. So Don Lemon, obviously racist for mangling Harmeet Dhillon's name as he tries to belittle her. But

1188.773 - 1197.745 Vince

I don't think he's going to win this bout, not when you've got a federal prosecutor breathing down your neck. Here's Don Lemon spazzing out about what is developing right now. Watch.

1198.526 - 1226.538 Don Lemon

MAGA administration and the fake news MAGAs are losing their mind over something that's not even true. So let me just make it clear. Is this an assistant attorney general? I don't know. Something Hemant Dhillon or whatever. Racist. I had no affiliation to that organization. I didn't even know they were going to this church until we followed them there. We were there chronicling protests.

1227.439 - 1248.313 Don Lemon

Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved, which included the pastor, members of the church, and members of the organization. That's it. It's called journalism. First Amendment, all that stuff. For all of you people who believe in the First Amendment, absolutist. There you go.

1248.573 - 1266.778 Don Lemon

So why don't you talk to the actual person who is in charge of the organization and whose idea it was to have the protests at the church before you start blaming me for stuff for which you have no idea. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Chapter 5: Why is the DOJ investigating Tim Walz and Jacob Frey?

All right, I'm happy to have joining us right now one of the great journalists out there who gets on the ground amidst all of this chaos. Julio Rosas is here. He's an author, nationally known independent field reporter. He's a Marine. Julio, good to have you with us today, sir.

0

2005.011 - 2009.237 Vince

Yeah, Vince, thanks for having me. Okay, so where are you reporting from right now, Julio?

0

2010.499 - 2015.727 Julio Rosas

So I'm currently in the frozen tundras of Minneapolis in the St. Paul area.

0

2017.41 - 2019.313 Vince

What have you seen this weekend?

2020.981 - 2044.643 Julio Rosas

Well, so it's just a continuation of what we've seen basically since the shooting of Rene Good. And what I mean by that is a lot of people are still very angry about it. They're angry over the other shooting that took place that where, you know, apparently three people were attacking an ICE agent and he had to shoot in self-defense. So they're...

2044.623 - 2054.113 Julio Rosas

Despite the weather, they're still very amped up about it. And really, I think this is very much a warning sign of what's to come for this year.

2054.233 - 2073.432 Julio Rosas

Because if people are willing to be out there when it's 10 degrees, 30 degrees outside, it was also quite windy yesterday by the federal building, they're willing to come out in significant numbers to cause chaos and to cause mayhem and to fight against federal agents in January in Minneapolis.

2073.631 - 2095.624 Julio Rosas

That doesn't bode too well for the rest of the country once it gets warmer, where it's easier for people to be outside for hours and hours on end. And so this is really the, like I said, this is really kind of the first warning sign of what's to come for this year, because obviously the deportations and immigration enforcement isn't going to stop anytime soon.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Insurrection Act being invoked?

2997.417 - 2998.057 Unknown

You a fucking coward.

0

2998.078 - 3019.489 Vince

Random Somalis then start yelling at him. He's got to get out of here as if he's not in the United States of America. You gotta leave. What do you mean I gotta leave? It's America. I'm standing on an American street in an American city. How about you leave? And they're screaming at him. The guy just had thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment stolen from him.

0

3019.59 - 3038.479 Vince

I saw that it was, I believe it was Mike Davis. the great Mike Davis of the Article 3 Project, who jumped in on X this weekend and said, don't worry, Nick, I've got you covered. He made a big contribution to Nick's reporting, donated some money to him on Venmo, and he said, I gave you enough to get two cameras to replace the one that they stole from you.

0

3038.459 - 3059.165 Vince

So Nick getting that new gear, which is good news. That means he can stay out there, keep capturing all of this. Nick's got to stay safe, though. Every time I talk to him, and just like Julio, all these guys, stay safe. All these people are covering their faces. Do what you can. Kind of maintain that low profile. Get the mask on, whatever is necessary. But man, they're going absolutely crazy.

0

3059.225 - 3083.446 Vince

How sad that you can't, as a journalist, cover what's going on in an American community without being assaulted. If you're going to tell the truth, That's perilous. That's perilous. My buddy Chris Plan often says, nothing gets you in trouble like the truth. Nothing. And Nick's doing that. Yeah, that's crazy. So yeah, no, Nick, somebody asked, did he report it to the police?

3083.466 - 3105.079 Vince

Yeah, I think they did right away. In fact, in the longer footage, Nick is instantly asking his colleagues if anybody's called 911 yet. And yes, they do have... At least they do have the license plate captured on camera. So, yeah, they're chasing this guy down. Hopefully we get more answers on that really soon. Somebody says, hey, Vince. Who is this? Fritz231.

3105.139 - 3129.073 Vince

Hey, Vince, at least Haley shows up clean shaven. Hey, it's MLK Day. I don't know. I just felt like I'd grow the beard out a little bit. And... Yeah, you're right. Haley's much better looking. What do you want? What do you want me to do? I don't think it matters if I shave. I think she's going to beat me in that category. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. I hope Julio is armed, says DLRice64.

3129.093 - 3150.428 Vince

Yeah, I hope so, too. These guys just need to stay safe. And staying strapped is a good way to do it. It's a very good way to do it. Uh, yes, indeed. Somebody likes the beard. Thank you. Thank you! I'm gonna shave it tonight, though. Beards get frustrating very quickly. And then I have to shave them. And get rid of them. That's always the plan.

3151.184 - 3173.495 Vince

All right, so that's the big news out of Minneapolis right now. The chaos continues, and you and I are desperate for operations here to go after these guys. That really needs to happen. The feds are charging all sorts of people. Did you see that the federal government has just charged a man who threatened to kill J.D. Vance. Do you see that?
