Chapter 2: How are the arrests of leftist church invaders being handled?

138.423 - 155.16 Vince

The arrests have begun. I told you this week, we've had a lot of conversations on this. I'm like you, I just want arrests. I want justice so badly. So I'm banging on the doors of the Justice Department. Ladies and gentlemen, what is happening over there? And God bless Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

0

155.18 - 172.101 Vince

She stopped by with us this week to say, Vince, I'm telling you, we saw crimes on that tape in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are arresting these people. That is definitely going to be happening. And then we got the news that the attorney general of the United States was headed to Minneapolis this week. She heads off to Minnesota.

0

172.481 - 193.27 Vince

Then we get the news that the vice president of the United States is set to be in Minnesota today as well. That's Thursday today. And, you know, I'm sorting through this with you and I'm looking at this going, guys, all these people don't go to Minnesota unless they have something to show for it. Imagine showing up there empty handed, nothing to show for it. No justice on the way.

0

193.25 - 204.31 Vince

Well, the good news this morning as we begin live at 10 a.m. Eastern, rumble.com slash Vince, is we've got the Attorney General of the United States telling us the arrests have absolutely begun.

0

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the recent arrests in Minnesota?

204.931 - 227.509 Vince

Minutes ago at my direction, Pam Bondi posted to X this morning. That's 928 today. The Homeland Security investigations and FBI agents have executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far, we have arrested. So far, we have arrested. In other words, more are coming. We have arrested Nekima Levi Armstrong.

0

227.489 - 246.865 Vince

look nikima levi armstrong this is the woman by the way who was just on the cable news networks in the last 24 hours insisting that she was totally welcome in the church of course they were tormenting the children inside of that church disrupting the service breaking federal law nikima levi armstrong is now in the fo phase she's been arrested

0

246.845 - 268.963 Vince

Pam Bondi says she was allegedly playing a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on City's church in St. Paul, Minnesota. We will share more updates as they become available. She says, listen loud and clear, we do not tolerate attacks on places of worship. Good news. Now, Pam Bondi also posted a second update just a few minutes ago.

0

269.043 - 293.203 Vince

This is 13 minutes ago now as we begin our program update. A second arrest has been made at my direction. Chantelle Louisa Allen has also been taken into custody. More to come. We will protect our houses of worship. Of course, in our chat, people citing the fact that Don Lamont was inside that building. He, too, was among the people breaking that federal law.

0

293.224 - 314.13 Vince

He's been insisting that it's just because I'm a journalist. I was just there for journalism. He spent all day feeding and helping and coordinating with and learning the secrets of and not sharing with the public the reality that they were going to storm that church. And then after they did, he celebrated it. saying that tormenting children and leaving them traumatized is the way protest is done.

314.431 - 330.297 Vince

Of course, that's not the way protest is done. That's the way terrorism is done. And Don Lemon was there and very helpfully for the rest of us, given that he's an idiot, captured all of it on camera. So the evidence of his crimes captured by his cameras which he then went on to share with the public.

330.317 - 346.416 Vince

So we await the Don Lemon arrest, which to be clear, you know, you've watched this week as you have a lot of these officials saying, yeah, Don Lemon's definitely in play. Kristi Noem said now two nights ago, Don Lemon is absolutely in play. for what he's done.

346.476 - 368.455 Vince

You heard from Harmeet Dhillon, who spoke to me on this program, on our radio show, and of course you got to hear it on this program, as she says, you can't just call yourself a journalist and use that as a shield while you commit federal crimes. It doesn't work that way. And so now we get the breaking news this morning that these guys are being arrested. So that's good. I'm happy about that.

368.495 - 380.903 Vince

I was concerned that I would have to start this show today with yet another update that, yeah, they are telling us the arrests are on the way, but we have to keep waiting for them. That's a frustrating place to be in. Good to see the arrests are occurring.

Chapter 4: How does the FBI's involvement impact local law enforcement?

411.758 - 430.482 Vince

We've been asking for it, and now we're getting it. That's great news. That's very good news this morning. Okay, let's see. As we begin with that breaking news, I got to tell you that the horrors in Minnesota continue, though. That's something that I'm really, really ticked off about.

0

431.558 - 462.003 Vince

We have a mob of insurrectionists who are now stalking, they have been, but this is, it's getting more and more flagrant and brazen. They've been stalking and assaulting border patrol agents, stalking and assaulting border patrol. And the way this story gets to us is we see video yesterday. This is late yesterday breaking viral video from a Speedway gas and convenience store.

0

462.063 - 475.048 Vince

You ever see one of these Speedways Speedway, which I looked it up yesterday. It was a couple of years ago was purchased by 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven actually operates Speedway. thousands of Speedway stores across the country. And this is one Speedway location.

0

475.109 - 489.294 Vince

Border Patrol agents, according to the Department of Homeland Security, had been stopping at a variety of places to gas stations to use the bathroom. They're literally stopping because Despite the left's claims, they're human beings who need to stop for bathroom breaks.

0

489.755 - 516.1 Vince

And so ICE and Border Patrol, including a great guy called Greg Bovino, who's become the face of, in so many ways, of this rational, sober, thoughtful, and deliberative immigration enforcement. His name is Commander Greg Bovino. He's there. And these guys are in uniform. And the Speedway store refuses to serve the Border Patrol Watch this, this video.

516.14 - 522.167 Vince

Take a look as a Speedway employee says, you're not welcome here. You will not be served here. Cut one, watch.

522.828 - 548.775 Unknown

Do you work here? Do you work here? Yeah. You guys kicked him out? Yeah. What's your opinion on it? Why'd you kick him out? Because I wanted to. Okay. We don't support ICE and nobody here does. And so he's not allowed service here? Nope. We don't support ICE. Commander Bovino, is it legal to deny service to federal agents? If it is, I presently don't care.

550.342 - 569.942 Vince

If it is, I personally don't care. I don't care if I'm running afoul of the law in any capacity here. What you're witnessing is the same exact thing that Democrats have served throughout history, which is to deny people service on the basis of their identity, their job, their skin color. It's happening again.

570.042 - 588.602 Vince

Greg Bovino and all of the great men and women of law enforcement getting thrown out of a gas station. They merely want to stop, use the bathroom, purchase some items, purchase some gas, whatever it is, getting ejected on the basis of the fact that they're law enforcement. Now, I'll remind you the same thing that President Trump has been talking about all week.

Chapter 5: What is the background of the SAVE Act discussed in the episode?

633.198 - 655.476 Vince

today border patrol agents who were in the minneapolis st paul area as a part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks dhs said at each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom groups of agitators appeared yelled at them stalked them

0

655.456 - 674.863 Vince

and even tried to prevent law enforcement officials from leaving, creating unsafe conditions. Now, at one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents. Not allowed to throw food at law enforcement. Did people know how this works exactly? At their final gas station stop, somebody spit on an agent, which is assault.

0

675.885 - 697.697 Vince

When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowd tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them. To safely clear the area, agents had to use crowd control measures to disperse the hostile crowd. So let me understand this. So border patrol agents are moving from location to location. They're just trying to get some bathroom breaks in.

0

698.137 - 719.696 Vince

They're working to bring peace to this community. They're being stalked by terrorists during their entire job. Where's the Minneapolis Police Department? In what world can you follow law enforcement around to menace them and obstruct their jobs and you don't end up with handcuffs on you? How does that work exactly? I couldn't in a million years imagine doing something like that.

0

719.976 - 721.66 Vince

And here these guys are doing this.

721.741 - 746.483 Vince

then they get they get out of the vehicles they follow them they're attacking them they're throwing food at them they're spitting on them and then when agents actually try to defend themselves and enforce the law and take people into custody who are assaulting them the rest of the crowd leaps in to assault the agents as they try and do their jobs and we're supposed to keep saying this is not an insurrection is this what what am i looking at here this is an insurrection

747.374 - 750.099 Vince

And I say this with all love in the world for President Trump.

Chapter 6: How does the SAVE Act aim to secure elections in the U.S.?

750.219 - 768.69 Vince

I'm so happy that he's overseas working on this peace deal right now. In fact, this morning he announced another big peace deal. They've got this peace board set up for Gaza for its reconstruction. He's dealing with all these world leaders. That's going really well. We've got breaking news overnight that he's got a deal with Greenland. Amazing. Love that.

0

769.666 - 787.736 Vince

But as he's flying back to the United States on Air Force One, I hope that he's looking at what you have to say on all of this. I hope he's looking at all of this video footage coming to us from Minnesota. I hope J.D. Vance can give him an on-the-ground report of what he's encountering, who he's talking to, what he's finding out when he gets back from his trip to Minnesota today.

0

788.117 - 803.757 Vince

Because President Trump needs to invoke the Insurrection Act. We need the Insurrection Act. How many more examples do we need? How many more examples do we need? People feel like they can chase law enforcement around, assault them, and then just get away with it.

0

804.209 - 824.971 Vince

If you have an entire community of left-wing insurrectionists who've arrived at this conclusion, it clearly means we need the Insurrection Act. The founders came up with the Insurrection Act for this very reason. Let's employ it. Let's employ it. It's been employed 30 times in American history by American presidents, a lot of times in the last century. Now's the time to do it again.

0

825.672 - 848.341 Vince

I'm not asking for any sort of tyrannical behavior. I'm not asking to hurt people needlessly. All I'm asking for is justice. And the mob was stalking the Border Patrol for hours, as you hear DHS say. Watch this. Here's video of the mob just stalking Border Patrol, stalking immigration enforcers as they try and do their jobs. Cut to, watch.

852.587 - 875.665 Vince

Whistles surrounding them, screaming at them, phones in their faces. And this is the light work. This is before they're assaulting them. This is before they're assaulting. And then the assaults begin. And then these guys have to fight their way out of this peril. Think about this. Law enforcement has to fight its way out of this complete atrocity.

876.507 - 894.223 Vince

You can see here in this video, here's Greg Bovino. pulling his own gas canister. Now you've got the boss throwing gas canisters and warning the crowd, I'm about to throw the gas. Get out of the way. I'm about to throw it. Now, this is pretty generous. Usually, law enforcement doesn't give you this many warnings. Here he is warning them, and then he throws it. Cut three. Watch.

897.697 - 923.255 Jonathan Fahey

Gas, gas, gas, they throw it. You see these green clouds of tear gas going up.

Chapter 7: What arguments are made regarding election integrity?

923.275 - 947.183 Vince

These guys are trying to fight their way out of a city block. surrounded by these lunatics. Some of them are blowing rape whistles. This is their tactic, run around and blow whistles because they want to notify illegal aliens who've raped children in America that ICE may be coming for them. You see, that's why they're rape whistles, to protect the rapists.

0

947.423 - 973.14 Vince

That's what they're doing in Minneapolis right now. Gas is coming, Greg Bovino says. Man, he's got the patience of a saint. And then you got the video here, Border Patrol agents wrestling these attackers into custody. Some of them, cut four. Look at this. They're dragging some of these idiots away, and rightfully so.

0

973.38 - 978.366 Vince

But imagine, you're making an arrest, and in the middle of it, you're being assaulted by the lunatics around you.

0
0

988.147 - 1013.871 Vince

Emotional incontinence on display, people screaming, let her go, let him go. Don't arrest the guy who just broke the law. They're being arrested, thrown in the cars as Border Patrol tries to escape this scene. Craziness, utter craziness. So it just goes back to, yeah, somebody asked, Nair in Florida asked a really simple question. Does anybody work? What is it? This is the middle of the day.

1013.911 - 1035.67 Vince

There's sunlight out. And everybody, these lefties are all in the street chasing down law enforcement, who, by the way, are actually working. Those guys are actually doing their job. A thankless job for the most part. I'm thanking them. You're thanking them. But in Minnesota right now, all they're getting is attacked. Attacked. Invoke the Insurrection Act. Now. Firestorm 57. Insurrection Act. Now.

1036.274 - 1065.555 Vince

I totally agree. Totally 100% enthusiastically agree. It's long past due. So that's what we're dealing with. We've got these guys attacking law enforcement. Now, it's not the first time. That video I just showed you of Greg Bovino, you probably know his name because not only has he become such a great face of immigration enforcement, but also because the left wants to kill him.

1066.548 - 1093.18 Vince

Illegal aliens want that man dead. And as we speak, a jury is deliberating in a trial on that very crime. I've got more information on that in just a moment. We've got a lot to get to on this edition of Vince. We'll also be joined by Jonathan Fahey, the former ICE director. We'll get his reaction to what is going on in America. There's a lot to get to here ahead on this program.

1093.565 - 1115.185 Vince

are you worrying about the upcoming credit card bills the upcoming credit card bills after the holidays if you're a homeowner there's really no better time than right now to call american financing and wipe out that debt eliminate the stress set yourself up for a very strong 2026. the fed dropped rates for the fourth time in december and american financing can help you access the equity that's in your home

Chapter 8: What are the potential political consequences of the current events?

1142.55 - 1167.264 Vince

So just do yourself a favor. Call them today. 888-879-6460. That's 888-879-6460. Americanfinancing.net slash fence. Thank you to American Financing, great sponsor of our program. So, yeah, ICE is still chugging along. They're still doing the work, which is great. And they're picking up the most violent people imaginable.

0

1167.284 - 1187.655 Vince

I saw DHS at the president's instruction has put up a big website on the subject. And you can see all of the disgusting people that they're picking up off of our streets. 10,000 people, by the way, 10,000. That's not a small number. Arrested in Minneapolis. That's huge. And so that work continues. J.D. Vance there today to root on law enforcement.

0

1187.936 - 1206.575 Vince

And my guess is to also make a big announcement related to these arrests, which is which is great. We are we're going to keep an eye on Pam Bondi's X account, see if anything happens during the show here, because I'd like for a third arrest and a fourth arrest and a fifth arrest and a sixth arrest and a Don Lemon arrest and all of these arrests to be made today.

0

1207.176 - 1225.768 Vince

We'll keep an eye on on Pam Bondi's operation. Speaking of Don Lemon, have you noticed that there's no lefties who are even bothering to defend them right now? Like, there's nobody even speaking up for him. Like, in the old days, they did when he was still part of the CNN operation, but now, like, nothing. Nothing. They're not even talking. Because everybody knows that Don Lemon was in on it.

0

1226.69 - 1244.211 Vince

The other guy I'm looking forward to being arrested is that guy William Kelly, that insane person. I think he's truly mentally insane, but, man, that guy needs to be taken out of polite society. Put handcuffs on that dude. He raids the church. He's screaming in the face of kids, and he's yelling at people. My favorite thing he was yelling was, why are you dressed so nice?

1244.191 - 1266.217 Vince

You're a white supremacist for being dressed nice. You know why they were dressed nice, William Kelly, you idiot? They're at church. You dress nice for church. You don't go in in your haggard hoodie screaming in the faces of worshipers. Turns out you're the jackass here, not the people who are going to church dressed like they're going to church. The bearded jackass says that Joe 75.

1266.277 - 1286.089 Vince

Yeah, totally. All right. He is a lunatic. I agree, Nancy Duncan. I think something's wrong with that guy. Put him in a straitjacket. President Trump keeps talking about getting the insane asylums back open. Throw that guy in there. So we got Greg Bovino. Greg Bovino, you'll remember earlier this year, there was a bounty put out on Greg Bovino's head.

1287.011 - 1314.763 Vince

That is to kill a member of the Border Patrol. And as a result, what we saw was the Trump administration made an arrest of an illegal alien Latin Kings gang member by the name of Juan Espinoza Martinez, a 37-year-old, a 37-year-old. And he's here illegally in the country. So for every reason, this guy should not be in our country. And we've got, let me see here.

1315.464 - 1334.442 Vince

We've got the jury deliberating right now. Fox News reports a federal jury is weighing the case as we speak, centered on whether a Chicago man's Snapchat messages amounted to a genuine murder-for-hire plot targeting a senior U.S. Border Patrol official or reckless talk shared online. Wait, wait a second. Hold on.
