Chapter 1: What recent events in Minneapolis prompted Trump's comments on the Insurrection Act?
Our very own Mullah, our Ayatollah, our very own Shah, our very own monarch, the great glorious golden boy, Donald Trump. The great white hope. Is doing the damn thing again. Last night, his Gestapo forces shot someone once again in Minneapolis. And of course, people were very frustrated by this because there's already a lot of protests that are taking place.
And Burger Tola, Burger Shah, all of that, our burger monarch.
uh he's very frustrated and he said he's going to uh he's gonna he's gonna throw in the insurrection act he's gonna invoke the insurrection act what does that mean let's take a look cnn is now making a new and serious threat after protests in minneapolis like i can't understand how you go from iranian people rise up against your masters you have nothing to lose but your chains throw molotov cocktails at the police
to, like, the next day be like, I will use the military to kill you dead if you rise up against me. I will use the military to kill you dead.
Joining us now, Andrew McCabe, CNN senior law enforcement analyst and former deputy director of the FBI. Andrew, thanks so much for joining us. Last night, as you know, Minneapolis saw yet a new wave of very disturbing protests and clashes with police. One week ago was the ice shooting death of Rene Good, and now the president is threatening to invoke what's called the Insurrection Act.
Five years ago, Minneapolis was rocked by violent protests after the police murder of George Floyd. Andy, is Minneapolis sitting on a powder keg right now?
Absolutely they are, Wolf, and I think you saw that very clearly last night. I think the chaos, the escalation in violence, the overly tactical... I think you guys are forgetting when Waltz said he was going to call the National Guard, he literally said he was going to call the National Guard because he was worried the protesters would get out of hand.
He never said he was going to call the National Guard to defend... The way that law enforcement responded to that assemblage of protesters, they're all very obviously related to the fact that the law enforcement team on the ground having to deal with this situation is not one that is trained for or equipped for or experienced. in dealing with large crowd control. These are federal agents.
They're not police officers. There's not as many of them as you would need to handle a large crowd. Think about the way that we've seen effective law enforcement responses to large crowds, large protests, whether they be over the George Floyd death or whatever. You typically see a massive number of police officers in riot gear, not carrying shoulder-fired weapons, but rather carrying

Chapter 2: How does the Insurrection Act empower the President in times of unrest?
The eyes are not law enforcement yet. Cause Wolf blizzard is of agent of the regime. Just as, just as Asmongold is, you know what I mean? Like these guys are all just repeating whatever the regime is saying. The Trump regime says jump. They say how high. I really think this might be the most based post he's ever made. That's the automatic position of all mainstream media.
And it's also increasingly become the automatic position of many people who are doing regime media independently and, and like liberal media has no other speed. They will defend the status quo or even if they are like critical of what's going on, they'll still do it in a way that is like normalizing. Um,
That's why I sometimes joke and say, like, sometimes I'll joke and, like, cover what's happening in America in the same way that, like, CNN would cover what's happening in Iran, right? And if you were to do that, if you were to even it out, you would understand how ruthless and how cruel the Trump regime has been. It's just that... They don't do that.
Their job is to normalize the violence at the domestic level coming from the state and overemphasize the violence taking place in other states, especially foreign adversary states. ...way to regain territory and disperse the protesters. Right now, you have a much smaller force, totally focused on a tactical response.
Half of them are carrying M4s and other very heavy shoulder-fired weapons, rifles. This is a powder keg. And last night, you saw it just about go off.
Yeah. IT'S JUST NOT GOOD ALL AROUND, RIGHT? AND NOW YOU HAVE THE PRESIDENT THREATENING THIS MORNING TO INVOKE WHAT'S CALLED THE INSURRECTION ACT. HE SAID, QUOTE, IF THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS OF MINNESOTA DON'T OBEY THE LAW AND STOP THE PROFESSIONAL AGITATORS AND INSURRECTIONISTS FROM ATTACKING THE PATRIOTS OF ICE WHO ARE ONLY TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB, I WILL INSTITUTE THE INSURRECTION ACT.
of what the Insurrection Act is. It allows the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically and use that force against citizens. It can only be employed if there's an insurrection or interference with state or federal law. So, Andy, as a former deputy director of the FBI,
For the record, I just want to say something.
I know a lot of people misunderstood my point that I was making before, but this is precisely what I was talking about when I was saying that this is what the Trump administration's goals here are to basically keep up the intensity in this pressure cooker scenario, so much so that eventually someone takes matters into their own hands in an act of self-defense, and then they do this, and then martial law, right?

Chapter 3: What are the implications of using federal military forces against citizens?
Because this is the one step. The Insurrection Act is basically, a de facto martial law in the area that they're operating, but eventually it'll turn into a full-blown martial law around the country when other states also get mad and they start protesting, they start pushing for it. That's where we're at.
I wasn't saying that because I was like, oh, you should stop resisting or you should stop protesting or anything like that, which is how some charlatans read what I was saying. But I said, it's clear to me that the goal here is to keep escalating until something gives and people push back and then use that as a means to implement martial law and engage in mass repression.
Minnesota is a testing ground. But this is what I was talking about. You know, cancel the elections. Sorry, we have martial law. Nothing you can do about it. I think that's what the that's what the game plan is. That's why I've been saying over and over again that these guys are moving like they don't care that there is going to ever be another election.
The Trump administration, the Trump regime is moving like they don't care that there is going to be another election ever again. This is what I mean.
FBI and acting director, do you see any grounds to legitimize the use of the Insurrection Act here?
No, absolutely not. I think there's a lot of indicators on the ground that point towards the need for a much better and very different law enforcement response.

Chapter 4: How do past protests in Minneapolis influence current tensions?
This is, you know, we have had, unfortunately, violent protests in this country for a number of days. Like low key, not to get like Maoist third world is up in this bitch. But if America was too busy having like its own military engage in domestic repression.
This could present an opportunity for every other third world nation to do a bank run in American military bases that will remain unoccupied at that point. You know what I mean? That's all I'm saying.
If you're deploying the American military on American soil against American citizens and there's mass chaos and mass discontent, you've got 800 military bases around the world that are looking like prime real estate with a ton of weapons. That's all I'm saying. Perhaps...
this is something that the american government should take into consideration before they move in this weird reactionary way dude it's like uh hold on hold on uh what is it i want everyone in new york it's like this it's like this hold on hold on it's like if you're near a convenience store right now any type of 24-hour store go into the store right now and put your hand in the cash register for no reason
Their money is your money as of right now. Somebody just pushed their album back. I don't know who. Push it back. If you're near a convenience store right now.
If you're near a forward operating base right now, I want everyone to hear me in the third world. If you are near a forward operating base right now, any type of American military base, go to the base right now, put your hand in the ammunition, put your hand in the armory, and grab whatever rifle you can. It's free real estate. Funk finally retired, bro, as the OG sound effect merchant. Yeah.
You will figure it out. Throw on a YouTube video. Figure out how to drive one of those Abrams tanks. It's yours now. It's free. Those rifles are yours. Those guns are your guns now. That Abrams tank is yours. All you need is a YouTube video to figure out how to drive one of those motherf***ers. Or find the most autistic guy in your village. He probably plays War Thunder.
He already knows how to drive the Abrams tank. It's a fire sale. He got that s*** downloaded.
different reasons different issues over the last couple of years and in not one of them has any other president declared uh to bring in the united states military to take over a city under the insurrection act um what you have here is a you know the government unlike the response to george floyd this is an issue in which the government could very quickly de-escalate the tension and the violence on the ground simply by conducting their business differently

Chapter 5: What is the role of law enforcement in managing protests?
This is called a joke. It's not. But it is the government that's ratcheting up the tension and the violence here, and they could easily turn that off by simply conducting themselves differently.
Just really quickly to follow up, I mean, you had the situation with the shooting overnight, and DHS says that a Venezuelan national tried to flee and attacked the ICE officer trying to arrest him. I mean, in that situation, do you think a shooting was justified? In that case, he was shot in the leg, that Venezuelan national.
Well, it's very hard to say, Pamela, because we know almost nothing about this. And the reason is that the government's response, their comments in the media following the Rene Good shooting one week ago have proven to us all that we cannot take their statements for granted. We cannot accept what the government is telling us whole cloth.
They have no credibility in terms of the way that they are talking about and characterizing the people involved in these events. They absolutely mischaracterized, deliberately mischaracterized Ms. Good and her partner as terrorists. They are not terrorists. They didn't commit any act of terrorism. They haven't been alleged to have committed a crime with an indictment or anything like that.
So we know that we can't trust what the government is saying about what's happening on the ground. So now you think about what happened last night and we essentially know nothing at this point. So it's really hard to evaluate that.
We're waiting to hear from the Minnesota officials to get some more details because right now we only have the DHS side of things.
All right, Andrew McCabe, as usual, thank you very, very much.
Thank you. Joining me now is Robin Wansley, a Democrat on the Minneapolis City Council. I want to start with this. The president has just amped things up, saying he is threatening to use the Insurrection Act if things do not calm down there in Minneapolis, in Minnesota. What is your response to that?
Yeah, so just first want to offer clarification. I am the city's first black Democratic Socialist City Council member, a minority leader in terms of Trump threatening to use the Insurrection Act. I don't think any of us on the ground here are surprised.

Chapter 6: How does the media portrayal affect public perception of the protests?
And you don't see these riots and this vandalism taking place in states like Florida. Why? Because you have a governor in that state who has empowered federal and local authorities to work together. And it's despicable what we're seeing from these Democrat politicians, especially in sanctuary states and cities across the country.
The argument is so boring, it's always deranged. Is TDS, is the communism, is this and this? Yeah, what communism? Where's the communism? Can we have a little bit of communism, please? It seems to me like the only thing that is like communism is what we have decided is what communists do over there, but we have decided to do it over here.
Like all the negative aspects of what we associate with communism, we're literally doing here, even though it's not communism at all, with none of the benefits. I'm not talking about bread lines. We got bread lines, and we still have to pay for it. At least when they had bread lines, the government was paying for the bread. It's crazy. Oh, look at these ugly city blocks. They're so gray.
They're so ugly. Look at this brutalist architecture. Look at this government... Look at these government housing units. It's like, bitch, what's better? One million homeless people sleeping outside tonight or those government housing blocks? Give me the government housing blocks now. So there was another moment here where Donald Trump apparently told Reuters.
Donald Trump apparently told Reuters that he might, ha ha ha, cancel the midterms. Ha ha ha, just kidding. So there was a question that was brought up in the press briefing this morning, and Caroline Leavitt responded in the way that you expect. Let's take a look. Yeah, he had an interview with a Reuters journalist, and he was like, maybe I just cancel the midterms.
Unless, unless nobody's going to stop me. Who's going to stop me? Are you going to stop me? Everyone's telling me elections are silly. Elections are silly. It's boring. It's woke. It's woke. So, yeah, this guy follows up on it.
president's interview with lawyers, you said that he was joking about canceling the elections. But Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy, for this democracy. Are you saying that the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny? Andrew, were you in the room? No, you weren't. I was in the room. I heard the conversation.
And only someone like you would take that so seriously and pose it at a question in that way.
Yeah, dude, just like when President Trump, when he was campaigning to become president, was like, Project 2025, don't know what that is. Never read it. Don't like reading. Don't know how to read. I'm illiterate, folks. What do you mean, Project 2025? What the fuck is that?

Chapter 7: What are the consequences of escalating violence in Minneapolis?
When he makes these sorts of f***ing jokes, it's not actually a joke. We can't be going, ha ha, he's just joking, right? Like when he says, like... I'm going to take Greenland by force because I also made the mistake of thinking, well, that's just insane. That's not going to happen. But it turns out he very much intends to do so. And it kind of feels like no one can stop him.
So let's just stop with this like, oh, I'm just joking. He's not testing out his comedy material, okay? He's testing out his policy material. That's what he's doing when he's just joking. Like, we have... The president threatening to sick the American military on people in Minneapolis, Minnesota today while simultaneously saying maybe we canceled the elections with martial law. That's not a joke.
That's just what he's saying he's going to do. White House press secretary calls reporter left wing hack.
Thanks Caroline. Earlier you were just defending ICE agents generally. And earlier on Secretary Noem spoke to the media and she said, among other things, that they are doing everything correctly.
To be fair, this guy is a left wing hack. Okay.
Two people died in ICE custody last year. 170 US citizens were detained by ICE and Renee Goode was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly? Why was Rene Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
Are you asking? They let him in because he said he was an Irish Republican and they thought it meant the same thing in America. They didn't realize it means something different over there.
Me, my opinion? Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed an unjustifier. Oh, okay. So you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. What do you want me to do?
Fuck you, dude. God damn, dude. What the fuck? Oh my God, they got nothing up there, man. They got nothing. It's just worms for brains. These people have like, it's like a tin can up there with quarters just hitting both sides of an otherwise empty brain, empty skull.
