Chapter 1: What immigration changes has Trump implemented recently?
Hey everybody, welcome to Vince on a Thursday. It is so good to have you with us as always. We've got a big show ahead for you. The President of the United States is using a phrase that I've been encouraging him to straight up invoke, the Insurrection Act. We'll talk about what just took place in Minnesota overnight, more chaos there, as the President says it is time to tackle it. Will he do it?
We're encouraging him. We'll talk about it. It's all ahead on this program. We'll also be joined by the Heritage Foundation's Dr. Kevin Roberts. A lot to talk about with him and a lot more to get to all on the show ahead. But first, I want to thank the great sponsors of this program. I want to talk to you about something I've been watching very closely. Will the Fed cut rates again this quarter?
Everybody's got an opinion on that subject, but I like checking the actual market sentiment on Kaoshi. I've got their app on my phone, and the odds are saying that, you know, are taking a look at this thing right now, and everyone's placing their guesses as to whether or not this is actually going to happen. And honestly, I do think it's going to happen. I think they're going to make another cut.
We'll see. Cal State is one of the only places where you can trade on real-world events in all 50 states. It's not just politics or economics. They've got markets on everything from inflation numbers to sports to pop culture. I like using Kalshi to track the odds and see what people are betting on. It's like getting a pulse on what the world thinks is going to happen.

Unbelievable, just the violence, the chaos, the rioting once again in Minneapolis overnight, more pandemonium. And here's how this thing begins.
Yesterday, we find out from Trisha McLaughlin, a spokeswoman at the Department of Homeland Security, that federal agents were attempting to arrest a man from Venezuela, I think you can safely assume illegal alien, who was of course in the country illegally, the New York Times confirms, in a targeted traffic stop at around 6.50 last night, 6.50 p.m. local time. She said that he fled from agents.
He made a break for it. When the officer caught up to him, Trisha McLaughlin explained he began to resist and violently assaulted the officer. That is when two more people came out of a building and along with the man who they were trying to take into custody, the illegal Venezuelan, began attacking the ICE officer with a snow shovel and a broom handle. They began striking the officer.
So now it's three on one. They've got weapons. What does the officer do? Well, they say he feared for his life and he fired shots and he struck the man, the illegal, who the agents were trying to take into custody, in the leg, said Tricia McLaughlin.

Chapter 2: What incident sparked chaos in Minneapolis?
And they begin jumping and kicking it. Jumping on it and kicking it. Is that going to open a locked safe? Are you people really that stupid? And the answer, of course, is yes. So many of the people on the ground are really that stupid. The collective IQ of that group. Probably doesn't break triple digits. We're probably still around room temperature for everybody here. Look at this.
And then they start trying to pound the lock with a hammer, and that doesn't work. And at one point, some dude picks up the safe and then throws it on the ground, thinking that the safe is going to open. And then finally, they meander away because they failed to defeat the padlock on a safe. And then they're like, I don't think there's anything in there anyway. So then they just surrender.
These are not the toughest opponents ever. I just want to be clear. They're not the smartest. It is possible to tackle all of this. It really is. In fact, the Trump administration last night deployed the Bureau of Prisons.
Bureau of Prisons officers, in the absence of the Minneapolis Police Department being of any use last night, the Trump administration deployed the Bureau of Prisons to restore order. Take a look. Cut seven. Bureau of Prisons officials showing up. And you can tell because it says it right on their name tags. Look. Cut seven. Yeah, Bureau of Prisons. What does it say on there?
Oh, Federal Officer Bureau of Prisons. So these guys would normally train to look after prisoners and stop prison riots. Here they are trying to stop a riot in the streets of the United States of America. That's what they were up to last night. You see those guys holding a pepper spray and police batons. They're wearing helmets. They got tear gas canisters strapped up.
These guys trying to put down the mob last night. The riot certainly called into action and stepping up in the moment of need. But this discontinues, right? This happens in Minneapolis. And it's happening with the encouragement of local officials who think it's just absolutely wonderful. They're all in on this kind of chaos. And boy, they hate you. They hate you.
The American people, they hate the federal government. They hate law and order. Here's the mayor of Minneapolis last night. Again, this is all brand-new information. It's crazy that we have a new news cycle on this subject every day, and it's more miserable than the last. Here's Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, whining last night about federal agents cleaning up his city. Take a look.
Imagine if that city or that town... was suddenly invaded by thousands of federal agents that do not share the values that you hold dear. Imagine if your daily routines were disrupted, the local cafe that you eat at was shut down because they're scared that their own family might get torn apart. Imagine if schools shut down and suddenly parents got to figure out what to do for daycare.
are you serious are you listening to anything he said he's like oh just imagine if your state was invaded he now he's saying by ice you know you know a state that's been invaded minnesota you know a city that's been invaded minneapolis you know by whom illegal aliens who should not be in our country at all and then he goes on to say like what are parents going to do if they need to take their kids out of school and send them to daycare daycare

Chapter 3: How did the ICE officer respond to the attack?
Here's Tim Walz last night amidst the rioting even ahead of it.
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.
Atrocities to bank evidence for future prosecution. These are criminals, says Tampon Tim Walz, the governor of an entire state. creating more conflict against federal law enforcement who are doing the job. And what job are they doing? They're taking rapists off the street. They're taking child sodomizers off the street. They're taking murderers off the street.
They're getting illegal aliens out of our country, and they're making our country safer. And on whose side do you stand, Tampon Tim Walz? Or Mayor Soyboy, where are you guys standing? You're standing on the side of the criminals. That's what you're doing. And then for him last night, he thinks he's being so clever. He's like, just get out there very peacefully. Record ICE as they do their jobs.
You know what he's calling for. This is like the cleanest, clearest dog whistle ever heard. The guy's telling people, accost ICE officers. Get in their faces, make their jobs more miserable, record them, act like they're the bad guys, try and basically hector them away from this community.
Do everything you can to prevent federal law enforcement from doing the job that the American people want them to do. That's what Tim Walz is calling for. So we've got an insurrection on our hands. I've been as crystal clear about this from the moment it began as you can possibly be. This is an insurrection, and the President of the United States should invoke the Insurrection Act.
The Insurrection Act dates back to the early 1800s. It is a law that allows the President of the United States to restore order where there is none.
where insurrection is taking place in the united states of america and invariably throughout u.s history that includes government officials who betrayed their oaths of office and have either declared war or implicitly are waging one against the people of the united states in other words they're staging an insurrection the insurrection act has been invoked 30 times in american history 30 times

Chapter 4: What role do local officials play in the Minneapolis unrest?
And insofar as there's been recalcitrance from governors, it's always Democrats, whether it's Orval Faubus or it's George Wallace. Basically, Democrats constantly foment insurrections in American history, and it's often Republican presidents, but sometimes Democrat presidents who have to invoke the Insurrection Act to put it down. That's just the way things have been.
President Trump wouldn't be doing anything unusual here, would he?
No, he wouldn't be. I mean, to your point, there's a long history of invoking the Insurrection Act. At Heritage, my colleagues will be publishing an analysis of this particular situation later today. So therefore, I'll answer this as a historian of this country, as you know.
The reason the Insurrection Act exists is precisely because of what's going on in Minneapolis, which is to say, where the federal government has jurisdiction, particularly as it relates to public safety and the rule of law,
occasionally in our republic's history cities and counties and states have violated that and so if in fact we settled something in the american civil war which is that the federal government has this authority then if you believe in the rule of law and you you call yourselves as the democrat party does the party of democracy then it seems to me that something has to impose that rule of law that's why the insurrection act exists
So one of the things that we're watching these Democrat leaders do is they issue these statements that I think they think they're being very clever.
Tim Walz last night was urging people in Minnesota to get in the faces of ICE officers, but he said things like, well, do it peacefully, but take your camera out and then record everything they're doing so we can use that in prosecutions of these ICE agents. Nobody with any sanity about them whatsoever thinks that ICE agents are guilty of any violations of the law here.
In fact, they're taking child rapists and sodomizers and homicidal maniacs off the street. That's what they're actually doing. But Tim Walz will say things like that. Jacob Fry will tell people to continue to protest and tell ICE to get out of these communities. It does seem like these government officials are very much a part of fomenting the chaos we're seeing.
I think they're totally guilty of that. And it's really important for people to understand on a practical level what having a sanctuary city or a sanctuary state does.

Chapter 5: How does the Insurrection Act relate to current events?
Listen to this. This interested me. I didn't realize it. Both of them seemed completely caught off guard by the topic itself. Listen, cut three. Watch.
It's being reported that Health and Human Services released frozen funds to Planned Parenthood. I'm wondering why this happened and why Planned Parenthood is receiving any federal funds. I don't know anything about that. Bobby, do you know anything about that? What was the question? It's being reported that frozen funds were released to Planned Parenthood in December by AJS.
I'm wondering why that happened. I have not heard that. I have not heard that.
I have not heard that. I have not heard that. Now, I don't think either of those men are like lying or anything. I think they were genuinely surprised by that item and didn't didn't know what she was even referring to. But we got some more information yesterday afternoon about this. This comes to us from The Daily Signal reporter Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell.
And I'm keeping an eye on this because I don't want to see a single dime go to the baby killers. I don't know about you. Here's what the headline says. Why Trump's HHS did give Planned Parenthood tens of millions in funding back. And there's an explanation for this.
The explanation that Daily Signal gives us is that apparently it was a tactical retreat designed to make it so that the administration can cut even more funding from Planned Parenthood. It's a legal battle, in other words. Here's what they got.
Politico reported that the ACLU on Monday dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration after HHS quietly released tens of millions of dollars in Title X family planning funds to Planned Parenthood and other clinics. The move sparked widespread outrage from pro-life conservatives, rightfully so.
The ACLU, joined by the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association, had sued the administration over what they called unlawful withholding of more than $65 million in Title X grants. But the agency may have had no choice but to restore funding, according to Tom McCluskey, who's a veteran pro-life operative and the director of the government affairs operation at Catholic Vote.
The agency withheld the funds before amending 42 U.S. Code Part 300, a rule which governs family planning grants. McCluskey told the Daily Signal, quote, the Trump administration was virtually certain to lose the lawsuit, forcing them to repay the full amount plus interest and then cover attorney's fees.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Insurrection Act's invocation?
They're, I think, the number one provider of cross-sex hormones in the country. Yeah, Planned Parenthood. Yeah. So they need to not exist is what needs to happen. And certainly not with any of our tax dollars. So we will stay vigilant to this story. We'll keep an eye on it. I see that this will be the, quote, true test of the president's promise to end taxpayer funding of the abortion industry.
Good, we'll keep tracking it. By the way, President Trump has had more success as a pro-life president than any president of our lifetimes. That's just true. He got Roe v. Wade overturned. I will be eternally grateful to him for that amazing progress. But the fight, as always, continues. And all of us are staying in it. All of us are.
