What happened in Minnesota regarding ICE agents?
Hi, everyone. It's Truth in the Barrel. There is so much happening all at once. Our attention is being pulled in so many different directions. But today we're going to talk about the latest coming out of Minnesota. And Denver is reporting live from Nuke, Greenland.
That's it right there. That's it. I wish you could see. It's incredible. It's incredible here.
How are things in Greenland?
A little cold, but actually it was colder in Kentucky and Virginia, I think, than Greenland. It's been incredible. I've taken ships or boats out to the settlements in Greenland, all over Nook. I've talked to people in their homes.
What insights does Denver share about living in Greenland?
I've broke bread with them, listened to their stories, their fear, their absolute befuddlement of the nastiness and danger that's coming out of the Trump administration. Amy, it's been one of the most incredible experiences for me.
Yeah, well, we're going to get into that. But before that, Denver, for the second time in less than three weeks, ICE has murdered a U.S. citizen, despite what Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem tell you, this man, this American citizen, was not a domestic terrorist. He was a 37-year-old registered nurse who worked in the VA caring for veterans. And he was grabbed, beaten by six officers, and he was shot 10 times, Denver, by at least two of them. And, I mean, there's... This is crazy. First of all, I want to show a video to everybody of who this man was and see if it lines up with what the administration is saying about him, saying he was some domestic terrorist.
Today, we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom.
How did the local Greenlanders react to American political influences?
So in this moment, we remember and give thanks for their dedication and selfless service to our nation in the cause of our freedom. In this solemn hour, we render our honor and our gratitude.
You can see here, this is a man who loved veterans, who was caring. And the Department of Homeland Security Denver and the White House is trying to frame him as a terrorist. What are we doing?
I think it's the same thing that we've said, Amy, really, now that we've known each other for so long, that stupidity is terminal. But incompetence and immorality, the downstream effect of that on the United States and those who are trying to do the right thing is literally terminal. and for Alex and for Renee Goode, which I don't want people to forget about Renee, Amy. I think what happened to her was as tragic, as grotesque as what happened to Alex. But when you have untrained ICE officers, many of them seeming to support white nationalist views, And when you have a Stephen Miller or individuals like that coming out and trying to paint a real patriot, somebody who was in the Veterans Administration as a domestic terrorist, I think finally the infection in MAGA has boiled over.
And I also believe that seeing even Stephen Miller doing a bit of the Michael Jackson moonwalk away from this, I got to tell you, I think we're seeing massive fissures in the MAGA movement. I'm using Fishers because I'm in Greenland. It's so weird. I wouldn't have never used that word. I've seen Fishers everywhere. But massive Fishers in the MAGA movement. I think you're seeing a split along those tectonic plates of white nationalism, the Second Amendment, and things like that.
I mean, this... American who was killed was not even at a protest. He was just there when ICE and the DHS and the Customs Border Patrol were doing some operation. And the background of all of this, if you watch the videos of what happened, and there are many out there, we look at the videos before the actual shooting happened. The ICE agent walked up to a woman, Denver, in the middle of the street, an American citizen, who was backing away from him. And he shoved her with two hands, sending her sprawling to the ground backwards. And then the agent pepper sprays her on the ground. She's unarmed. And the Alex who was killed was trying to help this poor woman.
