What would happen if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act in Minnesota?

Patrick Bet-David 0:00
What could happen if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, okay? So let's go through this. Rob, I think you got a couple clips on this. President Trump on Thursday tweeted this, or Truth Social this. 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, which many presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great state. Thank you for your attention, Donald J. Trump. Anne, how do you feel about this?

Of course he should do this, and I don't even think he needs to invoke the Insurrection Act. It's funny how The New York Times avoids talking about the two most famous incidents of presidents sending troops against the wishes of a state's governor, Eisenhower sending them to Little Rock, because to walk nine black schoolchildren into the school. Why? Because they were disobeying federal law. It was a Supreme Court ruling. You can't discriminate. The governors, the mayors were saying, we're going to keep discriminating. And so Eisenhower sends the 101st Airborne to walk these nine black. And then JFK did the same thing in Alabama, directly against the governor. The governor called out his own national troops, George Wallace, famous name.
Ann Coulter 1:25
That was to walk two students. into University of Alabama. So we have nine sad black students, two sad black students, and of course, the Constitution and federal law being violated. And they go down in history as heroes. Minnesota is violating federal law. Immigration law is federal. The Supreme Court has held this one million times. They did it, I'll just say briefly, because it's recent. I mean, I've been alive in America for more than two weeks. When Arizona passed that, what everybody called the Papers, Please law, you'll remember that, oh, it's like Nazi Germany, which was upheld by the Supreme Court, at least that one provision. The rest of the law was overturned. All Arizona had said is we want to comply with the federal government.
Ann Coulter 2:14
We're going to help. We aren't going to do anything that federal immigration law doesn't say, but we're going to help enforce federal immigration law. Obama was president and he sued saying, I don't want to enforce federal immigration. The Supreme Court says federal government wins. So absolutely he has constitutional authority to do this. And if you look at how the governor and the mayor are behaving, I mean, just today, I think the governor, Tim Waltz, said Minnesota is an island. Well, no, you're not an island from federal law.
Patrick Bet-David 2:44
Did he really say he's an island?
Ann Coulter 2:45
Yes. I mean, that's like seceding from the union.

How does Anne Coulter view Trump's potential actions?

Ann Coulter 2:49
Of course he should send federal troops.
Tom Fitton 2:52
Wow. Tom, your thoughts on this? Well, you and I lived in Los Angeles at a time in 1992, which was also a time that the Insurrection Act was under the riots, Rodney King. And the city was being torn apart. The police were overwhelmed. And when the police are overwhelmed, that's when the National Guard comes in. This is when, look, a hurricane or an earthquake happens and our governors say, hey, we have a disaster area. I need you to declare me a disaster area so that I can get federal funds. And by the way, can you please send relief people, troops, supplies, whatever it is? And so we'll ignore the failure of Hurricane Katrina. But in Los Angeles, we had Korean shopkeepers that were on top trying to protect their own buildings.
Tom Fitton 3:38
And it was invoked at that time appropriately. This is exactly when it should be invoked. And it's interesting that everybody's clinging to the word insurrection in the media because that was the word they clung to on January 6th because they had to make it an insurrection because an insurrection is the operative term that was in the Constitution that they wanted to pin on. Oh, you've created an insurrection on Trump. So when you look at this, I think not only is this appropriate, it is not appropriate.
