Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco, show you daily dive into the news.

It is Monday, February 9th.

I am outside right now.

We're going to try and do this show. Oh, hi. There we go. Welcome to the news. It is Monday, February 9th. I am outside right now. We're going to try and do this show. Oh, hi.

There we go.

Hey, welcome to the show.

Here we go.

I thought she could tell you guys secrets. Like, I don't control the edit. But hey, yes, welcome back to the Philip DeFranco's show. I've got a fantastic show for you today.

It is obviously, as you can tell by I guess this is a throne.

Today's show is coming to you from the road, specifically Cocoa Beach, Florida. That's because I'm a genius, and I booked a non-refundable place to stay for the Artemis 2 launch. you know, a thing that famously couldn't be postponed because of the slightest change in weather or a test not going 100% perfect.

Space travel, of course, famously known for the lack of uncertainty. So I decided to still steal my wife and kids away for a little break before everything gets really chaotic, especially for her with the campaign. You know, with that said, we have a lot we need to talk about today, starting with this. Cash Patel is a shameless bootlicking liar, and he has to absolutely know it, right? But that's essentially the big takeaway from this New York Times bombshell report about what happened just hours after Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good in the face. Because reportedly, a senior prosecutor by the name of Joseph Thompson sought a warrant to search her vehicle for evidence, and what he expected would be a standard civil rights investigation under the agent's use of force. Where with him email and colleagues that state authorities who specialize in police shootings would team up with the FBI on the probe. But you've got several sources saying that later that week, as FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in the car, they received orders to stop. And who did those orders come from, you might ask. Well, reportedly it was senior officials, including the FBI director himself, Cash Patel. And he had sources saying that several of them, they worried that a civil rights investigation by using a warrant obtained on that basis would contradict Trump's claim that Good violently, willfully, and viciously ran over Jonathan Ross. Or, you know, in other words, that the facts would just expose the regime's lies. And so instead, over the next few days, top Trump DOJ officials, they reportedly presented alternative approaches, such as, you know, seeking a warrant predicated on a criminal investigation, not into whether Ross's use of force was justified, but into whether he had been assaulted by Good. Or another idea, they could just ditch the probe into the shooting altogether, and instead investigate Good's partner who was there the day that she got shot. And with that, according to the times Thompson and several other prosecutors, they balked at these ideas, just like kind of any sane human would viewing them as legally dubious and incendiary. Hell, even lawyers who thought that the shooting might have been lawful, they wanted an investigation into the use of force. And to Thompson and five others, they quit, at which point A.G. Pam Bondi told Fox News that they were members of the deep state who suddenly decided they didn't want to support the men and women of ICE.

And then she actually took the extra step of formally firing them even though they had already resigned, which deprived them of months of paid leave that they had accumulated. But then after that, the damn broke with more and more lawyers ditching the office and now even the chief counsel for ICE and Minnesota leave. Retentions in the office, they're so high that staff say that the U.S. attorney for Minnesota, Daniel Rosen,

a commercial litigator with no prior experience in criminal law,

has made unsettling comments about how we wouldn't ask anyone to do anything illegal, which is an assurance that would normally go without saying. But also, you know, other Democratic states, they're watching what's happening in Minnesota and going, yeah, we don't want any of that shit. And so now you're seeing them batten down the hatches with Zoran Mamdani leading the charge and reasserting New York status as a sanctuary city.

Across this country... any of that shit. And so now you're seeing them batten down the hatches with Zoran Mamdani leading the charge and reasserting New York status as a sanctuary city.
