| 0:00.0 | Should ICE leave Minneapolis? I mean, that's the question, right? We don't just have people on the left |
| 0:07.0 | suggesting. We have people on the right suggesting it. And I'm not just talking about people like |
| 0:11.3 | John Kasich who pretend they're on the right, but really just can't wait to show up and cater to the left |
| 0:15.9 | anytime they get a shot. But now we actually have people concerned that this is going to cost us the midterms. |
| 0:22.4 | And again, I'm not just talking about the Bill Maher reference with respect to Senator |
| 0:25.4 | Kennedy. I'm talking about right-wing voices, which are typically respected, that are |
| 0:29.7 | questioning whether or not this is the best tactic, because after all, haven't we lost the |

| 1:03.2 | doing nothing or backing down the moment they actually start to do something. And so what we're |
| 1:09.2 | going to do today is we're going to take a look. |
| 1:11.0 | Not just at kind of the Republican analysis of these things. No, I want to take a look at it from the left. |
| 1:17.0 | I want to look at the various tactics that they use, that they consistently use. |
| 1:24.2 | And I'm not just going to make random mention to Saul Linsky's rules for radicals. No, no, no, no. |
| 1:29.3 | We're going to go through the rules. It's only going to take us maybe 30, 35 minutes. |
