Not going to lie. I'll say from the top, this episode's going to be a downer.

Yeah, I think you all already know what this episode's going to be about. Very obviously, it's going to be about the situation in Minneapolis. It's going to be about Alex Prattie. It's going to be about ice killing yet, again, another American citizen. But before we get into like that, before we get into the event itself and the fallout. I needed to pull something into this cold open. That's a little, uh, it's still deeply

serious because this is all... we get into the advent itself and the fallout, I needed to pull something into this cold open.

That's a little, uh, it's still deeply serious because this is all deeply serious. Yes. But it's about J.D. Vance. Yeah, we try to find things that are a little bit lighter to start off the show, but like when the state is executing people in broad daylight and then lying about it constantly, it's hard to find any levity. Yeah, because it's like even the stuff that's like funny or like would be funny under normal circumstance is all so awful in context. Yeah. Because it's like it's funny that these people have so much audacity. It's funny that these people are making themselves look like idiots. But it's not funny that it's actually getting people killed. Yeah. And this is kind of one of those things. So I think I'm just going read you this tweet from J.D. Vance. Stay with me. It's a long one. He should have taken it to a publisher, but here we are. This is on J.D. Vance's Twitter. When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories, but near the top of the list, a couple of off-duty ice and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were docks and their location revealed and the restaurant was

then mobbed. The officer was locked in the restaurant and local police refused to respond to

their police for help as they've been directed by local authorities. Eventually, their fellow

federal agents came to their aid. This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis

because state and local officials refused to cooperate with immigration enforcement.

They have created the chaos so they have moments like yesterday where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.

The solution is staring everyone in the face.

I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this bad list.

Someone died the day before he tweeted this. Someone was killed by ice agents

by ice agents in the middle of the street. And he's talking about a harrowing story about how

these people are being attacked being people protested them at lunch. Well, and it's like everyone's

a victim except the actual victim. Yeah. Like they, the administration has been trying really

hard to convince you.

Every media appearance, whether it's Christy Knoem or Greg Bovino or whoever else, or J.D. Vance here. They all really want you to believe that the people who got hurt, the people who were victimized were fucking Border Patrol agents. The same guys who did the fucking crime. The organization who has been the one, uh, escalating and increasing tensions.

Like they are not the victims here, man.

No, absolutely not.

The victims are the goddamn residents.

They are 100. crime, the organization who has been the one escalating and increasing tensions.

Like they are not the victims here, man.
