Summary

Donald Trump's ICE force is not only not making life better for the residents of Minneapolis, it seems to be trying to pick a fight. Today, Trump, who is notoriously unable to keep the thoughts in his head from escaping out of his mouth, suggested he would invoke the Insurrection Act to suppress the unrest that he provoked. Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Donald Trump's first term, talks with Jen Psaki about why he is certain Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act, and tells stories from Trump's first term that make sense of Trump's second term behavior.

0:08.9

He hates losing.

0:10.0

He hates failing so much that he can never bring himself to accept his own defeats.

And if you think I'm being hyperbolic here, consider this.

Today, the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize literally had to hand that prize over to our

but-hurt president in order to try and secure the future of her own country.

Maria, did you offer to President Trump your Nobel Peace Prize?

Machado came up with to flatter Trump. Trump has been incredibly vocal about the fact that he felt

1:24.3

1:28.7

taking the prize from Machado for weeks while refusing to endorse her as the potential next
