Hi, welcome back to Bulwark Plus Takes. I am Ben Parker of the Bullwork here with my colleague,

Lieutenant General Mark Hurtling. We're talking about the Insurrection Act today. We're going to

tell you a little bit more about what that is, but in case you're wondering why, it's because

the President of the United States said this this morning. 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. So the Insurrection Act is a very, very old, very vaguely worded law that allows the

president to deploy the United States military inside the country, which is why we have our military

expert, General Hurtling here. General Hurtling, tell us a little bit about what the Interaction Act means to someone

who has commanded troops, who has worn the uniform of the country, and when it has been used,

and why?

Yeah, well, first, Ben, you've summed it up very well.

It comes from the earliest days of the founding fathers.

I mean, they were concerned from what they saw by the British doing as part of a military,

entering quarters, doing things against citizens, that they didn't want soldiers doing that in

the new nation. So it was part of our founding fathers documents. It was part of our freedoms.

And in 1807, which is, you know, the president even cited that this morning on his tweet,

where he said, hey, I'm going to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

I have the authority to do so and it's needed.

Well, all those things are interesting,
