now up in New York City. The Homeland Security Secretary
Christy Nome is holding it. It's been going on for
probably ten or fifteen minutes so far, but let me
pick it up here and see what she's talking about
in light of yesterday's shooting up in Minneapolis. So Director
Russo spoke about how this operation happened discreetly, under the
cover of darkness, and that's how it should be, which
is in contrast to what happened in Minneapolis yesterday.
Speaker 2: You said, what do you mean in contrast.
Speaker 3: That was very much not because.
Speaker 2: Of the protesters and the violent criminals that were attacking
our law enforcement. If you remember in that operation, what
happened was our officers were out trying to get a
car stuck out of the snow when they were surrounded
and assaulted and blocked in by protesters that were inciting.
Speaker 3: The officer was following his training.
Speaker 2: He did follow his training because of an individual that was.
Speaker 3: Point blank into a driver's window. Is that part of
the training?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: How is that self defense?
Speaker 2: This is an experienced officer who followed his training, and
we will continue to let the investigation unfold into the
individual and continue to follow the procedures and policies that
happened in these use of force cases. But let's remember
the events that surrounded what happened yesterday on that tragic situation,
was that these individuals had followed our officers all day,
had harassed them, had blocked them in, They were impeding
our law enforcement operations, which is against the law. And
when they demanded and commanded her to get out of
her vehicle several times, she did not. So we'll continue
to allow this process to unfold and recognize that these
law enforcement officers, every single day put their lives on
the line.
Speaker 3: They go out and do their jobs. They got in
domestic terrorists, though without this was.
Speaker 2: An act of domestic terrorism, which is perpetuating who.
Speaker 3: She was or what she was about.
Speaker 2: And yet now you're saying, these policies and procedures that
follow a use of force situation like this are continuing
to be put in place. So this is standard operating
procedure after every use of force situation, is that we
followed these procedures and protocols. This situation is no different. Now,
this young lady right beside you, I'll come to you next.
Speaker 4: Should we expect a surge of agents.
Speaker 2: In New York City?
Speaker 3: Should we expect a surge of.
Speaker 2: Agents in the New York SITIS administration are focused on
protecting people, so we will never telegraph exactly the numbers
and operations that we have and where we will be
focused on. But I think that when you see violent
criminals that are taking advantage of Americans since of putting
their lives in jeopardy, our law enforcement officers at DHS
will always show up.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll come back, I'll come back. Go ahead. The
officer involved in the shooting yesterday, has he been suspended
or season in the field.
Speaker 2: The officer went to the hospital he was hit by
the vehicle and went to hospital and received treatment was
released in a spending time with his family.
Speaker 5: Now, yes, Sir, in Minneapolis, yesterday you said the surge
there would continue, while you didn't directly say whether we
can expect an ice surge for civil importation enforcement, can
you explain what a surge is?
Speaker 2: And I won't describe in detail our law enforcement operations
that we have. It's just it puts our officers' lives
in jeopardy. But they will be there enforcing the laws
of this country and upholding the public safety needs that
have to happen when it comes to enforcing federal law.
Speaker 3: Just you know, only security investigations.
Speaker 2: You know, We've got thousands of officers there and I'm
not opposed to sending more if necessary to keep people safe.
Speaker 4: Compare Secretary, can you talk a little bit of about
the experience of the officer in some of his background.
How much training did he have, How much training in
these types of situations did you have, even if it's
from the region.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to get specific to this officer,
but he's an experienced officer that has served a number
of years and we recognize that he acted according to
his training and we have expected all the policies and
procedures of review will be exactly that he acted appropriately
to preaffect his life and the life of his colleagues
and fellow law enforcement officers that were there in people
that were surrounding.
Speaker 6: ID like to get your reaction on some of the
rhetoric here in New York City. Mayor Zora Mangani responded
to the shooting yesterday, saying that this is only the
latest horror in a year full of cruelty. He called
it an attack on us all and the New York
stands with immigrants today and every day. Also, council members
last night at the protest called this fascism. The New
York City's Public Advocate, Jimani Williams, said that your administration
is quote doing the devil's work, and he asked New
York City to stand up and show up. Quote. It's
going to be difficult and there are going to be casualties.
And the last comment that was made last night at
the protest was from New York State Representative Alex Borros,
also a Democrat. Quote, not only was the Ice agent's
hand on the gun, but Secretary knows hand was on
the gun. President Trump's hand was on the gun. What
is your response to you or Democratic leaders those particular
comments and the protesters that are outside.
Speaker 2: We say those comments are why we're standing where we
are today. That kind of language and that kind of
provocative talk, inciting people to take action and perpetuate violence
in some cases is unacceptable, and especially of elected leaders.
We have a responsibility to state the facts, to go
out and enforce the law. Your mayor just said in
that statement that he was going to stand with illegal
people who have broken our law before he's going to
put New York City citizens first. His job and why
he was elected was to protect the people who live
here that had the opportunity to vote for him and
have the opportunity to live in this city. They pay
their taxes, they go to work every day, and instead
the mayor in that statement chose to stand with illegals
instead of those individuals who just want the chance to
raise their families in New York City and have a
part of the American dream.
Speaker 1: Yes, the head of Minnesota State Investigations Agency so that
they could cut out of the investigation into the fatal
shooting in Minneapolis, can you explain that reversal.
Speaker 2: I'd like to know where they've been and why they're
not out on the streets investigating all of these people
that are harassing and inciting violence on law enforcement officers
right now. They're allowing the situation to be volatile. They're
not doing their work. They haven't for years, and maybe
they should get to work a little bit on the
unprecedented fraud that we've seen in Minnesota and in Minneapolis
by people that stole from American citizens and diverted funds
away from vulnerable people and programs and services that they
needed and put it into their own pockets. Minnesota is
a train wreck. It is corrupt, and it was under
the leadership of Governor Walls and this mayor that they
allowed it to happen, and they let criminals in illegals
and people abuse programs and steal the money, and now
they're allowing violence to go forward on the streets as well.
Speaker 1: The police department, county sheriffs, the federal party at this point,
they don't.
Speaker 2: Want I want to put a blanket statement out like
those other individuals will. What I would say is I
welcome them to come and help us, Come help us
make sure that the streets are safe, that laws are
in force and that we can do the right thing
to make sure that American citizens come first.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, they have.
Speaker 2: Not been cut out. They don't have any jurisdiction in
this investigation. Yes, go ahead, I'm going to speak to
this individual right here.
Speaker 6: Say down from w pi X TV, how do you
respond to Americans who have been listening to your comments
that this was an active domestic terrorism that the officer
was hit.
Speaker 2: Anytime you take something, it.
Speaker 6: Is in direct contradiction to what they are seeing and watching.
In the multiple angles that have been.
Speaker 2: Released, this vehicle was used to hit this officer, It
was used as a weapon, and the officers feels as
though his life was in jeopardy. It was used to
perpetuate a violent act. That this officer took action to
protect himself and to protect his fellow law enforcement officers.
So we'll let this continue to go forward and follow
the same policies and procedures that every use of forest
situation does. But we've had almost over one hundred times
that these vehicles have been used to ram law enforcement
officers and to do damage and to harm them. When
you take an action and use a weapon to harm
someone into incite violence against them and try to cause
them injury or death. Then it needs to be labeled
exactly what it was.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: So that's Christy Known, the Secretary of Homeland Security. She's
up in New York City today right now, whereas yesterday
she was up in Minnesota, in Minneapolis for the operation
that was up there that resulted in the shooting of
thirty seven year old Renee Nicole Good.
Speaker 3: She died at the scene. We are going to get
into the details.
Speaker 1: We're going to get into the backgrounds, We're going to
get into the nullification that's occurring right now. And you're
hearing another example of it with these reporters and the
quotes that they're giving from Democrats. What's very clear is
that there is a not small contingent of Americans and
particularly Democrat politicians, that do not want certain federal laws enforced,
and they are encouraging people to sacrifice themselves in order
to prevent that law enforcement from occurring. It's incredibly dangerous.

so you heard the press conference there or a portion
of it from Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. And it's
all in light of what occurred yesterday in Minneapolis, which
I did you know when I was doing the show,
Yes yesterday, I did see that there were these reports
of an incident that occurred, but it was too early
for me to know anything that was going on, and
so I as a talk show host, I refrained from,
you know, jumping in and making all sorts of pronouncements
about what has obviously happened.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: But after twenty four hours now we can see some
of the evidence, the video evidence that exists.
Speaker 3: It's online.
Speaker 1: People have been sharing the videos all day yesterday into today.
So I'm going to go through what the evidence is
as to what occurred, what we know about it, things
that are reported that are confirmed, and the video evidence itself.
So most people are relying on the video from the
rear of the maroon Honda pilot that was driven by
Renaane Nicole Good. And from that angle, all you're seeing
is the rear of the pilot, the driver's side, and
you can see that her window is down and you
see two ICE agents approach. You cannot see that there
is a third ice ICE agent on the other side
of the Honda pilot. You don't see that agent until
the very end of the interaction. There is, however, another
video from the opposite side. Somebody was shooting video apparently
out of looks like a second story room out of
a window, and that video captures that third agent on
the other side of the vehicle, and it shows him
getting hit by the car. So the first thing that
we need to all accept here is that the woman
drove her car forward and hit the agent. That did happen.
That is on video as occurring. Even in the first
video where you can't see him until the very end,
you can see that he is.
Speaker 3: He's kind of swinging around.
Speaker 1: And initially people said that that she was trying to escape.
He was standing right in front of her car. He
was in front of her, right in front of the
driver's side windshield. That is obvious now. So these two
pieces of video, and I've watched them repeatedly with the
benefit of being able to slow everything down and look
at all of the you know, millisecond by millisecond progress
of everything, which of the law enforcement officer, the ice agent,
and the driver of the car. Neither of them have
that luxury. They don't get to slow down time in
order to see precisely what is occurring within two seconds.
We all get to do that now the day after, right,
But these videos, some witness statements that.
Speaker 3: I have seen.
Speaker 1: This is what I have used to come to a
theory or a working belief about what occurred. Here's what
I saw. She has parked perpendicular to the ice vehicles,
blocking their path on the road. Her window is down.
She waves her hand like in a motion to like
wave somebody through, not like wave hello, but wave like
go on through, come by, or go around, and an
ice vehicle does in fact go around her and stops
in front of her to now box her in because
now they're going to approach the vehicle, and that's when
they come out and start approaching. So this is why
you hear people say, oh, she was waving them to
go around in that moment. She may have been. She
also may have been trying to wave around the caravan
of vehicles that apparently reportedly she had been leading. She
had been leading these cars around to form roadblocks around
the ice vehicles. Now you just heard Christinome say that
the operation that the ice agents were there for was over,
and they say their vehicle got stuck in the snow,
and you can see in the videos there are snowbanks
on the sides of the roads. I've seen some people
deny that that had occurred. No, they weren't trying to
get the car out of the snow.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, but those are the
reports that Christy Nomes. She has said this now twice,
and that's why they were trying to extricate the vehicle,
and that's why more ice vehicles had shown up because
they were there to try to help get the car.
Speaker 3: Out of the out of the snowbank.
Speaker 1: So the driver's wife, So the driver's name is Rene
Nicole Good. Her wife is reportedly the woman that is
standing behind the Honda pilot with a cell phone and
video recording everything that's happening. She's off to the sort
of rear right side. Two agents approached the driver's door.
Another agent comes from the passenger side front and stands
in front of the vehicle. The agents are telling her
when they walk up to her open window, they're telling
her to get out of the car. One of the
agents grabs the door handle, but it's locked and he
tries to open the door. At that point, the car
goes in reverse for a couple of feet. The car
then goes into drive and the front wheel spin on
the icy road. They start spinning a little bit. Now,
this is speculation on my point or on my behalf here.
But if it wasn't a snow covered road, that ice
agent may very well have been run over because there
was that gunning of the engine. The tires spin and
that gives him that moment to then draw the firearm,
because he did not walk up with the firearm.
Speaker 3: You can see this.
Speaker 1: He pulls it out after she starts to go forward
and the engine starts racing, and that's when she hits
him in his legs and sort of pelvis area on
his left side. It's at that point when he's trying
to move out of the way and the car is
the tire's spin and then they cut to the right.
And that's why people say she was trying to escape.
She wasn't trying to hit him. She was trying to
avoid him. She was trying to go around him. Because
they look at the tire spun. Keep in mind the
cop cannot see the tires. The cop is standing in
front of the car. Cop doesn't see the tires because
he's standing in front of the vehicle. He's also looking
at the person. I also saw where people are pointing
out that he was holding a cell phone as well,
so he was recording her, which means there's a recording.
There should be body cam footage also. He then fires
three shots as he moves to the side of the vehicle.
One bullet enters the front windshield, the second hits the
front of the side view mirror, so you can see
those two damaged pieces. And I don't know where the
third round went, but may have gone into the open
window driver's side window. The car then proceeds down the
street at about fifty to one hundred feet at a
pretty high rate of speed and crashes into a parked
car on the side of the road.
Speaker 3: That's what I saw happen.

the text line, Ellen says Pete love your show.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Ellen.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that if the streets had not been icy,
we might be talking about a dead ICE officer today.
Speaker 3: She would have hit him much harder.
Speaker 1: Indeed, and in fact, this agent that got hit by
the car was previously hit by a protester driving their
car at ICE agents and was dragged. So guy has
some experience with the way these protesters behave. Danny says,
it's not just dangerous that these elected officials are inciting
this type of behavior.
Speaker 3: It's sad.
Speaker 1: It's sad we have arrived in a place in our
society where otherwise innocent people feel confident that they can
defy law, intervene with law enforcement, and are convinced there
will be no consequences for their actions. Well some of Okay,
for some of them, I think that is true. They
don't think there will be consequences. Then part of that
is because it has been communicated to them that there
will in fact be no consequences, particularly if they have
engaged in violent mob behavior in previous demonstrations and have
suffered no repercussions. Right, However, there is a contingent that
knows that inducing the reaction is the purpose of the action. Okay,
this is out of Saulolensky's rules for radicals. I know
people on the left don't want to hear me quote it,
but this is one of the things that Olenski preaches
is sometimes the action is in your opponent's reaction, getting
your opponent to do something that you can then use
to vilify them and play the victim yourself, to gain
public support, or to advance legislation or get some policy
changed or something, or to get ice to as the
mayor of Minneapolis said, get the bleep out of our city.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 3: This is the point.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the mayor and the governor, the
Democrats who are out there saying, you know, this was predictable,
we were predicting this. Yeah, you know who else was
predicting it? People on the right. I was predicting it.
You know why, because it's obvious what you're doing. You're
inciting people to obstruct, to antagonize, to get more and
more aggressive. You're inciting people to do this. You are
creating a permission structure for people to defy the law because.
Speaker 3: They don't like the law.
Speaker 1: That's what this comes down to is that you have
a not small contingent of Americans that believe there should
be no federal immigration law. That's why they're out there
protesting because what these agents are doing is enforcing immigration law.
So you want the law wiped off the books, but
you can't do that legislatively because you do not hold
a majority. You don't have a majority opinion on that matter.
So what you're going to do is an attempt to
nullify the federal law by obstructing it, by preventing law
enforcement agents from the federal government en forcing federal law.
You're going to try to prevent them from doing so.
And that permission structure for you to behave like violent children,
that permission structure is created and fortified by elect leaders
that speak in the same ways that we are hearing
the elected leadership speak today. They're saying the same thing.
They keep blaming Ice for the chaos, but the chaos
is created by the nullifiers.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 1: It's remember, the issue is never the issue. The issue
is always the revolution. It's plug and play. It's yesterday
it's Palestine, and now today it's Ice. There were people
wearing cafeas as fashion accessories while kicking in the glass
doors and windows of the Federal Courthouse in Minneapolis last night.
Speaker 3: What does Palestine have to do with that?
Speaker 1: It's the Omnik cause. Because the issue doesn't matter. The
particular issue of the day doesn't matter, whether it was
George Floyd, whether it's Palestine, right, Michael Brown, he ends up,
don't shoot whatever. The issue is irrelevant. The issue is
always the revolution. It's about destabilization of the society, and
so people like me on the right have been saying,
you guys are going to incite violence.
Speaker 3: Somebody is going to get killed.
Speaker 1: And people on the left were saying ICE's enforcement of
the law is going to incite violence, and just stop
and think about that for a moment. Enforcement of the
law will incite violence. If that is the case, then
your city is in a state of insurrection. That's what
that means that when democrats are out there saying that
enforcing law will create criminal activity, that means you are
in open defiance of federal law. And this goes back
to the fourth turning. The fourth turning the theory that
was put forth back in the nineties by a couple
of demographers and they charted out sort of this these
four seasons or cycle or what they called them turnings.
They last about twenty years, and you go through a spring, summer, fall, winter,
and winter is the crisis phase, and then it repeats
itself and we are in the fourth turning. That was
what they were talking about from their book in the nineties.
And the remaining surviving author I think his name is
Neil Howe. He was the one who identified the immigration
issue as being the spark for the fourth turning. He
said it would be a nullification crisis in the fourth turning.
And you don't know, like nobody knows how this plays out.
This is the problem with this type of a nullification
fight is you have stayed in local officials with their
own armies, whether it's you know, National Guard police for
state troopers, whatever, and you have a federal government with
its own armies, and neither one will take an off
ramp because they're both asserting some authority. And what's very
clear is you've got these democrat controlled areas that are
refusing to recognize the authority of the federal government because
Orange Man is Hitler. And so the federal government is
going to keep pushing back and say no, the supremacy
clause of the Constitution, we are legally empowered to do it.
These are laws passed, we're acting lawfully, and the states
are saying no, the cities are saying no, and it's
going to escalate into violence. People are going to get hurt,
people are going to get killed. And if you keep
encouraging people to behave like this because they don't like
a law, you're going to get more of it. So
while Tim Walls may have predicted violence and a death,
I too have predicted violence and a death. But Tim
Walls wants to blame it on law and for it
meant enforcing laws. I blame the people who are acting
in a dare I say, insurrectionist manner. These are the
same people, by the way, that ran around tearing down
statues of every Civil War Confederate General right got to
take all their statues down and all of that because
they were insurrectionists January sixth people, they were insurrectionists, But
when it comes to laws they don't like from the
federal government that they want to nullify.
Speaker 3: I guess it's okay. Let me go back to Danny's message.
Speaker 1: Here on the text line, he says, the situation took
a tragic turn, and everyone now wants to judge if
the officer's reactions were justified instead of clearing understanding that
actions have consequences, and had she been protesting in a
legal and acceptable way, she would be alive today. What
will it take for people to stop the insanity? They
don't have an incentive to do so. This is the problem.
Look for the incentives, right, There is no incentive for
de escalation right now, not on the left and not
on the part of the immigration enforcement, So no one's
incentivized to de escalating.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this show, you know I try
to keep up with all sorts of current events, and
I know you do too, And you've probably heard me
say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and
it's a website and it combines news from around the
world in one place, so you can compare coverage and
verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground,
dot news slash pete. I put the link in the
podcast description too. I started using ground News a few
months ago and more recently chose to work with them
as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how

as they make the media landscape more transparent. Governor Tim
Walls has all he's now doing another news conference. I
believe the focus of this is on how he's accusing
the FBI of cutting out the local investigators from investigating.
So here's Tim Walls from the news conference going on
right now.
Speaker 7: I think it's clear to everyone as they saw this
that it feels now that Minnesota has been taken out
of the investigation, it feels very, very difficult that we
will get a fair outcome. And I say that only
because people in positions of power have already passed judgment,
from the President to the Vice president to Christy Nome,
have stood and told you things that are verifiably false,
verifiably inaccurate. They have determined the character of a thirty
seven year old mom that they didn't even know, don't know.
They've determined that the actions are done I don't know.
I've not used inflammatory terms of what happened.
Speaker 3: I've asked us to.
Speaker 7: Find the answers. The only way we find the answers
is a thorough investigation by non partisan professionals. We've delivered
that we've been able to do it. We've earned the trust.
And when I say that, the trust of BCA, and
I tell Minnesota's the trust of law enforcement here everyone
knows globally, certainly here that George Floyd, who has murdered
a few blocks from this site, toward the soul of
who we were. But we healed, we build back trust.
Chief Brian o'hurre came in and took one of the
most difficult jobs in America of building back trust in
the police force in Minneapolis after Derek shav and murder
George Floyd. And he's earned that, and he's level and
he's fair, and he's asking for that, and so Minnesotan's
I will continue to press that we be part of
the investigation, that we do the investigation so that Minnesotans
can trust what the outcome is. I don't have a
predetermined notion. Yes I saw the video, Yes I saw that,
But a thorough investigation, we'll see what happened before that.
It will take all factors in and it will come
up with a fair and just conclusion and we will
accept that. Very very difficult for Minnesotans to think in
any way this is going to be fair. When Christynoman
was judged jury and basically executioner yesterday, that's very, very
difficult to think that they were going to be fair
With that being said. Minnesotan's risen to the occasion so far,
but it's going to get check challenging. It's going to
be challenging because I feel your anger, the human desire
to lash out in this moment is very real. I
can tell you that that is the wish of many
people that they fulfill, the wish. They want to see
us turn on one another, turn towards violence rather than
peaceful reconciliation rather than peaceful civil disobedience. And what we
have to do our best to not play into that.
I say this too when I saw yesterday some of
the anger, whether it's Minneapolis Police, Minnesota State Patrol, Hennepin
County Sheriff's office, Minnesota National Guard, they are there to
protect and serve. As it said, they are there to
protect Minnesotan's. Throwing your anger at them only inflames the situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because, by the way, that is what the protesters did.
They attacked the local police. Like Walls is trying to
walk this line of like, oh, these are Minnesotans, these
are state police, and these are local police, and we're
all on the same page. We're all your friends. Like dude,
four years ago they were burning down your police departments.
They don't trust them either. Again, See, the issue is
never the issue. You think that there's going to be
some logical consistency going on here, and it's not. This
is just what he is saying, because the anger is
directed at all law enforcement, because law enforcement represents the
thing that protects the society. Like that's the thin blue line.
You tear that apart and now you can run wild.
And that's what they did last night. They started throwing
snowballs and stuff and debris at the local police. And
so now Tim Wall's like, oh, don't do that, Like,
those are the bad guys over there. It's Ice, they're
the bad guys. Trump is the bad guy. It's not
the local police, it's not the state police. We're here
to protect at you. Yeah, they don't want you either, Tim.
Speaker 7: And I know some of you were up at the
Whipple Building this morning, and to the press who are here,
I saw some of this myself. Thank you. Continue to
have access to every single space, Continue to cover this story,
continue to show the world what's out there. I will
say it where our president won't. The press are the
defenders of our democracy. You need to be there. But
I also tell folks, protect our Minnesotans who are out there,
and don't turn the anger to them. This is a
brazen use of force.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, hang on a second.
Speaker 1: Didn't you just say that you haven't made any judgments
about anything that occurred, and now you're saying, what three
sentences later, that this was a quote brazen use of force.
That sounds like you've passed some sort of judgment about it.
Because if it was, as Christy Nomes said, an act
of self defense after a protester weaponized her vehicle against
a law enforcement agent, which would then classify it as
an act of domestic terrorism. But that's that's out of
the bounds of acceptability.
Speaker 7: Want us to bend the knee. They want us to
capitulate the way.
Speaker 1: Okay, they want you to bend the knee to to
federal law. Yes, you live in America, you live under
federal law.
Speaker 3: I do too.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to uphold the Constitution. Your oath is to
uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. There
is the supremacy clause. The federal government has the authority
to do these things. They are they are using federal
law enforcement to enforce federal law. And you call that
bending the knee and capitulating and that and and so, like,
what is he saying there, He's saying nullification. We are
nullifying your law. We don't agree with your law, we
don't want your law, so we are no longer going
to allow you to enforce it in our territory. We
are supreme, That's what he's saying.
Speaker 7: The way we give them what they want is allow
them to use this as an excuse to put more
troops on the ground, use him as an excuse to
show that these are violent protests. And I also witnessed
what I think is going to be a pattern over
the next few days in the coming hours. Is I
saw an individual show up there with the intent to
antagonize folks who are peacefully protesting with a bullhorn to
scream at them. And again, the desire to move on
that individual is exactly what they want.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's the right wingers that's the real problem.
Speaker 3: Good job, Gov. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
