0:00Hey, everybody. Welcome to Vince on a Tuesday. It's great to have you with us. I've got a big show ahead for you. Matt Van Swole stops by the program. Always like talking to him. No, he's not a fitness influencer. He's just a decent American who rejected the American left and joined the rest of us in sanity land. Also, we're going to talk about what is going on in the country right now. President Trump has a piece of breaking news this morning, a brand new message for the people of Minnesota. We'll explore that and we'll talk about just how dire things are in Minnesota right now. You know, one of the things that's missing from our big national conversation in all of this is just how disgusting the people are that the Trump administration is picking up right now.

0:43These are the dregs of the earth, the most vile human beings imaginable. And I do not say that lightly. We'll we'll explore that coming up. We it seems like we've got some Pam Bondi news that we can get into a lot to discuss all ahead on this edition of Vince. Glad to have you here with me.

2:46All right, let's zip into some of the important things to share with you today. You should be subscribed to rumble.com slash Vince, which currently directs you to the Bongina Report. For those of you who watch Rumble really, really closely, you will see that the channel previously known as Dan Bongino, which then became Vince, is now back to being referred to as the Dan Bongino channel, which is great news because Dan is coming back on February 2nd. That's a little over two weeks away. Unbelievable. That's going to be here before we know it. And when he arrives, this program will be live on Rumble at 8 a.m.

3:22Eastern time each weekday morning. And you'll be able to see that right on the Bongino Report channel. So that's item one. Make sure you are subscribed to the Bongino Report. It's going to change your life for the better. It's going to be great. Additionally, speaking of Dan, my hope is I got to talk to Dan about this. We'll have him on the podcast ahead of his return to his podcast, but I want to have him here on this show. But I did have him on the radio show yesterday. It was kind of a surprise. I didn't know this was happening. Jim calls me before the show starts. Producer Jim, the excellent producer Jim, he calls me before the show starts.

3:56He goes, hey, do you want Dan on the show today? And I said, yeah, absolutely. Let's have Dan on the show. And so we got Dan in yesterday to the radio program. If you're looking for that interview, you can thank producer Justin for this because he saved the video of it because we do the radio show every day, but we don't always save a video file of the whole radio show. But producer Justin jumps in, saves the video file. It's posted to my X account right now. Right now. You can go check out the Vince Colonnais X account. You can see the full interview with Dan Bongino. And of course, we'll have hopefully more interviews with Dan in the weeks and months ahead.

4:34A lot more to discuss. That guy's got a lot that he has to share with the world, and I have a lot of questions for him. So that's the expectation there. So those are items one and two for you this morning. And now let's get to the President of the United States. I've got some breaking news from the President this morning. He's busy on Truth Social, which makes it a day that ends in Y. And here's what the president had to say today. Eyes on this. This is about the people of Minnesota. President Trump says the following, do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers, and addicts, rapists, violent, released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention.

5:27All the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and the mental institutions from where they came. Most in foreign countries who illegally entered the United States through sleepy Joe Biden's horrible open borders policy. Every place we go, crime goes down. In Chicago, despite a weak and incompetent governor and mayor fighting us all the way, a big improvement was made. Thousands of criminals were removed. Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the$19 billion that was stolen by really bad and deranged people.

6:06Fear not, great people of Minnesota. The day of reckoning and retribution is coming. The president is bringing up something that I've been obsessing over, which is, do the people of Minnesota truly know how good it is that ICE is on the ground in their state right now? Do you know how jealous law-abiding citizens are across the country that Minnesota gets the benefit of a law enforcement surge right now? the kinds of human beings that are being picked up by ice the president is barely scratching the surface as he describes how evil they are and i want you to see this because this this information of how evil these human beings are came to us this week and is absolutely worth dwelling on on your screen if you're watching our video podcast rumble.com slash vince you can see mug shots of many of the creatures that president trump and ice are pulling off the streets and these images come to us by way of ice sent to bill malusion in the fox news channel and bill has described some of the crimes that these guys have committed and i'm just i want to I want to just prepare you for how vile they are.

7:31Take a look at this. ICE has provided Fox a list of the most egregious criminal illegal aliens they've arrested during their surge in the sanctuary state of Minnesota, says Bill. It's the most disturbing list he's ever seen, including numerous convicted child rapists, sodomizers, and 10, count them, 10 convicted killers. These are homicidal maniacs who are running free in the streets of Minnesota. They've gotten tons of bad guys, most with deportation orders going back many years, several from Laos, Somalia, and Sudan. You ready? Here we go. This man, Sridoran Fyvan, a Laotian illegal, convicted of strong-arm sodomy of a boy and strong-arm sodomy of a girl with a deportation order since 2018.

8:26He's a child rapist. Tu Vang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of sexual assault and sodomy of a girl under the age of 13 and procuring a child for prostitution. He too has a deportation order since 2006. That's what we would refer to as due process. Get the hell out of our country, our system has declared. And yet they're protected by the Democrats who run Minnesota. Chong Vui, a Laotian illegal convicted of the strong arm rape of a 12 year old girl, violent rape of a 12 year old, kidnapping a child with intent to sexually assault her, deportation order since 2004. Another Laotian illegal convicted of strong arm rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, strangulation, deportation order.

9:13Another Laotian illegal convicted of rape and child fondling. Deportation order. Another Laotian illegal order. You seeing a trend here? A lot of people from Laos in Minnesota. What are they doing in Minnesota? Illegal. Convicted of rape, rape with a weapon, sexual assault, deportation order since 1996. Bill Clinton was president then. A Mexican illegal, Hernan Cortes Valencia, convicted of sexual assault of a child. DUI, deportation order, 2016. a Somali illegal convicted of homicide. What are murderers doing running around in the streets of Minnesota? A Salvadoran illegal convicted of triple homicide, deportation order since June of last year.

9:57A Mexican illegal convicted of homicide. Sudanese convicted of homicide. Laotian convicted of double homicide. Sierra Leone illegal convicted of two counts of homicide. Mexican illegal, homicide. Somali, manslaughter. Sudanese, homicide. Guatemalan, negligent homicide. NDUI, Burmese illegal, negligent homicide. Now, I'm just reading, this is a, look at this list, holy cow. So we got rapists, murderers, child rapists. These are the worst human beings imaginable on the whole planet. and they're right here in the United States of America and they're being protected by Tim Walz and Jacob Frey and Keith Ellison and Ilhan Omar.

10:46And these are all people who keep stepping up the microphones and pretending like something awful is going on when ICE comes in to enforce the law. I'm sorry, the men and women of ICE are doing the damn job. They're getting in there and they're getting these people out of these communities. There shouldn't be protests against ICE. Minnesota should be throwing ticker tape parades for the men and women of law enforcement who are doing this long overdue job? How do you have people with final deportation orders, homicidal rapists who've been in the country since the Clinton administration with final orders of deportation and nobody's gotten them out yet?

11:21Now's the time. Better late than never. Get them the hell out of our country. And the reason I'm highlighting this list, first of all, is to emphasize the value of what ISIS is doing. I want you to know that. I want you to, it's, it's, this is really important that we know how vile these human beings are that we're picking up. But understand something else. Were it not for Bill Malusian and ICE being on top of this, would people know about this? The reason I want to obsess over how disgusting these killers and rapists are, is because the men and women of ICE are getting no credit from the legacy media right now for the job they're actually doing.

12:02They're cleaning up our communities. Every single one of these communities that has the benefit of ICE officers going in and cleaning them up, they shouldn't be attacking ICE officers, assaulting them, protesting them, assassinating them. That stuff is insane. They should be throwing ticker tape parades for these guys because they're getting the right people off the streets. And there's a media blackout on this story. There's a media blackout on it. And as far as I'm concerned, that ends with us. We've got to tell this story because the legacy media will not. They will not. So God bless the Trump administration.

12:37God bless the men and women of ICE. Please keep up the great work and get these people the hell out of our country. Just the absolute worst imaginable here in America. Get them out. Get them out. All right. Let me fire this dude. I heard some guy named Dan's looking for works at Vipers 6969. Fair. Fair, fair. The least I deserve. I don't know what the hell happened to my Internet. OK. Coming up on the program, I've got more details for you on the left's insanity. They're not demonstrating gratitude at all for ICE. And I got some breaking news on the Somalis who are in Minnesota. President Trump with a huge announcement for Somalis, not just in Minnesota, but all across the country.

13:22Breaking news this morning. You're going to want to hear it. it's all ahead on this edition of Vince. I want to thank our great sponsors, Bone Charge Infrared Sauna Blanket. An amazing product.

15:03The glitch was not Vince's fault, people. It kind of is, Road King, because I don't have like a backup internet connection here. I just was panicking about the one internet connection to see if I could get it to work again. So sort of my fault. I didn't anticipate every possible eventuality. The president of the United States has some breaking news today, which is that he's booting thousands of Somalis from the country. And he's given them a deadline of St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. Get out by St. Paddy's Day. Here's the breaking news. Fox News has the summary this morning. A couple outlets do.

15:39The Trump administration is ending temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis in the United States. The Trump administration ending temporary protective status, TPS, for Somalia. And this will affect several thousand Somalis who are currently living in the United States and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under this protection. Somali migrants with temporary protected status will be required to leave the country by March 17th. St. Paddy's Day. Quote, temporary means temporary, says Christy Noem in a statement to Fox. Country conditions in Somalia, they've improved. So no longer do they meet the law's requirement for temporary protected status.

16:24Yeah, that is really a key detail. I just want to remind people of that word temporary. What the hell does the word temporary mean does temporary mean forever does temporary mean for eternity does it mean perpetually does temporary mean always and never ending no temporary means there's an end date there's a drop dead date there's a get the hell out date there's a leave date there's an end to this generosity and so the by the Trump administration has said look Somalia is good enough go home go home so if you're here on a temporary basis go home further allowing somali nationals to remain temporarily in the united states says christine noem is contrary to our national interests we are putting americans first this contrary to our national interests isn't it nice to hear somebody tell the truth why would it be contrary to our national interest to keep somalis in the united states well here's a start how about 20 billion reasons how about the like the new york times straight up said when it came out with this coverage in November of all the Somali fraud going on in the United States.

17:31They consulted an expert on Somali culture and they said, tell us about Somali culture. What implications does that have for all this stuff? And their Somali culture expert said, well, the truth is Somalis have discovered that stealing from the government is kind of a feature of their lives. And they do it in Somalia and they bring that culture here to the United States of America. The New York Times said this like as an excuse for Somalis stealing from you. OK, well, if that's your culture, go back and embrace it in Somalia. Assimilate back into your home country, please, because you're not doing it here.

18:04You're just stealing from us. So the Trump administration has determined that, yeah, on net, this is a massive negative for us. So let's just end temporary protected status. And so they're doing it. God bless them for it. God bless them for it because you know i i like not being robbed i like thinking to myself hey maybe if the government is taking money out of my paycheck perhaps it could be used for some constructive purpose instead of just have me be robbed to you know catastrophic levels that would be nice so uh that's that's the latest there uh the breaking news this morning that the somalis uh the one not none again there's there's somalis who are currently american citizens in the united states that's a whole other question we got to denaturalize people who committing crimes and get them out of the country.

18:48But in terms of temporary protected status, out. There's also a lot of Somalis who are here illegally. Ilhan Omar tries to keep covering that up. But even this weekend, she was like, well, a majority of the Somalis are not here illegally. Okay. Well, if a majority are not here illegally, that means there is a group of people you're referring to who are here illegally. Get them out. Get them out. This is very straightforward stuff. um now in addition to all of this we don't just have somali problems we also have venezuelan gangsters in the united states you saw this past week that in the wake of the uh the minneapolis uh incidents the attack on an ice agent he had to discharge his weapon to defend himself and his fellow ice agents killing renee good there was also an attack on border patrol agents in Portland, Oregon, conducted by Trendy Aragua gangsters.

19:40Now, when Chris Van Hollen heard about this, he got very excited because he loves gangsters. He wants to go visit them in jail right now. He's super excited about it. He's already planning out his conjugal visits. He's going to love it. But for the rest of us, it's a total nightmare that we have Trendy Aragua gangsters in the country. And here's what we learned yesterday. The feds, meaning the Trump administration, say that the Trende Aragua gangsters rammed the border patrol with the Trende Aragua prostitute's car over and over and over again. This isn't like one of those like, whoops, we accidentally collided.

20:18Federal prosecutors officially charged a suspected Trende Aragua gangbanger for allegedly using a vehicle as a weapon against border patrol agents. The DOJ lodged criminal charges against Luis Nino Mankata, a Venezuelan national living illegally in America. They said Monday, during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Portland, Oregon on Thursday, Nino Mankata allegedly damaged property and put border patrol agents in harm's way when he repeatedly, remember words have meaning, repeatedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle with the prostitute's car, the Trente Aragua prostitute's car, TDA.

20:59Quote, anyone who crosses the red line of assaulting law enforcement is going to be met with the full force of the Justice Department, says Pam Bondi, in a public statement. This man, an illegal with ties to a foreign terrorist organization, should never have been in our country to begin with, and we will ensure he never walks free in America again, says Pam Bondi. You remember the other day, I don't know if you saw this, but CNN was referring to the Trendy Aragua gangster and the Trendy Aragua a prostitute as a married couple. Now, it's pretty obvious that this dude was her pimp, and they were going ballistic against Border Patrol, but they're a married couple.

21:37It's just like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Maryland man is just a Maryland father. Why are we hassling him? Well, he's an MS-13 gangster who was involved in human trafficking. Oh, details, details. The guy's a Maryland father, and Chris Van Hollen wants to share margaritas with him. this is crazy i can't even believe the world in which we live the fact the fact that we even have to explain this crap that's actually going on so in portland border patrol agents had to discharge their weapons to defend themselves against another attack this time by a terrorist group called trend de aragua just in case you're wondering what the state of play is and in seattle we talk about twin cities on the on the west coast that are kind of dominated by lefty craziness portland oregon seattle washington those are the two and you're always like oh my gosh what is going on in seattle now do they have autonomous zones again what the heck's happening seattle it's like seattle wants to be known for coffee instead it's known it's known for mayhem that's it mayhem and miserable weather so what's going on in seattle well the democrat mayor there is a socialist called katie wilson and she's a psycho and katie wilson just got caught I say caught she's she's proud of this she's bragging about it she's hanging out at some public event declaring that if you're there illegally in Seattle you're a member of the community that community is yours now fact check no it's not but here she goes is your city and when I say that I mean everyone people who were born here in Seattle people who came here from across the country and from across the world.

23:17Whatever the status of your immigration paperwork, this is your city. No, it's not. You deserve to be safe, to live a dignified life, and to have a say in your government. There is power. I love that. Oh, and you deserve to have a say in your government. Yeah, here's a fun trick. Your government isn't even in this country. Go somewhere else go home go home have a say in your government because this ain't your government this is not your government this is the united states of america and every single person who's in a position of power in the united states has to be brave enough to say that what you are witnessing from the mayor of seattle in theatrical fashion but it's true of democrats everywhere is rank cowardice and election rigging that's as simple as that it's cowardice in the face of chaos and And of course, you know, if you if you lead a household, you know that if you're cowardly in the face of chaos, your family is going to be decimated by your weakness.

24:17It's straight. That's straightforward. That's true for a country, too. If leaders are cowardly in the face of chaos, your country is decimated by your weakness. Simultaneously, Democrats are using illegals as a means to rig elections. It is super clear. How do they do that? Because the more illegal human bodies you pack into a state or a congressional district, the more congressional seats and electoral college votes you get. That's it. This is why they conceal in the census whether or not somebody is actually a citizen of the country, because they're using human bodies as a means to accrue political power, and then pretending like we're indecent for noticing.

24:53It's disgusting. So it's time for that to end. Coming up in a moment, more of this chaos is not just limited to the West Coast. It's also on the East Coast.

Okay, so I just saw a headline out of North Carolina that is like, just when you think things are like super crazy, like how could it get crazier? Well, North Carolina is demonstrating how it could, at least one sheriff is. in North Carolina, a Democrat member of the state legislature says that the sheriff of Mecklenburg County, this is Charlotte Mecklenburg, has threatened her with harm if she doesn't protect the sanctuary status of the city.

28:29This is loony tunes. Listen to this. A moderate Democrat blowing the whistle on a sanctuary sheriff's alleged attempt to threaten her into voting against more cooperation with ICE. North Carolina State Representative Carla Cunningham. She's a Democrat. She was intensely pressured by her party to vote against a July 2025 override of Democrat Governor Josh Stein's veto of House Bill 318. This is legislation that required sheriffs to honor ICE detainers. That is, don't obstruct ICE. She's now alleging the sheriff of Mecklenburg County attempted to extort her when he suggested that she would, quote, get hurt if she helped Republicans pass the bill.

29:16Whoa, we got some Democrat on Democrat violence here. She says one of the first things he said was that the citizens of Mecklenburg County would come at me, she told the Daily Caller News Foundation. and she said she talked to the sheriff ahead of the vote and as the conversation went on he said he didn't want to see me get hurt and i said well you know i'm already under security which i thought he would have known because the charlotte mecklenburg police department knew because the general assembly police work with the local community but then he said but you're in my county but you're in my county cunningham believes the implication was clear mcfadden was allegedly suggesting he would refuse protection for her if any members of the public attempted to harm her.

30:04This is crazy. It is not shocking, but it is appalling. Joining us now to discuss Matt Van Swal is a former nuclear scientist with the Department of Energy, an ex-photographer for all sorts of big brands. During Hurricane Aline, he worked with his neighbors in North Carolina to help rescue them and he joins us now matt good to have you back with us sir hey thanks for having me on vince what the hell's going on in mecklenburg dude the mecklenburg sheriff is threatening local politicians in order to maintain sanctuary status it's crazy i know and just in case people forgot this is the same county where arena zaruzka was murdered um you know from the from the repeat felon that they let out over and over and over again uh to terrorize citizens and then eventually kill Irina Zeruska.

Read the full transcript

30:53But I mean, it gets crazier than that. So the representative obviously said she thought that McFadden was telling her, you know, I'm not going to protect you, which is pretty obvious from the statement, because those two talk a lot. And the representative has been accosted at many of her town halls by her constituents. So he knows what's going on here. And in the filing, she says it was akin to a mafia boss saying, nice little story you've got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it, like what the mafia would do to extort you. I mean, it's just crazy to me, all of this over the sheriff not wanting to hold criminal illegal aliens in jail.

31:37Just today, we found out that there was a criminal illegal alien that is on an ice detainer that murdered two teenagers in Mecklenburg County. And he's labeled as a white strawberry blonde male. It's clearly Hispanic. I mean the corruption I feel like in Mecklenburg County, which is where Charlotte is by the way, is so insane. Even that original legal report goes on to say that Nick Fadden wouldn't let his officers work with ICE to detain people. But he would let his officers drive around representatives to, quote, topless bars. so it shows you where the uh you know priorities lie i guess in charlotte it's so crazy and it's funny you bring up topless pros because i was just thinking to myself this person's not a real sheriff like how could somebody who who pretends to be or who declares that they're a part of law enforcement then like just rampantly support lawlessness at that point you're a fake sheriff you may as well be a stripper dressed up as a cop because you're not a real cop you're just like a phony you're And then you go out there and then you root against law enforcement and you root for lawlessness.

32:53And then you in like the most low IQ mob threat ever are going after Democrats, even Democrats who are like, hey, maybe we should work with ICE. And you're like, no, actually, you're going to be physically imperiled if you do that. Well, it's funny you mentioned he's a fake sheriff because he's actually famous from being on a TV show as a fake sheriff. For real? Yes, for real. Yeah, that's that's that's actually a lot of people don't know that. But that's one of the things he actually played was as an actor. So anyways, but going along to your point of, you know, not protecting his police officers in the complaint that the representative put into the state legislature.

33:33It talks about this one officer, a jail officer that went in to go check, do like a routine search on one of the jail members, got stabbed in the neck with a shard of glass. and then McFadden comes in and says, oh, you shouldn't have been doing that with your other officer. You should have given him a bigger heads up. And I'm thinking, I can't even imagine how low the morale must be for these officers to have a sheriff that is not on your side 100 % of the time and then makes you, you know, play Uber driver for, you know, his friends that want to go to bars. Like, that's got to be so demoralizing.

34:12It's disgusting. So what impact is it having on Charlotte? Are the people of Charlotte waking up to this at all? You know, the Trump administration deployed immigration enforcement there. It became a big national scandal because, you know, because enforcing the law is apparently a scandal. They call it Charlotte's Web, which is a great name for the operation. Amazing. Are the people of Charlotte waking up to this that they have a deranged fake sheriff or no? I don't think so. I don't think so. This report was not really in any of the big local news stations in Charlotte. surprisingly enough they didn't really cover it and then during Charlotte's Web the entire coverage was on how awful ICE was being and if this is the craziest part I did not know this until very recently but apparently a lot of the local news outlets and news outlets in general employ riders that are paid by immigration non-profits I had no idea so I was reading these articles thinking oh this is some you know just normal news report no this this person works for like an immigration non-profit and is writing an anti-ice article i i i don't i don't know how that's what do you mean sorry so so there are local reporters like for the for the city newspaper you mean this is correct yeah for for the city newspaper i went and looked at one article and There's, you know, it's the Charlotte observer, right?

35:39Yeah, the Charlotte observer. And if you scroll to the bottom of the article, it'll say just a heads up here. The person who wrote this article is actually employed by X and X nonprofit. And it's it's an immigration nonprofit. And you're like, how is this allowed? Like, clearly, this is a biased article. Like, how is this allowed? But it happened all the time. And, you know, to me, what happened with Rene in Minnesota was just not a surprise. If you followed anything that was going on in Charlotte, I was shocked that this hasn't happened earlier because you've got these guys that are taking down the worst of the worst criminals.

36:22And then you've got mobs of people blowing whistles at them and screaming at them. Like, can you imagine trying to do this podcast? Just the podcast with mobs of people screaming at you all day? You do a terrible job. Imagine if you had a gun and were arresting a criminal. Like, it would be so much worse. And I don't understand why these people think it's safe to do something like this. Like, it's clearly not safe for anyone, not for you, not for the person being arrested, or for the ICE agent. Like, you're making their job terrible. So I think, you know, they're not waking up. I don't think the news is covering it.

36:59It's kind of just a sad state of affairs. It's a super sad state of affairs. By the way, there's an effort to get rid of this sheriff that's underway right now. In fact, guys, if we can go full screen, I want to show Carolina Journal right now. Here's a story on the subject. A hearing is scheduled Thursday on a petition to remove the psycho Mecklenburg sheriff. And that's set to take place later this week. And state representative Carla Cunningham is the Democrat that we've been talking about, the one who said she was threatened by the sheriff. She's one of five people who have signed the petition to remove him.

37:38So apparently that that very much is in play this week. So we'll keep an eye on that. But, you know, what is this, though? You know, Matt, why is it this is not the only place that we're seeing this in Philadelphia. We've got a psycho sheriff, too, who's saying that ICE is fake law enforcement. she's rooting on Renee Good the woman who just attacked ICE can you even begin to explain why it is that someone who does wear the badge of law enforcement would just take up a position of attacking them? I wish I had the answer to that I don't I can't quite explain it it seems like Democrat power politics more so than any kind of law and order it does it does seem very ego centered to me where it's like, you know, the federal government can come in here, but this is my jurisdiction.

38:30You kind of saw that in, you know, when he was threatening the representative, it's like, oh, but you live in my county. You know, it seems very ego driven. It's like, you have to do things my way or they're not going to get done. And there seems to be just, it's a great way to get votes in Charlotte too. You know, you've got to vote in the sheriff. So, So, you know, it's, you know, people seem to like that. In Asheville, where I live, the whole city just came out and said, you know, we're not working with ICE anymore. You know, we saw what happened in Minneapolis. We're not going to work with ICE anymore.

39:06And it's there, you know, a lot of these people are coming up for election. So it's a great way to get votes from your Democratic base. But also, the thing is, like, as you're describing this, I just keep thinking we're witnessing an insurrection. yeah we're witnessing a rejection of law and order a flagrant one and as it's been as it's true in american history it's often democrat governors or democrat leaders who are giving double barrel middle fingers to the american people and say we're not going to enforce the law we're not going to integrate we're not going to let these kids into this schoolhouse like over and over and over again and normally what ends up happening in american history is the president invokes the insurrection act and says no you'll follow the law and we'll send in troops to make sure you do do you think north carolina could benefit from that kind of move from the white house yeah we've uh i forget which representative um mark harris uh has called for the national guard to be deployed to uh north carolina i don't think it's a bad idea at all i think it'd be very helpful uh but but again as a north carolina resident you wouldn't be intimidated by the troops would you you wouldn't be you wouldn't be suddenly fearful that american troops are in your state?

40:14No, not at all. You know, if you're terrified of law enforcement, you probably have something to hide or you're doing something wrong. I was sharing this story just yesterday, but I was detained by Border Patrol in Arizona. I was near the border, and a dog picked up on something on the car, and they detained me and made me get out of the car and search the car. And I went on my merry way because I wasn't breaking the law. I didn't do anything wrong. It was you, sis. That wasn't your weed is what you're saying. No, the dog just perked on the car. There's nothing good. But it's like, yeah, there's no reason to be scared of law enforcement if you're not doing anything wrong.

40:54So, you know, send in the National Guard. You know, if they're not going to enforce the law, somebody has to. And if the state won't do it, then I guess it's up to the feds. Yeah. Yeah, rightfully so. All right. Well, Matt Vanswell, thank you as always, man. Good to talk to you. And thank you for being attentive to the needs of your country. I always appreciate you. Yeah, you do. There he is. Matt Van Swal. You can follow him on X. He's got a great and very busy account there. Matt Van Swal. He's inspirational, actually. He's a much better tweeter than I am. Way better. Matt Van Swal. OK, let me I mentioned the Philadelphia sheriff.

41:28We got updates on that chick. The fat lady who calls herself the sheriff of Philadelphia. she came out with a really deranged speech this past week where she was rooting on, just like the Hollywood celebrities at the Golden Globes this weekend, she was rooting on people who attack ICE. Now she calls herself law enforcement. Take a look at this idiot and what she had to say this week. Good afternoon. I'm Rochelle Belal, the sheriff for the city and county of Philadelphia. And I say her name, Renee Good. Renee Good. Rene Good. Rene Good. Rene Good. Rene Good. This should not have happened, but we're here today.

42:11Let note that law enforcement professionals, real ones, not the fake made up ICE probably Trump's new army to attack citizens of the United States. Did you hear what I said? I heard what she said and none of it makes any sense whatsoever. so you hear what she starts she starts with a chant like an incantation we just keep repeating the name Renee Good like she's Beetlejuice or something she's going to appear in the room if you say her name three times uh what the hell is that Renee Good was the woman who just attacked ICE and if anything if you're going to don that badge and all of what she's a four-star general in the Philadelphia police it's like so crazy and she comes out and then she's like condemning law enforcement.

42:58So on whose side are you on? Come on now. And then attacks ICE. And ICE, I'll remind you, what are they doing in Minnesota? They're picking up rapists and murderers and vigilantes, like crazy people who are misled by the radical left, by people like Tim Walls and Keith Ellison, the rest of these goons are going out in the streets and trying to obstruct and attacked ICE to stop them from doing this. So this fat chick is talking about how ICE is not law enforcement? No law enforcement professional wears a mask. That's not true. That's not true. Does Philadelphia have a gang unit? Gang units wear masks.

43:42Any cops that engage SWAT teams wear masks. I mean, if cop engages in a law enforcement action that would imperil his family, if his identity becomes public, then, yeah, they mask up. This lady has no idea what she's talking about. Where did they hire her from to pretend to be a sheriff? Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime, I thank God for our district attorney, Larry Krasner. Soros funded. Who say he's going to lock him up. And I'm saying now we are not going to whisk you away for them to hide your identity because when you do it there, you're getting arrested there.

44:23They're going to support the criminals. That's the statement from this lady, the sheriff of Philadelphia, which is amazing that I'm even saying those words, but there she is. There she is. And so that's the move that these people pull. I mean, this is the move that we're getting. And Tom Holman, the Borders are, He's responded to all of this. He just did an interview in the last 24 hours. He was asked about this this anti ice lunatic who's apparently in charge of the Philadelphia Sheriff's Department. And he said what you and I are both thinking, which is she sounds like a very dumb person. Cut to watch this.

45:01She can bring the smoke and go bring the fire. I mean, bottom line is, you know, her comments themselves speaks largely to her intelligence. So, look, we're going to continue doing this job. I don't know who she is or why a law enforcement official who took a sworn oath to enforce the laws and protect her communities would not want to work with ICE, who are out there arresting the worst of the worst. were taking public safety threats out of her jurisdiction and not just taking them off the street, taking them out of the country. Because number one, they're here illegally. Number two, they committed a crime against a citizen, some horrendous crime.

45:41So like in Minneapolis, you know, we looked at a number of the releases, a number of arrests we did in the last couple of weeks, and there's numerous people.

45:52Yeah. And he goes on to say, obviously, numerous people that are rapists, numerous murderers. I mean, Tom Holman's doing great work. By the way, Tom Holman should not be the only one who's out there in public saying all this. This is why I'm talking about it. And please talk to your friends and your family about this, too. You realize what they're picking up in Minneapolis? Rapists, murderers, the worst people imaginable. Trump isn't making it up. This is real. And it's really good for our country that they're doing it. But it's not just the government officials who are talking crap about ICE and imperiling them i've got i've got video here this morning of a yet another deranged lefty who's straight up calling for the murder of vice officers take a look at cut one hey so look i'm just gonna come out and say it um i don't really care about the consequences anymore i don't care we need to kill these people there's there's just an alternative i don't care if we say oh i've got the crazy eyes whatever yeah i do feel crazy because we've had three people die in like 72 hours and we've had over almost 30 die in the since in the last year to a group of quote-unquote law enforcement that is basically just buffed up mall cops right who are gun-triggering happy proud boys let's call them what they are it's the proud boys why do you think we didn't hear about them any of you heard about the proud boys all year suddenly no more nazi marches none of that shit right there we go they're nazis peyton said it best they're nazis and the only way to stop this shit let's be honest is going to be to get violent we got to get violent people and i'm tired of denying it and i'm tired of y 'all being pussies about it grow up we're not going to get through this holding hands peaceful protest only works if your enemy has a moral obligation to listen to it.

47:44They have none. You guys are sitting there holding up fucking signs and saying, oh, I'm mad at you. You're pathetic. Burn something.

48:00Obviously, that's one kid. One guy. But you know that that worldview is way more pervasive than it should be.

48:12last year we had a big conversation we had to keep having a big conversation about something called an assassination culture that's on the left assassination culture surveys including surveys out of rutgers university found that a majority of people who consider themselves on the center left or beyond in other words moderate democrats or beyond said they could justify the assassination of donald trump if necessary yeah i could justify that i could i could see why that would happen. Legit. Nearly as many said they could justify the assassination of Elon Musk. And this was obviously early in the years when Elon was very involved in Doge and helping the Trump administration out in its early days.

48:51The left was advocating for his assassination. Remember, they were destroying Teslas whenever they encountered them, including Teslas owned by fellow Democrats who had bought them through the years to stop global warming or something. and then of course charlie kirk was assassinated last year on september 10th during the presidential election we saw president trump shot and yet another assassination attempt that occurred that was stopped by secret service and so is there an assassination culture on the left the answer to that is a resounding and unfortunate yes there is and that guy's social media video where he feels completely comfortable just recording a threat to the men and women of ice uh which by the way should earn him an obvious visit from law enforcement clearly i don't know if i've i mean this is one of the clearest examples you've ever seen of somebody signaling their intentions for what they want to do and commit an act of murder He says it's not enough to just hold up signs and protests.

49:52We have to start murdering people. OK, that's how you get visited by law enforcement. But the fact that he feels comfortable doing that is a sign, I think, that that there is a broad problem on the left that's going to boil over into something truly awful. We've seen assassination attempts on ICE, especially in the state of Texas. We saw multiple. We saw one gunman open fire from a rooftop trying to kill ICE agents, instead killing illegal aliens inside of a vehicle. These things are happening. ICE is undergoing an 1800 % increase in assaults, an 8 ,000 % increase in death threats like the one you just heard.

50:29The risks are very real. And President Trump desperately wants to stop it. He desperately wants to stop it. And I'm rooting for him to do that. We've got to get control of our country. We can't allow violence to dominate because the whole thing will collapse as a result. so let's not do that let's not do that at all um also that guy seems pretty chippy for i mean he does have crazy eyes he's right about his own assessment but it's like he's telling everybody else to get violent i'm looking at him going i don't are you gonna do that you're gonna do that are you just telling everybody else to do it in social media um i hope neither of those things happens but you know man people get really brave in front of their camera phones okay let me um Let me tell you one last thing.

51:16I mentioned Pam Bondi. I feel like I shouldn't get out of here without a Pam Bondi update. Yesterday and Friday for that matter, I was calling your attention to the fact that the United States Justice Department, or at least the Attorney General of the United States, has very little role in the fraud investigator that the White House just created in order to handle nationwide fraud, including by Somalis. and we just got a and i said i just i said just mark that down just keep an eye on that because it's interesting to me that pam bondi is being excluded from that and we just got a wall street journal report now i can't tell you what's whether or not they've they've got this story dead to rights but it strikes me as interesting so i'm going to bring it up to you wall street journal report trump has complained about pam bondi repeatedly to aids that's the uh the piece from the Wall Street Journal.

52:06They got three reporters on the byline, Josh Dossie, Sadie Gurman, Ryan Barber. And they say that basically President Trump has been dissatisfied by the fact that we get all these prosecutions, including against people like James Comey and Letitia James and others, and then that somehow they get defeated in court through process claims and radical judges are throwing the cases out, and that Pam Bondi is just not being successful enough at keeping these prosecutions going. And it's really frustrating Trump. And it's certainly frustrating us, right, me and you, that we're not seeing all these people behind bars with more speed.

52:39And what role does Pam Bondi play in all of this? Now, I've told you many times that it's the United States Senate where we have so many problems. We need more U.S. attorneys and Republican senators are standing in the way of us getting that. So they deserve a healthy share of the blame here. But President Trump reportedly not exactly the most thrilled with Attorney General Pam Bondi. And the reason I bring this story up is because they cite what I've been citing here. Two things. One, they say Bondi has grown concerned in the past month about Trump's complaints. People in touch with her have said.

53:11A spokeswoman for Bondi said she's been focused on executing Trump's directive to make America safe again. But deeper down the piece, they go on to mention what I told you yesterday. Here's what it says. J.D. Vance on Thursday also unveiled an unusual arrangement. the creation of a high-ranking Justice Department post to investigate fraud that would be run by the White House and answerable to Trump instead of Bondi. Huh. Bondi thanked Vance in a post on social media. She worked with the White House on the position the department official said. Of course, they would say that regardless of how it was set up.

53:47And she and Vance chose it over the appointment of a special counsel. So the White House, they're playing nice with her publicly. There's even statements in this Wall Street Journal piece where they're saying, oh, we're working great with Pam. But I I'm sorry. My spidey senses are way up right now. Something interesting is happening. So keep an eye on that story. Keep an eye on the on the Pam Bondi saga at the United States Department of Justice. That's all I can say on that, because I'm watching this and I'm interested. I think something interesting is going on. Another big show coming up for you tomorrow right here on Rumble.
