00:00Stephen, Illinois Governor Pritzker just called for mass protests and disruption,

00:06saying Republicans cannot know peace, while Trump's border crossings are down 95% and ICE is locking up 800 criminals.

00:13Is Pritzker inciting insurrection, and will DOJ take action?

00:19Well, what I would say is that his comments, if nothing else, clearly can be construed as inciting violence.

00:25So, President Trump survived two assassination attempts against his life.

00:30Of course, there's been many more credible threats against President Trump and his family and associates.

00:38We've, of course, seen the spate of left-wing domestic terrorism all across this country.

00:42By the way, the destruction of property sits directly adjacent to attacks on humans and physical attacks.

00:52So, in other words, once you tolerate and once you allow for attacks on property,

00:56you're just a step away from people throwing Molotov cocktails into people's, Molotov cocktails in people's homes.

01:02And you've even seen some, I think one example of a formerly prominent Washington Post journalist,

01:10who seemed to be celebrating the murder of a health care CEO, right, health insurance CEO.

01:16And that's the point we've reached in this country, where people are engaging in rhetoric and behavior

01:23that puts the lives of public servants in danger, puts the lives of conservative Americans in danger.

01:29And so, that's the first thing I would say.

01:30And then, of course, secondly, right, just this war that Democrat governors and mayors are waging against federal law enforcement.

01:38I mean, this is nullificationist behavior. This is successionist behavior.

01:42But they're saying they don't recognize the supremacy of federal law enforcement

01:46in terms of protecting the lives and livelihoods of American citizens against a foreign invasion.

01:51Never seen anything like it.

01:53And, of course, the result of their conduct is that they're allowing illegal aliens to go free and rape and murder their own citizens.

01:57So, I can't imagine having a leader in a city or a state that would privilege the well-being of illegal alien murderers over their own citizens.

02:05But that's where we are right now.
