President Trump recently made some big moves with ICE in Minnesota that some believe was a surrender to leftist protesters. But Glenn Beck believes Trump is playing a very different game here. Glenn explains how Trump's actions may actually be a checkmate on Minnesota's leadership: either give him what he really wants, or admit their true intentions ...

This was a very interesting analysis.
Which I agree with. The Democrats wanted him to invoke the Insurrection Act. He is smart enough to know that if they want him to do something (really), then maybe he should do the opposite.
The Trump administration has two objectives ... remove criminal illegals and source the billions of dollars of fraud ... Tampon Tim is stuck right in the middle ... ICE is a different operation than the search for the fraudsters, but they both intersect in a commie intersection ..
The goal is always MAGA. The how is the fun part......................
When I heard Chris Plante say this morning that it seems Walz and Frey are being a touch more cooperative (which of course doesn’t mean they’re being VERY cooperative), I got to thinking Trump may have, at the very least, shaken them up a little.
True.
I hope Glenn is correct. But i thot he said he was going to also give criteria to know it’s working and i missed that.
Frey says he won’t enforce Federal immigration law that was passed by Congress and is the law of the land. So, if the law is not binding on Frey, then why should it be binding on Trump? What about no one is above the law, that we hear endlessly from the democrats?
Tampon Tim literally is NOT a bright bulb... What has some so called 'MAGA" supporters stunned is the difference in the FRAUD to the tune of B I L L O N S by somebody ... and the number of illegals literally orchestrating the F R U A D... NO way the democrat party are ignorant of the billions in fraud ...
NOW, hello ... who do you think the upper class employ to clean their abodes??? why they USE the illegals to clean their stools and pretend they are offended by the L A W.. Liberals in action ... the lawyers, the doctors and the public 'servants' alll feed at the same I L L E G A L trough.
Thanks for posting this. I feel a little better. Now I will see how it works out.
It’s not a Shakespeare. It’s a ratcheting up.
Noem is DHS Sec. Has a huge department to oversee. No need for her to be on the ground. Right now FEMA is more important.
Bovingo also. He oversees all ICE everywhere.
This is Homan’s job. Obama gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts back then.
Only Rinos and FRinos wad their panties and clutch their pearls.
Don’t want “protsters” killed? Tell them to STOP obstructing ICE doing their legal JOBS.
And for those who thinks they were hired, handed a gun and thrown out instantly the fray with zero idea of how to do the job are, frankly to me, ridiculous.
“”””It’s not a Shakespeare. It’s a ratcheting up.””””
I believe Secretary Hegseth just gave them the go ahead to use Fort Snelling as their base of operations. That means no protesters can get in there. I believe the agents will live there.
How “It’s not surrender “ became Shakespeare is beyond me.
But if he removes Federal agents, then illegal criminals might swarm and crime will be terrible. Oh, that works for me. The lib tards might beg for Federal help.
Just freaking write it down.
I’m not watching a 15 minute video.
Auto-correct is the new AI.
I am trying my posts with no auto-correct because I can mostly see errors. Transpositions are harder to detect.
So glad Glenn came to his senses about Trump, and this video shows that obviously he has studied up and come to understand how Trump makes his moves.
amen
I don’t know what Trump told Walz and Frey, but it was probably “fix this sh*t now or else when Peggy Flannagan gets arrested for ICE chat, we might ask about your involvement!”
