Hodgetwins react to January 13th Minneapolis footage allegedly showing Alex Predty violently attacking federal officers by spitting, kicking vehicles, and damaging property. While facial recognition reportedly confirmed his identity with 97% accuracy, the hosts dispute DHS claims that Predty held a handgun, asserting bystander video shows he carried only a phone. They condemn Democrats for shielding undocumented immigrants to protect political power in swing states like California and New York, arguing Minneapolis police should have cooperated with ICE to arrest him immediately rather than allowing his subsequent death by Border Patrol agents.

Predi's Obstructionist Behavior00:08:31
All right, we have new video of Alex Predi.
I am so surprised and shocked.
I can't believe his behavior.
He's anything but a peaceful protest.
He's an obstructionist.
He's an anarchist.
He might be a nurse, but he is no angel.
Check this video out.
This is a moment the news movement filmed on January 13th in Minneapolis, showing a man who appears to be Alex Predty interacting with federal immigration agents 11 days before Border Patrol shot and killed him.
Our footage was analyzed by the BBC, whose facial recognition technology confirmed his identity to a 97% degree of accuracy.
On the morning of January 13th, our team received a tip that federal agents were blocking a street at the corner of East 36 and Park Avenue in Minneapolis.
Arrived around 10.15 a.m.
We saw observers.
This dude is spitting on federal agents and kicking and damaging their vehicles.
That is nuts.
That's not a peaceful protest.
Dude, and here I am feeling sorry for this guy because he lost his life.
This guy was a I ain't gonna speak ill of the day, but this guy wasn't a good guy.
He was anti-law enforcement.
He's in an ARCUS, which in my book makes you a piece of drivers shouting at the agents as they walk back to their vehicles.
When they started driving away, the man kicked their taillight.
That is nuts.
Yeah.
He should be in jail.
I have no empathy for this guy.
They said they received a tip around 10.15.
I wish you want to bet it was Democrats.
I'm not talking about their constituents.
I'm talking about elected officials, people that work for them.
How are these people getting these tips?
It's got to be an insider.
Yeah.
An agent then got out of the vehicle, grabbed him, and pushed him to the ground.
During the altercation, agents fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd.
They continued to hold the man down before they retreat and he walks away.
You know you're in the wrong if you hang around a bunch of screaming liberal white women.
Being a man, you should take a look at the mirror.
So wait a minute.
Why am I here with a bunch of crazy cat ladies kicking and damaging ICE vehicles, spitting at them?
Maybe I should readjust my perspective of reality.
Mike, my perspective on life.
What am I doing here?
I'm an ICU.
He was an ICU nurse?
He's a nurse at a Veterans Hospital.
Something to that effect.
But why would a nurse be out here acting like a complete orangutan?
The man in our footage is wearing a similar outfit to what Predty was wearing on the day he was.
Get these women.
A similar outfit.
He's wearing the exact same thing, it looks like to me.
This is his riding clothes.
Well, I don't think the people that work in a veterans hospital don't think they make much.
It's probably the only outfit can afford.
Yeah, look at this woman over here screaming.
Look at this.
What appears to be a gun is also visible.
Yeah, his gun's right there.
That's gotta be him.
They said AI said it was a 90%.
97%?
Yeah, it's gotta be him.
It's gotta be him.
He's got the gun in the same exact spot.
Yeah, if it's not him, he's got a twin brother.
Yeah.
Visible above his waistband.
Here he continues to stand at the scene.
This is crazy.
So, you know what I think ICE was doing?
Giving him a warning.
And I think that day when they was trying to arrest him, I guess he went through all his warnings and they said, you know, we have to arrest the guy.
You know, if just speculating, I think that's what happened.
See, they didn't even have the manpower to arrest this guy.
They don't have the manpower.
If Minneapolis PD was cooperating with ICE, they could actually arrest this guy and got him off the streets and you would have saved this man's life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I don't think the ICE agents even noticed the gun this time.
They didn't even notice it.
With all that chaos, you might be correct.
On the day he was killed, the Department of Homeland Security claims Predi, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, approached officers holding a handgun.
That claim has been contradicted by analysis of bystander videos from multiple news investigations, which concluded that Predty was holding a phone, not a gun.
Look at all this chaos.
Democrat, if y'all think that is peaceful protesting, if you think, Democrats, if you think that's peaceful protesting, you need your head examined.
This dude is complicit in his own death.
Yeah.
What a shame.
They could have arrested him that day, prevented this from his, preventing him from dying.
Or the Democrats could have been rational, sane human beings and that spread fake news or misinformation about what ICE officers are actually doing.
Yeah, and have Minneapolis PD cooperate with ICE.
Yeah.
These two people will still be alive.
They called him a fascist whore.
Yeah.
All they're trying to do is arrest somebody.
And look what they have to go through just to be able to arrest and detain people and try to deport them from our country, the dangerous criminals that they're seeking.
This is what they have to put up with every day.
The white progressive.
That is nuts.
Shortly after the altercation we filmed here on January 13th, federal agents drove away.
Didn't even arrest him.
Soon enough.
That would have saved his life.
We left the scene.
But if you let them get away with that, well, if you let them get away with that, these people start to feel invincible that you can't touch them.
Right.
And then when two wrongs come together, like, I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, I think the police union up in Minneapolis, they came out today.
I think the head of that police union.
Right.
So he came out and told Governor Walsh and the mayor of Minneapolis, y'all should let us cooperate with FICE.
If we cooperate with FICE, I guarantee you, Renee Good and Predty are both alive today.
Guaranteed.
And I don't think that's even an opinion.
It's a fact.
When you cooperate with ICE, when law enforcement cooperate with each other, things like this don't happen.
They don't have to worry about pushing people out of the road or detaining people that this is not their focus.
They can do their job and arrest people and deport them.
Yeah.
We'll start the process.
Yeah, you got these ICE agents performing like three different separate entities' jobs.
Yeah.
That should be local PDA arresting these people.
Yeah.
Should be.
And then ICE can focus on arresting illegals.
Simple as that.
That dude was a nut.
Yeah, but y'all know why.
Democrats calling these people their neighbors these illegals?
Because Democrats are posturing for their constituents to paint a narrative.
Hey, these are our neighbors.
No, they're not their neighbors.
Census Power and Deportations00:00:45
Democrats are trying to shield these people from deportation because they're going to lose congressional seats in Congress.
Yeah.
They're counting on the census.
They may not be voting.
They may not be voting, but they're counting on the census.
And these illegals, they live in where?
Blue areas.
So blue areas get more seats in the house.
That's why they're so defensive.
That's why they're going to war trying to keep these people in the United States because they lose a lot of power.
I think I was reading the California and New York, they're going to lose eight seats.
