You ever see this guy with the pillows on flats?
My pillow guy, Mike Lindell.
He is the greatest.
The My Pillow guy.
Mike Lindell.
And he's been with us right from the beginning.
And happy Friday, everybody.
Thank you for joining us on the Mike Lindell show.
I'm Heather Mullins filling in for Mike today.
We got a big packed show coming up.
There's been a lot going on across the country.
It's so hard to stay on top of everything.
But, you know, one of the big things coming out right now in the media is just really the implications of the Biden open border policy.
It's trickling into Minnesota.
It's trickling into other states across the country.
And the Trump administration has been doing a great job at reversing what was going on.
I mean, we're talking 25 plus million illegal aliens that were allowed into our country.
And now ICE has sort of this heroic effort to go and round up as many of these people.
We don't know where they came from.
A lot of the times they have criminal records, these gangs being released from other countries, dumped into our country.
This is what ICE is doing.
And our first guest that we're going to be bringing on here shortly is somebody who has actually covered the border invasion under the Biden administration, as well as the efforts of the Trump administration to secure that southern border.
He's down in El Paso, Texas right now.
His name is Anthony Aguero.
We're going to listen to a quick sound bite that he filmed, really showcasing you how much effort the Trump administration has been putting into securing our border.
So take a listen to this clip from Anthony and we will be joined by him on the other side.
So as we're out here in Sullivan Park, New Mexico, guys, this wall originally, this structure that you guys see right here was originally taken down by the Biden administration.
The minute Biden took office, this began.
They began to take this down.
And you can actually see where after they actually took this down, so many people started coming through here that they just makeshift, put it back up however way they could.
And this was the best job that they could do for our border security.
Luckily now we have President Trump that's back in office and he is continuing the construction of that beautiful structure right there, that 30-foot border wall with technology and sensors included and an anti-climbing barrier up top.
He is continuing the construction of the border right there And it will run all the way east to the right of that cross.
It will continue all the way over there.
We're very grateful and appreciative of President Trump and all of his efforts out here, guys.
And joining us now, Anthony Aguero, thank you for joining us.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah, so I mean, I love having people like yourself come on because I really believe in grassroots journalism.
I think it's, you know, something we don't see a lot of these days in legacy media, but we're happy to bring you on here.
You were on the ground for both the Biden administration and the Trump administration.
You saw the atrocities, the human trafficking.
I remember there's this one video you have pinned to your Twitter page that showcased these kids that were drugged and physically unconscious.
And it was just horrifying.
And that was under the Biden administration.
So tell us now, like, have you obviously seen a big difference under the Trump administration down at the border?
It's a tremendous difference.
It's a night and day.
The morale out there on the field right now with the Border Patrol agents is superb.
They're really excited and happy that they're actually able to be back on patrol and actually doing their job.
They're actually out there running after bad guys, making apprehensions and not having to be dealing with a lot of the times of the processing involved in those massive surges that we witnessed.
It is a significant difference on the way that they are currently now operating.
The way that this is effective is by us actually occupying.
So currently there are a lot of border patrol agents right now on the line occupying a lot of the open crevices, if you will.
They are also being backed up by the military.
We have military equipment known as striker units currently down on the border.
And there you can see some of the construction that is now taking place.
President Trump is finishing the construction of a 30-foot structure all the way from Santa Teresa, New Mexico into Sunlam Park, connecting the border wall to the structure known as the We Build a Wall structure.
The first privately funded citizen wall, which was pretty much directed by Steve Bannon.
That wall will be meeting up with the new construction wall that is being presented out there right now under the Trump administration.
The striker units are a big, big deal out there because they're able to see miles into Mexico.
In some of the landscape out there, it is hard to see with the naked eye.
However, the striker units make it very easy for Border Patrol agents for miles on out to be able to detect individuals that are trying to make their way into the country.
Yeah, so I mean, it's refreshing to hear you, somebody that's actually been down there saying that, yes, we are seeing significant changes.
We are seeing, you know, morale boosted by Border Patrol agents.
Like after watching your videos, I can only imagine what it was like being a Border Patrol agent under the Biden administration when you witness firsthand things like human trafficking of children and you're unable to actually do anything and get justice for those kids.
So can you talk a little bit about that?
I mean, have you heard, like, because I know, like, you obviously saw that that's probably not happening under this administration, but are you up to speed on any of the efforts from the Department of Homeland Security and Border Troll in terms of like finding all those missing children that were trafficked under the previous administration?
As of right now, last I checked, they have rescued and found at least 120,000 of the potential 500,000 children that came in under the Biden administration as unaccompanied children.
Obviously, that term is just a term.
There's no such thing as an unaccompanied minor.
These children were, in fact, trafficked all the way to the southern border from other countries.
Little Miguelito didn't wake up in Guatemala Saturday morning and decide to skip cereal and cartoons and say, hey, I'm going to the U.S. That's just nonsense.
These kids were in fact trafficked here.
The Biden administration at that point removed all sorts of DNA testing, something that Trump actually implemented during his tenure.
And so the Biden administration removed that.
And immediately, as soon as that DNA testing was removed, that is when we saw a massive influx of children and even what we call the recycled children of the border coming in with different adults, the same kids over and over and over, because they were expediting the entry for some of these adult males that were coming into the country.
After that individual was released into the country, the individual would then give the child back to the traffickers and the child would go back into Mexico to be brought back into the United States again with another adult to gain the system and expedite the entry into the United States.
I mean, that right there just makes me feel like there needs to be some investigations into the Biden administration for their role in trafficking these children because just what you just pointed out there with the DNA testing and how the Biden administration removed that.
And then all of a sudden we have this influx of these unaccompanied minors, right?
Which, you know, actually also happened under the Obama administration back in 2014.
I remember when there was a whole flurry of unaccompanied children at the border and they actually wanted to put some of them at on joint base Cape Cod back because I used to live on Cape Cod.
And so this was literally in my backyard that they wanted to put some of those children there at Camp Edwards and house them.
So it was just like, what is really going on with these children?
That was under Obama.
Now we're, you know, talking the same thing happening under Biden.
And also we have a clip from you showing, I guess, some border wall that was installed under the Bush administration that people were cutting through.
So this has been a decades-long issue that the Trump administration has finally put a good faith effort to stop.
So let's take a look at the clip you have of the bush border wall.
As you guys see that hole right there.
All of these squares that you see here.
See all these little squares?
All that, all that, all that, all that.
Yeah, all of those are cutout repairs that have been repaired by Border Patrol.
And that's how easy it is to breach this old George Bush wall.
You can literally snip it very much so, like you can snip a chicken wire fence.
So if you see all those squares, those are all repairs that have been done to the wall.
And it's excessive.
And you know, when I look at that, like, it just reminds me of how well like the Bush administration, like George Bush gets along with all the Democrats, the Hillary Clintons, the Obamas, right?
They all posed for photos together all the time.
And President Trump was always the outcast.
And it seems like whether it was a Republican or a Democrat that we had in the White House for the last several decades, nobody took border security seriously the way that we're seeing the Trump administration do it.
Would you agree, Anthony?
It's surreal to sometimes I'm out there in the Arizona border and I see the border wall that President Trump has installed out there.
And to think that at some point there was only five strands of Constantino wire that was our actual border.
And for so long, for so many years under so many different administrations, it wasn't until President Trump actually started taking notice and actually pointing it out.
Hey, this is going on in your own backyard.
I think many of us would probably still be blindly in the dark thinking our border at some point was actually secure, thinking that these politicians actually cared about the well-being of this nation.
And President Trump came along and blew the lid wide open on what was currently going on out there and came in and definitely secured it.
Now we're still seeing instances very much like anything, the cartel, it adapts and it evolves.
So desperate times call for desperate measures.
These individuals are now forcing their way into the dark tunnels in El Paso, Texas.
They're coming out of the sewer like ninja turtles in the middle of the night oftentimes.
And Border Patrol does their best.
They actually have a unit that is designated for these tunnels that are often breached by the organized crime on the other side of Ciudad Juarez.
Many a times they will tell a migrant that cannot afford his entry into the United States, okay, we're going to let you in, but you got to jump over and breach this manhole.
And that will be your pay.
That'll suffice for your payment.
So then the migrant jumps, they allow the migrant to come in.
The migrant follows instructions.
He breaches the manhole and more migrants flood right in.
That has been a repeating story in the last couple of weeks.
And it just continues to be more and more common as time progress out here on the southern border.
Yeah, I mean, that's a it's so hard to wrap your head around really how bad this had gotten prior to the Trump administration.
I know Border Patrol over on Instagram, I saw them put out something saying that the suit there were attempts through the sewers for illegal immigrants trying to, yeah, there you have it right there, storm drain smuggling attempts.
This is the official Border Patrol Instagram account saying that as they reach historic levels, smugglers are now pushing people into more dangerous situations in failed attempts to evade detection.
So you've been on the ground there covering a lot of this stuff.
And one thing that really stuck out that you had sent over to me was this video that we have of, I titled it Spiritual Warfare because that's what you mentioned in the video.
You actually show this sort of satanic shrine on the other side of the border.
So why don't we take a look at this video that you have and then we'll talk to you on the other side.
There's the shrine.
They pray to their devil cult.
We pray to Jesus Christ.
That's the difference.
You can see where it is a spiritual warfare.
I mean, that just gives me chills, Anthony, because, you know, I remember the president of El Salvador in an interview where he was asked how he took El Salvador from the murder capital of the world and made it, you know, a safe place to go to.
Now, he said, one, they put God first, but he also said the people they were fighting were truly demonic, like actual satanic individuals.
So, like, when I saw that video that you showed me, it's just like, like, I've always felt this was a spiritual war, but to see them actually building satanic shrines, is that?
I mean, how often do you see stuff like that down on the border?
It's actually, unfortunately, very common.
There are multiple shrines like that all along the southern border out here in the El Paso sector.
I know at least of four different ones.
That one is actually like a medium-sized one.
There are actually one that's even bigger than the one that you actually saw.
And one thing about these shrines is that there is money.
Oftentimes, there is liquor and sometimes even drugs in there that are presented as an offering to whatever the heck they are praying to, and nobody touches it.
It is left uninterrupted, completely left alone until authorities at some point, you know, okay, that's enough.
They go clear it out, and then it happens all over again.
It is nothing less than a spiritual warfare, it is good versus evil.
And a lot of the times, border patrol agents, upon making apprehensions, find trinkets from these individuals and even these individuals attempting to put hexes on our border patrol agents.
I would invite your audience to check out the American Border Story as we are uncovering a lot of what is currently still transpiring down on the southern border and now shifting our attention and focus to the northern border.
We're about to release a mini documentary series, one of several of them to come as we will be making our way back up north.
Currently, our video of some of our findings is in production.
And so look for that here very, very soon in the next, maybe in the next week or so, the American border story across all platforms.
And you guys will be able to see some of the stuff that we have been finding.
But back to the findings and the spiritual warfare.
Some of these individuals go as far as trying to curse Border Patrol agents during the apprehensions.
It's so crazy.
And I will be showcasing some of the stuff that Border Patrol agent that I rode with actually has in the back of his vehicle all of the trinkets and all of the spiritual findings that he finds from these individuals about apprehensions.
I mean, like, do we know who's building those shrines?
Like, is it like connected to any organization or any church of anything?
Like, do we know like who's behind them?
It's it's the criminal organizations that are south of the border that are putting those in those locations.
Well, Anthony, we thank you so much for coming on, and we're definitely going to have to have you back on here.
Remind our viewers once again: like, when does your documentary come out?
When can they go view it?
And we're going to put your social media info on the screen as well.

Well, thank you so much, Anthony.
And up next, we have another guest coming on who is going to be diving into the chaos in Minnesota, which coincidentally is a result of the Biden open border policy.

And welcome back to the Mike Lindell Show.
We're now going to move into Minnesota, where the Biden border invasion is now impacting a dear friend of mine, Neil Johnson, his state, right?
Neil is a local to Minnesota.
He joins us now, and we're going to unpack really the latest chaos that's been unfolding there.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Neil, it seems to reach a new level of chaos.
You know, what's really interesting about this is back in June, Tim Walz was at a hearing at the Congress of the United States of America, and he said very clearly that Minnesota's job is not to enforce immigration, right?
That that is not their job.
That's the Fed's job, and we don't stand in their way.
And now look at the crap hole that the Twin Cities have become.
And there's this narrative that it's all the fault of these federal officers when before Tim Walz was saying we have no problem with immigration enforcement.
Now they obviously have a problem with immigration enforcement.
And I wonder at this point, just what exactly is going on, just how bad the financial trail is, just how deep and dark this goes when the governor of Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis are willing to make the statements that they're making to encourage these riots.
What is really going on?
Now, interestingly enough, Heather, I am in the process of looking into something here, dealing with airports and then also banks due to the fact that all this cash has moved out of the Minneapolis airport.
It's also moved out of airports, C-TAC, and then I think it's Cincinnati, Ohio, and then one in Texas.
The thing with C-TAC and also Ohio, those are both large Somali populations again, where this cash is flying out of the airports.
It's all getting routed through Amsterdam, but a bank actually has to be involved in that.
They use some ancient form of money transfer.
And I can't remember that Hawal or something.
I'm doing a video on it right now and I have it over on the other computer.
But the bottom line is they're working on this.
And I've reached out to people in the banking industry in Minnesota because there's one or two community banks from Minnesota that are facilitating these money transfers.
And I want to know who it is.
Well, funny you bring that up, Neil, because once upon a time, I actually worked, I worked for a bank personally.
And I know a lot of the inner workings, like when I think it was John Solomon put out a story not too long ago saying that these Somalis were taking suitcases with millions of dollars and bringing them through and declaring the money at the airport, right?
And so they're saying, yay, we have this money.
My first thought, having worked at a bank once upon a time, was how did they get that much cash without one, the bank knowing, and two, the Federal Reserve knowing?
Because having worked at a bank, I know that you only keep so much cash on hand at the vault, right?
We audit it several times a day.
If anything in excess of that, we actually have to go in, we use a system and we order it from the Federal Reserve, and then it gets delivered to us by those, you know, the Brinks trucks or trucks.
Yeah, but you order it.
So that request specifically goes to the Federal Reserve.
So if these Somalis were taking millions and millions of dollars of cash out that frequently, you would have one had to have a bank that was complicit, right?
And two, you would have somebody at the Federal Reserve that was complicit.
All of this stuff is tracked.
It's traced.
There's a paper trail for that cash.
So it'll be interesting to see how this investigation unfolds and whether or not we're going to see somebody at the Federal Reserve arrested as a result.
Well, the issue is very little of this is spontaneous.
Now, I was down in the Twin Cities the other day and I actually did some live streaming.
This was the day after the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
But when I was down there, there was only like 200 people there, probably.
Most of them were actually from the area, but I did have some people following me around.
And as soon as they found out who I was, they wanted me out of there.
And Nick Sortor, of course, has been doing a great job of covering this.
I've been watching some of his videos, like the other night when those federal vehicles were broken into and a patrol rifle was stolen.
We have that clip.
If we can go ahead and quickly play it, we'll get your thoughts on the show.
Almost there.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Bullet.
It's a bullet.
It's a 20 sale.
I don't know.
Ah!
And I mean, that's actually horrifying.
And I'm like, I'm sitting there.
I didn't know it was Nick Sortor's footage at first.
Nick's a friend of mine.
And when I saw that, all I could think about is like, I hope he's being safe because these, those people raiding that federal vehicle, one of them got away with an FBI rifle.
But fortunately, Neil, not for long.
We actually have a DHS tweet here.
We're going to put on the screen.
That tattoo on his face was a dead giveaway.
And it looks like Homeland Security has already apprehended him.
His name is actually Raul Gutierrez, and he's reportedly a Latin King's member.
We have another tweet we can put on display there.
His beautiful mug shot.
He's no stranger to law enforcement and is reported to be confirmed a Latin King's gang member, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
So you have gang members in Minnesota breaking Breaking into federal vehicles and stealing their weapons.
And again, what was Minnesota governor saying that it's not their job to enforce immigration?
Yes, yes.
He's basically, and he was saying that basically the feds could come in and do their job.
And you can see that he clearly does not want the feds in here doing their job.
And this all leads me back to, I looked this up too for you, Heather.
It's called Hawala.
If I'm pronouncing that wrong, it's H-A-W-A-L-A.
It's an ancient informal trust-based system for transferring money globally, operating outside traditional banks by using a network of brokers, that's hawaliters, who settle debts through non-cash means, often relying on secret codes and personal honor, making it fast, discreet, and low cost, but also vulnerable to exploitation by criminals for money laundering and terrorist financing.
But here's the thing: a bank is involved.
So the sender gives cash to a local Hawala broker, okay, in one location.
Then that sender side contacts a counterpart in the recipient's location, often via email or phone, sharing the secret code or password.
On the recipient's side, they receive the code.
Then the recipient provides the code to their local hawaliter and then receives the money minus fees.
The two brokers settle their accounts later, often through trade cash or other agreements, okay, not necessarily transferring the original funds.
And that settlement is where the bank then becomes involved because that money has to then be settled through these transactions.
The cash has to be there.
And this is interesting because this was actually just caught by Data Republican in an article by one of the people who was up for a PhD at the University of Minnesota, Somali, who actually talked about this in an article, just admitted it openly.
It's pretty wild.
So I'm really curious where this all goes.
Again, I've reached out.
It looks like there's the potential.
My early leaves are showing because he said it was only one or two banks.
And according to my contact in the banking industry, it looks like there is one or two banks that they've already heard about this through inside the banking industry.
So this story is going to get more interesting.
Yeah.
I mean, it would not surprise me one bit if those banks were involved.
That's what I said the second I heard about all this money laundering and the cash.
It was just somebody at the bank's news.
So that'll certainly be something to follow.
The other thing, I want to play another quick clip.
I think you may have mentioned this earlier, but you mentioned when you were down there at the scene of the crime where Renee Good was killed, you said that you were like heckled as a journalist.
And I actually had another friend of mine who I won't name his names, but I hadn't, he's been on the ground covering some stuff.
And I'd asked him to come on here, but he actually said he couldn't because of his own safety because he was worried that he, if he went on any conservative outlets, that he would be jeopardizing his own safety during the pursuit of his coverage.
So he's down there sort of, you know, relatively anonymous.
But we do have a clip of another journalist that was not only heckled, but he was actually intimidated to the point he was being accused of being ICE because of the vehicle he drove.
And then to try to, you know, calm these rioters, which I'll refer to as domestic terrorists, because, you know, protesters, one, don't make you stop and show you the inside of their vehicle.
But that's exactly what this journalist felt he needed to do in order to keep the peace and protect his own life.
So take a listen to this clip.
I don't have to do this.
I'm happy to do this.
Yeah, yeah.
That's all.
You just got to stop this.
No, he's got a lot of camera equipment.
I think we can save this with it.
All right.
Yeah, I'm not.
I tried to tell first lady that you're pretty brief.
That's all I can do.
I already shot listen.
First of all, I don't know.
I don't have to do any of that, but I'm kind.
I respected the argument.
Yeah, no, no, no.
I really appreciate what you guys are doing.
I just don't know how to do it.
Were you here yesterday?
Yeah.
Yes.
He was here yesterday.
I can testify that.
I didn't recognize him.
No, I appreciate it.
I'm thankful.
I'm not here to help you.
No, I don't think the fact that you're in a vehicle like this and just get it.
With all due respect, everybody, I can get help.
You can't.
He's going to rent something out.
I mean, if you find your paper, that's not how it works.
This is my business.
I know.
This is my work.
So, anyhow, I hope you guys understand.
He was here with a video camera yesterday.
I did see another vehicle with them.
I did see it.
No.
I told him I would need the media.
Okay.
And what made people get out?
I'm not going to lie, Neil.
That like boils my blood watching that.
Like, who do these people think they are?
Right?
Like, making this guy show the inside of his vehicle.
This is America.
We have one freedom of the press for one.
We have freedom of speech.
You can protest, but you don't have the right to shut down someone's travel.
You don't have the right to block a road.
You don't have a right to intimidate people.
That's domestic terrorism.
We need to stop calling it protesting and start calling it what it really is, Neil.
Well, I think the most shocking thing about that video, for those paying attention, is right now, all over the news media, they're talking about show me your papers, trying to claim that ICE is randomly stopping everybody, saying show me your papers, and that they're profiling people.
Now, as you watch that video, you see that they were profiling this person because he was white and the vehicle he drove.
And they basically wanted him to show the papers.
That was his camera equipment.
Now, that is hypocrisy on display to a level that's unreal.
In fact, this is exactly to a certain extent what I experienced while I was down there.
So I was in their quote-unquote autonomous zone before it was taken down.
While I was there, they acted like they had the right to control those streets and those sidewalks.
That's why that person who was following me around when they figured out who I was said that I had to leave.
At that point, I was already leaving.
And I've wondered how I would respond to that if they told me I needed to leave while I was still working.
Because I'm not, I had my daughter with me.
So I may have just, for her safety, just left.
But normally in those situations, I'm going to go look at him and go, what?
Are you kidding me?
This is a public sidewalk, a public street.
I will walk where I want to walk and I will do what I want to do.
Now buzz off.
And then I'd probably end up like that other guy who we saw the video of on X slugging it out with all these people taking him down.
I just, I don't know.
I know.
I wish we had to.
But I like, this is real, right?
And like, this is the point I want to drive home to people watching, right?
You don't have to like ICE.
You don't have to like what they're doing.
And you have every right to protest.
You have every right to yell as loud as you can what you think and how you feel.
And you can vote accordingly.
You can vote in anyone you want that believes in the same immigration policies you believe in.
That is all fine.
But that is not what is happening at these quote-unquote protests.
The media labels them protests, but we're seeing American journalists, and I don't even care if it's CNN or Washington Post, you don't have a right to stop those journalists.
You don't have a right to stop ICE and impede their efforts in apprehending people in this country illegally.
I mean, you don't.
And what we're getting to is a very dangerous point in American history when, you know, I have dear friends of mine who's not even a conservative, really, Neil.
And he's saying he can't come on any network that's even deemed conservative, or he's worried that he's going to be tacked by these leftists.
if he comes on our network.
I mean, that to me just shows you how serious of a time we're in in American history.
And I think I have to agree with Elon.
I think it was Elon, Nick Sortor had posted something saying that Elon is actually calling for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in this case.
I mean, we are talking with domestic terrorism.
We are talking money laundering that involves the very state level government officials that are supposed to be keeping the streets of Minnesota safe.
So do you anticipate that happening, Neil?
Do you foresee the Insurrection Act getting, you know, called into action by the president?
And, you know, what do you anticipate for Minnesota going forward?
Well, so the Insurrection Act, near as I can tell looking through some history on this, has been invoked 17 times in the past.
Okay, so this wouldn't be something new.
Now, they are going to have a nuclear meltdown over this.
The left will.
Obviously, most famously, I think, was done by Abraham Lincoln when he had to utilize the Insurrection Act.
I don't know what's going to happen, but here's one thing I'm really watching.
So on December 10th, Stephen Miller posted something and he said, in 10 days, justice will be, we will finally see justice.
And he said, undoubtedly and irrevocably, something to that effect.
You could probably find the tweet or the post, but that's what Stephen Miller had said.
We are now sitting on the 16th.
So in three more days, we hit the 20th.
And I'm really curious as to what that means because I also heard Kash Patel talking about going after the financers of terrorism.
And I heard Tom Holman talking about it just today.
So is that what he's referring to?
Because they're looping this big dragnet of the terrorism financing.
And I'm talking about the domestic terrorism you're talking about.
Some people call them protests.
The reality is what's going on in Minneapolis is not a protest.
They are impeding federal law enforcement operations.
It is law enforcement impediment.
It is not protesting.
When you are getting between the arrestee and the arrest, you know, a suspect, this is not at this point, you are not innocent anymore because you are impeding that operation.
Okay.
And so now we're seeing these other three gang members getting shot the other night, Venezuelan gang members, after they had, you know, hit a guy with a shovel and a stick.
Two more piled on him after he was in a fight with the one guy to start.
And we're seeing more and more of this.
And imagine where the left is at right now.
They are now defending a gang member.
I mean, so I saw a post of Nick's earlier today that said, you won't believe all the leftists in the comments attacking me for shit for basically helping cause the arrest of this gang member who stole a machine gun.
I don't know if it's a machine gun or if it was an AR without, you know, it looked like a pretty, I mean, it's an FBI grade weapon, right?
Like this, so this political protester is breaking into a federal vehicle and stealing their firearms.
Let that sink in.
I thought the left was anti-gun, but they're accusing members with having stealing FBI firearms, apparently.
But we're running out of time here, Neil, but I do appreciate you coming on and sharing your insight into Minnesota because you live there.
That's your home.
And to see this happening is terrifying.
And I hope it doesn't spread to more American cities, but it probably will.
But where can people go to follow you?
I know you have a great YouTube channel and all that jazz.
Yeah, I'm on YouTube.
Just if you search the web for Lumberjack Logic or Neil Johnson, on X, I'm Neil E. Johnson on X.
So, yeah.
And I'm actually working on a dynamite video today.
I can't wait to get it done.
I'll finish it up after I get off here with you.
But there is so much to cover in Minnesota.
The hypocrisy is on display.
And I hope this gets sorted out.
And I would rather Trump invoke the Insurrection Act and actually quell this right now than let it continue on.
Yeah.
Amen.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Joining us now is Lindell TV Zone Allison Steinberg to tell us a little bit about what's going on on the Hill.
I know I'm hearing a lot, Allison, about just the funding, the spending packages that are looming and some of the votes happening.
So what can you tell us on that front?
Yeah, that's right, Heather.
A lot going on with the spending packages and efforts to keep the government funded.
As we know, we endured the longest government shutdown in our nation's history just last year.
So we have to pass these spending bills before the deadline here at the end of January.
Now, with that, there are some bills that have passed through the House and now the Senate, but I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing, though.
Yes, it is going to keep the government funded, which is good, of course.
There's also some really questionable items that have been shoved into many of these spending packages, which is what I wanted to highlight with you.
The first one is the one that passed the House just yesterday morning.
This is one of the $90-plus billion-dollar mini-bus packages.
This had the support of every Democrat as well as 81 Republicans, which definitely is concerning.
Within this particular spending package, we have $315 million.
This is not the one.
This is actually the Senate one that I'm going to talk about in a moment.
But to start, this House package allocates $315 million for the National Endowment for Democracy.
This is a radical left-wing group that wants money basically everywhere but America and literally seeks to censor and silence conservative voices.
They have most notoriously gone after President Trump successfully shut down his social media accounts.
I actually had the opportunity to talk with Congressman Eli Crane about this yesterday, and he was trying to sound the alarm, trying to educate Republicans not to fund this, but unfortunately, they didn't really listen and didn't seem to care.
He actually put out an amendment as well to stop this from being funded.
Unfortunately, it got through.
There's also, in addition to $315 million for this National Endowment for Democracy, is $643 billion for the United States Agency for Global Media.
This is a government entity with a reputation for waste, fraud, and abuse.
$1.4 billion for Egypt, including free scholarships for Egyptian students, permits for funding the Lebanese armed forces, $4 million for HIV AIDS testing here in Washington, D.C.
I mean, it just goes to show these are all Democrat pet projects that are, for some reason, being put into our bills, even though the Republicans have the majority here in the House.
So, like I said, unfortunately, this passed yesterday, along with another big bill that passed the Senate yesterday as well.
This is now the Senate list for the 176.4 mini-bus monstrosity, as Senator Rand Paul is calling it.
He posted to X a list of everyone that voted for this spending bill.
So you can see if your senator is on there, I would advise giving them a call and telling them that you don't approve of this and to perhaps educate themselves ahead of voting next time in the future.
But basically, this one is just a bloated spending package.
Like I said, $176.4 billion that had the support of 82 Republican senators, unfortunately, and many of whom are seemingly maggots.
So you really have to stay on top of these people.
I mean, we have Senator Ted Cruz.
We have Kennedy, Senator Kennedy.
We have the leader of the Senate, John Thune, on there.
So it really makes you question what is going on in the Senate.
Why do bloated bills continue to get passed while bills like Tim Burchett's bill defunding the Taliban and the SAVE Act that would require a voter ID just sit dead on arrival in the Senate?
It's incredibly frustrating and something that I think we need to continue to stay focused on, Heather.
But you bring up a great point.
And I know, like, especially the one on the voter ID, election integrity amongst Republicans, I think it was at the CPAC straw poll one year.
It was the number one issue.
It was election integrity.
So why is a bill like that not getting through?
But then something like this, you have all these Republicans voting with Democrats.
I mean, what is the real reason though?
Like, is there any talk amongst the Republicans that are actually representing the Republican Party of America?
Are they talking like, is this a case of lobbyists controlling the lawmaker or who's really pulling the puppet strings?
Because their votes don't seem to reflect the actual will of the American people, particularly the Republican Party.
No, you're absolutely right, Heather.
And it's such a great question.
It's one that I actually asked yesterday when I sat down with Congressman Eli Crane.
He said that he thinks the root of the issue here is that if you look back historically, Republicans largely support donating to many of these left-wing causes and have for years and years and years.
So they see it on the paper and they're just like, oh, we funded this before.
Let's continue to throw more money at it without actually digging into it and doing their research.
They don't even pay attention to what they are voting in favor of, what they're throwing all of our hard-earned tax dollars towards.
So it's a big problem here in Congress.
I think it happens time and time again.
These members of Congress that were elected to represent we, the people, are not doing that.
Instead, they are just, you know, rushing through this, trying to get it done.
And they're not actually paying attention to what they're voting for, which is extremely concerning.
And then it brings us back to the issue of let's get back to single issue bills instead of throwing all of this garbage into these bloated massive spending packages.
It's got to stop.
And if it doesn't, I don't, I don't know how we ever reform this ongoing issue, quite frankly, Heather.
Yeah, I mean, the single issue voting, it just seems like it'd be a no-brainer.
But then how would a lot of these politicians get their kickbacks and campaign donations, you know, around the corner if they don't fund the people that fund them?
But do we anticipate President Trump vetoing any of these bills?
What's the latest on that front?
Well, that's a really good question.
There are certainly large and growing calls for President Trump to veto these bloated spending packages right now.
Big topic of conversation being had on X.
I know Senator Rand Paul also posted, if we can throw up his tweet, he's saying, people ask, quote, what is MAGA?
Who is MAGA?
Well, here's what it is not.
Wasting $8 billion to study if Japanese quail get more promiscuous on cocaine.
Because yes, that is one of the items that is now funded in these bloated spending packages.
He's now saying President Trump should veto all funding to the NSF, which has spent decades burning taxpayer money on absolute nonsense.
And I totally agree.
I think we need to continue to talk about this, make our voices heard, let the president know, because I think he is very responsive to our feedback that we do not want this funded.
We do not want our hard-earned tax dollars funding this garbage.
Maybe there's a chance, though I will say historically, he's never vetoed any spending packages, any appropriations bill.
Historically, maybe that could change and maybe this could be the first time that he does.
So I guess we should remain hopeful until we know more.
But I also think that we should continue this conversation, especially online where the White House seems to be very receptive to our feedback.
Amen.
Amen.
Well said.
And, you know, I do want to actually, we're running out of time here, but I do want to get to a clip of your interview with Congressman Eli Crane, where you ask him in closing if we're ever going to be able to unite the country again.
And his answer is very powerful.
I think it was actually right on point.
And he also brings up, you know, what happened to my good friend here, Charlie Kirk, who, God rest his soul, I wish his voice was still in the arena of ideas going into this next year.
But let's take a listen to this clip and we'll get your reaction on the other side.
Is there any hope at actually restoring this deep division that has been seeded throughout the nation and creating a United States of America once again?
I would like to say that, you know, I'm hopeful, but I don't really see that happening.
I think so many of these, you know, individuals have been indoctrinated in our education system that obviously has leaned left for a very, very, very long time.
They've been taught to hate our country.
And it's all for them, the issue is never the issue.
The issue is always revolution.
And this is just a shout out to a friend of mine and a martyr, Charlie Kirk.
You know, I remember meeting Charlie several years ago and, you know, just being super impressed with him because many of us, like including myself, thought that academia was so far gone.
Why even waste your time fighting there?
Find a new area that's not so far gone that we can actually make headway.
Charlie showed us that many of us were wrong and that you could make a headway in academia and he did it.
He did.
You know, when you, I couldn't believe some of the campuses that he showed up to, hundreds and thousands of young students who were so tired of being force-fed a narrative and being failed by their teachers if they didn't regurgitate the narrative who said, hey, I'm willing to hear another side.
And Charlie was so persuasive, so well prepared and so intelligent, he was able to convince many of these students that, you know, there is an alternative and it's a lot more rational and it's a lot more in line with our founding fathers and what they wanted.
And so I hope that movement continues.
And, you know, I still have many friends at Turning Point.
But when it goes to whether or not this nation can be united, I think there's only one way for that to happen.
And that's for us to turn back to God as a nation.
You know, when you see a nation or a family or a community turn away from God, it always ends the same way.
That just gives me chills because I remember when I first met Charlie Allison, it was, he was one of those people, like I met him on Media Row at a turning point event back in 2019.
And having interviewed so many people in politics, politicians, people, Charlie stood out to me as somebody that was just so genuinely authentic because he was following the Lord.
Like when you want to talk about actually using your life as a servant for Christ, that was Charlie Kirk.
And he stood out from everybody else in politics.
So it's refreshing to hear a member of Congress actually usher out those words that until we turn back to God, that we're not going to get through this.
But that does give me hope, right?
Like if Charlie believed that our country could be saved and that our youth could be saved, then we need to carry that torch.
So I guess my final question for you is just on that front, right?
Like I've seen at the Pentagon, you know, Secretary Hegseth bringing God, bringing Christ back to the Pentagon.
What do you see as far as God and Christianity and this spiritual battle on the hill there?
Are you seeing, you know, more congressmen maybe like fighting that front?
Or what does the lay of the land look there?
Well, I appreciate you asking that, Heather, because I feel like I am literally entering a spiritual battle every time I set foot in this building.
It is pretty intense here.
And the more we continue to chase after some of these, namely Democrat members of Congress, the more, you know, that battle is truly felt.
It's like a demonic presence here, truly.
There are good members of Congress, Eli Crane being one of them.
And I really appreciate his statements talking about God and the fact that society largely has fallen away from God.
And that is one of the big problems in society today.
And how can we expect society to function properly the way it was intended to, the way our forefathers and founding fathers intended for this to function?
It's never going to happen, but that should not stop us.
Excuse me.
I think we should remain hopeful and continue to do what we can to be the light in the darkness.
The Bible says that, you know, with the Lord, we have a hope and a future.
So we need to have our sights set on heaven, not on this world, but we can continue to spread truth and do good while the time in the time that we are here.
So that's my goal.
And I am not going to stop, Heather.
And we don't want you to stop.
And we don't want those watching to keep praying for Allison because she really is doing the Lord's work there at the Capitol.
And, you know, also pray for the people like Elon Omar that she's going up against, you know, like pray that their souls get saved.
We gotta, we gotta wrap up though, Allison.
That's all the time we have for now.
But once again, we thank you for joining us.
Thank you so much, Heather.
My pillow guy, Mike Lindell.
He is the greatest.
The My Pillow Guy.
Mike Lindell.
