Roger Stone dissects Minnesota’s anti-ICE protests as a "well-financed insurrection" led by Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, exposing encrypted Signal chats linked to militant networks and the fatal shooting of Alex Pretty. Trump demanded ICE cooperation, citing $M fraud in Somali NGOs, while appointing Tom Holman to negotiate—threatening the Insurrection Act if defied. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania mother Shannon Grady faces $500K permit demands after challenging COVID mandates, with warrantless raids over alleged environmental violations. FBI Director Kash Patel condemns left-wing ICEWATCH networks, but a Biden judge freed BLM leaders charged in a church invasion, emboldening disruptions. Stone contrasts Trump’s robust health with Biden’s decline and warns congressional cuts to rural hospitals—24/7 lifelines for emergency care—threaten patient access nationwide. [Automatically generated summary]
Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
Don't cut rural health care.

I'm your host, Roger Stone.
All eyes continue to be trained on Minnesota, where the evidence from this past weekend and the extraordinary revelations by both James O'Keefe with O'Keefe Media, formerly with Project Veritas, probably the best-known undercover journalist in the country, as well as the incredible reporting of an individual journalist, citizen journalist named Cam Higbee.
It's abundantly clear that what we see going on in Minnesota are not spontaneous, indigenous, peaceful protests against ICE detaining dangerous illegal criminals, but more precisely, a well-oiled,
well-financed, well-coordinated insurrection in which, first of all, Tim Walsh and the mayor of Minneapolis forbid local police to assist ICE agents in the discharge of their duties.
When Tim Walsh, as governor, called in the Minnesota National Guard, they essentially protected the violent demonstrators and protesters, giving them hot coffee and donuts, as well as clearing their no-go zone in downtown Minneapolis.
Then the situation escalated further by this incident in which Alex Pretty or Pretty, who was heavily armed, but not considering the conditions of his legal Minnesota concealed carry permit, had no ID on him.
And that situation escalated.
It's kind of like Rash Oman, that famous Japanese noir film where multiple people look at the same event and see different things.
But President Trump has moved to defuse the situation, opening a dialogue with Governor Tim Walsh.
Now, Tim Walsh is desperate to distract from his role in the multi-million dollar fleecing of the American people through all of these Somali-based fake nonprofits and NGOs, taking advantage of child care programs, COVID-19 programs, transportation programs for the elderly.
And he would love to distract from the fact that he has been subpoenaed in an investigation into that multi-million dollar theft.
So, but those who said that President has thrown in the towel or that he's backed up must not have actually seen what the president said.
The White House is actually drawing a firm line in the sand on the issue of law and order.
And the president directly confronted the governor of the state over the state's refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
So let's listen to Caroline Levitt because she lays out the situation almost perfectly.
It is President Trump's hope and wish and demand for the resistance in chaos to end today.
That's why President Trump spoke with Governor Waltz directly this morning, and he has outlined a clear and simple path to restoring law and order in Minnesota.
Number one, Governor Waltz Mayor Fry and all Democrat leaders should turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons and jails to federal authorities, along with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation.
Number two, state and local law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal aliens who are arrested by local police.
And then thirdly, local police must assist federal law enforcement in apprehending and detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes, especially violent crimes.
If Governor Waltz and Mayor Fry implement these common sense cooperative measures that I will add have already been implemented in nearly every single other state across the country, Customs and Border Patrol will not be needed to support ICE on the ground in Minnesota.
ICE and local law enforcement can peacefully work together as they are effectively doing in so many other states and jurisdictions.
Additionally, President Trump is calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass legislation ending sanctuary cities once and for all.
American cities should be safe sanctuaries for law-abiding citizens only, not for dangerous illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's laws and do not belong here.
We hope Governor Walls will do the right thing and continue to work with President Trump to keep the American people safe following their call this morning.
Americans overwhelmingly want exactly what President Trump is delivering, strong borders and strict immigration enforcement against the worst illegal aliens, of which there are still hundreds of thousands to deport from the interior of our country.
The most peaceful way to carry out this vital public safety mission is for Republicans and Democrats to do it together and for state and local law enforcement to work together with federal law enforcement.
We want to let cops be cops.
You wouldn't know this continues to be a very popular policy position from the biased media coverage over the course of the last few days, but polling shows huge support for this exact thing President Trump is calling for.
More than 80% of Americans favor deporting illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes.
A country unable to deport criminals who enter it illegally is no country at all.
The open borders agenda of Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the Democrats.
So according to Levitt, the statement released by Caroline Levitt, the president spoke with Tim Pon Tim and he laid out very clear common sense plan to restore public safety.
The president, however, is demanding that Minnesota turn over all criminal legal aliens currently held in state or local jails, along with those who have outstanding warrants or no criminal histories, for immediate deportation.
He's also calling on local law enforcement to turn over any illegal arrested in a new crime but not yet moved to trial.
He's also called on local law enforcement to completely cooperate with ICE by transferring all illegal aliens who get arrested and also assisting federal agents in apprehending these fugitives.
So tell me where Trump has thrown in the towel.
This is how immigration enforcement already works in responsible states across the country.
You don't hear about incidents like we've seen in Minnesota, in Texas, or in Florida, but you see that they are rampant in Minnesota.
Why?
That's because in Texas and Florida, local and state law enforcement cooperate with ICE as opposed to fighting them.
Now, the president also clearly making some revisions.
He's sending Tom Holman, a man he trusts, to negotiate directly and talk directly with Tampon Tim and Keith Ellison and the other state officials.
Holman has a relationship with these people from his service in the first Trump administration, at least with some of them.
And then additionally, of course, the president has made it very clear that if the situation spins out of control, he will consider implementing the Insurrection Act of 1807.
But the president's decision to fire the head of the Border Patrol, Bovino, tells me that there is a dichotomy between those experienced ICE agents and those working for the Border Patrol, many of whom are undertrained in these online temporary courses.
And therefore, they have no experience in crowd control.
They have no experience in law enforcement.
President's moving very quickly, I think, to fix that.
And I think that is a very, very key factor here.
But again, you look at the statement put out by Caroline Levitt.
First of all, Governor Waltz, Mayor Fry, and all Democrat leaders are required to turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated.
As I said, state and local enforcement must agree to turn over all the illegal aliens arrested by local police.
This is not Donald Trump folding.
This is Donald Trump holding the line.
The president understands the optics of enacting the Insurrection Act of 1807.
He also is very clear that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats intend to try to hold the president and the American people ransom.
But again, 70% of those who are being arrested have criminal records either in their country of origin or here, or they're awaiting prosecution and trial on crimes here other than the crime of just being in the country illegally.
The other point that people get missing is that 80% of the American people continue to support the efforts by Donald Trump to collar, arrest, and deport the most dangerous criminals.
You wouldn't know any of this from the biased news media coverage, but those are the facts.
The most peaceful way to carry out this vital public safety mission is for Republicans and Democrats to work together and for local and state law enforcement to work with the feds, not against them, as we've seen in places like Chicago, where J.B. Pritzker, the Orotund, that's a new word.
I have one of those online programs where they suggest a new word to you every day to expand your vocabulary.
Today's word was Orotund.
It basically means corpulent or fat.
And the governor, Brandon Johnson, who has a 6% approval rating and whose IQ is 1.1, you'd have to water him like a plant.
They have made sure that the Chicago police and the state police in the state of Illinois will not come to the aid of any ICE agent whose life may be in danger because they are menaced by these thugs.
And the state is being flooded with paid operatives.
Who is paying for the flatbed trucks?
Who is paying for the pallets of bricks?
Who is inside these signal chats?
I find it really disturbing that the lieutenant governor, the number two to Tim Walsh, and Walsh's chief political operative, the campaign manager of all of his campaigns, probably the most influential operative in the Minnesota Democrat Party, is also embedded in these same signal chats where they use spotters and spies and they take down, for example, license plate numbers.
They let their network of radical extremists and violent thugs know where ICE is and what ICE is doing so they can interfere with their mission.
And that reeks of insurrection to me.
So Tim Walsh is walking a very, very dangerous line here, in my opinion.
Not long ago, I got a call from the National Inquirer.
They're doing a story on President Donald Trump's health.
This is another canard of the left.
They want to continue to insist that our president is not hail and hardy, which is absolutely absurd based on the fact that he has taken all of his medical tests, including cognitive tests, which he's not required to either take or release the American people and has done so.
Donald Trump's Endless Energy00:04:53
How ironic that the people who hid the fact that Joe Biden was essentially a vegetable in diapers through much of his presidency, heavily drugged.
This explains the Auto Pen and a number of other bizarre actions, including this extraordinary string of pardons for violent criminals, child pornographers, child sex traffickers, drug dealers, as well as the,
I would call it, prophylactic pardons for criminals like Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci and Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and Eric Suawa and many others, all by Autopen.

You know, it just outrages me that the people who never question Joe Biden's health point to bruises on Donald Trump's hands or some noticeable swelling in his ankles to try to imply that he's in ill health.
I knew both of Donald Trump's parents, Fred and Mary Trump.
They were both very productive into their 90s.
Donald Trump's ancestry is, of course, Scottish and German.
These are very tough people.
Donald Trump has always had extraordinary energy and health.
He has never once smoked a cigarette and he just simply has never tasted alcohol.
Even Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recognizing the president's steady diet of Kentucky fried chicken, which he loves, as well as McDonald, which he really loves, says it's incredible that Donald Trump is even alive.
But the president has released all of his medical tests, including, of course, his cognitive skills, which are off the charts for a man his age.
Joe Biden would never take such a test because he could not pass it.
He's always had an extraordinary level of stamina and an incredible work ethic.
When I worked for him back in 2000, he would fly to Palm Beach from New York virtually every weekend on his big 727.
Sometimes it would be full, sometimes it would just be the president, then Donald Trump businessman, and his family.
Sometimes I would bum a ride because I had a small apartment with my wife in South Beach, Florida.
So we would, in the wintertime, we would leave Manhattan late, or actually Teterboro, the private airport in New Jersey outside New York City, Friday afternoon, but we would always fly back Sunday night, which I thought was a little odd.
I asked him why he didn't just fly back very early Monday morning.
And this was long after the time that he was already a billionaire.
And he would say, well, because I have to be behind my desk at 7 a.m. on Monday.
Donald Trump has always excelled as a high-performance athlete in high school in the New York Military Academy, playing baseball, football, and soccer.
He's also, by the way, a scratch golfer with an incredibly powerful swing.
He's always had this extraordinary vigor.
He sleeps little.
He does watch Fox.
He's made all his legitimate medical tests public, and they're all exceptional, as I say, for a man his age.
That they would question his health and his stamina.
This is a man who, even after he retires, is working the phones, working the internet, calling and dictating late into the night.
It is not unusual to get a phone call from Donald Trump at, you know, 1:30 in the morning where he's still working.
So he is working every day for the American people.
Harassment in Chester Springs00:15:12
When we come back, an incredible story about a couple in Pennsylvania, Shannon and Jason Grady, they stood up to the local school board, and now they have been targeted by the far left and the state and county officials in Pennsylvania in a campaign of harassment surrounding their homestead in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.
They have a 24-acre spread where they raise goats, ducks, turkeys, chickens, and rabbits with their five children.
They have a home they purchased in 2019.
They live in a 200-year-old farmhouse, and they have been the target of the most outrageous overreach by local government, and it's all politically motivated.
When we come back, Shannon Grady, a Pennsylvania citizen, but also active with Moms for Liberty, joins us in the Stone Zone.
We'll be right back.
The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
Shannon Grady and her husband Jason own a 24-acre homestead, as I say, in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, where they raise goats, ducks, turkeys, chickens, and rabbits with their five children.
Family purchased the property in 2019 and gradually converted a former horse pasture into a functional family space, including a small pond with a natural spring used for recreation and also for watering the animals.
But unfortunately, Shannon Grady and her husband have been targeted by state and local officials over completely what I believe are fabricated environmental infractions in an effort to target them.
What began as an emergency storm repair during Hurricane Ida in 2021 has since escalated into a year-long legal struggle with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, in which the Grady family believes correctly that they're targeted out of vengeance by state and local authorities due to Shannon Grady's advocacy against some of the COVID restrictions and her criticism of the local school board.
Shannon Grady joins us in the Stone Zone now.
Hey, thanks for having me.
Shannon, this is an extraordinary story that I think the people need to know about how this attack on you and your family and your property has spiraled out of control.
First, let's talk about your activism regarding COVID restrictions and the local school board.
Yeah, I generally kept to myself prior to the school shutdown.
And, you know, when the masking mandate was put in place, I kind of just kept to myself, kept quiet, and I just kept my kids home.
I didn't send them to school.
I kept them online and I didn't really cause a stir.
I never complied with any masking mandates anywhere I went.
I just lived freely.
But when the COVID restrictions continued, it was supposed to be two weeks and then it was two years in our school district.
My son was about to enter high school.
And his high school was one of the schools in the district that you have to apply to.
It's a STEM academy.
So they had no in-person option.
So prior to the start of that school year, I was researching, you know, because we had no avail with our school board to listen to facts, listen to us talking at the school board meetings, et cetera.
So I was researching the school codes and I found a section in the school code that allows you to file a petition to remove your school board.
So I, knowing nothing about anything, I was just a really upset parent.
I filed a petition to remove the school board based on the masking mandates.
And that sort of the school board was removed.
They were later placed back on, but that kind of started a whole stir.
I got more involved with the school.
I later became the chair of Moms for Liberty.
And so that was sort of my first, you know, I guess, experience with standing up to government mandates.
And it really opened my eyes to understanding.
I was following the Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did rule that that administrative order issued for the masking mandate by the Department of Health was void ad initio.
And I started to understand what these things meant, being an administrative order, government infringing upon your rights, and starting to really be able to recognize when government is overextending their reserved powers, if you will.
Okay, so after Hurricane Ida destroyed your family's private driveway, crossing over a small drainage ditch, cutting off access to your home, the Grady's say the crossing became impassable, creating an urgent safety concern.
Within a day, the family installed a 10-foot-long metal culvert and placed stone filled to restore access, an arrangement common in rural properties in this area of Pennsylvania.
But then days later, following, of course, an anonymous complaint alleging earth disturbance, representatives from the Chester County Conservation District and the State Department of Inventor Property Protection entered the property without a warrant, without advance notice, describing the visit and several that followed as raids, because that's how Shannon told me they went down, saying officials entered despite being posted no trespassing signs and explicit objections from the Grady.
An inspection report by the Department of Environmental Protection, aquatic biologist Carol Canigliania, documents a confrontation in which the property owners were present, were told that they had a legal right to enter and their refusal could result in enforcement action.
To me, that, of course, is a threat.
So it was during that initial inspection, the officials identified the pond on the property that gave them their next excuse to harass the Grady family.
Subsequent Department of Environmental Protection reports alleged multiple fabricated violations, including unpermitted earth disturbance exceeding one acre, discharge of sediment into a water of the Commonwealth, construction of an unpermitted culvert, failure to implement erosion and sediment controls, unlawful obstruction of encroachment upon wetlands.
The natural spring pond was described as impermeable and potentially polluting.
These are all, of course, outrageous fabrications.
And you and your husband dispute these findings.
Shannon, tell us about that.
Correct.
Yeah, we dispute these findings.
You know, as you mentioned, starting in 2021 was when the initial inspection took place based on an anonymous complaint, which we did file right to get such anonymous complaints.
We still haven't yet seen those.
But since 2021, there's been at least nine unreasonable searches of our property.
And the DEPs had brought in not only the state, but they at one point had the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
They were claiming that we were under federal jurisdiction, according to WOTIS.
So they were trying to say that we needed to work with the federal government as well because we're in violation of multiple environmental crimes and whatnot.
But in all of these raids, if you will, they came with armed officers numerous times.
They conspired with the police department, the PA fish and game officers who are also armed numerous times, came onto our property.
We gave them, we had posted signage and we gave them verbal notice that they were not permitted to inspect our property and search our property, but yet they continued their searches.
We basically explained to them that they have to prove harm.
Their main claim is that we are a public nuisance causing environmental harm.
And the statutes in which they cite we're violating, they have the statutory duty to prove that we've contaminated the waters of the Commonwealth or waters of the United States.
Yet in all of their visits from 2021 through 2025, they failed to do one single soil sample test or water soils test, which they're required to do by the statute.
They're required to show contamination, which they failed to do.
So you and your husband maintain that the natural spring pond that they refer to is permeable, smaller than an acre, and actually environmentally beneficial, converting what was previously a muddy runoff-prone pasture into a stabilized grassed area that serves as a water source for your livestock.
The government has never shown any evidence of pollution or downstream harm, nor have any of your neighbors filed complaints alleging damage.
Additionally, state aerial imagery shows only minor soil displacement consistent with normal rainfall.
Grady notes that no soil in this article that I read, this is, I think, you talking, Shannon, noted that no soil or water tests were ever made by state authorities to prove any of this environment damage, as you just said, demonstrating that this whole thing is, in fact, political.
You know, I really must tell you, in a way, I can totally identify with you because I myself have been politically targeted.
It was seven years ago this past Sunday that 29 heavily armed FBI agents, similar to the armed thugs that were sent to your farm property, stormed my home at 6 o'clock in the morning.
And this entire attack on you and your husband and your family, where you live on the property with your five children, as I recall, in a farmhouse that's almost 200 years old, they want to fine you and try to destroy you, not because you're doing anything wrong on your property, but because you stood up to the local school board.
Yeah, and maybe that's where it originated.
But, you know, ever since they've interacted with us, every time they come, they said, just comply.
You need to comply.
But complying, but complying with would cost your family $500,000 or more, including permit fees, hiring a certified wetland specialist, delineating wetlands, preparing restoration plans, and submitting a notice of intent for individual permits.
Are any of the other property holders around where you live experiencing these same kinds of issues?
Not that I'm aware of.
And the ironic part here is that the permits in which they wish us to obtain and comply with are regulated by the federal government.
The EPA regulates the MPDES permit, which they want us to get.
And VOTIS has been basically eliminated by the Trump administration.
They're claiming that our natural springs, which is what the pond is, the natural springs, we have seven on our property, is not a water of the United States, not regulated by the federal government, which is what they're trying to claim.
And they're also trying to claim our drainage ditch is a navigable waterway.
It has about a half an inch of water.
So, you know, they're trying to, you know, pull us into not only administrative regulatory purview, but they're trying to also force us to comply with an administrative process, which we have been saying from the beginning is unconstitutional.
We are afforded proper due process.
You cannot just show up here with an administrative order demanding us to comply with your demands, purchase all these permits, do all of these things, which would cost us $500,000, plus allow you to inspect, quote unquote, inspect our property for the next five years whenever you want, based on an administrative order issued by a manager who works at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
That's not due process.
No, in fact, and this will come as a surprise to no one when this whole matter reached the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania on May 28th of 2025.
You represented yourself pro se because, let's face it, lawyers are very expensive, focusing all of these questions that you've raised today about the state's authority to enter private property, absent any consent to begin with.
And of course, the local judge, Matthew S. Wolf, granted the state's Department of Environmental Protection to enforce this outrageous administrative order.
The court retained jurisdiction, warned that failure to comply could result in sanctions, including contempt, fines, and perhaps even jail.
These people are out of control, but I do think you have put your finger on the potential solution to your problems.
I really doubt that Lee Zeldon, who is the director under Donald Trump or the Department of Environmental Protection, is aware of the situation.
There are federal issues involved.
They're claiming you violated federal laws incorrectly.
Do you have some hope that Lee Zeldon and the administration will examine all of these issues, as they have done in other instances, defending in one case a Washington rancher who was falsely accused of environmental crimes?
Are you hopeful that Lee Zeldin will step in?
I am hopeful that Lee Zeldin will step in.
And I actually did file a federal complaint against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, along with an emergency temporary restraining order.
We are seeking proper due process.
If the DEP wants to prove their claim, their claim in their administrative order is that we are a public nuisance, which requires them to prove contamination to the waters of the Commonwealth or waters of the United States.
They need to prove their claim in court and give us proper due process, which requires a trial by jury, not a non-neutral quasi-judicial administrative hearing.
Seeking Due Process00:05:14
That's all we've been afforded.
Well, we are going to try to make sure that your case comes to the attention of the director of the Environmental Protection Agency.
There's a great story over at the Populist Sentinel.
You can check this out.
If you go to populistsentinel.com, look up Shin and Grady, a terrific story about this epic harassment of you and your family by the state officials.
And look at a lot of these federal agencies locally.
You still have Biden Democrats in control at the state level of some of these federal agencies.
So we don't know what the Director of Environmental Protection knows about your case, but we're going to bring it to his attention.
All right.
God bless you.
All right.

Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
The new details surrounding that fatal shooting of far-left Antifa activist Alex Pritty point to a disturbing pattern of coordinated anti-law enforcement activities that helped create the conditions for this tragedy in which he was shot and killed.
According to a neighbor, Pretty was among those who was an active participant in the neighborhood Ice Watch chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal.
This is the coordinated group run by Governor Tim Wals' lieutenant governor and his chief political operative.
These were used in a very systematic way to monitor and interfere with federal immigration operations.
Pretty was armed at the time of the encounter, shot while violently resisting Border Patrol agents early Saturday morning.
Evidence continues to come out showing that Pretty was not some passive bystander, but part of a well-oiled militant communist and Marxist network deliberately tracking and obstructing ICE.
These so-called ICE watch groups have gone far, far beyond peaceful protest.
My hat's off to independent journalist Cam Higby, who exposed not one but two signal chats in which agitators assign rules to identify, follow, and impede federal agents, a practice that dangerously escalates confrontations and puts both officers and civilians at risk.
Now, the Trump administration is stepping in to put an end to this absorptive nonsense.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirms his office has opened an active and aggressive investigation into the anti-AICE signal chat networks in Minnesota, including reports that some participants may actually be state or local government officials feeding information illegally to the radicals.
FBI Director Kash Patel made clear that ideology does not excuse criminal conduct, neither does partisanship.
He said, if you broke the law, you should be worried.
Enforcing the law, what a novel concept.
It should go without saying that federal authorities have a duty to protect lawful protests.
But that does not mean that we ought to tolerate coordinated efforts to undermine public safety, violate federal statutes, and endanger lives.
It's time to shut down these ICE watch networks before more lives are put in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump won a massive victory in the federal appeals court, a huge win for law and order, siding with the Trump administration and restoring the ability of ICE agents to do their jobs without politically motivated interference from left-wing lawfare groups or their activist judge allies.
I'm still outraged that the two ringleaders who led that invasion of a Christian church in Minneapolis during services, a BLM group, this is horrific.
To me, it crosses a line.
But again, a local Biden-appointed judge, while those people were charged by Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, and these are violent crimes, they were not remanded.
In other words, they were turned back out into the public where they can regain, rejoin the ICEWATCH operations and continue to plant mayhem.
To me, this is extraordinarily dangerous.
Donald Trump moved aggressively to defuse the situation.
But once again, those who say Trump threw in the towel, Trump blinked, go back and look at the list of demands that Donald Trump gave to Champon Tim and tell me who's in the driver's seat.
President has the ultimate option, which of course is to enact the Insurrection Act of 1807.
That would mean that the same military that so precision-like and so smoothly extracted Nicholas Maduro from Venezuela after first knocking out their radar and using some very high-tech weapons that the government says are classified to bring order.
Political Cost Conundrum00:01:42
That has a political cost if the president does it, as a political cost if he does not do it.
I don't think he wants to do it, but he will do it if he has to.
Until we meet again, God bless you and Godspeed.

Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
