Infowars Sunday Briefing: Trump Ready To Send Troops To Minnesota As Gov. Walz & Other Dems Commit To Insurrection Against Federal Government -Must WATCH/SHARE Full Show! @nicksortor https://t.co/2DSB8OeAd2
Eli Crane and guests expose the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as a $100M+ tool for global censorship, regime change, and election interference, with 81 Republicans voting to fund it despite its ties to CIA-linked Bill Casey’s 1983 push and elite donors like Soros and Koch. Investigations reveal NED orchestrating a "soft coup" against populist movements—98% of its political spending favors Democrats—while pressuring advertisers to silence conservative outlets like NY Post and Newsmax, allegedly dismantling U.S. sovereignty via technocratic control. Meanwhile, Nick Sortor calls Minneapolis the "People’s Republic," detailing mob violence (stabbed with flagpoles, 3,000-strong attacks on ICE agents) and MPD’s refusal to intervene, as Walz and Fry face DOJ obstruction probes. Federal troop deployment under the Insurrection Act may be inevitable, signaling a broader clash between populism and institutionalized resistance. [Automatically generated summary]
Obviously, we, the CIA, should not get out in front of the development of such an organization, nor do we wish to appear to be a sponsor or advocate.
Nevertheless, the need appears real, and I believe our national fabric for dealing with many issues and problems will be well served by the creation of NED.
Led in part by figures like Stephen Heinz, president of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Heinz spilled the beans, laying out their blueprint to reinvent American governance from the ground up through the new pluralists.
We went on a listening tour, and we listened to Americans in 50 communities across this country in very diverse settings and with very divergent points of view.
And we came away from that convinced that our democracy needs not only to be reformed, but really in a way reinvented, reimagined for the kinds of challenges we face in the 21st century.
We have proof that Ned actually was a part of deplatforming President Trump, which I don't think the president would take kindly to Republicans supporting this efforts.
Let me tell you where your tax dollars are really going.
Where they have been going is to pressure advertisers to demonetize and suppress American political speech by naming the 10 riskiest sites to include the New York Post, the Federalists, Newsmax, The Blaze, The Daily Wire, Real Clear Politics, Reason, One American News Network, The American Spectator, and the American Conservative.
Mr. Speaker, 98% of the political donations coming from the National Endowment for Democracy go to the Democrat Party.
This is your taxpayer dollars paying for socialists and communists to subvert the American system.
The real problem here is when Trump won in 2016, this same foreign policy establishment that was set up in large part to wage the Cold War found a new global menace, which was the global rise of populist parties.
This engineered uniparty convergence shreds the old left-right lines to serve supranational overlords, targeting outfits like Turning Point USA as threats, cozying up across the aisle for technocratic priorities like social justice mandates and centralized information warfare, and quietly capturing institutions in a slow-motion,
subversive overthrow where Congress is wielded like a disposable tool.
Time is slowly running out to wake up before their $33 billion a year, 215,000 employee machine dismantles the last shreds of American sovereignty in favor of a managed post-populist dystopia, commonly known as the New World Order.
Unfortunately, still live from the People's Republic of Minnesota.
I think at some point here within the next few days, I will technically legally be considered a resident of Minnesota.
And I am not proud to say that in the least.
You know, last time, last week when I was on the show, I was saying, hopefully, I'd be live from back home in DC again, but that's definitely not the case because what's happening out here is the situation is continuing to devolve.
It's not getting better.
It's not calming down.
And even though it is now in, I believe it is a grand total of here, I'll tell you for sure here in a second.
And of course, it's not going to tell me right off the bat here.
Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
There we go.
Yeah, it is five degrees out here currently right now in the People's Republic of Minnesota.
And President Trump obviously has been threatening to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act if Governor Tim Waltz didn't do anything and just continued to let federal agents be assaulted and their operations be impeded.
And quite frankly, just the total chaos, putting an end to the chaos that's going on outside the federal facility here in Minneapolis.
And let me give you guys a little bit of an update on that.
So last night out there, because you had situations like this happening, actually, I'll show you this first.
When, because these protesters were getting so, I say protesters, let's put that in air quotes, folks.
Getting so brazen to the point where they're literally driving their trucks and parking them in front of the federal facility, which is pretty wild and blocking people from coming in and out.
Trying to find, I just had the clip number.
Now I lost it again.
Oh, yeah, number 19, guys.
Roll that clip.
They decided that the DHS agents got fed up with these little antics and decided to do a little commandeering, which is oddly satisfying.
Obviously, this made the anti-ICE rioters pretty upset.
This guy was also arrested as well.
He was arrested.
He's now in federal custody for obstructing federal operations.
But, you know, this is fun to watch.
And it's like, oh, yeah, that's awesome.
They commandeered a pickup truck.
That's kind of cool.
But I want to go to what's actually been going on out here.
The worst part about it was yesterday.
It got particularly bad when you had these terrorists beating an anti or a pro-ICE supporter out on the streets of downtown Minneapolis, beating.
They took a flagpole that had been sharpened at the end.
That's what they do.
They did a similar thing to Katie Davis Corp.
So here's a video right here.
And you'll see that this guy just instantly starts bleeding profusely because he essentially got stabbed with a rod that they had sharpened at the end to honestly try and either brutally harm this guy or kill him.
And they don't have any fear out here about killing people or brutally assaulting people like me or Cam Higby, who we're going to have on the show here in just a little bit.
Or this guy, who, I mean, you can see in the video, I mean, the blood pouring out of his head.
Nobody is coming to support him in terms of like Minneapolis PD.
They just didn't bother showing up, as is usual out here at this point.
And as I said, it's just the situation is continuing to devolve.
I mean, what more has to happen?
Does somebody literally have to die before the Insurrection Act is invoked?
I know we have 1,500 troops on standby, and we'll get to that here in just a little bit.
But what else do we have to see?
What else needs to be done?
They've broken into the federal courthouse.
They've constantly been obstructing ICE operations out here.
ICE has to dedicate, ICE and Border Patrol have to dedicate a huge amount of resources to just protecting their own facility and protecting their own people that they have, that it obviously it's going to hamper deportation activity.
There aren't enough agents to continue on with this.
And that's why you got to have troops involved.
And I mean, I know that Tim Waltz has deployed the National Guard out here.
You've seen a few of them, a few National Guard Humvees sitting on the ramp to an interstate.
Number 12, clip number 12, guys.
And they also, I don't think we have a clip queued for this one, but they put these guys, actually, yes, okay, you can see them in the background there.
The National Guardsmen that are walking up, they put them in high visibility jackets, right?
Because Tim Waltz wants to make sure that you only assault federal agents instead of assaulting his National Guard troops.
You have permission from Tim Waltz to assault federal agents, but don't do it to the guys in the high visibility jacket.
He specifically said that they were putting National Guard troops out here in these high-vis jackets so that you could differentiate them from federal agents.
So I don't know, even with all of that, this video was taken before what went on downtown yesterday, where Jake Lang, whatever you think about him, doesn't even matter.
I mean, he has the right to exercise his First Amendment without being murdered in the street.
National Guard didn't respond to that.
They didn't help.
They were nowhere to be found.
unidentified
I don't even know what they're doing here at this point.
I mean, the only reason that I can see them out here is just so that it makes it more difficult for President Trump to nationalize or federalize the National Guard out here in Minnesota because Tim Waltz is going to go to whatever activist judge he can find and say, oh my goodness, you know, no, we don't need Trump to nationalize or federalize the National Guard.
We've got it under control out here.
We have the National Guard.
I've got control over the National Guard.
And then he'll end up getting an immediate injunction to stop President Trump from being able to do so.
So we won't say it's all a show with the National Guard out here.
Nobody in their right mind believes that Tim Waltz is an effective commander-in-chief.
No faith in that system at all.
And even today, we haven't seen any of them out here.
I don't know if we have enough time for this couple.
Actually, you know.
You know, roll clip number four, guys.
Stephen Miller has come out.
Obviously, he's pretty close to the president, accusing Tim Waltz and Mayor Fry of insurrection.
And I'd say that's a pretty accurate term to use for this one.
Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions that shield and shelter criminal illegal aliens from deportation.
So, for example, in Minneapolis and Minnesota, when an illegal alien commits a crime and is deportable and can and should be removed from the country, the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota prevent ICE from arresting and deporting the offender, even when they are charged or convicted of heinous crimes, including crimes against women, crimes against children, crimes of violence.
And instead, they release them back onto the street where they can continue to reoffend.
So, ICE, over and over and over again, goes out into the community to find and arrest these fugitives who have since committed additional egregious crimes after they were released by Fry and Waltz and Ellison.
These are acts of insurrection against the laws of the United States and against the sovereignty of the United States.
Four illegal aliens who broke into this country, who then raped children, who committed human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, protected, shielded, sheltered, coddled, defended at every level by the leadership in Minnesota.
Yeah, and those weren't even the only examples of near-murders that happened yesterday.
So Lang held his event.
It's been planned for a long time.
He's been planning this event here long before Renee Nicole Good was ever killed.
And so Lang showed up, and there's already this crowd there.
They surround him.
It's like 3,000 people.
And they're throwing water balloons at him, shooting him with paintballs, super soakers.
They're throwing flagpoles at him, rocks, bricks of ice, stuff like that.
You know, even before they got him in the back of the head, his face was just covered in bumps, gashes, cut, scrapes, stuff like that.
And whether you agree with Lang and his tactics, which I tend not to, he wasn't violent.
He was peacefully sharing his opinions, which are, of course, a lot of people don't like, but he has a right to do that without being killed.
Eventually, he was ripped off that window recess that he was standing on at City Hall, by the way, which if there was one place that MPD would be, I would expect it to be at City Hall, but they were, of course, nowhere to be seen.
And when I say nowhere to be seen, I mean I did not see a single MPD officer anywhere.
And I drove around the city during this event after Lang was chased off.
So Lang was chased off, brutally mobbed, attacked in the head.
I believe he had to get five staples for that gash in the back of his head.
I think you could see a skull.
And after that, he ended up fleeing in a vehicle.
The protests broke into pockets around the downtown area where several other people were attacked and almost killed.
The one you mentioned with the flagpole.
But then there was another group of tech workers that were sitting down in a diner deli kind of deal, just eating their lunch with their co-workers.
And this mob got it in their head that these looked like undercover or off-duty feds.
And they dragged them out of there and beat the crap out of them.
You know, within an inch of their life, the guy stood up and started stumbling over.
It seemed like he had probably a head injury.
And turned out that guy was actually one of them.
He was in the rapid response anti-Isignal group chat.
And you can hear them shouting that a small faction of the mob shouting, he's one of us, he's one of us.
This guy's already been brutally attacked.
Now, what's interesting is the sheriffs intervened.
You never see sheriffs in the city enforcing the law, but because MPD wouldn't, the sheriffs took it upon themselves to come downtown and rescue people.
What is the walking down the street with their thumbs in their butts, wondering where everybody is?
They all left.
Like, this is after all the violence happened.
Nothing going on here.
And this is really the theme.
Jacob Fry should be in jail.
This is the theme: is again and again and again, something terrible happens in Minneapolis.
But if MPD had been present doing their jobs, it wouldn't have happened.
Renee Nicole Good would be alive today if MPD did their jobs.
If MPD was ensuring that citizens were not illegally intervening with federal investigations and federal law enforcement actions, she would not have been able to get that close to an ICE agent and she would be alive today.
But they don't do their jobs repeatedly and incessantly.
And yeah, we'll roll this clip with sound after the break.
So stick with us.
We'll be right back with Cam Higby.
Appreciate you being here.
And yeah, we'll keep on showing you the chaos that's going on out here in Minneapolis right.
All right, Dan, guys, welcome back to the InfoWars Sunday briefing.
We're back again with Cam Kinkby.
Appreciate you taking the time out of your day when you really could be out there standing in the.
I think, I think we're up to are we up to five degrees now?
Five degrees.
So thank you for making the sacrifice of staying in the warm with us today.
So, as you very well know, I don't have to explain this to you, and I probably don't have to explain it to a lot of the audience, but earlier this week, I believe it was Monday, we were just out just documenting what was going on out on the streets in front of the federal facility.
I wasn't talking to anybody at all.
I was just there, just existing, as were you.
I think you were live streaming at the time.
And if you haven't seen Cam's live streams, you definitely need to go check them out because they're very good.
I don't know how they don't just follow you and beat you to death every time.
All they have to do is look at your live stream.
But I want to play this video through of us earlier this week.
We were in our car because it's cold out and we're monitoring from our vehicle.
Well, they find out that we're sitting there in the car and they decide that they're going to surround us because this leftist asswhite named, what's it Anthony?
Is it Anthony or Andrew?
Something Ricardo.
Who really knows?
Kind of an irrelevant guy.
It says that, oh, well, that, you know, Nick Sortor, he just hit a woman and was trying to like incite a riot against us.
And I want to show everybody how this went down.
We had called the police.
We had told them very straight up after the car was surrounded that if you guys do not respond, we're going to have to just go.
If they try to disable the vehicle or they break the windows, we're going to have to go.
So I want to roll this clip in its entirety with sound if we can, because it shows you how the situation progresses.
You can hear the windows start to break and what makes me have to go.
They tried to have me arrested for this right here.
Take a look, guys.
Get out of the way.
unidentified
So that was a hell of a moment that I'll definitely ever forget.
I would say Cam probably won't forget it either, but I mean, man, you can see in the video and you had your own angle as well, where we were both recording the whole thing because we knew what they were going to try to do is they were going to call the police and say that, you know, we were just running down protesters all willy-nilly, you know, innocent, peaceful protesters, which wasn't the case at all.
And now they accuse us of, they say we broke the windows when we got to Egan Police Department, which is obviously not true.
You can hear the windows break in the video.
And then what's even more interesting is your video, it's kind of hard to see in your video because you were driving, but we're going like 60 miles per hour and another car darts out right in front of us.
If Nick wasn't such a good emergency driver, we would have T-boned that car and we might have died.
They probably would have died, but Nick jumped up on the snowbank and evaded that car.
That was the third car that tried to block us.
And you can see it just coming up right here in the video.
This one right here jumps right out in front of us and there it is in front of us.
Yeah, but we also had to, and the reason that I got so good at driving evasively in this Jeep is because this was the third time that I had to do this to run away from people that were following me.
So, I mean, I had gotten used to evasive maneuvers in it and knew what it was capable of.
But, you know, we ran to a police department that wasn't in Minneapolis and it wasn't even in Hennepin County because we just could not rely on them to come and help us.
We had to leave the county to go find somebody that would protect us from people that were either chasing us or these.
And they will chase you.
Like I said, they've done it two other times to me.
And you don't know what they're going to do because even if they start chasing and I call the police in Minneapolis, they're just not going to respond regardless.
It's like, yeah, okay, call me after you've been, you know, sliced open or shot.
If you remember when we got to Egan Police Department just south, they phoned over to MPD, Minneapolis Police Department, and asked them if they'd like to take a statement from us about the damage to the vehicle and the assaults that occurred and the whole thing.
And that's exactly what they did in that clip you showed of MPD showing up after the riot.
They say they only respond to active threats, but they will stall, install, install, install, install until the threat is over so that they don't have to respond, right?
They'll pretend they're coming.
Like I got stocked downtown Minneapolis and they were inciting a mob against me and physically assaulting me.
And I called MPD before I was even being assaulted and said this guy stalking me, trying to incite a mob against me.
They're like, meet us over here.
I had to like evade the mob.
So I had to go a significant distance away.
And by the time I got there, I'm approaching this intersection.
They told me to meet them at.
And I called them again.
And I'm like, hey, I'm approaching the intersection with a mob and there is no police officers here.
I guess I'll see you in a bit because neither of us are going anywhere anytime soon.
So we'll be right back.
Info War Sunday briefing.
All right, guys, because Tim Waltz and Mayor Fry is out here, who's basically an honorary Somalian.
Pretty pretty pathetic mayor out.
I mean, Mayor Soyboy would be a much more accurate thing to call this guy.
I mean, absolute cuck.
It's gotten to the point, and I had been told this earlier this week.
You know, after my car was attacked and, you know, thousands and thousands of dollars worth of damage was done to it.
It was a rental car.
And I brought it back to the rental car company that I got it from.
And the guy had told me there that I wasn't the first one of the day to come by with a rental car that was destroyed.
Not even the first civilian that had come by that day, multiple other people before me, private citizens had come and had to return the vehicle because they were attacked by these nimrods and degenerate rioters in the streets because they thought they were ICE or something.
And people said, ah, no way, that didn't happen.
Come on, man.
Don't lie to us like that.
There's plenty of proof that that's happening out here.
And now we have Commander Bovino, actually, is confirming the same thing.
Him and I had not talked about that.
That's not like, I didn't even tell him that.
And it's clip number 13.
All these people, private vehicles of private citizens being destroyed, essentially, by anti-ICE rioters out here.
These anarchists, these rioters, these bad people that wish to harm law enforcement are now harming American citizens.
Those vehicles you mentioned that were vandalized, they've also, we've received reports, vandalized indiscriminately many vehicles in those hotel parking lots.
They don't care if it's government vehicles and then they happen to get several vehicles of American citizens, innocent civilians, they don't care.
And we're seeing that now we're hearing reports from the police that that's happening, throwing nails out in parking lots where our government vehicles are not even located.
They don't care.
So these anarchists truly do not, they truly do not go towards federal law enforcement only.
If you get wrapped up in this and you're a mom and pa America and you get wrapped up and they even think you're law enforcement, then you're getting it also.
And that's a big problem.
I think that should probably wake some people up as to the depth and the scope of these anarchists.
Yeah, and of course, it's just not going to wake anybody up.
I mean, the anarchists don't care.
The anarchists don't care.
They don't care if they're affecting you.
I mean, if you, in reality, if you drive it, typically government vehicles tend to be pretty nice vehicles, suburbans, wagoneers, things of that nature.
And so, if they happen to destroy a wagoneer or a suburban or a Tahoe of some innocent civilian out there, well, they must be rich anyway.
So, they deserve their vehicle to be torched, the tires slashed, all the windows broken, and all the equipment looted from the inside.
And Tim Waltz and Mayor Fry could be doing things about this.
They could be doing stopping the impeding of ICE that's going on out there.
But unfortunately, they are complicit in it.
I want to play the most recent clip.
This just came out.
This was from this morning, actually, this afternoon, right before the show started.
And this is of a DHS agent who just went off on anarchists.
That's what's what we're gonna do.
I'm not gonna use the word protester with them.
unidentified
I just can't because that's not what they're doing.
And I mean, how this could all be very easily ended, okay?
Because when I was in New Orleans, even me, like I was, I had approval to be trailing ICE vehicles and such.
Like they knew I had warned, I warned them in advance that I was going to be doing it.
You know, the border patrol vehicles and such that were down there during the operation in that area.
And the reason I wasn't able to do that effectively is because they, the police, especially the state police, were enforcing traffic laws down there.
So these people up here, they have been given basically a pass to run red lights to speed to pass school buses around blind corners in the snow to keep up with ICE and Border Patrol agents who have lights and sirens and are allowed to break traffic laws.
And they've been trained on how to drive in that fashion.
These people have no such training.
They don't really have any, they don't have any training in life either, these radical left anarchists that are out here on the streets.
And but Minneapolis police, the state police have been told to not bother them.
No matter, it doesn't matter.
Are they running red lights in the middle of neighborhoods with single-family homes at 80 miles an hour?
Ah, fine.
It's okay.
They're just protesting.
That's what Tim Waltz and Mayor Fry say.
But luckily, things are about to change for them.
They might be very soon facing an indictment because they're now under federal investigation by the DOJ for conspiracy to obstruct ICE.
Breaking tonight, Fox News confirms the Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry for allegedly impeding law enforcement efforts on the ground.
Again, confirming that DOJ investigation.
Progressive Democrats, meantime, were in Minneapolis today, rallying around protesters, claiming the Trump administration is to blame for the chaos.
The remarks from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal come after another night of disorder in Minneapolis.
And I mean, it's very obvious that I don't have this pulled up.
I can't really do a full screen on this one, but there was an email sent to all Minneapolis employees on Friday.
This is verified here by Alpha News in the area, the only real news outlet here in Minneapolis telling city workers in Minneapolis that, quote, the city is working with protesters within the city to help them track ICE operations.
This seems like they are complicit in helping impede ICE agents.
Would they like it if we impeded and told people where Minneapolis police officers were trying to do their work?
This seems like it is an insurrection.
That's what a tipster said that put this email out there that screenshotted it.
A city employee screenshotted this email talking about where the city admits to tracking reports of ICE activity and working with community groups to share accurate information and resources.
There's an actual email over it from the city to city employees going over that.
I'll share that on my X account just so you people can actually read it because we don't have the full screen graphic up because I just am doing this off the cuff and didn't send it over to the great team over at InfoWars prior to going live here.
They've admitted to it.
I mean, they're guilty as hell.
They are guilty as hell of impeding ICE conspiring to impede ICE operations.
And a grand jury has already sent then subpoenas for information.
So this is moving very quickly.
This isn't just like a criminal referral or an investigation on its own.
A grand jury has already sent subpoenas.
So we're going to be seeing something very soon on this.
They're going to have to turn over these records.
And it's very likely that in the state of Minnesota, now, Minnesota, the federal district of Minnesota, is the entire state of Minnesota.
That is the federal district out here.
So if Tim Waltz and Mayor Fry were to be charged with a federal crime, they would be tried by a jury of what is otherwise a very pretty bright red state.
So there's actually a very good chance of seeing an indictment here over the next week or so.
So don't sleep on this one, guys.
I'm telling you, you're going to be pleasantly surprised that grand jury has already voted to send subpoenas.
I reckon a lot of you know I've been on the air for a long time, and we've done quite a few things here.
And I've had a lot of different ways that I tried to continue on our mission.
So I want to tell you about the begging right here.
This is a limited edition knife.
We just came out with it a couple days ago and well, some people call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade, But you need something to take care of yourself or your family and protect you, I think this will do it.
It's an important remake updated World War II trench knife.
Double-edged, stainless steel, razor sharp.
Life is fiery with its beauty.
It's got a nice little pent-up curl there right there on it.
So I reckon this is just about as good as you're going to get is some fried potatoes and biscuits and mustard.
So if you want to get one of these before they sell out with the murdered out brass knuckles skull crusher, then I reckon you better get on over to the alexjonstore.com.
All the getting's good.
And I appreciate you keeping us on the air and our mission.
I call it a Kaiser blade.
And it's a limited edition right now.
Limited edition almost sold out.
But all I know is the Globalists shouldn't have done what they did to that boy.
What Epstein did.
So all I can say is they're going to have the Lord to deal with.
