Minnesota Senator SHOT; 2 Assassinated | What JUST Happened
FULL TRANSCRIPT
So, here's what just happened in
Minnesota. You had two lawmakers that
were shot. On screen, you've got State
Senator John Hoffman, uh, just came out
of surgery. They're deemed to be in
critical condition. Hoffman Hortman on
the right, uh, corner of that screen,
bottom right corner of that screen,
she's dead. Her and her husband died.
Hoffman survived and his wife survived.
They were both shot at their homes about
8 miles apart in the Brooklyn Park area
of Minnesota. This is Tim Walls's state.
Apparently, the individual who shot both
of them, or I should say all four of
them, was addressed in a police uniform
with a police car. The police car has
been recovered. It's unclear if that
police uniform was, you know, fake or
stolen or what. And the suspect is at
large. Now, Melissa Hortman, and this is
speculation, but Melissa Hortman 4 days
ago was one of the only members of the
uh of her caucus to vote yes on a bill
that barely passed 68-65
where the House I guess ABC can't spell
approved. So, approved the bill.
Somebody's P key is broken apparently.
After a 4-hour debate, the House
approved the bill 68 to 65. Under the
agreement, top House Democratic leader
Melissa Hortman of Brooklyn Park was the
only member of her caucus to vote yes.
What was the bill? Minnesota budget deal
cuts health care for adults who entered
the US illegally. Now, it's unclear if
these are linked, but in today's
explosive environment around
immigration,
it's possible that Melissa Hortman was
shot because she as a Democrat voted to
remove healthc care for illegals. This
is a big, you know, flash point in
immigration obviously for the nation,
uh, across the board, especially as
Donald Trump is now sending orders to
ICE agents that effective today, please
hold all work on site enforcement,
investigations, operations, and
agriculture, including aquaculture and
meat packing plants, restaurants, and
operating hotels. because ICE is
basically destroying a hotel's ability
to operate. You know, house cleaners,
housekeepers, restaurant workers,
dishwashers, uh farm workers, strawberry
pickers, blueberry pickers, cabbage
pickers, uh you know, whatever. You're
destroying the ability of some of these
companies to operate because they do
rely on undocumented labor. Now,
obviously, this is a flash point in in
the country because on one side, people
say if you're here illegally, you should
be deported. Uh, and within that
umbrella, you have people who say,
"Well, yes, you are here illegally, but
maybe we shouldn't deport you. Maybe we
should just focus on deporting the
criminals." Of course, if you only
listen to Fox News, every undocumented
individual is a violent criminal. That's
because when ICE arrests 10,000
individuals, they throw 10 pictures up
of people who do have a violent history,
like rape and murder. Obviously, nobody
disagrees. Those people should be kicked
out of the country. But there are a lot,
you know, the other 9,900 or whatever
potentially are just people who are
working trying to provide a living for
themselves and their family. Now, does
that mean they're not, you know,
violating the fact that they're here
illegally? No, of course still violating
that. But that's decades of politics
that created this terrible precedent of
come to America illegally and eventually
you'll get some kind of work
authorization, get a taxpayer
identification number, you work
undocumented, you have children, people
nickname them anchor babies so you can
try to plea your case for asylum or
whatever and eventually you hope to get
some form of citizenship. Right? That's
decades in the making. Even under Trump
won that was policy, right? That's all
recently changed because now Donald
Trump believes he has a mandate to to
really enforce immigration. The border
is very secure now, but now you've got
ICE raids happening at Home Depot, uh,
you know, obviously restaurants, farm
fields. Even here in Oxnard, 10 minutes
away, we had ICE rounding people up on
the farm fields. These aren't
necessarily all violent individuals. We
don't think that. Uh, and so this has
created an immigration flashoint where
now what you have is somebody who
dressed up as a cop, killed Melissa
Hortman and her husband and critically
injured Senator Hoffman and his wife.
And so what you've got is you've now got
a situation where this immigration flash
point has exploded to where if you vote
against uh you know or or sorry if you
vote for cutting healthcare for illegals
which I personally think if you were
here undocumented
you know you you like my opinion is that
we should find a pathway for you to be
legal but you don't get any social
services. Like if you're here illegally,
we'll vet you. We'll make sure you're
not a criminal. If you promise not to
take any social services, we'll give you
citizenship, let you contribute to the
economy, uh and and uh uh you know, you
self-sustain yourself. Like to me, I
think that's budget positive for the
government, right? But I don't know that
logic really prevails in government,
whatever. I'm not in government. I'm not
a politician. But the point is this now
shows this flash point where potentially
you know this could have been I think
the way some people are going to brand
this is because this person is you know
armed and on the loose this could be
branded on one side as here's a crazed
individual who is an undocumented
immigrant themselves now killing
representatives for stealing you know
their health care for illegals.
Alternatively, some people say this
could have been somebody who's not an
immigrant. You know, maybe some white
dude people are speculating who wants to
create this flashoint to make people
think that immigrants are so violent
that they'll go as far as killing
politicians. We don't know because the
person's on the loose. So, that's what's
going on with Minnesota. Hopefully,
that's like a good little summary on
what's going on with Minnesota. Uh,
obviously, you know, a very crappy
situation. Uh in the meantime, we've
also been covering some of the latest on
what's going on. Also, mind you, on the
Minnesota uh shooting, uh which Trump
has now been briefed on. Really
important to also mention that the
individual was dressed as a law
enforcement officer, knocked on the
doors of these homes at night, and then
when they opened, shot them and and ran.
The problem with this is it's very
important to remember you do not need to
open the door to law enforcement. You do
not need to open the door. If somebody
claims in the middle of the night that
they're an officer and you need to open
the door, call the cops yourself. Verify
it's legitimate. Call 911. Wait for
dispatchers to verify that the person at
your door demanding entry is legitimate
before doing anything.
Don't open the door to a firefighter, to
a cop, to anyone uh especially in the
middle of the night if you have any sort
of suspicion at all. Now, this person
was in apparently what looked like a cop
car dressed through the cop uniform.
Remember, even if somebody says they
have a warrant,
hey, you know, at that point, you kind
of have to balance. All right, well, if
they have a warrant to enter legally,
you're supposed to let them enter, but I
don't know. I might still be calling 911
to verify like, hey, send me an email,
text me that warrant. I want to I want
to see this this document before I open
the door to anyone. I don't like opening
the door. Uh but uh but do keep that in
mind. That's that's you know something
that where this individual clearly
stalked these lawmakers before shooting
and killing them uh while killing two
two individuals uh representative and
her husband uh and then critically
injuring a state senator in Minnesota
and uh uh and his wife. Really really
terrible. Uh but it it is also a
learning lesson for everyone broadly
like you do not have to open the door
when somebody says they're a cop. Keep
that in mind. All right. So, let's get
through some more. Why not advertise
these things that you told us here? I
feel like nobody else knows about this.
We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes. Congratulations, man.
You have done so much. People love you.
People look up to you. Kevin Pra there,
financial analyst and YouTuber. Meet
Kevin. Always great to get your take.
