00:00How are you? Good, good to see you all. What we have seen transpire in Los
00:06Angeles, California in recent days is shameful. Left-wing radicals waving
00:11foreign flags viciously attacked ICE and Border Patrol agents as well as Los
00:16Angeles police officers. These criminals injured police, threw rocks at police
00:21cars and officers, burned vehicles, shut down freeways, and lobbed Molotov
00:25cocktails. All because the Trump administration was removing violent
00:29criminal illegal aliens from the city. These attacks were aimed not just at law
00:34enforcement but at American culture and society itself. Rioters burned American
00:41flags, chanted death to ice, and spray-painted anti-American slogans on
00:46buildings. But President Trump will never allow mob rule to prevail in America. The
00:53most basic duty of government is to preserve law and order and this
00:56administration embraces that sacred responsibility. Democrats like Governor
01:01Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass shamefully failed to meet their sworn
01:06obligations to their citizens. They didn't have the courage to do the right
01:09thing and protect law-abiding Californians from rioters. That's why President Trump
01:14deployed the National Guard and mobilized Marines to end the chaos and restore law
01:19and order. The mob violence is being stomped out. The criminals responsible will
01:24be swiftly brought to justice and the Trump administration's operations to arrest
01:28illegal aliens are continuing unabated. When the initial immigration
01:33enforcement actions took place on June 6th, Mayor Bass took to social media to
01:38say she was deeply angered by what has taken place. Mayor Bass then embarked on one of
01:44the most outrageous campaign of lies this country has ever seen from an elected
01:48official blaming President Trump and brave law enforcement officers for the
01:52violence. She accused heroic American immigration and customs enforcement
01:57officers targeting illegal alien murderers, rapists, and pedophiles of quote
02:02sowing terror in communities and disrupting basic principles of safety in our city.
02:08Around the same time, Governor Newsom claimed that immigration enforcement actions
02:12were causing chaos. That's how radical Democrats have become. Their opposition
02:18to President Trump has forced them to side with illegal alien criminals in their
02:22communities and violent rioters and looters over law enforcement officers who
02:27are just doing their jobs. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom fanned the flames and
02:32demonized our brave ICE officers. Instead of defending their city and their state,
02:37Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom claimed that in order for the riots and the violence to
02:41stop, ICE needed to leave and immigration raids must end. In other words, the
02:46position of the Democrat Party is that the federal government is not allowed to
02:50enforce our laws and to arrest and deport illegal alien criminals. They're
02:55attempting to use a violent mob as a weapon against their own constituents to
02:59prevent the enforcement of immigration law. This is deeply un-American and
03:03morally reprehensible. President Trump received a clear mandate from voters to
03:07reverse the illegal invasion ushered in by Joe Biden's open border and to end the
03:12lawlessness represented by Karen Bass in Gavin Newsom's California. President
03:17Trump promised to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in American
03:21history and left-wing riots will not deter him in that effort. Sanctuary cities and
03:27states will no longer be allowed to shield illegal criminals from deportation.
