The US is considering selling barracudas and tomahawk missiles to Ukraine to target Russian sites, and President Trump has given Ukraine permission to use US weapons on Russian territory. Meanwhile, the US is also looking to build a physical wall along the border with Russia, similar to the one on the southern border, to stop the Red Army. Additionally, Russia is pulling people from prisons and other sources to send to the front lines in Ukraine, and the US is considering taking action against Hamas in Gaza.

You do.

So ask yourself, can you or can't you? Can you load up a Ford F-150 and build your dream with sweat and steel? Can you chase thrills and conquer curves in a Mustang? Can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins? whether you think you can or think you can't.

You're right. Ready? Set. Ford. And then you have the Supreme Court after two decisions on the local level, the state level in California, around racial profiling of Latinos, which we refer to here as the hunting of Latinos, that has created a blanket of fear around this city and has had detrimental impacts to our economy.

We had two court decisions, and then the Supreme Court basically gave a green light to racial profiling. They are trying to dial us back to the 1940s, and that is a tragedy for the American people. What an embarrassment that she's a mayor of a major city, and that is Los Angeles. That is Karen Bass. Dialing them back, illegal immigrants, whether Hispanic or German or Chinese, they got to go.

Self-deported, they already did over 1 million. You let everybody in, you loved it. Hiring people that were illegal, doing the best you can to make it a sanctuary city, accommodating for all, while you bankrupted your city at the same time and embarrassed them by still refusing to rebuild in areas in green light permits in the areas that were burned to crisp, while you forgot to put water in the region to put it out. Mark Thiessen joins us now, the Washington Post columnist. Mark, your thoughts about whether President Trump is hunting Hispanics.

It's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. What he what he's hunting is illegal immigrants with criminal records. And nine out of ten Americans support that.

So these case this is another example of the Democrats being on the wrong side of ninety ten, eighty twenty issues, and they can go down the list of them. But I'll tell you what the Trump administration has done and specifically in Los Angeles. Which is really innovative. They've got a legal strategy to bust up these sanctuary cities. because what happens is the reason why sanctuary cities exist.

Is because when ICE sends what's called an ICE detainer to the local jurisdictions, they are Allowed, in some cases, required by law not to cooperate with the ICE detainer because the ICE detainer is just a request. From federal immigration authorities to hand over somebody who's in custody. What the US attorney he appointed in Los Angeles is doing. Is now any time that the uh Los Angeles or any of the local areas there arr uh detain a someone who's an illegal migrant, they check to see if they have been deported before. And if they've been deported before, they file a case with a federal judge to charge them with illegal reentry into the country, which is a felony offense.

A federal felony, and then they go and present the felony warrant to the local officials, and they have no choice but to cooperate with that because it's not optional. If they don't cooperate with a federal felony, Felony arrest warrant, then they can get charged with obstruction of justice and they can go to jail.

So they're doing this in Los Angeles and expect that to be rolled out in other sanctuary cities across the country. All right. We'll see what happens with this. But the outrageous behavior by Antifa or their affiliates over in Portland against ICE, and you hear the helplessness in their voices. Bill Melusian talks to ICE officials as they have to deal with all types of unrest, and they see the cops across the street, the handful, and they do not do anything about it.

You see a big guillotine in the street, horrible things thrown at them, and because they don't want their city brought under control, the mayor and the governor. I mean. It is almost surreal.

Well so So what is Antifa? And Tifa are You know, we talk about neo-Nazis, right? Like, if these were neo-Nazis doing this stuff, no one would be complaining about. about uh arresting them, about cracking down on them, about stopping them. These are neo-Marxists.

These are communists. Who wants to disrupt and destroy the federal government, bring our system down? They're anarchists. Yes. And they're causing this violence.

all over the country. Um and you know they they are they are domestic terrorists. And in the first Trump presidency, the Justice Department did designate them as domestic terrorists, and they put some of their leaders on the terrorist watch list. And I think they need to do that even more extensively. This is a domestic terrorist organization.

It's no different than if neo-Nazis were doing this all over the country. And if they were, then the left would be outraged and VAD demanded. Do you want no one oh double? Trump wasn't doing something to crack down on neo-Nazis. I just love the arrest of this one.

Look like a 19-year-old went after an ICE official.

So they arrested him, and you see him just falling apart, this fat piece of crap, just shaking because he's terrified that he's getting arrested and he's being held in a police station. These aren't hardened criminals. These aren't the street gangs with kids with no option and no parents. These are overentitled kids getting money. This is what they do for a living.

They just try to resent the fact that they're born in America. Listen to Tom Holman, Cut 19. Local government does not support ICE. You know, every attack on ICE building and ICE personnel, Portland Police Department don't respond. Even though these officers and agents and employees are taxpayers, of the city of Portland.

The Portland PD has a responsibility to protect them too. I was up there a few weeks ago. The employees, you know, they're they're it's a dangerous job. It and it's making more dangerous comes from the threats and the attacks in that building.

So, and it's frustrating to watch, but we're covering it. Not many people else. It's hard to be on the other side of that, but it seems like many people are.

So, first off, on Ukraine, Ukraine has a couple of things happening. Number one, they have underground pipelines that could provide oil and gas to all our allies. They have offered to buy the oil from us or allow us, let them spider web it out to all our allies in the region and forego Russian oil and gas. I imagine we're going to take them up on it. I would hope so.

I mean, first of all, the idea that any of our European allies are buying Russian oil or gas right now. when they're demanding that Donald Trump crack down on Russian oil and gas sales and sanctions. is just amazing to me that they that that that that even was happening. until this point. The problem is, of course, that two the two most worst violators are Viktor Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey in terms of buying Russian hydrocarbons.

Uh Orban is He has completely lashed himself up to to Vladimir Putin's Xi Jinping economic life. And you know, Putin is bad enough, but he's turned his entire economy over to Xi Jinping. It's the only country in Europe that's taking Belt and Road money. They are completely their entire. A uh communications network is one way.

So I mean I that should even be a security risk. uh for uh for NATO. uh if they're in the NATO alliance.

So I I think that's a good thing. I think Donald Trump's going to need this. squeeze his buddy. Orbod and tell him you gotta cut this out. Number two, the thought about selling them barracudas and tomahawk missiles.

That's what Ukraine wants, that would hit 500 miles into Russia. Period in the Wall Street Journal today said we're providing intelligence on the energy sector and targets inside Russia. Do you think we'll do this and also lift the veil that allows them to hit with our weapons inside Russia? Do you think we'll change? We'll change stances on this.

General Keene thinks we have. Yes, we have. That's my understanding of it. And so there's two things. what happened was Joe Biden for the entire presidency Prevented the U.S.

from the Ukrainians from doing that, from targeting inside Russia. Even though they were being targeted from inside Russia, they were not allowed to respond to take out the sites from which Russia was attacking Ukraine. At the very end of his presidency, he lifted that restriction and that was put back in temporarily in the first few months of the Trump administration.

Now, at this point, he's taking the gloves off and allowing them to do that. But it requires one permission to use the U.S. weapons and two, provide the targeting. Intelligence sharing on where this stuff is. And so it seems like that's moving forward, which is great for the uh for uh for the cause of push Forcing Putin back to the table, but he's not going to do it voluntarily.

But you know what I just love, Mark, is the President came out and put out that true social post essentially, I tried everything, Ukraine's got my full backing, let's do this. Has anything changed since that?

Well the the weapons are flowing On the uh the uh the permission to use the weapons on Russian territory exists. Uh though I mean obviously these have to be case-by-case basis. But yeah. It's starting to move. And look, I think Trump has not given up on the idea of.

Having some sort of a peace agreement. I think Vladimir Putin has slap Donald Trump in the face. I mean, if you look back at that Alaska summit, He Putin shows up. He uh accepts the pretty And pockets the prestige of standing there in a summit with the American president. And then he accepts a letter from Donald Trump, personally handed to him from his wife, Melania, saying, let's have peace to save the children.

And the first thing he does is he attacks a kindergarten, strikes a kindergarten, which was a response to that letter. And then he escalates a jack. and then starts sending drones and planes into NATO territory. I don't know if you could have a clearer signal from Vladimir Putin in response to that. He not only did he not do what he was supposed to do, which was to meet with Zelensky and then have a tripartite meeting, which is what what was the deal that they were going to go forward with, but he's actually gone the opposite direction and is attacking even more.

So, uh I think it's pretty clear that where Putin stands. does not want peace. It looks like they're looking to put a drone wall in front of all NATO allies, and it's going to be cyber, it's going to be technical, it's not going to be physical. And everyone thinks this is a great idea to go from Finland all the way to Bulgaria. The question is the speed in which they can do it.

And they're going to use Ukrainian technology, know how and resources because of what they've been able to innovate. Do you sense there's an urgency in NATO, a American like pace to this? I think that there is an urgency in NATO. The problem is that they don't have all the technology that we do.

So, this is going to have to have an urgency for NATO to. Provide the funds, but it's going to have to be US technology in a lot of these cases. But I will tell you: you know, there should also be a physical wall. Uh the the Poles are building a uh a four hundred uh mile wall between them and Russia and them and Belarus. That is, it's called the Eastern Frontier.

And it is a literally a physical wall like the one Donald Trump is building on the southern border, but it's got, in addition to the wall and the razor wire, it's got tank trains. It's got minefields. It's got moats, it's got anti-terrorists for it's a wall designed not to stop illegal immigrants, but to stop. The Red Army. And I think Connel Trump should build that thing between Russia and Ukraine when the war ends.

So we should deploy it everywhere that we have a frontier with Russia.

So I also understand that, listen, that would be great. And I think they're going to put the money aside to do it. We just got to expand our industrial base quick enough to be able to provide the weapons necessary to allow us to make money off selling these weapons to our allies.

So I've got to bring the last thing up: we know there's been a draft again from Russia. They're going to put another 125 to 145,000 men in uniform. Where are they pulling these people from? Uh prisons uh here. I mean, they're pulling people from anywhere.

This is what what's happening in Russia right now, Brian. They're running low on artillery and armor, right? If they continued the fighting at the case that they were six months ago, they would run out of armor by next year.

So what they're doing instead is they're doing they're doing what they call meat assaults. where they literally send wave human waves of soldiers at the Ukrainians. And wait and let them get shot down, then send another wave, let them get shot down. And then when the Ukrainians run out of ammunition, they pull back. That's how they're advancing, and they're doing it inch by inch.

This is a deliberate strategy by the Russians to throw people into a meat grinder. I don't know how you continue that, how that's sustainable over the course of a period of years.

So we understand the President just posted that he's giving. Hamas until six o'clock on Sunday to accept the deal or face total annihilation. And for those people and for those people who don't think it's possible to annihilate Hamas, General Jack Keene reminded us, cut forty. It's fiction. When people say, well, this is an ideology and you can't defeat it.

That's nonsense. We defeated the al-Qaeda summarily in Iraq. These are guys with guns, and if you want to defeat them, you do what? And you take their guns away and you kill them. Right, we did in ISIS, and I do believe the curriculum is changing in Saudi Arabia, so we're getting a generation growing up, maybe not hating the West.

Go ahead.

So uh first of all Jacquesen is always right. And he's right in this case. You absolutely can destroy Hamas. Second of all, what Donald Trump has done is he has laid out not just a plan to end the fighting, but a plan to rebuild Gaza. And to create prosperity for the Palestinian people, for the people of Gaza who live there, a change.

for them to leave while the temporarily if they want, right to return if they if they want. economic growth, investment, and all the rest of it. Yeah. Hamas is either going to accept that or reject that. rejects that.

I don't want to hear the word genocide from anybody's lips ever again because Israel is signed off on it. Every single Arab Arab ally of the United States is signed off on it. Every the entire world is united behind this plan except for Hamas. Mark Thiessen, thanks so much. Hey, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.
