Democrats in Congress, fully on the side of criminals and radicals, are considering locking down the government over the shooting of Alex Pretti today. Mr. Pretti approached the DHS agents with his gun drawn. He then resisted arrest and tried to get to his gun when he was shot and killed.

'Protesters have blocked and barricaded multiple streets'

Talk about a "shocking" experience

If Joe Scarborough had been around at the beginning of the 20th century, you might have found him on a street corner, haranguing anyone who would listen about the evils of the advent of the automobile. Flip to today, and there was Scarborough on Morning Joe, fulminating about artificial intelligence. AI is stealing jobs from younger Americans, says Joe. And that's because: "People in Washington will not stand up to tech monopolists. They will not stand up to the billionaires that run this economy. They will not stand up to the very people who are going to get richer and richer on AI and leave you and your friends and your generation further and further behind. It's that simple." Yes, so simple! Per Scarborough, the solution is so easy and obvious: "Break up tech monopolies."  Right on! Just like back in 1969, when the feds decided that IBM's supposed computer monopoly was the big threat, and brought an anti-trust lawsuit to break it up. Thirteen years, and tens of millions of dollars wasted by the feds and IBM later, the government withdrew the case, admitting it was "without merit." In the interim, many new companies had sprung up, producing faster, better, cheaper computers that peeled off big chunks of IBM's market share. Any possible monopoly had been undone not by government intervention, but by the power of free markets. And, seriously, Joe? AI monopolies are the problem? Have you not noticed the cutthroat competition among the many AI companies, and the producers of the chips that they depend on? If ever there were an industry that is not monopolized, it's AI! And yet, echoing Scarborough's call for the government to wield its powers, there was Axios honcho Jim VandeHei: "The only thing government should be talking about. How do we make sure that everybody benefits from this technology that's going to make a couple of companies awesomely powerful and awesomely rich? And that's fine if everybody else benefits from it. But if you have a bunch of people or a few people getting really rich, really powerful at the expense of everyone else, you're going to have a much bigger mess than we have today." Yup: We're from the government, and we're going to "make sure" that everybody benefits from AI--in the way that we politicians and bureaucrats think is best! VandeHei also buys into the notion that the wealth pie is limited: if some artificial intelligence creators are getting "awesomely rich," it will be "at the expense of everyone else" -- unless government steps in. Scarborough, wearing his best "AI, git-off-my-lawn!" face [see screencap], detected a dastardly scheme in which "political leaders" are "distracting" young people from realizing that AI is the cause of their job-hunting difficulties by instead blaming, among others, "Somalians."  "Somalians?" It's Somalis, Joe. And they are rightly being blamed—for massive fraud—but not for taking jobs. Perhaps since Scarborough was so focused on money this morning, he had "semolians"—that old-fashioned slang term for dollars—on the noggin, and that crept into his misnaming of Somalis. Here's the transcript. MS NOW Morning Joe 1/23/26 6:04 am ET JOE SCARBOROUGH: We're talking about distractions like Greenland. We're talking about, I mean, and, you know, this guy right here [laughs as he points to photo of Howard Lutnick in the NYT] saying globalization has failed, when the United States has been dominant over the past 80 years because of it.  You talk about a distraction. You talk about what my football coach in high school would talk about majoring in the minors. It's just sheer insanity. This is something that should bring everybody together to figure out how working Americans don't get started -- and they're young! Coming out of our best colleges on the planet even, not being able to get jobs because of AI.  JIM VANDEHEI: I've never in my life seen a bigger disconnect between what people are fixating on and what they should fixate on. It's the only thing government should be talking about. How do we make sure that everybody benefits from this technology that's going to make a couple of companies awesomely powerful and awesomely rich?  And that's fine if everybody else benefits from it. But if you have a bunch of people or a few people getting really rich, really powerful at the expense of everyone else, you're going to have a much bigger mess than we have today.  And so hopefully, by writing about it, by you talking about it, eventually Congress, business leaders, teachers, everyone will start thinking about how do we equip everyone to make this shift? We can do this. I believe that we can do it, but not by ignoring it, right?  SCARBOROUGH: Right. And I mean, listen, and for younger Americans who are trying to figure out why they're not getting jobs, you can blame Somalians if you want to blame Somalians. It's horrible for you to be blaming Somalians, but I know you have political leaders that are telling you, you're not getting jobs because of Somalians. You're not getting jobs because of Mexicans. You're not getting jobs because people are coming from India and they're getting H-1B visas. I understand. I understand. That's what you hear on your feeds. That's what you see on your feeds all the time.  That's simply not the case. The problem right now is, especially right now over the past year to 18 months, you're not getting jobs out of college right now,  because as Jim VandeHei and Axios has [sic, have] reported, and other people have reported, CEOs are frozen. They're saying, we're not going to fire people. But with this AI technology, we don't have to hire anybody new. And we can just get rid of our workforce by attrition. That's what they're thinking right now.  So you blame the Somali eight states over from you. If that makes you feel better, that's not going to fix anything. And it's really bigoted.  So you should actually look what the real problem is. And understand, you have people in Washington, D.C. that will not stand up to tech monopolists. They will not stand up to the billionaires that run this economy. They will not stand up to the very people who are going to get richer and richer on AI and leave you and your friends and your generation further and further behind. It's that simple.  I mean, listen, you can keep getting distracted by things they're trying to get you to distract on. Well, Washington keeps passing tax cuts and keeps passing laws and keeps refusing to do the things they knew, do, need to do to break up tech monopolies.  If you don't want to focus on that, if that's too hard for you to read about, I mean, it shouldn't be. You're in college, for God's sake. You know, then that's your problem. 

President Donald Trump and Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic images to social media Saturday evening apparently showing part of a Homeland Security Investigations officer's finger — in a jar.McLaughlin said Minneapolis "rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer's finger."'This avoidable tragedy is a result of the total failure of Minnesota’s city and state officials.'"He will lose his finger," added McLaughlin.One of the photographs appears to show a medic tending to an HSI officer who is missing the end of the fourth digit on his right hand. Another photo apparently shows the missing piece of the finger with its nail intact inside a plastic container.The alleged incident — which U.S. Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) cited as the latest sign that Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act — came just hours after an armed 37-year-old Illinois native identified as Alex Pretti was fatally shot amid a struggle with federal agents.Pretti's ex-wife told the Associated Press that he was a Democratic voter with a permit to carry a concealed firearm who previously took to the streets in 2020 to protest the death of George Floyd. Pretti's father, Michael Pretti, said he warned his son about protesting, telling him "do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically."The AP added that family members said Pretti was an intensive care nurse at a VA hospital who "cared deeply about people" and was upset by Trump’s "immigration crackdown in his city."RELATED: DHS: Armed suspect fatally shot by federal agent in Minneapolis; suspect 'violently resisted' disarming attempt Photographer: Jaida Grey Eagle/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesThe Department of Homeland security said its "law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."More from the DHS post on X:Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. — (@) In addition to asking about Pretti's firearm, Trump wondered, "Where are the local police? Why weren't they allowed to protect ICE officers? The mayor and the governor called them off? It is stated that many of these police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves — not an easy thing to do!"Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche indicated that an investigation into the shooting is underway but stressed that "this avoidable tragedy is a result of the total failure of Minnesota’s city and state officials who have resisted federal law enforcement and created this escalation."Multitudes of radicals converged on the location of Pretti's shooting and immediately began clashing with federal agents.DHS Secretary Kristi Noem noted that the protesters who rushed to the scene "began to obstruct and to assault law enforcement officers. We saw objects being thrown at them, including ice and other objects.""A rampant assault began and even an HSI officer agent's finger was bitten off," added Noem, who faulted Democrat Gov. Tim Walz for branding ICE as the "gestapo" and other Democrats for effectively painting targets on federal immigration officers' backs. — (@) Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard on Saturday at the request of Democrat Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt also asked for support from the National Guard at the B.H. Whipple Federal Building.The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that role of the Minnesota National Guard "is to work in support of local law enforcement and emergency responders, providing additional resources. Their presence is meant to help create a secure environment where all Minnesotans can exercise their rights safely, including the right to peacefully protest."Like Blaze News?
