BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): Again, he seems to be optimistic about what he can get Tim Walz to do. Now Tim Walz seems to have a different viewpoint, and this is where things can shift pretty easily for Democrats. So right now, Democrats believe that they have the upper hand. Democrats believe that they have gotten President Trump to cave on policy.
Now, realistically, they have not. Nothing has actually changed in terms of the operations that ICE is slated to perform in Minneapolis. The president has shifted around some faces. He's brought in people who are probably calmer personages in order to implement his policy preferences.
Tom Homan is extraordinarily professional. Again, from the very beginning, when Renee Good was shot, Tom Homan said there'll be a full investigation. Law enforcement has to do its job. That is the proper response when there is a disputed shooting. And he said the same thing about Alex Pretti. He was not out front making absurdly overreaching statements about what happened in these cases where there was full-scale video available. So Tom Homan being there makes a big difference. Democrats, however, seem to believe that now there's a bit of political blood in the water, and they can go all the way.
