DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): Will, one of the things that I believe these protestors want, and their aim, and they even say it on their signs, is for ICE to get out. And we see these similar signs in other cities where President Trump has the federal agents trying to do the job of getting criminal illegal immigrants out. But he does not back down, and I don't think this will deter him at all. So you're going to see this probably increase across American cities over this next year, right?
WILL CAIN (HOST): And to Bill's point a moment ago, is that not what was asked for by Governor Tim Walz when he invokes L.A., and Portland, and Chicago. He's asking for this to spread. And I know that the public knows this, I know that everybody watching knows this, but it's a point that I think needs to be constantly reminded. Enforcement of illegal immigration laws is a democratically elected, laws passed by the people, proposition. The law enforcement officers are doing what the people have asked them to do. Not Donald Trump. Donald Trump is enacting the will of the people. This is our laws. So Jacob Frey and Governor Walz come out there and they say that. They're not debating the merits of the law. They're not in the middle of a campaign. Walz has dropped out. They aren't making an argument to the public. They are asking specifically for the law not to be enforced. No, they're demanding, they're protesting, they're getting agitated to keep the law from being enforced. Your will, the will of the people. You want to have a debate? Have a debate. You want to have an election? Have an election. But this right here. And I think Walz has gone way beyond the pale and Frey. I think what you are talking about is nothing short of seditious language, and Walz is walking the line of the closest thing to federal/state confrontation, therefore insurrection, that we've seen since the 1960s. I won't go all the way to 1860s, I think you can go back to the school integration effects of the 1960s.
