    How Activists Are Turning Churches Into Law-Enforcement Obstruction Centers

    If you want to understand why ICE protests are spiraling into vandalism, intimidation, and chaos, this episode connects the dots—and it starts in an unexpected place: churches.   Barrett and Baxa break down shocking footage showing activists being trained inside a church on how to surround, harass, and interfere with ICE agents, complete with role-playing and crowd tactics straight from the pulpit.   With their trademark blunt humor and decades of media experience, Steve and Bob dismantle the narrative that ICE is “kidnapping Americans” and explain what’s actually happening under immigration law. Along the way, they expose how activist misinformation fuels real-world consequences—SUVs smashed, soccer moms targeted, churches disrupted, and private property trashed across Minneapolis.   This is 10 Minutes of Truth at full throttle: media myths busted, laws explained, and the uncomfortable question asked out loud—when did houses of worship become activist training grounds, and who’s responsible for the fallout?   Ten Minutes of Truth | #91   #ICEProtests #ImmigrationLaw #ChurchAndPolitics #LawAndOrder #MediaBias #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #ICE #PoliticalActivism #FreeSpeech   ICE protests, ICE activists, church ICE protest training, immigration enforcement, anti ICE protests, Minneapolis ICE protests, church activism, interfere with ICE, immigration law enforcement, Barrett and Baxa, 10 Minutes of Truth, ICE vandalism, activist training, immigration debate, law and order, media bias immigration, ICE misinformation, Democrat immigration policy

    Mayor Candidate Wants to Meet with Gang Leaders | AT CITY HALL!!! Why That's Terrifying

    Want to understand why the ICE debate has officially jumped the shark? In this episode of Barrett & Baxa, Steve and Bob break down ICE Derangement Syndrome, the strange new condition where politicians invite gang members to protest law enforcement, medical professionals fantasize about harming patients, and Democratic leaders casually flirt with violent rhetoric — all while the media yawns.   We start in California, where a mayoral candidate proudly calls on 55 gangs to “peacefully” oppose ICE (because nothing says calm like rival gang alliances). Then we move into the medical community, where nurses and doctors openly admit they can’t bring themselves to treat MAGA supporters — one even celebrating severe childbirth injuries on social media. Spoiler: filming yourself helps investigators find you faster.   Finally, we hit Washington, where coded language like “put them on ice permanently,” turns into real-world chaos. If you’re trying to make sense of why enforcing immigration law is suddenly treated like a war crime, this episode connects all the dots — with facts, sarcasm, and zero patience for nonsense.     Ten Minutes of Truth | #90   #ICEDerangementSyndrome #ICEProtests #ImmigrationLaw #DemocratHypocrisy #MedicalEthics #PoliticalViolence #HakeemJeffries #KristiNoem #GangViolence #MediaBias #BarrettAndBaxa #LawAndOrder #FreeSpeech .   ICE derangement syndrome, ICE protests, Democrats and ICE, gang leaders protest ICE, nurses refuse MAGA patients, Lexi Lawler nurse, medical ethics politics, Hakeem Jeffries put on ice, Kristi Noem threat, Tren de Aragua gangs, immigration enforcement debate, church training interfere ICE, Minneapolis ICE protests, political violence rhetoric, media hypocrisy immigration, Barrett and Baxa podcast, conservative commentary ICE, immigration law enforcement, anti ICE activism

    Minnesota National Guard Handed Out Donuts - Instead Of Quelling Riots

    If you want to understand why Minneapolis feels lawless, this episode connects the dots in real time. After violence, vandalism, and attacks on federal law enforcement, Minnesota’s response wasn’t order—it was coffee and donuts. Yes, really.   The National Guard was deployed, not to protect ICE agents or businesses, but to play barista for protesters. You can’t make this stuff up—but we did watch it on video.   Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down how a tiny group of activists is allowed to terrorize downtown Minneapolis while leadership shrugs, distracts, and virtue-signals. From hotel break-ins and felony vandalism to ICE agents left alone with guns drawn, this episode exposes how selective enforcement, political cowardice, and media silence created the perfect storm.   If you’re tired of being gaslit about “mostly peaceful protests,” this episode lays out who’s responsible, what’s being ignored, and why it keeps happening—with enough sarcasm to keep you laughing while everything burns 🔥☕🍩   Ten Minutes of Truth | #89   #TimWalz #Minneapolis #NationalGuard #ICEProtests #MinnesotaRiots #LawAndOrder #MediaShmedia #BarrettAndBaxa #FederalLawEnforcement #MinneapolisChaos   Tim Walz, Minnesota National Guard, Minneapolis riots, ICE protests Minneapolis, National Guard donuts, Minnesota protests, Minneapolis vandalism, ICE agents attacked, federal law enforcement protests, Tim Walz leadership, Minneapolis chaos, Minnesota riots analysis, Signal chat protesters, coordinated protests Minnesota, Barrett and Baxa, Media Shmedia

    Crime Scenes Destroyed: The Truth About the ICE Shootings

    If you’re wondering whether anyone can get a fair trial in Minnesota anymore, this episode gives you the uncomfortable answer. Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down the ICE and CBP shooting cases and explain why due process may already be dead—before a single juror is ever seated.   From protesters swarming and contaminating crime scenes, to politicians declaring “murder” within minutes, to activist reporters asking loaded questions, this episode exposes how media bias, political pressure, and protest chaos combine to destroy any chance of an honest investigation. Even if an officer did something wrong, the evidence may never survive long enough to prove it in court.   Along the way, Barrett & Baxa connect the dots to Derek Chauvin, Kyle Rittenhouse, selective outrage on the left, and the dangerous double standard around guns, protests, and law enforcement. It’s blunt, funny, uncomfortable—and exactly the conversation the mainstream media refuses to have.   Ten Minutes of Truth | #88   Minnesota ICE shooting, Minneapolis protests, fair trial Minnesota, ICE agents shooting analysis, crime scene contamination, media bias protests, Derek Chauvin comparison, Kyle Rittenhouse double standard, protest violence Minneapolis, political interference justice, due process failure, activist journalism, federal agents shooting, Minnesota riots, law enforcement protests   #ICE #Minnesota #Minneapolis #FairTrial #DueProcess #LawEnforcement #MediaBias #ProtestChaos #CrimeScene #PoliticalViolence #BarrettAndBaxa #IndependentMedia #FreeSpeech #JusticeSystem

    Cameron Kasky Gets OWNED by Scott Jennings in CNN Immigration Clash

    If you want to see how to instantly lose a CNN argument, this episode is a masterclass — just not for the guy who tried it. In this installment of 10 Minutes of Truth, Scott Jennings calmly, methodically, and publicly dismantles a would-be congressional candidate who thought he could lecture adults about language, immigration, and reality itself.   What starts as another predictable CNN panel on illegal immigration quickly turns into a full-blown media face-plant. Cameron Kasky attempts to police words, invent talking points, and then — just for fun — accuses a sitting president of being part of a global sex-trafficking ring. That’s usually when the lawyers lean forward and the clock starts ticking.   This episode breaks down why CNN panels keep creating viral disasters, how activist culture collapses under basic questioning, and why you never, ever step up to Scott Jennings without a helmet. Watch it for the laughs, stay for the lesson, and enjoy one of the most satisfying on-air takedowns you’ll see all week.   Ten Minutes of Truth | #87   #ScottJennings #CNNFail #MediaMeltdown #IllegalImmigration #10MinutesOfTruth #WokeCulture #PoliticalDebate #CNNPanel #MediaCriticism #BarrettAndBaxa   Scott Jennings CNN, Cameron Casy CNN, CNN panel meltdown, illegal immigration debate, ICE raids Minneapolis, CNN woke panel, Scott Jennings immigration, CNN argument viral, political panel fail, media hypocrisy, CNN culture war, gun control activist CNN, Parkland activist controversy, CNN defamation risk, Trump CNN panel argument

    Why This Lindell TV Reporter Is Making Democrats Melt Down

    Want to see what happens when Democrats get asked the same tough questions Republicans hear every single day? Strap in. This episode breaks down the viral rise of Lindell TV reporter Allison Steinberg, the MyPillow Guy’s unexpected media weapon, and why Capitol Hill Democrats absolutely lose their minds when the press stops giving them friendly back rubs.   From Nancy Pelosi’s now-legendary “shut up” moment to senators and party leaders openly mocking her outlet while refusing to answer basic questions, this is a masterclass in media hypocrisy. Democrats love journalism—right up until it stops agreeing with them. Then suddenly it’s “Republican talking points,” “mental health concerns,” and straight-up rage.   We roll the most viral clips, explain why these reactions keep happening, and why independent media—yes, even Lindell TV—is driving legacy politicians and legacy journalists absolutely insane. Turns out, accountability hits a lot harder when the questions don’t come with a side of ice-cream flavors.   Ten Minutes of Truth #84   My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell, Lindell TV, Allison Steinberg, Allison Steiner, Nancy Pelosi shut up, Democrats freak out, Capitol Hill reporter, viral political clips, media bias, conservative media, independent journalism, tough questions Democrats, Pelosi National Guard, RFK quack comment, Maxine Waters confrontation, Hakeem Jeffries Epstein question, election conspiracy debate, alternative media, press accountability, Barrett and Baxa, 10 Minutes of Truth   #MyPillowGuy #LindellTV #MediaBias #Democrats #NancyPelosi #IndependentMedia #PoliticalNews #ViralPolitics #10MinutesOfTruth #BarrettAndBaxa

    Don Lemon Crossed the Line—and America Finally Snapped

    If you’ve ever wondered how activists manage to alienate almost everyone at once, this episode breaks it down in real time. Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa react to Don Lemon showing up at an ICE protest that stormed straight into a church—then pretending he had no idea what was happening. Spoiler alert: nobody bought it.   From screaming at parishioners during worship to lecturing Christians about Christianity, this protest managed to offend the right, the middle, and a whole lot of people on the left who were previously sympathetic. Steve and Bob explain why church disruptions are a political bridge too far, how the “everyone’s protesting” narrative collapses under basic math, and why Don Lemon’s post-CNN relevance tour isn’t landing.   And finally, the real irony: chasing clicks is fun—until the only clicks left are the ones you hear when the cuffs go on. This episode pulls apart media hypocrisy, protest theater, and why America’s patience for this nonsense is officially running out.   Ten Minutes of Truth | #86   Don Lemon, Don Lemon protest, ICE protest church, protesters storm church, Don Lemon CNN fired, ICE protests Minneapolis, church protest backlash, Don Lemon controversy, left wing protests, protest goes too far, media hypocrisy, activism backlash, church disruption protest, Barrett and Baxa, Media Shmedia podcast   #DonLemon #ICEProtests #ChurchProtest #MediaHypocrisy #ActivismFail #FreeSpeech #ProtestBacklash #BarrettAndBaxa #MediaShmedia #TenMinutesofTruth

    When Activism Turns Into a Parade: The Truth About ICE Protests

    Think the streets are filled with rage over ICE? Think again. In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down why today’s ICE protests look less like serious activism—and more like a traveling circus with drums, costumes, conga lines, and social-media auditions. If you want to understand what’s really driving these demonstrations, this episode will save you a lot of fake outrage.   From puppet parades and choreographed dance routines to protesters flipping from “I’m furious” to “I’m having a blast” in under ten seconds, this episode exposes how modern left-wing protests have become performative events designed for viral clips—not meaningful change. It’s rage cosplay with better lighting and worse rhythm.   Steve and Bob also take aim at media hypocrisy, MSNBC’s contradictory coverage, and the very real people being disrupted—hotel workers, travelers, and ordinary residents—while activists treat downtown Minneapolis like an open-air festival. Equal parts comedy and cultural autopsy, this episode explains why performative outrage is replacing real debate—and why nobody seems embarrassed anymore.   Ten Minutes of Truth | #85   ICE protests, Minneapolis protests, ICE protest chaos, performative activism, protest circus, band geeks protest, political theater, left wing protests, media hypocrisy, MSNBC protests, Fox News The Five, Greg Gutfeld, Jessica Tarlov, immigration protests, ICE enforcement, viral protests, activist performance, political outrage culture, 10 Minutes of Truth, Barrett and Baxa   #ICEProtests #PerformativeActivism #ProtestCircus #MediaHypocrisy #PoliticalTheater #Minneapolis #10MinutesOfTruth #BarrettAndBaxa #OutrageCulture #ViralProtests
