In the wake of the horrific murder of Irina Zarutska by the career criminal with 14 prior
00:00:06.280
arrests, the mainstream left, not the extremists, not the fringe, the most mainstream kind of left
00:00:14.120
wing voice on the most mainstream left wing network is furious that you don't have sufficient
00:00:21.720
sympathy for the murderer. We don't know why that man did what he did. We don't know how to deal
00:00:28.500
with people who were hurting in the way this man was hurting. Hurt people, hurt people.
00:00:34.000
Hurt people, hurt people. Won't somebody please think of the stabbers? I'm Michael Knowles. This
00:00:58.500
Welcome back to the show. Israel has blown up another country this time. I shouldn't laugh
00:01:09.000
about it. What are you going to do? You're going to laugh or cry, I guess. Israel hit Qatar and Qatar,
00:01:15.500
which is a U.S. ally, hit Qatar and blew up a bunch of Hamas guys. I guess that's fine.
00:01:20.000
And ostensibly, while they were negotiating to accept a Trump ceasefire deal. And well,
00:01:27.440
that's the official story anyway. And everybody officially is shocked and dismayed and condemning
00:01:35.160
of the attack. And yet, I think if you read in between the lines, I think the real story is
00:01:40.440
quite different. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Birch Gold.
00:01:44.780
Text Knowles to 98, 98, 98. When inflation jumps, when you hear the national debt is over $37
00:01:51.100
trillion, do you ever think maybe now would be a good time to buy some gold? Whether as a hedge
00:01:56.520
against inflation, peace of mind during global instability, or just for sensible diversification,
00:02:01.400
Birch Gold Group believes every American should own physical gold. So, they created something
00:02:06.620

portfolio. And boy, oh boy, have I been happy about that, especially this past week, really. I mean,
00:02:26.740

00:03:05.600
top left-wing pundit on the main left-wing news outlet. What is your reaction to the career
00:03:12.820
criminal who jumped up randomly and started stabbing this white woman in the throat and then
00:03:19.700
I think said something about got that white girl or got that white woman? I think we heard that was
00:03:24.940
going around the internet. I think that's real. And then the people around her did absolutely nothing
00:03:30.200
for a minute, minute and a half, and then she died. What's your take on that?
00:03:37.920
Hurt people hurt people, you know? That's just how it goes. Hurt people hurt people.
00:03:43.420
Got it. Got it. Let's go back just a few years.
00:03:47.920
When George Floyd died, when George Floyd resisted arrest and then the police officer
00:03:56.640
subdued him and then he died during the arrest, the police officer was arrested.
00:04:02.680
Police officer was put on trial. Here is what Van Jones had to say about the supposed perpetrator,
00:04:09.580
you know, actually the police officer in this case, Derek Chauvin. Here's what he had to say about him
00:04:14.400
and all the police officers around him. The idea that you could have a lynching,
00:04:22.860
you know, an officer lynch a man, you know, that was a lynching. Not one minute, not two minutes,
00:04:29.400
not three minutes, six, seven, eight minutes depriving someone of oxygen in a spectacle in front
00:04:34.820
of the whole community. That was a lynching. You could have that lynching and have not just the
00:04:39.300
officer do it. But to have three other police officers there and do nothing to intervene and
00:04:45.920
in fact defend it, that you could then give 87 degree murder. I've never heard a third degree
00:04:53.240
murder. I'm an attorney. I'm in my 50s. I've never heard a third degree murder. You give a third degree
00:04:58.900
murder charge in that, not arrest the other officers. And we're all going to say thank you very much and
00:05:03.060
go back to what we were doing. You actually incited people.
00:05:06.820
Right. But what if he was hurting? Hold on, Van, Van. Hold on. What if Derek Chauvin was hurting?
00:05:14.700
The hurt people hurt people, you know? Come on, where's your sympathy? Aren't we, we're supposed
00:05:19.660
to, now in that case, by the way, he calls it a lynching. Derek Chauvin was an officer of the law
00:05:24.660
who tried to arrest George Floyd, who had just committed a crime, who had committed a lot of
00:05:29.220
crimes in his life. And George Floyd just consistently resisted arrest the whole time and was super high on
00:05:34.640
fentanyl. And the officer just subdued him following a lot of ordinary police training.
00:05:40.440
And Van Jones's response was one, to say that it was murder, say it was a lynching, not to have any
00:05:47.800
sympathy for, who knows, Derek Chauvin, he might have stubbed his toe that morning. He might have,
00:05:52.100
his dad might not have hugged him when he was a kid. Hurt people hurt people. Not only to go after
00:05:56.420
him, but to demand that he be imprisoned, effectively for life, and to demand that all
00:06:04.640
of the police officers who might have even been in his vicinity be punished. But then when it's a
00:06:10.860
14 prior arrest, career criminal, lunatic, vagrant, he stabs this poor little Ukrainian woman on the
00:06:20.400
train. Just out of the blue, you see, I'm not going to show the pictures. I'm not going to show the
00:06:24.360
pictures. I'm not going to show the video. The look of horror and shock on her face when this
00:06:28.480
happens. He walks around and no one on the train does anything for a minute, minute and a half.
00:06:34.620
Well, it's hurt people hurt people. Mind you, mind you. I'm not even just focusing on Van Jones's
00:06:42.800
emotion or the lack of emotion or the lack of emotion of the mainstream left. Forget about their
00:06:47.100
emotion. Their policies are responsible for this. The mainstream left, which has said we need to go soft
00:06:53.800
on crime, which has said we need to be tough on cops. We need to punish cops for doing their job,
00:06:58.380
which has said we need to abolish prisons, which has said we need to decriminalize deviant activity,
00:07:03.160
which has said we need to stop arresting the mentally ill, stop arresting the homeless. I mean,
00:07:09.820
I could go on with this litany all day. The left established the conditions in which this sort of
00:07:16.120
crime occurs and then ignores the crime when it happens. Whatever happened to, we need to do
00:07:23.440
something. Remember that, you know, whenever there's a shooting or any kind of incident that's
00:07:28.660
convenient for the left, we need to do something. Damn your thoughts and prayers. I don't want to
00:07:34.000
hear it. We're not even getting thoughts and prayers from Van Jones. We're getting platitudes
00:07:37.640
from like Oprah or something. I don't know. Where's that quote from? I think it's from a pastor in the
00:07:42.040
50s, actually, or a high school principal or something. Hurt people, hurt people. Whatever
00:07:45.700
it is, just frivolous nonsense. That's not even a thought in prayer. It's not even a thought.
00:07:52.940
What about we need to do something? Because I tell you how you could stop this sort of thing.
00:07:57.440
If someone gets arrested 14 times, you're out. You're out. No more. Either you stay in prison
00:08:03.780
forever or you're out or you're really out. That seems like a good idea, right? Maybe when people
00:08:12.180
do get arrested, we don't let them out on bail and bond. Maybe when people are living on the
00:08:17.680
streets, we don't just let them do that. Maybe we arrest them and we either force them to go to a
00:08:21.320
shelter or we force them to go to an insane asylum or we force them to go to jail. Or maybe we just do
00:08:26.560
what we've done more or less forever by enforcing the law. We could do that. The left doesn't want
00:08:35.760
us to do that. The Van Joneses don't want us to do that. All of this is so predictable. I think
00:08:42.540
that's what people are frustrated by. You see all these people saying, I'm just sick of this. I'm sick
00:08:45.880
of seeing this. It's so exhausting. Part of what's exhausting about it is it's so predictable.
00:08:51.440
In this case, literally 14 times. There are 14 mugshots of this guy you can find on the internet.
00:08:56.560
You didn't think like after the 11th time, maybe we just take him out of society.
00:09:02.300
No, we can't do that because that would be wrong. That would be, that would be prejudicial. That
00:09:08.660
would be biased. That would be, this stuff is predictable. And I know at a deeper level,
00:09:15.040
part of the reason that people don't want to recognize patterns of crime, for instance,
00:09:21.280
or any other kind of pattern is that we don't want to be unfair to the individual. And that's
00:09:25.880
actually a decent impulse. We feel that if you recognize predictable patterns in anything,
00:09:33.100
not even just in crime, in anything, and you act upon those predictions, that that's going to
00:09:38.200
somehow undermine people's free will. This is actually a longstanding problem of human nature
00:09:44.100
and of theology and all the rest of it. But just because something is predictable doesn't mean that
00:09:50.820
it undermines free will. Just because you know that, just because you know that when you flip a
00:09:56.400
coin 500 times, statistically, 250 of those are going to be heads, 250 of those are going to be
00:10:03.160
tails, does not mean that you know with certainty that anytime you flip a coin, it's going to be
00:10:08.960
heads or tails. Like you get to the 499th flip, you're now about to flip the 500th time.
00:10:14.320
You've had one more head than tails. You're not going to bet the farm on tails and say it's got
00:10:20.580
to come up tails. It's not true. Any coin flip could be either one of those. But in the aggregate,
00:10:25.920
it's going to be 50-50. You can predict things and you can act based on those predictions.
00:10:33.680
We know which neighborhoods the crime takes place in. We know how to stop crime.
00:10:37.780
You put more cops on the beat. You arrest more people. You don't let people out on bail and bond
00:10:45.680
willy-nilly. When people commit crimes many, many times, you just lock them up forever at least.
00:10:52.100
We know how to do that. That doesn't necessarily compromise people's free will. That doesn't
00:10:58.260
target people unfairly or unnecessarily. That's just called common sense.
00:11:04.780
People are predictable because we have human nature. And we can predict what people in the
00:11:12.360
aggregate do because we have reason. And also, people have free will and need to have their
00:11:18.900
rights respected. But at a certain point, when we use our reason prudentially, we actually can
00:11:29.420
prevent these crimes. We used to do that. It's a recent phenomenon. It's really a post-George
00:11:35.240
Floyd phenomenon that we've said cops are bad and criminals need to be able to do whatever they want.
00:11:39.380
This is what happens. Hurt people hurt people. Not good enough for me. Run on that. Tell the
00:11:47.240
Democrats to run on that. On the rampant crime going all over around the country, poor innocent
00:11:51.940
little women being stabbed in the neck on trains. No one does anything. Run on that. Your answer is
00:11:57.420
hurt people hurt people. We're going to win every single house of government. And then I hope we do
00:12:02.940
something when we have that. Now, speaking of law and order, the media are terrified that the right
00:12:10.940
is going to do something about it because we do currently have power. We'll get to that in one
00:12:13.800
second. First, though, I want you to send me your voicemail bag questions. You know, some people
00:12:19.120
are very confused. How do I send a message in? How do I send a voicemail bag? It's very simple.
00:12:22.940
You go to dailywire.com. You click watch. You click the Michael Knowles show. Then you click
00:12:27.640
send in a mailbag question. And it's going to open up an email. And you can either write your
00:12:32.080
mailbag question or I prefer the voicemail bags. So you record it on your phone, however you record
00:12:36.600
your audio, whether it's your camera, whether it's your voice memo, however you do it on your
00:12:40.320
computer with a phonograph. I don't know. Then you attach it. Now, please, I implore you.
00:12:45.440
Keep it to 30 seconds. A minute at most. A minute at most. It's very sweet. You send it. But
00:12:53.320
sometimes you send me your memoir. Sometimes you send me your three-hour saga. I can't air that.
00:13:02.300
You got 30 seconds, okay? Please. Well, at least at the very most a minute. And then I'll get to hear
00:13:09.000
your mellifluous voice and I will answer your burning questions on Friday. You know the story.
00:13:15.880
You know the story about what happened on that train in Charlotte. The story is not that a career
00:13:22.120
criminal predictably stabbed a poor Ukrainian refugee in the neck and she bled out more or less
00:13:27.620
without any help. The story is not even that hurt people hurt people. The story is that a stabbing
00:13:36.800
fuels MAGA's crime message. Stabbing fuels MAGA's crime message. This is a version of Republicans
00:13:49.560
Pounce. You know Republicans Pounce. I know for the younger people in the audience, not as familiar with
00:13:54.300
this. Whenever there's a Republican scandal, the story is the Republican scandal. Whenever there's
00:13:59.860
a Democrat scandal, the story is how Republicans are overreacting to the Democrat scandal. That's
00:14:05.260
how it goes. So this is it. That's the story, right? The stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message.
00:14:10.780
What is MAGA's crime message? MAGA's crime message is we need to get tougher on crime,
00:14:17.800
that the criminals are committing crimes. I guess that's the message and we should stop that.
00:14:24.300
Why is the video stabbing, fueling MAGA's crime message? Is it because the video is
00:14:31.240
revealing something about the reality of our criminal justice system about our society
00:14:37.820
and that reality corresponds to the MAGA crime message? It's not even the worst headline in the
00:14:43.500
world because the headline basically says, hey, Republicans are right. Hey, evidence shows that
00:14:50.840
what Republicans are saying is correct. We don't quite want to admit that. So we'll just say it's
00:14:56.980
this. It's a highly selectively edited video or something. This reality very unfairly is backing up
00:15:03.340
with what Trump and the Republicans are saying. Yeah. Yeah. But the thing is, we know. We knew
00:15:11.280
before the stabbing, before this awful stabbing that was totally predictable and preventable.
00:15:17.080
Not totally preventable, but pretty preventable.
00:15:22.100
We knew that before. That's one of the reasons we voted for Trump. That's the thing.
00:15:28.180
And now we're seeing more proof of that. Trump ran on fixing crime. Trump ran on law and order.
00:15:37.200
That's what we voted for. We know that. So they're going to try to make it a black versus white issue.
00:15:44.720
They're going to really try to lean into race on this. Don't forget Trump won more,
00:15:49.160
a greater percentage of the black male vote than any Republican in my lifetime. Let's not forget
00:15:55.780
that Trump won 46% of Hispanics. Let's not forget that. There is certainly a racial aspect to this
00:16:02.960
because when on the exceedingly rare occasion, when a white person kills a black person,
00:16:09.920
it becomes an international news story for like 18 months. And on the much more frequent occasion
00:16:15.960
that it's a black person killing a white person, it's buried by the media if they can succeed in
00:16:20.000
burying it. So there is a racial aspect to it. There's no question about it. But the left is going to
00:16:24.740
try to use that to advance their race hustler message. I don't think anybody's having that anymore,
00:16:29.440
including black people, including Hispanic people, including everyone. Now, speaking of law
00:16:34.900
enforcement and racial profiling, the Supreme Court reportedly is going to permit racial profiling,
00:16:41.480
sort of, kind of, in limited instances, but not quite really. What's the story? Supreme Court
00:16:48.180
on Monday overturned a federal judge's order that said that federal agents in LA could not stop people
00:16:59.500
and question them based on, in part, their race. And the Supreme Court overrules that. This is probably
00:17:05.660
not the last word on this issue. It's going to be litigated more and more and more. But at least for
00:17:11.240
now, the ICE agents are allowed to racially profile. What does that mean? What does that mean? What were
00:17:17.860
the ICE agents doing in California? The ICE agents had been stopping people and briefly questioning them
00:17:25.260
based on one to four factors or a combination of all four. Race and ethnicity, language, language spoken
00:17:35.880
and accent, location, where they were picked up, and type of work they were doing. And the left said
00:17:45.380
that's completely unacceptable, that's illegal, undermines civil rights, unconstitutional.
00:17:55.260
The federal agents have a job. The federal agents have this job to get rid of people who are not
00:18:00.540
supposed to be here. Foreign nationals who are here illegally. And the left says you're not allowed
00:18:07.120
to consider whether or not they're foreign. You're not allowed to consider whether or not they look
00:18:13.300
foreign, whether or not they look like all the other foreigners, whether or not they sound foreign,
00:18:19.000
they speak a foreign language. They go to the places that the foreign people go and they do the
00:18:25.700
kind of work that the foreign people do. You're not allowed to consider any of that. But otherwise,
00:18:28.700
good luck. So you see, the argument that they're not allowed to profile based on language or looks or
00:18:35.500
anything like that, location, the argument is just another way of saying you're not allowed to deport
00:18:41.780
the foreigners. You won the popular vote in November based on a promise to deport the foreigners,
00:18:49.860
the illegal alien foreigners. There are plenty of other foreigners who are here legally that we
00:18:53.300
can't deport. But you won an election largely on that. The federal law says you're supposed to
00:18:58.780
deport these illegal aliens, but we're not going to let you. You're not allowed to do that.
00:19:04.400
Because the things that you would have to do to do that are illegal and unconstitutional and
00:19:09.660
violate civil rights. Is that true? Can that be true? Can it be true that you're not allowed to
00:19:17.700
profile when you're looking for criminals? That cannot possibly be true because the entire job
00:19:26.360
of law enforcement is to profile. The entire job of law enforcement is to distinguish between
00:19:36.400
the criminals and the innocent. That's the job. That's what you're hired to do.
00:19:42.340
And when you distinguish between people, you profile them. You look around, sometimes even without
00:19:50.700
rational processing, just on gut reaction, instinct based on years of experience. You look around and
00:19:57.680
you say, okay, that guy has all the features of criminals and that person does not. And so I'm
00:20:06.080
going to not just immediately throw the person in the clink, but I'm going to now go and question
00:20:10.380
that person because he looks like the criminals. He talks like the criminals. He's doing the things
00:20:15.420
the criminals do in the places that the criminals are. Hey, are you a criminal? Now, if the guy,
00:20:22.720
you go up to the guy who looks like an illegal alien face tattooed Trendy Aragwa gangbanger,
00:20:28.880
if a cop went up to that guy and said, hey, are you a Trendy Aragwa gangbanger? And the guy said,
00:20:33.600
what are you talking about, sir? I don't understand what the problem is. I'm here. I'm just here on my
00:20:38.700
student visa from Oxford. Oh, you're wondering about the face tattoos. Yes, that was a crazy little
00:20:44.200
night at the pub. The old bird and the baby, you know, the fellow. Okay, sorry, sir. I didn't,
00:20:49.660
I guess I was mistaken. Appearances can be deceiving sometimes, but usually they're not.
00:20:54.660
Usually appearances are not deceiving. Usually appearances are helpful. They point us to things.
00:21:01.940
Most of the time, the face tattooed Venezuelan looking guy with the thick accent who doesn't
00:21:06.580
speak any English, who's hanging out in the trap house, usually that guy just is the illegal alien.
00:21:13.440
You have to profile. To say stop profiling is to say stop, stop enforcing the law. Stop being
00:21:23.920
cops. To say stop profiling is to say, hey, Irina Zarutskas are going to multiply all around the
00:21:31.740
country. There's going to be an Irina Zarutska in the news every single day because we're going to
00:21:36.520
let the criminals run roughshod over there. Do you want that? That's the alternative. It's that or
00:21:39.880
profiling. What's your choice? I think most people have made their choice, and I think most people
00:21:46.260
are right. Now, there's a lot more going on, specifically involving deportations, specifically
00:21:53.760
involving law enforcement, all the way to President Trump declaring war on a major American city. First,
00:21:59.180
though, I want to tell you about Bowling Branch. Go to bowlingbranch.com slash Knowles. Do you know

00:23:19.780
from a few days ago, but I really want to get to it at least briefly because it tells you something
00:23:25.740
about political tactics, and the squishes hate this stuff, and the squishes are wrong, and Trump is right.
00:23:32.760
Trump tweets out, a few days ago, I love the smell of deportations in the morning.
00:23:37.780
Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War, and then three helicopters,
00:23:42.520
and it's a picture of Trump. It says Chai-pocalypse now. It's the president with shades on,
00:23:51.220
city burning in the background. That's aggressive. It's pretty aggressive. Trump renamed the Defense
00:23:56.620
Department, Department of War. He's now treating Chicago as Vietnam, and he's going to drop
00:24:02.580
napalm all over it or something. I don't know. That's great. The White House tweeted it out too.
00:24:08.180
Chicago better find out. Trump was then asked about this at the White House. Here's what he had
00:24:21.940
Well, why would you do the Department of Defense?
00:24:23.520
Listen, be quiet. Listen. You don't listen. You never listen. That's why you're second rate.
00:24:29.960
We're not going to war. We're going to clean up our cities. We're going to clean them up so they
00:24:34.400
don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war. That's common sense.
00:24:39.380
Perfect answer, perfect answer, and perfect exchange, and perfect setup is really what this is about.
00:24:45.080
Trump and the White House tweet this out, and it's crazy and over the top and obvious bait.
00:24:51.840
Then the media take the bait, and then he sounds reasonable. People ask, is it really necessary for
00:24:57.200
Trump to say these things, to talk about declaring war on Chicago, and does he really have to do that,
00:25:01.740
and does he really, isn't it just, it's so unpresidential? It's a, yes, he does. He does have
00:25:05.340
to do it because when he trolls and when he puts that little bait out there, then it leads the media
00:25:13.060
to come ask, is this really necessary? Is this, you're going to declare war? He says, hold on,
00:25:16.540
hold on. Knock it off. You're second rate. He puts her in her place, which looks great and
00:25:21.040
establishes authority, and most people want because the media lied because they look at, they look at
00:25:25.320
career criminal lunatics stabbing people, and they say, hurt people, hurt people. We're so sick of
00:25:30.640
these guys, and Trump says, put, he says, you're second rate. He puts her in her place, and he says,
00:25:35.680
we're not declaring war. Where'd you get that from? Your tweets are, never mind. Where'd you get
00:25:40.000
that from? We're not declaring war. It's called enforcing the law. It's called common sense.
00:25:45.780
So because the media don't want to pay attention to these things, crime in Chicago, most people have
00:25:51.240
no idea how many people are murdered every single weekend in Chicago. It's shocking. Because most people
00:25:57.200
don't see the incidents like you saw in Charlotte with Irina Zarutska. Because you don't see that,
00:26:03.640
Trump has to figure out a way to make the media show people that. That's what he does. That's what
00:26:10.600
all of this stuff is about. And it works. It's totally politically effective. And the squishes
00:26:16.560
who want to whine about whether or not it's presidential, they just don't get it. They're
00:26:20.620
just not going to make it. He gets the attention, and then they make him look reasonable. That's smart.
00:26:26.680
Now, a lot of the Chicago operation is going to be about deportations. That's where a lot of
00:26:33.400
the focus lies, and it needs to lie. Because we don't know how many of these people are in the
00:26:36.940
country. Conservative estimates say 11 million to 16 million people. We don't know. There have
00:26:41.280
been a lot of self-deportations. Trump's critics don't want to give him credit for that. But
00:26:45.080
there have been at least 1.6 million of these illegal aliens who have left the country just
00:26:49.880
in the last seven, eight months. So it's pretty impressive, but there's a lot of ways to go.
00:26:54.140
Some members of Congress, especially this Democrat Congress lady, Yasemin Ansari,
00:26:58.760
see no distinction between the illegal aliens and their own actual constituents.
00:27:06.140
So I didn't realize this was such a controversy until the right-wing media started attacking me for
00:27:12.060
using the word. So I googled the word constituent. The definition of constituent is somebody who is
00:27:18.120
part of a community. It doesn't matter what their legal status is. If somebody is an asylum seeker,
00:27:23.560
if somebody has a green card, if somebody is a U.S. citizen, if somebody lives in the community,
00:27:31.560
I represent them. Constituent does not mean voter. I don't care if none of these individuals can vote
00:27:39.440
for me. I don't give a shit. I care about making sure that the United States government, with our
00:27:46.260
taxpayer dollars, is treating human beings with dignity and respect.
00:27:50.140
Oh my goodness, we're not going to make it. If this is the caliber of legislator,
00:27:55.040
we're not going to make it. First of all, this is a little bit separate. Whenever you're having
00:28:00.180
a debate with your friends or your co-workers or your family, or if you're on TV, please, please,
00:28:05.760
please don't pull the, actually, Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines criminal as,
00:28:14.340
actually, you know, I look, it's so embarrassing what she just said. She said, you know, they were
00:28:22.100
accusing me of prioritizing foreign criminals over my own constituents. See, you know what I did?
00:28:28.400
You know what I did? I googled the word constituent. Oh my goodness gracious. Oh my goodness.
00:28:35.700
You're a member of Congress. You don't know the meaning of the word constituent.
00:28:39.500
You don't know. We're not going to make it. These people, this ain't the Continental Congress
00:28:45.300
anymore, folks. These are not, I don't think that Yasmin Ansari could have written the Federalist
00:28:51.160
Papers. I don't know that she has a decent grasp on the English language. She had to Google the word
00:28:57.200
constituent. Constituents are, that's one of the, like, five words you need to know if you are a
00:29:06.880
member of Congress. You need to know the word. Law, do you know what law means? It's an ordinance
00:29:11.220
of reason for the common good by him who has care of the community and promulgated. Do you know that
00:29:14.740
one? Okay, well, that's a freebie for Yasmin Ansari. You need to know law. You need to know vote.
00:29:21.520
You know vote? You know what, that's where you put the thing in the box. That's what you used to do.
00:29:24.940
Now you just go into computers that might be able to be hacked. Anyway, that's a separate topic.
00:29:29.840
And constituent, that's the people that you represent. And she goes, I googled it? You're not
00:29:36.020
going to believe what this means. No, I will believe it because I know what the word constituent
00:29:39.400
means. No, you're not going to believe this, Michael. I googled it and it says a member of a
00:29:43.060
community. So there, so there, owned conservatives. It just means a member of a community.
00:29:51.780
Yes. Follow-up question. What's the community? What's the community? She thinks this is an own.
00:30:01.300
She thinks she, what's the community? Community refers to that which is in common, that which is
00:30:11.520
public. Are the illegal aliens properly part of the community? If I fly, well, we're about to get to
00:30:23.780
Israel blowing up Qatar. If I just flew into Qatar, I've been to Qatar. I was in the Doha airport for
00:30:28.780
nine hours one time. Am I part of the Qatari community? Well, I'm there for nine hours. I was
00:30:34.940
waiting for my next flight. I smoked a cigar in the airport. I had a glass of scotch. I ate some nice
00:30:40.300
little Qatari food in the lounge. Did that make me part of the Qatari community, the Doha community?
00:30:47.160
No. I was there. I was physically present there, but I was in no way part of their community.
00:30:53.840
An illegal alien who comes here, an economic migrant, likely came here in recent years when
00:31:02.620
Joe Biden threw open the doors and millions of illegal aliens came every year.
00:31:08.480
That person might physically be in this lady's district. That person might even count for the
00:31:14.920
purposes of the U.S. census and congressional apportionment, which is not based on citizenship,
00:31:21.360
but just based on warm bodies. But that person is not part of the community. That person doesn't
00:31:28.120
share the legal responsibilities of being part of the community. That person, not all of them at
00:31:32.600
least, that person does not share the language of the community, does not share the traditions of the
00:31:38.680
community, does not respect the laws the community does. This person's not part of it.
00:31:44.440
That's going to be my next movie. That can be my follow-up to Matt's movies. That'll be my big hit
00:31:49.780
movie. What is a community? What is a community? She doesn't know that. We don't have a sense of
00:31:54.360
that. And this is deeper than this woman. And it's deeper than even the Democrats. We don't
00:31:58.800
understand what a community is. We don't really understand what common good is anymore. So the
00:32:03.460
left ignores that and just pushes selfishness on the social front, largely through weird sex stuff
00:32:09.320
and drugs and just disordered behaviors. But the right has pushed it a little bit too,
00:32:14.220
just largely on the economic front, where we exalt the notion that greed is good and the
00:32:19.800
virtue of selfishness, which is a book by Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand, who until recently was a popular
00:32:24.580
writer, one of the favorites on the right, pushed this kind of hyper-individualist libertarian idea.
00:32:29.740
So we're kind of both sides are guilty of it. But it's even worse. It's worse. The fact that this
00:32:37.480
woman doesn't know what constituent means is bad. The fact that she doesn't know what community means
00:32:41.480
and that none of us really knows what community means, even, even worse.
00:32:47.980
Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines we're cooked as that video. Okay. Dearborn Heights,
00:32:54.920
Michigan, speaking of lack of community and foreigners, is now proposing the first ever
00:32:59.180
Arabic language police patch in the United States. The wait is nearly over. Tonight,
00:33:05.660
we're celebrating a decade of The Daily Wire with the live premiere of our new show,
00:33:08.980
Friendly Fire at 7 p.m. Eastern. We're not here to tell stories of the past. This isn't
00:33:12.920
nostalgia hour. We're giving you a first look at what's coming next. New series, new projects,
00:33:17.660
huge announcements, surprises we've been holding back until now. This is the official start
00:33:20.880
of our next decade. It's the live premiere of Friendly Fire. All of us together doing what we do,
00:33:27.540
yell at each other. And when we're in person, we try to hit each other. But this time,
00:33:31.760
this will be just virtual. Watch live tonight, 7 p.m. Eastern, dailywire.com,
00:33:36.160
on the Daily Wire Plus app. My favorite comment yesterday is from Marcus W210. It says,
00:33:44.920
I'm amazed that Greta's boat hadn't already sunk under the weight of her self-importance.
00:33:51.060
Yes, yes, that you could, you could imagine hearing just like, how dare we start in our dream?
00:34:01.580
Yes, that's true. Although now, I don't know, now with Keffia wearing Greta, it might just be like,
00:34:08.840
anyway, you're right, but she's okay. Greta's okay, as are all of her friends. And looks like it
00:34:19.680
wasn't a drone now. No evidence it was an Israeli drone. It was off of Tunisia. And anyway,
00:34:25.400
she got her attention. She got, and she loves that. If they said, Greta, you could end global
00:34:32.900
warming now. You could finally vanquish the sun monster. Or you could get one more second of
00:34:40.360
attention. How dare you ask me that question? Give me my attention. Speaking of foreigners,
00:34:46.880
Dearborn Heights, Michigan has proposed a new patch for its police department.
00:34:54.820
This patch is unusual. When I travel around the country, you know, I give speeches and stuff.
00:34:59.440
And often the local cops will give me a patch of that. It's kind of cool. And so I have this
00:35:04.120
great collection. Well, this is a patch unlike any that I have ever seen, at least in America,
00:35:09.340
because it has Arabic on it. Dearborn Heights in English, followed by Arabic, and then the seal,
00:35:16.220
and then police, followed by Arabic. And reportedly, they're backing off this after
00:35:24.640
public backlash. Yeah, it's a bad look, especially in this political environment. But just at the local
00:35:31.240
level, what's wrong with the patch? I guess it's an unpopular view on the right. Why shouldn't the
00:35:39.120
patch be in Arabic? Everyone in Dearborn speaks Arabic? It's full of Arabs. It's all Muslims.
00:35:47.500
Why wouldn't it be in Arabic? They have Arabic customs, Arabic ethnicity, Arabic language.
00:35:57.820
They, why wouldn't the police patch reflect that? Well, because they're American now,
00:36:03.380
and we expect them to assimilate. Yeah, but they haven't. Even if they do within five generations,
00:36:09.460
maybe they will, maybe they won't. It's somewhat dubious, but maybe that will happen.
00:36:13.600
But right now, they're not doing that. You can't just flood a country with a certain type of person
00:36:18.760
from a particularly alien culture, and then expect them immediately to assimilate. That doesn't work.
00:36:24.720
So yeah, why? In some ways, I want the patch to be in Arabic. I don't. I don't want to flood our
00:36:31.960
country with radically different ethnic and linguistic and cultural and religious enclaves
00:36:37.400
that remain totally to themselves. I would like to not do that from the beginning. But if you're
00:36:44.540
going to do that, in some ways, I want the police patch to be in Arabic, because that honestly
00:36:49.100
displays the problem. To keep the patch in English, totally in English, is a lie.
00:36:56.160
It's trying to paper over the problem. We are flooding the country with alien cultures that
00:37:01.820
don't assimilate. So show that to people. The media do a good job with propaganda of pretending that
00:37:10.980
it's all just hunky-dory and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Then every so often,
00:37:16.440
you get a video like the Irina Zarutska video. You say, oh, yikes, man, crime really is a problem.
00:37:21.860
We don't live in a society where, as we heard during the year of our Floyd, where racist white
00:37:28.980
cops are just going around trying to lynch innocent black men. That just doesn't happen. That never
00:37:34.440
happens, ever. It's not real. The reality of crime is very different. And so when you see that,
00:37:42.020
it shifts your perception. That's what the patch does. I'm pro-Arabic patch. First, I'm pro not
00:37:49.360
having these enclaves in the first place. Second, I'm pro radical assimilation with radically
00:37:56.320
restricted immigration. But third, if the first two options are not going to work out, third,
00:38:01.800
yeah, show me the problem in all honesty. Okay. Speaking of Arabs, I mentioned at the top of the
00:38:07.520
state of Israel has blown up another country. In this case, it would be Qatar. Qatar, which has
00:38:14.740
hosted for many years, the leadership of Hamas. Hamas, which has sworn to the destruction of Israel.
00:38:21.380
And you say, well, all right, Qatar gets what they have coming to them. Except that it's actually
00:38:25.980
useful, not only to the state of Israel, but to the rest of the world, to have Qatar as this
00:38:32.000
diplomatic outpost that allows for negotiations. And more important from my perspective, Qatar is a
00:38:38.460
good U.S. ally. So we don't like it when Qatar gets blown up. The official story we're hearing is
00:38:46.180
that Israel just launches this attack on Hamas in Qatar and says, hey, sorry, Qatar, we like you
00:38:55.240
well enough, but we're going to blow up Hamas here. The U.S. didn't know about it. The U.S. was
00:38:59.560
shot. Qatar didn't know about it. This is just that B.B. Netanyahu blowing stuff up again whenever
00:39:04.360
he wants to willy nilly without any consequences. Here is the White House, in the words of the
00:39:09.440
Press Secretary Carolina Leavitt, explaining what happened. This morning, the Trump administration
00:39:15.040
was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, which very
00:39:20.860
unfortunately was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar,
00:39:28.120
a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard in bravely taking
00:39:34.180
risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals. However, eliminating
00:39:40.460
Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal. President Trump
00:39:46.660
immediately directed Special Envoy Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did.
00:39:53.000
The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States and feels very badly
00:39:59.040
about the location of this attack. President Trump wants all of the hostages in Gaza and the bodies of
00:40:06.720
the dead released in this war to end now. President Trump also spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu after
00:40:13.920
the attack. The prime minister told President Trump that he wants to make peace and quickly.
00:40:19.280
This is a fascinating statement. Very, very well done by Caroline Levitt. She is reading almost verbatim
00:40:27.900
President Trump's post on Truth Social. Her version's a little bit more polished, obviously,
00:40:33.600
but like the Truth Social post, so balanced. This is a very strange statement. We could do a whole show
00:40:40.420
on this statement, but we don't have time. We have two minutes. They open up, they say,
00:40:46.200
Netanyahu went rogue and blew up this place in Qatar and gave us a slight heads up, but that was it.
00:40:53.940
So Netanyahu, come on, Netanyahu. And this is really bad, and the president feels terrible
00:40:58.220
that Qatar had to deal with this. Feels terrible about the location of this. But it's good that they
00:41:05.740
blew up some of these Hamas guys. And we need peace. And Bibi, with gunpowder still on his fingers,
00:41:13.580
says that this is a great moment for peace. And President Trump believes this is going to
00:41:17.880
help us secure peace. But attacking Qatar was not a way to advance peace. But this will advance peace.
00:41:25.300
But Trump was asked if he had advance notice. Here's what he said.
00:41:31.140
But we are not thrilled about the way that went down today.
00:41:35.980
We don't provide you in advance, Mr. President, but this will tell you in advance.
00:41:43.220
I'm never surprised by anything, especially when it comes to the Middle East.
00:41:49.180
I'll be giving a full statement tomorrow, but I would tell you this. I was very unhappy about it.
00:41:55.980
I'm very unhappy about every aspect. And we got to get the hostages back. But I was very
00:42:04.400
Okay, so were you given advance notice? No. Were you surprised? I'm not surprised about anything.
00:42:11.340
People are saying this is a contradiction. It's not a contradiction. He's saying expect the
00:42:15.200
unexpected, especially when it comes to the Middle East. I'm not surprised by anything.
00:42:18.320
These days, are you kidding me? They tried to imprison me four times, kick me off a ballot,
00:42:21.500
shoot me in the head. I'm not surprised by anything, especially when it comes to the Middle East.
00:42:25.040
There's no contradiction there. It makes perfect sense. He says he was not given advance warning,
00:42:29.960
and he's not happy with how it went down. He's not happy with how it went down. Notice a lot of
00:42:37.080
the expressions of regret here are just, it's about the location. It's, I don't like, I'm not thrilled
00:42:41.860
about that. I would have preferred what? You weren't given advance notice. Well, hold on.
00:42:47.680
I just can't help but notice. This attack occurred yesterday. Two days prior to that,
00:42:55.760
President Trump posts on Truth Social. Early in the day, two days prior to that.
00:43:00.340
Everyone wants the hostages home. Everyone wants this war to end. The Israelis have accepted my
00:43:03.900
terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I've warned Hamas about the consequences of not
00:43:07.720
accepting. This is my last warning. There will not be another one. Thank you for your attention to this
00:43:11.020
matter. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, all caps.
00:43:14.120
The White House then reposts that. Says, this is my last warning. There will not be another one,
00:43:18.760
President Donald J. Trump. And then two days later, he posts that. One day later, nothing happens.
00:43:27.280
One day after that, just coincidentally, the Israelis hit Hamas in Qatar.
00:43:35.820
Hmm. Just, I can't help but notice that coincidence.
00:43:39.480
The United States didn't have any heads up. Well, no, the United military got some heads up,
00:43:46.040
at least, the President acknowledges. Did Qatar get a heads up? You can't be disrespecting a U.S.
00:43:54.420
ally. Qatar condemns the cowardly attack. Shocked and condemning the cowardly. And yet,
00:44:01.220
I'm a little skeptical of that too. You know why? You know why? Because what people are saying is,
00:44:06.140
well, hold on, Trump said, and look, this is plausible, I guess, that Trump said that Hamas
00:44:11.080
needs to accept his ceasefire terms. Israel already accepted. Hamas hasn't accepted,
00:44:15.780
and they need to accept. And just as Hamas was meeting to accept the terms,
00:44:20.060
Netanyahu wanted to blow up the peace process by blowing up Hamas. And so he was undermining the
00:44:24.940
peace process. Maybe, could be, could be. Netanyahu is a tough guy. So yeah, maybe,
00:44:31.680
maybe he was doing that. And Israel doesn't always act in U.S. interests. Sometimes it acts
00:44:35.360
against U.S. interests. So yeah, maybe, could be, could be. But maybe not. Trump says there will
00:44:43.880
not be another warning. The attack takes place in Qatar. I also can't help but notice
00:44:48.560
that when Trump said, here are the terms, the Associated Press reported a senior Hamas official
00:44:56.660
called it a, quote, humiliating surrender document. But they said they would discuss the proposal in
00:45:01.640
respond within days. A humiliating surrender document? Does that sound like the kind of
00:45:08.800
language coming from someone who's about to accept a ceasefire proposal? Does that sound like someone
00:45:12.300
who's really going to be negotiating in good faith? I don't, I don't think so. Hamas has had two years
00:45:17.800
to release the hostages. They haven't done it. I think Trump's tired of it. So were they really
00:45:23.200
negotiating? I'm not so sure about that. Also because, can't help but notice, just about a month ago,
00:45:29.900
about five weeks ago, the Arab League, including Qatar, for the first time ever, condemned the
00:45:38.780
October 7th attack from two years ago. But more importantly, called on Hamas to disarm and
00:45:44.980
relinquish power in the Gaza Strip to end the war in the territory. That was one month ago.
00:45:50.320
So now I think people are reacting to this attack on Hamas in Qatar without being familiar with the
00:46:00.520
drama that the performance that goes along with geopolitics. Trump says, oh, I feel very badly
00:46:07.640
about this because we love Qatar. But it's good that Hamas has been somewhat destroyed. But this is
00:46:12.920
very bad. And Netanyahu totally didn't tell me. And then Qatar says, this is cowardly and terrible.
00:46:19.820
And I condemn the cowardly attack of Israel, but I'm not going to knock the United States for this.
00:46:24.520
And I'm not, and I'm just going to, and I condemn this. And I totally didn't know about it.
00:46:31.780
And then Israel says, hey, we totally acted alone here. And we, but I'm looking about what's going on
00:46:36.840
behind the scenes. You get Trump signaling two days prior that this isn't going to work out well
00:46:42.540
for Hamas. And you get Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Egypt and all these other Arab and Muslim states
00:46:50.700
one month ago saying, Hamas, you have lost our support. Hamas, we have a vote of no confidence
00:46:57.200
in you. You're done in the Gaza Strip. That's the Arab saying it. That's not the Jews. And it's not
00:47:02.800
the Americans. That's the Arabs saying that. To me, if you're paying attention, not to the big
00:47:09.060
sensationalist headlines and the explosions, but just to the diplomacy that's going on behind the
00:47:13.400
scenes, you could have predicted this attack a month ago. Because they're saying, yeah, Hamas,
00:47:19.200
you're done. You have to disarm. Is Hamas going to disarm willingly? No. So if you're Qatar,
00:47:25.300
at this point, Hamas is just a problem for you. Previously, Hamas had some political power and
00:47:30.960
Qatar was the center of diplomacy. But once Qatar votes and says, you're done. And once the United
00:47:36.200
States says, yeah, you're done. Was anybody really surprised by that attack yesterday?
00:47:44.200
I need the war to end. The war needs to end. The war needs to end for the Palestinians. The war needs
00:47:50.140
to end for American conservatives who are being split over this war. The war needs to end for Israel.
00:47:57.900
Frankly, Israel is just losing support dramatically, including among its last political supporter on
00:48:05.100
the international stage, the last strongest supporter, which is the American right, which is
00:48:09.680
now barely supporting Israel or slightly below in support for Israel. So it's bad for the only people
00:48:15.560
who are benefiting from the war continuing are American Democrats. It's the American left, which
00:48:20.620
can use this as a cudgel to smack Trump. So the war has got to end. And if that means pressuring
00:48:25.520
Netanyahu, then you've got to pressure Netanyahu. And if it means pressuring Hamas, what's left of
00:48:30.980
Hamas, you've got to pressure Hamas. But the war has to end. It's very bad for the people who are
00:48:37.320
actually in the Holy Land. But it's also very bad for us. And so it has to end. But something tells me
00:48:45.580
that what happened yesterday is part of that ending, orchestrated not just by the Israelis, but
00:48:50.980
maybe in a little dance between the Israelis, the Americans, and even the Arabs. Okay.
