The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1811 - Libs Demand ‘Sympathy For The Stabbers’ After Charlotte Train Murder

00:00:00.000 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

00:00:42.500 Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:58.500 Welcome back to the show. Israel has blown up another country this time. I shouldn't laugh 1.00

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. 0.99

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,

00:03:05.600 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 0.95

00:03:19.700 I think said something about got that white girl or got that white woman? I think we heard that was 0.98

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 0.99

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.91

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. 0.99

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 0.88

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 0.96

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 0.93

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 1.00

00:18:00.540 supposed to be here. Foreign nationals who are here illegally. And the left says you're not allowed 1.00

00:18:07.120 to consider whether or not they're foreign. You're not allowed to consider whether or not they look 1.00

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, 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.64

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 0.94

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:21:31.740 country. There's going to be an Irina Zarutska in the news every single day because we're going to 0.97

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

00:24:15.400 to say.

00:24:19.000 When you say that, darling, that's fake news.

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. 0.68

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, 0.78

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 0.99

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.97

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, 1.00

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. 1.00

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, 0.81

00:36:03.380 and we expect them to assimilate. Yeah, but they haven't. Even if they do within five generations, 0.84

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. 0.79

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.97

00:37:28.980 cops are just going around trying to lynch innocent black men. That just doesn't happen. That never 0.97

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:38:07.520 state of Israel has blown up another country. In this case, it would be Qatar. Qatar, which has 0.85

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 0.92

00:38:25.980 useful, not only to the state of Israel, but to the rest of the world, to have Qatar as this 0.62

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 0.95

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 0.83

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 1.00

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, 0.87

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. 0.77

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.

00:41:40.500 So you were caught by surprise, sir?

00:41:43.220 I'm never surprised by anything, especially when it comes to the Middle East. 0.95

00:41:47.120 How much are you worried about this now?

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

00:42:02.060 unhappy about the way that went down.

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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 1.00

00:43:03.900 terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I've warned Hamas about the consequences of not 0.96

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, 0.73

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 0.83

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. 0.97

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 0.99

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, 0.97

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 1.00

00:47:50.140 to end for American conservatives who are being split over this war. The war needs to end for Israel. 0.86

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 0.87

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 0.59

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. 0.73
