A leftist woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent after she tried to obstruct law enforcement. Was it her fault? Or was it the agent's fault? And should she have been charged? All of which begs the question: Why did this happen?

00:00:00.000 A leftist woman obstructed federal immigration enforcement, then hit an officer with her SUV, 0.95
00:00:06.400 at which point the federal agent shot her. Now, the Democrat governor of Minnesota,
00:00:11.660 Tim Walz, is calling on the Minnesota National Guard to commit insurrection against the federal
00:00:16.180 government, against which he says his state is at war. Where to begin? The federal agents were
00:00:25.700 entirely in the right. Everyone obstructing law enforcement, from the woman in the SUV all the 0.97
00:00:32.240 way to Governor Walz, are entirely in the wrong. We will get to the video evidence. But even though
00:00:38.240 the woman in the SUV was entirely in the wrong, and even though her death is entirely her own fault,
00:00:45.840 I can't help but feel sorry for her. I can't because this is the inevitable consequence
00:00:53.480 of years and years of Democrat-sanctioned anarchy. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:00.340 The whimsy of history is a sight to behold. You know, in the unfolding of Providence,
00:01:24.720 there are winks. There are hints of irony and levity and comedy, one of which came out of Governor
00:01:31.740 Walz yesterday. Because we've been told for years and years and years that January 6th was the
00:01:39.080 insurrection, which it was. And it was some grannies taking selfies in the Capitol Rotunda 0.99
00:01:44.400 and a Horn Hat guy getting a private tour by police of the Capitol. Not exactly an insurrection.
00:01:50.560 However, one day after January 6th, on January 7th, 2026, Tim Walz literally called for insurrection.
00:02:01.720 He called on Minnesota National Guardsmen to violently oppose federal law enforcement,
00:02:09.300 which is as clear-cut a case of insurrection as there can be. And Walz maybe should be arrested for
00:02:14.600 it. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Policy Genius.

00:03:41.020 An awful scene unfolded. Everyone agrees it's an awful scene, but people can't quite agree on why
00:03:46.340 it was an awful scene. It was this scene in which a lady, a middle-aged, 30-something, 0.99
00:03:53.820 40-something-year-old woman, leftist, I think a member of the LGBT, LMNOP, radical left activist,
00:04:03.000 you know, obstructing law enforcement, but by all appearances, a kind of a bourgeois white lady. 1.00
00:04:09.800 We're not talking about, you know, a member of an Antifa cell or something. We're talking about a
00:04:14.960 bourgeois white lady who was convinced that it was a good idea to go obstruct federal law enforcement 1.00
00:04:20.660 in her SUV, allows things to spin out of control, and she ends up hitting an ICE agent with her car,
00:04:29.220 at which point the ICE agent shoots her, and now she's dead, and it's very sad. It is very sad.
00:04:36.280 But why is it sad? What was the worst part of this? What was the thing that went wrong here?
00:04:42.780 Was the thing that went wrong, as the left contends, and some of the squishes will contend,
00:04:46.940 that the ICE agent defended his own life? That the ICE agent, I'll even, I'll say it in a less charged
00:04:53.680 way than that. Was, was the issue that the ICE agent shot the woman who was obstructing law
00:05:01.220 enforcement? Or was the, the sad part that this lady put herself in this position in the first place? 0.89
00:05:08.240 Well, let's look at the video evidence. We have slow-mo video evidence here. There's one agent who
00:05:13.740 is at the side of this woman's car, at the driver's side door, because this woman had been blocking the 1.00
00:05:20.020 street, obstructing law enforcement, doing something certainly illegal. And so the agents approach her
00:05:25.400 car, and you see the agent there on the side. She starts backing up while the agent is reaching 0.90
00:05:30.320 into her car. And then there's another agent in front of the car, and she drives into him,
00:05:37.440 and he, he shoots her. And this is the contested video. So let's, hold on, go back, go back.
00:05:44.560 So you can see here, let's just look at it almost frame by frame. The, the agent on the side of the
00:05:49.840 car is, is blocking from view the agent in front of the car, but you can kind of see him making out
00:05:54.140 there. Okay. So the woman starts driving. He shoots, go back. I want to see it again. Go all the way back 0.98
00:05:59.200 to the beginning. There we go. She backs up. There it is. Pause it right there. The woman backs up. 1.00
00:06:07.740 So what the opponents of law enforcement are saying, namely the entire left, all the way up
00:06:13.600 to the Democrat mayor and governor, what they're saying is she was trying to get away. She was just
00:06:19.980 backing up to try to get away. However, go back to the very beginning of the video. Go back to the
00:06:25.580 very beginning. Okay. So she's pulling back. Play it. Pulling back. And here she goes. Stop.
00:06:39.020 As she's pulling back, she starts accelerating. As she's accelerating, you can see from the tires,
00:06:46.440 you can see from the car, she is driving straight into this officer. The slow-mo video shows it to you.
00:06:54.000 Now, I guess a rejoinder to that would be, well, things are just happening in the moment. It's very
00:06:59.780 fast. This woman didn't have the clarity of mind, the precision to look at exactly where her tire was. 0.99
00:07:07.760 Yeah, that's true of the officer too. That's true of the officer too. Even if it had been the case that
00:07:13.420 this woman were not driving directly into him, it's not good to get that close. It's not good for 1.00
00:07:20.860 there to be ambiguity for the officer because, and this is the part that the left doesn't seem to
00:07:27.940 understand. Federal law enforcement, law enforcement generally, law enforcement officers
00:07:34.160 have no obligation to let people run them over. I think some on the left really believe, well,
00:07:40.520 no, the officer, look, he needs to wait until the tire marks are up to his chin, and then maybe the
00:07:47.640 officer can shoot. Then maybe he can protect himself. But until, if the tire isn't directly
00:07:53.720 over his nose, with all of the rest of his bones crushed, he has no right. That's not true. That is
00:07:59.980 not true. Law enforcement officers take on a very dangerous job every day. And they, it's a thankless
00:08:06.760 job, and they're not paid all that much relative to other professions. And they do it because it's
00:08:11.560 public service. And it's an essential job. You can't have a country without that. And they are
00:08:16.900 under no obligation to let people run them over. This is even, you know, you hear this from the
00:08:25.320 left a lot. Go back, I'm not done with that video. Go back to that video. You hear this from the left a
00:08:29.240 lot. You hear this from the left. They say, well, why didn't the cop just shoot her in the leg?
00:08:34.200 Why didn't he shoot him in the arm? That's not how it works. Anyone who says that has obviously
00:08:38.900 never handled a firearm, doesn't know anything about a firearm. If you are going to point a
00:08:43.620 deadly weapon at someone and fire, you're going to shoot to kill. You have to do that. That's how
00:08:48.280 it works. It's not a video game. This isn't a movie. That's how real life works. And federal
00:08:54.960 agents have families. Federal agents have kids. Federal agents are the good guys. They're not the
00:09:01.880 ones obstructing law enforcement. They're not the ones harboring criminals. They're not the ones
00:09:06.320 defending cartels and drugs and rapists and murderers. They're the ones protecting the
00:09:11.660 innocent people. And they expose themselves to a lot of violence and they are under no obligation.
00:09:17.900 In fact, they have a responsibility. Part of their job is to shoot people who try to run other people
00:09:23.980 over. That's part of their job. They have to do that. So you see here, play the whole video one more
00:09:29.540 time through. You see, she backs up. There's the agent. There's the agent in front. And she accelerates 0.69
00:09:37.940 into the agent. As she's accelerating into him, he pulls his gun. Then something happens and he fires.
00:09:47.460 And then she drives off. She's dead. Now, take me to the next video. This is the front angle video,
00:09:54.600 which I think clears up all confusion. This is care of ABC five.
00:10:00.820 So you see, it's the same exact scene. It's a woman's blocking law enforcement. And then there
00:10:07.540 it is. And there it is. She hits him. Take it back to the beginning in case you didn't see it.
00:10:13.600 Take it back to the beginning. So the question is not just, was this woman driving at him?
00:10:19.360 Was the angle such that she might have hit him? She hit him. He was hit.
00:10:26.420 If a police officer is hit by a car, if there is a driver who's driving a car who hits a police
00:10:33.020 officer, that officer has not only a right, but a responsibility to stop that person.
00:10:39.820 There is no ambiguity here. No ambiguity at all. Final little piece of evidence from what we have
00:10:47.960 so far. You can see where the shot went through. It went through the windshield. If the argument
00:10:54.720 being made by the opponents of law enforcement, the defenders of the criminal cartels and the illegal
00:11:00.500 aliens, if the argument that's being made is he shot her through the side, he didn't have to,
00:11:06.520 she wasn't coming at him. He wasn't in front of the car. That's a magic bullet then, isn't it?
00:11:14.020 The only way the bullet goes through the windshield is if, there it is, you can see it right there,
00:11:20.060 is if she's driving at him. And if she's driving at him, he has not only a right,
00:11:25.720 but a responsibility to shoot her dead. That's the sad fact. I'm not celebrating that she's dead.
00:11:32.380 It's very sad that she's dead. No man is an island entire unto himself. Each man's death
00:11:36.860 diminishes me. It's very sad that she's dead, but it's right that she's dead.
00:11:43.980 The officer did nothing wrong. And I think the vice president was very clear about this. J.D. Vance
00:11:48.600 posted something or made a comment. Do we have it? Do we have the vice president's comment? I have it on
00:11:54.240 my phone. This is what he said. What he said was, I'm pulling it up here.
00:12:02.200 I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire
00:12:07.040 administration stands behind them. To the radicals assaulting them, doxing them, and threatening them,
00:12:11.240 congratulations, we're going to work even harder to enforce the law. Spot on. Three cheers for J.D.
00:12:16.080 Vance. Absolutely right thing to say. I don't want to see a single Republican counter-signaling this.
00:12:21.900 I don't want to see a single conservative counter-signaling this. I don't want this to
00:12:25.460 be a partisan thing. You can say it's sad that this woman's dead, and it was the right thing to 1.00
00:12:34.700 shoot her. Anyone who counter-signals this, you're not on my team. You're not on my team. You're
00:12:40.800 useless. What was the woman doing? Here's further evidence. Beyond the shot through the windshield, 0.91
00:12:47.300 beyond the video evidence of the car hitting the officer, beyond the tires obviously going into the
00:12:54.400 officer, here are the witnesses who are on the women's side. On CNN, a network that is on the
00:13:01.200 woman's side, admitting that she was obstructing law enforcement. I heard the commotion. I heard
00:13:08.160 whistles, which is a common sign of ice is nearby. And I went out onto my front porch. I didn't even have
00:13:15.720 shoes on. And within 60 seconds, everything had already gone down. But there was an ice convoy
00:13:27.260 that seemed to be stuck. And then there was a protester who was blocking traffic, so they
00:13:34.980 couldn't progress. And she was totally peaceful. And ice, it seemed completely unorganized. They
00:13:45.040 didn't really know what they were doing. They were screaming at her to move, move, move. And then they
00:13:50.420 approached her vehicle aggressively and grabbed, tried to open her door. And then that's when she 0.99
00:13:55.380 got spooked. And she reversed her vehicle to turn her wheels to try to escape. And that's when an ice
00:14:04.220 agent stepped in front of her vehicle and said, stop. And then, I mean, she was already moving.
00:14:08.900 And then point blank shot her through her windshield. Most of what that woman just said
00:14:15.100 wasn't true and was contradicted by what we just saw with our own eyes in slow motion. However,
00:14:20.400 the very argument she's making justifies the cop, the ice agent shooting the woman. We'll get to how

00:15:38.260 on the woman who's dead side, on the side of illegal aliens and criminal cartels against law 1.00
00:15:42.500 enforcement. She goes on CNN. She says, this woman, she was peaceful. She was obstructing law 0.79
00:15:48.260 enforcement. That's what she was there. She was there to park her SUV in the middle of the street, 0.78
00:15:53.040 stop law enforcement from arresting criminals. But she was entirely peaceful. That's not peaceful.
00:15:58.300 And she doesn't know that. The problem is this woman on CNN, probably the CNN host, 0.93
00:16:03.260 and certainly the woman who was killed, they don't know that. But it's not peaceful. When you
00:16:08.540 park your car in the middle of the street, that's an act of violence, or that's an act certainly
00:16:14.360 conducive to violence. Imagine, let's just say the most extreme example. An ambulance is driving by,
00:16:21.420 has to get on the way to the hospital. And he's got a person, he's going to die in three minutes,
00:16:25.880 but the ambulance can't get through because there's a car blocking the street.
00:16:29.620 You are committing an act of violence against that person. Let's say, this is a much more practical
00:16:34.580 analogy. In fact, this is literally what happened. Let's say there were criminals running around,
00:16:40.280 and law enforcement is trying to arrest the criminals to protect the public and uphold
00:16:44.800 the political order. And you have a car parked in the middle of the street. That is an act of
00:16:49.180 violence. That's not peaceful. That's very dangerous. Then this lady says, and the woman was
00:16:57.280 unarmed. I'm pretty sure she was armed. You know how I know that? Because she was driving an SUV. 0.64
00:17:02.600 If you drive an SUV, like not just a car, but a big car into somebody, you're armed. That's a deadly
00:17:12.840 weapon. When you run someone over, that's an act of violence that is going to kill that person most
00:17:19.420 likely. Yeah, she was just there. Look, she was just out there peacefully obstructing law enforcement 1.00
00:17:25.160 and stopping blocking traffic in the middle of the street and trying to run someone over. And then
00:17:29.240 she gets the details wrong where she says, and this woman, she was already driving when an officer 1.00
00:17:35.560 jumped in front of her car. We just saw in slow motion, that's not what happened.
00:17:40.060 But I guess the saddest part to me is how honest she's being. She gets the details wrong,
00:17:46.280 but she's honest. And she honestly, sincerely believes that you can just obstruct law enforcement
00:17:52.740 and block traffic and drive into cops. And that that's totally fine. She really believes that.
00:18:01.300 And I think I know why she believes that, but it's not just her. Well, actually, I can't tell
00:18:04.980 is this lady. There's another witness who is going viral on, on TikTok. And I can't tell if it's the
00:18:11.280 same woman because they look kind of similar because all these, all these people have a certain political
00:18:15.380 persuasion of a certain social, they all kind of look the same. But anyway, here's another witness or
00:18:19.880 maybe the same witness. I don't know, describing the scene. They clearly wanted her out of there
00:18:25.700 because she was the main car leading the protest is my understanding. I talked to another guy who
00:18:32.460 was driving behind her. But she was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was set
00:18:44.200 out to do. And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there. Yeah. So it looked like she was
00:18:50.840 impeding ICE vehicles. Definitely. Yeah. That was her goal. Yeah. Yeah. That was her goal. Her goal
00:18:55.960 was to obstruct law enforcement, which is a crime and to block traffic, which is also against the law.
00:19:01.320 Yeah. That was her goal. And she was very successful at it. 0.72
00:19:03.320 You don't get to do that. And the reason that the woman who's dead and these people who are defending
00:19:13.720 her think that you get to do that is because Democrat politicians allowed people to do that 0.91
00:19:19.820 and even encouraged people to do that. This to me is the political tragedy of the whole thing.
00:19:26.100 You have a Democrat who was justly, entirely justly killed by a law enforcement officer
00:19:33.600 because of what her own politicians encouraged her to do. That's the tragedy of it.
00:19:40.820 The thing that Democrats thought was giving them a lot of political power,
00:19:45.100 namely riotous mobs in the streets, is killing the Democrats now. Now that the Republicans are in
00:19:53.640 power and they're not putting up with it, as they should not put up with it, as they cannot put up
00:19:57.160 with it. That's the political tragedy. If you're this woman, this dead woman, and you don't, I mean, 0.97
00:20:04.560 you're clearly, you have some problems. You're obstructing law enforcement. You're willing to,
00:20:08.660 this woman apparently had children. I think she was a lesbian and she had children with a woman 1.00
00:20:12.960 somehow. I don't know. I'm not going to get into it. That's not exactly pertinent to this story,
00:20:17.860 but you have something resembling a family, at least. You have interests. You have a community.
00:20:22.900 You have things you care about. And you go out there. You commit crimes. You obstruct law
00:20:29.680 enforcement. You drive your car into a cop. What do you think is going to happen? You don't know
00:20:32.780 what's going to happen, I guess. You think you're going to get away with it. You're willing to set
00:20:35.500 risk all those wonderful things that I just described. For what? To protect criminal Somalis who 1.00
00:20:45.020 shouldn't be here. To protect criminal Venezuelans who came across with Trende Aragua. To protect face 0.56
00:20:51.360 tattooed Latin American drug trafficking, human trafficking gangsters. And you're willing to
00:20:57.140 allow your children to grow up without a mother because of that. You're willing to lose your life
00:21:03.680 because of that. It's so profoundly stupid. So profoundly disordered. So profoundly sad.
00:21:12.320 And it's not just her fault. Because if you're this woman and you watched the George Floyd riots
00:21:19.460 and you watched the liberal media excuse them, pretend they didn't really happen, say they were
00:21:25.940 peaceful. You watched Democrat politicians encourage them in many cases, join them in some cases,
00:21:33.040 bail out the rioters. You watched Kamala Harris raise money to bail out the rioters in your state, 0.80
00:21:40.180 in your city. And you watched that, you would certainly come to the conclusion that it's totally
00:21:46.100 fine to block traffic, to obstruct law enforcement, maybe to drive your car into a cop. You would come
00:21:51.960 to that conclusion. And when a new administration came about that actually took the law seriously,
00:21:58.440 when a real law enforcement officer comes out there with real political backing from Washington
00:22:02.840 and does what he's supposed to do and shoots you in the face because of it,
00:22:06.580 you would be shocked. And you would have some right to be shocked because you had been failed
00:22:12.900 by your political leaders for years. You had been scandalized by the anarchy and the lawlessness
00:22:18.600 that the Democrats encouraged. And so I feel bad for you. I feel bad for this woman.
00:22:27.100 Said a prayer for this woman. You should say a prayer for this woman too.
00:22:29.800 You can do all of that and should do all of that while also recognizing that officer did nothing
00:22:40.420 wrong. And had officers been allowed to do their jobs in recent years, not just in Minneapolis with
00:22:49.560 the BLM riots, the Summer of Love, but in Kenosha, Wisconsin, all around the country,
00:22:54.800 had officers been allowed to do their jobs, had the law been enforced in even the most basic of
00:23:01.980 ways, crazy leftists and bourgeois liberal women and everything in between would not have come to 1.00
00:23:12.160 the incorrect conclusion that you're allowed to block traffic and hit officers without consequences.
00:23:18.300 Had BLM not happened and been encouraged by Dems, had all those riots not happened,
00:23:24.800 there's a very good chance that woman would be alive today. That is the consequence of political 0.93
00:23:29.880 scandal. That is the consequence of anarchy lawlessness. Now, she was not the only woman.
00:23:38.360 She was not the only person who was obstructing law enforcement. We'll get to that. And we'll get
00:23:40.880 to Governor Tim Walz literally calling for insurrection. We'll get to all of that in one
00:23:44.740 moment. First, though, I want to tell you about Stash. Go to get.stash.com slash Knowles.

00:25:06.540 Amid these ICE raids, amid the response to this woman being justly killed, you have leftists not
00:25:16.280 learning their lesson at all. And one of them actually trying to grab the weapon of law
00:25:20.920 enforcement. Let's see what happens. Those of you who are only listening, who are not watching right
00:25:35.700 now, some lunatic guy goes up to, I don't know, a National Guardsman, I guess, grabs his weapon,
00:25:43.440 starts scruffling with him a little bit, and then grabs his weapon. And the guy pulls up the weapon,
00:25:50.120 shoots him at the face. Now, lucky for this guy, it was a paintball. It was, I don't know, whatever it
00:25:56.200 was, some kind of color. It looked like the Indian feast of Diwali. Lucky for that guy. Could have just 0.99
00:26:02.440 as easily had been led. And the agent or the guardsman who fired would have been completely
00:26:10.780 justified. You don't get to grab an officer's weapon. Why might one think it's okay to grab the
00:26:18.860 weapon of a National Guardsman or a law enforcement officer? Well, one of the inciting incidents for all
00:26:25.820 of BLM, for all of this leftist anarchy and rioting in recent years, was the Michael Brown case.
00:26:31.980 Where Michael Brown, this young thug who had just robbed a store, goes up, starts taunting a cop,
00:26:37.440 then threatens a cop, then grabs a cop's weapon. Reaches into a car, grabs the cop's weapon,
00:26:41.640 the weapon actually discharges. And still the cop doesn't kill him until he goes away, and then the
00:26:46.420 thug turns around, comes back, and starts charging the cop. And the way that that was rewritten by the
00:26:53.240 media was that poor little child Michael Brown, gentle giant, was executed in cold blood by a
00:26:59.540 racist officer. He did nothing wrong. He had his hands up. He said, don't shoot. All of that
00:27:05.160 completely made up. But if you are one of these guys, if you're one of these leftist activists in
00:27:13.180 the streets, and you learn that you get away with this stuff, first of all, if you're told that law
00:27:20.620 enforcement is evil and racist and terrible, you need to stop them. If you're told by your
00:27:24.860 politicians, going back to Maxine Waters during Trump 1, to say, hey, go out there. If you see
00:27:30.480 these Republicans in the street, you push back on them. You get in their face. You go to their homes.
00:27:34.140 You stop them. You say, you're not welcome here. If you see the Michael Brown case, which helped
00:27:39.680 kick off BLM, and you say, oh yeah, okay, you can go grab a cop's weapon, and you're not at fault if you
00:27:45.960 get shot. You're going to do it. And then sooner or later, you are going to get shot. And it's going
00:27:52.800 to be your fault, but I'm going to feel bad for that person, because I blame the Democrats too.
00:27:59.400 I blame people like Tim Walsh. This is what Tim Walsh had to say about the incident.
00:28:04.460 I don't know what to tell you, and I don't quite know how to respond to the question other than my
00:28:10.740 primary responsibility as governor is the protection of the people of Minnesota. And you
00:28:15.520 can be assured, whether it's the State Patrol or whether it's the National Guard, their deployment
00:28:21.260 is there to protect Minnesotans from whatever it is, if it's an act of nature, if it's a global
00:28:27.260 pandemic, or in this case, if it is a rogue federal agent. I don't know at this time, and I want to be
00:28:35.180 very careful. You want to be very careful? Yes, I'm going to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to
00:28:41.020 declare war on the federal government, but I want to be very careful and cautious here, because I'm
00:28:44.680 a very serious person. I'm a responsible person, unlike that insurrectionist Donald Trump. So because
00:28:49.480 Donald Trump told people to peacefully protest around Washington, D.C. on January 6th, and then told
00:28:54.480 some of the more eccentric ones to go home, because of that, I totally oppose insurrection, unless we are
00:29:01.260 literally calling for troops to oppose the federal government. For those of you who are confused on
00:29:09.920 the matter, maybe a Lib or two who are watching the show right now, Article 6, Clause 2 of the U.S.
00:29:17.060 Constitution, this Constitution, the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance
00:29:20.980 thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States,
00:29:24.300 shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby.
00:29:28.680 anything in the Constitution or laws of any state, to the contrary, notwithstanding.
00:29:34.100 When Tim Walz says the Minnesota National Guard is there to protect people in the event of natural
00:29:38.180 disaster, or chaos, or rioting, or whatever, that's true. When he says, or to protect them
00:29:43.520 from federal agents, that's not true. That is completely untrue. That would violate not merely
00:29:52.020 the law and the American political tradition, that would violate the Constitution, that would violate
00:29:56.860 the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. Either Tim Walz doesn't know anything, which is plausible,
00:30:02.620 or Tim Walz is reckless and a traitor to his country. Either way, there is a strong case to be
00:30:13.400 made that Tim Walz should be arrested for saying this. And I'm not one of these guys who says that
00:30:20.220 we need to round up all of our political opponents. I'm really not, you know, I'm pretty actually
00:30:23.800 moderate, relatively, relative to both the left and the right with my rhetoric, I think.
00:30:30.360 There is a very strong case to be made that Tim Walz should be arrested for saying this.
00:30:36.440 By the way, he doesn't stop there.
00:30:38.040 Well, I said this yesterday, we've never been at war with our federal government.
00:30:45.340 I think in this case, the National Guard is their main mission. They have a dual mission.
00:30:52.400 We've never been at war with our federal government. Tim Walz here,
00:30:56.740 implying, insinuating, pretty much flatly stating that he views Minnesota as being at war with the
00:31:10.000 federal government. It's not quite a firm declaration, but it's about as close as you can get.
00:31:18.760 And he's the governor of Minnesota. He's declaring war on the government of the United States.
00:31:27.240 And he's talking about calling up troops to fight the government of the United States.
00:31:35.040 There is a special irony here, which is that Democrats just guffawed and howled and cheered
00:31:41.280 because a statue of Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest Americans in history,
00:31:46.180 was taken down in the US Capitol and replaced with someone no one's ever heard of.
00:31:51.160 They took, they said, that's right. Now, General Lee, by the way, who was an American patriot,
00:31:55.600 who defended his homeland, but who also helped to bring about peace and reconciliation in America,
00:32:04.080 and who was an American patriot as well. Lee comes down because he was a terrible, awful,
00:32:10.100 evil insurrectionist. You're not allowed to declare war on the government of the United States
00:32:15.560 150 years ago. Sitting Governor Tim Walz, a man who was the most recent Democrat nominee for vice
00:32:23.500 president. He was almost one heartbeat away from becoming the second woman president.
00:32:27.800 Tim Walz, as governor, more or less declares war on the federal government.
00:32:33.400 And then begins to take actions to actually back that up.
00:32:40.200 There actually is a good argument to arrest Tim Walz for a number of reasons, because he was just
00:32:44.840 caught in this fraud scandal. And it looks like he's engaged in a coverup of the fraud scandal with
00:32:48.880 the Somalis and the welfare. But put that aside for a second. Very strong argument to arrest him for 0.99
00:32:55.200 this. And I know that the libs who whine about January 6th are not doing so in any kind of
00:33:02.700 principled stance. That liberals who say you can't question election results after Al Gore held up the
00:33:08.120 election in 2000, probably the most famous example of this, after Hillary Clinton denied her election
00:33:12.520 result, after Stacey Abrams denied her election result. I know that principles play no role. And so
00:33:18.040 I don't even want to say the stupid thing about, could you imagine if the roles were reversed?
00:33:21.180 Could you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? But let's say the libs don't believe in any
00:33:28.180 of these principles. Just as a matter of the law, just as a matter of the constitution,
00:33:34.140 Tim Walz is leading an insurrection, like a literal insurrection against the government of the United
00:33:40.700 States. And I'm not saying that the federal government should arrest him. I'm not, I haven't
00:33:48.240 come to that conclusion. They should strongly consider it, should strongly consider it. Okay.
00:33:54.300 Not just Walz, the mayor of Minneapolis has a less grave, but more preposterous, feckless response.
00:34:04.880 Over the weekend, the United States military carried out a covert operation that captured
00:34:08.280 Venezuelan dictator, Nicolas Maduro and his wife. No American casualties, no leaks. The entire mission
00:34:12.780 was over in just 88 minutes. Want to know how that actually happened? Watch as Mary Margaret
00:34:17.660 Olihan takes you inside the intelligence, the planning, and the execution of a real U.S. military
00:34:22.480 operation carried out under cover of darkness. From months of CIA tracking to cyber operations that
00:34:27.220 shut down power and air defenses, to helicopters delivering elite commandos into a fortified military
00:34:31.360 base. This is not speculation. It's not punditry. It's a minute-by-minute account of how modern warfare
00:34:35.920 actually works. How to take out a dictator in 88 minutes premieres today at 11 a.m. Eastern
00:34:41.280 at dailywire.com. Check it out. For more than 200 years, the United States military has lived by a
00:34:48.660 very simple doctrine. We run the Western Hemisphere. And on January 3rd, the United States military
00:34:57.020 unambiguously reminded the world that they are still in charge.
00:35:04.940 This is Caracas, Venezuela, on the night that elite U.S. special forces team captured Venezuelan
00:35:10.620 dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife in the riskiest operations since SEAL Team 6 killed
00:35:16.220 Osama bin Laden. The mission lasted 88 minutes. It was widely considered flawless. 0.82
00:35:21.260 This was one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might
00:35:28.300 and competence in American history. So, how did they do it?
00:35:37.240 I want to tell you my favorite comment yesterday from Captain Danger 13, who says,
00:35:41.560 I thought the 12 days of Christmas were the days leading up to Christmas this whole time.
00:35:44.900 I think many people think that because our debased secular materialist culture tells you to take
00:35:52.100 down your Christmas decorations at 9 o'clock in the morning on December 26th at the latest on New
00:35:58.040 Year's Day. No. Christmas is a season, baby. It's a season, not just a day. There's the octave of
00:36:06.940 Christmas. There are the 12 days of Christmas up to 12th night. That's where you get the play by
00:36:11.240 William Shakespeare, 12th night. Then that ends with the Feast of the Epiphany. And then,
00:36:17.120 traditionally, you actually keep your decorations up even longer, which is what I'm doing here.
00:36:22.800 That's what I'm doing on my set. February 2nd, baby Candlemas. That's what we're doing.
00:36:28.600 Turning from the governor of Minnesota to the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry. Jacob Fry,
00:36:33.960 who, despite his white complexion, heretofore, I almost exclusively hear him speaking Somali,
00:36:42.280 he had this to say about the incident.
00:36:47.080 To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create
00:36:53.440 some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite. Somebody is dead.
00:36:58.200 Oh, okay. Let me, I always, I don't only want to say negative things. So let me, I always, you know,
00:37:05.580 you want to start out, you want to say the nicest thing you possibly can. And I guess the nicest thing
00:37:09.620 I can possibly say about Jacob Fry is, he speaks English. Hey, that was a surprise, wasn't it?
00:37:16.620 Apparently, the mayor of Minneapolis actually speaks English. Because when I saw he held this
00:37:21.700 press conference, I expected him to come out and say, but he didn't say that. What he said was
00:37:34.280 actually even more embarrassing and degrading for our country. Because you know why, actually,
00:37:40.900 it's not even just the vulgarity. It's because it was so millennial coded. Get the F out of here. 0.76
00:37:47.160 Oh, you can tell I'm really serious because I said the F word.
00:37:54.980 Come on. It's that wine, the tone. That wine. Oh, get out. I'm serious. I'm not joking around
00:38:01.820 anymore, man. I'm Jacob Fry. I'm the mayor of Minneapolis. Sorry, sorry. I know I was supposed
00:38:09.420 to speak English for this. Get the F out. Come on. Chris Murphy did this. He's the Democrat
00:38:15.400 senator from California. Or sorry, from Connecticut. And he did this one day. He takes a picture of
00:38:20.200 videos. Sleeves rolled up. Ties loosened. He says, I had a really bad effing day. It's so effing bad.
00:38:26.920 Oh, he's serious. He said the F word. Oh, he must be. And he's whining. Wow. He's so raw and sensitive
00:38:36.240 and emotional. It's rough because I'm a millennial, you know, and I don't want to just. I have an
00:38:44.380 appropriate love of my generation as I have an appropriate love of my own because we, but I have
00:38:47.920 to be honest here. And Jacob Fry, he's an elder millennial. He's on the border of Gen X and millennial.
00:38:53.260 But this is so gay and lame. And so I'm not, and I don't mean, you know, I'm not saying LGBT or I'm 1.00
00:39:00.400 talking like in the middle school sense, it's like so gay and lame. Oh, get the F out. Get the F out 1.00
00:39:07.380 right now. You think you're the mayor of Minneapolis, buddy. First of all, you have no control over your
00:39:13.300 city at all. Your city is frequently on fire and it's run by Somali gangs who are sending money to 1.00
00:39:18.000 Al-Shabaab. So you, you're not even really the mayor of Minneapolis. What you are certainly not
00:39:24.580 is the secretary of the department of Homeland Security or the president of the United States.
00:39:31.200 You're nobody. You're not even allowed to speak your own language most of the time.
00:39:36.760 That's how impotent you are. And you seem impotent when you speak this way.
00:39:41.120 Get the F out. I'm serious, man. This is, this is the consequence of a generation raised on
00:39:50.820 Jon Stewart and Jon, especially Jon Oliver. At least Jon Stewart's pretty funny. Sometimes
00:39:56.280 Stephen Colbert can be funny when he wants to be, which is not recently. But
00:39:59.580 Jon Oliver, Jon Oliver is the perfect example of this. Because Jon Oliver is completely untalented,
00:40:06.360 has never had a thoughtful or funny thing to say ever once in his life.
00:40:09.300 But he, he seems like he's funny because he has a funny accent and he says the F word. 0.98
00:40:17.100 And that is the substitute for jokes or thoughts or points. And that's it. That's what Mayor Frye's
00:40:23.580 doing here. And then, okay, what is the point he's trying to make? He goes, someone's dead.
00:40:27.700 Yep. Yeah. That person wouldn't be dead if she hadn't driven her SUV into a law enforcement officer. 0.83
00:40:35.920 She wouldn't be dead if she hadn't first gone out and blocked traffic and impeded law enforcement 0.91
00:40:43.020 from arresting criminals. She wouldn't be dead if you would just do your job and stop protecting the
00:40:48.480 criminals. She wouldn't be dead if you didn't encourage her, if you and your whole political 0.61
00:40:53.320 party didn't encourage her to do the sorts of things that force law enforcement officers to shoot you. 1.00
00:40:59.120 Yeah. She is dead. And the fact that she's dead, and the fact that the federal government,
00:41:08.340 at least based on the vice president's excellent statement, I think is entirely backing DHS here,
00:41:13.920 as they should. The fact that that happened, it's very sad for her and for her family.
00:41:20.840 But it is very good for the political order, because among other goods that will come of this,
00:41:29.260 I think fewer people are going to do this in the future. If the line is held here,
00:41:33.680 fewer people are going to do these stupid things in the future, and fewer people are going to be in
00:41:37.480 the kind of position where cops have to shoot them. Speaking of mayors, let's turn to New York.
00:41:45.220 Speaking of mayors and millennial politicians crying, let's turn to New York. You know that
00:41:50.800 tenant director in New York that we talked about her on the show, Sia Weaver? She's this young white 0.99
00:41:57.540 woman, not really that young, 36, 37 years old. I think of myself as young, but we're not, you know,
00:42:03.160 we're mid-30s. We're not really young anymore. This woman, Sia Weaver, she went viral because she said
00:42:09.480 she wants to take private property away from people, but especially white people. And she says that 0.86
00:42:14.000 homeownership is white supremacy, and we need to take stuff away from middle-class whites. 0.85
00:42:20.080 She, in fact, here, I don't want to put words in her mouth. She said, homeownership is a weapon of
00:42:25.100 white supremacy. Homeownership is racist. She encourages people to impoverish the white middle 0.99
00:42:31.280 class. She said there's no such thing as a good gentrifier, only people who are actively working on
00:42:37.220 projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren't. And she's called on people to
00:42:41.880 seize private property. As a result of that, she is now a woman who has a political office who not
00:42:51.400 only says stupid things on Twitter, but actually can affect her very evil designs. This woman is now 1.00
00:42:58.620 being approached by the media as she approaches her parents' home, her parents' home, which is
00:43:03.900 apparently worth almost a million and a half dollars. And by the way, that's not even the punchline.
00:43:12.420 As she is approaching her parents' home, which is worth a million and a half dollars, I guess,
00:43:17.400 or maybe even as she's approaching her own home, being asked about her parents' home,
00:43:20.220 which is a million and a half dollars. I don't know exactly where this photo was taken.
00:43:22.600 She's sobbing. She's crying. Why are you, why are you asking? First of all,
00:43:31.640 why, why are you asking me a prominent politician in a city questions is kind of silly for, especially
00:43:40.080 for a left-wing politician who says that, you know, we need total transparency and all this.
00:43:44.540 The idea that you would whine and cry when the media ask you pertinent questions is kind of funny.
00:43:49.900 But then, next, the fact that she's in her mid-30s, this is not like an 18-year-old girl.
00:43:56.240 She's 36 or 37. You can't handle questions from the media. You're in politics. You're a grown woman.
00:44:00.900 Lady, go home. Go home. Leave politics to the adults. But the funniest part of it all is the house.
00:44:12.040 Her parents have a million and a half dollar house. Her parents are white. They own homes.
00:44:19.900 They own a pretty nice home.
00:44:24.140 You know, I hate to say I told you so, but I've said for many, many years that all of liberalism boils
00:44:27.980 down to three words, screw you, dad. In this case, that has been so affirmed, so totally vindicated.
00:44:36.900 The people that this woman seems to have a singular focus on screwing over in politics, 1.00
00:44:46.240 upper middle class, relatively affluent white homeowners, is her parents. It is specifically her parents.
00:44:53.860 It's Jacob Frey. This is, mm, mm, mm, mm. F you, dad. And Jacob Frey also in the emotional
00:45:04.500 dysregulation, even answering the media. These people, who do you mean these people? When I'm
00:45:10.360 talking about these people, I'm talking about these, in some cases, actual communists or socialists or just
00:45:17.200 political leftist radicals who encourage anarchy in the streets and the expropriation of property
00:45:22.980 and the attacks on federal law enforcement and all these kinds of people are emotionally
00:45:31.320 and intellectually very disordered. Obviously, emotionally, you see it from the picture.
00:45:38.040 And then intellectually as well. Because they say that good is bad and up is down and right is wrong.
00:45:46.260 Not, not good. And she's not the only person under fire in the Momdani administration.
00:45:52.640 This is the story. I'm going to tease the story every day for the rest of the existence of my show.
00:45:58.020 I want to get to Momdani's lesbian fire chief. Can I get to, you know what? I'm just going to do it 0.87
00:46:03.820 because I've been teasing it every day. And there's other stuff I want to talk about too.
00:46:06.440 President Trump banning institutional investors from buying single family homes. That's really,
00:46:10.480 really great. But you know what? I'm not teasing it anymore. Hey, give me Momdani's lesbian fire chief. 1.00
00:46:18.240 Lillian Bonsignor is a career first responder. In just nine days, she'll be running the world's 0.53
00:46:24.220 busiest fire department, one of the most important appointments of the incoming administration.
00:46:30.060 And they deserve a leader who cares about their work because she did it herself,
00:46:34.420 who understands every detail and will fight tirelessly to empower FDNY and make it the best
00:46:41.580 firefighting force in the world. Lillian Bonsignor began her career as an EMT in 1991 0.98
00:46:47.580 and was ultimately promoted to chief of the city's EMS division, where she served for three years
00:46:53.600 before retiring in 2022. Although she never served as a firefighter, she's confident that won't matter.
00:47:01.320 Bonsignor is a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community, who will serve as the FDNY's first openly gay commissioner.
00:47:08.740 What an amazing segment. What an amazing segment. I wonder, was this local news segment put together by,
00:47:18.740 was it any of my producers? Mr. Davies, did we put this together?
00:47:22.380 I don't think I could do anything that good.
00:47:24.400 You couldn't, you know, you couldn't. It's like, it's too trollish. It's too on the nose.
00:47:28.740 Was this, was it anyone at Daily Wire, Blaze, Fox News? No, it wasn't. They actually say,
00:47:38.880 this woman, she had this job that isn't being a firefighter, and she did that. That's actually, 1.00
00:47:43.940 you know, being an EMT, that's a really great public service. It's wonderful. People should
00:47:47.400 be applauded for doing that. But she wasn't a fireman at all. Those are different things.
00:47:52.620 So she was, she did this other job, and she's never been a fireman. But, and then immediately
00:47:57.480 afterward, they go, she's never been a fireman and has absolutely no experience with this
00:48:00.460 whatsoever. But she is a lesbian. Well, I guess if a lady is going to be a fireman, 1.00
00:48:07.540 if we have to have lady fireman, I guess I would prefer a lesbian to some like dainty little 1.00
00:48:13.580 waifish lady. You know, obviously, but still, I don't think being a lesbian imbues you with some 1.00
00:48:23.480 kind of, I don't know, osmotic knowledge of how to put out fires, or even how to get cats out of
00:48:30.540 trees. I don't, there are like a hundred, I'm just going to pause it here. There are like a hundred
00:48:38.380 thousand jokes one could make about this whole situation. And I'm not going to make that,
00:48:42.300 I'm just going to point out, New York is screwed. Every single sign that we are getting out of the
00:48:50.920 Mamdani administration. It's just, this is going to be even worse than you thought it was. Okay.
00:48:56.400 All right. Happy New Year. Today's Theology Thursday. The rest of the show continues now.

00:49:19.200 All of this is an illusion, an echo of a voice that has died.
00:49:25.960 And soon that echo will cease.
00:49:27.440 They say that Merlin is mad.
00:49:45.660 They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of lost Atlantis.
00:49:51.860 They say the future and the past are known to him.
00:49:57.680 That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.
00:50:01.440 That the magic of the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command.
00:50:07.620 They say he slew hundreds.
00:50:11.180 Hundreds, do you hear?
00:50:13.000 That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
00:50:16.000 The Merlin died long before you and I were born.
00:50:25.260 Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.
00:50:31.160 Vortigin is gone.
00:50:32.960 Rome is gone.
00:50:34.820 The Saxon is here. 0.76
00:50:37.640 Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty. 0.99
00:50:42.120 And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
00:50:45.080 And he will have it.
00:50:48.200 If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him, here is your hope.
00:50:54.640 A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand.
00:50:58.520 A high king.
00:50:59.680 He will be the wonder of the world.
00:51:02.600 You.
00:51:04.960 To a future of peace.
00:51:09.460 There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
00:51:12.460 Men of the Island of the Mighty.
00:51:15.580 You stand together.
00:51:18.300 You stand as Britons.
00:51:21.460 You stand as one.
00:51:22.920 A great darkness is falling upon this land.
00:51:27.800 These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
00:51:33.920 Not our only hope.
00:51:36.760 They say Merlin slew 70 men with his own hands.
00:51:40.900 And Gathay, he slew 500.
00:51:45.080 No man is capable of such a thing.
00:51:48.020 No mortal man.
00:51:49.320 No.
00:51:50.620 Oh, it's not your fault.
00:51:50.660 I don't know.
00:51:51.180 No moral man.
00:51:52.260 baby, you should say Merlin slew 500.
00:51:52.940 I can do it.
00:51:53.580 No not let you do it.
00:51:54.140 No thanks to Merlin.
00:51:54.900 Perfect.
00:51:55.420 While you are here, it's our Anna.
00:51:56.060 No humans is a one.
00:51:57.200 He is a destination.
00:51:57.760 Yes we are.
00:51:59.340 Pre面.
