00:00:00.000 A leftist woman obstructed federal immigration enforcement, then hit an officer with her SUV,
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
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
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,
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
00:05:59.200 to the beginning. There we go. She backs up. There it is. Pause it right there. The woman backs up.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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
00:14:27.160 in a second. First, I want to tell you about Pure Talk. Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles. If your credit

00:15:38.260 on the woman who's dead side, on the side of illegal aliens and criminal cartels against law
00:15:42.500 enforcement. She goes on CNN. She says, this woman, she was peaceful. She was obstructing law
00:15:48.260 enforcement. That's what she was there. She was there to park her SUV in the middle of the street,
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
00:20:45.020 shouldn't be here. To protect criminal Venezuelans who came across with Trende Aragua. To protect face
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
00:40:35.920 She wouldn't be dead if she hadn't first gone out and blocked traffic and impeded law enforcement
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
00:40:53.320 party didn't encourage her to do the sorts of things that force law enforcement officers to shoot you.
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
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
00:42:14.000 homeownership is white supremacy, and we need to take stuff away from middle-class whites.
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
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
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,
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
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.
00:46:18.240 Lillian Bonsignor is a career first responder. In just nine days, she'll be running the world's
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
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,
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,
00:48:07.540 if we have to have lady fireman, I guess I would prefer a lesbian to some like dainty little
00:48:13.580 waifish lady. You know, obviously, but still, I don't think being a lesbian imbues you with some
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.
00:50:37.640 Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty.
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.
00:51:59.820 We are on cultural basis aan multiple times.
00:52:01.020 We are on Instagram.
