Summary
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?
Transcript
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

00:15:38.260
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

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.
00:30:38.040
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,
00:36:47.080
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.
00:44:24.140
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?
00:47:24.400
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.

All of this is an illusion, an echo of a voice that has died.
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.
00:50:13.000
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.
00:50:37.640
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.
00:50:48.200
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.
00:51:09.460
There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
00:51:27.800
These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
00:51:36.760
They say Merlin slew 70 men with his own hands.
