More details come out about the woman who was killed trying to run over an ICE agent
00:00:04.060
in Minneapolis. The protests about it are spreading to cities coast to coast
00:00:08.560
as leftists call for the murder of more ICE agents, as well as the murder of DHS Secretary
00:00:14.920
Kristi Noem. And it feels like deja vu all over again, doesn't it? They say history doesn't
00:00:22.500
repeat itself, but it does rhyme. And there are winks of providence here because there's
00:00:26.660
meaning imbued in all of history. And in this case, we're looking at leftists committing
00:00:33.140
violence over a false narrative peddled by the media following an officer-involved killing
00:00:39.700
in Minneapolis. It's even the same city as George Floyd five years later. But in this case,
00:00:47.760
especially following a remarkable press conference from Vice President J.D. Vance, which we'll
00:00:52.020
get to. In this case, public officials have the opportunity to avoid, to correct all of
00:00:59.380
the mistakes that they made in the year of our Floyd five years ago. I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:19.220
Welcome back to the show. We are now getting direct threats to kill ICE officers. And what
00:01:30.600
the Trump administration does next really, really matters. Also, speaking of radicalization,
00:01:34.780
the United Arab Emirates are now cutting off funding for their own students to go study in
00:01:40.200
the United Kingdom because they're afraid that the UAE Arabs might be radicalized in Britain.
00:01:49.480
They might be lured into radical Islam in Britain. We'll get to that. Radicalization everywhere.
00:01:56.140

00:03:22.620
We got new footage from the SUV incident, the shooting in Minneapolis. We covered two or
00:03:30.140
three angles yesterday on the show. Now we even have clearer evidence. This is from the
00:03:39.620
As the vehicle passes, you can see the dark-colored SUV driven by Renee Nicole Gooden.
00:03:45.380
That's on the right there in the back. You have the officer in front of the SUV.
00:03:48.260
This is a surveillance video taken by a home nearby. Agents can be seen milling about near
00:03:52.360
the vehicle, then converging on it. There's the officer in front, and there you go. So this is
00:03:56.680
the false narrative that the media are trying to peddle is that the officer was on the side of the
00:04:02.720
car, and he shoots her through the open driver door window. There are many, many libs, like normal
00:04:08.900
libs, like your aunt or somebody, who think that's what happened. That is not what happened.
00:04:13.300
You now have multiple angles from the front, even brought to you by CNN. So it's a liberal news
00:04:20.540
channel showing that the officer is in front of the car. Okay, that's enough CNN. We've had enough
00:04:27.300
CNN. Now we have another angle here. This is from the slow motion footage, but specifically of the
00:04:35.760
wheel of the SUV. So one of the claims, the most ridiculous claim being peddled is that the officer
00:04:43.280
wasn't in front of the car. He was on the side, and he shoots her through the open driver door
00:04:47.200
window. That is just completely made up. There's no, not true at all. In fact, we have the bullet
00:04:52.860
hole through the front windshield. Then the people who admit, okay, yes, there was another officer who
00:04:57.800
was in front of the SUV. The argument they're making is that the woman turned her wheel before she
00:05:03.660
hit the gas. She turned her wheel to try to get out of the way. She wasn't trying to run the guy
00:05:08.420
over. She was trying to get out of the way. And so she turned her wheel before she hit the gas.
00:05:14.620
Some are trying to argue that the officer shot before she hit the gas. That's totally untenable.
00:05:19.920
But this really narrow argument that, which again is kind of immaterial because this is all happening
00:05:26.900
in a split second. So the officer still would have been justified if she starts moving her car,
00:05:30.800
he's in front of it, even if technically the wheel were going the other way.
00:05:34.020
But even that narrative isn't true because we have the slow-mo footage. Here, take a look.
00:05:39.880
So the woman backs up. There you go. There you have it. She backs up,
00:05:45.600
hits the gas directly into the officer, and then turns the wheel. Give it to me again. Hits the gas
00:05:54.700
directly into the officer, and then the wheel turns. In fact, the only reason that she didn't
00:06:01.320
run him over before he could discharge his weapon is because it's Minneapolis. It's winter. There was
00:06:07.220
ice on the ground, and she hit it so fast, the wheel spun. You know this if you've ever tried to
00:06:11.660
accelerate, even on dry roads. Sometimes your wheel spins a little bit before you go.
00:06:15.340
Now, had she had better tires, had the road been less icy, that officer would be smushed.
00:06:23.960
You don't need to conclude from this that this woman set out that morning to go murder an ice
00:06:28.120
officer. You don't have to conclude from this even that in the moment, in this moment where she's
00:06:32.800
clearly got adrenaline pumping, she's excited, she's probably scared, she doesn't know what to do.
00:06:38.600
She's been told that these people are fascists or whatever. I don't know. She has crazy ideology in
00:06:42.020
her head. Regardless, you don't need to think that she consciously said, I'm going to run this guy
00:06:46.980
over. But the one thing you cannot deny is that she hit the gas with her tires pointed in the direction
00:06:57.480
of the officer, would have run him over, and he fires the gun. That is undeniable, even if you're on
00:07:06.800
that woman's side, which you shouldn't be. You can feel sorry for the woman. You can pray for the woman.
00:07:11.180
You should pray, could pray for her family. You should do all of those things. But even if you're
00:07:14.700
on the woman's side, which you should not be, you have to admit, it's right there before your very
00:07:21.320
eyes. Some of this footage is brought to you by CNN, okay? There is no doubt as to the facts.
00:07:30.300
The officer was entirely in the right. This isn't one of these, well, I mean, maybe, you know,
00:07:35.580
I don't know. It's kind of ambiguous. It's not ambiguous. He was entirely in the right.
00:07:39.120
She was entirely in the wrong. You can, and I think you should, feel sad about it. You don't
00:07:47.120
want the woman to die. She was fed a bunch of crazy ideology. She's clearly emotionally unregulated.
00:07:53.780
Every man's death diminishes me because I am part of humanity. You know, no man is an island
00:08:00.020
entire unto himself. All those things. But it's not, the facts are not ambiguous.
00:08:05.000
There's also no doubt what she was up to. She was there to obstruct law enforcement. We now have
00:08:13.320
this thanks to, where is this? The New York Post. Do I have, here we go. New York Post article
00:08:17.980
published yesterday. Woman's name was Renee Nicole Good. Renee Nicole Good was Minneapolis ice watch
00:08:24.500
warrior who trained to resist feds before shooting. So there's another false narrative that the media are
00:08:29.880
telling you, which is that this was just a mother who was out, you know, to pick up her kids or
00:08:34.960
something. And she found herself in a bad situation. That's the most ridiculous narrative that this was
00:08:41.420
an innocent, naive little dove. That's the most ridiculous. Oh, she just happened to find herself
00:08:45.700
there. And these cops unprompted decided to surround her vehicle. The more plausible, but still
00:08:51.700
ridiculous argument is, well, no, she was there to stop the ice officers, but it was just because,
00:08:58.440
you know, she's a good Samaritan protecting the innocent face tattooed gangsters. You know,
00:09:03.940
it's because it just came upon her suddenly. And she had this extemporaneous impulse to stop the
00:09:11.920
police officers. But the reality is a little different from that. She trained to obstruct law
00:09:18.040
enforcement. So I mentioned yesterday, I don't think this woman was an anarchist terrorist or something.
00:09:25.460
I don't think it was like the Antifa guys who showed up to a talk that I was giving at the
00:09:30.220
University of Pittsburgh, having trained with black block cells in anarchist bookshops,
00:09:34.700
throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks and that sort of thing. I don't think she's that.
00:09:40.480
She's also not just a concerned mom or a woman who found herself in a bad situation.
00:09:45.800
She's somewhere in between those two things. She's not, you know, one of these 1920s anarchists
00:09:54.560
setting off bombs on Wall Street. She's not that. But she was actively trying to undermine law
00:10:02.100
enforcement. She was actively opposing law enforcement. She was actively aiding and abetting
00:10:06.300
criminals. And she was operating a very deadly weapon, namely an SUV that she used to nearly run over
00:10:12.880
a cop. She was somewhere in the middle of those two things. And no one wants to admit that kind of
00:10:18.160
ambiguity. No one wants to admit that blurriness. In part, I think the reason people don't want to
00:10:24.580
admit that blurriness is it indicts a lot of our countrymen. I saw this firsthand after Charlie was
00:10:32.000
murdered. This was three, four months ago now. What was so shocking, so scandalous about that was,
00:10:38.100
well, the first thing was the fact that Charlie would be murdered on a university campus for having
00:10:41.960
respectful dialogue with people. That was the first thing that was scandalous. But this very nearly as
00:10:47.560
scandalous was the fact that so many of our fellow Americans would support it, would celebrate it
00:10:52.900
even. Because it means that, like that girl you went to math class with, it means your coworker,
00:11:00.540
it means your classmate, it means your neighbor is much more radical, much more prone to violence,
00:11:08.660
much more supportive of political violence than you would otherwise expect. And it's kind of scary
00:11:13.880
that this woman probably was like a kind of bougie lib, definitely lib, but kind of just bougie
00:11:19.780
Minneapolis white lady. And that she would train and endeavor to obstruct federal law enforcement that
00:11:28.780
you usually don't, we're not used to those two things being together. And yet increasingly,
00:11:35.640
they are. Well, that's what she is. Now, other bougie white ladies who have been trying to obstruct law
00:11:42.620
enforcement, they are concluding from this incident that maybe they shouldn't be doing that. We'll get
00:11:49.000
to that in a moment. One woman went viral on TikTok for it. First, I want to tell you about Brickhouse
00:11:52.200
Nutrition. Go to takelean.com, enter code Knowles. This episode is sponsored by Brickhouse Nutrition. By the
00:11:58.840
time the average person reaches 60, they've likely cycled through numerous fad diets, the juice cleanses,
00:12:04.300
the cabbage soup diet, the raw food regimens, collectively losing and regaining several hundred
00:12:09.620
pounds over the years. You've probably done it without knowing there's a name for it, weight
00:12:13.380
cycling. You lose 10 pounds, you feel great, then you watch them creep back on, plus a few extra.
00:12:17.900
Half of Americans are stuck in this frustrating cycle, and doctors are now seeing it's not just
00:12:22.360
disappointing, it can be dangerous. Truth is, most of us need more than willpower to break free from
00:12:26.580
this pattern. That is where Brickhouse Nutrition's Lean comes in. Unlike those expensive GLP-1
00:12:32.360
injections, Lean is a non-prescription supplement created by doctors specifically for this problem.
00:12:37.560
The science behind it is solid. Lean tackles weight loss three ways that keep it off you.
00:12:43.100
Keeps your blood sugar steady, no more energy crashes that send you back to the snack cabinet.
00:12:47.880
It controls cravings and that constant hungry feeling, and it helps your body convert fat into
00:12:52.140
energy instead of storing it. When your body gets better at burning fat for fuel, that's when you see
00:12:56.340
lasting results instead of temporary losses. I really, really recommend this. Multiple producers and
00:13:02.180
employees at the DW have tried Lean. They're so impressed by how effective Lean has been in a
00:13:06.540
short period of time. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, keep it off. Add Lean to
00:13:10.520
your diet and exercise lifestyle. Get 20% off when you enter Knowles at TakeLean.com. That is code

00:13:23.920
All right, you guys, I just watched the video of the woman in Minneapolis. Don't go watch it,
00:13:33.260
okay, if you don't think you can handle it. It is the most frightening thing I have seen in a long
00:13:41.000
time. This woman was driving away in her car, and they put their weapon in there and hit her in the
00:13:50.860
face multiple times. This is not right. This was not self-defense. This was an execution.
00:14:02.200
I am shocked because only a few weeks ago, I was driving around this town that I live in in Charlotte
00:14:12.480
doing very similar things, looking for ICE agents, trying to prevent them from kidnapping people off
00:14:20.440
the street. And there was a lot of other people out there doing that on a daily basis, as is our
00:14:28.480
right to drive around the streets of our city. It's frightening right now. Okay, the last part is
00:14:37.140
really all that matters. It's frightening right now, because you can tell how confused this woman is.
00:14:41.440
She might be sincere, but she's so confused. She says the woman was trying to drive away.
00:14:45.100
Maybe she was trying to drive, but she wasn't actually driving away. She was driving into a cop.
00:14:49.380
Says this woman was out there. They executed her. They're trying to do one of these Michael Brown
00:14:53.460
hands up, don't shoot lies. But we have all the video footage from all the angles, even on CNN.
00:14:59.440
Okay, we know that wasn't what happened. Then she says, this woman, she was just out there.
00:15:06.280
You know, she was just out there doing what? She was just trying to obstruct federal law enforcement.
00:15:11.480
And then she makes a submission. She goes, the other week I was driving around doing the same
00:15:15.020
thing, as is our right. Maybe she thinks that. But if there's any confusion, all who have ears to
00:15:21.880
hear, let them hear. You don't have a right to obstruct federal law enforcement or local law
00:15:27.160
enforcement, for that matter. You don't have that right. You think you have that right because
00:15:30.900
Democrat politicians have lied to you and have encouraged this and have allowed the anarchy to
00:15:35.640
fester and are largely responsible for that woman being killed. But you don't really have that right.
00:15:42.560
We're going to correct the record now. You don't have that right. And then she says,
00:15:46.220
and it's frightening there right now. Says I was out there doing this. A lot of people were out there
00:15:50.840
doing this. Obviously, a lot of people in Minneapolis were doing this. They were training people to do this.
00:15:55.160
And now we're frightened. Yes, this is the optimal political outcome for this very sad but necessary
00:16:05.580
event. This is the optimal outcome of enforcing the law is all these women who, whether they had
00:16:12.680
bad intentions, whether they are radical anarchists or whether they just don't know anything,
00:16:17.520
they don't know any better. Regardless, when you enforce the law, you frighten the people who break
00:16:24.220
the law and then fewer of them break the law and they do so more reluctantly. That's what we need.
00:16:33.980
What happens when you don't enforce the law is more and more people do this and more and more
00:16:38.160
empty-headed white ladies show up on the street and put themselves in a position where they're going
00:16:42.120
to be justifiably killed by a cop. And they're going to be shocked when it happens. That's what
00:16:47.500
happens when you don't enforce the law. That's one of the many, many injustices, cascading injustices
00:16:52.620
that come about as a result of not enforcing the law. And when you do enforce the law, you scare
00:16:56.920
that bumbling lady straight. I'm trying to be very polite and charitable in my words while still
00:17:03.540
being precise. You scare that lady who has whistles going through the ears, who's maybe not the sharpest
00:17:10.520
tool in the shed, not the brightest crayon in the box. How many more metaphors do I have to mix?
00:17:16.760
You allow people who don't know any better to behave in a better way. Some liberal white ladies
00:17:25.440
don't know how to respond. Here's one in Minnesota talking with an independent journalist.
00:17:30.680
So I mean, I'm just walking around kind of just a day side because I got up. I was like, I don't
00:17:37.800
know if it's the right thing to do. It feels kind of wrong being here in some way. I don't know why.
00:17:42.260
Why do you think? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know like where that stems from. Like I don't,
00:17:53.900
I mean, part of it is being like a white woman that I'm privileged and I have a lot of privilege.
00:17:59.680
Um, so I feel like white tears are not always something that's helpful or necessary. Um,
00:18:06.700
when black and brown people have been experiencing this for a long time, um, this isn't new for them.
00:18:11.900
And so, um, I don't know if that makes any sense in that way. Um, how did you decide that you should
00:18:19.220
be here? Are you still figuring that out? Um, well, I work, uh, like two miles from here. So, um,
00:18:25.800
driving by just, I don't, you know, it was like, I'm here. Um, I'm two miles. I can stop. Um,
00:18:32.580
Oh yeah. First point. Now that I'm watching it, that's one of ours. That's Brecca. That's a good
00:18:37.480
job. Daily wire. That was good. Good. That independent journalist is one of ours. And we
00:18:43.120
are kind of independent media. So I guess it's, we're, we're in that middle gate. 10 years ago,
00:18:46.600
we were totally renegade new media. And then the new media took over because the establishment
00:18:51.460
media fell apart. So a great, great interview from Brecca. That's awesome. Because she's getting
00:18:58.400
this woman to admit something, there is no end to the guilt, to the disordered thinking.
00:19:07.340
She says, I'm out here to mourn someone. I am mourning the death of this woman. I'm at least
00:19:13.940
praying for, I'm not losing sleep at night, but I'm sad. She died. I'm sad for her family. I'm sad for
00:19:18.020
her. And this woman goes out there. She is an ideological compatriot. She supports undermining
00:19:25.640
law enforcement. She supports mass migration. She supports breaking the law. She supports all
00:19:29.940
this stuff. And then she goes, but I don't, I shouldn't be crying for her because white tears
00:19:34.780
are terrible. You know, us white ladies are the worst. The woman who was killed is a white lady.
00:19:39.820
So even breaking the law, trying to run over a cop, getting killed for it on behalf of face-tattooed
00:19:49.280
criminal migrants, even that's not good enough. And white ladies shouldn't cry about it. And by
00:19:56.940
implication, we shouldn't cry for you. Bless her. Bless that white lady in the interview.
00:20:05.120
And bless these poor white ladies who are confused. They, they are not fit for this kind of politics.
00:20:13.460
They need to be guided and educated and led. They're very, I think a lot of them are probably
00:20:20.280
very nice. They have very nice impulses, but they're not being guided in the right. They're not being
00:20:26.200
husbanded. They're not. And so they're going into very bad places, into, into places that cause
00:20:33.820
a lot of injustice. This is that old line that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
00:20:41.280
I bet these white ladies have all the best intentions in the world, and it's leading them to
00:20:45.940
try to run over cops who are trying to deport murderers and rapists and drug traffickers and
00:20:52.320
human traffickers. Not good. Meanwhile, the rest of Minneapolis is threatening to murder
00:21:37.440
Hey, everyone on the sidewalk, cross the street. I just want to make sure you are here on the
00:21:41.840
risk you're taking on right now. We are not allowed to be on that side of the street. If
00:21:47.200
you want to be on that side of the street, we will find you. Okay. So these people who
00:21:51.800
are on camera, they're making direct threats. That is not protected by the First Amendment.
00:21:58.120
That is itself a crime. And the government, the federal government needs to go in and arrest
00:22:04.140
them. It's not just the direct threats. It's not even just happening in Portland, or sorry,
00:22:10.480
in Minneapolis. It's also happening in Portland, by the way. But even in New York City, there is
00:22:14.760
a massive protest in New York City where people are chanting, save a life, kill ICE. That's not
00:22:22.740
a direct threat. That is incitement. That's also a crime. That's also not covered by the First
00:22:28.520
Amendment. What the federal government needs to do here, a little unsolicited advice, is they need
00:22:33.860
to arrest as many of these people as they can. In the case of New York City, there are many,
00:22:38.900
many people at this protest. They're probably not going to arrest all of them. Although I will point out
00:22:42.460
the Biden administration did a good job tracking down every single Midwestern granny who took a
00:22:47.700
selfie at the Capitol on January 6th. So I think the federal resources are there when they want to
00:22:53.200
enforce the law. But if I were in the federal government right now, I would take all these
00:22:59.500
people that we have on camera, and I would arrest as many of them as I possibly could. And I would
00:23:07.060
charge them to the fullest extent of the law for direct threats and for incitement. And the reason
00:23:13.020
I would do this is not just to be a big, tough guy. It's not just because I'm super-duper based
00:23:18.140
or whatever. The reason I would do this would be very practical, very politically realistic.
00:23:24.620
One thesis says that the way you bring the temperature down in the country is you just,
00:23:30.320
you know, you give people a little breathing room. You know, this is what they said during the
00:23:33.380
George Floyd riots. We need to let people vent their frustration. And they're going to burn down
00:23:36.740
a few buildings, but that's just, you know, the riots are just the cries of the unheard.
00:23:41.140
That's a thesis that the left advances that I guess some people on the right believe.
00:23:46.300
I don't think that's true. I think that the way that you bring the temperature down
00:23:51.160
is that you absolutely crush the people who are attempting to destroy the political order.
00:23:57.820
You bring down to the fullest extent possible, the heavy hammer of the law.
00:24:04.080
And you say, no, ain't going to happen. I'm not saying that you pass the bounds of justice,
00:24:08.800
that you pass the bounds of morality. I'm saying that within those bounds, you do exactly what must
00:24:14.320
be done to enforce order in the law. And that is actually what brings the temperature down.
00:24:19.720
You got to see this in psychology. There's some people following Freud who think that the way
00:24:25.400
that you help people is that you let them blow off a little steam. Actually, I'll tell you what,
00:24:30.020
I'll use a really lurid example in a debate within psychology and criminal justice to make the point.
00:24:35.440
There's some people who say that pedophiles should be allowed to look at artificial child pornography,
00:24:43.080
you know, cartoons or something. There've been legal cases on this because it will allow them to vent
00:24:48.420
their frustrations or their passions or whatever without actually harming any children.
00:24:53.680
That's the Freud view, I think, of psychology. That's the steam engine view of psychology.
00:24:58.260
You got to blow off a little steam. The problem with that view is that's not how human nature really
00:25:03.760
works. The way human nature really works is much closer to what Aristotle says. It's much closer to
00:25:08.900
the classical and medieval tradition, which is that people form their desires and their reversions
00:25:16.160
through habit. So the more you do something, the more you want to do it and the less you want to do
00:25:22.420
the opposite. The more that you perform a vice, the more likely you're going to be to perform it.
00:25:29.060
The more you perform a virtue, the more likely you're going to be to perform it. In other words,
00:25:32.940
the more you do stuff, the more you develop an appetite for that stuff. It's like an acquired
00:25:39.000
taste. The first time you drink whiskey or have caviar or something, I don't know. I don't know if I've
00:25:44.260
ever had caviar. Have I? Maybe once or twice. But the more you have something that's kind of weird,
00:25:48.700
coffee. The first time you have coffee, you probably don't like it. But then the more you drink it,
00:25:53.240
you acquire that taste. Then you want it. That's how it goes. Well, take it out of the realm of
00:25:58.400
whiskey and caviar and coffee and pedophilia. Bring it back into the realm of protesting.
00:26:04.040
The more you allow people to get away with this stuff, direct threats, incitement of violence,
00:26:08.400
blocking traffic, blocking law enforcement, even driving their cars into law enforcement,
00:26:12.260
the more of that behavior you're going to get. You're going to accustom people
00:26:15.200
to the behavior and to the idea that it's okay. If you bring the hammer down,
00:26:21.080
like that lady from Charlotte was saying, she says, now I'm terrified to go out and
00:26:24.580
obstruct law enforcement. Now I'm going to think twice. I might still do it, but I'm going to think
00:26:28.060
twice. The more you do that, the more you accustom people to better behavior because the
00:26:33.900
law is a teacher. Okay. The vice president said all of this beautifully. He gave one of the best
00:26:39.860
pressers, certainly I've ever seen from a vice president, but one of the best pressers in this
00:26:43.320
administration thus far. We'll get to that momentarily. First though, I want to tell you

00:28:03.580
The vice president comes out with typical lucidity, moral clarity. Here's his take on Minneapolis.
00:28:12.800
It's why incidents like yesterday happen. The one final point I'll make about this is,
00:28:16.940
look, there's a part of me that feels very, very sad for this woman, not just because she lost her
00:28:23.300
life, but because I think she is a victim of left-wing ideology. What young mother shows up
00:28:29.340
and decides they're going to throw their car in front of ICE officers who are enforcing legitimate
00:28:34.360
law. You've got to be a little brainwashed to get to that point to where you're willing, not just to
00:28:39.540
protest. That's fine. Not peacefully protest, but throw your vehicle in front of legitimate law
00:28:45.900
enforcement officers and drive your car into them. To get to that point, you have to be, I think,
00:28:51.720
radicalized in a very, very sad way. I certainly wish that she hadn't got there. I know there's an ICE
00:28:57.100
officer right now who very much wishes he was not put in the position where he had to fire a gun
00:29:01.640
to defend his own life. Yeah. Spot on, spot on. This is exactly the right tone. We're not saying,
00:29:08.060
ha ha, that evil domestic terrorist woman, she, yeah, we love that she's dead. No, it's sad.
00:29:17.680
It's sad that she was so brainwashed that she, maybe she thought the ICE officers really are the
00:29:24.060
Gestapo. Where'd she get that from? She got it from cable news. They're not. She probably thought
00:29:29.000
that illegal aliens have a right to be in this country. They don't. But she's heard that from
00:29:33.080
all the Democrat balls. She's heard that from everyone who says that illegal aliens are undocumented
00:29:37.500
Americans. Well, if they're Americans, they have a right to be here. They're not Americans. That's the
00:29:40.580
point. She probably thought these people are totally innocent. They're not, they're not,
00:29:45.380
they're not face tattooed gangsters. They don't come across the border with the help of the cartels.
00:29:49.760
They're not defrauding the government there. No, she probably thought they're all just little
00:29:53.760
abuela trying to peacefully make a paella in the kitchen. And then the Gestapo show up. No.
00:30:01.380
She was brainwashed and she betrayed her family. She betrayed her daughter.
00:30:07.380
She did. It's sad. She didn't mean to, like, I don't, but she did to go out there and for so,
00:30:13.540
not just so stupid a cause, but for such an unjust cause to go out there and to leave your kid
00:30:19.480
without a mother. Well, the family is confusing and it's a point for another time.
00:30:26.800
Not, that's bad to do. That's really bad. And so you feel sorry for this woman that her mind would
00:30:32.860
be so scrambled up to get to that point. That doesn't change the fact that it was all wrong.
00:30:40.100
In fact, that should impel you to want to set the record straight, which is what JD does
00:30:45.880
when it comes to the news media. The way that the media by and large has reported this story
00:30:53.360
has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.
00:31:00.200
Everybody who's been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in
00:31:05.080
Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourself.
00:31:09.060
Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing. If you lie, generally, you should be ashamed of yourself
00:31:14.760
because you're committing a mortal sin. If you lie about an event of public interest,
00:31:20.180
you should especially be ashamed of yourself because it causes political scandal.
00:31:24.660
But if you lie about this kind of an issue, you should triply be ashamed of yourself
00:31:31.340
because you are setting the stage for naive and ignorant people to put themselves in harm's way
00:31:40.420
for your lie. And that's what happened. The liberal media, it is not hyperbole to say the liberal media
00:31:47.500
bear a considerable amount of responsibility for that woman's death going back five years,
00:31:54.020
going back 10 years, going back 20 years, maybe. Okay. Speaking of attacks on law enforcement,
00:31:58.160
we turn now to Oregon, where State Senator Casey Jama follows Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry saying that ICE
00:32:07.980
needs to get out of town. Let me say to this federal agencies and ICE.
00:32:15.020
This is Oregon. We do not need you. You're not welcome. And you need to get the hell out of our community.
00:32:32.640
I think the minimum requirement for ordering immigration enforcement around
00:32:39.000
should be speaking English properly. Call me old fashioned. But I think if you're going to order
00:32:47.760
immigration enforcement around, you need to be able to speak the tongue of the country.
00:32:54.280
I want to tell you one thing, sir. Listen to me very much, Christine. You will get the heck out of
00:33:01.600
this town because we true Americans. We will not tolerate the federal government coming in here
00:33:08.540
and enforcing the laws. Do you understand, sir? It's I don't actually don't know what his ethnic
00:33:14.520
background is. I can't quite make it out. Is it South Asian or Africa? I don't know. I don't know what
00:33:20.780
is. In any case, I love I love the Indians. I don't the Pakistani is a little bit. No,
00:33:29.120
there's some great Pakistani, sure. And they're all the Africans to and all. But you know, guys,
00:33:34.920
if you're going to come to this country, one, it has to be in relatively small numbers so that you
00:33:40.960
can assimilate and everything. And two, if you're going to come to this country, you probably shouldn't
00:33:46.400
order our government around. And three, if you're going to order our government around, you probably
00:33:52.220
should speak the language first. This is not persuasive. This was even less persuasive than
00:33:58.500
Jacob Frye. Although maybe it's because this guy's a little older than Jacob Frye. And Jacob Frye did
00:34:02.420
the millennial thing yesterday where he just inserted the F word in a whiny tone to let you know he's
00:34:06.760
super duper serious. So he needs to get the F out of here. Get the F out, man. Jacob Frye does speak
00:34:13.700
English, though he just chooses not to most of the time. So he could speak Tatooine instead.
00:34:17.240
But this guy doesn't speak English that well. And he's a little older. So he said, get the hell out.
00:34:23.300
If he were not a Gen X or a boomer, but silent generation, he would probably say, get the heck
00:34:29.020
out or get the, I don't know. Anyway, you know, you don't get to order immigration. Immigration
00:34:33.300
enforcement might start talking to you, buddy. It might throw that demand back on you. Now, speaking of
00:34:37.320
English, this is actually the most amazing story of the day. The United Arab Emirates
00:34:42.120
are now cutting funds for students to study at schools where they might be indoctrinated into
00:34:50.580
radical Islam. And those schools are not in Iran or Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. The schools that they
00:34:59.740
don't want their students to study in are in the UK. The United Arab Emirates are saying, look, we do not
00:35:06.480
want our students to go to Oxford or Cambridge because they might be radicalized into Islamic
00:35:12.940
brotherhood ideology. It's just an amazing, it's an amazing story. Where is it? I have the article
00:35:18.780
somewhere here. Do I? Do I? I think I do. No, they didn't give it to me. Okay, that's too bad. Well,
00:35:24.440
anyway, producers slept in a little bit today. They got, I don't know, they're not quite with the,
00:35:29.180
with the clips or with the articles, but it's, that's the, take my word for it. It's in the
00:35:34.700
Financial Times. Okay. This is a British publication. They say, yeah, the UAE, a bunch of the, the Arab
00:35:43.620
Emirates are afraid that the Brits are going to radicalize them into Islam. Tells you, I like the
00:35:49.800
UAE. I've spent a little bit of time there. Probably not going to move there anytime soon, but I, you know,
00:35:53.920
when the Arab Emirates are telling you, you guys are going too far on the Islam, you, they probably,
00:36:00.280
you should pay attention. Okay. Before we get to my favorite time of the week, one last story.
00:36:05.900
Speaking of Muslim radicals in Minnesota, got to give a hat tip to Mays here. Just an amazing find.
00:36:11.400
This is from 2022 amid all of the talk about Minnesota and the fraud with the migrants is,
00:36:18.100
which is one of the factors impelling all of the ice raids and the protests and the this and the that.
00:36:23.920
Don't forget what this comes down to. A bunch of Somalis showed up to Minneapolis,
00:36:30.920
showed up to Minnesota and defrauded the taxpayer of jillions of dollars and sent a lot of that money
00:36:38.320
back to Somalia, some of it to the terror group Al-Shabaab. They did this by defrauding the healthcare
00:36:43.420
system and the childcare system. Nick Shirley, when he goes to the childcare centers and there aren't any
00:36:50.480
kids there, you see the fraud. Chris Ruffo's great coverage of the Minneapolis fraud. It's about
00:36:55.520
healthcare and childcare specifically. Here's a beautiful clip. Blast from the past, 2022.
00:37:05.480
First Lady Jill Biden making a stop in Minnesota today to tout the country's investments in childcare.
00:37:10.120
She was joined by Governor Walz and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra during a visit
00:37:16.760
this afternoon to the University of Minnesota. Biden highlighted major investments in childcare
00:37:21.140
through the American Rescue Plan. Billions of dollars in funding have helped states like Minnesota
00:37:25.740
keep healthcare and childcare providers open and boost pay for childcare workers during the pandemic.
00:37:31.360
First Lady says there's still more work to be done, though. More than 130,000 childcare providers
00:37:37.540
across the country have received federal funding. Last year, the state of Minnesota received more than
00:37:41.820
500 million dollars to help the childcare industry. And here we have the First Lady of the United
00:37:48.160
States, Jill Biden. At that point, it was probably the acting president because Joe's brain had turned
00:37:53.100
to pudding. Coming here, yes, we're so happy to give all these gajillions of dollars to Somali criminal
00:38:01.460
syndicates in Minnesota. They knew. They knew. They gave it. They totally own this. It's just perfect.
00:38:10.740
Walls clearly knew what was going on. There's some evidence his office is engaged in a cover-up right
00:38:17.360
now. There are like a dozen things we could arrest that guy for right now, and maybe we should.
00:38:22.540
Maybe we should. For decades, Americans have been taught a version of history designed to shame them,
00:38:27.200
silence them, make them think that certain questions are off limits. That ends now.
00:38:31.780
Matt Walsh's new series, Real History with Matt Walsh, premieres Monday, January 19th, exclusively on
00:38:35.600
Daily Wire. Plus, this series confronts the lies, omissions, and propaganda baked into the history you were
00:38:40.280
taught not to challenge. It starts with one of the biggest myths of all. Here is your first look at episode
00:38:46.280
They told you America invented slavery. They told you the Indians were peaceful.
00:38:53.260
They told you colonialism was evil and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy. And guess what? They lied.
00:39:01.320
For a century, generations of American schoolchildren have been taught to hate our history,
00:39:05.280
hate our country, and hate themselves. It's time to set the record straight. And since no one else
00:39:11.340
is going to do it, I will. Who sold us to slaves? What were India and Africa like before Europeans
00:39:17.920
arrived? What caused white flight? Some of the most well-known stories from American history
00:39:22.660
are designed to demoralize you. A trail of tears, a smallpox blanket smith, a red scare. It's all baseless.
00:39:29.360
It's time for a lesson on what they're not teaching in public schools, on the real history of slavery,
00:39:35.640
of colonialism, of the Indians, of America, and the world. It's time for Real History with Matt Walsh.
00:39:50.860
Do not miss it. Season one of Real History with Matt Walsh premieres Monday, January 19th.
00:39:54.640
Join now at dailywireplus.com. My favorite comment yesterday is from PNW Vibes. It's actually really
00:40:02.300
easy not to get shot by the cops. Let all who have ears to hear, let them hear. It's not getting shot
00:40:09.800
by the cops is like the easiest thing in the world. It's much harder to learn how to use a yo-yo.
00:40:16.480
It's much more difficult to play a diatonic harmonica than it is to not get shot by the cops.
00:40:22.820
Ten and two, yes sir, no sir. Don't drive your car into them. Don't run away from them. Even
00:40:31.100
running away from them is probably fine. Running toward them, like charging them. Don't reach for
00:40:35.540
their weapons. Yeah, it's not that hard. Also, as that clip started, I looked once again through my
00:40:41.460
papers. I have to, Jacob, Professor Jacob, it's right there at the top, did print out my Financial
00:40:48.520
Times article about the UAE. I, I, that was a pre-judgment or a rash judgment. It takes a very
00:40:56.600
big, handsome, sexy man to admit when he was wrong. I got, I got my article, Professor Jacob,
00:41:05.240
he did, he was semi-diligent. Ladies and gentlemen, they got, they got me. They got me. Okay,
00:41:09.680
they got me. Can I admit that? Can a man admit that? Finally, finally, we arrive at my favorite
00:41:16.180
time of the week. When I get to hear from you in the mailbag, our mailbag is sponsored by pure talk

00:41:32.560
to clarify, I believe absolutely in the constitutional right to petition the government for a regress of
00:41:38.700
grievances, but that can be done by sending a strongly worded email to your house representative.
00:41:44.860
I think protest of the form we're seeing right now in Minneapolis or anywhere in the country that
00:41:49.100
involves going out in the streets with obnoxious signs and slogans, that, that is a public safety
00:41:55.620
threat and just should not be tolerated in America. I'm curious as to your thoughts. Yeah, I largely agree.
00:42:01.700
At the risk of sounding like a lib, I do think there is a role for public protest in American life. I think
00:42:07.420
you see that throughout the American political tradition, going back to the colonial days.
00:42:12.300
I think there is a role for that. However, you're entirely right. You don't get to protest in the
00:42:17.420
middle of the street. That is, and people really think that you can. They think that the right to
00:42:22.480
protest or the right to redress grievances, petition your government to redress grievances,
00:42:28.180
is, it means that you get to just do whatever you want in the middle of the street. That's not true.
00:42:31.240
If you want to protest, you need permits. You need to do it in an orderly way. You need to clean up
00:42:36.280
after yourself. You have, there is still order. That's the whole point of the public protest is it's
00:42:41.120
within the political order, even established by the constitution. So yeah, like if there's an empty
00:42:46.700
field somewhere, you can host a rally. That's fine. If you're within certain quarters around the White
00:42:54.400
House or something, I get, there are always people protesting stuff. They're usually funded by foreign
00:42:58.340
lobbies. But yeah, the stuff, the middle of the street stuff, those people need to be arrested
00:43:03.520
immediately. No, no question. Okay. Next question. Michael, I know your answer to the question of
00:43:10.000
should a wife and husband be buried in the same cemetery as yes, but I'm curious about your
00:43:15.320
thoughts in my particular situation. My parents immigrated from India, have since moved back
00:43:20.640
and will be buried in India. I have two older brothers. We all live in Connecticut, but when it
00:43:27.060
comes to retirement, we will all be moving to different states and out of the state of Connecticut.
00:43:30.900
I'm Catholic and plan to be buried in a Catholic cemetery. My wife, her family has relatives that
00:43:39.680
can date back to at least the Revolutionary War. She, her family is of Protestant extraction
00:43:45.700
and she wants to be buried in the cemetery in Connecticut that many of her family members
00:43:51.480
are buried in. What would you do if you were in my situation?
00:43:55.000
It's a nuanced question. Actually, you asked the right person because I'm also Catholic and I also
00:44:03.600
have family that goes back to the Revolutionary War and before then. So I get it. Those New England
00:44:08.140
cemeteries. In fact, there's a cemetery in Maine, middle of nowhere Maine, where my Revolutionary War
00:44:14.640
ancestor, one of them, Simon Knowles, and his wife, Lydia Knowles, they're buried. You can go see the
00:44:18.320
headstone today. The headstones are from the early to mid-19th century. So it's cool. I like all that.
00:44:24.660
The rest of my family is not buried there though. And I would say, as a Catholic, the reason you want
00:44:28.460
to be buried in a Catholic cemetery is because we believe that that gives you even more graces,
00:44:35.800
you know, graces from celebration of the mass and all. And look, some Protestants will believe in
00:44:40.320
that stuff. Some Protestants won't. And people who are not religious think it's all hooey. But if you're
00:44:44.680
Catholic, as you say, that's what you believe. That's why you want to be buried in a Catholic
00:44:48.140
cemetery. You can be buried as a Catholic in a non-Catholic cemetery, in a family plot or
00:44:55.620
something. You can do that. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. You know, you leave
00:45:02.660
your family. Our Lord tells us you leave your mother and father and you join together with your
00:45:07.180
spouse and what God has joined, let no man separate. You don't literally have to be buried next
00:45:14.600
to your spouse. But I think you should. And if the question is, what matters more to me,
00:45:19.420
my family heritage or my faith? If you're really thinking about it seriously, your faith should
00:45:24.000
matter more to you. So, you know, if it's a real sticking point, I guess you guys could be buried
00:45:28.260
in the New England cemetery. But take it from another Catholic. But even, you know, a lot of my
00:45:32.780
family who weren't buried in those cemeteries, they weren't Catholic. But it's another one of old
00:45:37.020
New England stock, old Revolutionary War stock. It's nice that some of your ancestors are buried
00:45:42.920
there and you can go visit them. But, you know, you've gone out and spread across the country
00:45:48.040
as our ancestors perhaps envisioned. And I wouldn't, I would pick the cemetery near to where
00:45:55.560
you're living, maybe near to where your children are living, cemetery nearer to your faith over
00:46:00.300
the family one. Even though the family cemetery is very, very cool, I admit. Next one.
00:46:04.740
Hi, Michael. I have a theory about Professor Jacob's car accidents. I think God is trying
00:46:11.840
to use him to play matchmaker with someone at the dealership and someone at the car repair shop.
00:46:19.520
Wow. Can we get Jacob on the line? Professor, can you pipe in? Are you there? Let's get him
00:46:28.300
Okay. So, you heard this theory. The reason that, and this is just his view, the reason
00:46:35.260
that God is allowing you to crash your car every three days is to play matchmaker, bad
00:46:39.960
news for your girlfriend, Destiny, but to play matchmaker with someone at the dealership
00:46:43.920
or the repair shop. The first question I have is, do you go to the same repair shop every
00:46:53.740
My insurance usually comes and takes the car and fixes it and gives it back to me. I
00:47:00.680
They go, they take the car, they fix it for you?
00:47:04.580
Huh. I thought you were going to say my insurance handles it because I total it every time.
00:47:08.720
But okay. So, they go, they fix it. So, you, now, could it be the case that whoever you're
00:47:13.980
talking to at the insurance company is the person you're supposed to marry?
00:47:18.860
Well, I'm happily in a relationship, but you want to know something very ironic about this
00:47:24.580
The way Destiny and I came back into contact was because she slid up on one of my stories
00:47:30.420
where I posted my car shortly after an accident when I repaired it and changed the color.
00:47:36.860
That's not ironic, actually. That's just a coincidence, and it might further the thesis
00:47:42.460
of the question, but you're using irony in the same way that Alanis Morissette did in that
00:47:47.100
stupid song from the 90s. In any case, that's an amazing story. And I think it basically,
00:47:52.760
in a weird way, defends the guy's thesis, the member of the Claims de la Claims thesis. Okay.
00:47:59.440

All of this is an illusion. An echo of a voice that has died. And soon that echo will cease.
00:48:44.960
They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of lost Atlantis. They say the future
00:48:57.680
and the past are known to him. That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets. That the magic of
00:49:05.740
the hillfolk and Druids come forth at his easy command. They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds do you hear? That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
00:49:19.460
The Merlin died long before you and I were born. Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.
00:49:34.520
Portigan is gone. Rome is gone. The Saxon is here. Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest warhost ever seen in the
00:49:44.380
island of the mighty. And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
00:49:50.260
And he will have it. If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him,
00:49:56.600
here is your hope. A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand. A high king. He will be the
00:50:03.640
wonder of the world. You. To a future of peace.
00:50:10.760
There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
00:50:16.640
Men of the island of the mighty. You stand together.
00:50:33.040
These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
00:50:40.240
They say Merlin slew 70 men with his own hands.
