Ilhan Omar calls for President Trump to be executed. The federal government removes
00:00:04.860
pride flags from a national gay monument, and Zoran Mamdani is fuming over it.
00:00:09.860
Not very halal, if you ask me. And Shakespeare was apparently a black Jewish woman. Did you
00:00:16.640
know that? I never learned that. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:30.000
Welcome back to the show. Big news out of Minnesota this morning. Big news out of the
00:00:43.420
White House. ICE has apparently recovered thousands of unaccompanied illegal alien children.
00:00:52.580
So little kids who have not been tracked. We don't know who they're with. We don't know
00:00:58.460
what kind of situations they're in. A lot of kids who are let in under Joe Biden especially
00:01:03.340
have been identified by ICE and are now in safety. Really, really big news. Tom Homan
00:01:09.400
just did a press conference about it. We'll try to pull those clips because this is happening
00:01:13.120
in real time. Before we get to anything, I want to tell you about Catholic Match.

00:01:22.620
February is here, the month of love and Valentine's Day. But while our culture celebrates with
00:01:26.480
chocolates and roses, how many young Catholics are actually finding the kind of love that leads
00:01:30.980
to sacramental marriage? I hear from young people about how hard it is to find other serious Catholics
00:01:36.320
to date. People who understand that marriage is a sacred vocation, not just a relationship status.
00:01:40.900
And they'll say, Michael, I've been to church, but maybe at my parish, the average age is 152.
00:01:47.360
And so it's not working out great. Or let's say, look, there's some young people at my parish
00:01:52.180
and the odds are good, but the goods are odd. So whatever your circumstances, it's hard to date
00:01:57.180
today for everybody, not just Catholics. And it's even harder to date for marriage, which is why
00:02:02.000

00:02:28.660
and find your forever. Ilhan Omar. Ilhan, Ilhan, Ilhan. She has had a lot of hits over the years.
00:02:37.840
She's giggled about Al-Qaeda. She has compared Al-Qaeda to the United States Army. She has allegedly
00:02:46.100
married her brother. She has been one of the most radical anti-American members of the US Congress.
00:02:52.820
And she's outdone herself. She's in rare form. She has now called to execute President Trump.
00:03:00.540
Why? What started this? I guess it started when the United States stupidly let in a lot of Somali
00:03:07.440
refugees decades ago. But then after the immigration fraud and the marrying the brother and getting
00:03:13.380
elected to Congress, President Trump had this to say about Representative Omar.
00:03:19.620
So you're gonna still go after the whole waste, fraud, and abuse issue.
00:03:23.300
Well, I am in Minnesota. Take a look at Minnesota. So we think it's at least $19 billion of fraud,
00:03:30.680
medical, every fraud. Somalia has come in here. What they've done to our country, these people,
00:03:36.500
they've come into our country. And what they've done with that fake congresswoman, she's so bad.
00:03:45.540
So there it is. A pretty light punch, actually, for President Trump. That was a little bit more
00:03:50.100
of a jab. It's that fake congresswoman. And so Ilhan's response says, the leader of the
00:03:55.280
Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein
00:04:00.260
files. At least in Somalia, they execute pedophiles, not elect them.
00:04:04.460
So Ilhan Omar, one, is insinuating that President Trump is a pedophile based on nothing,
00:04:13.200
based on absolutely nothing, even by the standards of the nonsense they say about Trump,
00:04:18.860
that he's Hitler, that he's this, he's that. This is particularly offensive. Calls the GOP the
00:04:24.620
Pedophile Protection Party. Again, based on absolutely nothing. Tries to link this to the Epstein files.
00:04:30.100
As we pointed out yesterday, even mainstream news outlets, liberal establishment news outlets
00:04:35.280
are reporting that President Trump was one of the first people to call the cops on Jeffrey Epstein.
00:04:40.440
And Jeffrey Epstein, in as much as he had any partisan political alliance,
00:04:44.200
was a Democrat, was a liberal Democrat. His allegiances were to the liberal parties in many,
00:04:52.040
if not most, of the states that he was even dealing with.
00:04:54.480
He was hanging out with a lot more libs and a lot more Democrats than he was hanging out with
00:04:58.100
Republicans. He was buddying up with Bill Clinton. Even when you look at Israeli politics,
00:05:01.920
he was on the side of Ehud Barak, the liberal politician, not Bibi Netanyahu,
00:05:07.180
the right-wing politician. You see this all around the world. So if you're going to say that one party
00:05:12.160
is more inclined to the grooming and the weird sex stuff, especially with kids, it's the Dems. I mean,
00:05:18.020
the clearest example of this is they are actively grooming kids for aberrant sexual behaviors.
00:05:23.440
The leading presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2028, Gavin Newsom,
00:05:27.380
just recently came out and said, I want to see more trans kids. Freaky, sick, groomy stuff.
00:05:34.900
So anyway, that's the premise that's totally insane from Ilhan Omar. But then the real meat of
00:05:39.640
the whole issue is that this woman who really should not be in our country is calling for the
00:05:46.720
execution of the president of the United States. And this isn't even a particularly idle threat
00:05:51.320
because President Trump was nearly assassinated. He had a bullet go through his ear because of the
00:05:56.500
grace of God. And because of a last second head turn when the assassin, who we still know basically
00:06:02.400
nothing about other than that he donated to Democrats, when the assassin's bullet hit him,
00:06:07.880
Trump could have had his brains blown out on that stage in Pennsylvania.
00:06:12.100
Then there was another attempt to assassinate Trump. Democrats are still defending political
00:06:15.700
violence against Trump. And now Ilhan Omar is calling for him to be executed.
00:06:20.640
And the question that we all have, I think, if we want to get practical, we don't want to just say
00:06:25.040
these crazy libs, or can you believe this? Or imagine if the shoe were on the other foot or
00:06:29.720
whatever nonsense, impotent, vacuous nonsense some Republicans want to say about this.
00:06:35.400
My very practical question is, how much more are we going to put up with from this woman?
00:06:40.060
How much more are we going to take? This woman has no right to be in the United States. This woman
00:06:43.840
committed immigration fraud. She certainly, allegedly, I still have to say allegedly because
00:06:49.460
none of this has been prosecuted. It would appear, it would strongly appear, I can say with a great
00:06:56.620
deal of confidence, she committed immigration fraud when she fake married her brother.
00:07:02.060
Probably committed bigamy because she was still actually married to her real husband.
00:07:07.060
So she definitely committed immigration fraud. She definitely committed fraud with her oath of
00:07:12.480
loyalty because she has no loyalty to the United States. She clearly hates it. She's said many times
00:07:16.400
that her real loyalty is to Somalia. And she said very, very nasty things about America and done very
00:07:20.700
nasty things to America. But there is also a great deal of evidence that she committed immigration
00:07:25.920
fraud when she was brought into this country decades ago. In any case, she should be denaturalized and
00:07:32.720
deported. She's very bad for our country. She has no serious right to be here. And it would be much
00:07:39.900
better for everyone involved if she left, even according to her own nonsense. When she talks about
00:07:45.900
how awful America is and how great Somalia is, well, great lady, how about we give you what you want?
00:07:51.800
Now, of course, it's actually much better for her to live in America. But she says it's not.
00:07:56.960
She speaks as though living in America is an awful burden and a curse. But she is awful for this
00:08:03.180
country. She doesn't help us. She's undermining our political order. Now she's calling for the
00:08:07.140
execution of the duly elected president who nearly was assassinated. It's easy for me to call for this
00:08:14.340
because I'm not the one that actually has to do the prosecutions. However, it would behoove the
00:08:20.440
Republican Party to get a little bit more serious for the people who are in elected office, for the
00:08:24.520
people who are in prosecutorial positions. What if we just boot this woman out?
00:08:31.540
I think we could do it. You plausibly could denaturalize and deport her. And she's not going
00:08:40.320
to stop. And she's going to encourage more of this lawlessness, more of this political violence.
00:08:46.300
So just boot her out. That would send a great message. I would love that. The law is a beautiful
00:08:50.860
teacher, my friends. Okay, we have got, I think we have those clips from the White House, so we'll get
00:08:56.920
to that. I also want to get to, speaking of reaching our limit, I want to get to the funniest
00:09:01.880
clip of any lawyer I think I've ever seen outside of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, arguing for squatter's
00:09:09.340
rights. A vagrant, a criminal, just took over a $2 million house and hired my favorite lawyer in the
00:09:16.600
country. We'll get to that momentarily. First, though, I want to tell you about Pure Talk. Go to
00:09:20.760
puretalk.com slash Knowles, Canada W-L-E-S. Do you know what holiday our sponsor Pure Talk celebrates?
00:09:25.800
It's President's Day, because they believe wireless service should only cost you a couple
00:09:30.000
of presidents, just a Jackson and a Lincoln, whose birthday it is today, I think. I think this is
00:09:34.740
actually Abe's birthday. It's $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data. You
00:09:39.800
think about this, that is the cost of one or two meals out. One or two meals out like five years ago.
00:09:44.260
Now, after the Bidenflation, that's like the cost of one green bean at the grocery store.
00:09:49.440
Right now, big wireless is charging families hundreds of dollars every month. There is no reason
00:09:55.440
that wireless needs to be that expensive. What makes Pure Talk different goes beyond just the
00:09:59.120
price. You are getting the top towers. You're getting excellent, excellent service. You're
00:10:05.220
getting all that stuff. You're also getting a company that supports our veterans, that invests
00:10:09.980
in a U.S.-based customer service team. So when you call someone up, you're going to understand them.
00:10:14.200
You're going to speak to someone in the United States. It's great. I've had my Pure Talk phone
00:10:17.700
in service for years now. I love it. Pure Talk uses the same towers as those big carriers
00:10:22.600
without the inflated price. It is just $25 a month. Talk, text, plenty of data, no contract,
00:10:28.740
no cancellation fee. Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles. Get 50% off your first month. Pure

We've had enough, haven't we? We've had enough of the lawlessness. We've had enough of the disorder.
00:11:58.720
We've had enough of the degradation. I have reached my limit. Have you reached yours? I think we have.
00:12:03.960
Case in point, in Maryland right now, some criminals just took over a house.
00:12:10.780
The house was being foreclosed on. I guess it was owned by the bank and is in a nice neighborhood.
00:12:16.560
This is a multi-million dollar house. I think it was worth $2.3 million. And these squatters just
00:12:21.700
showed up. And the neighbors don't like it because they bring with them crime and volatility and danger.
00:12:25.940
It's obviously lawless. So the squatters get dragged to court.
00:12:31.100
This is their lawyer making their case for squatters' rights.
00:12:38.880
He spoke with Alex Webster about his client. Look, there's a question. It's really the number
00:12:43.800
one question on everybody's mind. How would your client, Mr. Mika Good, get inside a $2.3 million
00:12:50.400
property? Cut. I don't know if I can answer that. Allegedly.
00:12:59.940
Can I cut? We're rolling. Yeah, we're rolling, my friend. Yeah.
00:13:12.000
He doesn't know what to do. He's just sitting there.
00:13:25.020
Think about every decision that led up to this moment. This guy goes to law school,
00:13:31.280
I guess. Goes to some law school. We need to look at the accreditation of the law school.
00:13:35.920
He then takes on these clients. And look, some lawyers, they don't get to pick the
00:13:40.360
top clients. Not everyone gets to represent Goldman Sachs, okay? So, okay, he takes whatever
00:13:45.900
client he can get. It's these squatter criminals. But then he agrees to the interview. I think that's
00:13:52.260
the clearest malpractice here. So he agrees to the interview. And then he sits down and the
00:13:57.740
journalist goes, hey, how did you find yourself in this wacky situation? That's basically the
00:14:02.800
question is, hey, give me the most basic defense that you would make before a judge.
00:14:08.200
And the lawyer, who's wearing a funeral suit for some reason, black and black,
00:14:12.480
a funeral for the case that he's trying to make, he sits there and he goes, cut.
00:14:20.100
Like, no, no, no. You're the lawyer. You're not the director. You're not the producer. Cut.
00:14:27.300
Okay. Hey, we're going to fix it in post. No, no, no. You have to answer the question. Can we cut?
00:14:30.820
No, you can't cut. So at that point, he should have just walked out of the room, right? And say,
00:14:34.980
I don't know why I agreed to this interview, but I finally came to my senses. I'm going to walk out.
00:14:38.120
But he doesn't. He sits there for ages, tries to figure out what he's going to say. And now,
00:14:45.640
Number one question on everybody's mind is how your client, Ms. Domeka Good, got into a $2.3 million
00:14:52.060
property. Um, well, Ms. Good did her research. Um, she found out that a certain property was under,
00:15:01.140
um, was under the control of a certain group, um, and that there was a title issue. Um, due to the
00:15:12.680
title issue, she was able to assume the property, um, under squatter's rights.
00:15:17.680
So in Maryland, there isn't a particular squatter, right? Am I missing something?
00:15:23.860
Well, there's not a particular squatter's right, but it's known as squatter rights.
00:15:31.820
Thank you. I love it. This is the real life version. We haven't played it on the show in a
00:15:36.340
long time. It's come up over the years. This clip has come up many times, but this is the most perfect
00:15:41.820
real life analog life imitates art to Charlie Kelly Esquire.
00:15:50.280
Let me handle this, Frank. It's not bad. He's making a few good points. I know a lot about the
00:15:56.540
law and various other lawyerings. Um, I'm well-educated, well-versed. I know that situations
00:16:01.820
like this real estate wise, they're very complex. Actually, they're pretty simple. The forms are all
00:16:08.040
standard boilerplate. Okay. Well, we're all hungry. We're going to get to our hot plate soon
00:16:12.400
enough, all right? But let's talk about the contract here. Sorry, I forgot. Where did you
00:16:16.540
go to law school again? Uh, well, I could ask you that very same question. I went to Harvard.
00:16:20.560
Uh-huh. How about you? Where? Yeah. I'm pleading the fifth, sir. I'd advise that you do that. And I'll
00:16:26.480
take that advice into cooperation, all right? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see
00:16:31.720
who comes out the victor. You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything, um, close to that,
00:16:35.540
and I can see clearly you know nothing about the law. It seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the
00:16:40.220
English language in general. Okay, well, filibuster. Yeah. Yeah. Do you, do you know what that word
00:16:49.040
means? Yeah. Yeah, that, that, that was the real life version of that. And yet we can make fun of
00:17:00.420
this guy all we want, not Charlie, the, the lawyer in Maryland, but there are real politicians.
00:17:07.300
They're real left-wing activists and academics making the argument for squatters rights, making
00:17:14.140
the, basically gussying up lawlessness in this fancy sounding language. The consequences of which
00:17:22.140
are the same disorder, violence, and erosion of our political order and a country that decays.
00:17:29.800
That's what this is really about. And so good on the journo there for saying,
00:17:33.960
you know, actually, I don't think there's any particular squatters right in Maryland,
00:17:37.660
right? He goes, well, yeah, no, I mean, there's no, my case is based on squatters rights and there
00:17:42.340
is no squatters right in Maryland, but there's the idea of it, you know, in any way. We can make fun of
00:17:48.300
that guy for being unpolished and inarticulate or whatever, but when it comes to brass tacks,
00:17:55.220
he's really not arguing for anything all that different that the top Democrats in this country
00:17:59.580
are. He's really not. I mean, even take it to illegal immigration, the ultimate case of
00:18:04.920
so-called squatters rights. You have the top Democrats in this country who are defending the
00:18:10.920
notion that you can totally ignore federal immigration law. You can totally ignore ICE.
00:18:16.060
You can try to hit ICE with your car, actually. You can hit these cops with your car and you would
00:18:19.820
be justified in doing so. And, you know, foreign nationals have some kind of right to be here and
00:18:25.740
to participate in our country and sap is dry. Those are not just arguments from some uneducated
00:18:31.200
lawyer in Maryland. Okay. That's being made at the top levels of the country. And so the fear is
00:18:37.300
that those top politicians are going to persuade Americans. The immigration fight has been the fight
00:18:43.200
of the last, what, three, four months. Minnesota was the showdown. And there's this weird polling
00:18:48.760
that's come out, which is that most Americans at the height of the Renee Good, Alex Preddy stuff,
00:18:53.680
most Americans wanted ICE to pull back in Minnesota. And also most Americans wanted mass deportations.
00:19:00.880
And those seem like they're in conflict or they are in conflict, in fact. But you're pulling the
00:19:06.260
same Americans. They say, yeah, we want ICE out of Minnesota. ICE has gone too far. Also, we want
00:19:10.180
mass deportations. So how do you resolve this? I think Tom Homan, the border czar, went a long way
00:19:18.360
toward resolving this conflict this morning. Big news out of Minnesota. ICE has recovered
00:19:25.260
thousands of unaccompanied illegal alien minors.
00:19:31.600
In addition to taking public safety threats off the street, ICE here in this state have located
00:19:39.640
3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children. Children that the last administration lost and
00:19:47.700
weren't even looking for. That's because the leadership of President Trump and these children
00:19:54.000
Brilliant stuff. This is the culmination of President Trump's phone call to Tim Walls and then
00:20:00.520
Trump taking out the guy who was in charge of the Minnesota operation, putting Tom Homan in there.
00:20:06.720
And it was very unclear. Both sides were claiming victory here. Tim Walls said, we got the scalp of Bovino,
00:20:12.860
the guy who was the commander at large for ICE. We got his scalp. We won. We got Trump to back down.
00:20:19.100
The Republicans came out and said, what are you talking about? You got Trump to back down.
00:20:21.900
They removed the guy that most of you never heard of. And they put in the guy who's the face of the
00:20:25.200
mass deportations. Back down. He's doubling down. What are you talking about? Which one was it?
00:20:31.680
I always thought that the shift that occurred in Minnesota was not really about policy.
00:20:37.840
The shift was about messaging. President Trump rightly saw that he was having trouble in the
00:20:42.020
messaging war. And so he put in a guy who's better at messaging, namely Tom Homan. And look what Homan
00:20:47.000
does. Look at the messaging. It's funny. I'm not even focusing at first on the hard facts of the
00:20:52.280
case, which are very important. I just want you to focus on the messaging for a second.
00:20:56.460
Previously, the Democrats were able to say that these raids in Minneapolis were a show of brute force,
00:21:04.900
that they weren't only focused on the face tattooed Venezuelan gangsters. They were
00:21:10.120
taking out abuelas. They were taking out your gardener. They were even leading to the deaths of
00:21:16.140
crazy white liberals who were either driving their cars into the agents or obstructing law
00:21:21.760
enforcement, assaulting law enforcement vehicles. Regardless, they were able to make the argument
00:21:26.060
that the ICE raids had gotten out of hand and they weren't just focusing on the very worst of the
00:21:31.420
criminals and that they were the extremists. What does Tom Homan do? He says, hey, you know what ICE
00:21:38.580
just did? ICE just recovered over 3,000 children who were brought in and lost under the last
00:21:47.640
administration, who were probably victimized in lots of different ways, who the last administration
00:21:54.200
didn't even want to focus on. We just saved a bunch of kids. Well, you guys were out assaulting
00:21:59.520
law enforcement, driving your cars into cops. We were just saving kids, kids that the other
00:22:05.260
administration was neglecting. By the way, the big lurid titillating story that's in the news is the
00:22:11.760
Jeffrey Epstein issue. So everyone's talking about child abuse and Tom Homan comes in there. The White
00:22:16.460
House comes into Minnesota and says, hey, we just secured one of the greatest wins for the protection
00:22:22.300
of children in any of our lifetimes. Thousands of minor children just in this one place have been
00:22:28.680
recovered by ICE. You want to paint ICE as the bad guy because they shoot a lady when she drives her
00:22:34.380
SUV into him? Okay. How do you think about ICE when ICE goes and saves all of those foreign children,
00:22:40.780
the children that you pretend to care about, all those foreign children who were trafficked into
00:22:44.740
this country by Joe Biden, who are being abused with the aid and cooperation of Democrat politicians?
00:22:51.220
Who's the good guy? Who's the bad guy now? On the substance of it, it's obviously a very,
00:22:55.860
very good thing what ICE just did. This is great for the cause of justice for these vulnerable kids.
00:23:01.600
So, you know, kudos to ICE and Tom Homan and President Trump and the whole White House.
00:23:06.260
Also though, you know, this is a show that focuses on politics. This is a masterful shift
00:23:11.460
in communication. I want to hear the Democrats answer that. I want to hear the Democrats defend
00:23:17.380
the rampant child trafficking and abuse that they have aided and abetted for years.
00:23:23.160
I want to hear the Democrats tell me why I should be more concerned about violent leftists driving
00:23:30.900
their cars into cops than I should be about innocent little kids who are being abused because of their
00:23:35.660
policies and their politicians. Brilliant, brilliant shift from the White House here.
00:23:40.660
Okay. Do we have, I think we have another clip of Tom Homan too. Is this right? This is kind of
00:23:44.280
happening in real time. Okay. We'll get to that momentarily first though. I want to tell you about
00:23:48.120
Van Man. I want to talk about your teeth. You got to go to vanman.shop slash knolls. Have you ever
00:23:55.120
tried to read what is in your toothpaste? Fluoride, SLS, glycerin, foaming agents, a chemical cocktail
00:24:01.640
that you were putting in your mouth twice a day. Big Toothpaste has been selling you the same toxic
00:24:06.740
formula for decades. Our sponsor, the Van Man Company, is changing that with their miracle tooth
00:24:11.340
powder. People are ditching traditional toothpaste by the thousands. Van Man's tooth powder uses real grass-fed
00:24:16.700
cattle bone hydroxyapatite. Not like appetite, like, you know, you're hungry for delicious cattle
00:24:22.680
bone. Hydroxyapatite is the same mineral structure as your actual teeth to remineralize and strengthen
00:24:29.600
enamel naturally. Now, most hydroxyapatite on the market is synthetic. Nobody, you don't want a
00:24:35.280
synthetic appetite. Van Man uses the real thing from grass-fed cattle loaded with virtually all the
00:24:39.740
minerals needed to rebuild tooth structure. Go check them out right now. Make the switch to real
00:24:44.460
oral care. That is vanman.shop slash NOLS. I love these guys. Use code NOLS, K-N-W-L-E-S. 15%
00:24:52.480
off your first order. That's vanman.shop slash NOLS. Use code NOLS, K-N-W-L-E-S. 15% off your
00:24:58.420
first order. Van Man, real ingredients, no exceptions. All right, Mr. Homan, Mr. Deportation, anything else?
00:25:05.960
I'm very pleased to report that this surge operation and our work here with state and
00:25:13.480
local officials to improve coordination and achieve mutual goals, as well as our efforts
00:25:19.040
to address issues of concern here on the ground, have yielded the successful results we have
00:25:24.100
came, came here for. As a result of this surge operation, we have greatly reduced the number
00:25:31.120
of targets for enforcement action. And many criminal aliens have been arrested and taken
00:25:36.840
off the streets, including murders, sex offenders, national security threats, gang members, and other
00:25:43.120
violent criminals. So this, this is the other messaging win. Really smart stuff. Minneapolis was
00:25:50.320
a success for President Trump. Previously, the polling showed that Minneapolis was not
00:25:55.120
a success. I always thought Minneapolis was justified. I didn't lose a moment's sleep over
00:26:02.660
the actions of law enforcement, even in the cases of Rene Good and Alex Preddy. I think the
00:26:06.600
cops were justified. However, the public did not think that. The public supported the broad
00:26:13.300
aims of the administration, but they didn't like the images they were seeing on their phones
00:26:16.740
and on their computers. And maybe some people still watch TV. So what does Holman do? He comes in
00:26:22.280
and he, he gains the cooperation of law enforcement and he says, this was a success. And what's the
00:26:28.460
pinnacle of the success? We saved thousands of kids. You can object to that, you jerks. I don't
00:26:31.960
think so. This, this was the, the intelligence behind Trump's phone call to Tim Walz. Tim Walz had
00:26:39.720
just come out, said the ICE is the Gestapo. Trump is Hitler. I'm, I'm going to call up the Minnesota
00:26:46.580
National Guard and we're going to fight the federal troops. Like it's 1863, except we're
00:26:51.740
going to be on the other side, except in this case, we're the Confederates. But anyway, he didn't think
00:26:55.840
that far ahead, but he was directly threatening insurrection and he was calling the federal officers
00:27:00.880
Nazis. Then Trump calls him. Who knows what he threatened him with? The day after that,
00:27:06.640
Walz says, yeah, they might be Nazis, but I'm a Nazi collaborator. We're going to work with them.
00:27:11.940
So they get buy-in from state and local law enforcement days after they were threatening
00:27:16.340
insurrection. And now by all accounts, the Minnesota surge operation, specifically what
00:27:23.300
Holman's talking about, was a success. Smart stuff. That guy, Holman is clearly good at law
00:27:28.740
enforcement. He's clearly good at arresting and deporting people. But even beyond all of that,
00:27:33.460
if I were running for office, I'd want to hire that guy to be my communications director.
00:27:36.640
That guy is very talented. Smart, smart stuff. Okay. Speaking of illegal immigration,
00:27:43.020
you are being gaslit by the libs. The Democrats have so shifted the political conversation
00:27:50.520
that the moderate option now is to supposedly to allow some of, not just the illegal aliens,
00:27:58.740
not just the miners, not just the dreamers, not just the, even the low level criminal offenders,
00:28:02.760
but some of the rapists and the murderers, they should be allowed to stay, especially if they
00:28:07.760
have children, especially if they've been here a long time. It would be wrong. It's extreme. It's
00:28:14.880
intemperate, immoderate to arrest these people. I want to remind you that not all that long ago,
00:28:23.180
the very Democrat politicians who were most recently at the heights of political power,
00:28:29.560
Joe Biden, spoke about immigration in a very different way. Hat tip to Mays here for finding
00:28:35.240
this one. This is Joe Biden on Meet the Press, or no, hardball with Chris Matthews.
00:28:40.720
Can you scare an employer in this country, whether he's an agricultural worker or a housewife,
00:28:46.820
into not hiring an illegal because the punishment's so high that if you get caught,
00:28:51.020
it's a huge embarrassment to your family, and you may just get hit with a fine that'll kill you.
00:28:55.600
Absolutely, you can. And that's what we should do. Well, I think we should do that.
00:28:59.560
You can't. No, no, no, you can't. And the last part of this is that the Democratic position also
00:29:04.880
recognized you got 11 million illegal aliens here. They have to have a way to earn their way into the
00:29:10.660
deal. This isn't amnesty. They're required to take 11 years' worth. They pay a fine. They've
00:29:15.080
got to learn to speak English. They've got to pass testers. I like the English part.
00:29:18.700
Yeah. I like the English part. I think if we want the problems of Canada right now,
00:29:22.660
keep encouraging people to keep their foreign language. English is going to unite this country
00:29:26.840
potentially. It always has in the past. I can't think of a country that has two languages as
00:29:32.780
their accepted languages that is doing all that well, including Switzerland and or Canada.
00:29:40.660
He's illegal. He's dirty, rotten, illegals. Jack, they got to work. They got to earn. So
00:29:46.500
we're not giving them anything. They don't have rights to anything. They got to learn English.
00:29:49.340
Darn it. No country can possibly exist if it has two national languages.
00:29:55.180
That was Joe Biden not that long ago. I get it. Chris Matthews was fired some years ago.
00:29:59.860
Joe Biden wasn't exactly a kid in that video. How old was he? He was in his 60s at least.
00:30:04.620
Joe Biden, Joe Biden, I think his views had formed in as much as he had serious views.
00:30:12.220
Don't let them gaslight you into thinking that the right is extreme in any way on immigration.
00:30:17.600
As the cop was shooting Rene Good or Alex Preddy, not even those actions qualify as anything close to
00:30:29.740
extreme. The Republican view is that Congress has passed laws that pertain to immigration in
00:30:38.400
accordance with our constitutional order, which distinguishes the United States from other nations.
00:30:44.200
And the Republican view is that we should enforce the laws duly passed by Congress,
00:30:51.240
the representatives of which were elected by the people in accordance with our constitution.
00:30:56.720
That's the Republican view. The Democrat view is that we shouldn't.
00:31:01.760
The Democrat view is we should ignore the law. Therefore, we should ignore Congress.
00:31:05.780
Therefore, we should ignore our democracy. We should ignore our borders generally,
00:31:09.640
and we should shred the constitution, to put it bluntly. That's the Democrat view.
00:31:16.360
And now the Democrats are saying, look, we need to maybe be moderate here. There is no moderation
00:31:22.000
between those views. There's no moderation between we uphold the law or we ignore the law.
00:31:26.900
There's no moderation between Congress has the right to pass laws or forget about Congress.
00:31:32.120
There's no middle ground between the people have a right to govern themselves under our constitution
00:31:38.140
and forget about the people. If they don't do what I want, then they're illegitimate.
00:31:43.400
There's no moderate via media there. You just kind of have to pick one.
00:31:47.700
Now, I guess the way to have an extreme version, if the Republicans were actually extreme,
00:31:55.220
they would load all of the illegal aliens up on boxcars tomorrow and ship them out within 24 hours
00:32:02.100
to Bukele to see whatever happens in El Salvador. That would be a more extreme view because it would
00:32:07.280
be, I don't know, more efficient or something. That's not what the Republicans are doing.
00:32:11.080
Far from it. The Trump administration formally deported a little over half a million people
00:32:18.540
last year, which is good. It's better than we've seen in the past. But there's like 20 million
00:32:24.340
illegals in the country. The only moderation here is from the extreme end of what is being done by
00:32:32.660
the Republican politicians. Okay. Now, speaking of the degradation of our political culture and
00:32:38.680
Congress in particular, a very depressing scene unfolded yesterday in Congress when Representative
00:32:45.740
Becca Balint, maybe I'm mispronouncing her name, a Democrat Congress lady, screamed and huffed and puffed
00:32:54.140
as if the conversation between the witness and this member of Congress were the most absurd argument
00:33:00.500
you ever got into with your craziest girlfriend when you were in high school or college.
00:33:05.260

Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point. I think it would come down to precious metals.
00:34:04.080
I hope we don't go cashless. I would say land is a safe investment.
00:34:08.180
Technology companies. Solar energy. Robotic pollinators might be a thing. A wrestler

00:34:25.340
The favorite comment of the producers yesterday. I did not pick this one. I will see if this
00:34:29.520
is actually the best one. It's from at just another music nerd XO says, we need common sense
00:34:34.180
trans control. Yeah, okay. It could have been worded more artfully. It's a little blunt. It's
00:34:42.300
a little red meat. But yeah, the point I basically agree on. That's true. We need to control the crazy
00:34:47.620
people, not deprive Americans of their legitimate rights. Yeah, I agree with that. Okay. Turning back
00:34:53.680
to capital. That's okay. You get a B minus. The producers get a B minus on that comment.
00:34:57.460
We turn to Congress where this scene unfolded between Attorney General Pam Bondi testifying
00:35:04.360
before Congress and Representative Becca Bailant.
00:35:10.360
Didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein, not once when he was-
00:35:16.180
And also, I want the record to reflect that with this anti-Semitic culture right now,
00:35:21.780
she voted against a resolution condemning- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Do you want to go there,
00:35:29.380
Attorney General? Or do you want to go there? Are you serious talking about anti-Semitism to a
00:35:36.420
woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust? Really? Really? Really? The committee will be in
00:35:42.180
order. Talk to Jared Wise about anti-Semitism. The ranking member knows it. I'm going to,
00:35:48.020
can I get like 30 seconds back, you know? Yeah, I've been- This balance took 30 of mine.
00:35:53.940
Are there any doctors on Capitol Hill who can treat that Democrat Congress lady for her
00:35:58.980
obviously advanced case of hysteria? Can we get some, I don't know, fainting couches perhaps
00:36:05.540
for the Democrat Congress ladies of Capitol Hill? Can we get, can we get Cher to show up and shake them
00:36:12.500
and say, get a hold of yourself, woman! Get a hold of yourself! What are you doing here?
00:36:16.340
A person who behaves in that way, as that Congress lady did, obviously should not be in Congress.
00:36:25.540
She's not capable of that. She doesn't have the ability to regulate her emotions and to control
00:36:30.420
herself that is required to be a legislator or a statesman of any kind. That is not a serious person.
00:36:38.740
And that is not a person who has been educated. By educated, I mean both the intellect and the will.
00:36:45.940
That is not a person who is capable of doing the job, which requires calmness. It requires patience.
00:36:55.220
It requires the ability to dispassionately hear opposing views. She doesn't have that. She's a
00:37:01.940
histrionic, hysterical lunatic who, if not in an insane asylum, should at the very least be placed
00:37:08.580
in private life. She should not be in public life. Then the fact that like a shrieking little toddler,
00:37:16.020
she just storms out of the hearing. That kind of behavior should not get you elected to US Congress.
00:37:24.100
That should get you a timeout. Her husband or father should come up and say, listen, Becca,
00:37:31.860
What? I just, no, I just, I can't. I know. How did you, are you serious?
00:37:36.820
Are you gonna, and she's just storming out. Becca, Becca, look at me, Becca. Is that how we behave
00:37:42.740
in the US Congress? I just, I just, you don't understand. Pam Bondi said something. Becca,
00:37:48.100
I know you don't like Pam Bondi. She was a little, she, no, she actually wasn't that mean to you,
00:37:52.900
but whatever. You don't like Pam Bondi, but is that, Becca, we've talked about this. Is that how
00:37:58.420
we behave in the US Congress? No, I guess that's not how we, right. That's not how we, that's not
00:38:04.020
how we should behave. So what are we gonna, what are we gonna say to the woman who's testifying,
00:38:10.500
Pam Bondi and your, and your colleagues in the Senate and to the American people? What are we
00:38:14.100
gonna say? I'm sorry. That's what, that's basically, that's how, that's best case scenario of how this
00:38:20.660
plays out with this petulant little toddler, this person who should have no place in the government.
00:38:27.060
Caligula, according to, I think it was Suetonius, Caligula joked about making his horse a consul of
00:38:34.020
Rome. And I don't, he never actually did it. Some people say he did it. He didn't actually do it,
00:38:37.800
but he joked about doing it to express his contempt for the Senate. To say, the Senate has been so
00:38:45.460
degraded. I am going to make my horse a consul of Rome. And I get it. You know, I didn't really
00:38:53.220
get it before. We, we all make jokes about Congress. Boy, these people are kind of wacky.
00:38:57.860
And in years past, there have been certain incidents like the caning of Sumner, where you say, wow,
00:39:01.460
the thing's really got out of hand here. This is different from, from the eccentricities of Congress
00:39:06.980
in the past. These people are deeply embarrassing. And you can't, more to the point, you can't have
00:39:15.640
a good country with these people. We focus a lot on ideology. Does this person check the right boxes
00:39:21.560
ideologically, check, stand for the right policies, the wrong policies? That's important. But you cannot
00:39:28.520
have a good country if your leaders lack intelligence, knowledge, virtue, and decorum,
00:39:36.580
and decorum too. It's not that we always need to play by the Marquess of Queensbury rules in every
00:39:41.160
aspect of our lives, but you need to comport yourself in a way that is tasteful, that has some class.
00:39:47.020
If you want to live in a country that is delightful, if you want to live in a country that is pleasant to
00:39:52.740
be in, you have to comport yourself in, in a way that is conducive to pleasantness. And they're not doing
00:40:02.420
this. They don't, they don't do that. Think of a neighborhood. Think of that neighborhood where the
00:40:09.080
squatter showed up and took the $2 million house. And now the neighbors are all concerned because it's
00:40:12.240
going to bring crime and disorder. Think of a neighborhood. You could have the nicest house
00:40:16.380
architecturally. It could cost a million dollars. It could cost $3 million, $10 million.
00:40:22.740
You could have the nicest streets in the nicest part of town on the right side of the tracks with a
00:40:31.400
nice, beautiful view. If all the people who live in your neighborhood are stupid, ignorant, vicious,
00:40:42.520
and petulant, you're going to have a bad neighborhood. And it's not going to matter how nice the brick is.
00:40:49.100
And it's not going to matter how nice the roads are. They won't be nice for very long.
00:40:51.940
And it's not going to matter which side of the tracks you're on. If the people who have inherited,
00:40:59.060
who have come into what is supposed to be a nice neighborhood, if they behave in ways that are
00:41:04.360
unbecoming of the neighborhood, your neighborhood is going to collapse like that. That's what's
00:41:08.920
happened to our country. The U.S. Capitol building is still beautiful. It wouldn't be if these people
00:41:14.600
built it. It would be hideous. It would be like probably one of those like dumb modernist cube
00:41:19.420
buildings that you see in lib neighborhoods in cities across the country. It would be
00:41:23.840
Washington, D.C., for all of its swampiness, has a great deal of beauty to it. That is not because of
00:41:31.180
any of these people that we're pointing out right now. Trump actually wants to make federal buildings
00:41:36.820
beautiful. Again, that was a great executive order from the first term, and they're working on it.
00:41:40.320
But most of these people don't want that. They have inherited something. They've inherited
00:41:45.640
something like a nice neighborhood, but they're not fit for the neighborhood.
00:41:50.520
And so the neighborhood's going to go to pot. There goes the neighborhood. As long as we have
00:41:56.540
people like this ridiculous woman or like Ilhan Omar, another ridiculous woman, or some of the men too.
00:42:02.360
I don't mean to just pick on the women. There are plenty of men in Congress who are degraded as well.
00:42:05.860
As long as we have these people operating our government, our country will degrade.
00:42:12.060
The ideologies are wrong, but it's also the intelligence. It's also the knowledge. It's also
00:42:21.200
the virtue, and it's the decorum. If you want to live in a nice neighborhood, the people need to
00:42:28.500
act in a nice way. Simple as. Speaking of unseemly officials, Zoran Mamdani, very, very upset because
00:42:37.040
the federal government has reportedly removed the rainbow gay pride flag from the Stonewall
00:42:44.260
National Monument. Zoran says, I am outraged by the removal of the rainbow pride flag from Stonewall
00:42:51.320
National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ plus rights movement, and no act
00:42:56.340
of erasure will ever change or silence that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy,
00:43:02.180
but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ plus
00:43:06.240
community, defends our dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors without exception.
00:43:09.500
So this would be a mark, first of all, of vindication, because I pointed out when everyone
00:43:15.440
was saying that Mamdani was going to bring Sharia law to New York, they were saying it was some kind
00:43:18.760
of Islamist terrorist. I said, would that it were so simple. In some ways, it would be preferable if
00:43:23.640
he were a serious Muslim. At least you can kind of talk to a Muslim. I think it's worse. I think he's
00:43:28.460
just a far leftist. I think he's a millennial leftist who plays up the Muslim thing because of
00:43:33.680
identity politics and because it'll help win over some immigrants and because there's a radical left
00:43:38.780
and Muslim alliance because they have a common enemy, which is America and the church and white
00:43:44.500
men, whatever. You know, the usual enemies of the left. And so that's, I said, but if the push comes
00:43:50.540
to shove, he's going to side with leftism over Islam. Just like when push comes to shove, Joe Biden
00:43:55.860
says he's Catholic and he's liberal. But when push comes to shove, when there's a conflict between the
00:43:59.040
two, he always picks liberalism. He never picks Catholicism. So his real faith is liberalism.
00:44:03.920
That was my argument with Mamdani. And I think I'm totally vindicated in that. In any case,
00:44:09.780
he's very upset because Trump took the pride flags away from Stonewall. What is Stonewall?
00:44:14.100
Stonewall Inn was a filthy, truly degenerate, disease-ridden, mafia-run bar. It was a hive of
00:44:23.700
crime, decadence, and debauchery in New York City. And then when the cops raided the filthy,
00:44:31.720
illegal, mafia-run bar. Not illegal, by the way, because it was permitting gay stuff, exactly.
00:44:38.140
Illegal for many other reasons. When that happened, a bunch of sexual deviants, including famously a
00:44:46.140
trans-identifying guy, started like chucking bricks at the cops. And as a result of this,
00:44:52.940
we now side with the gay mafia bar attacking cops. That is the thing that we've exalted as a national
00:45:01.880
monument. But it's a national monument, which means the federal government has a say over it.
00:45:05.960
And Trump has come out and said, look, you can fly the US flag at federal properties. You can fly
00:45:11.720
certain military flags, like a missing and war prisoner of action flag. But that's basically it.
00:45:17.100
You know, the flag of the army or the navy or something where that's appropriate. But that's
00:45:22.800
it. We're not doing the BLM flag. We're not doing the gay flag. We're not doing the trans flag. We're
00:45:26.020
not doing the terrorist trans flag, which is where it's the rainbow and the trans and the BLM. For
00:45:32.720
some reason, it's all, you know, the one with the arrow. And anyway, I call that the terrorist gay
00:45:36.100
flag. So they said, we're not doing that. And then it asks the question, why do we have a national
00:45:44.320
monument to Stonewall in the first place? Why do we have a national monument to weird sex stuff?
00:45:50.500
And why is a liberal New York politician, the most prominent left-wing New York politician,
00:45:56.540
why is he all of a sudden so concerned about tearing down monuments? The left has spent 10
00:46:01.340
years tearing down monuments to all of the men who built this country. Monuments to Christopher
00:46:07.460
Columbus, big push for that in New York, constantly defacing the Columbus monument in New York.
00:46:14.340
In Columbus place. Or Columbus circle, rather. There is the attack on even Abraham Lincoln,
00:46:21.560
on U.S. Grant, on Thomas Jefferson, on certainly on Robert E. Lee. So all these guys, we got to tear
00:46:26.580
down all these monuments. And the only monument we have to keep up, the only monument we can't tear
00:46:30.000
down is the weird sex flag on the weird sex place, which was actually a bar run by the mafia.
00:46:38.860
Before Republicans get two on our high horse, before conservatives get two on their high
00:46:42.160
horse, I just want to point out, what the libs are doing is destroying history and tearing down
00:46:47.260
the traditions and fabric of our country, in some cases, tangibly, which is bad.
00:46:53.740
But we want to tear some things down, too. Maybe not in as blunt a way as the libs do.
00:47:01.160
Maybe not in as blunt a way as the Taliban does. We're not blowing up the Buddha statues,
00:47:04.580
okay? But we want to tear things down in the way that you prune a garden. Not the way you blow up
00:47:12.360
a Buddha in Afghanistan, but the way you prune a garden. I do want to get rid of the Stonewall
00:47:18.120
National Memorial. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous that we have a monument to a mafia-run gay bar.
00:47:23.740
That's ludicrous. Best known for assaulting police officers, okay? Crazy. Best known for,
00:47:29.620
diseases running rampant in the bar. We should not have a monument to that. That's degrading to our
00:47:35.520
country. You can be nice to people who have some weird sexual behaviors. You can be nice to them.
00:47:40.960
You can be somewhat tolerant to that. Without putting up a freaking monument to the mafia gay
00:47:45.260
bar, that's insane. Not only should we be taking the pride flag away from that, we should be removing
00:47:50.740
that as a national monument. I guess the only practical reason to keep it as a national monument is
00:47:55.240
so that when Republicans are in power, we can exert some control over it. But yeah, we do want to pull
00:47:59.780
down some of that stuff. I don't want monuments up to people like Malcolm X or Angela Davis, okay?
00:48:06.780
Even if they're figures from American history, they represent bad stuff. I don't want monuments up to
00:48:12.440
the Rosenbergs who were communist spies, okay? I don't want a monument up to someone like an Alger Hiss.
00:48:18.000
I don't want monuments up to people who are bad for this country.
00:48:24.800
Once again, this is the point I made with my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds
00:48:28.140
about speech. Thank you. I haven't done one of those in a while. The false dichotomy when we were
00:48:34.840
talking about free speech was between free speech and censorship. When really the real battle is between
00:48:40.860
competing sets of standards because all societies have standards. Same thing here. The real debate is not
00:48:46.720
between do we tear down the statues or do we keep up all the statues? The real question is,
00:48:53.360
who's worthy of a statue? Who's worthy of a monument? Who's worthy of venerating as a political
00:49:00.640
matter? And on this point, great story we don't have time to get to today, but maybe I'll tease it at
00:49:04.780
least. President Trump is putting up a new statue at the White House, reportedly. And it is apparently
00:49:11.040
going to be one of the great men in this country's history, in this hemisphere's history, in world
00:49:18.180
history. And that is Christopher Columbus. We'll have to get to that tomorrow because today's Theology

What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God?
00:49:55.700
Merlin, I knew your father. I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.
00:50:04.660
All men know of the great Taliesin. You are my father. Other gods should war for my soul.
00:50:18.020
I know what the bull god offered you. I was offered the same.
00:50:21.620
And? There is a new power at work in the world. I've seen it. A god who sacrifices what he loves for
00:50:30.020
us. We are each given only one life singer. No. And we're given another.
00:50:35.460
I learned of Yezu the Christ. And I have become his follower. He's waiting on a miracle. And I think you can give him one.
00:50:46.180
Trust in Yezu. He is the only hope for men like us.
00:50:50.340
Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light.
00:50:53.460
Great light. Great darkness. Such things mattered to me then.
00:50:57.460
What matters to you now, mistress of lies? You, nephew.
00:51:11.300
How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield?

Circling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.
