Today on the Matt Walsh Show, President Trump has authorized full force against leftist terrorists, but so far we haven't seen full force or really any force at all. We'll talk about that. Also, another mass shooting at a house of worship. This time it's a Mormon church that was the target. And last week we talked about Dearborn, Michigan, which has turned into an Islamic capital right in the middle of the American heartland.

Please support our show and tell them our show sent you here's something that never happened as the Biden administration was carrying out its nationwide crackdown on conservatives. As they rounded up conservatives who prayed outside of abortion clinics, who walked around the Capitol building, who posted memes on social media, and so on, they never once, not one time, punished a law enforcement official for excessive force against conservatives. And they had no shortage of opportunities to do so. On January 6th alone, a Capitol Police officer with a lengthy and documented history of incompetence shot an unarmed woman to death. Another Capitol Police officer shoved an unarmed protester off a staircase, nearly killing him. We'll put that footage up on the screen since nobody ever really talks about it. The guy they pushed was unresponsive and seriously injured. On top of that, there's evidence that an officer may have beaten Roseanne Boyland, another unarmed protester who died on January 6th. And this is just a small sampling of excessive use of force on one day when the FBI, armed with a battering ram, knocked down James O' Keefe's door at 6am and made him stand outside in his underwear while they ransacked his apartment. Not one agent was even disciplined, much less terminated. They were harassing and humiliating a journalist along with everyone who worked with him, in clear violation of the First Amendment. And then again, the agents were on a mission to destroy all evidence of Ashley Biden's diary and all her, you know, various stories about showering with her father and all that. So, you know, they had nothing to worry about. Along the same lines, as we've discussed previously, 25 heavily armed FBI agents pointed their rifles at Mark Hauck in front of his children for the crime of protesting abortion. One of the agents mocked Halk's children as they watched their father getting dragged away. But again, nothing happened to any of those people. Conservatives complained about all these incidents constantly. We complained in Congress, on cable television, on podcasts, on social media, everywhere. But the Biden administration just ignored us because of course, they would. And there's a reason for that. The Biden administration understood that when you're waging total war on the domestic front, there's no room for infighting. A unified front is far more effective. In every case. Their goal was to demonize and ultimately destroy Christians and conservatives, and they ruthlessly pursued that goal. So they looked the other way when their agents committed acts of unlawful violence. In fact, every single Democrat in the country supported this approach. That's what we saw for the past four years. That's what we're still seeing today. Unanimous agreement. The test for the Trump administration, maybe the only test that matters is whether they're willing to demonstrate half as much commitment and dedication to their mission as the left. The conservatives, particularly Christians, are being gunned down every other day. Democrats are openly celebrating the violence and encouraging more of it. Incitement is their entire political platform, and these people will succeed unless they are crushed unapologetically by a unified right. Now, to be clear, I'm not saying that the Trump administration should commit acts of unlawful violence as the Biden administration did. I've been very clear about that. All conservatives are very clear about that. We don't want any unlawful violence. We don't want any persecution, oppression, chaos. We stand against that because we're conservatives. We want to conserve law and order. We want to conserve civilization and protect it against the enemies of civilization. Now, what I am saying is that when you're faced with a highly motivated and organized enemy and a violent enemy, it's critically important to look after your own people. Don't hamstring your own officers, don't pay any attention whatsoever to the fake outrage mobs on the left. Ignore the constant drumbeat of lies from every single mainstream media outlet and go out and crush these terrorists. That's the bar that the current administration has to meet. That's the test they have to pass. Well, over the weekend, someone in the Trump administration failed this test, and we have to talk about it, because they failed it very badly. And we gotta call this kind of stuff out, because it's just. We just can't have it. So footage was posted online of a scuffle at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan involving an ICE officer and a woman named Monica Morada Galarraza. Galarraza. The woman is apparently not an American citizen. Neither is her husband. And when ICE agents detained her husband, Monica had a meltdown. And here's footage that went viral, which was posted by A reporter from ProPublica, the left wing outlet that specializes in hit pieces against conservatives, in particular against conservative Supreme Court justices. Now, they've moved on to ICE agents. And so this is the. The footage that they put out. As you can see, all the reporters are eagerly taking pictures. They were all looking for a moment like this, which they could use to spread the narrative that ICE is randomly attacking innocent women for no reason. And of course, to that end, the footage from this ProPublica reporter starts after the ICE agent is already pushing the woman. So we have no context whatsoever. We have no information about what led up to it. Which it. Which is. Which is everything. That's. You cannot make any judgment at all without knowing what led up to an incident like this. So it's obviously a misleading clip. It's intended to provide ammunition to leftists who want open borders. And that's not a surprise. And, you know, we expect this kind of dishonesty from these people. What we don't expect and what we shouldn't tolerate is that. And what we shouldn't expect anyway, although maybe some people do, is that the Trump administration would fall for this propaganda. But they did. In response to an inquiry from cnn, DHS folded immediately. This is a statement from dhs officially. Okay. From their spokeswoman, quote, the officer's conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ice. That's according to Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin on Friday. Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards. And this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation. Now, obviously, this statement was an immediate propaganda victory for the entire left wing media. It became a rallying cry for the communists on Reddit who are calling for ICE officers to be murdered. And the message to rank and file ICE officers couldn't be any more clear. Your superiors don't have your back. They don't care if you're forced to defend yourself against criminal illegal aliens. They will throw you under the bus at a moment's notice. Now, here's a longer clip of this incident which actually provides some meaningful context. Ice, of course, had access to this footage when they suspended the agent and when they. When they put out that statement. But they ignored it, apparently. Watch now as you can see from this clip, the woman puts her hands on the ICE officer multiple times. She corners him. He's trying to tell her to leave. She's hysterical. She keeps making physical contact with a federal officer, which is against the law. If you or I did this to a law enforcement officer, we would receive exactly the same treatment. This woman was repeatedly told to leave, to calm down, and she responded by touching this ICE officer several times. And especially right now, when federal agents are being attacked constantly, that's not something that you can tolerate. And therefore, in a completely lawful and justified response, the officer pushes the woman back towards a line of uniformed security guards, and that's all. And then she falls and she fakes some kind of injury. Okay, she wasn't injured. Like, she fell over. Big deal. She's fine. And she absolutely had that response coming. She deserved it. That's on her. And that's the whole story. So who exactly in the Trump administration authorized that statement to go out blaming the ICE officer? What was the thinking behind it? And whoever was responsible should obviously be fired immediately. The DHS spokeswoman should be gone, should be publicly fired, and whoever else was involved should be fired. They are grossly unqualified for their position at best. At worst, they're working for the enemy from within. Now, in this case, within about 48 hours, DHS reportedly backtracked. They've apparently placed this officer back on active duty. But we still need clarity as to how exactly this happened. Actually, the fact that they put him back on. Back on duty after 48 hours. Somebody I was talking about, I posted about this one Exodus, and there were people trying to defend the administration, saying, oh, no, it's fine. They put him back on duty. That makes it worse. Okay, so they. They. After 48, after two days, they just put him back on duty. So then why did they. Why was their first instinct to call, to condemn his behavior? So what you're telling me is that. So they conducted a review and then they. So before they even reviewed what happened, they put out a statement saying it was unacceptable and beneath the standards of ice. How could. So you're telling me before there was any review, you had no clue, you hadn't even looked at the video yet, and you just immediately, based on what the media said, you said, oh, yeah, Well, I mean, if you guys are saying that, clearly, it must have been unacceptable behavior. That makes it worse. So for the past several days, mobs of antifa rioters have been surrounding ICE facilities, particularly in Portland and Broadview, Illinois. They've surrounded multiple ICE vehicles in order to disrupt operations. If we're going to stop these people from continuing to commit acts of terrorism, every federal agent needs to have assurances that they're not going to be punished for doing their job. Now, to be sure, the Trump administration has put out several statements indicating that they intend to implement a full on crackdown. The Attorney General, for example, put out this statement, quote, I've witnessed the continued onslaught of violence perpetrated against ICE officers across our country. The Department of Justice will not stand idly by in the face of such lawlessness. At my direction, I am deploying DOJ agents to ICE facilities and wherever ICE comes under siege to safeguard federal agents, protect federal property, and immediately arrest all individuals engaged in any federal crime. I'm also instructing the Joint Terrorism Task Force across the country to disrupt and investigate all entities and individuals engaged in acts of domestic terrorism. And for his part, Donald Trump posted this message on Truth Social. Quote, he says that he's, he says that he's directing troops to war ravaged Portland as well as every other ICE facility that's under siege. And he states that, quote, I am also authorizing full force if necessary. Well, that's the right language, but in practice you have to wonder what it actually means. I mean, there's been undeniable pattern of tough sounding statements, but without the follow through. This was a post from Pam Bondi just a couple of weeks ago, for example, quote, if you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. Well, so much for that. What she really meant was, if you touch any law enforcement officer, we'll come after the officer. You know, If CNN and ProPublica are upset about it, then the, then we'll come after the officer. All this is to say we are well past the point where we can be impressed with, you know, strongly worded tweets and letters and statements and all that. You have to actually start making arrests, like mass arrests. Why have we not seen any of that at all, period? I mean, we've heard about it, we've heard about it that it might happen. Have we seen any footage, anywhere at all, period, of, of leftist insurrectionists being rounded up en masse and arrested? Has it happened at all? Anywhere at all? They need to hunt down and arrest all of the leftist terrorists who are visibly on camera openly committing federal crimes. It wouldn't even require a January 6th style dragnet. They wouldn't need to distribute wanted posters or anything like that. These people are uploading the footage of their own crimes in real time. They're Advertising it. They're saying, hey, look at all these crimes we're committing, guys. Isn't this great? Here's just one example. It was uploaded by a communist named Kat Ab Abu Ghuzela in Broadview, Illinois. She used to work as a propagandist for Media Matters before she became a politician. So, you know, a lateral move in terms of being a propagandist. And in this video, she and many other people are deliberately blocking a federal vehicle on the road. Watch. Now, among other things, this is an obvious threat to the safety of the federal officials in that car as well as anyone they might be transporting. The communists have frozen the car in place so that anyone can take a shot at them. You know, anything could happen at that point. Now that you're surrounded by a vehicle. We've seen this. Anything could happen. You got a leftist with a sniper rifle like the one opened fire on an ICE facility just a few days ago. So the necessary response here by ICE is to keep driving. You know, you don't. They shouldn't have to wait until they get shot. When a mob surrounds your car on the street, they are kidnapping you. By definition, you're being held against your will. You're being prevented from going anywhere. And the appropriate response when a mob tries to kidnap you is to use any force necessary to escape. When a mob surrounds you, you are not under any moral or legal obligation to comply with their demands. You should leave. You should escape by whatever means necessary. Whatever you have to do to get out is what you should do. If the mob gets hurt in the process, that's their own fault. They chose to throw themselves in front of a moving vehicle. They have nobody to blame but themselves. And this should be obvious, but that didn't happen here, presumably because the agents were worried that, you know, Pam Bondi might ruin their lives. And they still doesn't address the question of why, you know, Kat Abu Ghazella and the rest of the mob are walking free at the moment. Why is it they're all on camera? Why aren't they all arrested right now? We actually need an answer to that. Everybody just in that video alone, surrounding a law enforcement vehicle and preventing them from leaving, that's a crime. You're not allowed to do that. So why is it that. Why have we not rounded up every single person on. On video there? Why are they all not currently, as we, as we speak, in solitary confinement in a federal prison? Why, if it was Good enough for January 6th defendants, including grandmothers with terminal cancer who never bothered a Single federal employee. It's good enough for these terrorists. What the hell do you think would have happened in the reverse? What would happen if Biden, if those were right wing protesters, upset about, you know, whatever, upset about immigration, surrounding a law enforcement vehicle like that, what do you think could happen? Do you think any of them are walking free right now at all? It's also good enough for, you know, this morbidly obese woman who was blocking an ICE vehicle. Watch. You can do that in the car. You're going to handcuffs, too. Can you have identification to arrest someone, please?

B
I'm sorry. Why are you touching me? You're assaulting me. You are assaulting me. Why are you assaulting me? This is assault. You are assaulting me. No, you are. That is assault. Did you read the other person her rights?
- [20:28]
A
Were you going to read her her rights now? Again, as entertaining as this footage is, she should have been arrested. I'm not exactly sure where this was shot, but she was clearly obstructing a federal law enforcement vehicle. And yet instead of an arrest, she got her first cardio workout in very, very long time. So what's the DOJ's excuse here? How can the administration call Antifa a domestic terror organization, and then ignore the fact that these people are being caught on film, in some cases filming themselves as they commit federal crimes? Is that what full force means? I mean, as best I can tell, full force means. I mean, so far it has meant that, you know, the administration is going to deploy people around these, these federal buildings, and then those people are going to stand there and just be harassed and threatened and, and only. And every once in a while, maybe they'll make an arrest. In fact, they'll allow the insurrectionists to push up against the officers, make handgun gestures towards them. The only response from the officers in many cases is to walk backwards. This footage is from Katie Davis, Court at the Post Millennial, from yesterday afternoon in Portland, Oregon, as, as well as Saturday Night Watch. We simply cannot allow hundreds of leftists to gather outside of a federal facility. Leftists, many of whom are in or in an organization that the White House has just labeled a domestic terrorist organization. A label that so far has been totally meaningless, absolutely meaningless. They've done nothing with that label except to just say it. But we can't allow them to stand in the middle of the street and repeatedly make physical contact with officers while threatening them like this. Particularly when these leftists belong to, again, a domestic terror organization. By your own testimony, it's not remotely sufficient to arrest one or Two of them, when they throw a brick or something like that, the crowd is providing cover for the attacker. They are all complicit. They're blocking traffic. They're part of an unruly mob. They should be arrested, all of them. Now, statements are not good enough. For their part, Democrats aren't simply issuing statements. They're killing conservatives and Christians. They're shooting at ICE agents and dragging them underneath cars. And as all this is going on, Democrats are deliberately inciting more violence. Gavin Newsom's press account just posted this message, for example. It says, quote, stephen Miller is a fascist. Now, they have many more posts like this. Just a couple of weeks after a prominent Christian conservative was shot by a leftist who wrote, hey, fascist, catch on a bullet. Here they are labeling Donald Trump's chief advisor a fascist. Why are they doing that? Because they want him dead. They want a leftist to take him out. I mean, it really is as simple as that. Because, by the way, as much as we say that, you know, the assassination of Charlie Kirk was backfired on the left, because now you have a million more Charlie Kirks. And in a sense, of course, that's true that, that people are, you know, outraged and motivated on the right in a way that they never have been. But in another sense, as I've been saying this whole time, the reality is that Charlie Kirk is gone now. He was a, among other things, a very, very effective fighter, and he's gone. And so there are plenty of people on the left who look at it as. It doesn't backfire at all. It's actually very effective. Take out Stephen Miller. You know, that's. I mean, that's basically what Gavin Newsom's calling for in this environment, without calling him a fashion, you are right up to the line of just calling for someone to, hey, take this guy out. And they're not worried about, oh, well, now we're gonna have a million more Stephen Millers. Because the way they look at it is, well, no, now we have zero Stephen Millers. You take them out now, there's none left, actually. I mean, if you're a demonic, evil person and you have no fundamental problem with. With. With, you know, with murder, which these people don't, then you see assassination as a really useful and effective tool. And that's the way that they look at it now. When Luigi Mangione killed the health care CEO, they're not worried about, well, now we're going to have a million more healthcare CEOs rising up. No, it's like we don't like that guy. And he's gone now we're just going to kill him. That's the way they look at it. The point of calling people Nazis is to justify their murder. That's the point of calling them fascists. The point of using these labels. At this point, everyone, including federal prosecutors, the doj, should stop pretending otherwise. It's never been more apparent that the goal of leftism is the extermination of conservatives, using lawfare and violence if necessary. The New York Times just ran this obituary from for rather Assata Shakur, who's the Black Liberation army terrorist who murdered a New Jersey State Trooper in 1977, only to be busted out of jail by her Fellow Communists in 1979, at which point she fled to Cuba. And here's the New York Times headline on the obituary of a. Of a. Someone who's convicted and who first, who, there's no question, committed first degree murder against an innocent person. Never had any remorse for it, was never held accountable or was held accountable, but then escaped. Here's the headline, quote, assata Shakur dies at 78. Convicted revolutionary found refuge in Cuba. Yeah, she's a convicted revolutionary, not a convicted cop killer and a terrorist who remained on the FBI's most wanted terrorists most wanted list until the day she died. No, her only crime is being too revolutionary. That's what the left thinks of law enforcement. It's what they think of human life. None of it matters to them. And now they're admitting it as plainly as they possibly can. The Chicago Teachers Union agrees. They're also on board with murder in the name of black liberation. This is a union that represents roughly 30,000 teachers who teach hundreds of thousands of students in public school. And here's what they wrote. Quote, rest in power, rest in peace. Assata Shakur. Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter. A fierce writer, a revered elder of black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live on in our struggle. Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that it is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and we must support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains. This is the teacher's union. Not even subtly, this is just full on celebrating a woman who committed first degree murder. And this is not some fringe group. This is not antifa. This is not. I'm not pulling a comment from, you know, Blue Sky. This is the teachers union saying this. It's mainstream. This is the modern left. It's what it always was really. But the subtlety is all gone. Now they want conservatives dead. They don't have a problem with murder as long as it's someone they don't like. That's why they celebrated what happened to Charlie Kirk. It's why they're glorifying this terrorists. That's why they call conservatives Nazis and fascists. And it's why they're doing everything in their power to ensure that the federal government can't deport the millions of foreign criminals who currently live in the country. So this is a real insurrection we're dealing with here. And it's one that is not just happening on the fringes, but supported, promoted by one of the major political parties in this country and has effectively declared that it's not bound by the law. At the moment, it doesn't appear that we're really contending with the full gravity of this crisis. I mean, if we aren't prepared to actually use, we talk about full force. If we're not going to actually use full force against these insurrectionists, then the phrase should not be used in a statement. And then all we're doing is we're creating this, this no win situation where if some insurrectionist gets up, you know, gets a, bumps her elbow or gets a skinned knee, suddenly it's a huge national scandal. Now we got to toss the person under the bus. My fear right now is that the second any cop, ICE agent or National Guardsman really uses full force. When you talk about full force, it has not. We haven't seen it yet. We haven't seen it. We haven't seen anything close to that. We have not seen anything close to law enforcement agents using full force against the insurrectionist threat. The second it happens, that is that legal and justified violence is used by an authorized agent against a criminal terrorist. That's what we're talking about. My fear is the second it happens, he'll be stabbed in the back the same way that Chauvin was, the same way that this ICE officer was. You need to have the stomach for the insane outrage cycle that will inevitably follow from any use of force, whether full or not. So far we haven't actually seen the military law enforcement go on the offense against these terrorists. They're mostly instructed to show up and just stand there while they get harassed and assaulted by the mob. That needs to change. The left has laid out the ground rules for all out warfare. They're going to continue to test this administration until they make a choice. Do we all have to endure several more years of terrorism in which antifa terrorists are allowed to subvert the rule of law and the will of the voters. Or are we actually going to treat these terrorists like terrorists? That's the choice this administration now faces, and we can't afford for them to make the wrong one. Let me paint a picture.

The answer isn't to retreat. It is not to just do less. The answer is to show up everywhere, to make our voices louder than ever, to push out more content, more truth, more breaking news, more investigative journalism, fighting harder than ever before.

All right, we'll get into the headlines. Actually there won't be any daily cancellation today. I want to spend a little more time on some of these headlines. So and a little more time as we spend on the the opening monologue. So a little different format today. Let's. Okay, well I want to start with this. So this is obviously horrific atrocity that happened. Here's the latest, the latest on the latest mass shooting. At least four victims have died from Daily Wire. At least four victims have died and multiple people are injured after shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. According to police, the shooter drove his vehicle through the front doors of the church before opening fire. Suspect was later killed in a firefight with police bringing the total dead to at least 5. The current status of the injured victims is unknown. The church fire was likely started by the shooter according to police chief. The police chief, although I saw, I don't to this point, I don't think we know exactly how the fire was started but that it was started by the shooter. President Trump released a statement on the shooting saying that he had been briefed and to pray for the victims and their families. Police have identified the shooter as a 40 year old man from Burton, Michigan. Shooter was a US Marine veteran who served in Iraq from 2004 to 2008. Drove his Chevy Silverado into the church before opening fire on congregants with a semi automatic rifle and set fire to the church. So it's obviously an awful horrific atrocity and tragedy, yet more innocent people slaughtered in a house of worship. I, you know, and I've always known Mormons to be really Kind and generous people. It's always been my experience. Now, of course, this would be terrible no matter who was being targeted, but it's horrible to see this happening in the, in the Mormon community. As for motive, as far as I've seen, we don't know yet this is not an attack to this point, from what I've seen, that has an obvious political motive. I've seen people on the left trying to claim that it's right wing violence because the guy has an American flag on his truck. You know, there are two American flags on his truck. So they're saying, well, that means it's right wing. Which, by the way, it's pretty revealing on their part that if someone has an American flag, oh, they must be right wing. They did the same thing with the Charlie Kirk shooting where the second we found out that this guy, you know, apparently came from a stable family with both parents. As soon as they saw that, they said, oh, it's got to be right wing. So talk about telling on yourself. But then I've seen people on the right saying that it's left with violence because allegedly, according to pictures that are circulating, he had an anti Trump sign in his front yard. I'm not sure which is true, I don't think, or if any, or if either of those options are true. I don't think either group generally is known to have a particular grudge against Mormons necessarily. So an attack on a Mormon church is, is not, you know, it's not like someone killing Charlie Kirk where, where you can say, okay, well, there's one group that would obviously have the motive to do that very clearly. There's one group with a political motivation. There's one group that wants this guy dead. And it's been very clear about that. So it's not exactly the same thing here. Maybe it was a personal grudge of some kind. Maybe it was something else. Yeah, we don't know. What it certainly was was an act of evil. And I wish that we would talk about it in those terms more rather than, as always happens, falling back on conversations about mental health. Now, of course, the person, the person who committed this unspeakable crime, we, we know based on the fact that they committed the crime, is not a mentally healthy person. Nobody who commits any violent crime is a mentally healthy person. And especially if you're killing random innocent people and some sort of mass shooting, mass attack. Yeah, obviously you're not a mentally healthy person by the standards, by normal standards. So we already know that. But just ending the conversation, there means that we're not getting to the core, core of the problem. And ultimately we're treating everything like, like an illness. I mean, you're really letting the person off the hook at the end of the day because you're saying that, oh, well, they're mentally sick. If only they had the right, the right combination of drugs would have solved this problem, but it would not have solved it because I don't care what alleged mental illnesses they suffered from. This is an evil person who chose to do this, chose to do, to, to commit an evil act. And that's the way that we should be talking about it. And we were talking about Portland a few minutes ago. Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, who I believe represents the Portland area, tried to disprove the claim that Portland is a war ravaged place, as Trump has called it. And she posted this, this is the thing that she posted. She said, and you can see the picture up on the screen, scenes from war ravaged Portland today. My message to Trump's troops. You are not needed, you are not wanted. Go home. And then you can see it's a picture of a, like a park. There's a playground, you know, there's a little jungle gym and some, a swing set there. And this, this is, I have to say, this is perhaps my favorite genre of liberal straw man, the one where they try to disprove the claim that some cesspool, blue city isn't a cesspool by posting a random photo of some, you know, 0.05 acre piece of land where someone isn't currently being killed or mugged. So they post a picture of like four blades of grass and they say, oh, you think this is a terrible city, huh? Well then, well, tell me then, why. Why isn't anyone currently overdosing in this picture? What do you say to that, big shots? Oh, you think this is a terrible city? Well, why was I able to find this one little square here where there isn't someone currently dead laying on it? It's actually very similar to what Pitbull owners do. They'll post a picture of a pit bull that isn't mauling a child in an attempt to prove that pit bulls aren't dangerous. As if the claim from pit bull critics is that literally all pit bulls are mauling children 100% of the time. So if you can find just one who isn't, then you've, you've disproven the claim. So, yes, there are spaces in Portland, here or there, where you might not be murdered or where you Might not trip over a junkie who's lying on the sidewalk and soiled pants. There are spaces, blips on the radar where that is the case. But generally, it's a horrifically awful place. Generally. Generally, it looks more like this. This was footage taken by independent journalist Kevin Dahlgren, and he posted this in response to this congresswoman. And I think this gives us a better snapshot of what Portland is really like. I say that to someone who's been to Portland. Take a look. Nobody cares about.

B
Absolutely. Reason I care about Phelas is that like, bro, everybody's targeting me on the side. That's weight. Stop being a loser over being Greek. You literally have to harvest God in order to censor me. You're allowed to donate on behalf of, not give it up.

A
He's having a rough day.
- [43:23]
B
I'm sorry to hear that.
- [43:25]
A
I'm sorry. So that is a much more accurate slice of life in Portland. And I'll tell you why it's more accurate. Because a crappy city can still have a small park where there aren't always crimes being committed. Like, even the worst cities might have a few spots here or there that at least look somewhat safe. But a good city, a nice city, a safe city will not have even one block taken over by drug addicts and lunatics who are talking to themselves. Right. That video, that second video. Now, to be fair, it looked like it was just one block. So you could, you could make the same case in the reverse. You could say that. Well, isn't that, that's just one block. Now, we already know that there are many other blocks in Portland that look exactly like that. But even if we didn't know that, we would know this is not a nice city. It's not a safe city. Because a nice and safe city would not have. Yeah, there wouldn't be a single block that looks like that. If you, I, I have lived in nice places. Safe. I live in one now. And you will not find a scene like that anywhere. Not anywhere. That's what makes it nice and safe. And I know that a lot of people are, you know, it's like Stockholm syndrome. And so people have just taken this as normal. And so most people think that, oh, well, you know, you got to put up with a certain amount of this. I mean, if you want to have a city, you got to have at least a few blocks where you've got drug addicts laying all over the place and it's like an open air drug den and you've got schizophrenic weirdos walking around yelling at the, the clouds and. Right. I mean, it's. Yeah. Gotta have a few blocks like that. No, you don't. You could have a city that has nothing like that anywhere. Actually, it's easy. Actually, it would be easy to get to not have that at all. Really easy. You know why? Because the people that are, you know, those, those people, like, they're, they're not, they're, they're not hard to find, they're not hard to round up. I mean, they're just lying there. And so you could ease it. Like these are people that are not fit to be in civilized society. It's really easy to just show up and round them all up, put them in prisons, put them in institutions, put them in insane asylums where they belong. Really easy to do. And it's a choice not to do it. And that's how you end up with cities like Portland. You ever wondered why elite athletes, business moguls and high performers are using Armor Colostrum?

That's a R M R A dot com Walsh last week we talked about the situation in Dearborn, Michigan, which has become, as we discussed, essentially a Middle Eastern Islamic capital right in the middle of the American heartland. And there's another video I want to play which again highlights this problem. But before I do, I want to respond to a few things because there's a lot of reaction to my segment last week, which now has like 600,000 views on YouTube and 16,000 comments and however many million more views on. On X. And a lot of comments obviously strikes a chord, not always a positive chord. Lots of people very upset with me. And two major themes emerged in the critical comments. The biggest theme, as you expect, is that I'm racist and I'm xenophobic and I'm Islamophobic and on and on and on. And look, if that's what you think, if that's the way you see it, I don't care. I'm not going to sit here and desperately try to convince you otherwise. I just don't care. I don't care that you think that of me. So if you are, and I know when I say that people will say, well, how could you? You're just going to let people. You're not going to. You're okay with people saying that? Yeah, they're going to say what they're going to say. If that's what you think of me, I don't care. I don't care that you think that of me. I'm not going to bother to try to disprove. Oh no, please don't. Please don't say that. What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm not xenophobic? I'm not doing that. Doesn't. Doesn't matter to me. That's fine. You can go ahead and say that I especially don't care because you're all a bunch of hypocrites and liars. All of you, all the people having a hissy fit over my commentary on this issue. You're all full of crap, every single one of you, and you know it. You tell me that I should embrace and celebrate the fact that American cities are being Islamicized. I should celebrate when American cities are taken over by Arab immigrants and next thing you know they're blasting the call to prayer at 5:30 in the morning and renaming streets after Muslims and the Muslim mayor is telling Christian citizens they aren't welcome in the city and all the rest of it, you think I should celebrate that or at least, at least accept it. Well, here's what I know and it's what you know and you know that I know it. Which is that if the exact same thing were happening in an Arab country, none of you would be celebrating it. None of you would be embracing that in the way that you want me to embrace this. The way, the way that you want all of us to embrace this. If Islamic culture and tradition were being pushed out of a Muslim country in favor of white Christians who were moving in and Christianizing and Westernizing the place, you would say that it was colonialism, it's imperialism, it's white supremacy and all the rest of it. If there's any Arabic country, if there's any Middle Eastern country that over time became significantly less Islamic and more Western and more Christian, you would openly lament that fact with no shame or embarrassment. You would see it as like self evident that that is a bad thing. Because you believe that Islamic countries have the right to preserve and protect their heritage and their culture. But you think that my country, that America has no such right. And that's why your opinion is less than worthless to me. Your opinion is like is is laying on the ground as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't mean anything to me. I mean, just to show you how absurd this is, okay, just to show you, there's a guy who responded to me on X, he posted this. Judging leaders by their religion, not their merit isn't patriotism, it's bigotry. America thrives on diversity, not fear. Now the guy who, who posted this is named Mansoor Ahmed Qureshi and he lives in Pakistan. So number one, we have a guy who doesn't even live in this country trying to tell us what makes America thrive. We got a foreigner in a country thousands of miles away trying to tell me an actual American about America. And there's a lot of this going on, right? A lot of the accounts that you see, especially on social media saying, let me tell you about America, let me tell you what America's really about. Oh, you don't understand America. So many of that commentary is coming from people who've never even stepped foot in this country. They're 7,000 miles away, like pontificating. I think I, I think I know what America is really about. The gall, the arrogance that I would never do in the other, the other way. I would never say to somebody in Pakistan, let me tell you what Pakistan's really about. Oh, that's not, I would never hear someone in Pakistan like giving their opinion about something. And then I say, well, that's not consistent with Pakistani values. What the hell do I know about Pakistan and why would I care? Like, that's your culture, you could do whatever you want with it. And, and also you live in Pakistan. How much diversity and tolerance do they have in Pakistan? Ahmed, how's it going over there with, with the diversity and the tolerance, huh? How's your anti bigotry campaigning going over there? How's that landing? How would you feel if I showed up in Pakistan with a mob of millions of white Christians, and we got to work to drive Islamic culture out of the country and replace it with our culture. How'd you feel about that? What if we did it? You know, we didn't take over the whole country, but we, we just. We picked out some big. Some enclaves here and there, increasing numbers of them, drove the, the Muslims out and, and brought in, imported a bunch of white Christians and created our, you know, little white Christian enclaves. How would you feel about that? How would Pakistan. How would, how would all the Pakistanis feel about it? How would they. How would they respond to that? How long would we all survive before we were rounded up and stoned to death? Not very long, I suspect. And you, Ahmed, would be at the front of the line holding the biggest rock, wouldn't you, While you're still giving your little speech about bigotry and hatred. You'd stone us to death for. For being too. For being too hateful. So I'm not going to be made to feel somehow guilty for wanting America to be American. I'm especially not going to be made to feel guilty about it by someone who definitely wants Pakistan to be Pakistani. I'm the one being consistent here, because I don't begrudge Pakistan being Pakistani. I don't begrudge Pakistan having a Pakistani culture. I don't. It's not the culture I want to live in. That's the point. It's not American culture. I don't want any part of it. But that's your thing. You can have that in your country. That's perfectly fine. I'm. I'm. I've been. I've been stridently against any attempt by Western countries to. Let's import democracy, let's import Western westernized concepts of freedom into these. I don't want that. I'm against it. I've always been against it. Because my point is, like, if you don't want democracy there, you don't have to have it. That's up to you. But guess what? I. I don't want Middle Eastern culture. I don't want it. American culture is not Middle Eastern culture, and that's not the culture that I want to live in. And that should not be the dominant culture in any community in this country, because this is America. Now. The other thing that I keep hearing is that our founding fathers value diversity, specifically when it comes to Muslims. And so I keep. I see there's like two or three quotes from, from, you know, the same two or three quotes I've seen circulating from. From Somebody back around George Washington talking about, mention mentioning Muslims. But all that proves is that the founders knew that Islam existed, which of course they did, and that they didn't want to oppress or persecute Muslims, which of course they don't. And they didn't. And I don't want that. They wanted religious liberty for everybody. Again, of course they wanted that. I also want that. But this was at a time when there were basically no Muslims actually here, aside from a small percentage of slaves who were Muslim. Mass migration from Arab countries was not a thing. What none of the founders ever, ever called for, what none of them could have even conceived, was the idea that millions of people from Arab countries would flood into our country and start taking over entire communities and creating Islamic enclaves in the middle of the United States. What was not conceived is that a formerly American Christian community would become an Islamic state capital in the middle of our country. They never called for that. They never condoned it. They never supported it. They never said anything that could even be remotely construed that way. They never considered it even a possibility that it could happen. So saying that we want Muslims, you know, we, we don't want to persecute anybody, including Muslims, that's that great. Agreed. But that is a far cry from saying, hey, let's import millions of. Of Arab people all at the same time and bring them into this country with their culture and just. And, and push out American culture and supplant it with, with Middle Eastern culture. And if you honestly think that's what the founding fathers had in mind, then you are just too stupid to even. It's like, I can't talk to you. We can't have a conversation. You're too dumb for it. And that brings us to the latest news out of Dearborn. Actually, this is from a few weeks ago. Somebody named Amy Mech posted this clip of the Islamic police chief of Dearborn. This again is from a few weeks ago. But just to, you know, when we talk about supplanting. Right. This is. This again. This is not. And you could strawman it all you want. This is. No one is complaining about, oh, we have. There are Muslims who live here. I, I got no issue with the fact that Muslims live in the country. I got no issue with. The issue is always, okay, you live in this country, assimilate into our culture. You do not supplant our culture with yours. Okay? You cannot require us to assimilate to you. You assimilate to us. That's it. Pretty reasonable. I think that's pretty reasonable. But here's what's actually happening. And this is the. Again, the police chief of Dearborn describing it.

Listen to this wonderful wife, Deanna, a strong, proud Palestinian woman. When I joined the department, Dearborn's Arab American population was nearly 50%, yet less. Yet less than 3% of our police force reflected the community that we served. The department was not always welcoming to people who were different. Today, the Dearborn Police Department is the department that I wish I worked for when I first started my career. It's now a department that reflects and embraces the community it serves. With 45% of our officers being Arab American. It's a department that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals, including the right to wear a hijab, even when facing the justice system. It's a department that has taken meaningful steps to address historical inequity. Together, we've built a police department that values diversity, equity and respect. One that serves all of Dearborn with honor and integrity. I'm proud to serve as your chief of police.

A
Alhamdulillah. He says at the end there, that means all praise is due to Allah. That's a police chief in America giving praise to Allah during an official address to the public in uniform. So that's great. Right now, you're not allowed to have any problem. Who could possibly have an issue with that? Of course, every person. If you're not a Muslim and you see that you're, you're, you're. You find that unsettling. Everyone does. Every single one of us does. It's just that you're pretend. You're supposed to pretend. You don't. Meanwhile, he tells us that not long ago, 3% of the police force in the city was Arab. Now it's 45%. So tell me, how do you achieve that kind of demographic transformation in such a short amount of time? 3% to 45%. How do you do that? Well, you do it intentionally. That's how you do it. You do it by driving out the white Christians and replacing them with Arabs. You do it on purpose. That's the only way to do it. You cannot do that any other way than by saying, this is the result we want and we're going to do whatever is necessary to make that result happen. And that's what they did. And they're not even hiding it. I'm not saying. This is not, I'm not revealing anything here. They're very clear about it. They, they, they prioritized Arabs in the hiring process, pushed out the white Christians. And this is an intentional effort to Islamicize the police force. And he admits that proudly. It's a great thing, he says, because now Arabs in the community have a police force that looks like them. And this is the kind of thing that's considered acceptable for every group on the planet, again, except for white Americans, especially white Christians in America. Every other group can just like, openly say, hey, I want to be around people who look like me and are from my culture. And I want institutions to be run by people from my culture. Every other group, Every group on the planet can openly speak that way. And all of them do, all the time. We're the only ones who aren't allowed to. That's been the deal that's been the bargain for decades. And you notice the kind of circular logic that's at play here because. So they import Arabs into Michigan, and then they tell us that while there's so many Arabs here, you know, but, but, but now. But because, well, wait, we have a few Arabs now, but. So now we need a lot more. And the justification for importing more is always that, well, we've already imported them. So this is how it works. Like, you take a community that it's almost entirely white and Christian, and then you say, hey, we need to diversify. Let's import a few Arabs. Then once you import them, you say, hey, well, now that we have this minority group here, they should be more supported. So let's import some more for the sake of diversity. And then once you have a critical mass, you say, hey, well, there's so many of them here, they should be represented better. So let's start driving the white Christians out of positions of authority and installing them instead. And this continues exponentially until before long, the white Christian community has become. The formerly white Christian community has become an Arab Muslim community. That's the way it goes. And, and that's. That's the process. And all the while, Arab Muslims in America are allowed to say, hey, I want to be around other Arab Muslims. I want to. I want to. I want to have. I want my government to be run by people like me. This is what I want. They're allowed to say that. And if you're a white Christian, you say, well, you know what? I want people like me running the government. That is unspeakable bigotry. How dare you. So this. This is the. This is the double. This is the. You know, you can't. Well, it's not even a double standard, actually. It's. It's a. Actually, it's Like a pretty consistent standard that is applied where we, where they say, okay, well here, if you're not white Christian, here's what you're allowed to say. But if you are, these are all the things you're not allowed to say. And it's a standard that's applied pretty consistently. Which is why, by the way, I have to admit I was wrong about something. I, I confess that when conservatives would fret about Sharia law coming to America, I didn't really share their concerns for a lot. You know, actually I thought it was kind of a boomer cringe thing for a long time. It's kind of thing you see 65 year olds posting about on Facebook and. Yeah, because I thought, well, Sharia law is the least of our concerns given that the leftist project is the opposite of Sharia law. I mean, it's the extreme opposite, right? They want naked cross dressers running around. They want men in women's rooms. It's the opposite of Sharia law. The, the, the, the extreme opposite. But I was wrong because it is, it is coming here through mass migration, obviously. Right. It's like pretty obvious that's, that's how these things come here, is through, is through mass migration. Now, are we going to have a Sharia law federal government anytime soon? No, but what you end up with are these communities where again, you, you, you push everybody out, you import your people and now it's, you know, now you have Pakistan right in the middle of the country, just like we have Somalia right in the middle of the country. This is not assimilation. This was never supposed to be the bargain. This was not supposed to be the deal. But it's what has happened and we should not feel any shame about protesting it and speaking honestly about it. All right, that'll do it for the show today. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed. Hey there. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. And I'm Georgia Howe and we're the hosts of Morning Wire.
