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?
