A
A leftist woman obstructed federal immigration enforcement, then hit an officer with her suv, at which point the federal agent shot her. Now the Democrat governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, is calling on the Minnesota National Guard to commit insurrection against the federal government, against which he says his state is at war. Where to begin? The federal agents were entirely in the right. Everyone obstructing law enforcement, from the woman in the SUV all the way to Governor Walz are entirely in the wrong. We will get to the video evidence. But even though the woman in the SUV was entirely in the wrong and even though her death is entirely her own fault, I can't help but feel sorry for her. I can't. Because this is the inevitable consequence of years and years of Democrat sanctioned anarchy. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. The whimsy of history is a sight to behold. You know, in the unfolding of Providence, there are winks, there are hints of irony and levity and comedy, one of which came out of Governor Walz yesterday. Because we've been told for years and years and years that January 6th was the insurrection. Which it wasn't. It was some grannies taking selfies in the Capitol Rotunda and a horn hat guy getting a private tour by police of the Capitol. Not exactly an insurrection. However, one day after January 6, on January 7, 2026, Tim Walls literally called for insurrection. He called on Minnesota National Guardsmen to violently oppose federal law enforcement, which is as clear cut a case of insurrection as there can be. And Walls maybe should be arrested for it. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Policy Genius.

Policygenius.com knowles an awful scene unfolded. Everyone agrees it's an awful scene, but people can't quite agree on why it was an awful scene. It was this scene in which a lady, a middle aged, 30 something, 40 something year old woman, leftist, I think, a member of the LGBT lmnop, radical left activist, obstructing law enforcement, but by all appearances a kind of a bourgeois white lady. We're not talking about, you know, a member of an antifa cell or something. We're talking about a bourgeois white lady who was convinced that it was a good idea to go obstruct federal law enforcement in her suv, allows things to spin out of control and she ends up hitting an ICE agent with her car, at which point the ICE agent shoots her and now she's dead. And it's very sad. It is very sad, but why is it sad? What was the worst part of this? What was the thing that went wrong? Here was the thing that went wrong, as the left contends, and some of the squishes will contend that the ICE agent defended his own life, that the ICE agent, I'll even, I'll say it in a less charged way than that. Was the issue that the ICE agent shot the woman who was obstructing law enforcement? Or was the sad part that this lady put herself in this position in the first place? Well, let's look at the video evidence. We have slow mo video evidence here. There's one agent who is at the side of this woman's car at the driver's side door because this woman had been blocking the street, obstructing law enforcement, doing something certainly illegal. And so the agents approach her car and you see the agent there on the side. She starts backing up while the agent is reaching into her car. And then there's another agent in front of the car and she drives into him and he shoots her. And this is the contested video. So let's. Hold on, go back, go back. So you can see here let's just look at it almost frame by frame. The agent on the side of the car is blocking from view the agent in front of the car. But you can kind of see him making out there. Okay, so. So the woman starts driving. He shoots. Go back. I wanna see it again. Go all the way back to the beginning. There we go. She backs up. There it is. Pause it right there. The woman backs up. So what the opponents of law enforcement are saying, namely the entire left, all the way up to the Democrat mayor and governor, what they're saying is she was trying to get away. She was just backing up to try to get away. However, go back to the very beginning of the video. Go back to the very beginning. Okay, so she's pulling back. Play it. Pulling back. And here she goes. Stop. She's pulling back. She starts accelerating. As she's accelerating, you can see from the tires, you can see from the car, she is driving straight into this officer. The slow mo video shows it to you now. I guess a rejoinder to that would be. Well, you know, things are just happening in the moment. It's very fast. You know, this woman didn't have the clarity of mind, the precision to look at exactly where her tire was. Yeah, that's true of the officer too. That's true of the officer too. Even if it had been the case that this woman were not driving directly into him, it's not good to get that close. It's not good for there to be ambiguity for the officer. Because. And this is the part that the left doesn't seem to understand, Federal law enforcement, law enforcement, generally, law enforcement officers have no obligation to let people run them over. I think some on the left really believe. Well, no, the officer, look, he. He needs to wait until the car. Until the tire marks are up to his chin, and then maybe the officer can shoot, then maybe he can protect himself. But until if the tire isn't directly over his nose with all of the rest of his bones crushed, he has no right. That's not true. That is not true. Law enforcement officers take on a very dangerous job every day. And it's a thankless job. And they're not paid all that much relative to other professions. And they do it. Cause it's public service and it's an essential job. You can't have a country without that. And they are under no obligation to let people run them over. This is even. You hear this from the left a lot. Go back. I'm not done with that video. Go back to that video. You hear this from the left. A lot you hear this from the left. They say, well, why didn't the cop just shoot her in the leg? Why didn't he shoot him in the arm? That's not how it works. Anyone who says that has obviously never handled a firearm, doesn't know anything about a firearm. If you are going to point a deadly weapon at someone and fire, you're gonna shoot to kill. You have to do that. That's how it works. It's not a video game. This isn't a movie. That's how real life works. And federal agents have families. Federal agents have kids. Federal agents are the good guys. They're not the ones obstructing law enforcement. They're not the ones harboring criminals. They're not the ones defending cartels and drugs and rapists and murderers. They're the ones protecting the innocent people. And they expose themselves to a lot of violence. And they are under no obligation. In fact, they have a responsibility. Part of their job is to shoot people who try to run other people over. That's part of their job. They have to do that. So you see here. Play the whole video one more time through. You see, she backs up. There is the agent. There's the agent in front. And she accelerates into the agent as she's accelerating into him. He pulls his gun. Then something happens and he fires. And then she drives off. She's dead. Now take me to the next video. This is the front angle video, which I think clears up all confusion. This is care of ABC5. So you see, it's the same exact scene. This woman's blocking law enforcement. And then there it is. And there it is. She hits him. Take it back to the beginning. In case you didn't see it. Take it back to the beginning. So the question is not just was this woman driving at him, was the angle such that she might have hit him, she hit him. He was hitting. If a police officer is hit by a car, if there is a driver who is driving a car who hits a police officer, that officer has not only a right but a responsibility to stop that person. There is no ambiguity here, no ambiguity at all. Final little piece of evidence. From what we have so far, you can see where the shot went through. It went through the windshield. If the argument being made by the opponents of law enforcement, the defenders of the criminal cartels and the illegal aliens, if the argument that's being made is, he shot her through the side, he didn't have to. She wasn't coming at him. He wasn't in Front of the car. That's a magic bullet then, isn't it? The only way the bullet goes through the windshield is if there it is. You can see it right there. Is if she's driving at him. And if she's driving at him, he has not only a right but a responsibility to shoot her dead. That's the sad fact. I'm not celebrating that she's dead. It's very sad that she's dead. No man is an island entire unto himself. Each man's death diminishes me. It's very sad that she's dead, but it's right that she's dead. The officer did nothing wrong. And I think the vice president was very clear about this. J.D. vance posted something or made a comment. Do we have it? Do we have the vice president's comment? I have it on my phone. This is what he said. What he said was, I'm pulling it up here. I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president and the entire administration stands behind them. Trust to the radicals, assaulting them, doxxing them and threatening them. Congratulations. We're going to work even harder to enforce the law. Spot on. Three cheers for J.D. vance. Absolutely right thing to say. I don't wanna see a single Republican counter signaling this. I don't wanna see a single conservative counter signaling this. I don't want this to be a partisan thing. You can say it's sad that this woman's dead and it was the right thing to shoot her. I want anyone who counter signals this. You're not on my team. You're not on my team. You're useless. What was the woman doing? Here's further. Beyond the shot through the windshield, beyond the video evidence of the car hitting the officer, beyond the tires, obviously going into the officer. Here are the witnesses who are on the women's side on cnn, a network that is on the woman's side admitting that she was obstructing law enforcement.

I heard the commotion, I heard whistles, which is a common sign of ICE is nearby. And I went out onto my front porch. I didn't even have shoes on. And within, within 60 seconds, everything had already gone down. But there was a. There was a. An ICE convoy that was. That seemed to be stuck. And then there was a protester who was blocking traffic so they couldn't progress. And she was totally peaceful. And ice, it seemed completely unorganized. They didn't really know what they were doing. They were screaming at her to move, move, move. And then they approached her vehicle aggressively and grabbed tried to open her door and then that's when she got spooked and she reversed her vehicle to turn her wheels to try to escape. And that's when an ICE agent stepped in front of her vehicle and said stop. And then, I mean she was already moving and then point blank shot her through her windshield.

A
Most of what that woman just said wasn't true and was contradicted by what we just saw with our own eyes in slow motion. However, the very argument she's making justifies the cop, the ICE agent shooting the woman. We'll get to how in a second. First, I want to tell you about PureTalk.

This woman obviously on the obstructor's side on the woman who's dead side, on the side of illegal aliens and criminal cartels against law enforcement. She goes on cnn, this woman, she was peaceful. She was obstructing law enforcement. That's what she was there. She was there to park her SUV in the middle of the street, stop law enforcement from arresting criminals. But she was entirely peaceful. That's not peaceful and she doesn't know that. The problem is this woman on cnn, probably the CNN host and certainly the woman who was killed, they don't know that. But it's not peaceful. When you park your car in the middle of the street, that's an act of violence or that's an act certainly conducive to violence. Imagine, let's just say the most extreme example. An ambulance is driving by, has to get on the way to the hospital, and has got a person who's gonna die in three minutes. But the ambulance can't get through. Cause there's a car blocking the street. You are committing an act of violence against that person. Let's say this is a much more practical analogy. In fact, this is literally what happened. Let's say there were criminals running around and law enforcement is trying to arrest the criminal to protect the public and uphold the political order. And you have a car parked in the middle of the street. That is an act of violence. That's not peaceful, that's very dangerous. Then this lady says, and the woman was unarmed. Pretty sure she was armed. You know how I know that? Because she was driving an suv. If you drive an suv, like not just a car, but a big car into somebody, you're armed. That's a deadly weapon. When you run someone over, that's an act of violence. That is going to kill that person. Most likely, yeah. She was just there. Look, she was just out there peacefully obstructing law enforcement and stopping. Blocking traffic in the middle of the street and trying to run someone over. And then she gets the details wrong where she says, and this woman, you know, she was already driving when an officer jumped in front of her car. We just saw in slow motion. That's not what happened. But I guess the saddest part to me is how honest she's being. She gets the details wrong, but she's honest. And she honestly sincerely believes that you can just obstruct law enforcement and block traffic and drive into cops. And that that's totally fine. She really believes that. And I think I know why she believes that. But it's not just her. Well, actually, I can't tell. Is this lady. There's another witness who was going viral on TikTok. And I can't tell if it's the same woman because they look kind of similar because all these people of a certain political persuasion, of a certain social, they all kind of look the same. But anyway, here's another witness, or maybe the same witness, I don't know, describing the scene.
- [18:24]
B
They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding. I talked to another guy who was driving behind her. But she was. She was very at. She was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was. What she was set out to do. And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.
- [18:49]
A
Yeah. So it looked like she was impeding ICE vehicles, definitely.
- [18:53]
B
Yeah, that was her goal.
- [18:54]
A
Yeah. Yeah, that was her goal. Her goal was to obstruct law enforcement, which is a crime, and to block traffic, which is also against the law. Yeah, that was her goal, and she was very successful at it. You don't get to do that. And the reason that the woman who's dead and these people who are defending her think that you get to do that is because Democrat politicians allowed people to do that and even encouraged people to do that. This, to me, is the political tragedy of the whole thing. You have a Democrat who was justly, entirely, justly killed by a law enforcement officer because of what her own politicians encouraged her to do. That's the tragedy of it. The thing that Democrats thought was giving them a lot of political power, namely riotous mobs in the streets is killing the Democrats now. Now that the Republicans are in power and they're not putting up with it as they should not put up with it, as they cannot put up with it. That's the political tragedy. If you're this woman, this dead woman, and you don't. I mean, you're clearly. You have some problems. You're obstructing law enforcement. You're willing to. This woman apparently had children. I think she was a lesbian. And she had children with a woman. Somehow, I don't know. I'm not gonna get into it. That's not exactly pertinent to this story. But you have something resembling a family at least. You have interests, you have a community. You have things you care about. And you go out there, you commit crimes, you obstruct law enforcement, you drive your car into a cop, what do you think's gonna happen? You don't know what's gonna happen. I guess you think you're gonna get away with it. You're willing to set risk, all those wonderful things that I just described, for what? To protect criminal Somalis who shouldn't be here, to protect criminal Venezuelans who came across with Trende Aragua to protect face tattooed Latin American drug trafficking, human trafficking, gangsters. And you're willing to allow your children to grow up without a mother because of that? You're willing to lose your life because of that. It's so profoundly stupid, so profoundly disordered, so profoundly sad. And it's not just her fault. Because if you're this woman and you watched the George Floyd riots and you watched the liberal media, excuse them, pretend they didn't really happen. Say they were peaceful. You watched Democrat politicians encourage them in many cases, join them, in some cases bail out the rioters. You watched Kamala Harris raise money to bail out the rioters in your state, in your city. And you watch that. You, you would certainly come to the conclusion that it's totally fine to block traffic, to obstruct law enforcement, maybe to drive your car into a cop, you would come to that conclusion. And when a new administration came about that actually took the law seriously, when a real law enforcement officer comes out there with real political backing from Washington and does what he's supposed to do and shoots you in the face because of it, you would be shocked, and you would have some right to be shocked because you had been failed by your political leaders for years. You had been scandalized by the anarchy and the lawlessness that the Democrats encouraged. And so I feel bad for you. I feel bad for this woman. Said a prayer for this woman. You should say a prayer for this woman, too. You can do all of that and should do all of that, while also recognizing that officer did nothing wrong. And had officers been allowed to do their jobs in recent years, not just in Minneapolis with the BLM riots, the Summer of Love, but in Kenosha, Wisconsin, all around the country, had officers been allowed to do their jobs, had the law been enforced in even the most basic of ways, crazy leftists and bourgeois liberal women and everything in between would not have come to the incorrect conclusion that you're allowed to block traffic and hit officers without consequences. Had BLM not happened and been encouraged by Dems, had all those riots not, there's a very good chance that woman would be alive today. That is the consequence of political scandal. That is the consequence of anarchy, lawlessness. Now, she was not the only woman. She was not the only person who was obstructing law enforcement. We'll get to that. And we'll get to Governor Tim Walls literally calling for insurrection. We'll get to all of that in one moment. First, though, I want to tell you about stash.

Investing involves risk offer is subject to terms and conditions Amid these ICE raids, amid the response to this woman being justly killed, you have leftists not learning their lesson at all. And one of them actually trying to grab the weapon of law enforcement. Let's see what happens. Those of you who are only listening, who are not watching right now, some lunatic guy goes up to, I don't know, National Guardsman, I guess, grabs his weapon, starts scruffling with him a little bit and then grabs his weapon. And the guy pulls up the weapon, shoots him at the face. Now, lucky for this guy, it was a paintball. It was, I don't know, whatever, it was some kind of color. It looked like the Indian feast of Diwali. Lucky for that guy could have just as easily have been led and the agent or the guardsman who fired would have been completely justified. You don't get to grab an officer's weapon. Why might one think it's okay to grab the weapon of a National Guardsman or law enforcement officer? Well, one of the inciting incidents for all of blm, for all of this leftist anarchy and rioting in recent years was the Michael Brown case where Michael Brown, this young thug who had just robbed a store, goes up, starts taunting a cop, then threatens a cop, then grabs a cop's weapon, reaches into a car, grabs the cop's weapon, the weapon actually discharges and still the cop doesn't kill him until he goes away. And then the thug turns around, comes back and starts charging the cop. And the way that that was rewritten by the media was that poor little child, Michael Brown, gentle giant, was executed in cold blood by a racist officer. He did nothing wrong. He had his hands up, he said, don't shoot. All of that completely made up. But if you are one of these guys, if you're one of these leftist activists in the streets and you learn that you get away with this stuff, first of all, if you're told that law enforcement is evil and racist and terrible, you need to stop them. If you're told by your politicians going back to Maxine Waters during Trump one to say, hey, go out there. If you see these Republicans in the street, you push back on them, you get in their face, you go to their homes, you stop them, you say, you're not welcome here. If you see the Michael Brown case, which helped kick off blm, and you say, oh, yeah, okay, you can go grab a cop's weapon and you're not at fault. If you get shot, you're gonna do it and then sooner or later you are gonna get shot and it's gonna be your fault. But I'm gonna feel bad for that person. Cuz I blame the Democrats too. I blame people like Tim Walsh. This is what Tim Walsh had to say about the incident.

C
I don't know what to tell you, and I don't quite know how to respond to the question, other than my primary responsibility as governor is the protection of the people of Minnesota. And you can be assured, whether it's the State Patrol or whether it's the National Guard, their deployment is there to protect Minnesotans from whatever it is. If it's an act of nature, if it's a global pandemic, or in this case, if it is a rogue federal agent, I don't know at this time. And I want to be very careful.
- [28:37]
A
You want to be very careful?
- [28:39]
C
Yes.
- [28:39]
A
I'm going to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to declare war on the federal government. But I want to be very careful and cautious here because I'm a very serious person. I'm a responsible person, unlike that insurrectionist Donald Trump. So because Donald Trump told people to peacefully protest around Washington D.C. on January 6th and then told some of the more eccentric ones to go home because of that, I totally oppose insurrection. Unless we are literally calling for troops to oppose the federal government. For those of you who are confused on the matter, maybe lib or two who are watching the show right now, Article 6, Clause 2 of the US Constitution, this Constitution, the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof and all Treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby. Anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. When Tim Walls says the Minnesota National Guard is there to protect people in the event of natural disaster or chaos or rioting or whatever, that's true. When he says, or to protect them from federal agents, that's not true. That is completely untrue. That would violate not merely the law and the American political tradition. That would violate the Constitution. That would violate the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. Either Tim Walls doesn't know anything, which is plausible, or Tim Walls is reckless and a traitor to his country. Either way, there is a strong case to be made that Tim Walls should be arrested for saying this. And I'm not one of these guys who says that we need to round up all of our political opponents. I'm really not, you know, I'm pretty actually moderate, relatively relative to both the left and the right with my rhetoric. I think there is a very strong case to be made that Tim Walsh should be arrested for saying this. By the way, he doesn't stop there.
- [30:40]
C
Well, I said this yesterday. We've never been at war with our federal government. I think in this case that the National Guard is their main mission. They have a dual mission. There's.
- [30:53]
A
We've never been at war with our federal government. Tim Walls here implying, insinuating, pretty much flatly stating that he views Minnesota as being at war with the federal government. It's not quite a firm declaration, but it's about as close as you can get. And he's the governor of Minnesota. He's declaring war on the government of the United States, and he's talking about calling up troops to fight the government of the United States. There is a special irony here, which is that Democrats just guffawed and howled and cheered because a statue of Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest Americans in history, was taken down in the US Capitol and replaced with someone no one's ever heard of. They said, that's right. Now, General Lee, by the way, who was an American patriot who defended his homeland, but who also helped to bring about peace and reconciliation in America and who was an American patriot as well. Lee comes down because he was a terrible, awful, evil insurrectionist. You're not allowed to declare war on the government in the United States. 150 years ago, sitting Governor Tim Walz, a man who was the most recent Democrat nominee for vice president, he was almost One heartbeat away from becoming the second woman president, Tim Walz as governor more or less declares war on the federal government and then begins to take actions to actually back that up. There actually is a good argument to arrest Tim Walz for a number of reasons because he was just caught in this fraud scandal and it looks like he's engaged in a cover, cover up of the fraud scandal with the Somalis and the welfare. But put that aside for a second, very strong argument to arrest him for this. And I know that the libs who whine about January 6th are not doing so in any kind of principled stance that liberals who say you can't question election results. After Al Gore held up the election in 2000, probably the most famous example of this, after Hillary Clinton denied her election result, after Stacey Abrams denied her election result, I know that Trump president principles play no role. And so I don't even wanna say the stupid thing about could you imagine if the roles were reversed? Ha ha. Could you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? But let's say the libs don't believe in any of these principles. Just as a matter of the law, just as a matter of the Constitution. Tim Walls is leading an insurrection, like a literal insurrection against the government of the United States. And I'm not saying that the federal government should arrest him. I haven't come to that conclusion. They should strongly consider it. Should strongly consider it. Okay, not just Walls. The mayor of Minneapolis has a less grave but more preposterous feckless response. Over the weekend, the United States military carried out a covert operation that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife. No American casualties, no leaks. The entire mission was over in just 88 minutes. Want to know how that actually happened? Watch as Mary Margaret Olihan takes you inside the intelligence, the planning and the execution of a real US Military operation carried out under cover of darkness. From months of CIA tracking to cyber operations that shut down power and air defenses, to helicopters delivering elite commandos into a fortified military base, this is not speculation. It's not punditry. It's a minute by minute account of how modern warfare actually works. How to take out A Dictator in 88 Minutes premieres today at 11am Eastern. Dailywire.com Check it out.

For more than 200 years, the United States military has lived by a very simple doctrine. We run the Western hemisphere. And on January 3rd, the United States military unambiguously reminded the world that they are still in charge. This is Caracas, Venezuela. On the night that elite US Special Forces team captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife in the riskiest operation since SEAL Team 6 killed Osama bin Laden. The mission lasted 88 minutes. It was widely considered flawless.

This was one of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.

I want to tell you my favorite comment yesterday from Captain Danger 13, who says, I thought the 12 days of Christmas were the days leading up to Christmas this whole time. I think many people think that because our debased, secular, materialist culture tells you to take down your Christmas decorations at 9 o' clock in the morning on December 26th at the latest on New Year's Day. No. Christmas is a season, baby. It's a season, not just a day. There's the octave of Christmas. There are the 12 days of Christmas up to Twelfth Night. That's where you get the play by William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night. Then that ends with the Feast of the Epiphany. And then traditionally, you actually keep your decorations up even longer, which is what I'm doing here. That's what I'm doing on my set. February 2nd, baby. Candlemas. That's what we're doing. Turning from the governor of Minnesota to the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry. Jacob Fry, who, despite his white complexion, heretofore I almost exclusively hear him speaking Somali. He had this to say about the incident to ice. Get the out of Minneapolis. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite. Somebody is dead. Uh, okay, let me. I. I don't only want to say negative things. So let me. You know, you want to start out. You want to say the nicest thing you possibly can. And I guess the nicest thing I can possibly say about Jacob Fry is he speaks English. Hey, that was a surprise, wasn't it? Apparently, the mayor of Minneapolis actually speaks English. Because when I saw he held this press conference, I expected him to come out and say, giti Gucci, cha te cho tehensolo. But he didn't say that. What he said was actually even more embarrassing and degrading for our country. Because you know why? Actually, it's not even just the vulgarity. It's because it was so millennial coded. Get the F out of here. You can tell I'm really serious because I said the F word. Come on. It's how whine the tone that wine. Get out. I'm serious. I'm not joking around anymore, man. I'm Jacob Fry. I'm the mayor of Minneapolis. Sorry, sorry. I know I was supposed to speak English for this. Get the F out. Come on. Chris Murphy did this. He's the Democrat senator from California or sorry, from Connecticut. And he did this one day. Takes a picture of video, his sleeves rolled up, ties loosened. He says, I had a really bad effing day. It's so effing bad. Oh, he's serious. He said the F word. Oh, he must be. And he's whining. Wow. He's so raw and sensitive and emotional. It's rough. Cause I'm a millennial, you know? And I don't want to just. I have an appropriate love of my generation as I have an appropriate love of my own. But I have to be honest here. And Jacob Fry, he's an elder millennial. He's on the border of Gen X and millennial. But this is so gay and lame. And so. And I don't mean, you know, I'm not saying LGBT or home. I'm talking, like, in the middle school sense. It's, like, so gay and lame. Get the F out. Get the F out right now. You think you're the mayor of Minneapolis, buddy? First of all, you have no control over your city at all. Your city is frequently on fire, and it's run by Somali gangs who are sending money to Al Shabaab. So you're not even really the mayor of Minneapolis. What you are certainly not is the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security or the President of the United States. You're nobody. You're not even allowed to speak your own language most of the time. That's how impotent you are. And you seem impotent when you speak this way. Get the F out. I'm serious, man. This is the consequence of a generation raised on Jon Stewart and John Oliver. Especially Jon Oliver. At least John Stewart's pretty funny sometimes. Stephen Colbert can be funny when he wants to be, which is not recently. But John Oliver. John Oliver is the perfect example of this, because John Oliver is completely untalented, has never had a thoughtful or funny thing to say ever, once in his life. But he seems like he's funny because he has a funny accent and he says the F word. And that is the substitute for jokes or thoughts or points. That's what Mayor Fry's doing here. And then, okay, what is the point he's trying to make? He goes, someone's dead. Yep. Yeah. That person wouldn't be dead if she hadn't driven her SUV into a law enforcement officer. She wouldn't be dead if she hadn't first gone out and blocked traffic and impeded law enforcement from arresting criminals. She wouldn't be dead in. If you would just do your job and stop protecting the criminals. She wouldn't be dead. If you didn't encourage her. If you and your whole political party didn't encourage her to do the sorts of things that force law enforcement officers to shoot you. Yeah, she is dead. And the fact that she's dead and the fact that the federal government, at least based on the vice President's excellent statement, I think is entirely backing DHS here, as they should. The fact that that happened, it's very sad for her and for her family, but it is very good for the political order because among other goods that will come of this. I think fewer people are going to do this in the future if the line is held here. Fewer people are going to do these stupid things in the future and fewer people are going to be in the kind of position where cops have to shoot them. Speaking of mayors, let's turn to New York. Speaking of mayors and millennial politicians crying, let's turn to New York. You know that tenant director in New York that we talked about her on the show, Sia Weaver, she's this young white woman, not really that young, 36, 37 years old. She, I think of myself as young, but we're not, you know, we in mid-30s, we're not really young anymore. This woman, Sia Weaver, she went viral because she said she wants to take private property away from people, but especially white people. And she says that homeownership is white supremacy and we need to take stuff away from middle class whites. In fact, I hear, I don't wanna put words in her mouth. She said homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy. Homeownership is racist. She encourages people to impoverish the white middle class. She said there's no such thing as a good gentrifier, only people who are actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren't. And she's called on people to seize private property as a result of that. She is now a woman who has a political office who not only says stupid things on Twitter, but actually can affect her very evil designs. This woman is now being approached by the media as she approaches her parents home. Her parents home, which is apparently worth almost a million and a half dollars. And by the way, that's not even the punchline. As she is approaching her parents home, which is worth a million and a half dollars. I guess. Or maybe even if she's approaching her own home, being asked about her parents home, which is a million and a half dollars, I don't know exactly where this photo was taken. She's sobbing, she's crying. Why are you asking? First of all, why are you asking me, a prominent politician in a city, questions is kind of silly, especially for a left wing politician who says that we need total transparency in all this. The idea that you would whine and cry when the media ask you pertinent questions is kind of funny. But then next, the fact that she's in her mid-30s. This is not like an 18 year old girl, she's 36 or 37. You can't handle questions from the media. You're in politics. You're a grown woman, lady. Go home, go home. Leave politics to the adults. But the funniest part of it all is the house. Her parents have, a million and a half dollar house. Her parents have, are white. They own homes. They own a pretty nice home. You know, I hate to say I told you so, but I've said for many, many years that all of liberalism boils down to three words. Screw you, dad. In this case that has been so affirmed, so totally vindicated, the people that this woman seems to have a singular focus on screwing over in politics, Upper middle class, relatively affluent white homeowners, is her parents. It is specifically her parents. It's Jacob Fry. This is F you dad and Jacob Fry. Also in the emotional dysregulation, even answering the media, these people. Who? You mean these people? When I'm talking about these people, I'm talking about these, in some cases actual communists or socialists or just political leftist radicals who encourage anarchy in the streets and the expropriation of property and the attacks on federal law enforcement. And all these kinds of people are emotionally and intellectually very disordered. Obviously emotionally you see it from the picture. And then intellectually as well, because they say that good is bad and up is down and right is wrong, not good. And she's not the only person under fire in the Mamdani administration. This is the story. I'm going to tease this story every day for the rest of the existence of my show. I want to get to Mamdani's lesbian fire. Chief, can I get to. You know what, I'm just gonna do it, cuz I've been teasing it every day. And there's other stuff I want to talk about too. President Trump banning institutional investors from buying single family homes. That's really, really great. But you know what? I'm not teasing it anymore. Hey, give me Mamdani's lesbian fire chief.

Lillian Bonsignor is a career first responder. In just nine days, she'll be running the world's busiest fire department, one of the most important appointments of the incoming administration.

And they deserve a leader who cares about their work because she did it herself, who understands every detail and will fight tirelessly to empower FDNY and make it the best firefighting force in the world.

Lillian Bonsignore began her career as an EMT in 1991 and was ultimately promoted to chief of the city's EMS division, where she served for three years before retiring in 2022. Although she never served as a firefighter, she's confident that won't matter. Bon Signore is a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community who will serve as the FDNY's first openly gay commissioner.

What an amazing segment. What just an amazing segment. I wonder, was this local news segment put together by. Was it any of my producers? Mr. Davies? Did we put this together? Was this put together? I don't think I could do anything that good. You couldn't. You know, you couldn't. It's like. It's too trollish. It's too on the nose. Was this. Was it anyone at Daily Wire, Blaze, Fox News? No, it wasn't. They actually say this woman, she had this job that isn't being a firefighter, and she did that. That's actually being an emt. That's a really great public service. It's wonderful. People should be applauded for doing that. But she wasn't a fireman at all. Those are different things. She did this other job, and she's never been a fireman, but. And then immediately afterward, they go, she's never been a fireman and has absolutely no experience with this whatsoever, but she is a lesbian. Well, I guess if a lady's gonna be a fireman, if we have to have lady fireman, I guess I would prefer a lesbian to some, like, dainty little waifish lady. You know, Obviously, I'd. But still, I don't think being a lesbian imbues you with some kind of, I don't know, osmotic knowledge of how to put out fires or even how to get cats out of trees. I don't. There are, like, a hundred. I'm just gonna pause it here. There are, like, a hundred thousand jokes one could make about this whole situation, and I'm not gonna make that. I'm just gonna point Out. New York is screwed. Every single sign that we are getting out of the Mamdani administration is just. This is gonna be even worse than you thought it was. Okay. All right. Happy New Year.

They say that Merlin is mad. They say he was a king in Dovid. The son of a princess of lost Atlantis. They say the future and the past are known to him. But the fire and the wind tell him their secrets. The magic of the hill folk and druids come forth at his easy command. They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds. Do you hear that? The world burned and trembled at his wrath. The Merlin died long before you and I were born, Merlin. Emrys has returned to the land of the living. Vortigern is gone. Rome is gone.

Saxon. Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the island of the mighty. And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne. And he will have it if we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him. Here is your hope. A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand.
