Experian Three days ago, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz compared ICE to Nazis and the foreign criminals that ICE is trying to apprehend to Anne Frank. Two days ago, President Trump had a phone call with Tim Walls. Yesterday, Tim Walls deployed his own Minnesota State Patrol to arrest the anti ICE protesters, which means by the governor's own logic, that Tim Walls is now a Nazi collaborator. What changed? We will get into it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. As you can see, I am still here in my beautiful temporary studio lovingly provided to me by my pal because I'm locked out of the DW studios and not even by an order of the court or by the demand of Ben Shapiro. I'm locked out by ice. Actually, ICE is locking me out of my studio. Not the good ice, the also good but much less convenient ICE that has turned Nashville into Mad Max. It's totally nuts. But it's all right. We're surviving and thriving. We've been blessed with many great gifts and graces and opportunities during all of this, including, I'm happy to say, the ability to continue doing the show, which we have to do because everything is getting so insane in this flashpoint in Minneapolis where there's always the rioting, always the insurrection, always the violence, always the challenges to authority in Minneapolis until yesterday. The timeline here is really, really weird. It was on Sunday that Governor Walz comes out and he says that these guys are Nazis. And then Trump has the phone call and then we have reports out that the Minnesota police, local police go out and arrest the protesters who were Protesting outside of the hotel where the Border Patrol commander at large, Greg Bovino, was staying. So you can see this footage is going all around. And some people would see this and say, okay, well, look, they're not Minneapolis police. So this isn't Jacob Fry, who remains an insurrectionist, the trans Somali mayor of Minneapolis. This isn't necessarily Tim Walls. Maybe this is a more conservative suburban town. Maybe that explains it. No, because aiding the local police in arresting the protesters was the Minnesota State Patrol. That's coming from Governor Walz. The libs are furious. Go on Blue sky right now. Not that I recommend you do that ever, but that's, you know, that's the lib version of Twitter. They've lost their minds over it. That guy that I debated on, Piers Morgan the other day, the one with the bleach blonde tips and the big sunglasses and his grandpa's shiny suit on, that guy was losing. He said this is a fake out. Walls totally caved to Trump. They're arresting the protesters. It's getting worse. They're sending more ice, they're sending more immigration enforcement. What happened? So what the libs are gonna claim, or what they were trying to claim previously, is, well, look, Walz and Trump, they came to some kind of agreement. And the Democrats got a scalp. They got a scalp because the Border Patrol commander at large, Greg Bovino, has been reassigned. So he's no longer running the operations in Minneapolis. You're gonna hear this from the left and you're gonna hear this from the doomers on the right who take no. They miss no opportunity to attack the administration and to whine and complain from the comfort of their own desk chairs. So what you're gonna hear is, we'll see. Trump is backing off because he's removing the commander at large of Border Patrol, Greg Bovino. Now, first of all, most people have never heard of Greg Bovino. By all accounts, he's a terrific law enforcement professional. Commander at large is not even an official position in Border Patrol. And Border Patrol is usually on the border, though, because of the nature of a first in a generation mass deportation campaign, which most Americans voted for in November. They've needed to bring in a little, a little bit more help, some more reinforcements on these raids. Now he's going to be reassigned. So is that it? That's the scalp. Trump is backing out? I don't think so. Because in his place we're getting Tom Holman. Tom Holman, who is the face of mass deportations. So I don't think if you're a lib or you're an illegal alien, violent criminal, or any of these people. I don't think you're relieved to see Tom Homan show up. Tom Homan is the guy who is more famous or from your perspective, infamous for deporting people. But there is a little political play here, and this finally explains why. Caroline Levitt, White House press secretary, was playing up the fact the other day in the briefing that Tom Homan received a presidential medal from Barack Obama. It seemed to come out of the blue. They said, you know, actually, Tom Homan received a presidential medal for all of his great work in deportations from Barack Obama. Why? Because they were setting up the conditions to replace Greg Bovino. Okay, maybe Tim Walls gets on the phone. Okay. All right, Mr. Trump, I understand. I'm a real knucklehead. I'm a. Listen, I know. And I. Yeah, okay. I might have committed some fraud with the Somalis. I know. Knucklehead, knucklehead. Timmy again, I know I might be. I stood up on my iron GR the other day, and I told people to get themselves killed obstructing law enforcement. Knuckle, knuckle, knuckle. Anyway, can you bail me out, please? And you can imagine Trump on the other end saying, you know what, Tim? Okay, what's your demand? You got it. They want me to get rid of the guy who's in charge of it. And Trump says, okay. So they reassign him to wherever he was before or some new place, whatever. And then in their place, they put in Tom Homan. So now it's much harder to attack Tom Homan because you just hold on. Barack Obama said this guy was great for deportations. And the question becomes, are they gonna keep up the deportations or are they gonna pull back? And you had initially the libs celebrating and the doomers celebrating, and they're sort of pathetic, cynical. They just have to be right that things are terrible way, saying, ah, we'll see.
