Tony Kennett (Host)
Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WYPC on CYTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Knitt cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated, first on wibc. There are far too many fires to address at once, so we're just gonna get right into it. Uh, Governor Tim Walls is getting very, very close to genuinely calling for an insurrection in Minnesota. Now, a genuine actual case of sedition and insurrection requires two specific things. It requires in the case of sedition for an individual to call for others to rebe United States or to subvert the legal processes carried out in this country. That's why the entire sedition word was used so clearly in the previous administration. Regarding the 2020 election, for example, Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota has of course yesterday called for the National Guard to be on standby, possibly to protect against his words, not mine, possibly rogue ICE agents. One of the most insane things that I have ever heard from a governor of any state. Here's Tim Walls.
Governor Tim Walls
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.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So he then continues at the end of yesterday saying that they would be ready to deploy against, against weather. Some of the National Guard has been known to do disaster recovery and then against rogue agents. He has now doubled down on that today by floating that the National Guard might need to be deployed to Minnesota schools to protect children and teachers from ice. Here was the governor of Minnesota that.
Tony Kennett
The state can do to put in additional protection around schools or to allow for additional e learning days for these situations.
Governor Tim Walls
Yeah, it's interesting, Dana, that you would ask that. We were just as we were coming in here discussing, someone asked about that and they mentioned Ruby Bridges, the Little Rock folks, about escorting people in. We have not determined that yet, but it is a situation that we're, we're going to have to explore.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So when he talks about the Ruby Ridge situation there, the idea that the National Guard would have to escort individuals in otherwise what ICE is going to nab them. If there are individuals, say a teacher that is violating federal law, they don't get the ticket to be escorted past federal law enforcement. That is not legal. You cannot violate federal law. And it is insurrection to order the police or the National Guard to Rebel against federal law. You can't do it.
Governor Tim Walls
As I said again, the thing that cut me deeply was watching what happened in our schools and the chaos. And I was on with Commissioner Jett this morning as he talking to folks from St. Cloud to Duluth about what they think about today. Should we be in classes today and tomorrow in those schools or does it pose a potential risk?
Tony Kennett (Host)
And so what are you talking about? Risk to who? What is the. They're shutting the schools in Minnesota. Why? Why would they need to shut the schools in Minnesota? What would there be any reason why, especially in the greater Minneapolis area, why would there be any call for the shutting down of various schools and childcare organizations? Now, the Somali childcare daycare centers, I can understand why you might want to shut those down, but there probably aren't any children in there anyway. Although with the number of adults protesting there today, clearly there are individuals who have made the choice to abandon their children and go harass ICE agents. We will get to that. But in the case of the Minneapolis federal law enforcement situation, why would you need to close schools now? That doesn't make any sense at all to the average American. As a small note, viewer discretion and listener discretion is advised this evening. Again, there are far too many clips with far too much profanity for us to censor out expertly in the short amount of time. So what we are telling everyone is viewer discretion. Probably not one to watch with the kiddos. Here's why the Minneapolis schools are closed. Doesn't that seem peaceful? Doesn't that seem wonderful and marvelous? A little bit of yelling and wrestling and fighting federal law enforcement. This must be that peaceful protesting. Tim Walls told me that Minnesotans are known. Lovely. Ah, Minneapolis is lovely this time of year. And this comes from one thing and one thing only. The inflammatory rhetoric in which instantly, instantly after the situation involving the ICE agent that after the vehicle belonging to 37 year old good as, as her tire spun as she floored it and moved forward, hitting the officer while allegedly trying to steer away. The wheels did eventually point away firing his handgun in self defense, as is a standard law enforcement policy in state, local and federal law enforcement agencies around the country and around the world for that matter. That then immediately Tim Walls, Keith Ellison, the Attorney General, Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, politicians all the way from Buddy Santos all the way over to Gavin Newsome and Adam Schiff and AOC Hefferson Davis, otherwise known as JV Pritzker, they got right out there and said he is guilty. Arrest him. We have another George Floyd moment On our hands. And so the people rose to the call to riot. Now, the situation in Minneapolis all day has been getting more violent, and there are a couple of individuals who are gunning for the Darwin Award. So we have individuals, protesters, rioters, because when you break the law, you become a rioter who are jumping in front of other ICE vehicles. So individuals who have learned exactly zero lessons. Those would be those jumping in front of cars in Minneapolis today. Here you go here.
Tony Kennett
When they hear the mayor of their.
Tony Kennett (Host)
City saying, so there's a man that's. That's dry humping a. A car, as all normal men do.
Tony Kennett
And they don't hear much from the governor except, please.
Tony Kennett (Host)
And then after he rolls off of the car, he does the. I really like this. He does the. Whoa, hey, everyone, let's calm down. You were the one violating the law there, my dude. Really bad coverage by the Minnesota Vikings. They got to do better with this. Behave.
Tony Kennett
We saw what happened in 2020. The question is, is it going to happen again? We'll keep you posted here on the ground, Martha.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So I. Again, jumping in front of vehicles, not the smartest thing to do, apparently. Something that has become quite common in Minneapolis. Now, there is one final. There is one final clip I should say from this evening or I should say from the day. A lot of protesters clashing. You will notice that everyone wants to be the media star. Everyone you've heard, you know, TV killed the radio star. Now get ready for influencing killed the journalist. I bring you the fat kid in a gas mask holding up their phone while ICE upholds federal law around them. Probably should be hung in the Louvre. Here you go. Beautiful. Incredible. Oh, my God. Now you say, wait, why are these people being arrested? After all, they're just sitting on the ground. I see crackheads do that. And the speedway parking lot all the time. Well, even though being a crackhead and sitting in the parking lot is a state sport, in Minnesota, blocking roads is illegal. This idea that protesters just get to block roads and that's totally fine and therefore obstruct federal law. That ain't allowed. And it will get you carried out by individuals in federal law enforcement. You can see them manhandling the homeless lady from Home Alone 2. At least that's what it looks like. Definitely not Piers Morgan. Let's get back to the sidewalk. I'll help you up.
Tony Kennett
I'll help you up.
Tony Kennett (Host)
I like that. Let's get back to the sidewalk, sweetie. Oh, hey, there. Maybe you should stop violating federal law. Let's get you up to the Sidewalk a little bit there. Why don't you get it? We'll get you a nice mayonnaise salad. The Minnesota special. Incredible. Incredible. Now, the attorney general is usually a guy that you talk to at times like these. And Minnesota's attorney general, he knows the law. Keith Ellison. Nobody knows the law. In fact, Keith Ellison knows the law so well, he can look at a video and then, boom, he psychically understands the future. Jury and judge. These Judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one. Keith Ellison. National media encouraging these riots.
Kurt Schlichter
My question is, you know, why? I mean, this is a civilian. Uh, this is a Minnesota person. A civilian. A person who had.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So we've established that this is a civilian. He says a Minnesota person. Okay. A civilian. A person. A Minnesota person and a Minnesota civilian person. Established. Granted, there's no detective work like that. Andy, I think I've figured it out. You don't need Barney Fife for this one.
Kurt Schlichter
As who is who is only trying to do legal observing. There's no reason to believe she came there to harm anyone.
Tony Kennett (Host)
What in the world is legal observing? Excuse me, sir. Like, are you. Is that some creep looking in my windows? Oh, it's okay. He's a legal observer. Now, come more into the light. No, that's not a thing. Legal observing. And also, she wasn't. Her car was parked diagonally in the middle of the street. She was not Just legal observing. Standing on the side of the road with your phone out, even if you're in a really ugly gas mask and observing. Yeah, that's. That's observing. And I guess you're on public property, so you're doing so legally. Maybe legal observing is like, when you're in law school. You're, like, shadowing courtrooms. Oh, I don't know. It sounds exciting. Law and order, svu. Legally observing. Keith Ellison. Lay it out.
Kurt Schlichter
Let's observe. Why wouldn't a joint investigation give the public greater confidence that whatever you feel happened actually is what happened?
Tony Kennett (Host)
Ah, a joint investigation. This brings something rather interesting to the forefront, because Minnesota state officials are roaring, ripping angry. They're mad. And the reason they're mad right now is that the federal authorities, federal law enforcement, from the FBI over to Department of Homeland Security. They're not sharing any information and details. They're not. They're not including the Minnesota State police patrol, hug force, and the Minneapolis Somali Friendship Department. They don't get to be a part of the investigation. And Minnesota officials are very mad about that. They say, let us in. Let me in. Only there's a problem. You See, we have this really cool stuff called footage. This day, it comes. These days it comes in a digital format. I bookmark them on my computer. And I just happen to have all of these clips and tweets and articles and press statements and informal media interview statements and on the record media interview statements and newspaper articles that have been scanned and upladed uploaded. Local media, national media, social media, from all these Minnesota officials that said, ice, get the F out of Minneapolis. Or Tim Wall saying, I have ordered all law enforcement in the state not to cooperate with ice, or Keith Ellison saying, I am making sure that no law enforcement in Minnesota cooperates with any federal authorities, whether that's turning over information on SNAP benefits or on the Medicare and the Medicaid fraud, or the campaign fraud or the daycare fraud, or the. The general real estate, the wire fraud. So all. So all of a sudden, Pam Bondi orders. Okay, fine. No, nobody. Nobody's working if you don't want to play. All of a sudden, you don't get to come in and look like super duper ultra heroes. It's like the Brown University shooting. You had, had, you know, officer almost speaks English get up there. He can't even get the right legal terminology brought up before the rest of the community. And then, in the meantime, Brown University staff is deleting information on students and staff without any information at all, creating a ruckus in a panic. And then when the ATF and the FBI and other law enforcement shows up, Brown University wants to say, yeah, we're real proud of that on their partner. No, if you're gonna be the Wiley sheriff, you know, you're gonna get out here and be Wyatt Earp and manage the investigation yourself with all your social justice standards. Then you don't get to waltz back in whenever you want and run the show. How about no, Now, Keith Ellison is not the only idiot. We'll get back to Keith Ellison a little bit later, by the way, because he had some incredible statements about some of the fraud happening in Minnesota, which is to say all of the fraud happening in all of Minnesota. But I want to get back to this. This individual, the lady who was shot good. Whom her wife in the flannel was filming when it occurred. And Vice President J.D. vance got in front of the country today and made the statement that good. Who had her car parked in the middle of the road, was an agitator, a professional agitator. She was there for political reasons. She wasn't just a casual bystander. And the media and the left wing, they Clutched their pearls very, very, very hard. I mean, ju. Just two hands of pearl clutching as hard as they could. How could you say that? She was a mother. She had children. That's been the case that's been made all day. Well, it just so happens that Ms. Good. Happened to be part of an organization or calling herself part of professional ICE Watch. You know, these people, these are the left wing menopausal Karens that have followed around federal agents for the last year and held their phones in. Well, I should say who they think are federal agents oftentimes are just holding their phone in front of random people's faces going, are you ice? Are you ice? And obstructing traffic and driving ICE vehicles into the median, boxing them in, trying to obstruct justice. This individual just so happens to have been a member, according to a lot of the reporting that we've seen. Eric Doherty sending this to me. It just so happens she has been agitated or she had been agitating obstructing the federal law enforcement all day before she obstructed a. A road that ICE wanted through. Told her to get out of the vehicle. She didn't get out of the vehicle. She was out there trying to wave vehicles through the active police scene. Which you don't get to just dress up as a crossing guard and suddenly direct traffic. This isn't that episode of spongebob where he puts on the hall monitor uniform. No. I don't even know how black people is.
Kurt Schlichter
Phone up.
Tony Kennett (Host)
She thick as hell. So sorry. There is a. There is a cameraman who points out that an ICE agent is, ahem, thick as hail. And respect. You know, I mean, you know, a man recognizes a good looking woman out on the street. Respect. I hear you, man. In Minneapolis, a man complimenting a woman is a little bit rare, I think. I thought Jacob Fry had outlawed that after the last pride month. It's cold in a. I'm shaking that. So.
Kurt Schlichter
You don't got none of her.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Family members or anybody. Do you know anybody on her Facebook? So what he is recording a video of is the lady who would end up moving her vehicle forward as we covered yesterday, whether she was just trying to get away and she didn't see the ICE agent in front of her and tried to avoid or whatever, driving recklessly and at an ICE agent, whether or not she saw him first or gunned it and then after gunning it, tried to turn or whether it was intentional, irrelevant because you're not allowed to evade law enforcement. That's not allowed. You're Supposedly not allowed to gun your vehicle at a group of individuals either. Not allowed. If there's a group of police standing in the middle of the road and I somehow expertly Tokyo drift my Toyota Corolla through the cops without hurting anyone, I'm still getting arrested. But what his video shows here is the woman who would later be shot harassing the ice. Remember, you were told by all the left media, oh, she was just trying to find her way through. All right.
Interviewee / Guest (possibly a politician or commentator)
Damn.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Oh, my gosh. This is horrible, y'.
Interviewee / Guest (possibly a politician or commentator)
All.
Tony Kennett (Host)
I do love the commentary. I do love that. The man just can't get over it. It's like ice tea on svu. He's just always shocked. He's been working in special victims for like 30 years. He's still shocked. Oh, that there's something going on in front of. All right. Then at the very end, you see the vehicle. She moves her vehicle into the middle of the street to block federal officials. Back it up a little bit here. Move it over. You can see her put her vehicle into position. She moves it forward, And then a couple of moments later, then she tries to flee or, you know, drive her vehicle at the federal agents and irrelevant. When you drive at law enforcement, you take your life into your own hands and the agent acts according to his training. Now, one other thing that should be noted regarding these particular situations. The media is losing their ever loving mind that the public does not believe them over this footage. Over the footage right now. People like Brian Stelter, Potato Head himself over on cnn, has lost his ever loving mind because people are looking at the footage for themselves. They're not agreeing with him. And he's mad because he watches a video and he sees something. He's just very upset. He's like, why aren't you guys just trusting this one angle of the video and no other ones? The White House press secretary used the phrase cheap fakes. The idea of cheap fakes, let me.
Kurt Schlichter
Explain what that is to people.
Tony Kennett (Host)
We've been worried for years about AI deepfakes that computer generated images are gonna trick people into believing something that's totally false. Cheap fakes are a little bit simpler. They're cheap. They're just distorted out of context. Videos chopped up in certain ways, constructed in certain ways. That's what we're seeing. That's what the. Oh, wait a minute. That's a clip of Brian Stelter saying that you shouldn't believe your eyes with just a few seconds of video. Oh, but all of a sudden today he said seeing is believing. That's what we used to think, but now the old adage, what you see is what you believe feels outdated. In this era, what you believe is what you'll see. So now you have Brian Stelter out there making the case that because people really want to see that she was actually just this innocent mom trying to flee, that that makes her wonderful and innocent and amazing, and this officer is an evil, terrible person. Whereas just a year ago, you'll remember, or I should say, yeah, just a year ago, year and a half ago, Brian Stelter and his ilk. We're making the case that how dare you question the mental health of Joe Biden in the tapes in front of your eyes. Now, again, there are a lot of networks that aren't playing all of the various angles of the incident. And now we are moving on to really, really dangerous rhetoric. Before we get to that, I do want to play Kristi Noem's assessment of the situation. Department of Homeland Security's secretary so important to get this on the record as well.
Tony Kennett
Because of the adverse weather that Minneapolis has seen in recent snow, one of the vehicles became stuck and ensnared in the snow. Law enforcement were attempting to push out this vehicle. And when a mob of agitators that were harassing them all day began blocking them in, shouting at them and impeding law enforcement operations, ICE officers and agents approached the vehicle of the individual in question who was blocking the officers in with her vehicle. And she had been stalking and impeding their work all throughout the day.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Now, we do have information now that confirms, yes, this individual left her kids, like left her kids elsewhere, which again, not always a guarantee when it comes to left wing protesting. Left her kids somewhere, this devoted mother, and then went and followed law enforcement around all day attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement. And then when she violated the law, she took her life into her own hands, the officer reacted accordingly. We have numerous pieces of footage that have now been released. What happens when officers aren't able to bounce off of the corner of the front of the vehicle and do get stuck in and injured or possibly killed as information that the, the agent that fired the shot may have have been struck by a vehicle before or in an attempted striking by a vehicle a couple of months ago, she paid the price. And a couple of things, as Michael Knowles pointed out, can be true and should be recognized. Number one, law enforcement in that situation was entirely in the right. If an individual guns their vehicle at you, oh, then after the wheels spun, then they tried to turn. The law enforcement was correct in firing into the windshield. That is correct. That is a correct move by the officer. The lady, this Miss Good was entirely in the wrong. She violated the law. She was told to get out of the vehicle. Now there, there are, you know, individuals that are coming out with brand new second eyewitness reports. CNN had one of them on who claims to be this eyewitness and she says, well actually they were just telling her to move, like move, move away. This is Emily Heller. This is this eyewitness that they claim. They're saying, oh, well, here's the proof.
Tony Kennett
I came out onto my front porch and there was a woman who was a protester. She was blocking traffic with her car. She was parked perpendicularly. So the like convoy there was probably six or seven ICE vehicles. So she had blocked the traffic so they couldn't get through.
Tony Kennett (Host)
That's illegal. That is illegal. You can't do that. You cannot impede law enforcement at the local level, at the state level or the federal level. You cannot do this.
Tony Kennett
And, and ICE was screaming at her.
Tony Kennett (Host)
To move, move, move. And ah, here is her claim. ICE was screaming at her to move, move, move. And she didn't, and she didn't, and she didn't move. And then finally, when she finally decided to move, that's when they shot her. Nope, not what the video shows. According to the footage, according to the actual of the day footage, we do not have any audio that shows ICE individuals at the, at the, the scene of the, you know, of the, the attempted car strike and then the, the self defense firing and the legally justifiable homicide in this case. Nowhere at any time do we hear ICE officers yelling move, move, move. Do you hear it? Where's the Move, move, move. You see the ICE officer get out of his truck. By the way, for all of the arguments that, oh, how would they know it's a police vehicle? How would you even know they're unmarked vehicles. You can see the red and the blue lights flashing on the. I think it's what is a Nissan Titan, is the model of the vehicle. No, they say get out of the vehicle. They don't say move, move, move. Where's the person in the back going, move, move, move. That's not what's going on. He says you're going to obstruct traffic, you're going to violate the law. Okay, our patients just run out. We told you to move, you didn't move. Now consequences. I don't know where this gentle parenting nonsense comes from. The idea that, well, okay, once the parents finally met, now all of A sudden you got to move and get away. No, the patience has run out. They told you to move. According to this eyewitness did move. And then once they got to the scene, they weren't shouting moves. Still, it was all right. No, you violated the law. You're coming with us. Nope. Tried to flee. Police tried in doing so vehicle at and ended up hitting an ICE agent. He fired. There you go. Now, Michael Knowles third point. So that law enforcement officer entirely in the right. The one entirely in the wrong. And number three, also important, it is sad that the woman died. And we absolutely should pray for her family. And then he, as a Catholic says, and for the repose of her soul as a Baptist. That's not my particular brand of theology. We should pray for her family. Absolutely. There are two things that can be simultaneously true. Number one, F A, F O. Absolutely. If you violate the law, there are consequences. And number two, the idea that Republicans are all cheering and they're like, ah, yes, because she's a mother. That's why. No. Nope. There are people who, after watching a lot of the left cheer for the death of Charlie Kirk, for example, are not really buying it anymore. And now we have something else. There is a situation developing in Portland. So I believe the language is also a little strong in this report that a shooting occurred in Portland, Oregon. Day. Sorry, that's the. No, that is stopping traffic. This is in. This is in Portland, Actually. Clarify, Daniel. Is this in. Is this in Portland or is this in Minneapolis? I want to. I want to clarify that before we tell people the initial report, though, in. In Portland about the federal agent shooting. Local and federal sources tell ABC News that federal agents shot two people in Portland, Oregon. We're learning that the circumstances right now are a little unclear, but the FBI is responding. The agents who shot, we're told, are with U.S. customs and Border Protection. The FBI will be investigating in lead as the lead agency. I want to bring in ABC News. All right, so we don't know a whole lot about this particular shooting yet. We'll keep you up to date on this. Did get confirmation from Daniel. Sorry. A lot of cities, a lot of rioting, a lot of ice accidents action as well. This is in Minneapolis this evening. So see a large group of protesters that are now violating the law that are blocking off roads that are forbidding people from progressing through the streets. That is illegal. They're screaming f ice over and over. So very, very, very good times. Well, again, we'll keep you up to date on whether the situation in Minneapolis develops. God Willing, hopefully something just a bit calmer than is more likely to occur. Now we do have Kurt schlichter over from townhall.com Kurt Schlichter from townhall.com to talk a little bit about the situation in Minneapolis. Again, a lot of the other situations regarding law enforcement in this country, reaction to it don't go anywhere. We got a big show tonight, lots to cover. It's the Tony Kinit cast here on the Daily Signal. It's the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WIPC. Going over to Kurt Schlichter, the man, the Myth, the legend, Townhall.com's most beautiful columnist. Don't tell anyone I said that. Also, Panama read the newest of the phenomenal Kelly Turnbull series. It's very, very good, highly recommended. Excellent stuff as usual, Kurt. Every time you write one of these books, we have to go and, and end up copying a couple of news events down a couple of weeks later. Tell me what, what city is featured in Panama Red, your most recent Kelly.
Kurt Schlichter
Turnbull book by Tony. It would be Mogadishu, Minnesota.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Oh, Mogadishu. What, what is Mogadishu? A renaming of what city?
Kurt Schlichter
Minneapolis. Well, wow. I'm like a visionary.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Incredible.
Kurt Schlichter
Pretty amazing.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So let's dig into some of the latest stuff. Tim Walls out here, otherwise known as General Leotard. He is out making the case that the Confederacy of Minnesota is, is, you know, maybe gonna have to do something. He says that they have never had a moment this important since 1863 in July 3rd. So he's like Gettysburging it up.
Kurt Schlichter
I think he's referring to Gettysburg, of course, my family, the Schlichters. Jacob Schlichter was involved in the Civil War on the Union side. Chambersburg, of course, was burned by the Confederates twice. I think he's referring maybe to the high water mark of the Confederacy, which, in Gettysburg. But that would be the other side because what he's trying to do is kind of, he's, he's channeling Fort Sumter, except it's more like Fort Dumpy. You know, I mean, you know, I, I mean, I, I, I, I didn't think, you know, if Jefferson Davis was, is, you know, a closet case with jazz hands and a taste for show tunes, then I can see, I can see Tim waltz in. I mean, they're both Democrats.
Tony Kennett (Host)
See, I, I gotta, I gotta stick with General Leotard for Tim Walls because I've, I've already called J.B. pritzker, Hefferson Davis. So nice. I gotta keep my names in line in, in all in all, in all, realism here again, we talk about legal matters. We talk about the case of the military. Obviously, our audience knows your. Your extensive experience in both to threaten to deploy the Minnesota National Guard against federal law enforcement that violates the laws on sedition and insurrection. Do we actually see anything here with maybe the U.S. marshal's office going in and actually putting him in cuffs or what needs to happen?
Kurt Schlichter
I think he has enough deniability because he hasn't, like, really said it flat out and done it. But, you know, Democrats did try and do it when a different serf class, not illegal aliens, but, you know, blacks in the south were being integrated into schools. And of course, Eisenhower wasn't having anything to do with that. He called up the Alabama National Guard and moved them on post and said, you're sitting this one out as federal soldiers. Here's your federal pay. You're on federal active duty, Title 10. But, you know, I'm sitting 101st in Donald Trump is. I think Donald Trump would be perfectly happy to. If this guy threatened to use the National Guard in a state capacity against the federal government, he will call up the Insurrection Act. He will call them to active duty. He will deploy them to Camp Snelling or wherever the hell they deploy to in Minnesota.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Right.
Kurt Schlichter
And he, he will send troops in probably 10th Mountain, maybe 101st. Both of them are relative, not nearby, but, you know, in the general area and capable of doing a presence patrol. And the left will freak out, which is fine. They've been slobbering for a chance to get a martyr, and it turns out this weird lesbian psycho woman who's a poet, and I've read her poetry and.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Wow, you didn't like the I mash up Bibles and give them to the thrift store. You didn't think that was but poet laureate material.
Kurt Schlichter
Maybe I'm not smart because it didn't rhyme, but it also had no reason. Yeah, I mean, they're absolutely willing to sacrifice this wine woman for their cause. Here's the thing, and I'm a little surprised this is still going on after 24 hours because you saw some of the more moderate Democrats took a look at and said, yeah, you know, we need to investigate, but, you know, we need to. And I, if you, if you're just listening, I'm making this make it go away movement. But the leftists are in such a bubble that they're sitting around saying, well, you know, it may have struck her, but I think it struck the cop. But I don't think the car actually struck the cop. We're all agreed that what we saw in the video. We're all agreed that didn't actually happen. Right. And they're, and they're in this bubble where they're, you know, making up the law of self defense, which is well established over the centuries.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Right.
Kurt Schlichter
And either ignoring, denying, or minimizing the facts. Oh, he wasn't run over. I mean, he, he, he was just winged. As if that has some sort of legal relevance.
Tony Kennett (Host)
This is something that I've seen articulated by quite a few, I would say, you know, other decent former lawyers and legal guys over on the right, whether you're talking about Ben Shapiro or Dan McLaughlin, a couple of guys have come out and made it rather clear that it doesn't even matter whether the, the lady, the Mrs. Good was trying to hit the officer. She threw her car forward and slammed on the gas when she was told to stop. And, and all, all of those things aside, we're now getting, you know, counter narratives. Oh, actually, there was someone shouting, move, move, move. Even though when you go back and you watch the tape. No, there wasn't. I mean, it's really a new. How long is it until we see someone try to artificially insert some of these narratives in via AI?
Kurt Schlichter
Oh, I, I, I, I think that's definitely coming. We've already, we've already, you know, the particular obnoxious Nick, Tim Miller, who was.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Oh, from the Bulwark.
Kurt Schlichter
And he's like, well, you know, he, he shot inside the side window. And of course, then somebody goes, well, here's photographs of bullet holes from the front, the windshield in the back of the.
Tony Kennett (Host)
You didn't know that the Honda Pilot. The Honda Pilot makes its windshields out of side windows now? I had no idea. Incredible.
Kurt Schlichter
The thing is, it's like they look at each other and go, okay, well, we'll just deny this obvious fact. They did the same thing with Rittenhouse. I mean, the dudes literally got a Glock when Rittenhouse shoots him. And it's like, well, that doesn't matter. So you, you either misconstrue the law of self defense, or you minimize, ignore, or deny the facts. Because if you apply the true facts, and true facts are a thing in the law because everybody disagrees on the facts. So there are true facts as the facts you prove and, and you apply them to the law here, the true facts, which are documented on video and the law clearly make this a righteous shoot. It is. You know, it is sad for this woman, although I have this limited caring bandwidth. And as I pointed out to someone prominent today, someone else prominent, I can only care so much, and I've got two friends with cancer. So how much do you, how much do they propose I spend of my caring bandwidth on a woman who inserted herself after abandoning her children and crossing state lines to go hassle cops who are enforcing a democratically enacted law under the leadership of a president who promised to enforce this? How much caring of all of the limited caring I have, what really cracks.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Me in half, what really just, I mean, smacks me right in the forehead over this one, is that before this incident, the Minnesota state officials, the local officials, Jacob Frey, whether we're talking about Attorney General Keith Ellison, whether we're talking about General, General Leotard, Tim Walls, when we're looking at these individuals, they said, we're not going to work with ice. We're ordering everyone in Minnesota, do not work with ice. Don't talk to any federal official. No law enforcement cooperation. Now they are losing their minds because the feds are not giving them access to the FBI's investigation. And they're mad. They said, well, hey, wait a minute. The feds aren't working with us. And they don't understand that. They are trying to have their, well, I guess they don't have cake there. They're trying to have their Somali beans and dirt and then eat them too.
Kurt Schlichter
I'm still trying to get over Somali cuisine. It's amazing.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Jacob Frey's face trying to muscle down what, what appeared to be deep fried.
Kurt Schlichter
Gravel was, you know, the, right now the British are flying high because they're like, our, our food's better than theirs. They can't say about anybody else. No, it is. Well, keep in mind, part of the don't work with the feds is to cover up their own potential criminal liability. It's not, you know, I want to protect our Somali friends, it's if we don't help the feds, maybe I won't get fraud marched out. But, you know, Tim Waltz, of course, gave up his, his candidacy for reelection and I think in part because he's got problems coming because he and the rest of them are corrupt as all get out. But, you know, I, I, this has not been a great week for the left. And I recently tweeted this. If you look at this again, I, it is kind of except among the hard left who don't understand. Normal people look at this right, normal, not political guys, not you or me. But they look at and go, I don't understand what was she doing there? Why was she in that position? And then she drove towards the guy and he shot her. Which, I mean, I don't want her to get shot or anything, but, you know, she did drive to a cop and why was it, why was she there? Why wasn't she doing what she, what they were telling her?
Tony Kennett (Host)
Why wasn't she complying?
Kurt Schlichter
Look good to normal people. Normal people aren't like, well, obviously they're Nazis. Normal people ask questions that would never occur to the left, like, why were you blocking the road from the cops again? And I think it hurts them. But you, you've got, you got that, you got the Somali fraud. You got Democrats and Democrats opposed investigating that. You got them opposing throwing out Maduro. You got Democrats opposing and blowing up gunboats. You got them opposing taking Iranian nuclear weapons. The 80s 20 thing has become a cliche. But like most cliches, it's true. And I, I think it's kind of hilarious that the Democrats are like, okay, let's get here and fight for this weirdo who is hassling cops and who got herself shot when she drove at the cop and struck him. Okay, this is going to work. And I'm sure it would at the University of Minnesota faculty lounge.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Right?
Kurt Schlichter
But I mean, you're a military guy too. I'm a military guy. We hung out with like a lot of normal people. I don't pretend to be a normal person. I'm a Californian.
Tony Kennett (Host)
No one would ever accuse you of being a normal person.
Kurt Schlichter
I'm a lawyer. You know, I, I, I'm not, I, I don't pretend to be Kurt, man of the people, but I hung out with a lot of men, real men of the people. And I'm just thinking that normal people are going to have like, I don't, I, that just doesn't seem right, what's going on in Minnesota.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So this is the last thing I want to leave it on because it's interesting. You say it was a really rough week for the left, and it was also a really rough week, or has been so far for 3% of the Republican Party. So again, according to the CBS News YouGov poll, 97% of people who would call themselves MAGA Republicans approved of the Venezuela removing Maduro from power. 97% of MAGA Republicans vary in favor of ICE and the operations that they are taking. In places like Minnesota, there's that 3% who disapprove. Now, I would love to share with you just because I think this is really funny. So that 3% the Marjorie Taylor Greens or Tucker or whoever it is that's very, very mad and yelling and upset. Tucker's newsletter this morning, I kid you not, he is angry that ICE is doing what they're doing. He says that actually the, you know, the, the, the mom that was the, the woman who was shot, who abandoned her children like you said, and drove the officer, that she's the victim in all of this. And then, I'm not joking, he compares this to Venezuela and Israel in his newsletter. I, I, yeah, this crew is disintegrating.
Kurt Schlichter
I'm, look, I, I, I, I'm the only guy in conservatism who's not personal friends with Tucker. I don't have his phone number. I've met anyone, you know, I mean, I got buddies who are like, you know, buddies are like, yeah, I was texting Tucker the other day and I'm like, what I heard do you know before? And I met him once, I've been on his shows several times. I think he's a very smart guy. I think he is a interesting guy. I think he said a lot of important things. And I frankly think he's having some kind of mental breakdown. I can't account for the irrational change in his viewpoint and anybody, well, he's getting paid by Cutter. You know, I, I, I, like, I'm a cynical as the next guy. I'm a Los Angeles trial lawyer, but true, you know, this is something, there's something going on with him and I don't know what it is. And I, I don't wish any harm on him. I don't, of course not. People are like, oh, you know, it's anti Semite. I think if, if somebody went up to Tucker and said, well, the Jews are terrible, Tucker would go, you're an idiot. Because it is objectively stupid. But what he's doing is just crazy. This anti Israel stuff, this, what you just said.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Yeah, the pro maduro stuff. Yeah.
Kurt Schlichter
It's irrational. It's not reasonable. I, I'm, I'm worried about the guy. I mean, he's not my pal, but it's like, it doesn't, it doesn't make sense. It's not explained by, you know, cartoonish villainry.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Now that, that's the truth. And I think that the best way to frame this, and I frame this really, by the way, in the same way that I've said about, you know, Candace Owens. And that's just, it's a waste. It's a waste. Well, that's true. I'm, but I'm saying just from, from a standard of sorry, say again if.
Kurt Schlichter
She'S just a freaking scumbag.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Well, that's true. What I'm, what I'm saying, though, about, like, that the talent and the potential that was there. It's a waste.
Kurt Schlichter
Yes.
Tony Kennett (Host)
And you know me, I, I despise wasting something good. And so I, that, yeah, that's how I see that. So it's a rough one.
Kurt Schlichter
I hope he gets his stuff together. I. Look, people have breakdowns. Okay? People get. And, and if he comes back and says, you know, I've taken some time and I, I, I, you know, I've thought through it. I know, you know, I was going through some stuff. He lost his father recently. They were very close. Look, I, I mean, I'm. A lot of people are very angry with him. I'm worried for him. I don't hate him because I can't take seriously what he says.
Tony Kennett (Host)
It comes across to me as schizophrenic, and that gives me concerns.
Kurt Schlichter
Yes, yes. I, I think people have breaks, and I don't want to be condescending. I mean, if he came and said no, I, I'm not insane. I really believe this stuff now. Okay. I'm willing to allow you to take, you know, own what you, you think. And again, he's not my pal. I don't care.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Right.
Kurt Schlichter
In that sense. I just. But, you know, he's, he did so much for the movement. I, I would rather think that he. There's something wrong than he has chosen wrong.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Yeah, I think that's a good point. Unfortunately, we do have to kind of close it off there, just per the FCC clock. But Kurt Schlichter over@townhall.com always good to have you on. As always, thank you for abiding by the rules so that I don't have to pay a fine for the spicy words that you say. No, and I really appreciate you, man.
Kurt Schlichter
I'm not the mayor of Minneapolis. I mean, Mogadishu.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Very, very, very true indeed. We'll bring you back real soon. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. Now let's dig into some of the news updates. Tim Walls about an hour ago posted a very. Gosh, I don't know, guys, how else to put this? It's one of the saddest things I have seen. It's really. Tim Walls is now after, after using the National Guard and saying it's 1863, right before Gettysburg, making his. He's getting ready to fight the Civil War right after he said this.
Governor Tim Walls
Our history when things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863. And I think now we made great.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Yeah. So right after that now Tim Walls is out here to announce it's time for a day of national. So he dresses up like Maduro, I think. Is he wearing the gray sweatsuit? Yeah. So he dresses up like Maduro and he's captured, which is an interesting move. And he's ready to make his announcement. Either this or your grandparents are calling you via FaceTime. Identical stuff here to me.
Governor Tim Walls
Hi everyone. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls here. You witnessed in Minnesota yesterday a tragedy, the death of Renee Goode on the streets at the hand hands of a federal agent.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So we're, we're starting, we're starting real clear. Making it very clear. Exactly. Again. Right. How he feels.
Governor Tim Walls
You also witnessed last night a beautiful vigil, a peaceful visual people expressing their constitutional and first amendment rights in a peaceful manner. And for that I say thank you. I've been very clear. We need a couple things here. We need Minnesota to carry out this investigation to make sure that the professionals at the BCA and that local law enforcement, who's in charge of law enforcement, make sure we do the investigation.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So when a federal crime is committed and impeding federal law enforcement is, you guessed it, a federal crime, the feds get to lead the federal investigation. He wants to do the investigation. Why? So they can Derek Chauvin this. That's why. That's exactly why they want to indict that agent. His name has already been doxxed, his picture posted everywhere. No, Tim.
Governor Tim Walls
And then to pull back this unnecessary surge. And so with that, I would ask for all of us to continue to do this peacefully, continue to raise our voices.
Tony Kennett (Host)
But while I threaten to bring in the National Guard against the federal government.
Governor Tim Walls
Do so in a manner that brings about that sense of community in Minnesota. I'm declaring tomorrow at 10am on January 9th. I'd ask everyone to pause for a moment of silence to remember Renee Goode, also to remember all that's good and right about this nation.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Ken Castigating federal law enforcement as evil as the takers of just an innocent mother is how he's painting this. It is wrong to do that. It is very, very wrong. They're going to try to George Floyd. It, it's not going to work this.
Governor Tim Walls
Time and I'm going to ask folks if they can. I'd ask employers to give their people some space.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Well, no one's going to work in Minnesota anyway. So, I mean, yeah, I'd ask each.
Governor Tim Walls
And every one to find a way to contribute in your community.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Find a way to contribute in your community. Now. Now there's an idea. Contribute in your community. I could give to a charity or maybe maybe some Medicare or some Medicaid. Maybe donate to a local luring center. Think of all the ways you could help out your neighbors in Minneapolis. Maybe not blocking traffic. I know, I. Crazy idea not driving your vehicle at police officers. I know, guys. Amazing, amazing things you can do if you put your mind to it.
Governor Tim Walls
Be shoveling your neighbor's walk. It might be being at a food bank. It might be pausing to talk to someone you haven't talked to before. But to show the goodness, to rise up, to make sure that we're being very, very clear about this, that we expect our constitutional rights to be respected.
Tony Kennett (Host)
What about your constitutional right to have federal law protect you? If we're equal under the law, then that means that these laws are protecting someone. The federal laws at hand are protecting you. Illegal immigration into this country is a threat to you, a threat to me, a threat to this country. And so when federal agents are upholding, duly elected, as Kurt Schlichter said, constitutional, congressional, signed by the president, law, not upholding those would be an act of aggression towards you, would be an act of neglect toward you, would be a violation of the social contract against you.
Governor Tim Walls
Law enforcement is local. That we expect accountability of our elected leaders and that we are not going to. To go quietly and we're not going to give up on those things that matter so much to us.
Tony Kennett (Host)
And this is incredibly rich. We must have accountability. Says the guy who fired one of the whistleblowers in the Minnesota fraud investigation. I mean, you know, it's like, accountable. Tim Walls. Ah, thought I had that one, Steve. Incredible, incredible stuff. The lieutenant governor of Minnesota not doing much better. She just calls for the entire abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. No more customs. Let anyone into the country out of all. Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, the lady of fake Native American names. Here you go.
Tony Kennett
Do you think ICE should be abolished? I mean, let's be clear. If you see, like, what is happening in the streets of Minnesota, you've seen what's happened in the streets of Los Angeles and Chicago. That these masked agents who are, you know, detaining people at elementary school. School.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Oh, no. Containing people. Elementary school. You mean that person who wasn't supposed to be there and was a threat to the children? Oh, God, man. They were arresting people who were a threat to kids. They were Arresting people, violating the law. That's horrible. They should be more like the cop at the beginning of Home Alone. You stop in, you smile at the family and the kid with the gold tooth and then you try to ransack his house later. Cuz you're not really a cop. You're Harry and Marv, right?
Tony Kennett
Graduations. Who are, you know, detaining American citizens who are carrying their passports. We have.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Because detaining is not about whether or not you are a citizen. If you are aiding and abetting an individual who is violating the law. If you. Again, if you are in a house, you're in a living room and someone says, hey, you want to do some crack? Let's, let's smoke some crack. And they start smoking some crack because I don't know, you're in one of those houses for, for whatever reason and you know, you're like, no, I don't partake. No crack for me, please. And the cops kick down the door and they start arresting the people smoking the crack. I got a little news for you, buddy. You're also getting arrested. Why? Because you are there with the people who are breaking the law. If you are with a bunch of people who are illegal immigrants and you are with them and amongst them, you will also be detained because they want to know why you are amongst those breaking the law. Law. This is very, very, very basic civics. We're going to get to that with the, the nonsense around the, the self identified physician, medical denial or whatever here in a little bit here. Let a Lt. Governor Ojibwe Belabwe continue to absolutely start.
Tony Kennett
Over with this agency. And frankly, Kristi Noem and you know, leadership of Isabel should be dragged in front of Congress. And let's be clear, how they are acting right now is unconstitutional. So should we throw out this current model of ice? Absolutely, yes.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Ah, excellent. Excellent stuff. I'm incredible. Now I did mention the other particular case in which a, the claims being spun around, people pretending that they don't understand how normal things work. The left ran wild with this today. So that, that, that CNN lady, the eyewitness that they had on to say, you know, that the officers were shouting move, move, move. Even though she didn't record that. Here we have a new claim. So there's an individual that shows up again among the group of people who were agitators, protesters, yelling at agents and he starts walking towards the crime scene and the federal agents say stop. Here you go.
Tony Kennett
Can I go check a poll?
Tony Kennett (Host)
No, back up now.
Tony Kennett
I'm a physician.
Tony Kennett (Host)
I Don't care. I understand we got EMS coming and I get it. Just give us a second. So in that quick moment, let's see what happens. So the guy says, can I come check their pulse? And the officer says, no. Why? Because it's a crime scene, my love. Says he self identified as a physician. Why didn't they let him over there? Okay, okay. Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, a quick review of very basic law enforcement policy. There is not a single, not a single law enforcement policy that allows self declared physicians, medics, priests, bowling pin jugglers, cocaine smugglers, to tamper with a crime scene in a dead body. You can't just walk up and go, you know, can someone call a doctor? And you're like, I'm a doctor. Like that's not how this works in real life. You can just stroll up and go, can I check? No. Also, she shot in the head. Pulse don't really matter here, chief super medic. No, because you come up and declare, you know, I'm Spartacus, I'm a physician. No. And by the way, they said, well, they, they point their gun at the, at the physician. How could they do that? See, the officer points this paintball gun, they say, gun, a paintball gun at the individual. He raises his gun, appears to battle ready or battle drag. He's slung across it in the front of him. So he drew his gun on the physician. If you start to approach a perimeter of some sort and the cops say, hey, stop, get back. And then you say, well, I'm going to go anyway. Expect to have a gun drawn on you. You miss good. In the same position. They were like, move. She didn't move. Then stop. All right, we're going to ask you some questions. Get out of the vehicle. She didn't do it. Then she decided to go for it. And then shots fired. Very basic law enforcement stuff here. And then by the way, what you hear for the rest of the 30 seconds is the ICE agents talking outside. Dude, just wait a minute, man. Initial crime scene. We can't just let you on and like start moving things around. No, no. People using this as an excuse to act like they've never understood things before. Like Representative Janelle Bynum of Oregon. So we talked about the Portland, the shooting involved in Portland today. Not a lot of information that we have out about that yet. Here's represent Democrat, of course, Representative Janelle Bynum of Oregon running her mouth.
Tony Kennett
We know that their presence is not welcome in the way that they're attempting to be law enforcement. We don't believe that it's law enforcement.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So we say federal law enforcement's not welcome. We don't believe what they're doing is law enforcement. Says the representative of Congress, the cop shows up and says, hey, you can't rob this bank and say, I don't believe in the laws of theft. Where's it written? And they show you and you. Well, I can't read. No, you can't, stupid. I don't believe in law enforcement. It's not the tooth fairy, you moron. It's the law. It's written down. You swore an oath to protect and uphold those past statutes that the Constitution allows and duly certifies state sponsored terrorism.
Tony Kennett
And so we've made several calls over terrorism.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Yes. Ah, excellent. Calling law enforcement officers terrorists. That's going to go real well over.
Tony Kennett
And over again for the President to stop sending to Portland and to leave us alone.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Okay, okay. This, this really does smack to me of Candace Owens. Oh, well, this is the facts of the case. Well, I don't believe it. Okay, great. Well, the facts are right here. Well, it was revealed to me in a dream. Stop. Stop it now. As usual, as usual, Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, Senator Betterman had the best advice possible. It was. Everyone calm the bleep down. I gave that advice today twice. Calm down. Touch some grass. Now outside there are some gale force winds going on, so maybe not the best time this exact second to go touch some grass. But Senator John Betterman has the right idea.
Kurt Schlichter
What happened with this, with this ICE.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Officer shooting in Minneapolis and that you've been supportive of the work of ICE.
Kurt Schlichter
Over the last year. Are you.
Interviewee / Guest (possibly a politician or commentator)
Do you think that they were fault here? I mean it's, it's devastating. I mean I'm. I mean it's absolute tragedy. My heart goes out to her, to her family. I mean, I don't know the circumstances, I haven't seen the actual video, but a life is lost. I mean, it's a tragedy. And absolutely. And you know, I. My views. I support ICE about deporting criminals. I don't support and understand. If you want to target otherwise hardworking.
Tony Kennett (Host)
People again, this would be what we call a difference in policy. Do you hear how he is community? How is he's communicating it? I don't have an issue with it. I will argue why he is wrong and why all illegal immigrants, regardless of whether they are Mother Teresa or the crack dealer on the corner, should be deported now. The Mother Teresa should just be sent to the back of the line. I don't believe in the 10 year like delay before you can apply for immigration again. I think that should be looked at. If you came, you were smuggled into the country and you are the Mother Teresa, the hard working, wonderful. This, this magical stereotype that, that never really seems to be out here. But anywho that he's referencing, we can talk about that and talk about a making the immigration process safer. And once we ensure cultural assimilation, then, then we can have that conversation. I don't the idea of the disagreement. That's not the issue. Calling people you disagree with terrorists and saying we need to get out there and kill them. We'll get to that with Jimmy Kimmel here in a couple of minutes. That's a bit of a problem.
Interviewee / Guest (possibly a politician or commentator)
I don't support that. I never have on that. I remain pro, pro strongly immigration and that's never going to change. So that's here we are now where a woman's dead and that's tragedy. And you know, we'll know, you know, the circumstances. I'm not going to make any judgment other than just express my sympathy for the family. I mean, just. What a dream.
Tony Kennett (Host)
What a concept. The mayor of Minneapolis says that I.
Tony Kennett
Should get the F out of their city.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Do you think they should get out?
Interviewee / Guest (possibly a politician or commentator)
I mean, I'm not that close to the kind of violence and the tragedy, so I don't want to judge that. But, but for me, I think it's all probably always more helpful to turn the temperature down and just withhold, you know, the kinds of extremes to say, hey, like, you know, let's everybody, you know, turn the temperature down.
Tony Kennett (Host)
And then he lists individuals on the left and the right and says, why don't everybody. Let's just calm it down a second here and let the investigation proceed. What a concept. What an idea. Democrats haven't done that at large for a very long time. As soon as there's a crime, most of the time, if there's a differentiation in race. Oh, you already know how that's gonna go, Derek, man. Or in the, the Ferguson, Missouri. Oh, he could, could have been my son. Nonsense. The hands up, don't shoot nonsense. Whenever you have these administrations come in and say inflammatory nonsense, immediately casting that judgment, by the way, Tom Holman clapped back at Kristi Gnome a little bit as well, very aptly so saying, hey, look at the director and the Homeland Security wait for the investigation, say there should be no I. We, we stand behind our agents. We are investigating this because transparency and accountability is important. And also, I ain't got nothing to say. There's Pundits out there. There's a really good looking one out of Indiana with a blue suede jacket on. Why don't you go listen to him? And then we all would be happy. I mean, except those of you who have to, you know, listen to me. But you can just be a little bit. Relax your slacks. You don't have to get out in the middle of Minneapolis and scream and yell and be like Hakeem Jeffries and say, there's no way this would.
Governor Tim Walls
There's no evidence that has been presented.
Kurt Schlichter
To justify the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis.
Tony Kennett (Host)
There's no evidence to an unarmed woman in Minneapolis. She was ramming her car through the police. That's not an unarmed situation. That is utilizing a mechanism, a means of attack. You are using the vehicle as a battering ram. That's the minority leader of the house, ladies and gentlemen. God be with us. Now, the fraud situation is also particularly distressing. Although the Department of Homeland Security, now that they have stopped just sending in guys to talk to random convenience store owners, now we actually see Department of Homeland Security and the FBI in Minneapolis. Carolyn Lovett, the White House press secretary, pointed this out. There are a lot of agencies that are on the ground in Minnesota. Uh, and here we see agents just hauling out the boxes, doing investigating, no longer taking no for an answer. Now, I have a cool question for the cats in the community. Kittens, kids out there, the silver spoon. Why not this first? Why not this first? If they can send the FBI down and raid Melania's underwear drawer? Why. Why do we give all of the, oh, someone broke into our daycare and stole the document. You know, if you send the FBI in before, before again, there were local agencies like Fox 9, Fox 5, that were doing a pretty decent job reporting on some of these cases of fraud years ago, lots of years ago. Now, the Vice President has announced that there is going to be a new position of the. In the Assistant Attorney General role to address these kinds of situations. And we'll get into that probably in another show. Uh, Keith Ellison on the fraud situation. Now, again, Attorney General, the guy who's supposed to be going after this stuff. I don't know if I'd go with this maneuver.
Kurt Schlichter
Not that fraud is not a problem. Of course it is a problem. And of course we have to prosecute it. And of course, we have been prosecuting it.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Well, they haven't been fully prosecuting it.
Tony Kennett
Enough, General, to do so. I mean, one of the claims is that there has been hundreds of millions of dollars, but now There are some estimates that there could be $9 billion or more. And Noam is just suggesting they took hundreds of people off the street who were involved in fraud. Are you confident your office has done enough?
Kurt Schlichter
Of course we've done enough.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Excellent. Excellent. Well, now the good old boys, that being General Leotard, that'd be Tim Walls and Attorney General Keith Ellison have officially been criminally referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and prosecution over the mass Minnesota fraud of billions and billions of dollars. According to the statement and letter published to the Department of Justice by Representative Anna Paulina Luna, quote, I am writing formally to refer Minnesota Governor Tim Walls to the Department of Justice for the criminal investigation and prosecution for violations of 18 U.S. code Section 371 and 18 U.S. code Section 2, which govern conspiracy to defraud the United States and aiding and abetting federal offenses. Hey, those are two of the codes that I guessed that Walls was going to be charged on. No RICO stuff here. No extra super duper ultra spicy laws. Good. That's a good thing. Going through the legal processes of discovery and looking through. If they find other stuff while they're looking through Tim Walls, they can add on charges. It ain't like they just put an order into a fancy kitchen. You can just keep tacking on those charges all the live long day. Get him on the charges that you believe he can be convicted of. That is a good policy for the Department of Justice. Then Sean Diddy Combs doesn't get away. Imagine if Sean Diddy Combs and his baby oil were in the cell with Nicholas Maduro. The times they could share. Both of them so fond as oil as they are. But alas. Make sure your eyes aren't bigger than your stomach. The Department of Justice likely to do the right thing here? Oh, you're gonna have to find the grand jury to convict. They haven't been able to do so with Letitia James, now the mayor of Seattle, the lady that was laughing about just being a communist. There have been a lot of independent investigations showing that there is likely to be millions, well, hundreds of millions to a couple billion dollars of fraud in Washington state as well, including around their Somali migrant populations and daycare and childcare facilities and things like that. So when the Seattle mayor is asked if they're going to investigate fraud, here's her answer.
Tony Kennett
Yeah, I mean, I think the fear in the Somali community is real.
Tony Kennett (Host)
The fear in immigrant communities are real. So we're taking that very seriously. Along those lines, have you asked anyone.
Kurt Schlichter
To follow up on the fraud claims? Either to the Department of Immigrant Refugee affairs or spd.
Tony Kennett (Host)
No, she's proud of that. No, no, we don't investigate crime around here at Seattle. There you go. I mean, hey, see something, say nothing. The. The Democrat way. Impressive. Impressive. This is candy for Republicans on like a political analysis level going into midterms. All of the health care promises and the child care promises and the affordability that Democrats were running on. We just gotta give lots more money. I told you Zoran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, had put all of his weight behind this universal child care program where they're just gonna give money everywhere to childcare. Haven't seen any fraud with that anywhere in the country. And I told you, Kathy Hochul has gotten behind it and he's getting ready to announce it. And I was told, no, you're crazy. He's not gonna be able to do anything. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you today the announcement from Zoran Mandani, mayor of New York City.
Kurt Schlichter
Not only when we make pre. Pre K. Truly universal, but expand this care to include all two and three year olds across the city.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Hey, wait a minute. Who's that standing next to him? No, not the lady who looks like a lamp on the other side. The one who's dressed in. In a variation on what I'm wearing. That's actually. She's wearing. That's one nice blazer. Wait a minute. That's Governor Kathy Hochul behind her Tish James, eyeing yet another property to defraud. But no, in front of Tish James, that's Kathy Hochul. Kathy Hochul getting behind Zoran Mandani's universal childcare routine. Wow. Yeah, whoop it up.
Kurt Schlichter
As the governor said, we will deliver to care by working in partnership with child care providers.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Okay, Especially which child care providers? What if they speak Somali?
Kurt Schlichter
Home based providers.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Home based provider. You mean plates. I can just list my address and say I'm running a daycare. Don't come a knocking. And if you show up and I go, hey, is there a daycare here? And the owners go, what are you talking about? Oh, yeah, there's just been someone at two in the morning every second Wednesday for the last, you know, 10 years, dropping by and picking up the check sent to you on behalf of you. Oh, yeah. What is. What anyone can be. Childcare. You right here. I have a, a, A white wicker basket on a table next to the camera. I'm staring at that now. Is a childcare facility. Give me my money. Nothing gonna go wrong with that. That's The Democrats midterm message, we'll take your money and then we'll give it to fraud. Incredible stuff, Incredible stuff. Now we're gonna send the over, over to commercial break. Pick up one more time. And then I have for you the, a couple of updates on the media side of things. You know, some late night abominations. And then of course, the situation in Iran. I do have a couple of breaking updates out of Iran. So don't go anywhere. We have a lot more to cover. It's the Tony Kinnick cast here on the Daily Signal. You're listening to the Tony Kenneth Castle on 93 WIBC. Situation in Iran continues to, I can't really say deteriorate, although it is the regime's hold which is deteriorating at this point. So there are protests and riots erupting across all 31 provinces of Iran. Now there are a couple of things again as a reminder that led to these protests and riots. Number one and first and foremost, the economy, 42% inflation. The real, the currency is completely collapsed. Um, after a bunch of protests and riots, the government came out and announced they were giving everyone US$7 worth of currency. Um, so, you know, well done, mullahs, absolutely stellar. And then the second reason that people are extremely upset as they are tired of seeing women beaten and raped. As a policy in Iran, radical Islam has become rather unpopular and it has achieved loss after loss after loss in the Middle east because of the actions of people, including the United States and its allies, including Israel, including Saudi Arabia, including a large portion of moderate Muslims who are sick and tired of this crap. And it just so happens that Tehran can no longer hold it down. Now, now here's some of the details before we get into some of these clips here. Right now we understand there to be, according to human rights group estimates, which are about as useful as feet on a fish, 36 to 45 deaths since December 28th. Over 2,000 arrests. I don't know the real number to that. You don't know the real number to that? No one in Iran knows the real number to that. Human rights groups literally take a dart and throw it at Silly Putty and then pick a number between 1 and 10 and then announce that to the media. That's how they do things. Sorry. Human rights watchdog groups are about as intent on human rights as the Southern Poverty Law center is on poverty or the law. So that aside, the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has called for rally demonstrations, viral call for unified action. This has resulted in seeing the lion Iranian flag The monarchical shah flag at a city center in Khuramabad. But first and foremost I want to show there is footage of Iranians pleading for President Trump and other world leaders to intervene on behalf of the civilians in Iran.
Kurt Schlichter
Aye. Mr. Tenant here is mashed city Ayatollah killed my people please help to my people. Please head to come to Iran, baby Netanyahu police come to Iran Police head.
Tony Kennett (Host)
To Iranian so it's, it's, it's quite the mess. Also here's the, the footage of the Israel Iranian protesters removing the Islamic flag and replacing it with the monarchical shah flag in Khuramabad. Flag with the lion in the center. That's the monarchical flag. Now, President Trump told the phenomenal host Hugh Hewitt today about his plans and his leaning towards the exiled prince essentially attaining power in Iran.
Kurt Schlichter
It happened. Would you meet with Crown Prince Pavla who is the heir to the constitutional monarchy? He doesn't want to rule.
Governor Tim Walls
He would be a, you know, symbolic.
Interviewee / Guest (possibly a politician or commentator)
Ruler like King Charles.
Kurt Schlichter
Well, I've watched him and he seems like a nice person, but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president. I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges. I'm not sure necessarily that I, it would be an appropriate thing to do.
Tony Kennett (Host)
There you go. President making it clear whether or not he's going to put his, his chips behind the prince or not. In this case, kind of up to see whether it happens. He does have a lot of popular support on the ground. Remains to be seen. What is the situation in Iran itself right now? Protesters are burning vehicles, police vehicles. That is a lot of people. Absolute chaos in Tehran. The Internet has been cut, although Starlink is active over Iran, Elon Musk's Internet system. Also the phone lines have been cut in case you were planning on making a landline call or a collect for Al Khomeini. Now, I do appreciate the comments on the live stream saying that they can't really tell the difference between this and Tehran in Minneapolis a few years ago. Well played. Very, very well played. I, I will say that my favorite comment of the day is that been the Iranians have cut the phone lines because they're terrified Israel's going to page them. Incredible, incredible stuff. So we don't really know what's going on except a couple of moments ago we received receiving new reports. What I'm about to show you is footage from a few hours ago, but we are receiving new reports, although no accompanying footage that Additional regime buildings across the province capitals and in Tehran are currently on fire. That is a lot of people. So safe to say that there is revolution in Iran. The government has already come out with their, you know, announcement. So the fall of Iran and the rise of Persia, please, dear Lord. So that aside, I want to swing over to a little bit of the media awfulness and then we'll call it an evening. I know it's a later show and, well, let's face it, some of us are real tuckered out. So over to the media response just to. Everything is just awful. Jimmy Kimmel, who again, remember the tears and the heartfelt moment in the sweet. Oh, they tried to cancel. I'm so sorry. I would never do anything to be mean to anyone. So to. In a spirit of unity, Jimmy Kimmel has announced Donald Trump will kill you.
Kurt Schlichter
Shirts because five years.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Sorry, let me get that clip loaded. I remember now. I didn't have that one particularly ready to go. Jimmy Kimmel's Trump will kill you shirts again. I personally wouldn't have done so, but here you go.
Kurt Schlichter
You know what, maybe they're trying. I know what they're doing. They're trying out a new slogan. Donald J. Trump is gonna kill you pretty good, right? This maniac, he isn't just killing people overseas. An ICE agent today shot and killed an unarmed 37 year old woman during an ICE operation in Minneapolis.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So now that he's gonna get all, you know, really, you know, teary and again, judge, jury and executioner. There's the rhetoric, there's the language right there. Clearly, Trump's killing people, Trump's Hitler, all of this. Um, you see the same stuff over from Whoopi Goldberg. Uh, I know, I know, I hate showing you the view, but again, given that sad, depressed and angry middle aged left wing women are about half their party at this point, I mean, what, what she's saying, that that is a core demographic. You gotta admit that that is basic political research. Whoopi Goldberg is just inviting other countries to come in and attack the President of the United States. By the way, unless you are being very clearly satirical, that is also technically sedition. That is calling for the President, asking for the president to be assassinated. That is, that's very illegal. You can't do that.
Tony Kennett
Let me just say this, here's my question. Where is everybody? Where is everybody else? We come to everybody's aid.
Kurt Schlichter
Yeah.
Tony Kennett
We help everybody. NATO, they came and helped us after 9, 11. Where is everybody? Because where are you worrying about Greenland right now? But where?
Tony Kennett (Host)
So I Don't know. This one angry white woman who's dressed like what appears to be a cowboy boot with Kleenex sticking out of it, yelling about Greenland, whatever. But, Whoopi, listen to what she's saying. She's asking other countries to come in and help. Help with what?
Tony Kennett
Where is the government? We are. Do you realize we don't have a government because we don't have given all their power away. Yes, and this is a huge and should be our biggest bitch right now.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So look how she's looking around. She's trying to garner support. She's trying to get everyone rallied up because what is she saying? The other governments in the world need to come into the United States because we don't have a government. Why is she saying this?
Tony Kennett
That should be because all of this is happening because there is no one doing checks and balances.
Tony Kennett (Host)
There are. There is not a yet a federal judge the president of the United States has ignored. Not a single one. There is not a single congressional law the President of the United States has violated. There is not a single Supreme Court order the president has turned down. No, the checks and balances are working as intended. Boys, girls, and squirrels. The filibuster hasn't even been removed yet. For crying out loud, where is the government?
Tony Kennett
Why aren't they doing their job? And let me tell you, I feel.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Like, you know, sorry, you, you, you actually can't tell me what you feel like. Michelle Obama said we're not allowed to listen to what black women feel. They never talk about it. Black women never tell us how they feel. Michelle, of all, made it very clear. Sorry, Whoopi. I know you're about to, but Michelle Obama, she said that black women are not allowed to say what they feel. So you stop right there, sailor.
Tony Kennett
He, he hinted yesterday. He says he was joking, but he hinted yesterday that you can see the.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Aluminum foil starting to ooze out of her hair.
Tony Kennett
Maybe there won't be midterms. Midterms, you know, now you, you know, this is. We're in it already. Okay? We're not heading into it.
Tony Kennett (Host)
You can see the other hosts going, oh, my God, is she gonna get, like, us in serious trouble? Oh, my God, here she goes. She's out there going, now you out there. You, you out. I know you. I. Let me tell you how I feel. I know you know that, that, that the midterm. He was joking, but I know, I know. I, I, I, I licked my notebook, Pa. And I know, I know him and you, you ain't eating. She's like swiveling back and forth like they're going to have to replace the gas cylinder on her desk chair.
Tony Kennett
We're in the dung right now. Okay?
Tony Kennett (Host)
We're in the Dawell White. What did she say?
Tony Kennett
We're in it already. Ok. We're not heading into it. We're in the dung right now.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Does anyone know what. What she said? We're in the Dawel right now. Is that a phrase? We're in the. Are we in the towel right now? Get out of my bathroom while I'm showering. Whoopi Goldberg, what does in the dowel right now mean? It. Did her mom take Tylenol?
Tony Kennett
Okay, we're in it.
Tony Kennett (Host)
So her other hosts have no idea. We're in. We're in the diamond. We're in it. We're in here. The diamond. The dome. What does in the dome mean? We're in the dome. They're out of the box. Taco Bell's thinking outside the bun. Somebody's dancing in the rain. Prepositions are fun.
Tony Kennett
We really need to be paying attention to who we've given power to and if the people we've given power to. Whoever you vote for, if the person you've given power to.
Tony Kennett (Host)
She's now addressed four different cameras, the crowd. She's pointed at her, at the other host as the people in power. She thinks that Joy Behar is Donald Trump. All of that plastic surgery didn't was just for nothing.
Tony Kennett
Doesn't give a damn about you. Get him out. Yeah, yeah.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Ah, yes. Calling on other countries to come in and get the President of the United States. Now I actually. I'm sorry. I now understand why no one has arrested her over this. I don't think a lawyer could make an argument that anything she said was coherent. Boy, that's. That's real special. Usually you have to walk through Philadelphia at two in the morning to hear something like that. That's some exciting stuff. Thank you very much, Whoopi Goldberg. Excellent. Uh, so the media crew, they're. They're doing really well now don't get me wrong, the protesters aren't doing too hot either. Here is a protester at the. The ICE protests as they were. Who's her? She seems to think that ICE is who went in and captured Nicholas Maduro.
Tony Kennett
These people vote could have been avoided so many deaths. 30 plus more deaths. I don't know the exact number. In. In venezuela There were 30 plus numbers that were killed by the ICE agents in.
Tony Kennett (Host)
They killed 30 plus numbers guys. 3, 7, 9, 14 no one's heard from 17 in weeks. And, and man, I tell you what, I knew it was an expensive operation, but I really didn't think 1999 was going to make it out of there. 30 plus numbers minus numbers divided by numbers. I mean it's getting straight up logarithmic in there.
Tony Kennett
Last couple of years, so many people. These deaths can be avoided. I.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Why is the, the camera person reaching out and touching her? So she's hyperventilating. She, so she's claiming that ICE went in and took Maduro. No. Then the, the producer reaches out and I get there, there. It's okay. Those numbers, you gotta count with your hands and your feet.
Tony Kennett
Watch four or five hours of news a day.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Work 16 hours, 45 hours of news a day. Hang on.
Kurt Schlichter
What?
Tony Kennett
I watch four or five hours of news a day.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Four or five hours of news a day. Okay, I think I understand why you're so stressed. If you're watching msnbc, Ms. Now four or five hours a day, I can see where the stress is coming from.
Tony Kennett
Work 16 hours a day and it's just not enough.
Tony Kennett (Host)
You watch news for four or five hours a day and you work for 16 hours a day. You're sleeping four hours a day, three, four hours a day. And you're wondering why you're hyperventilating about Sesame Street's cast of numbers getting offed by ice.
Tony Kennett
Is same happening with public. Same is happening with the Senate and.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Everywhere it's ah, yes, my two favorite houses of Congress, the public and the Senate. Thank you, Palpatine.
Tony Kennett
It's happening everywhere. This all can be avoided.
Governor Tim Walls
Suju, thank you. Thank you so much.
Kurt Schlichter
I appreciate your time.
Tony Kennett (Host)
Yes. Oh, that was a guy. Touching her is weird. There are some skis. I know. That's like a cameraman or a reporter or maybe just some like drunk college freshman that they found over at, you know, Columbia. But you know, the reporter. I don't think you should just go around touching people. There are some skeezy dudes at these protests. It is very well known among a lot of really gross characters who brag about this quite consistently that one of the easiest ways to take advantage of a woman is to go to a left wing protest. Because those are some unhinged people now. Cool tip for life. Don't sleep with crazy. Don't date crazy. You see that look in the eyes, you run. Now she was wearing sunglasses. Maybe she was watching news. Really the best thing to ask anyone is which numbers they think are still with us. Just kind of look at Them a little closely, see how they respond. Could be letters next. I don't know. And what does that make for? I know I'm not going to carry that joke any further. It's been, it's. That horse is very dead at this point, ladies and gentlemen. I gotta be honest with you. I'm very optimistic for a lot of people in this country. I'm very optimistic that the general direction of how people view news, of how people view things that are important like this country and its culture, are headed in a positive direction. Unfortunately, while we are in the process of heading in that positive direction, there are individuals who are heading in the complete opposite and are getting more violent and more angry and are screaming things like, well, here in Minneapolis, and I quote, this is from an hour ago, Christy Noem will hang the Minneapolis peaceful protesters, ladies and gentlemen. Good, good. Just excellent. So, yeah, while I am optimistic for a lot of the country. Yeah, it still needs prayer. Go touch some grass. Go talk with your family. Don't work 16 hours a day and then watch four or five hours of news a day. The numbers aren't dying by ice in Venezuela. Don't go outside in Minnesota and yell that you want to hang individuals. Not a good idea. No matter who it is. Not a good idea. Folks, It's really hard to make me speechless on this show, but as Tim Wall said, It's 1863 and he's gonna deploy the National Guard to the elementary schools. All right, I'd say that's about enough for now. So as far as that's concerned, I'm gonna level with you. I'm not entirely sure how much of the show we'll have tomorrow. Not because of any big breaking news. The Peach bowl is tomorrow and I need to watch coach Kurt Signetti go up against Oregon. Oregon was versus IU was my favorite game in the first season. Producer Daniel wasn't there. Oh, yes. There are two excellent people to thank on the the Super Chats here at the end of the show. Thank you for reminding me. Producer Daniel at UK NX, WME. $5 super chat. Very kind of you. We need to change voting laws. It's insane. These people can vote. Starship Troopers. Robert Heinlein. Good read. Pick it up. Get back to me from Kerry Lawson. 7515. Five dollar super chat. Very nice. Outstanding show. That's very sweet of you, Carrie. Thank you. We really appreciate it. I don't know. The game's at 7:30 and WIBC is not preempt and none of the guest hosts oh, actually, Ethan Hatcher's guest hosting on wibc, so I wonder if I can get streaming rights and do commentary on politics and the IU Oregon game. Guess not. Well, we'll find out. It's the Tony Kinnit cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on the 93 WIBC radio station. Don't commit fraud, don't threaten to hang people, don't gun your vehicles at police officers, and most importantly, take care of.
Title: Tim Walz Threatens Insurrection as DOJ Prepares Indictment, Iran in Revolution
Date: January 9, 2026
Host: Tony Kinnett
Guest: Kurt Schlichter (Townhall.com columnist)
Production: The Daily Signal
In this high-energy episode of The Tony Kinnett Cast, host Tony Kinnett dives into two escalating situations: 1) the fallout after a controversial police shooting in Minneapolis and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's incendiary response, and 2) the ongoing revolution in Iran. The episode explores state-federal legal conflicts, left-wing protest tactics, federal law enforcement controversies, media narratives, political hypocrisy, and the wider implications for U.S. politics and foreign policy.
On Walz’s Rhetoric:
“Tim Walz is out here, otherwise known as General Leotard…He’s like Gettysburging it up.”
— Tony Kinnett (30:46)
On Legal Precedent:
“Eisenhower wasn’t having anything to do with that…But, you know, Donald Trump would be perfectly happy to… call up the Insurrection Act.”
— Kurt Schlichter (32:43)
On Media Narratives:
“Now the old adage, ‘what you see is what you believe,’ feels outdated. In this era, what you believe is what you’ll see.”
— Tony Kinnett (20:12)
On Legal Observers:
“What in the world is legal observing? …No, that’s not a thing.”
— Tony Kinnett (10:44)
On Protest Tactics:
“Jumping in front of vehicles—not the smartest thing to do, apparently.”
— Tony Kinnett (07:40)
On Fraud:
“There could be $9 billion or more…and Noem is just suggesting they took hundreds of people off the street who were involved in fraud.”
— Tony Kinnett (65:44–66:09)
On Iran:
“There are protests and riots erupting across all 31 provinces of Iran. The regime’s hold is deteriorating.”
— Tony Kinnett (73:57)
On Fomenting Violence:
“Jimmy Kimmel has announced Donald Trump will kill you.”
— Tony Kinnett (78:41)

The episode offers a no-holds-barred conservative analysis of political and law enforcement conflicts in Minnesota, critiques mainstream and left-leaning media and politicians, and comments on fraud within Democratic states’ welfare programs. The host and guests use humor, metaphor, and biting sarcasm to illustrate how partisan rhetoric, media spin, and government overreach fuel chaos and distrust. The episode closes with a glance at foreign crises (notably Iran) and the host’s encouragement for listeners to “touch grass” and stay grounded amid constant media-driven outrage.
For listeners seeking a comprehensive conservative take — equal parts legal analysis, media critique, and cultural commentary — this episode delivers a punchy and provocative breakdown of America’s political flashpoints and public discourse.
