Charlie Kirk Today | Eric Schmitt: January 9, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 9, 2026

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:13.837
The main story of the day, obviously, is minneapolis.
00:00:14.904 --> 00:00:17.574
Oh, yes. exactly.
00:00:17.574 --> 00:00:18.775
Why don't you set the table for us?
00:00:18.775 --> 00:00:20.677
What happened in minneapolis
00:00:20.677 --> 00:00:22.312
Was happening during the show yesterday.
00:00:22.312 --> 00:00:23.980
So what happens is ice has surged into minneapolis.
00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:26.449
They're doing, raids and by extension,
00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:29.619
We're getting all the things
00:00:29.619 --> 00:00:30.753
That the left has trained people to do against ice.
00:00:30.753 --> 00:00:33.423
And last year you have people following them,
00:00:33.423 --> 00:00:35.024
You have people harassing them.
00:00:35.024 --> 00:00:35.959
You have people trying to clog up traffic.
00:00:35.959 --> 00:00:37.994
And unfortunate
00:00:37.994 --> 00:00:39.062
Early yesterday, it did result in a fatal shooting.
00:00:39.062 --> 00:00:42.432
And i guess we may as well just play it.
00:00:42.432 --> 00:00:44.501
So, this occurred yesterday in somewhere in minneapolis.
00:00:44.501 --> 00:00:48.338
Let's play 275.
00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:51.541
They're approaching and they're saying, get out of the car.
00:00:52.709 --> 00:00:55.011
Get out of the car!
00:00:55.011 --> 00:00:56.079
She backs up and then she accelerates away.
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.215
And what happens is
00:00:59.215 --> 00:01:00.884
There was an ice agent behind the one you could see
00:01:00.884 --> 00:01:03.887
Approaching the side, who was directly in front.
00:01:03.887 --> 00:01:05.989
He was in front of the car and she sort of turns away from.
00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:08.725
But she brushes against his leg
00:01:08.725 --> 00:01:10.760
And he'd already, i believe, drawn his weapon at that point.
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.663
And i think in the split second he reached the conclusion
00:01:13.663 --> 00:01:16.666
She was possibly trying to run him over,
00:01:16.666 --> 00:01:18.668
And he shot through
00:01:18.668 --> 00:01:19.669
The front window and killed her instantly.
00:01:19.669 --> 00:01:22.639
And then you can see it in slow motion right there.
00:01:22.639 --> 00:01:24.274
There's a second angle, which clearly shows
00:01:24.274 --> 00:01:26.509
That the ice agent was actually hit.
00:01:26.509 --> 00:01:28.711
It clipped.
00:01:28.711 --> 00:01:29.913
And there's you can also see her wheels are spinning out
00:01:29.913 --> 00:01:33.650
Because it was icy. it's cold.
00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:35.285
Her wheels spin out.
00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:36.986
She's that when the shot is fired, if you freeze frame it,
00:01:36.986 --> 00:01:41.724
Her wheels are actually turned towards the ice.
00:01:41.724 --> 00:01:44.928
Officer i suspect that the wheels only turn to the right
00:01:44.928 --> 00:01:49.899
Once the officer drew, his his firearm.
00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:53.269
I looked at this clip by clip last night.
00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:54.938
Here's what's interesting, though.
00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:56.039
This 37 year old woman, apparently she has
00:01:56.039 --> 00:01:58.942
A, female, partner.
00:01:58.942 --> 00:02:02.212
The kid.
00:02:02.478 --> 00:02:03.880
First question.
00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:04.547
I don't know what,
00:02:04.547 --> 00:02:05.782
37 year old woman is with a kid is doing out there, going
00:02:05.782 --> 00:02:08.918
Head to head with ice agents, doing some sort
00:02:08.918 --> 00:02:10.887
Of, like, citizen vigilante, you know, observing.
00:02:10.887 --> 00:02:14.591
That's not observing. she was obstructing.
00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:16.859
And here's a witness that actually basically defines
00:02:16.859 --> 00:02:20.230
This lady as the main car leading the protest.
00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:23.700
281 they clearly wanted her out of there, because she
00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:27.537
Was the main car leading the,
00:02:27.537 --> 00:02:29.706
The protest is my understanding.
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:32.408
I talked to another guy who is driving behind her.
00:02:32.408 --> 00:02:35.144
But she was she was very,
00:02:35.144 --> 00:02:40.583
She was very successful in blocking traffic.
00:02:41.484 --> 00:02:43.286
She was doing what she was she what she was set out to do.
00:02:43.286 --> 00:02:45.955
And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.
00:02:45.955 --> 00:02:49.959
Yeah.
00:02:50.193 --> 00:02:51.261
So it looked like she was impeding ice vehicle.
00:02:51.261 --> 00:02:53.529
Definitely. yeah. that was her goal.
00:02:53.529 --> 00:02:55.064
That was her goal.
00:02:55.064 --> 00:02:57.000
Well, so i think my read on it is i don't believe
00:02:55.965 --> 00:03:00.136
She was attempting to run anyone over.
00:03:00.136 --> 00:03:02.105
I think there's been a growth of violent rhetoric against ice
00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:05.575
Intended to de-legitimize it as an institution.
00:03:05.575 --> 00:03:09.145
I know we have some clips related to that.
00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:11.147
So most recently we had, democrat representative
00:03:11.147 --> 00:03:13.449
Joe morrell says there is no no violent rhetoric against ice.
00:03:13.449 --> 00:03:16.753
He hasn't seen that.
00:03:16.753 --> 00:03:17.720
There's no anywhere. he said there was none.
00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:19.389
We'll show that clip 279 frankly,
00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:21.691
What's really frustrating about this?
00:03:21.691 --> 00:03:23.226
I saw speaker johnson's comments, who immediately says
00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:26.896
That there's been this effort to encourage
00:03:26.896 --> 00:03:30.033
People to engage in violence with law enforcement officers.
00:03:30.033 --> 00:03:33.169
That's not true. i haven't seen that anywhere.
00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:35.171
Okay, well, that's not true.
00:03:35.171 --> 00:03:36.673
Our team whipped up a montage of some stuff.
00:03:36.673 --> 00:03:38.775
Let's play a clip.
00:03:38.775 --> 00:03:40.543
When i see, i see slave patrols picked up by,
00:03:40.543 --> 00:03:43.446
You know, hooded thugs in the street,
00:03:43.446 --> 00:03:45.114
You know, thugs, nondescript thugs.
00:03:45.114 --> 00:03:48.584
It's just immigration thuggery, like vigilantes.
00:03:48.584 --> 00:03:51.421
Ice is a terrorist organization.
00:03:51.421 --> 00:03:53.289
And kidnaping and disappearing.
00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:55.458
People stealing and, yes, kidnaping people.
00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:58.094
The vice mayor allegedly calling on gang members
00:03:58.094 --> 00:04:00.863
To, defend the city from these immigration raids.
00:04:00.863 --> 00:04:03.366
I want to know where other travelers are at
00:04:03.366 --> 00:04:05.802
In los angeles.
00:04:05.802 --> 00:04:06.903
Stop mass ice agents from deporting our neighbor.
00:04:06.903 --> 00:04:11.007
Every single one of them,
00:04:11.007 --> 00:04:12.608
No matter what it takes, no
00:04:13.209 --> 00:04:14.410
Matter how long it takes, will, of course, be identified.
00:04:14.410 --> 00:04:17.146
Our police do not cooperate with ice.
00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:20.850
Our local police department
00:04:20.850 --> 00:04:23.586
Will not ever cooperate
00:04:23.586 --> 00:04:27.557
With ice.
00:04:27.857 --> 00:04:29.025
Democrats told to get shot for the anti-trump resistance.
00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:32.695
There needs to be blood
00:04:32.695 --> 00:04:34.163
To grab the attention of the press and the public.
00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:36.933
That last one is the really revealing one, and like
00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:40.937
And you can find more.
00:04:40.937 --> 00:04:42.138
You can find articles that call them the american gestapo.
00:04:42.138 --> 00:04:44.507
You can find tweets and, blue sky,
00:04:44.507 --> 00:04:46.976
Whatever they call a blue sky post.
00:04:46.976 --> 00:04:48.978
Like the american ss.
00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:50.747
Oh, we have him.
00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:52.181
I'll have to complete this after afterwards
00:04:52.181 --> 00:04:53.883
With the sense.
00:04:53.883 --> 00:04:54.984
All right, let's jump to the senator. right. yeah.
00:04:54.984 --> 00:04:56.119
Senator eric schmidt, welcome to the show.
00:04:56.119 --> 00:04:57.954
You are a former state ag of the great state of missouri,
00:04:57.954 --> 00:05:01.824
And you're a lawyer.
00:05:01.824 --> 00:05:03.760
You know, there is this whole back and forth on line.
00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:07.530
Vice president jd vance chimed in.
00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:10.133
I thought this was
00:05:10.133 --> 00:05:10.767
I literally did not realize
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:12.668
This would be a contentious point.
00:05:12.668 --> 00:05:15.104
One of the points that the left is making is that
00:05:15.104 --> 00:05:17.473
This shooting was unjustified, because this woman is a u.s.
00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:20.443
Citizen, and this ice agent is not a cop, it's an ice agent.
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:24.480
So, the u.s.
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.482
Citizens don't have to obey orders from an ice agent.
00:05:26.482 --> 00:05:31.087
Yeah, i don't
00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:32.422
That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard.
00:05:32.422 --> 00:05:33.890
That's,
00:05:33.890 --> 00:05:35.691
First of all, what it appears and what i saw
00:05:35.691 --> 00:05:38.795
On a couple of angles on the video is that, she was
00:05:38.795 --> 00:05:41.564
Impeding, efforts by ice agents to do their jobs.
00:05:41.564 --> 00:05:45.001
You're not supposed to be able to do that.
00:05:45.001 --> 00:05:46.736
She was given direction to sort of stop doing that.
00:05:46.736 --> 00:05:50.706
And then this ice officer was struck.
00:05:50.706 --> 00:05:52.942
And, when you put that in the context of, vehicular
00:05:52.942 --> 00:05:56.979
Assaults up over 1,000% across the country on ice agents
00:05:56.979 --> 00:06:00.883
In the demonization that's happened over the course
00:06:00.883 --> 00:06:03.419
Of the last year by the left against ice agents.
00:06:03.419 --> 00:06:05.488
It's created a powder keg, guys.
00:06:05.488 --> 00:06:07.023
Like, i was in a committee hearing and talked about this.
00:06:07.023 --> 00:06:09.992
The democrats rhetoric on this is insane.
00:06:09.992 --> 00:06:12.495
But as far as this goes, specifically,
00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:14.597
If the officer fears, for his life or significant
00:06:14.597 --> 00:06:18.100
Body bodily harm, he can defend himself,
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.869
Which is what was happening there, right?
00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:21.671
I mean, the angle of, you know,
00:06:21.671 --> 00:06:23.906
By the way, you notice the the tires sort of skid
00:06:23.906 --> 00:06:26.476
Out, too,
00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:27.043
Which also reveals that
00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:28.377
The car was a little bit out of sort of control.
00:06:28.377 --> 00:06:31.147
But appears to be from everything
00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:34.317
That i've seen, justified.
00:06:34.317 --> 00:06:35.885
It's a tragic situation.
00:06:35.885 --> 00:06:37.220
I mean, any time
00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:38.321
You have a loss of life, it's a tragic situation.
00:06:38.321 --> 00:06:39.989
But what's
00:06:39.989 --> 00:06:41.090
Really strange about all this is that the democrats,
00:06:41.090 --> 00:06:44.560
I'm surprised, this this this hadn't happened sooner.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.631
But they continue to sort of create these, conditions
00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:52.268
For confrontations with ice agents who are
00:06:52.268 --> 00:06:54.971
Supposed to do their jobs.
00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:56.072
And one last point, like deportations are nothing
00:06:56.072 --> 00:06:58.841
New like bill clinton deported millions of people.
00:06:58.841 --> 00:07:02.712
What's different
00:07:02.712 --> 00:07:03.679
Now is the democrats actually in the left.
00:07:03.679 --> 00:07:06.015
They don't actually believe in borders.
00:07:06.015 --> 00:07:08.184
They don't actually believe that,
00:07:08.184 --> 00:07:10.152
That anybody should ever have to go home,
00:07:10.152 --> 00:07:12.121
That once you're here,
00:07:12.121 --> 00:07:12.922
You should stay here in perpetuity.
00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.824
And they've created the villains.
00:07:14.824 --> 00:07:16.058
These ice agents were fathers and sons and daughters
00:07:16.058 --> 00:07:19.128
And aunts and uncles who are just doing their jobs.
00:07:19.128 --> 00:07:22.031
And what you'll never hear the left say,
00:07:22.031 --> 00:07:24.066
You'll never hear him say, this, guys, is you know what?
00:07:24.066 --> 00:07:26.936
Step away
00:07:26.936 --> 00:07:27.803
And let the ice agents do their jobs
00:07:27.803 --> 00:07:30.072
Because they don't want them to.
00:07:30.072 --> 00:07:31.541
They don't want them to.
00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:32.575
So it's it's a terrible situation.
00:07:32.575 --> 00:07:34.510
But, yes, an american citizen has to obey orders
00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:39.615
From ice agents
00:07:39.615 --> 00:07:40.750
When they're impeding the progress
00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:42.518
Of what the ice agents are trying to do.
00:07:42.518 --> 00:07:43.786
And you certainly don't have
00:07:43.786 --> 00:07:44.921
The right to try to run them over. hang right there.
00:07:44.921 --> 00:07:47.523
Hang right there. senator. we'll be right back.
00:07:47.523 --> 00:07:52.495
The wounds from
00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:53.863
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:53.863 --> 00:07:56.999
Behind me rises
00:07:57.366 --> 00:07:58.568
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:58.568 --> 00:08:02.238
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:08:02.238 --> 00:08:05.975
Entire communities shattered.
00:08:06.609 --> 00:08:08.711
Families displaced.
00:08:08.711 --> 00:08:10.446
And each day,
00:08:10.446 --> 00:08:11.547
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:08:11.547 --> 00:08:15.518
But the bible says it clearly.
00:08:15.518 --> 00:08:17.787
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:08:17.787 --> 00:08:21.958
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:08:21.958 --> 00:08:23.726
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:08:23.726 --> 00:08:26.262
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:08:26.262 --> 00:08:28.831
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:30.666
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:08:30.666 --> 00:08:32.868
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:35.304
And the traumatized.
00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:36.872
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:08:36.872 --> 00:08:39.875
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:39.875 --> 00:08:43.079
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:43.079 --> 00:08:46.115
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:46.115 --> 00:08:49.085
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:49.085 --> 00:08:52.009
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:52.009 --> 00:08:58.131
Why did this happen?
00:08:58.598 --> 00:08:59.332
This happened
00:08:59.332 --> 00:09:00.500
Because we already had car ramming attacks on ice agents.
00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.303
We've seen people encouraged to use cars as a weapon.
00:09:03.303 --> 00:09:06.006
This is directly encouraged by a lot of lawmakers.
00:09:06.006 --> 00:09:09.776
I feel at some point
00:09:09.776 --> 00:09:11.511
There's got to be room for prosecuting someone in that.
00:09:11.511 --> 00:09:14.948
They are basically developing a conspiracy to sabotage
00:09:14.948 --> 00:09:18.818
Federal law enforcement in their city or in their state.
00:09:18.818 --> 00:09:22.622
Yeah, well, i do think that, yeah, the,
00:09:22.622 --> 00:09:26.393
Federal prosecutors should be very aggressive
00:09:26.393 --> 00:09:28.662
In this regard to send a very clear message.
00:09:28.662 --> 00:09:31.197
But the democrats in the
00:09:31.197 --> 00:09:33.600
They've they're seizing on this.
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.468
And, and i have to say, just from a stepping away
00:09:35.468 --> 00:09:38.071
From a pure political perspective here now,
00:09:38.071 --> 00:09:41.341
They can't help themselves.
00:09:41.941 --> 00:09:43.343
This is such a part of their dna.
00:09:43.343 --> 00:09:45.145
Now, it reminds me a lot of the kind of beginnings
00:09:45.145 --> 00:09:47.847
Of the defund the police movement.
00:09:47.847 --> 00:09:49.749
That then became to define their party.
00:09:49.749 --> 00:09:52.719
This is them not wanting law enforcement to do their jobs.
00:09:52.719 --> 00:09:55.889
They're willing to dox these people.
00:09:55.889 --> 00:09:57.390
They're willing to, you know, try to run over them
00:09:57.390 --> 00:10:00.226
And then that's the,
00:10:00.694 --> 00:10:01.761
You know, then you have the antifa element,
00:10:01.761 --> 00:10:03.363
Which are sort of the foot soldiers
00:10:03.363 --> 00:10:04.597
Of all this who deliberately, you know, throw firecrackers to
00:10:04.597 --> 00:10:08.368
To lure ice agents out of federal facilities
00:10:08.368 --> 00:10:11.204
So they can be assaulted.
00:10:11.204 --> 00:10:13.173
They have safe houses.
00:10:13.173 --> 00:10:14.340
So you have a more organized effort with antifa for sure.
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:17.544
Which is why we were successful in petitioning with,
00:10:17.544 --> 00:10:20.313
Marco rubio to not only have them
00:10:20.313 --> 00:10:22.215
Be declared a domestic terrorist organization,
00:10:22.215 --> 00:10:24.317
But also a foreign terrorist organization
00:10:24.317 --> 00:10:27.153
To get after their funding and shut
00:10:27.153 --> 00:10:28.955
These people down internationally.
00:10:28.955 --> 00:10:30.623
That's all part of this, but it's very coordinated.
00:10:30.623 --> 00:10:32.826
There's no doubt they share tactics
00:10:32.826 --> 00:10:35.028
And you create dangerous situations
00:10:35.028 --> 00:10:36.763
Like the one you had in in minnesota.
00:10:36.763 --> 00:10:38.398
These are they call them citizens observers.
00:10:38.398 --> 00:10:40.633
And they end up being, you know, harassers, stalkers
00:10:40.633 --> 00:10:43.636
Of ice agents, dhs, border patrol.
00:10:43.636 --> 00:10:46.606
And they are sophisticated.
00:10:46.606 --> 00:10:48.041
They have lawyers standing by that are paid
00:10:48.041 --> 00:10:50.076
For by a network of ngos that are financed by
00:10:50.076 --> 00:10:52.846
God knows who.
00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:54.581
And this is increasing this tactic of ramming
00:10:54.581 --> 00:10:57.383
And harassing ice agents is increasing.
00:10:57.383 --> 00:10:59.586
Let's hear from secretary nome directly on this.
00:10:59.586 --> 00:11:01.521
299 today, alone in this country,
00:11:01.521 --> 00:11:04.691
There have been four different domestic terrorist attacks
00:11:04.691 --> 00:11:07.827
On federal officers.
00:11:07.827 --> 00:11:09.195
By the ramming of vehicles.
00:11:09.195 --> 00:11:10.930
Three of them happened here in minneapolis.
00:11:10.930 --> 00:11:13.800
We've seen over 100 of these vehicle ramming happen
00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:17.170
In just recent weeks.
00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:18.671
And this must stop.
00:11:18.671 --> 00:11:20.473
Ice alone is facing a 1,300% increase
00:11:20.473 --> 00:11:24.077
In assaults against them, and an 8,000%
00:11:24.077 --> 00:11:26.980
Increase in death threats against all of them.
00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:29.783
In fact, the very same officer who was attacked today
00:11:29.783 --> 00:11:32.952
Had previously been dragged by an anti ice rider
00:11:32.952 --> 00:11:36.222
Who had rammed him with a car and drug him back in june.
00:11:36.222 --> 00:11:40.126
He sustained injuries at that time as well.
00:11:40.126 --> 00:11:42.362
Yeah, this is so it's increasing obviously.
00:11:42.362 --> 00:11:45.298
Here's my question for you.
00:11:45.298 --> 00:11:46.599
Slightly off topic of that though.
00:11:46.599 --> 00:11:48.535
You have local officials.
00:11:48.535 --> 00:11:49.936
The local police
00:11:49.936 --> 00:11:50.804
Chief says he will arrest this person
00:11:50.804 --> 00:11:52.939
If he gets an order from a judge.
00:11:52.939 --> 00:11:54.474
You have city council members
00:11:54.474 --> 00:11:55.642
That are saying this person needs to be arrested.
00:11:55.642 --> 00:11:57.210
Lieutenant governor is saying
00:11:57.210 --> 00:11:58.812
That it's absolutely a possibility.
00:11:58.812 --> 00:12:00.513
So if he faces state charges, but federally,
00:12:00.513 --> 00:12:03.183
Everybody's saying he's fine.
00:12:03.183 --> 00:12:04.484
What then happens next?
00:12:04.484 --> 00:12:06.653
Yeah.
00:12:06.886 --> 00:12:07.821
Well, first of all, let me just point out.
00:12:07.821 --> 00:12:09.022
And i was in the oval office actually yesterday afternoon
00:12:09.022 --> 00:12:11.491
When this kind of news broke
00:12:11.491 --> 00:12:12.659
And i was with the president and learned about
00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:15.261
Even then as secretary.
00:12:15.261 --> 00:12:16.863
No mentioned that this, this officer in particular
00:12:16.863 --> 00:12:19.899
Had been dragged just a few months ago. right.
00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:21.768
So, like this person in particular had been involved
00:12:21.768 --> 00:12:24.571
In another one of these incidents.
00:12:24.571 --> 00:12:25.538
But to answer your sort
00:12:25.538 --> 00:12:26.673
Of legal question, what will happen if that?
00:12:26.673 --> 00:12:28.575
And i keith ellison is, is a clown.
00:12:28.575 --> 00:12:31.211
So i would imagine that the temptation for him
00:12:31.211 --> 00:12:35.715
Not to show the restraint that you're supposed to
00:12:35.715 --> 00:12:37.550
As an attorney general, i mean, i,
00:12:37.550 --> 00:12:38.585
I wrote a book, the last line of defense,
00:12:38.585 --> 00:12:40.687
On all the stuff i did as attorney general.
00:12:40.687 --> 00:12:42.188
You could write another book on all the things you didn't
00:12:42.188 --> 00:12:43.990
Do, because you want people
00:12:43.990 --> 00:12:45.358
In those positions that have some regard for the law.
00:12:45.358 --> 00:12:48.261
Right? because it's a very powerful position.
00:12:48.261 --> 00:12:50.296
So if he does charge the officer, what will happen
00:12:50.296 --> 00:12:53.800
Then is that case, because of their federal
00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:56.636
Agents, would likely be removed to federal court.
00:12:56.636 --> 00:13:00.240
So, because of the supremacy clause issues
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.076
That would likely be removed,
00:13:03.076 --> 00:13:04.444
And then he would have all the defenses available.
00:13:04.444 --> 00:13:06.246
He would in the federal court system.
00:13:06.246 --> 00:13:07.747
So i don't think there's any chance
00:13:07.747 --> 00:13:09.315
That this would stay in state court, quite frankly.
00:13:09.315 --> 00:13:12.018
But that might be the move that ellison wants.
00:13:12.018 --> 00:13:14.320
We'll see.
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.288
This whole incident takes place, obviously,
00:13:15.288 --> 00:13:17.891
Upon this somali backdrop, the fraud rings.
00:13:17.891 --> 00:13:20.660
You are introducing legislation to be able
00:13:20.660 --> 00:13:23.463
To naturalize people that become citizens.
00:13:23.463 --> 00:13:26.199
Tell us about it.
00:13:26.199 --> 00:13:27.467
Yeah, it's called the scan act.
00:13:28.101 --> 00:13:29.435
And,
00:13:29.435 --> 00:13:30.270
I think what we've seen in minneapolis
00:13:30.270 --> 00:13:32.272
And by the way, i think
00:13:32.272 --> 00:13:33.206
Is probably just the tip of the iceberg,
00:13:33.206 --> 00:13:34.407
But particularly in the somali strongholds
00:13:34.407 --> 00:13:36.576
Across the country, we've seen this kind of abuse,
00:13:36.576 --> 00:13:38.745
Which is really kind of pathological.
00:13:38.745 --> 00:13:40.446
There ought to be a response
00:13:40.446 --> 00:13:42.015
And the response should be swift.
00:13:42.015 --> 00:13:43.216
So one, we should move forward with stricter fraud controls
00:13:43.216 --> 00:13:46.519
As a condition for being able to accept money.
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.289
There needs to be greater verification
00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:51.357
There really isn't a good mechanism right now
00:13:51.357 --> 00:13:53.826
That if you're not that person you say you're going to be,
00:13:53.826 --> 00:13:56.095
That you would be naturalized and sent back home.
00:13:56.095 --> 00:13:58.598
That's what this legislation will do or say.
00:13:58.598 --> 00:14:00.400
Look, if you if you're part of these scams,
00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:02.969
If you join a cartel,
00:14:02.969 --> 00:14:04.504
If you are involved in a violent felony, guess what?
00:14:04.504 --> 00:14:07.540
We're going to naturalize you
00:14:07.540 --> 00:14:08.975
And send you back where you came from.
00:14:08.975 --> 00:14:10.910
Well, i 100% support it.
00:14:10.910 --> 00:14:12.812
In 20s, senator, is there any chance of it passing?
00:14:12.812 --> 00:14:17.884
I mean, we'll see.
00:14:18.318 --> 00:14:19.118
We're going to have a house partner.
00:14:19.118 --> 00:14:21.087
Hopefully the house would move it quickly.
00:14:21.087 --> 00:14:22.989
And then we'll try to move forward in the senate on it.
00:14:22.989 --> 00:14:25.124
I mean, look,
00:14:25.124 --> 00:14:26.459
We have to have a response to this kind of stuff.
00:14:26.459 --> 00:14:28.761
Yes. but, you know, i worry the democrats are so in,
00:14:28.761 --> 00:14:32.365
In, in for this mass migration criteria for their party.
00:14:32.365 --> 00:14:35.335
It's in their dna.
00:14:35.335 --> 00:14:36.269
But we're going to work hard on it.
00:14:36.269 --> 00:14:37.403
Well, i yeah, i mean, i worry about, republicans too.
00:14:37.403 --> 00:14:41.407
You're one of the great ones, you know.
00:14:41.407 --> 00:14:43.276
I guess that's right.
00:14:43.276 --> 00:14:44.243
Yeah, yeah. senator, we have your back 100%.
00:14:44.243 --> 00:14:46.612
Keep keep pushing this.
00:14:46.612 --> 00:14:47.747
It's important if we don't get it this round,
00:14:47.747 --> 00:14:49.482
You keep expanding the overton window.
00:14:49.482 --> 00:14:51.484
Thank you. sir. thank you for making the time.
00:14:51.484 --> 00:14:53.820
We'll talk to you soon.
00:14:53.820 --> 00:15:00.159
Where are
00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:01.728
The tears from the pain.
00:15:01.728 --> 00:15:04.063
The life that she lived.
00:15:04.063 --> 00:15:06.199
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:09.635
The years that they would just beat her ears.
00:15:09.635 --> 00:15:12.405
That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:15:12.405 --> 00:15:15.708
And our answer is love.
00:15:16.209 --> 00:15:19.445
Before, with a gift of only $25.
00:15:19.445 --> 00:15:22.648
You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
00:15:22.648 --> 00:15:25.818
Of an elderly jew in need.
00:15:25.818 --> 00:15:28.554
I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
00:15:28.554 --> 00:15:31.557
There are good people today.
00:15:31.557 --> 00:15:33.359

And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.
00:15:38.531 --> 00:15:42.402
This is a holy moment.
00:15:42.402 --> 00:15:44.170
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:15:44.170 --> 00:15:47.573
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:15:47.573 --> 00:15:51.411
And being part of their redemption and our own.
00:15:51.411 --> 00:15:54.914

Please call, scan or go online now.
00:15:59.004 --> 00:16:04.283
I wanted to bring on michelle tendler.
00:16:05.117 --> 00:16:07.787
She had a tweet that went extraordinarily viral
00:16:07.787 --> 00:16:11.157
About mom, donnie's new tenant director in new york city.
00:16:11.157 --> 00:16:15.561
She is now the head.
00:16:16.028 --> 00:16:17.063
Her name is c, a weaver, and she is
00:16:17.063 --> 00:16:20.032
Boy, is she a peach. blake.
00:16:20.633 --> 00:16:22.068
She is an absolute peach.
00:16:22.068 --> 00:16:24.603
And, to help us unpack just what a peach she is,
00:16:24.603 --> 00:16:28.908
I wanted to bring in michelle handler.
00:16:28.908 --> 00:16:30.643
She has her website is notes from the front.com.
00:16:30.643 --> 00:16:34.313
She is based in new york city.
00:16:34.313 --> 00:16:35.815
She's fighting the good fight.
00:16:35.815 --> 00:16:37.450
Michelle, welcome to the show. hi.
00:16:37.450 --> 00:16:41.053
Thank you for having me.
00:16:41.053 --> 00:16:42.188
Absolutely, very, very good to have you.
00:16:42.188 --> 00:16:44.290
Your tweet was illuminating.
00:16:44.290 --> 00:16:46.492
It was, illuminating.
00:16:46.492 --> 00:16:47.927
And it was, it crazy because she's scrubbed her
00:16:47.927 --> 00:16:51.397
Social media accounts and her crazy tweets,
00:16:51.397 --> 00:16:54.400
But you grabbed these and screenshotted them
00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:56.702
And made sure the world still had access to them.
00:16:56.702 --> 00:16:59.438
And, blake, why don't you just set the table for why?
00:16:59.438 --> 00:17:03.142
Why this is important?
00:17:03.142 --> 00:17:04.210
Because there's two real competing visions, right?
00:17:04.210 --> 00:17:06.445
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:06.445 --> 00:17:07.446
So we want to talk about this, obviously, it's
00:17:07.446 --> 00:17:09.548
Especially big news yesterday.
00:17:09.548 --> 00:17:10.683
So yesterday,
00:17:10.683 --> 00:17:11.884
President trump announces he's going to take steps to stop
00:17:11.884 --> 00:17:15.154
Very large institutional investors.
00:17:15.154 --> 00:17:17.423
Blackrock is the mean one.
00:17:17.423 --> 00:17:18.691
But there's others from owning single family homes.
00:17:18.691 --> 00:17:21.861
And this was a hobby horse of charlie's.
00:17:21.861 --> 00:17:24.296
He talked about the need you need ownership.
00:17:24.296 --> 00:17:26.966
You need people to own a stake in society.
00:17:26.966 --> 00:17:30.102
So we talked a lot about
00:17:30.102 --> 00:17:31.470
Young families owning homes, getting
00:17:31.470 --> 00:17:33.372
Access to those things. now,
00:17:33.372 --> 00:17:35.741
Housing affordability is also a topic on the left.
00:17:35.741 --> 00:17:38.410
Both sides talk about it
00:17:38.410 --> 00:17:39.378
And charlie would talk about that choice.
00:17:39.378 --> 00:17:41.280
Mamdani ism versus maga.
00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:43.149
And so i think president trump's actions are hopefully,
00:17:43.149 --> 00:17:45.784
You know, the maga version of this.
00:17:45.784 --> 00:17:46.952
But we are seeing mamdani is sort of the avatar
00:17:46.952 --> 00:17:51.457
For what the left is considering to do on housing.
00:17:51.457 --> 00:17:54.860
And he has this new
00:17:55.327 --> 00:17:58.297
Advocate for tenants or whatever
00:17:58.998 --> 00:18:00.733
Her office is, ceo weaver, and she has some very radical
00:18:00.733 --> 00:18:05.471
Takes of her own
00:18:05.471 --> 00:18:06.472
That i think are a good insight into to what?
00:18:06.472 --> 00:18:09.708
Oh, it's an inside hearing into the leftist mind.
00:18:09.708 --> 00:18:12.945
Scary ways.
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:14.480
So, michelle, why don't you just take this away from us?
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.248
So, what, you logged a bunch of her statements.
00:18:16.248 --> 00:18:18.517
You you were very clever.
00:18:18.517 --> 00:18:19.685
You logged all the things she'd said
00:18:19.685 --> 00:18:21.320
Before they got any attention before they could get deleted.
00:18:21.320 --> 00:18:24.056
What were you able to find?
00:18:24.056 --> 00:18:26.091
Yeah, i wish i had captured more.
00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:29.261
I took these back
00:18:29.261 --> 00:18:30.362
In september, actually, when she first was sort of,
00:18:30.362 --> 00:18:34.600
I first came across
00:18:34.600 --> 00:18:35.568
Her, her as a person, her twitter account,
00:18:35.568 --> 00:18:38.370
And just saw a lot of stuff that was pretty concerning.
00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:40.606
So i took some screenshots back in september,
00:18:40.606 --> 00:18:44.743
I was planning
00:18:44.743 --> 00:18:45.711
To write a thread on her views on housing,
00:18:45.711 --> 00:18:47.680
Since she was the housing advisor for his campaign,
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.848
And a lot of her
00:18:49.848 --> 00:18:50.816
Beliefs are pretty destructive, in my opinion.
00:18:50.816 --> 00:18:52.618
So i screenshot a bunch of her stuff,
00:18:52.618 --> 00:18:55.354
Also to some of her other views that were pretty offensive.
00:18:55.354 --> 00:18:57.923
She has a lot of really offensive things to say about
00:18:57.923 --> 00:19:00.659
People of different racial categories, etc..
00:19:00.659 --> 00:19:02.962
And they just.
00:19:02.962 --> 00:19:04.563
Yeah.
00:19:04.563 --> 00:19:05.397
When she was announced, let's say so
00:19:05.397 --> 00:19:07.666
Give us read one of one of the, one of your favorites here.
00:19:07.666 --> 00:19:11.103
Michelle.
00:19:11.103 --> 00:19:11.904
You know, we can just start.
00:19:12.504 --> 00:19:13.339
That one's perfect.
00:19:13.339 --> 00:19:14.740
That's the one i started my thread with.
00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:16.475
There is no such thing as a good gentrify.
00:19:16.475 --> 00:19:20.512
The only people who are actively working on projects
00:19:20.512 --> 00:19:23.415
To dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people
00:19:23.415 --> 00:19:27.253
Who aren't, i found that fascinating.
00:19:27.253 --> 00:19:31.156
First of all, she lives in a gentrifying neighborhood.
00:19:31.156 --> 00:19:33.225
And from what i understand, c a weaver lives in
00:19:33.225 --> 00:19:34.927
Crown heights, which is historically
00:19:34.927 --> 00:19:36.962
A working class, mostly jewish and black
00:19:36.962 --> 00:19:39.531
Neighborhood in brooklyn.
00:19:39.531 --> 00:19:43.636
Yeah.
00:19:43.869 --> 00:19:44.403
So she lives there.
00:19:44.403 --> 00:19:45.571
I think she's written that going to the suburbs is wrong.
00:19:45.571 --> 00:19:47.840
Moving into the city is wrong, as she seems to believe,
00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:50.109
I don't.
00:19:50.109 --> 00:19:50.943
I'd be curious to know her views on
00:19:50.943 --> 00:19:53.045
What kind of housing is okay in her mind.
00:19:53.045 --> 00:19:55.281
I, like i said, public housing.
00:19:55.281 --> 00:19:56.849
She has a lot written about how she wants
00:19:56.849 --> 00:19:58.484
All of us to live in public housing.
00:19:58.484 --> 00:19:59.785
I can share some of those, she says.
00:19:59.785 --> 00:20:02.621
You know, public housing for everyone, rent control
00:20:02.621 --> 00:20:05.491
And public housing for everyone. massive
00:20:05.491 --> 00:20:07.293
Government interventions to solve gentrification.
00:20:07.293 --> 00:20:12.031
Yeah.
00:20:12.264 --> 00:20:13.265
And look at this against the private market.
00:20:13.265 --> 00:20:15.434
Yeah.
00:20:15.668 --> 00:20:16.669
This is a really amazing one that you've poured
00:20:16.669 --> 00:20:18.003
This country, built wealth for white people
00:20:18.003 --> 00:20:20.572
Through genocide, slavery, stolen land and labor,
00:20:20.572 --> 00:20:23.509
Labor, white supremacy built the north and the south.
00:20:23.509 --> 00:20:27.246
So deep thoughts from a weaver, who we also found out is,
00:20:27.246 --> 00:20:31.717
Her mom lives in a $1.4 million craftsman.
00:20:31.717 --> 00:20:34.953
And the daily mail
00:20:35.387 --> 00:20:36.789
Apparently tried to confront her
00:20:36.789 --> 00:20:38.490
About this, partly because of your tweet going so viral.
00:20:38.490 --> 00:20:41.360
Michel, i think you really helped
00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:42.961
Shine a light on see a weaver and some of the crazy things.
00:20:42.961 --> 00:20:45.898
And she burst into tears and ran away.
00:20:45.898 --> 00:20:50.002
And there's all these these images of her, i think.
00:20:50.002 --> 00:20:52.404
I think she's never really had the spotlight put on her.
00:20:52.404 --> 00:20:56.342
And yet, this echoes
00:20:56.342 --> 00:20:57.643
Something that mamdani said in his when he was,
00:20:57.643 --> 00:21:00.346
Sworn into office, where he says,
00:21:00.346 --> 00:21:02.247
We're going to get rid of rugged individualism
00:21:02.247 --> 00:21:04.016
And we're going to replace it with collectivism.
00:21:04.016 --> 00:21:05.651
314 this is her take on it.
00:21:05.651 --> 00:21:08.620
I think the reality is, is that for centuries
00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:12.358
We've really treated, property as an individualized good
00:21:12.358 --> 00:21:16.662
And not a collective good.
00:21:16.662 --> 00:21:18.197
And we are going to and transiti
00:21:18.197 --> 00:21:22.334
A collective good and to,
00:21:22.901 --> 00:21:24.436
Towards a model of shared equity will require that
00:21:24.436 --> 00:21:27.840
We think about it differently and it will mean that,
00:21:27.840 --> 00:21:32.044
Families, especially white families, but some poc families
00:21:32.044 --> 00:21:35.147
Who are homeowners as well, are going to have
00:21:35.147 --> 00:21:39.418
A different relationship to property than, than than
00:21:39.418 --> 00:21:41.987
The one that we currently have.
00:21:41.987 --> 00:21:43.555
So she's going to seize property from white families.
00:21:43.555 --> 00:21:49.495
I the part that i found so fascinating about that clip
00:21:50.529 --> 00:21:52.931
Is it starts with for centuries,
00:21:52.931 --> 00:21:54.800
For many centuries, we've
00:21:54.800 --> 00:21:56.568
It's like, yes, for many centuries
00:21:56.568 --> 00:21:58.270
We've had for millennia, pretty likely.
00:21:58.270 --> 00:22:00.038
Yeah.
00:22:00.038 --> 00:22:01.073
Like that's what our modern world is based on.
00:22:01.073 --> 00:22:03.575
Like the that's what built the brownstone she lives in.
00:22:03.575 --> 00:22:06.545
It didn't like it's not this is not like they just grow
00:22:06.545 --> 00:22:09.281
Out of the ground.
00:22:09.281 --> 00:22:10.015
Michele.
00:22:10.015 --> 00:22:11.049
Chandler, thank you for capturing these tweets.
00:22:11.049 --> 00:22:13.519
Thank you for joining us.
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.953
I think this is just a fascinating insight
00:22:14.953 --> 00:22:17.222
Into a really radical person that represents,
00:22:17.222 --> 00:22:20.025
I think blake's right, sort of
00:22:20.025 --> 00:22:21.660
A larger swath of the left than we really care to believe.
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:25.197
But i think it's true.
00:22:25.197 --> 00:22:26.231
There's a lot of these crazies out there,
00:22:26.231 --> 00:22:27.966
And now they're getting into
00:22:27.966 --> 00:22:29.134
Positions of power, which is terrifying.
00:22:29.134 --> 00:22:30.536
Michelle, thank you for joining us. having me.
00:22:30.536 --> 00:22:35.107
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:35.741 --> 00:22:37.209
I'd like to express my
00:22:37.209 --> 00:22:38.577
Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
00:22:38.577 --> 00:22:41.580
Of christians and jews.
00:22:41.580 --> 00:22:43.115
And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
00:22:43.115 --> 00:22:45.551
Who have supported them in prayer, with finances
00:22:45.551 --> 00:22:47.786
And standing strong for the people of israel.
00:22:47.786 --> 00:22:49.888
The fellowship is one of america's
00:22:49.888 --> 00:22:51.356
Most beloved
00:22:51.356 --> 00:22:52.491

00:22:54.927 --> 00:22:56.495
And comfort to the people of israel
00:22:56.495 --> 00:22:58.130
In the ukraine and across the former soviet union.
00:22:58.130 --> 00:23:01.099
This holiday season and every day of the year,
00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:03.235
The fellowship is called to serve
00:23:03.235 --> 00:23:04.770
The elderly jewish people,
00:23:04.770 --> 00:23:06.038
Many of whom are holocaust survivors who are now
00:23:06.038 --> 00:23:08.974
Living in the shadow of past wars, poverty and loneliness.
00:23:08.974 --> 00:23:12.711
During this christmas time, join me and fulfill
00:23:12.711 --> 00:23:15.214
