Lunatic Leftists Promise "War" Against ICE Officers... Should We Laugh at Them or Take It Seriously?

What this episode is about

The content discusses the legal and political ramifications following an incident involving ICE officers and Renee Good, whose family has hired an attorney known for representing high-profile civil rights cases. It highlights tensions between federal prosecutors who have resigned over the handling of the case and the family's intention to pursue a lawsuit, raising questions about accountability and the broader implications for ICE operations and enforcement.

Key takeaways

• Hiring the same lawyer as George Floyd's family suggests a push for a hefty settlement, not just justice.
• Federal prosecutors resigning in protest shows how deeply conflicted justice efforts are amidst national chaos.
• An ICE agent injured during a confrontation highlights the physical toll of today's policing environment—this isn't just rhetoric.
• The notion of 'combat' in protests reveals a disturbing drift from dialogue to violence—unproductive and dangerous.
• Mayor Fry's misleading statements about officer safety underline the disconnect between political narratives and harsh realities.

0:00 Guess who hired a lawyer? Renee Good's partner. Oh, and by the way, Julie Kelly reporting that they're not married. That this was just her her partner.

0:09 Interesting. Her her her lover. Uh and that they they've now she and the immediate family have hired the same lawyer who represented the George Floyd family. uh and that there it's a Chicago based law firm Romanucci and Blandon. Never heard of them and I practiced law in Chicago for a while. Uh their their statement is what happened to Renee is wrong contrary to established policing practices and procedures and should never happen in today's America. It said Renee Good's family wants to honor her life with progress toward a kinder and more civil America. They do not want her used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all. Well, that's not why you hire this civil rights firm. You hire them to sue and get what the family of George Floyd's uh George Floyd got, which was a $27 million settlement.

1:04 That's why you hire them. So, what's happening now is they're lawyering up and they're clearly going to sue the feds uh and maybe the state. I don't know. They'll find some ways and try to get some big payday for the lover who should be under arrest. she should be in handcuffs. Um, and then there was news today that some six attorneys, I believe they're US attorneys, federal attorneys, have quit in the state of Minnesota because they're angry that we're not going after the officer and we are apparently ordering an investigation into the group that is training Renee Good and her lover and others on how to interfere with ICE operations. So, these virtuous federal prosecutors decided to quit in a fit because they're mad. They don't want to look into Renee or her partner or any of the other ICE agitators. They really, really want to look into the ICE agent who in self-defense shot her uh while

2:08 she was trying to run him over. So, that's where we are today. Your thoughts on how that's going to play out? the remaining career bureaucrats across the administrative state just waiting for moments like this where they can dramatically quit and leak it to the media? Like, is that why they're still there? Because I can't imagine why somebody who would quit over this was still at the Department of Justice after everything that's transpired in the last year. Like, that's it's deeply weird to me that they were even still in that position. And I genuinely wonder if some of them stay for the opportunity to pull off a stunt like this one. Uh and you know the thing that makes me so so sad is that you now that we're about a week into this,

2:52 does anybody feel safer? Did anybody feel like the the country that either protesters or ICE officers or American citizens who have literal convicted criminals in their cities because of the Biden administration and because of the sanctuary laws from their mayors and their Democratic governors? Like, do they think that has anyone gotten safer in the last week? Absolutely not. Uh, so it's just like it's such a mess and it's one of those stories that it feels like it just makes me depressed about the state of everything basically.

3:24 Yeah. Um, it's also breaking now that the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good has he suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident according to two US officials briefed on his medical condition. This is a CBS news report. um that would make sense because when you get hit by a car, bad things can happen to you inside your body and out. And um it just I was reliably told by Mayor Jacob Fry that he skipped he skipped away uh from the incident and was totally fine. I mean, be careful what you say out there, Mayor Fry, because you don't know. You really don't know what's actually happened. I think it just played well for his narrative to say that kind of thing without actually checking to find out.

4:05 This officer's been through a lot uh since last June when he got dragged 33 stitches back out on the streets. Then this incident, he's under extreme emotional duress right now according to uh Tom Hman who's spoken with him who said he just he feels awful and he's scared too because they're threatening him. They're threatening his life and these loons are everywhere. Emily, I mean the the loon the loon watch is really I don't even know where to begin. There's so many crazy things. But why don't we start with the crazy violent ones. Okay, here's let's just go through a few of them. Um, we can do s three and four one right after the other.

4:40 Every single life is valuable. I mean, I guess except for for ISIS, like kill ICE agents, but um and and Denver Police Department, but um aside from that, we have to humanize each other. We have to care for each other. That that woman was a mother. She was a legal observer. everything that's going on. We have to turn upside down.

5:01 See, I've been fully activated. I'm going to head back east. We need to go to DC. needs to get done. Here's the thing that I need for protesters and everyone to start realizing. Okay, we're at war. The protests are over. There's no more protesting. This is combat now. So when I come onto the field, I'm not screaming at people that are going to assault me or pepper spray me. Like, no, this is combat. I'm going to engage them in combat because we have that needs to be done. This is how we get done. And I need for you shields and swords of the pew pew kind. Like I I need for you to wake the up. We're at war.

5:58 It's war time. It's time to go to war. You know how your military father or your military friends were always telling you freedom isn't free? Like you're about to find out. Like you're you're about to get it. Is it like middle ages wartime? Is are we is it brave hearting? Because the the sword seems dramatic, Emily.

6:21 You know, and not particularly effective. Not only dramatic, but not particularly effective when you have armed.

6:27 Yeah, he's got a cloak on. Yeah, it's ready. Armor. Yes. Yes. I mean, it's ridicul like you I'm sorry. I I the whole time I watch these videos, I I go between two questions. My first instinct is genuinely to laugh at them because they sound so absurd. And 99% of them are from women who are just like, "Yeah, I'm going to the range." And then you see like the same women like get pulled over like, "Please don't arrest me. Please don't arrest me." Like, "Oh, oh, wait, what happened to your bravado?" But then I have the other side which is like they they are lunatics.

7:02 They killed Charlie. They killed Luigi Manion. Sorry, he's the killer. They killed uh Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare. They laughed at Charlie's death. Like, these are violent lunatics over on the far left. And so, I don't want to laugh all the way into watching another innocent get killed like an innocent conservative or an ICE agent or somebody's just trying to do their job. So, do we do we take these people seriously or do we just enjoy mocking them or both?

7:30 Well, I mean, nor should the left, by the way, completely ignore this either because I actually think the Dallas incident that everybody just completely forgets about, but that happened, what was that, October? uh where there was a shooting at an ICE detention facility and who ended up getting hurt? Migrants. Person was ostensibly trying to hit ICE and ended up hitting migrants because what's happening is just the fermentation of chaos and and violence when you if you're taking people like that seriously. Uh and there are some people doing training for like ice watchers and whatever uh who are saying you you have to comply. The point of civil disobedience is that you get arrested. So comply and get arrested or whatever. But if you start fermenting this type of danger and violence, it doesn't it's not going to stop Donald Trump from enforcing a deportation strategy. Like that's that is not going

8:24 to stop. And by the way, the other thing that I think about when I listen to those people, and I've been saying this to some of my friends on the left, uh, which is because I agree with them, and I think you and I disagree with this, Megan, on like masks and and that sort of thing, but I re like it just drives me insane that they're the saying peace for, you know, those girls who were in Denver talking about, you know, we have to just treat people with humanity and whatever. It's like what about someone like Lake and Riley or Jocelyn who how about the humanity of people who have been vict victimized by the convicted criminals the convicted criminal criminals who entered our country and are being protected in our country by sanctuary laws. Um, there are people who are like they have actual victims and their victims are US citizens. And so to act like ICE needs to be stopped at every single point,

9:15 literally that is not making anybody safer whatsoever. You have to support some level of deportation. And honestly, the left right now supports they don't. They say they do, but I want to know what they actually think should happen that is feasible, and they don't have an answer for that. Here's one example of one of the tough talkers out there, ice watchers, when she actually gets pulled over by an ICE agent, and it devolves to I'm just a mom. S 10. you.

9:47 Ma'am, you're in the federal investigation. We have your own camera and you actually have news reports with us in vehicle. Your case will be referred over to Homeland Security Investigation for prosecution. I'm just so I'm just I'm just alone. Please

10:01 got it. Please, please, please. I'm just alone. Please. I'm just Yes. Please. I'm just

10:07 You are just You turn around and get out of here. I'm getting out of here. I'm getting out of here.

10:10 There you go. Slow down. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's unbelievable. Right. But yet, totally believable. Totally believable. Totally believable. And again, like the people are just being hyped up in this position where they think it's heroic and they're, you know, the they're standing in front of the tank in Tianaan Square. Uh, and they totally fold. And so it just people aren't thinking this through. And I think that's part of the reason this is making uh me nervous as well about what could come in the future because uh whipping people up into a frenzy. I worry that we end up seeing more of the Dallas situations, which by the way totally fell out of the news.

10:51 Yeah. Yeah. And not just that, you know, the one thing I've learned from security professionals in my own life is usually the person who's going to actually take a shot at you doesn't write a threat. Doesn't go on Instagram and say, "I'm going to do this," you know, i.e. Tyler Robinson. It's the ones who don't do that you have to worry about. But the when the explicit threats rise, the threats behind the scene are probably rising, too. So, like that's what I worry about. the ones who aren't posting and what they're planning against our ICE agents and others. A new year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this be the year you decide to talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? They use an educational approach with a deep understanding of macroeconomics.
