What happened during the ICE protest shooting that sparked national outrage?

Matt Walsh 0:00
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a left-wing agitator is killed by ICE agents while trying to run one of them over with her car. Now Democrat officials are, of course, doing everything they can to turn this into another George Floyd moment. We'll talk about it. Also, Mamdani's communist housing official, who considers private property rights to be a white supremacist conspiracy, runs away crying when she's asked about it. And Donald Trump says that he will ban corporations from buying up housing units. Is this an attack on the free markets or a way to protect the free markets? We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

Whether we realize it or not, we all have a tendency to assume that nothing ever happens. That's the Zoomer way of referring to a well-known phenomenon called normalcy bias. Essentially, most people generally believe that life as we know it will continue in more or less the same way for the rest of our lives. We'll learn about major civilization-defining events in world history, like World War I or the Revolutionary War. And we'll assume that, well, history is history. Those kinds of events simply don't happen anymore. Nothing ever happens, as the saying goes. The idea of a new civil war or a new world war seems too distant, too implausible to consider very seriously. Seriously, we're simply too advanced for that kind of thing these days.

But the funny thing about World War I and the Revolutionary War and most other conflicts throughout history is that at one point, they also seemed unthinkable. In fact, in 1909, somebody named Norman Angle wrote a book called The Great Illusion. And the premise of the book, which became an international bestseller, gained a massive following on college campuses, was that war was a thing of the past. Countries that were economically connected, he argued, would never fight major conflicts with one another because they had too much to lose. At the time, everybody thought that the book made a really compelling point. Nobody took issue with it. War had been solved, and then five years later, tens of millions of people died, and then World War II, and in fact, the 20th century became the most war-torn century in the history of human civilization.

I begin with this context because we're now trending very clearly towards a particularly brutal war that seemed unthinkable until recently. It's increasingly evident that millions of people living in this country are so committed to an explicitly anti-American post-national ideology that they cannot be reasoned with. Video evidence means nothing to them. They're not interested in logic or laws or decency. In some cases, they don't even care about self-preservation. Their primary belief system revolves around a mixture of nihilism, irony, ghoulishness, and intense jealousy and insecurity. And these millions of people are well represented in government. They're represented by politicians who are now openly threatening that they will start a new civil war over the fact that the Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws that were passed in a free and open democratic fashion.

And those politicians include Tim Walz, who's obviously eager to distract from his involvement in a generational scheme to defraud taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, in a moment, we'll get into the specifics of the shooting involving the ICE officer and the professional agitator who tried to run him over. We will demonstrate beyond any doubt whatsoever that the ICE officer was fully justified in shooting and killing this woman. But it's important at the outset to reject the framing that the left and much of the corporate press is attempting to establish here. So let me say it outright. Even if all of their lies were true, which they aren't, even if an ICE officer had somehow decided one day for no reason to brutally murder somebody on camera, there would still be no justifiable reason whatsoever

for politicians to talk the way they're talking now in the Democrat Party, from Minnesota to Washington.
