Chapter 1: What evidence challenges the Left's narrative about the ICE shooting?
Today on The Matt Wall Show, the left's attempt to make a new George Floyd moment has fizzled out and failed. New video and other evidence proves beyond any doubt that the ICE shooting in Minneapolis could not have been any more justified. Also, chief police in Portland breaks down in tears on camera for the most embarrassing reason imaginable, not that there could be a valid reason.
And a former conservative influencer has come out suddenly as pro-trans. How did this transformation happen and why? We'll talk about all that more today on The Matt Wall Show.
No one thinks about this timeline anymore, but it took more than two months after George Floyd died in Minneapolis for a foreign media organization, the Daily Mail, to publish the body cam footage of his arrest and subsequent overdose. Minnesota Democrats had refused to release the video without explaining why, but it was obvious, in retrospect, why they didn't release it.
The leaked body cam footage was fatal to the official narrative concerning Floyd's death.
Chapter 2: What emotional response did the police chief in Portland have?
It demonstrated that Floyd, because he was in the process of overdosing on a lethal level of fentanyl, was struggling to breathe long before he was on the ground. By the time the footage was released, though, to the public in August, it was far too late.
Too many people had already been convinced that Floyd had somehow been murdered by a police officer who didn't cause any physical injury whatsoever to Floyd's neck or upper body, who was following established procedure, and who knew he was being recorded by an increasingly unhinged mob.
Now, more than five years after the show trial of Derek Chauvin, in which prosecutors deliberately lied about the level of fentanyl in Floyd's system, the United States is a very different place. BLM and COVID hysteria have completely discredited the corporate press, which no one takes seriously anymore.
Daniel Penny managed to walk in New York, even though one of the jurors was wearing a face mask throughout the trial. Donald Trump, of course, decisively won the popular vote, an achievement that was unthinkable according to most political observers.
Chapter 3: How did a conservative influencer publicly shift to a pro-trans stance?
And Trump won a majority of the popular vote by promising, as explicitly as possible, that he would close the border and begin deporting illegal aliens in massive numbers. No matter how unpleasant it may be, Trump explained, it was necessary work. Laws must be enforced. In other words, it's now much, much more difficult for Democrats to pull off a successful hoax than it used to be.
Most Americans support the administration's agenda, and no one believes the usual liars anymore. And on top of that, we have X instead of Twitter, so you won't be banished from social media if you tell the truth. Nevertheless, after a gay open borders agitator named Renee Goode was shot and killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday,
the left still attempted to run the same George Floyd playbook all over again. Even though Goode was a white woman, and therefore very, very low on the left's racial victim hierarchy, of course, They gave it the old college try. Specifically, they tried to hide relevant video footage in order to falsely accuse law enforcement of committing murder.
And that's why we haven't been allowed to see any of the footage that was recorded by Good's lesbian friend, even though she was clearly recording the entire incident up close and personal with her cell phone.
And you'd think that if this woman thought that she and her lesbian associate had done nothing wrong and this was a cold-blooded murder, well, you'd think she'd be plastering this footage on every social media platform, doing constant appearances on CNN, MSNBC. But she's not doing that, very conspicuously. Instead, Goods Associates has kept the footage hidden.
And meanwhile, in the hours and days after the shooting, most corporate media outlets didn't show any of the cell phone recordings of the shooting that were taken by various people in the neighborhood. The footage was widely available on X, but major news outlets didn't show it. Instead, the media described the shooting in very general terms without explaining exactly what happened.
Democrats clearly expected that the usual information vacuum would form, and in anticipation of that, they took full advantage. One after another, they flagrantly lied about Good's actions, which directly led to her death. Here, for example, is Adam Schiff and the sheriff of Philadelphia as well, just to give two examples. Watch.
This 37-year-old woman drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Law enforcement professionals do not shoot at moving vehicles. I'm not saying fleeing because she wasn't fleeing. She was getting out of the way.
Law enforcement professionals do not stand in front of moving vehicles invoking an action that is illegal. No, we don't. And so we stand here today with all those who stand against the made-up, fake, what you can call ICE professional law enforcement. I don't call them none of that. I call them made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement.

Chapter 4: What timeline issues are raised regarding the George Floyd case?
There's a sheriff position of authority. I don't call him none of that. I don't know what you call him. I don't call him none of that. Very, very intelligent. But no, she wasn't trying to attack. She wasn't evading arrest. She was getting out of the way. So no, I'm not resisting arrest, officer. I'm just getting out of the way. I'm just trying to get out of your way. I'm trying to be polite.
Now, by the time Schiff and Philadelphia and the Philadelphia sheriff there were lying like this, there were already a handful of videos, which we talked about last week, showing that Goode had parked her car perpendicular in the middle of the road. Far from getting out of the way, she was very much intentionally in the way. That was the whole point. She was trying to obstruct ICE.
That's why she was doing that. And there was also footage from a bystander proving that she drove into an ICE officer after ICE ordered her out of the car. So the lying was already at the time completely absurd, but the lying was also somewhat effective.
Many people who saw the original videos, including some commentators who described themselves as conservatives, argued that the shooting wasn't a necessary and justifiable use of force. After all, they said Renee Good was just a harmless woman on her way to daycare. How much of a threat could she really be?
Now, this was an argument that never made any sense because even if this woman really was going to a daycare, that obviously does not give her the right to commit a felony by blocking a road and obstructing a law enforcement operation. Just so you know, there's no going to a daycare exception to federal law.
Timothy McVeigh was on his way to a daycare when he committed the Oklahoma City bombings in the sense that he was on his way to blow one up. So that doesn't mean that he was immune from criminal prosecution. You're going to a daycare, you're going to the grocery store, doesn't matter where you're going.
If you commit a crime in the process or on the way, if you take a quick detour to go commit a federal crime, then that's what matters. But more videos of course came out and even this flimsy daycare defense, such as it was, collapsed. Unlike the George Floyd scam, these new videos did not take months to service. Again, this is a different country than it was in 2020.
The FBI can't tell every single social media platform to ban anyone who tells the truth. And on top of that, millions of people have been conditioned, based on previous hoaxes, to demand more footage. And meanwhile, on the left, there's still a sense that white people can't really be martyrs because they're all colonizers, regardless of their politics. So that also has interfered with
the attempts to make this person into the new George Floyd. On the left, the great tragedy here for the left, on the left, the great tragedy is not that somebody died. They don't care about that. People die every day in this country. They couldn't care less. Innocent women, actual innocent women are murdered every day in this country, brutally. And the left couldn't care less.

Chapter 5: How did the media handle the footage of the ICE shooting?
He'd be a hero. That's one of the reasons why when you watch movies that are like 30 or 40 years old or older, you often see like the scenes where police fire shots at criminals as they run away. And it looks kind of funny to us now, and we assume that's just kind of a Hollywood thing. But it wasn't just a Hollywood thing.
Until relatively recently, that's exactly how police would and could respond if you ran away. And, you know, maybe nobody wants to say it out loud, but it was obviously a better system than the one we have now. If you were committing a serious felony and then you run away when the police tell you to stop, then you're probably a grave threat to the safety of the community.
You're very likely to be a menace who's totally incompatible with civilization. And for the safety of the entire community, you need to be neutralized. And if that sounds extreme to you, well, think about the last time you were accused of committing a felony and then ran away from the cops when they showed up. Like, that's not something that happens to functioning members of civilization ever.
It's something that only deranged and dysfunctional people do by definition. If you're innocent and the cops show up and accuse you of a crime, if you're innocent and you're a functional human adult, then you know that your only choice is to fight the charges in court. Running away is not going to solve anything.
So in other words, even if you pretend for a second that this officer was nowhere near the front of the car, which is the opposite of the truth, which we can see on video, then Renee Good still committed a crime that in most of this country's history would justify lethal force by the officer. She engaged in behavior that's unthinkable to every sane, well-adjusted person.
Why exactly should we be telling police officers to hold their fire when confronted with situations like this? Now, this is all academic, of course. Now, this is just kind of an aside because the fact remains that Goode hit the officer with her car, which means that he was perfectly legally justified under the current law, not pre-1980s law, under the current law to use lethal force.
My only point is that the current law is actually far more restrictive than it should be or ever was really until recently. And leftists have no answers to these points. And they certainly don't have any coherent response to these latest videos, which clearly demonstrate that Renee Good was driving her car towards an ICE officer.
Instead of reckoning with the truth one after another, Democrats kept lying. But you can tell they're reaching, and it's not very convincing. Here's the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry. Watch.
In the immediacy following the shooting, you heard people from the Trump administration saying that the victim was a domestic terrorist. You heard that the ICE agent was acting entirely in self-defense. And here's the thing. You don't need to take my word for it. You don't need to take their word for it. Watch the video. The ICE agent was not run over, as Trump stated.

Chapter 6: What legal implications arise from blocking law enforcement operations?
If you come out and it's an answer you owe. I mean, if you're out there public facing, you've made money. I mean, you sold a book. You've made money off of, which is fine. I made money on Johnny the Walrus. But you've been on the side of sanity here. You've profited from it. Fine. If you're going to come out and say, you know what, actually, I want to advocate for the trans community.
At the very least, you should be able to offer a reason why. Because I've been dealing with these people for 10 years. I have never heard them present a persuasive argument ever. Ever. I've never heard one of these people, who Ashley St. Clair is apologizing to now, I've never heard them make even a mildly legitimate argument for the trans, pro-trans side.
I've never heard one valid argument ever, which is unlike a lot of, there are a lot of Positions you can take that I'll disagree with, but I would still admit that, yeah, okay, there are some valid or interesting arguments you can make for it. I'm not persuaded. I don't agree with it.
There are plenty of issues like that where, from my perspective, there's a clear right and wrong side of it, but even on the wrong side, you can make an interesting argument. But the pro-trans side, there is no interesting argument. There's no good argument. I've never heard it. I've never heard it one time. And I've been talking about this for a long time.
And I've talked to a lot of people about it. And I've debated this many, many, many times. So what's the argument, Ashley? What did they tell you? What did they say to you? What was it? And if you can't tell us that, then that only leaves the possibility of an incredibly cynical move. of going over to the side of child castration when you know that it's wrong. And that is unspeakably evil.
I don't know what else to say about it. All right. Finally, here, two quick things. First of all, we've talked about the women who are very upset about ICE. Well, here's one woman on TikTok who's especially upset, and she decided to do something about it. She's not going to take this lying down. She's going to stand up and fight in her own way by doing this. Watch.
No! No! Shame! Shame! Oh, my God!
What the...
What the f*** did you do?
