Ep. 1886 - If You Run Over A Cop Expect To Get Shot

08 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What happened to the woman who tried to run over a cop in Minneapolis?

0.031 - 27.49 Michael Knowles

A leftist woman obstructed federal immigration enforcement, then hit an officer with her SUV, at which point the federal agent shot her. Now, the Democrat governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, is calling on the Minnesota National Guard to commit insurrection against the federal government, against which he says his state is at war. Where to begin? The federal agents were entirely in the right.

28.212 - 50.473 Michael Knowles

Everyone obstructing law enforcement, from the woman in the SUV all the way to Governor Walz, are entirely in the wrong. We will get to the video evidence. But even though the woman in the SUV was entirely in the wrong, and even though her death is entirely her own fault, I can't help but feel sorry for her. I can't, because...

51.027 - 58.714 Michael Knowles

This is the inevitable consequence of years and years of Democrat-sanctioned anarchy.

Chapter 2: What is Tim Walz's response to the incident involving federal agents?

58.874 - 101.957 Michael Knowles

I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. The whimsy of history is a sight to behold. You know, in the unfolding of Providence, there are winks, there are hints of irony and levity and comedy, one of which came out of Governor Walsh yesterday, because we've been told for years and years and years. that January 6th was the insurrection, which it wasn't.

0

101.977 - 121.669 Michael Knowles

It was some grannies taking selfies in the Capitol Rotunda and a horn hat guy getting a private tour by police of the Capitol. Not exactly an insurrection. However, one day after January 6th, on January 7th, 2026, Tim Walz literally called for insurrection.

0

122.223 - 148.062 Michael Knowles

He called on Minnesota National Guardsmen to violently oppose federal law enforcement, which is as clear-cut a case of insurrection as there can be. And Walz maybe should be arrested for it.

221.353 - 249.723 Michael Knowles

An awful scene unfolded. Everyone agrees it's an awful scene, but people can't quite agree on why it was an awful scene. It was this scene in which... a lady, a middle-aged, 30-something, 40-something-year-old woman, leftist, I think a member of the LGBT LMNOP, radical left activist, obstructing law enforcement. But by all appearances, a kind of a bourgeois white lady.

250.063 - 254.088 Michael Knowles

We're not talking about, you know, a member of an Antifa cell or something.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Democrat-sanctioned anarchy?

254.108 - 280.682 Michael Knowles

We're talking about a bourgeois white lady who was convinced that it was a good idea to go obstruct federal law enforcement in her SUV, allows things to spin out of control, and she ends up hitting an ICE agent with her car, at which point the ICE agent shoots her. And now she's dead, and it's very sad. It is very sad. But why is it sad? What was the worst part of this?

0

280.742 - 308.035 Michael Knowles

What was the thing that went wrong here? Was the thing that went wrong, as the left contends, and some of the squishes will contend, that the ICE agent defended his own life? I'll say it in a less charged way than that. Was the issue that the ICE agent shot the woman who was obstructing law enforcement? Or... was the sad part that this lady put herself in this position in the first place.

0

308.295 - 328.064 Michael Knowles

Well, let's look at the video evidence. We have slow-mo video evidence here. There's one agent who is at the side of this woman's car, at the driver's side door, because this woman had been blocking the street, obstructing law enforcement, doing something certainly illegal. And so the agents approach her car, and you see the agent there on the side.

0

328.284 - 347.751 Michael Knowles

She starts backing up while the agent is reaching into her car, and then... There's another agent in front of the car and she drives into him and he shoots her. And this is the contested video. So let's go back, go back. So you can see here, let's just look at it almost frame by frame.

0

348.592 - 367.697 Michael Knowles

The agent on the side of the car is blocking from view the agent in front of the car, but you can kind of see him making out there. Okay. So the woman starts driving. He shoots, go back. I want to see it again. Go all the way back to the beginning. There we go. She backs up. There it is. Pause it right there. The woman backs up.

368.118 - 397.003 Michael Knowles

So what the opponents of law enforcement are saying, namely the entire left all the way up to the Democrat mayor and governor, what they're saying is she was trying to get away. She was just backing up to try to get away. However, go back to the very beginning of the video. Go back to the very beginning. Okay. So she's pulling back. Play it. pulling back, and here she goes. Stop.

399.428 - 420.37 Michael Knowles

As she's pulling back, she starts accelerating. As she's accelerating, you can see from the tires, you can see from the car, she is driving straight into this officer. The slow-mo video shows it to you. Now, I guess a rejoinder to that would be, well, things are just happening in the moment. It's very fast.

420.75 - 442.53 Michael Knowles

This woman didn't have the clarity of mind, the precision to look at exactly where her tire was. Yeah, that's true of the officer, too. That's true of the officer, too. Even if it had been the case that this woman were not driving directly into him, it's not good to get that close. It's not good for there to be ambiguity.

443.641 - 469.243 Michael Knowles

For the officer, because, and this is the part that the left doesn't seem to understand. Federal law enforcement, law enforcement generally, law enforcement officers have no obligation to let people run them over. I think some on the left really believe, well, no, the officer, look, he needs to wait until the tire marks are up to his chin, and then maybe the officer can shoot.

Chapter 5: What arguments are made regarding the ICE agent's actions?

1098.211 - 1102.258 Michael Knowles

But anyway, here's another witness or maybe the same witness, I don't know, describing the scene.

0

1103.791 - 1129.686 Unknown

They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding. I talked to another guy who was driving behind her, but she was very She was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was set out to do, and so they wanted to get her the hell out of there. Yeah.

0

1129.706 - 1132.55 Jacob Fry

So it looked like she was impeding ICE vehicles.

0

1132.57 - 1134.033 Unknown

Definitely, yeah. That was her goal.

0

1134.593 - 1148.175 Michael Knowles

Yeah, yeah, that was her goal. Her goal was to obstruct law enforcement, which is a crime, and to block traffic, which is also against the law. Yeah, that was her goal, and she was very successful at it. You don't get to do that.

1149.455 - 1161.743 Michael Knowles

And the reason that the woman who's dead and these people who are defending her think that you get to do that is because Democrat politicians allowed people to do that and even encouraged people to do that.

Chapter 6: What does the video evidence reveal about the incident?

1162.585 - 1191.679 Michael Knowles

This, to me, is the political tragedy of the whole thing. You have a Democrat who was justly, entirely justly killed by a law enforcement officer because of what her own politicians encouraged her to do. That's the tragedy of it. The thing that Democrats thought was giving them a lot of political power, namely riotous mobs in the streets, is killing the Democrats now.

0

1192.469 - 1210.3 Michael Knowles

Now that the Republicans are in power and they're not putting up with it as they should not put up with it as they cannot put up with it. That's the political tragedy. If you're this woman, this dead woman, and you don't, I mean, you're clearly, you have some problems. You're obstructing law enforcement. You're willing to, this woman apparently had children.

0

1210.48 - 1231.422 Michael Knowles

I think she was a lesbian and she had children with a woman somehow. I don't know. I'm not going to get into it. That's not, exactly pertinent to this story. But you have something resembling a family, at least. You have interests. You have a community. You have things you care about. And you go out there. You commit crimes. You obstruct law enforcement. You drive your car into a cop.

0

1231.582 - 1250.131 Michael Knowles

What do you think is going to happen? You don't know what's going to happen, I guess. You think you're going to get away with it. But you're willing to set risk all those wonderful things that I just described. For what? To protect criminal Somalis who shouldn't be here? To protect criminal Venezuelans who came across with Tren de Aragua?

0

1250.472 - 1274.913 Michael Knowles

To protect face-tattooed Latin American drug trafficking, human trafficking gangsters? And you're willing to allow your children to grow up without a mother because of that? You're willing to lose your life because of that? It's so profoundly stupid. So profoundly disordered. So profoundly sad. And it's not just her fault.

1276.536 - 1296.827 Michael Knowles

Because if you're this woman and you watch the George Floyd riots and you watched the liberal media excuse them, pretend they didn't really happen, say they were peaceful. You watched Democrat politicians encourage them in many cases, join them in some cases, bail out the rioters. You watched Kamala Harris

1297.381 - 1312.722 Michael Knowles

raise money to bail out the rioters in your state, in your city, and you watch that, you would certainly come to the conclusion that it's totally fine to block traffic, to obstruct law enforcement, maybe to drive your car into a cop. You would come to that conclusion.

1313.764 - 1334.501 Michael Knowles

And when a new administration came about that actually took the law seriously, when a real law enforcement officer comes out there with real political backing from Washington and does what he's supposed to do and shoots you in the face because of it, You would be shocked and you would have some right to be shocked because you had been failed by your political leaders for years.

1335.462 - 1360.823 Michael Knowles

You had been scandalized by the anarchy and the lawlessness that the Democrats encouraged. And so I feel bad for you. I feel bad for this woman. Said a prayer for this woman. You should say a prayer for this woman too. You can do all of that and should do all of that. while also recognizing that officer did nothing wrong.
