Chapter 1: What comparison does Governor Tim Walz make regarding crime in Minneapolis?
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz compares face-tattooed rapists to Anne Frank. Kanye West apologizes to Jews and lots of other people. And Virginia Democrats propose a law that would ban immigration enforcement from polling places. What a weird thing to do. I'm Michael Knowles.
Chapter 2: What apology does Kanye West make in the Wall Street Journal?
This is The Michael Knowles Show.
Thank you.
Welcome back to the show. Wonderful to be with you in these new circumstances.
Chapter 3: What law do Virginia Democrats propose regarding immigration enforcement?
I'm very, very sorry. Yesterday, you know, the show went up a little bit late. And it went up late because I lost power. My house got down to about, what was it, 45 degrees, screaming children. That was the worst part. It was really me having to deal with those screaming children. And And the power was out, so I couldn't do my show. I jerry-rigged it. I MacGyvered it on my cell phone.
Natural light. But then there was no internet. So I was uploading it. It took a thousand hours to upload. I expected the episode to come out during the third Barron Trump administration. But we got it up finally. And then I was rescued by my buddy Witt. A nice Catholic boy, as you can see from his beautiful crucifix here. So I'm broadcasting from Witt's studio.
He saved us, both the family, and we can stay in heat now and eat and drink and shower. But more importantly, I can be in a podcast studio. There's so much to talk about. But before we get to any of it, actually, this perfectly relates to feeling cozy and warm and nice, sleeping well. I want to tell you about Bowling Branch. go to bowlinbranch.com slash Knowles. It was very chilly last night.
It was very chilly in my house because the power was out. And, you know, I was snuggled up with the kids. We were all on the upper floor. It was a little bit warmer. But you know where I don't care if it's zero degrees. You know how I can always be just a very comfy little guy? In my Bowling Branch sheets. I love them. I've loved Bowling Branch for the better part of a decade now.
You know, multiple U.S. presidents have slept on Bowling Branch sheets. Multiple U.S. presidents and your very favorite podcaster. They have 100% organic cotton sheets trusted by millions of sleepers built to layer without trapping heat or adding weight. I just, I love them. And the one thing I went down to grab. From my bed, I ended up sleeping on a couch mattress.
You don't need to hear the whole story. I go and I grab my Bowling Branch waffle blanket. That was my chief blanket on my little couch bed on the floor. Then halfway through, there's a real story. The boys, they said, they don't, we're scared. And they come, they get underneath the blanket. It was very nice. Right now, you can get softness beyond your wildest dreams.

And amid all of this, Tim Walz, the man who was almost one heartbeat away from becoming the second woman president, comes out and he compares the face-tattooed rapists and the murderers and the drug traffickers and all these foreign criminals to Anne Frank.

Chapter 4: Why does Tim Walz's comparison to Anne Frank raise concerns?
That city's church invasion when the radical mob of leftists came up storming the church, going in, stopping the service, getting up in the faces of the kids and the parishioners.

It's obviously demonic.

during the city's church invasion which was itself illegal and a violation of federal law at the very least because of the face act the face act which is the freedom of abortion clinic entrances act it's a it's an abortion factory law to protect the the abortionists from having to deal with people praying in front of their abortion facilities
And the only way they could get it passed, because it's so hideous, it's so evil, was to say, okay, well, you know, as a little olive branch, we'll also use this act to stop people from invading churches during services. Though it's basically never used to prosecute people who attack churches. It's only used to stop people from generally peaceably demonstrating at abortion factories. In any case.
According to the court documents, agitators blocked the stairs so that, quote, parents were unable to get to their children at Sunday school. So it's not just people going in, Don Lemon there. Hey, this is our First Amendment right. I'm just here as a journalist. This is their First Amendment right. Getting up in the pastor's face. No, no, no.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the lieutenant governor's involvement in anti-ICE actions?
Why would they, because I was, hold on. You know, you watch the news, you read things, you're smart. I was told that illegal aliens never, never under any circumstances vote in our elections. That's a deranged right-wing crazy conspiracy theory, right? Yeah. So and then, OK, sometimes we catch people doing it, but it's so rare and never mind.
And there's nothing to see here and pay no attention to the man in the sombrero behind the curtain. OK, but now what they would say, what the Libs would say if they even admitted that occasionally in the illegal votes, they'd say, well, it's not widespread. OK, then why would you propose this law?
because what's so brazen about this law is that it does not merely imply that illegals vote sometimes, which is a massive scandal in itself. What this law implies is that their voting is so widespread. It is so commonplace that ice could just launch a raid on any random polling place and they would catch illegals.
Now, you might say, well, look, maybe ICE launches the raid on the polling place, but they don't get anybody. Well, if they don't get anybody, then there's no reason to prohibit it. It's not like ICE is going to drag off the people who have their IDs. Well, I guess you don't need an ID anymore to vote. Okay, well, maybe there's that. This is a confession. And I got to thank Alfonso Lopez.
By the way, this isn't even just some complete wacko. Some of the state legislators are a little wacky. Some of them are great. Look, some of my best friends have been state legislators. But a lot of them are wacky. This guy, though, he might be wacky, but he's a real guy. He's been a significant figure in the Democrat National Committee.
He's worked at the Small Business Administration under Barack Obama. Now he's a state legislator. Why is he doing it?
because illegal aliens i'm just i'm just inferring this from the democrats if you don't like what i'm saying blame them he's doing this because he has concluded that illegals voting is a widespread phenomenon and that if immigration law were enforced even at the polling place or the specificity here it's comical not just at the polling place but also at a meeting place for the local electoral board while the electoral board meets to ascertain the results of an election
Now we got illegals on the electoral board or in the place of a recount. They would round up so many illegals, Democrats would never win another election. All right. Well, when they're telling you what they're doing, how about we respond? But the way Republicans want to respond is, by golly, by golly, can you imagine? Can you imagine if we did that?
Can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? Oh, boy. Would we have a hearty laugh about that? Oh, boy, howdy. We would get an earful if we ever tried that. And you guys are trying. Yes, they are. They are.

Chapter 6: How does Tim Walz's behavior reflect on law enforcement in Minneapolis?
Speaking of Democrats getting a little bit kooky, getting a little bit, if not violent, violent adjacent, a Florida anesthesiologist has gone viral for refusing to provide medical care to Republicans.

He has said that he will not provide his anesthesiological care to Republicans. Now, for me, listen. If I want Democrats to put me to sleep, I would just listen to a Hillary Clinton speech. Am I right? Am I right? Hey, come on. I'll be here in this studio probably all week because it's going to be very chilly here in Nashville.
But this is actually, you know, joking aside, a grave violation of medical ethics. And this guy's got to be punished. You know, I don't want to say I know maybe it's because I've been been locked up. The power has been out. I've been getting him up. But I don't I don't mean to sound totally like Franco here. But we got to you got to bring the hammer down, guys. You don't.
A Democrat does not have the right to withhold medical care from from a Republican. whether he's an anesthesiologist or whether he's a heart surgeon. He doesn't have the right to do that for a number of reasons. One, because the medical professionals are licensed. So this guy should lose his license simply for the threat. I don't even care if he's ever refused a Republican patient.
He should lose his license simply for the threat. And I believe the excellent attorney general of Florida is already looking into doing just that. That goes without saying. But furthermore, The reason we can't tolerate this stuff is because it is contrary to the medical profession itself.
