Speaker 2 (00:20):
Riot's already breaking out in some areas of Minneapolis after
an ICE involved shooting of an anti ICE protester who
ran into federal LA enforcement officer with her car when
she was surrounded by cops. You got all kinds of
things here getting messy and crazy. Lydia moynihan joins us now.
She's a New York Post columnist. So let's start with this.

(00:44):
The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fray, who I think is
one of the worst mayors, perhaps the worst mayor in
the country, maybe even worse than I'm Donnie.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
We'll see.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
He is saying that ICE needs to get the f
out of his city. So he is a petulant child,
throwing profanity around and weighing in on this.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
It seems pretty Prematurely, is that just study to me?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It seems like it's very much just some run city,
and he serves at their pleasure, whether it's eating food
that you can just tell from watching his face he
finds disgusting.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I saw that.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Speaking in their language.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, Yeah, I kind of feel like he isn't really
his city. Look, this is such a tragedy and was
so entirely preventable and predictable because over the last golly,
I mean it's been a year essentially, it's a Trump
took office. All we have heard is the demonization of Ice.

(01:43):
We've heard them likened to Hitler.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
And Nazis, and I mean the Crystal Mocked analogy. Like,
I'm so tired of those analogies.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Can somebody please find a different historical period to liken
things too, Like, let's be a little more creative. And
this has been so encouraged, and of course this was
going to be inevitable that these protesters are encouraged and
told to it to f Ice and f the Feds,

(02:13):
and they're going to be encouraged to be violent. And
this is just an inevitable thing when people are attacking
Ice officers, driving cars essentially into them. This is unfortunately
going to happen, and it's a tragedy and it's preventable,
and it's going to be interesting. I mean, Minnesota was
obviously ground zero for everything with the BLM riots and

(02:36):
obviously the killing of George Floyd and it's going to
be fascinating to see.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Is this sort of giving.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Permission now to everyone to riot and to loot and
to burn, and that's.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
The fallout we're going to Oh yeah, I'm i'mach night.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'm fascinated to see how many people who were expressing
their outrage about January sixth, that riot a day ago,
and now going into what's happening in Minneapolis, we may
be seeing the same I mean, the exact same people
talking about how this is the voice of the voiceless
and this is what happens when and oppression, you know,

(03:12):
finds it's come up and so whatever. I don't know,
So they'll come up with some the.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Permission structures that are that are ranted.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, they're going to figure out some way.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
About that analogy, because you're right, yesterday there was so
much love for cops. We need to turn on any
sort of mainstream media show or or looked at the
media and they talked about how the cops were perfect
on January sixth, and they were just trying to uphold
law and order, and no one seemed to care about
the fact that actually Babbitt was shot and killed. They're

(03:44):
very defensive of that saying, oh, you know, the cops
are on the right, they're trying to maintain order. And
then as soon as it's not January sixth, as soon
as now it's actually ice agent's training to enforce the law.
There of course they'llified and the bad guy. So it's
it's been interesting to watch that sort of one. For
a day we suspended attacks on the cops, but that
has all been forgotten now that it's January seventh.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, the only widespread support I've ever seen for federal
law enforcement from Democrats was to use federal law enforcement
in the process of going after Trump supporters. It's amazing
how there's a lot of federal law enforcement agencies out there.
And the only time I've ever seen Democrats really mobilized
behind any federal law enforcement entity was when it was

(04:27):
arresting their political opponents and throwing them in prison and
doing all kinds of things that we've talked about a
lot here on the show. But nonetheless, it is troubling
to see Tim Walls also weighing in on this one.
I got to say, this is the guy whose political
career is pretty much coming to a screeching Well, I
shouldn't a screeching call because he'll finish out his term,

(04:48):
but it's not going anywhere beyond this after being the
VP candidate. He's definitely not running again in the next
election cycle. He's not running for governor again. Because if
they can get away with billions of dollars for the
Somali Leering Center on your watch, that's a problem.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I would think that's a problem.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, I think you're right. This to me seems to
indicate that the fraud goes far deeper than we had
any understanding of for him to on his own just
volunteer not to one again when the man clearly loves
being empowered, club's being relevant.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
If you remember before he was.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Kabala's running mate, he was on all of the Sunday
shows on Cable News, coined the phrase that jd. Vance
and Trump were weird. So he likes being in the
national eye and being relevant. So for him to sort
of willingly step away from that makes me think that
we have not yet begun to discover all of the fraud,
and right now there's still a lot of reporting that

(05:45):
needs to be done. But questions about what an ilion
omar note, when did you know it? And I think
we're going to start having those questions about Tim Waltz
as well, because you follow the money trail, people were
getting really rich from this, and it wasn't just terrorists
in somal yet, it was also people in Minnesota. And
so I can imagine in the coming weeks we're gonna

(06:07):
see a lot of bad stuff coming out of that,
and maybe donations he is accepted.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I want to throw something of a red pill into
this conversation and just well, that's true, but I'm I'm
spiceding it up a little bit here. I think that
everyone needs to understand as they observe the Somali fraud
things in Minnesota. And we're going to talk about Greenland
here in a second, and whether Lydia is going to
accept the Trump administration post as Empress of Greenland if

(06:33):
in fact, we do seize this territory from the danes
Uh in retribution for what the Vikings did a thousand
years ago.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
But we'll get there in a second.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I have to say, the situation that plays out in Somalia,
everyone has to want I'm sorry, in Minnesota, not in Somalia.
In Minnesota, the situation, I think democrats in that state
may not say this out loud.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I don't think it bothers them that there's all this fraud.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Actually, I think that they view because they're so convinced
that the problems of Somalia are induced by America and
there's so much racism against Somali's who were desperate to
come here somehow a lot of racism, but they really
want to be here that I think that a lot
of a lot of people in Tim Wallas's Minnesota are
fine with what was going on here because it's going

(07:23):
to the Somali community. It's redistribution of wealth. I don't
think they're outraged about.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
It at all.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's reparations on a grand skille. No.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
I this is not necessarily indicative of every single person.
But I have seen so many like man on the
Street interviews, videos from people posting that they love this
Molling community and that they're totally fine with it and
this is being blown out of proportion, and there are
like these white crazy women are so defensive of it,

(07:53):
and so yeah, I've been seeing a lot.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Of these videos, and you make a good a good
point that.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
People don't seem to care. And it's it's interesting because
there is this sort of blind.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Trust in government.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
You know, they hate they hate Trump, they hate the Republicans,
but like they as an entity like the government.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
And trust that it's just doing the right thing with
our money.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
And I also think it's so interesting too, just like
the way that we talk about these numbers, because we're
like thirty seven trillion dollars in debt, so it.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Kind of sounds like, oh, eight billion, nine billion t,
Like what is that? I think people are quick to sort.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Of slap it off, but like bear in mind. I mean,
if we discover more and more.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Like we don't need a breath text it is like
we need to allocate them. Well, but I think you're totally.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Right, but a lot of people just don't do what
to care.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And the only reason I think they think it's it's
worse than I think that they think that this is
a good thing and if it wasn't exposed as criminal,
they are happy that the one hundred and whatever thousand
somalis in Minneapolis that members I know it's not all
of them, obviously, it's but that people within that community
that this money was kind of being washed into that community.

(09:02):
I think that a lot of Democrats a lot of
people vote for Jacob Fray in Minneapolis are like, yeah,
I think it's good. We should be giving them more money.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
No, I definitely think there is that very vocal and
very radical group of people.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
But I would also say I imagine that there's a
lot of like people who are just mining their own
business who don't know that this is going on because
the mainstream media the only reason that there's been any
comfage of it is because they're framing Mike Sureley and
people try to expose the fraud as racists. So I
think there's definitely a subset, as you're saying, that feels
this is justified, that feels right. This we've taken and

(09:39):
we've stolen as imperialists from this community, and it's right
that we're redistributing wealth. I think a lot of people
also don't really understand.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
So so I'm basically jumping ahead, you know, that scale
that the left always operates on, or those steps of
it's not happening, it's only happening a little, it is happening,
and it's a good thing.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
You know. This is the way. This is the way
that the media, this is.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
The way they look We're at the it's it's only
happening a little is where we are now, and that's
why they're saying, oh, it's racist, because the implication here
is like it's a broader thing. But as this is
more exposed and we see and that is overwhelmingly within
the Somali uh immigrant community Minneapolis, then I'm saying you'll

(10:20):
see the true there are true colors here. The supporters
of all this stuff, the Democrat base in Minnesota and
really nationwide is yeah, well, like the Somalis that got
this money, a lot of them needed it, So what's
the what's the biggest And it's.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
A good thing, You're right, Yes, they're gonna have to
find some sort of argument for why fraud is good.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Speaking of speaking of it's happening and it's a good thing.
I got I gotta move to Greenland here, Trump Rubio there, Well,
there we go. I hear it's a little cold, but
they they are and I'm in I love in Miami
Beach now, so I'm not into the cold thing anymore.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I do not do the cold thing.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, and by the way, all right wing punnets need
to move to Florida, Texas or Tennessee. This is crazy.
Talk to stay in New York. That's a whole other conversation. Uh,
the the I've on Florida. Of all three of those,
that's what I think people should do, the reality of
buying Greenland. I don't know why people think this is crazy.
People act like this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Why is it.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
We've bought so much, so much of America was purchased
via agreement as a land deal. Right in fact, most
of America right.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
No, and since I mean since the eighteen hundreds. Actually
there's been a push to acquire Greenland. William William Seward,
who bought Alaska for the US that I also want Greenland.
Harry Truman wanted to get Greenland. So this has been
something that people had been looking at for a long time.
And geographically, obviously it's really important. We hear constantly that
you know, Chump doesn't care about fighting Russia. This is

(11:50):
actually a really strategic location. It's in the Arctic Circle,
and we're also seeing China already. There's this whole program
they have sort of part of their Silk Road initiative.
They'd like a polar Silk Road initiative to get more
access to the Arctic Circle. So this would be a
way to sort of deter that. And this land also
has all of these rare earth minerals that we really
don't have in the US. It's also going to be

(12:12):
a great place for us to launch rockets. We need
a lot more data centers, and it's naturally, as you mentioned,
very cool. So it's the perfect location for this. You know,
I'm curious to see, Like, we're not gonna don't We're
not going to go in and just grab it by force.
But I think a lot of people there's only been
a couple of polls done about what the Greenlandic people want.

(12:34):
I would imagine they would.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Want to be part of the US, like the US
is a great.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Place to be part of.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, well, I think, first of all, I mean, look
what we've done for certain other small minority communities in
this country. I mean, we could set Greenland up with
some crazy casinos and they be making money hand over fist, right.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
I mean, there's all sorts of things that we could do.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Daycare centers in Greenland.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Daycare centers in Greenland, we just shove our money to them,
pretend that they're running their own leering. They're running their
own leering centers in Greenland. I mean, there's so many
things that I think could be done. So this should
be an offer that I believe is at least able
to be heard out. And the funniest part to me
is that people think that this is inherently crazy, Like
why is it crazy the Danes? People say, oh, they're

(13:17):
Danish citizens. I say, first of all, these are essentially
like Inuit people. They're not ethnically It's not like the
Vikings descendants live on Greenland. The community is overwhelmingly I mean,
there's some Danes there, but it's really people who you
would say, oh, they look like Eskimos in our country, Like,
that's actually the indigenous population that lives there, and so
why do they You know, they should be able to choose,

(13:39):
and we should be able to make them an offer
they can't refuse if we want to.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
So I just see this as very straightforward. I don't
know why people think it's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, I think part of the reason too that people
don't like it is a lot of Democrats just kind
of don't want to see America succeed. Like I'm very
bullish on American expansion if it benefits us and it's
certainly going to benefit us. I saw something that we
could pay because there's only fifty six thousand Greenlandic citizens

(14:08):
and they are they're pretty autonomous. I know, Denmark technically,
you know, owns them, but they're a pretty autonomous community.
We could pay each of them like one hundred thousand
dollars a million dollars and it would still come in
I don't know around the price of that we paid
to the Somalian community.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Probably exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
And there's trillions of dollars of natural resources that are
right now undeveloped and may not go and you know,
rare earth minerals, they're doing nobody any good in the ground.
You know, there are things that we could actually leverage
here that make a lot of sense. All right, that one,
and then to close us out here Venezuela. The operation
was an incredible tactical success strategically. Is this amazing? Is

(14:48):
this going to be one of the best moves Trump
has ever made on foreign policy? Or are you worried
that this is going to turn into like Bagdad Circle
two thousand and four?

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Oh god, no, I mean you would be able to
speak to that much rather than I.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
But no, I Actually, I felt so much patriotism over
the last few days, more than I think I felt
in quite some time, because we do have the best
military in the world, and it's amazing to see it
in practice.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
And I think it's just got to be so proud
to be in American and as well, because it's like
we are the most powerful nation in the world. Thank God.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Right when we're powerful, the world is safer, is more peaceful.
And I also think, look, the left keeps talking about lawlessness,
and we didn't obey international law. Do you want to
talk about law fullness? We literally read Madurero his Miranda rights.
We're extraditing him to stand trial in the US. That's
a pretty lawful thing. But I just feel very inspired

(15:40):
by America's power and really proud to see it in action.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Go check out Lydia Moynihan's social media channels. Everybody, go
follow her on x look for her columns at The
New York Post. Is moynihan, Thanks for making the time
