Show Open:

  • Minnesota (State and Minneapolis) this is what I described as a “Super Sanctuary.”
  • The woman gunned down by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who described herself as a mother, a wife and a poet.
  • “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother, Donna Ganger, told the newspaper. (NY Post)
  • Her mom added: “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
  • Good was the mom of a 6-year-old boy and had recently moved to the neighborhood with her wife and son, according to her distraught spouse and a neighbor who spoke to the Tribune. She was killed just blocks away from her home, the outlet reported. 
  • Her young son was left an orphan by the shooting, according to his shaken grandfather. 
  • The child’s father, a comedian Good was previously married to, died in 2023, also at age 37. 
  • “There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s paternal grandfather told the local publication, adding he’d do whatever it takes “to come and get my grandchild.” 
  • I have to admit my friends, I agree with Tampon-Tim. This was “so preventable,” but in reality; it was so predictable because this shooting was precisely what the Dem-Coms were planning; this shooting was exactly what the Dem-Coms have been hoping for. 
  • As this nation inches closer and closer to all-out revolution in our streets, at what point do we need to plan for a Maduro like capture of each and every Dem-Com planning for the overthrow of our Republic?
  • Don’t be fooled at the phony outrage of the Dem-Coms to this shooting by an ICE officer, our enemies are already using it to muster the troops for another George Floyd election year push.

9:35

Segment Topic:

  • What is the probability that these organized groups targeting Federal law enforcement are being funded, controlled and coordinated by foreign actors, such as the CCP?
  • The NY Post reported earlier this week that a far-left, China-aligned group which organized pro-Nicolas Maduro protests in New York and other US states was organized by a hardcore left-wing group The People’s Forum, which has close ties to China.
  • Yesterday in Minneapolis, we saw Mexican flags being waved and the American flag burned!
  • In your recent story in The Gateway Pundit on December 18th, you point out that:
    • “Angry Instagram posts claim that ICE snatched peoplefrom their citizenship hearings or the final stage before being sworn in as citizens, but these stories intentionally misrepresent the facts. They want people to believe that ICE did something nefarious, prevented applicants from completing a legal process, or restricted or violated their rights. In reality, ICE actions are legal and easily explained. The media simply refuses to print the truth and explain what is actually happening.”  Does that not appear like propaganda designed to stir up the kind of activity we saw yesterday?
  • Graceffo, what is your analysis of the Russian-flagged tanker incident off the coast of VZ yesterday?

Panelist:

Antonio Graceffo, PhD, China-MBA, is an economist and national security analyst, with a focus on China and Russia.

Segment Topic: 

  • Dem-Coms found a way to get Somali-fraud story buried and in a hurry!
  • There was a rush to label a woman who tried to mow-down the officer as the victim and the officer as a murderer.
  • The dead woman was apparently causing trouble for ICE all day. Why was she there?  I thought she was a loving mom?
  • The woman gunned down by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who described herself as a mother, a wife and a poet. (NY Post)
  • Why wasn’t Renee at home writing poetry?
  • Why wasn’t she watching her child?
  • According to the dead woman’s mother: “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” She also tried to cause harm to a Federal law enforcement officer.  What we all saw did not look very compassionate did it?
  • If the father of her child is dead, why did she risk her own life? Now her child is an orphan.

Segment Topic: 

  • Police officers at: “At that moment!”
  • 2014 SCOTUS decision – qualified immunity for officer who used deadly force (9-0 decision)!
  • Judge, you have seen the video of the shooting, what is your analysis from a legal standpoint?
  • The capture of Maduro and his wife is a hotly debated topic right now.
    • Did the active warrants on Nicholas Maduro and his wife justify the action?
    • You have recently rejected the argument on the Monroe Doctrine with respect to VZ. Do you still reject this argument?
  • A Lawless Presidency: (Judge Andrew Napolitano)
    • The United States invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro, the domestically recognized Venezuelan president, violated the U.S. Constitution and international law.
    • The Constitution makes clear that only Congress can authorize a foreign invasion.
    • In the pre-World War II era, Congress declared war on countries that attacked the U.S. or were allied with those that did, and those declarations expired upon the surrender by legal authorities in the targeted countries.
  • Was this really an invasion or a military operation?

James Madison himself argued at the Constitutional Convention that if a president could both declare war and wage war, he’d be a prince; not unlike the British monarch from whose authority the 13 colonies had just seceded.

And the American drafters of the U.N. Charter, indeed American senators who voted to ratify it, understood that its very purpose was to prevent unlawful and morally unjustified attacks by one-member nation upon another.

Panelist:

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Newsmax, Host: Judging Freedom Podcast; his latest Opinion Piece: “A Lawless Presidency”

  • What is the latest on the J6 Bomber case?
