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 camera 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 camera footage was fatal to the official narrative concerning Floyd’s death. 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. But by the time the footage was released 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. 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 decisively won the popular vote — an achievement that was unthinkable, according to most political observers. 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 Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday, the Left attempted to run the same George Floyd playbook all over again. Even though Good was a white woman — and therefore very, very low on the Left’s racial victim hierarchy — 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. 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 cellphone. You’d think, if this woman thought that she and her lesbian associate had done nothing wrong, that she’d be plastering this footage on every social media platform, and doing constant appearances on CNN and MSNBC. But she’s not doing that. Instead, Good’s associate has kept the footage hidden. 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, they took full advantage of it. One after another, they flagrantly lied about Good’s actions, which directly led to her death. Here’s Adam Schiff and the sheriff of Philadelphia, to give just two examples: “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.” – Adam Schiff, 48 hours ago https://t.co/esQgBntCSf pic.twitter.com/5NeRqcGF6Z — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) January 10, 2026 Credit: @WesternLensman/X.com WOW. Rochelle Bilal, head of the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office, says that ICE is a “fake” law enforcement agency and threatens to ARREST federal agents for carrying out immigration operations. “You don’t want this smoke. Cause we will bring it to you.”pic.twitter.com/rcOM6aO2Md — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) January 9, 2026 Credit: @LibsofTikTok/X.com By the time Schiff and the Philadelphia sheriff were lying like this, there were already a handful of videos — which we talked about last week — showing that Good had parked her car perpendicular in the middle of the road, in order to obstruct ICE. 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 describe 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? This was an argument that never made any sense because, even if this woman really was going to a daycare, that obviously doesn’t give her a right to commit a felony by blocking a road and obstructing a law enforcement operation. 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. That doesn’t mean he was immune from criminal prosecution. Then more videos came out, and even this flimsy daycare defense — such as it was — collapsed. Unlike the George Floyd scam, these new videos didn’t take months to surface. 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. Meanwhile, on the Left, there’s still the sense that white people can’t possibly be martyrs. They’re all “colonizers,” regardless of their politics.  That additional footage that buried the hoax came from the ICE officer’s cell phone camera, as well as cell phones from additional homeowners in the area. The footage shows that both Good and her lesbian friend were openly harassing ICE officers for more than 3 minutes before the shooting. They were clearly enjoying themselves, and fully aware of what they were doing. Good was dancing in her car as she honked her horn while blocking the road. And Good’s friend, after harassing the officers, screamed at Good to “drive, baby drive” when ICE agents attempted to arrest her for obstruction. In other words, she encouraged her friend to commit a violent crime, on camera. Watch: ? BREAKING: Was just sent a video showing the moments before the shooting.

All his BS is totally undermined. pic.twitter.com/3DvsfnEMsz — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 11, 2026 Credit: @SteveGuest/X.com First of all, when you block a road — as Renee did — you are committing multiple serious felonies that can, and should, put you in prison for decades. We’re not just talking about obstructing an investigation, or breaking traffic laws. We’re also talking about false imprisonment — as in, you’re falsely imprisoning everyone who’s trying to use the road. You’re effectively kidnapping them because you’re restricting and redirecting their movement, against their will. This isn’t some novel legal theory I’m talking about. Just a couple of years ago, San Francisco’s DA — yes, the DA of one of the most Left-wing cities on the planet — brought false imprisonment charges against dozens of pro-Gaza rioters, after they blocked the Golden Gate Bridge for several hours. Ambulances couldn’t get through. Neither could the police or anyone else. If San Francisco can bring the appropriate charges in a situation like that, then the Trump administration can bring down the hammer on these people as well. Smash every window of every car that’s blocking a road for any reason — but especially if they’re impeding ICE investigations. Haul everyone in the car to federal prison.  The good news is that, as of today, there are signs that ICE is taking these kinds of blockades more seriously.  On Sunday, ICE did indeed start breaking windows and dragging rioters out of their cars when they attempted to shut down roads and follow ICE around the city. They also started knocking over low-testosterone men who decided to stand in front of ICE vehicles, as you can see here. These videos are always so funny man, the guy gets in front of the car to act tough and then the ICE agent immediately slams him to the ground and the woman filming starts panicking: “What the fuck I can’t believe that happened!”pic.twitter.com/Z9CFh3vqXY — captive dreamer (@captive_dreamer) January 11, 2026 Credit: @captive_dreamer/X.com The guy collapses like a twig. And then the vehicle can proceed, as the Leftist women scream in the background. And that’s important because, for many months now, Leftists have viewed these tactics as an effective way to “de-arrest” illegal aliens. They’ve been taught, by well-organized and well-funded groups, that blockading and hounding ICE is a lawful and effective tactic. They’ve been told that ICE doesn’t have jurisdiction over American citizens, which is false. They’ve been told that ICE can’t arrest American citizens for interfering with their investigations, which is also false. And now ICE is responding with lawful force, which they should’ve been doing all along. More on that in a second. But first, we need to go back to the footage you just saw, from the Renee Good shooting. You hear the ICE officer at the end respond by saying “woah” as the lesbian agitator floors it, after looking directly at him, while he’s standing in front of the car. The agent clearly wasn’t expecting her to drive directly into him. He wasn’t looking for an excuse to shoot her. He was responding to the fact that he was getting hit by a car, which you can clearly see in this footage:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by KSTP 5 Eyewitness News (@kstptv) Credit: @kstptv/Instagram.com The reason there’s a bullet hole in Renee Good’s front windshield is that, as this footage clearly shows, the agent was directly in front of the car when she accelerated. She hit him with her car, after spending three minutes blocking the road. To be clear, the relevant question is not, “With the benefit of hindsight, would the officer definitely have been killed if he hadn’t opened fire?” And the relevant question is not, “What exactly was the lesbian agitator intending to do when she drove off?” None of that matters. What matters is whether the officer truly believed that his life was in danger, and whether his belief was objectively reasonable under the circumstances. That’s it. As for intent, there is effectively no difference — morally or legally — between hitting an officer with your car on purpose while you try to evade arrest and hitting an officer by accident while you try to evade arrest. In both cases, you’re attempting to escape, and committing a violent act against a law enforcement officer as a direct result of that decision. Whether you meant to commit the act, or you meant only to get away and didn’t care if you hit him or not, is basically irrelevant. As for the officer’s state of mind, it’s relevant that he reacted with shock when Renee Good started driving, as he was positioned in front of the car. It’s also why it’s relevant that this same ICE agent — the same one who shot Renee Good — had been dragged, and seriously injured, by a vehicle during an arrest just a few months ago. He was well aware of the risks that are involved when a car is driving towards him. Additionally, at that moment, as the car hit him, he was also worried about the safety of the agent who was holding onto the driver’s side door. And the officer’s concerns were objectively reasonable, because cars are capable of doing an enormous amount of damage to the human body when you’re standing in front of them and they’re coming towards you. That’s common sense — but just in case it isn’t, there are plenty of police fatalities that prove the point. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Renee Good intended to kill the officer. But it does mean that, through her actions, she gave him a reasonable impression that his life was in danger. And therefore, she had it coming — legally speaking. By the way, as we’ve discussed before on this show, it used to be the law in this country (in many states) that police could shoot felons who tried to flee. It didn’t matter if the felon was actively posing a threat to anyone’s life. The mere fact that a felon was refusing lawful orders to stop, by itself, justified the use of lethal force. It wasn’t until the mid-1980s when the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, changed the law on that. But before that point, in many states, and in the common law, a fleeing felon could be stopped by the police with lethal force. If you, say, robbed a home, and then ran away when the police told you to stop in the name of the law, then the police could shoot you in the back, and they wouldn’t face any consequences. If anything, the police officer would get a promotion. That’s one of the reasons why, when you watch movies that are 30 or 40 years old, or older, you often see police firing shots at criminals as they run away. It looks funny to us now, and we assume that was just a Hollywood thing, but it wasn’t. Until relatively recently, that’s exactly how police would and could respond if you ran away.  Maybe no one wants to say it out loud, but it was obviously a better system than the one we have now. If you’re suspected of 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. If that sounds extreme to you — think about the last time you were accused of committing a felony, and then ran away from the cops when they showed up. It’s not something that happens to functioning members of civilization, ever, for any reason. It’s something that only deranged and dysfunctional people do, by definition. 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 won’t solve anything.  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 to hold their fire, when confronted with people like this? This is all academic of course. The fact remains that Good hit the officer with her car, which means he was perfectly legally justified — 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, until recently. 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 that they’re reaching, and it’s not very convincing. Here’s the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey. Watch: Frey: “You had a person that was definitively trying to just get out of there. They were trying to leave the scene.” They were actively impeding ICE officers, as we all saw, and then weaponized their vehicle against them. pic.twitter.com/01u1KwTRM2 — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 11, 2026 Credit: @RapidResponse47/X.com The utter shamelessness, even by the standards of Jacob Frey and the Democrat Party, is truly extraordinary. Yeah, she was just doing a three-point turn, just like his wife does, every day. It’s a perfect comparison, except for the fact that, when you’re doing a normal three-point turn, there isn’t a human being directly in front of your car, who you’ve been stalking and harassing all morning, and who you clearly see, with your eyes, as you press the gas pedal. When you’re doing a normal three-point turn, you’re not trying to murder a federal agent. Other than that tiny little distinction, Jacob Frey’s comparison is spot-on. Frey tells us that the woman was just trying to “get away” — which again, is irrelevant even if it’s true. Even if she had no intention of harming the officer, she still put that officer in a reasonable, imminent fear of his life. Her attempt to “get away” was, at best, extremely dangerous and reckless. And regardless of her intent, it justified the use of lethal force.  You get the sense that most people in this country, despite the relentless lying, understand all of this. One after another, Democrats are failing to convince the public to buy into the Renee Good hoax. Their arguments are simply too weak and too transparent. Ilhan Omar for example went on CBS on Sunday to explain that the ICE officer is responsible for Good’s death because he positioned himself in front of a moving car, which isn’t true — and which still wouldn’t justify what Good did, even if it were true. Watch: Rep. Ilhan Omar completely distorts the facts saying Renee Good was “peacefully” sitting in her car, and the ICE agent tried to “get in front of her moving car” Of course @CBSNews, who just promised to earn our trust back, never corrects her. ? pic.twitter.com/ZinjHT5PHp — Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) January 11, 2026 Credit: @TheChiefNerd/X.com The CBS anchor doesn’t push back on this absurd answer, even though CBS is supposedly a reformed news organization. The truth, of course, is that when law enforcement issues a lawful order — when they detain you and tell you to get out of the car — they can stand wherever they want. You don’t get to put the car in drive and move towards the officers, which is what happened in this case. Renee Good’s car was not moving, in any way, when the agents approached and told her to get out. The body camera makes that very clear. Then, instead of getting out of the car, she puts it in reverse, before throwing it in drive. She is fully responsible for everything that transpired afterwards. It’s not the job of ICE agents to dive out of the way of whatever trajectory she’s planning, which they can’t possibly know. Even on MSNBC aka MS Now, things aren’t going much better for Democrats. A Minnesota lawmaker named Aisha Gomez was asked about the latest video evidence in the case, and she flat-out admitted that she’s not interested in watching it. Here she is: MN Dem State Rep Aisha Gomez says she hasn’t watched latest DHS “propaganda video” because it won’t change her mind on what happened. “A masked federal agent ex*cute(d) someone in the street during the morning commute.” The facts are irrelevant to the narrative. https://t.co/esQgBnt52H pic.twitter.com/mdonXxlLRl — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) January 11, 2026 Credit: @WesternLensman/X.com Watching interviews like this, it’s impossible to ignore how female-driven a lot of this outrage is. It was a lesbian agitator who got herself killed, at the behest of her lesbian friend. And now a lot of unhinged women are trying — and failing — to sustain a false narrative about what happened. They’re not relying on facts or evidence, because they know they don’t have any facts or evidence. Instead, predictably, they’re getting emotional. They’re whining like children. And despite the shooting of Renee Good, they’re continuing to tail ICE vehicles and ICE agents, like it’s a game. Here’s a small sample of what I’m talking about: Watch: Credit: Video collection: Tim Cast/KimKatieUSA/BreccaStoll/BubbleBathGirl/GrageDustin/EndWokeness/TONYxTWO/ViralVideos As long as that montage was, it’s just a fraction of the clips we have, in this genre of “women harassing ICE.” It’s not hard to see that many of these women are living out a twisted psycho-sexual fantasy. They’re baiting ICE agents to “discipline” them and “put them in time out.” This is why, when the ICE agents respond to them, they’re incapable of forming a rational thought. They just start screaming and crying and stammering. They’re also redirecting their neurotic maternal instincts for the benefit of illegal aliens, many of whom are murderers and rapists. These women don’t have children to take care of, in many cases. (Or, in the case of Renee Good, they don’t have children they seem interested in taking care of.) So, instead, they fixate on protecting the illegal aliens, on the theory that the criminals are being persecuted. There’s nothing intelligent or coherent about any of their complaints. They know immigration laws were passed by Congress and signed by the president. They know every country on the planet has them, by necessity. They’re simply taking the opportunity to act out, and play “hero,” as if they’re living in Nazi Germany. It’s transparent and pathetic and, frankly, sometimes fairly amusing. For example, during CNN’s live coverage the other day, a woman berated the CNN reporter, demanding to know where she worked. And then the reporter replies, “CNN, it’s OK.” Watch: Hostile agitator gets right in a reporter’s face: ‘Who are you? Who do you work for?’ She answers: ‘We’re with CNN.’ Agitator: ‘OK’ turns and walks away.

And then the rioter immediately runs away. Wouldn’t want any friendly fire here. But not every news outlet is compromised in quite the same way. Over at National Review, they just reported on some of the pamphlets and materials that “ICE WATCH” — the group that Renee Good was a member of — has been distributing recently. One of those pamphlets advises members like Renee Good to, “BLOCK THE KIDNAPPERS CARS WITH MULTIPLE CARS.” There’s also the suggestion that white people should offer themselves as human shields for illegal aliens — apparently because they believe white privilege is a literal shield against all physical harm. That’s not an abstract or metaphorical point for these people. It’s their genuine belief. Then there’s this pamphlet from the same group.  ICE DEAREST PRIMER https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G-QV7tracAAN1Cn?format=jpg&name=large It teaches members how to “de-arrest” illegals. It reads, “One basic and pretty effective implementation of this tactic is totally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle and chanting LET THEM GO.” This is the kind of propaganda that resonates with dumb, unhinged women like Renee Good — who, by the way, looked a lot less crazy just a few years ago, before she became heavily involved in Left-wing activism. (Of course, the media isn’t running those newer photos.) It’s also the kind of activism that her child’s school, called Southside, would probably approve of.  Here’s a video I found from the school a few years ago. Watch: Credit: Center for Community-Engaged Learning/YouTube.com Yes, a school for kindergartners makes everything — everything, including math and science — about “social justice.” They have some of their students, in a K-8 school, participating in protests and marches on the street. And of course the parents are also part of this campaign. The parents connect and join groups, like ICE Watch, where they coordinate campaigns to harass law enforcement. It should go without saying that there is no reason for a school like this to receive any federal tax benefits or funding — which the Southside school does receive, at the moment. They aren’t schools at all. They’re indoctrination centers. They’re teaching an ideology that directly inspires domestic terrorists. The Trump administration, at a minimum, should cut all of these so-called “nonprofit” schools off. Eliminate all their funding. Schools like this turn lawlessness into a lifestyle choice. It’s the kind of propaganda that convinces women like Good to abandon the one child they’re still allowed to take care of, and spend their day on the streets, harassing ICE officers. But it’s important to understand that these women are not the entire problem. They’re a major problem, because they vote and own cars. But they’re not the full extent of it.

All of them need to be deported by ICE — or if necessary, by the U.S. military. And that is, indeed, where Democrats want this crisis to go. Democrats in power will happily use any demographic group — whether it’s unhinged women or sub-literate Somalis — to trigger a broader, more violent civil conflict in this country. They want to provoke more incidents like this one, until they get the violence they’re looking for. The overriding policy goal of the Democrat Party, for the better part of a decade, has been to cause a domestic color revolution in this country. If not a full-on civil war, they want widespread riots and social upheaval that dismantles our constitutional order and the rule of law. In this case, they want a direct, violent conflict between the states and officers of the federal government.  For their part, ICE is aware of what Democrats are planning. And they appear to be preparing for it.  Watch: Philadelphia “Sheriff” @PhilaSheriff Rochelle Bilal should resign before she embarrasses herself any further. “Arresting ICE officers”? Try it.

If the state of Minnesota decides to ignore federal sovereignty, and attempts to arrest and prosecute ICE agents — or kill them outright — then many other Democrat-run states will follow. The people living in these states do not respect any election in which they lose. That’s why they invented the Russiagate hoax. And it’s why they’re openly talking about insurrection now — even though, again, Trump told us he would enforce immigration law, and most Americans voted for him.  At that point — once ICE agents are targeted by the states — the federal government would have no choice but to send in the military to restore order.

Of course, that’s always been the goal of mass migration and white replacement. It’s always been the goal of the modern Democrat Party to end American exceptionalism. That’s why they’re lying about Renee Good, a woman they don’t remotely care about, even though the facts of the case clearly disprove their entire narrative. They see her as the first casualty of a much, much larger war that they want to fight. And they’ll eventually get what they’re looking for, unless the Trump administration immediately dismantles all of the groups that are organizing these attacks on federal law enforcement. They’re all over the Internet, operating with impunity — and with substantial financial assistance, in many cases. Shut it down. Bring RICO and terrorism cases. Do what you should’ve done after Charlie Kirk’s murder. Wage war against the terrorists because, as the Renee Good case demonstrates very clearly, they are already waging war against us.

It appears more criminals are trying to run over DHS agents. Last Thursday in Portland, Oregon, two criminals attempting to run over an ICE agent were shot. Now, you’re not hearing quite as much about this story as the story in Minneapolis. That’s because it wasn’t some white lesbian activist. In this case, as the local news in Portland reports, the two people who tried to run over the federal agent were a suspected gangster and his prostitute, both of whom appear to have ties to Tren de Aragua. This is another example of body camera footage and the facts vindicating law enforcement, totally upending the liberal narrative. The same thing happened in Minneapolis. In fact, the Left’s attempt to gin up these kinds of stories against cops goes all the way back to the Michael Brown case. Here we have a very clear case: illegal immigrants associated with a particularly violent Venezuelan gang, running a human trafficking ring, trying to run over cops, who were then shot. It appears they weren’t killed, but they were stopped. And yet, the Police Chief in Portland, Bob Day, had a different take on law enforcement preventing Latin American gangsters from running them over: Watch: Portland Police Chief Bob Day deserves to be mocked.

I hesitated to even share this information initially because I’m very aware of the historic injustice of victim blaming, oftentimes portrayed by law enforcement, including this very agency that I’ve represented so proudly for so many years — for just a moment, specifically to my Latino community. It’s sad and small, my goodness, that we even have to qualify these remarks, because I understand — or at least have attempted to understand through your voices — your concern, your fear, your anger. This information in no way is meant to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday. What actions occurred yesterday? The actions that occurred were that Venezuelan gangsters, associated with a foreign terrorist organization, tried to run over a cop, and he shot them. He says, “I hesitated to even share this information initially because I’m very aware of the historic injustice of victim blaming…” The victim in this case being a Venezuelan pimp terrorist who was trying to run over a cop in America. He says, “This information in no way is meant to condone…” You don’t condone it? You should resign. You don’t condone federal law enforcement protecting itself against a terrorist trying to run them over? A pimp, Venezuelan illegal terrorist trying to run them over? You don’t condone that? Then you need to resign, because your judgment is severely impaired. Portland’s police chief then starts crying. Crying? Even the most sensitive woman, the most opposed to violence, a dainty little gal with a modicum of common sense would not cry in this situation. If one were to cry in this situation, it would be on behalf of the poor law enforcement officer almost run over by these animals. But no, he cries for the animals. WATCH: The Michael Knowles Show So how do we prevent more incidents like these? Allow federal law enforcement to vigorously enforce the law. Because if we don’t, one of two things will happen. Either these people are going to run amok, which will result in more rioting and a lot of dead leftist agitators, as happened during BLM. When the politicians told the cops to stand down, BLM burned down cities across the country. Dozens of people caught up in the mob violence were killed, many of them sympathetic to BLM. The other option is police and federal agents not allowing themselves to be run over — whether by agitators, white ladies in Minneapolis, or foreign gangsters. Those are the only two options. If you want fewer dead agitators, which I do, then allow law enforcement to do their job. I don’t celebrate the death of the lady in Minneapolis. I don’t even really celebrate when Tren de Arugula gang members are mowed down. I would much rather see them reformed. Let them repent and lead flourishing lives. So if you want those people not to be injured or killed, you need the law to be enforced.

Bongino announced his return to podcasting on Monday after exiting the FBI at the start of the year. “The Dan Bongino Show,” when it returns, will be live-streamed exclusively on Rumble from 10 a.m. to noon ET. The show will bring “Bongino’s unique insider perspective back to his loyal audience following a year of government service,” according to a press release. After the livestream, the show will be released on all major podcast platforms. “The new version of The Dan Bongino Show will expand on its legacy with a renewed focus on Washington insights, behind-the-scenes details from his time in government, and a message of hope and resilience in the conservative movement,” the release says. Thank you all for allowing me to serve you. We’re back on air February 2nd at 10a ET, live on https://t.co/G2Wjvsa9dR. There’s a lot to talk about. ?? pic.twitter.com/6C4IEnXYMY — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) January 12, 2026 Bongino was a popular conservative podcaster before he returned to public service as the deputy director of President Donald Trump’s FBI. After joining the administration early last year, Bongino took part in major Justice Department cases, including the release of files related to the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Bongino also played a leading role in the investigation into the person who left pipe bombs outside of the Democratic and Republican national headquarters in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021. Attorney General Pam Bondi noted in a press conference last month that arresting the suspected bomber was “the best birthday present” Bongino could have asked for. Bongino also reportedly clashed with Bondi throughout his tenure at the bureau over the handling of the Epstein files. Bondi teased potential bombshells to be revealed in additional documents made public, but the bombshells never materialized. Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel, before release of the files, warned that the documents did not contain smoking guns such as a list of all of Epstein’s acquaintances suspected of sexually abusing underage girls. White House chief of staff Susie Wiles criticized Bondi’s handling of the Epstein release last year. Wiles complimented Bongino and Patel, however. “The people that really appreciated what a big deal this is are Kash [Patel] and [FBI deputy director] Dan Bongino,” she said, referring to the release of the Epstein files. She noted that the pair had been among the loudest calling for transparency in the case.

The suspect accused of setting Mississippi’s oldest synagogue on fire admitted to starting the blaze because of the building’s “Jewish ties,” and even laughed about the horrific crime, according to an FBI affidavit, saying, “he finally got them.” The criminal complaint submitted by the FBI listed Stephen Spencer Pittman as the man who lit a fire inside Beth Israel Congregation and the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life in Jackson, Mississippi, over the weekend. Security video shows a man pouring what appears to be gasoline inside the synagogue in the early hours of January 10, according to the affidavit. Pittman’s father contacted the FBI, telling the agency his son admitted to the crime. Per the report, Pittman called the buildings he burned the “synagogue of Satan” and laughed as he described what he did. In his confession, he said he stopped at a gas station to get the fuel he used to start the fire, took his license plate off his car at the gas station, broke the windows of the synagogue with an axe, poured gas inside the building, then used a torch lighter to ignite the fire. The confession was further verified by burns on Pittman’s body as well as text messages and map data that put Pittman at the center of the arson, per the affidavit. Pittman texted his father before he started the fire. He sent a picture of the synagogue with the message “there’s a furnace in the back.” The suspect’s father “pleaded” with Pittman to come home, but his son was defiant and told his father he was due for a home run, and he “did his research.” Pittman was quickly arrested and charged with maliciously damaging or destroying a building by means of fire or an explosive, per the report that was filed in the U.S. District Court in Mississippi on Monday. The fire severely burned parts of the synagogue, including the library and administrative offices.

One of the Torahs that survived the fire over the weekend also survived the Holocaust and was stored in a glass case in the synagogue. Jackson Fire Chief RaSean Thomas said the station’s hearts are with the Beth Israel congregation. “We stand with this community and affirm that hate has no home here. Jackson is stronger when we stand together,” Thomas said. Monday, yellow police tape still blocked off entrances to the synagogue building, which still had broken glass and soot everywhere, per the Associated Press. The outlet reported that people had laid flowers on the ground at the building’s entrance. Beth Israel is Mississippi’s only synagogue in Jackson. It has a history of being the target of hate crimes dating back to the 1960s when the KKK bombed the synagogue. Antisemitic attacks have risen dramatically in recent years, from the Tree of Life shooting in 2018 to the Bondi Beach terror attack just before Christmas. The Anti-Defamation League reported over 9,000 documented anti-semitic attacks in 2024 alone — the highest number on record since they began tracking such data in 1979. Beth Israel is closed indefinitely as the synagogue is rebuilt.

Two Senate Republicans are standing in the way of efforts to eliminate a major DEI program that gives no-bid federal contracts to “socially disadvantaged” groups, a letter obtained by The Daily Wire shows. Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan wrote to agencies saying that a race-based program that removes competition for federal contracts for racial minorities “has reflected conservative, market-based principles by empowering small businesses to compete, grow, and succeed.” They said a Republican request that agencies review past contracts for “potential fraud” was “premature” and “unsupported by established facts.” The Trump administration’s Small Business Administration moved to rein in the federal minority contracting program, known as 8(a), after a black businessman bribed a USAID official for half a billion dollars in contracts — a bribe the official could make good on only because contracts to minorities can be handed out at will instead of based on a showing of best value. In October, James O’Keefe’s Citizen Journalism Foundation captured officials from a white-led, but ostensibly Native American contractor, bragging about how they got a $100 million contract using minority preference and simply found someone else to do the actual work for a small portion of that. Follow-up reporting featured members of the Native American tribe bemoaning that outsiders were abusing the tribe’s name to enrich themselves, while tribe members lived in poverty. Alaska Natives get even more preferential treatment than black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans, allowing them to run multibillion-dollar defense contractor companies while getting benefits initially designed for small, disadvantaged firms. In December, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, which has jurisdiction over the program, wrote to agencies asking them to “immediately pause all 8(a) sole-source contracting” and “examine all 8(a) set-aside contracts awarded by your agency since FY 20 for any violation of laws and regulations,” noting that the Biden administration raised the goal for minority contracts to 15%. For years, inquiries have flagged fraud and abuse in such arrangements, but Alaska Republicans have used their disproportionate power in the Senate to make the topic off-limits. The now-deceased Ted Stevens was an Alaska Republican who chaired the Senate’s Appropriations Committee for years, and Murkowski now sits on the committee. Before the DEI craze captured Democrats, it wasn’t partisan to point out waste and abuse. In 2010, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) found abuse similar to what was highlighted by O’Keefe. But Murkowski “immediately sprung into action, lodging objections” to McCaskill’s effort to reform the program. McCaskill folded, but said, “Reform in this area is going to happen. It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.” In the time since, little has changed. In 2011, The Washington Post reported that a D.C. lawyer named Paralee White had used the Alaska program to land more than $500 million in military contracts and pay her family members lavish salaries. The Post noted, “Significantly for White, the subsidiaries set up by the corporations to receive contracts did not have to operate in Alaska or even be run by natives. They just had to be 51 percent owned by Alaska Natives, and they could hire nonnative subcontractors to do much of the work.” In another case, a Bethesda, Maryland, man was paid $15 million to run an Alaskan government contractor for three years, while Alaska Natives received a total of $682,000 in dividends in 2009, or $305 each. The company won a contract to make military uniforms, which it manufactured in Puerto Rico instead of Alaska. Sullivan and Murkowski did not publicize their letters to federal agencies, which goes against Republican orthodoxy when it comes to DEI and fraud and waste. A spokesman for Murkowski, Joseph Plesha, did not respond when The Daily Wire asked about the letter. The inquiry asked: “Do you think the SBA and agencies have done a sufficient job rooting out abuse? If not, what are some examples that you’ve uncovered through your oversight? Do you support 8(a) for all minorities or only Alaskan natives?” It also asked whether the type of Alaska Native Corporation that Murkowski holds up as a success includes Bowhead, virtually all of whose executives are white men. Bowhead is technically an arm of an Alaskan tribe, but it is headquartered in the D.C. suburbs, and its family of high-tech defense contractors looks and operates like Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin — but without having to compete with them on price. A spokeswoman for Sen. Sullivan, Amanda Coyne, also did not respond to a Daily Wire inquiry requesting data showing that such firms were actually staffed by Alaska Natives. The letter said the 8(a) program “reduces administrative burden, shortens acquisition timelines, and avoids the delays and litigation risks that often accompany large-scale procurements. Further, as two Senators who care about the readiness of our military, we consistently hear from top Pentagon officials that the 8(a) Program provides flexibility and timeliness in procuring weapons systems that strengthen our country.” The reason that some government officials like using 8(a) contracting is that they do not have to bother with competing for the work, a process designed to get the highest quality and lowest cost. Instead, they can simply choose who they want to give it to. At times, that includes the implicit understanding that the supposedly disadvantaged firm will subcontract much of the work to a traditional firm. The 8(a) program is also facing court challenges, particularly after recent Supreme Court decisions made it likely that elements of it are unconstitutional. Multiple injunctions have been put in place by judges, and a lawsuit by lawyers from the Center for Individual Rights and the Wisconsin Institute for Life and Liberty has recently been filed on behalf of white people who were left out in the cold. Dan Lennington, the director of the Wisconsin group’s Equality Under the Law Project, told The Daily Wire, “There is simply no question that the 8(a) program has been the source of significant waste, fraud, and abuse. The program was designed for ‘economically disadvantaged’ small business owners, yet our clients have reported that these limits are not enforced and easily evaded, meaning that high net-worth individuals often scoop up preferences and sole-source contracts.” “Moreover, the Section 8(a) program has been tainted with unconstitutional racial preferences, including racial preferences for ‘Alaska Natives,’ which Senators Murkowski and Sullivan undoubtedly support. Federal law defines this category based on ‘blood,’ ‘bloodlines,’ and ‘minimum blood quantum,’ all of which constitute unconstitutional racial categorizations. SBA should vigorously enforce the President’s Executive Orders, which require all agencies to eliminate racial preferences, including those remaining in Section 8(a),” he continued. Murkowski and Sullivan’s letter read: Fraud, waste, and abuse have no place in federal programs, and any participant who violates the law should be held fully accountable. However, we write to express serious concern with recent, unsubstantiated attacks on the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program and the request that federal agencies halt all 8(a) sole-source awards absent verified findings of wrongdoing. On December 8, 2025, the Chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship sent letters to 22 federal agencies urging a pause on future 8(a) sole-source awards and a review of prior awards based on allegations of “potential fraud.” These requests are premature, unsupported by established facts, and risk significant harm to federal missions and thousands of compliant small businesses that lawfully participate in this program. Broad, sensationalized allegations leveled before the completion of any investigation amount to a presumption of guilt and undermine fundamental principles of due process. For more than 40 years, the 8(a) Program, authorized under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, has been one of the federal government’s most effective tools for promoting entrepreneurship and economic mobility for disadvantaged communities. Participating firms routinely deliver high-quality, specialized services, achieve strong Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) performance ratings, and provide agencies with cost-effective, timely procurement options. The program reduces administrative burden, shortens acquisition timelines, and avoids the delays and litigation risks that often accompany large-scale procurements. Further, as two Senators who care about the readiness of our military, we consistently hear from top Pentagon officials that the 8(a) Program provides flexibility and timeliness in procuring weapons systems that strengthen our country. We fully support targeted, evidence-based oversight that identifies and removes bad actors. We cannot support sweeping actions that jeopardize thousands of legitimate businesses, many of which perform mission-critical work for your agency and others across the federal government. Accordingly, we urge you to continue utilizing the 8(a) Program consistent with existing law and regulation, while allowing any appropriate reviews to proceed in an orderly and fact-driven manner. For decades, this program has reflected conservative, market-based principles by empowering small businesses to compete, grow, and succeed, rather than expanding government dependence on bureaucracy.
