Hi everyone-
You can listen and subscribe to The Pod Millennial on Apple Podcasts! We'll be dropping new episodes every Tuesday.
Let's get into it:
If there's anything that's become clear in the wake of the Minnesota mayhem, it's that the left is insanely well organized. They believe in their mission, and they are well-equipped to recruit new activists to their cause. They have Democrat lawmakers not only on their side but driving the actions and encouraging them. This is something we talked about at length on Timcast IRL last night, which is also the last IRL I'll be doing for a while since the studio has officially left the wild, wonderful state of West Virginia.
Democratic elected leaders seem more comfortable picketing Congress than working within the system to change things. They spend more time screaming through the activist megaphone than they do working with their colleagues to do right by the American people. It's a little eye-opening to see that leftist ideologues are in so much control of the narrative simply by having their fingers in all the pies while conservatives tend to be so individualistic that every man is a castle and castles don't collectivize. There's something inherent in leftist ideology that is group-oriented and urges ideological conformity within that group.
And Ilhan Omar was attacked last night. She was giving a town hall and talking about how DHS Secretary Kristi Noem needs to resign or be impeached when a man hopped up from the front row and sprayed her with some liquid of some kind, which was said to be foul-smelling. The news broke when we were live on air and each of us on the panel was horrified that this happened and concerned for her safety. The liquid, whatever it was, seems to have been non-harmful, and my first thought was that it could be an acid attack, so I'm glad it wasn't that.
Omar continued with her speech, though she was shaking. To her credit, she did not back down. The suspect has been arrested and faces charges of third-degree assault. Anthony James Kazmierczak got up from his chair and yelled "you must resign!" Although it's hard to hear what he said for sure. My guess is local judges won't be quick to let him off the hook, no matter how much they claim to believe in restorative justice and compassion for criminals.
Author Tiffany Cross shared her view on CNN, saying that ICE agents are actually undercover Proud Boys and white supremacists and that ICE is a militia. "They certainly mirror the Gestapo," she said. She claimed they have "white supremacist tattoos on their necks." When Kevin O'Leary tried to push back, telling her she was "way, way offside," she told him he was "a member of a cult."
