ICE shoots a Colombian national in Maine just days after shooting a Mexican national in Texas. And Democrats still do not understand how conservatives think about illegal immigration. We will get into the details, our real motives, our real thoughts. Then singer Dua Lipa launches a library of banned books that includes the most officially, formally promoted books in the entire world. That always seems to happen. Lindsey Graham's sister takes over her brother's Senate seat. And last but not least, the US now controls the Strait of Hormuz in the new Iran War. I'm Michael Knowles, this is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show. So much going on. President Trump has a big speech that's coming up on Thursday. People think it might upend elections from six years ago, might kick senators out of the Senate. Also, Miley Cyrus is befuddled and shocked that no one wanted to date her when she was sharing her sexual expression with the world. This clip is going viral now. It's on Monica Lewinsky's podcast, and it's a really important lesson, especially for the Zoomers who are having trouble out there in the dating world. I hear it all the time from my hip cool young Zoomer friends. We will get to that in a moment. First, I want to tell you about PureTalk. Go to puretalk.com/knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. Every once in a while, a deal comes along that's so good, your first instinct is to assume you misunderstood it. I had exactly that reaction when I saw what PureTalk is doing. For the first time ever, they are offering any plan, any plan for just $15 a month for your first three months. Not just the entry level plan, not just one special plan they hope you'll overlook, any plan including their unlimited high speed data plans, including their top tier plan, $15 a month. Sweet little Elise and I were in New York the other day. She went in to get a coffee at a Starbucks, the coffee was $9.
That takes you almost two thirds of the way to a month of the top tier plan at PureTalk, which is the best wireless company with the best service and the best customer service and the best people who support the best causes. It's great. It's a wonderful company, veteran led, backed by 100% US based customer service. You will understand the people on the phone. This is a short term offer. Even the regular prices are unbelievably good, but $15 a month. This is next level. Switch to PureTalk and enjoy your first three months of talk, text and data for $15 a month. puretalk.com/knowles to make the switch. That is puretalk.com/knowles to start saving. The biggest story is this ICE shooting in Maine. At 7 a.m. yesterday in Biddeford, Maine, ICE immigration officers shoot and kill a guy. He was a Colombian national who was in America. They shoot and kill him in Maine. That's basically all you're going to hear about this story from the establishment media. What they will not tell you is that the ICE officer shot and killed the Colombian national as he was allegedly driving in the direction of the officer. We saw that exact situation play out in Minnesota during the ICE raids last year. So there's an investigation going on. It doesn't seem like there was a lot of camera footage or body cams in this case, which is good for the libs. You know, the libs want to pretend that when there's no body camera footage, it's because something egregious occurred on the part of the officers. And this is the fascist right-wing state oppressing the poor, helpless, marginalized communities. But that's not really what happens. You'll recall that the libs about 10 years ago made this big push for body cameras on cops. And then the moment that happened, the moment they got the body cameras on cops, they realized that the cops are in the right statistically 100% of the time. And that all of the supposedly, you know, oppressed, victimized perpetrators, they were basically always in the wrong, and the cops, if anything, were too restrained. So you're going to see a lot, a lot more out of this ICE shooting in Maine. What's strange, it's not really strange when you analyze it, but what seems strange at first glance is that the ICE-involved shooting in Maine comes just days after another ICE-involved shooting in Texas, one that you probably didn't even hear that much about, if you heard about it at all. Why is that? Why are you hearing so much about the ICE-involved shooting in Maine, where you have a foreign national who is accused of driving his car at police officers, who was killed almost the exact same circumstances in both cases, the person who was killed was not the target of the ICE raid himself. Why did you hear about the one in Maine, but not the one in Texas? Because Maine is in play. Maine is a really hot seat that is in play. Democrats are trying to unseat Susan Collins. They had the Nazi rapist, allegedly, Graham Plattner, who was their candidate until a few days ago, and finally he was removed. But they think they can take that seat. Whereas in Texas, they're going to have a hard time, even though they're putting some resources behind James Tallarico, the allegedly straight, allegedly male, allegedly Christian, Democrat nominee for Senate there. That's probably not going to happen. So once again, for people who are analyzing this, who are just kind of normies, centrists, they're not all that ideological, just recognize you are being played by the liberal media. You are being played by the Democrat establishment. It's not that the incident in Maine was so much more egregious than the incident in Texas. They're basically the same incident. It's just the Democrats think they can win in Maine, and they probably can't win in Texas. It's the same thing we saw last year when there were ICE raids around the country, but the only one that people ever heard about was in Minnesota. And the reason they heard about it in Minnesota was not because ICE was especially super duper mean in Minnesota. The reason they heard about it in Minnesota is because the Democrats who run Minnesota and who run Minneapolis, in a state so liberal, it's the only one that didn't vote for Ronald Reagan in 1984, those Democrats made it an issue. They cynically exploited it as a political issue. And this gets me to my main point on how conservatives should think about these ICE-involved shootings. Because I know there's going to be this knee-jerk reaction to say, well, this is awesome. That's what you get.
