These penguins are all headed. to the open water to the right. But one of them caught our eye, the one in the center. He would neither go towards the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice, nor return to the colony. Instead, he started to walk to Minneapolis, some 3,000 miles away. He was an ice protester with no brain.

The biggest problem facing the anti-ice protestant. protesters, really they're more agitators, operatives. The biggest problem they face is what I call Marvel movie mentality. Their view of the world is entirely out of comic books, like cheap, bad comic book stories. So they see a cop through a flashbang. They're going to go grab it and pick it up and hurl it, you know, into the bad guy's headquarters or whatever. Think fast, chuckle nuts. And so when they try to pull those pranks and stunts in reality, It doesn't always work out. Take it away.

First thing I got to ask, are these all real? I've seen AI versions of these things going around. Are these all real or is this slop that you people have found on like Instagram or something? The pepper spray is so great because it's so silly looking. It's like these cops, they don't even want to hurt these guys. They're just making such a nuisance of themselves. And they're so divorced from reality that even just a, little spray, just a little

psh, we'll wake them up. It's like smelling salts almost. It's like smelling salts if you fall in asleep. It's like that for these people whose brains have fallen asleep. Next one. Oh, this one's real. I've seen this one.

I love how it's the guy, well, I was going to say the guy in the hoodie. The other guy in the hoodie, he's like holding him back. So this jerk starts, the guy in the green hoodie, starts making problems with the cops. Cops are like, whatever.

Just like explodes a paintball. or whatever that is in his face. It looks like it's that Indian festival of Diwali throwing colors everywhere. And then the guy starts walking right. And then his friend, you know, he's kind of holding him back. It's like, yeah, hold me back. Yeah, hold me back.

What are you going to do? Hold me back. Yeah, you should have seen what I would have done. Had you not been holding me back what I would have done to that guy? Don't hold me back. Don't hold me back. Oh, okay. And go for it.

Would a, well, in this conditional statement, oh, boy, I would have been. No, you're going to do nothing. You better thank that guy. You say, thank you for blowing that ball of color up in my face because at least it wasn't lead, which when you start fighting with cops, eventually you can expect to get.

Okay, next one. There's a lot more to say first, though, go to hallow.com slash knolls. We are here, can you believe it, almost at Lent. I still have my Christmas decorations up because we're not quite at candlest yet, but then right around the corner is going to be Lent. Beginning this Ash Wednesday,

Our sponsor, Hallow, is inviting you to take Lent seriously with Pray 40, the Return, a 40-day journey of daily prayer leading up to Easter, featuring Jonathan Rumi, Father Mike Schmitz, Sister Miriam James, Jeff Kavins, Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt, and others. Lent is the church's annual reminder that self-mastery matters, that virtue requires discipline, and that becoming who God intends us to be means removing the things, habits, distractions, comforts that stand in the way. Through prayer, fasting, and self-giving, we make room for God's mercy, grace, and love.

to actually do their work. At the center of Pray 40, the Return is one of the most profound stories ever told, the parable of the prodigal son. A reminder that no matter how far someone falls, redemption remains possible. This year's challenge also draws inspiration from the brothers Karamazov, a serious meditation on belief and doubt, guilt and forgiveness, and the moral responsibility we bear toward one another. Throughout Lent, Jonathan Rumi and Sister Miriam James will guide daily prayer and meditation. Fridays include fasting, challenges, and Saturdays feature thoughtful faith conversations. Sundays bring homilies from Father Mike Schmitz. Lent does not demand grand gestures. It asks for seriousness. Right now, go to hallow.com slash knolls take part in Hallow's Lent Challenge.

Pray 40, the return is for you. I like to have to clarify liberal furry. Not one of those traditionalist furies. Not a Berkian furry, a conservative furry. No, this is a liberal furry. The worst part of the video is the furry probably liked it. right. These guys who have these weird sexual hangups. Oh, no. Well, I guess that explains most of the anti-I stuff. All of these women, these middle-aged, liberal white women rolling up just like, hey, cop, yeah. What, you want to, you want to arrest me? What do you want to throw me around or something, cop? Oh, I bet you'd love that, wouldn't you? Ma'am, can you just please move along? Yeah. You probably want to fling this door open right now,

I don't. I don't actually want to do any of that, please. Can you just please move along? So you got that. Then you got the guys who have all sorts of hangups. And then you got the furries, too. He ran right in front of my truck. Woke up that day, he said, you know what? I'm about to get tackled by some cops. Okay. Next one. I like that even as they pull back. He's like, hey, hold on. Before we pull back, before we roll back to go get a burger, just one second.

I'm going to start carrying those. Is that pepper spray? They're not reacting in pain, so I wonder it doesn't seem like it is. Maybe it's something less painful. I don't know. Okay, next one. I am going to bet that that guy did not get killed. However you feel about that is, I bet that guy is still alive today.

I do love, though, that he realized how awful his own side is. His own side is they're just filming. They're filming the cops. They're monitoring the situation. We're filming. We're filming. He's like, why won't you help me? It's like, we're because we're too busy filming you.

Why? Please help me. I think I'm going to die. Yeah. Right. And that's going to be great content. Sorry, you got to serve the revolution, buddy. Got to build up.

No, you people are horrible. Yeah. Yes, we are. We are. You probably should side with ice. They're the good guys. Okay, next one. If you sorry, suckin' sons of a

that think that you're just going to go and arrest a bunch of protesters because they're out there doing something you're too afraid to fucking do. They're out there fighting for our freedom and they're out there fighting for our right for free speech because you, all 2,000 of you national guardsmen, you brave ass fucking soldiers,

you think you're going to march in those streets and tell those people to shut the fuck up? That is what you decided to fight for. You chose to defend us against all enemies foreign and domestic and you failed. And that's why they're out there on those streets. So who the for you to tell them to shut the fuck up? Why don't you grow a pair, take off your mask and tell me your fucking name. Because my name is Alex and I say you. I was just waiting for the pepper spray to come in from the passenger side window. And tell me your fucking dead.

That is, that would have made that video so much better. But I knew off the top because, you know, I'm a scientist. I'm an honorary doctor, actually. But I'm a scientist, an amateur scientist, and I did an investigation. And it turns out that 100% of women with septum piercings are totally crazy. 100% totally nuts and probably hate their dads. So I did, I was not surprised by any of that. I just wish ICE had shown up like,
