Speaker 1: the show.

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Is over today.

00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: Remember if you haven't updated the iHeartRadio app recently.

Speaker 2: What are you doing. It's going to your apps, update them.

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm one of those individuals that can't have the notifications.

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: I've got to get everything clear, and that includes in

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: the app store when I have to update the app.

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: So update the app.

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: They're always making improvements to enhance your listening enjoyment, and

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: be sure to take advantage of the preset function on

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: the on the app as well.

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: So let's do what we've been doing all morning long.

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: If you're just now joining the show, let's give you

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: a quick recap on why so many people are freaking

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: out about last night.

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be. None of this is all that surprising.

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: I understand the concern that people that people have, and

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm concerned as as well. But I also believe that

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: everything happens for a reason, and there are opportunities to

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: be gained when individuals decided to go and throw their

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: support behind you know, communists, which is essentially what happened

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: yesterday in Zohron. Mom Donnie's win for those that missed

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 1: it earlier this morning.

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: After all, the conventional wisdom would tell you that I

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: my best efforts to grow older, I am Muslim, Democratic socialists, and.

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Most damning of all, I.

35
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: Refuse to apologize for any of this.

36
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: So this is how liberty dies.

37
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: With a nurse applause.

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: He could have said anything relating to that in the moment,

39
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: they still would have cheered.

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: I'm a Marxist. They all would have cheered. I'm a Commie.

41
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: They would have cheered.

42
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: You did have Democrats winning across the board, largely, you know,

43
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: sweeping largely as expected the races in New Jersey, Virginia,

44
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: New York City. The distance on some of these was

45
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: more so than what many people had predicted, but none

46
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: of it was all that surprising.

47
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: Here in Minneapolis.

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: And Saint Paul, one of the ships Coholy Hurr being

49
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: elected as Saint Paul mayor over Carter on a second

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: round of voting.

51
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: In ranked choice of voting.

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: After the first round tally, Jacob Fry leads the Minneapolis

53
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: mayoral candidates. However, the tally on the second vote isn't

54
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: taking place apparently until later on this afternoon. This is

55
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: the ridiculousness of ranked to choice voting and.

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: The quick recap on this.

57
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: I did this at length in the first hour because

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: it's really confusing, and it's designed to be confusing intentionally.

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: This is why Democrats love ranked choice voting. In Minneapolis,

60
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: you can rank three different candidates. In Saint Paul, you

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: can rank as many as six, So you go for

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: the first ballot, and if the top vote getter in

63
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: terms of percentages doesn't get past fifty point one, then

64
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: they go to a second vote, wherein the bottom least

65
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: wise in terms of votes received, candidate gets dropped. When

66
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: you have six, you have more to choose from, and

67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: then they go to people's second choices. So omar Fate

68
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: would essentially have to absorb the remaining of the votes

69
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: for those individuals that ranked him second or third, they

70
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: would have to go to him over Jacob Fry in

71
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: order for him to win. If that happened, more than likely,

72
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: it would mean that Omar Fate would end up winning

73
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: the mayor's race in Minneapolis without having the minority of

74
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: the votes, which is what makes this so abundantly stupid. Now,

75
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: regarding the elections overall, Trumpet said that Republicans didn't make

76
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: as many gains as they did because the shutdown is continuing.

77
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: I think it was a part of that the Democrats

78
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: tapped into the anger of their base. They poured millions

79
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: upon millions of dollars into these races, and they're all

80
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: very unique to their individual regions.

81
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: I want to share this with you.

82
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen revealed that Chuck Schumer was holding

83
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: back room meetings demanding Democrat senators wait until after the

84
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: election to go and open the government back up.

85
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: Senate Democrat that said, quote, we feel like now after

86
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 4: the No Kings rally, we are neck is simply in

87
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: a guillotine or guillotine and now they got to wait

88
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: until after the election. That last week, Liz, I know Dick,

89
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 4: Dick Durbin wanted to break with the Democrats and reopen

90
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 4: the government. Chuck Schumer, in a private meeting with other

91
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: Democrats Democrat senators, said that if you'll just wait till

92
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 4: after the election, I'll release the handcuffs. I added the

93
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: handcuff partment, basically on paraphrasing what he said. The reason

94
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 4: why is because they're afraid their base wouldn't show up

95
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: today in Virginia, New Jersey and in New York. So

96
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: it's been about politics. It's never been about policy. It's

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 4: been about holding the American people as leverage points, regardless

98
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: of the damage they caused to the livelihood of these individuals.

99
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: But elections are more important than the Dems because why

100
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: they know, their polls is at the very bottom than

101
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: it's ever been for the Democrat Party.

102
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: Again, that was Senator Mullen on Fox News yesterday. Trump

103
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: did say yesterday that the SNAP benefits would not be

104
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: distributed until Congress ends the federal government shutdown. So it

105
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: will be interesting to see and we have more to

106
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: talk about with SNAP here in just a moment on

107
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talk. It will be interesting that we'll

108
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: see what the Democrats do because right now, keeping the

109
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: government shutdown is not going to benefit them in any way.

110
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: There's no other deadlines or major events coming up to

111
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: go and focus on. That being said, they also don't

112
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: really have an argument to go and open the back

113
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: up right now, seeing that there is evidence that the

114
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: shutdown may have benefited them over elections that were more than.

115
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Likely going to go that way anyways.

116
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: For me, all of it underscores what I've been saying

117
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: on the show all along, and that is moving forward,

118
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: there is no bargaining with Democrats, especially when you look

119
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: at what happened in New York City, the fact that

120
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: they elected Jay Jones contributing to the assassination culture that

121
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: exists in this country. Democrats just didn't even care that

122
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: he threatened the lives of political opponents. And on top

123
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: of that, this is an example of your base Democrat

124
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: voter that Republican candidates are up against.

125
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: Justice show from Ian Prairie Man, you guys just continue

126
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 5: and selt Democrats and soult the voters. I really know

127
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: who we voted for. While we're voting for this person,

128
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: why do you vote for Trump?

129
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: Well, he gave me a stuper red hat in sid Mago.

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 5: Yes, that sounds get with a program now you guys

131
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 5: ventured bus Hamate and live with it.

132
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Those were all elections that were going to go to Democrats,

133
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and in New York City it was Democrats running against Democrats.

134
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: But that's what you're up against in terms of your

135
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Democrat voter, which is why there's no reason to engage

136
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: with them. There's no reason to assume any Democrats are

137
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: ever going to go and cross over to vote for

138
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: a Republican. So go with that mentality heading into next

139
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: year's election and focus on generating excitement for the base

140
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: for an election where Trump is not going to be

141
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: on the ballot, and get as many people voting who

142
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: can vote as Republicans as possible from the local level

143
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: all the way up to the national races. That needs

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: to be the singular focus, because you're not going to

145
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: reason with individuals like Phil from Eden Prairie follow the show.

146
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Phil is a perfect representation of the average Democrat voter.

147
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, it's nonsensical, it's hypocritical. There's nothing critical in

148
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: terms of the commentary at all. It's just that us

149
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: versus them. I voted for Trump because I want secure borders.

150
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: I voted for Trump because I want to rein in

151
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: some of the waste that's taking place in DC. I

152
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: voted for Trump to take care of the fact that

153
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats went and allowed millions upon millions of individuals

154
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: to break the law entering this country and are desperate

155
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: to go and turn them into future Democrat voters. I

156
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: voted for Trump so that he could do everything in

157
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: his power to rid schools of dangerous DEI and critical

158
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: race theory. The list goes on and on and on,

159
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: and just to add a finer point on Phil's ridiculous

160
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: assertion there, I don't even have a red Trump hat.

161
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Might is white and gold. Just want to point that out.

162
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: A few more points on the mayoral race.

163
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: And then, speaking of Snap, are we looking at a

164
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: new fraud scandal that's about to erupt over Snap benefits

165
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: in Minnesota?

166
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: That may be the case.

167
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Representative Pam Altendorf has discovered a rather interesting anomaly relating

168
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: to the Snap benefits and the increase over the course

169
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: of the past few years. I'll bring you details and

182
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,880

189
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 6: You're gonna have flag burning or whatever because he knows

190
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 6: there's a hell of a lot of flags with his picture.

191
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: On it that are going to get burned.

192
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: There are. They have what's called the Trump derangement problem.

193
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: Have you heard about that problem? I think I've ever

194
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: addressed that, but I always thought it was a weird

195
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: line from Walls.

196
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: What what flags have Trump's face on them. I mean,

197
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: it's not a think t shirts what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania,

198
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: but not.

199
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: Flags. That doesn't really matter.

200
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty one oh three

201

Speaker 1: five FM from the six five to one Carpet Next

202
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: Day Install studios. As we continue our post mortem on

203
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: last night's elections, Dot, you have.

204
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 8: A good point about the voters coming to the polls

205
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 8: this election. You mentioned a lot of things that why

206
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 8: you voted for Trump. Well, a lot of souls things

207
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 8: are happening. So a lot of Republicans, a lot of

208
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 8: conservatives aren't motivated to get to the polls because it's

209
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 8: going our way. However, the left is losing, right, of course,

210
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 8: they're going to be motivated to get to pulls, to

211
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 8: hold on to some semblance of their crappy party.

212
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

213
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: No, you're absolutely right, Absolutely right. I'll add this to

214
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: the list of reasons why I voted for Trump. Here's

215
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt yesterday during the White House Press briefing.

216
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 9: And optimistic that the Supreme Court is going to do

217
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 9: the right thing. The importance of this case cannot be overstated.

218
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 9: The president must have the emergency authority to utilize tariffs.

219
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 9: Look at what President Trump has been able to do

220
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 9: with the leverage and the power of tariffs. He's been

221
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 9: able to sign peace deals all over the world and

222
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 9: end global conflicts and literally save lives. He's been able

223
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 9: to bring in trillions of dollars of investments into our country.

224
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 9: In fact, this year alone, we are going to cut

225
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 9: the deficit by six hundred billion dollars, namely because of

226
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 9: the President's effective use of tariffs. And the President strongly

227
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 9: believes that economic security is a matter of national security

228
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 9: and tariffs have a lot to do with that. And

229
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 9: this case is not just about President Trump. It's about

230
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 9: the use of this emergency authorization for tariffs for future

231
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 9: presidents and administrations to come. And we're confident and hopeful

232
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 9: that the Supreme Court will do the right thing.

233
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: So no one won a majority of votes. Just really quick,

234
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with a Liz Collin from Alpha

235
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: News on a couple of different issues, including the former

236
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: Minneapolis police officer To Tao being released from prison on Monday,

237
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: but no one winning the majority of votes in the

238
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: mayoral race, delaying the final result until more tabulation is completed.

239
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Under the city's rank choice voting system. I don't know

240
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: why this is taking so long. I don't trust it,

241
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. First round of voting

242
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: unofficially Jacob Fry forty two percent, Fate thirty two, Duayne

243
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Davis fourteen, Jazz Hampton ten.

244
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: So Hampton gets removed.

245
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: They retabulate based off of the other choices. The candidates

246
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: with the fewest votes eliminated. Voter second choices then apportioned.

247
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: The process continues until a candidate has a majority, or

248
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: until the furthest left Democrat is elected. University of Minnesota

249
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: student To Bailey will just leave it at Bailey, a

250
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: global political science major, Nicky Town resident, ranked Fry first

251
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: on his ballad because of the mayor's approach to crime.

252
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Okay Taylor's dual citizen us and UK hates that people

253
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: can't enjoy his home city of London because of crime.

254
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to see the same thing before Minneapolis.

255
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: At Bryant Square Park in Uptown, Madeline twenty six, a

256
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: nurse at m Health Fairview, said that her health insurance

257
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: costs have gone up in the past year and voted

258
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: for Fate without ranking other candidates in hopes of improving

259
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: afforda ability. It all ties to big business, says Madeline CEOs,

260
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of money not trickling down to people

261
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: that are actually in the hospital working. It's so clueless.

262
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: What does she expect that Fonte is going to do

263
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: about that very issue. He doesn't have that kind of power.

264
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: That's not how this works. But this is what motivates

265
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: individuals to go and vote for Democrats. Look at all

266
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: this free stuff. Here's all these problems. If you elect me,

267
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: I will be concerned about them too. I can't fix them,

268
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: but I'll be concerned about them with you. Here's all

269
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: this free stuff I'll give you. Well, can you actually

270
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: give me that free stuff?

271
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

272
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: We'll find out once you elect me into office. It's

273
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: very akin to Pelosi, and we have to pass it

274
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: before we see what's in it.

275
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: So there was a bit of good news.

276
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: Katie Cashman, who was endorsed by leftist actor Jane Fonda, lost. Oh,

277
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: I guess we answered the question of whether or not

278
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda's endorsement still carry some weight.

279
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: Most young people wouldn't even know Jane Fonda.

280
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Is Elizabeth Schaeffer, who is much more pragmatic focused on

281
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: hiring more cops and clearing encampments did win. That being said,

282
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: all for candidates who were endorsed by the Democrats, Socialists

283
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: of America won their elections in the Minneapolis City Council.

284
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: So let's not all get too excited. Liz Colin from

00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: that six' one half a dozen the other relating too,

316
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: who ends up pulling this out? Between Jacob Fry and

317
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: Omar Fat and as as I've been describing it this morning,

318
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: is it the jog towards you know, economic you know

319
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: and and more crime or is it the sprint And

320
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: there's some that feel like we should sprint there in

321
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: order to get the change, And I see it. I'm

322
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: still sort of im too much of an optimist, I guessed,

323
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: and I guess and don't want Fat to end up

324
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: winning this.

325
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 2: Do you think he's going to what are you? What

326
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: are your what are your people telling? Liz Colin from

327
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: alfhe News.

328
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, all of my people do. I have full people.

329
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 7: I'm waiting for them. But no, we've been just talking

330
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 7: about it in the newsroom. I mean, it seems like

331
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 7: there's obviously still a chance. And again, this is the

332
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 7: design of the rank choice voting, right, and they did

333
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 7: kind of go in with this plan on how to rank.

334
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 7: It's if we didn't see Jacob Fry and then the

335
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 7: number one slot in the beginning, that could signal that

336
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 7: omar FTA still, you know, has the votes to take over.

337
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 7: I think maybe we'll know today, but it's something they

338
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 7: could even drag on until tomorrow.

339
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.

340
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 7: So we shall see. But I honestly feel like we've

341
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 7: been on a sprint these last five years, don't I

342
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 7: don't know.

343
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm a slow runner anyway.

344
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, I know often news covered I mean

345
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: this week alone, let's talk a little bit about this

346
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: before we move on to some other stories from Alpha News.

347
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: But you know, we had three deadly shooting in as

348
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: many days, and this doesn't even include what I was

349
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: covering on Friday with the individual that was show when

350
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: somebody was trying to break into his car in front

351
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: of his business, right, or does that included in this

352
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: as well?

353
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: Are these new Yeah.

354
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, that does include it. But there are three homicides

355
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 7: in four days. It is crazy, but we wanted to

356
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 7: take kind of a deep dive of where we are

357
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 7: for the year. But so, yeah, we have a horrific

358
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 7: shooting that takes place at the workplace right on a

359
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 7: Thursday morning, a guy interrupting somebody rifling through his car.

360
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 7: He's shot and killed. Then you have the Dinky Town

361
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 7: incident and it sounds like there was a U student

362
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 7: sort of caught in the crossfire and injured in that,

363
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 7: but that was a fatal as well for another young man.

364
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 7: And then the juveniles and that was a Sunday and

365
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 7: that killed one of them and a juvenile was arrested

366
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 7: as well. So that's three in four days. And then

367
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 7: it looks like now as of as of now, it's

368
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 7: fifty five homicides in Minneapolis this year.

369
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: But you know, you have the local.

370
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 7: Media that said, is hey, but you know they had

371
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 7: sixty six at this time last year. Well, the real

372
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 7: number to look at is pre George Floyd, and that

373
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 7: is when they had thirty seven homicides through the same period.

374
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: So I guess this is now just acceptable to basically

375
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 7: have twice as many people murdered in Minneapolis the world

376
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 7: that we live in, because this is the right side

377
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 7: of history that we told, you know, we were told

378
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 7: that we'd be living in john So and.

379
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: There weren't you know, there weren't good options to really

380
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: go and turn things around. I know that people were

381
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: trying to look at one one bright spot with that

382
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 1: one council candidate that seemed to be concerned with crime

383
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: that beat out the one who typically aligned with the

384
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: DSA members.

385
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: But all of the DSA members got re elected.

386
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, it looks like we're facing we're facing status quo.

387
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.

388
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, unfortunate is right. But well, we have a lot

389
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 7: of election results and larger stories being coasted this morning

390
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 7: on Elphinews, including the SunNet races, school board races. There

391
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 7: were some bright spots there, so we'll continue to have

392
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 7: election results there at alfinows dot org.

393
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: So for Minneapolis police officer Toutao was expected to be

394
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: released from prison on Monday.

395
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: Was he released, Is he back home? Now with his family.

396
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, she was really great. I was able to speak

397
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 7: with him yesterday on the phone. You know, even talking

398
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 7: to him, I said, it's a stupid question. How are you?

399
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 7: I don't you know? Where do we? Where do we

400
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 7: start here? But yes, he's he's back home with his family.

401
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 7: Released on Monday from a federal facility in Kentucky. Just

402
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 7: remind your listeners, he was given many more months than

403
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 7: the then Alexander King and Thomas Lane because he recited

404
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 7: Bible verses and didn't show remorse, and Judge Peter T.

405
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 7: Hill did not like that and basically gave him an

406
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 7: extra year in prison due to that, which which occurred

407
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 7: at his sentencing. So we've been speaking with him and

408
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 7: following the case all of the fall of Minneapolis dot Com.

409
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 7: I don't really know what's next for him. He's on parole,

410
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 7: just like these other guys, are a lifelong felon, and

411
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 7: he though sounds like he's, you know, wanting to fight

412
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 7: and we shall see. You know, we need drastic changes

413
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 7: in leadership in Minnesota. That's probably no secret to any

414
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 7: of your smart listeners either. If anything were to change

415
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 7: to grant these guys a pardon or do something about

416
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 7: their sentences.

417
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking at looking at the story Liz

418
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: from Alpha News and the quote from him. I've missed birthdays, Christmas.

419
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: I don't even know how tall they are anymore, he

420
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: said of his children. And difficult to miss parts of

421
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: the childhood and never get it back, all because people

422
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: want to get promotions, publicity and uh and make money.

423
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: And I just I can't even fathom what it must

424
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: have been like when he had the additional months placed

425
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: on his sentence after Cahill went and did that. And

426
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: it's still every time we every time we bring it up,

427
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: and you bring it up, Liz, I just I just

428
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: shake my head. It's just it's it's unbelievable that that

429
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: happen and yet it and yet it did.

430
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he he.

431
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 7: Talks candidly about you know, but for Derek being born white,

432
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 7: they'd all still be playing police officers in Minneapolis. But

433
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 7: he brings really some some interesting perspective to all of this,

434
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 7: and and uh, you know, really has spoke spoken out

435
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 7: since and I don't think, you know, we would have

436
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 7: known a lot of the details that these guys weren't

437
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 7: willing to speak out.

438
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this one exclusive to Alpha News. A

439
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: Saint Paul mother said that she was stunned to get

440
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: an email from a staff member at her daughter's school,

441
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: not about grades or even about her behavior, but how

442
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: the girl described a staff member's made up scenario of

443
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: two boys kissing. Talk about what transpired, and yet just

444
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: another blight on our uh on our education syst and

445
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: what's ak place with this daughter and her mother.

446
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was applaud to these parents for coming forward

447
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 7: and sending us tips about what's happening in the classroom,

448
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 7: because I think many of us would would not know otherwise.

449
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 7: But this is just a bizarre. So this happened at

450
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 7: Johnson High School in Saint Paul's. There's a social worker

451
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 7: teaching this woman's sixteen year old daughter and they're sending

452
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 7: up scenarios about relationships, and one of them is a

453
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 7: scenario of two men kissing, and this girl you have

454
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 7: to basically labeled the scenario unhealthy or healthy. The whole

455
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: thing is just so strange that this is what's happening

456
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 7: in school, and this girl in turn labels this unhealthy

457
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 7: two men kissing, has a problem with this as a

458
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 7: young girl. And so instead of just moving on to

459
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 7: the assignment. The social worker actually goes and writes a

460
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 7: letter home to basically say that she objected to this

461
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 7: labeling and that this girl is going to alienate her peers,

462
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 7: that this is what she thinks about two men kissing,

463
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 7: and she really wants her to, you know, kind of

464
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 7: do well in life, and so send a letter home.

465
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 7: Can you even imagine? Imagine? And this parent then pushes

466
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: back as for some meetings with staff and whatnot. This

467
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 7: social worker now is no longer working with her daughter.

468
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 7: But then in turn, in this meeting, there was another

469
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 7: school official that basically made a remark to this parent

470
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 7: to say, oh, we actually have a lot of extreme

471
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 7: Christian views, extreme Christian views in this school as well

472
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 7: at Johnson High School. So she talked to us about that.

473
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 7: And this parent had already gone through great lengths and

474
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 7: you know, filled out the paperwork you can opt out

475
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 7: of LGBTQ content, which takes some bravery sometimes for parents

476
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 7: to do this and just you know, opt your children out.

477
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 7: And then they had opted out anyway, and this took place,

478
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 7: and it resulted in a letter home because of what

479
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 7: this this girl said. But it was absolutely bizarre.

480
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the social worker trying to accomplish with us.

481
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: Anyways, I'm looking at the story and you know, as

482
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Liz Collins, students were expected to identify healthy

483
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: and unhealthy traits within the social scenario as part of

484
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: a lesson on consent in a relationship.

485
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 2: Well, if you're.

486
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: Asking their opinion and you're gonna go with jazz for

487
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: their opinion, that's on you, a social worker, lady.

488
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 7: I just yeah, and that's what this this mom said.

489
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 7: She's like, why is this even you know, why is

490
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 7: this lesson being taught in the first place. I mean,

491
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 7: there would be a lot of ways of going. Yeah,

492
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 7: a lot of questions, but you can read.

493
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: All about that.

494
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 7: Elvian News got arg.

495
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: And just lastly, really quick, I know you took the

496
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: past few weeks off. You did go to Seapac though.

497
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 7: It's only gone for two weeks. You make it seem

498
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 7: like I was just, uh, you know, you had asked

499
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 7: to talk to Hank for a while.

500
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: It's political theater, Liz. It's been you know, two weeks

501
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: is a weeks is a long time.

502
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I just I'm trying to I

503
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: try to embrace you know how quickly time flies, and

504
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to embrace it.

505
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: And you know you were missed. So I'm just trying

506
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: to make.

507
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 7: You think about the Burger review.

508
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: Is that I Well, I wasn't going to today you

509
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: brought it up, but I wanted to talk about your

510
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: your your wonderful Sea Pack of visit.

511
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: Did you go to do?

512
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 6: Uh?

513
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: Is was this in DC? Is that where this was

514
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: or someplace else? Yeah?

515
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a It was a great, great visit,

516
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 7: really great opportunity. It was a summit organized by Sea

517
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 7: Pack and you heard a lot about Christian persecution all

518
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 7: across the globe. Obviously we know what's happening in Nigeria, Syria.

519
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 7: Sort of a lot of different speakers. I was kind

520
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 7: of more on the domestic side talking about anti Christian

521
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 7: legislation that was seen in Minnesota. There was quite a

522
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 7: bit to talk about there. But was able to meet

523
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 7: with Sebastian Gorka, who's an advisor for President Trump. President Trump,

524
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 7: interestingly enough, is the very first president to have a

525
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 7: faith office. This was established in his second presidency. And

526
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 7: heard from Jenny Korn, who heads up that office. That

527
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 7: thought was, Hey, do you guys just all get together

528
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 7: and pray every day. There's there's lots to be praying about,

529
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 7: but there's actually really an effort by President Trump and

530
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 7: his team to do something about this Christian persecution, whether

531
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 7: it is in other countries or what we see, you know,

532
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 7: in the US, whether it's going after you know, pro

533
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: life protests. We saw that under the Biden administration, whatever

534
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 7: happened after January sixth, with the roundup of conservative many

535
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 7: conservative Christians, et cetera.

536
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: So really a great.

537
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 7: Opportunity and inspiring to see the work being done on

538
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 7: a global scale to protect Christians.

539
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: Liz Colin from ALFA News, thank you so much for

Speaker 1: Head on over to Alphanus Todd orchiteck it out. Thank you, Liz,

545
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: we'll talk well, hopefully not so much distance between the

546
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: next time we talk.

547
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us.

548
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 7: Thank you.

549
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's a couple things I want to wrap

550
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: up on. First off, just because I found it funny,

551
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: we're going to talk at link about the snap fraud.

552
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to bury it.

553
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you a few of the details here, but

554
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: really quick this story from Channel five. So construction on

555
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: the Bloon Line extension not expected to begin any sooner

556
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: than twenty twenty seven. Three point two billion dollar light

557
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: rail project. Well what did that get the taxpayers? You see,

558
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: the county has spent more than two hundred and six

559
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: million in taxpayer dollars already around the new line connecting

560
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park, because you know you can't get

561
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: there now right. In addition to traditional outreach, public meetings,

562
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: and social media posts, Hennepin County also spent thousands of

563
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: dollars on a dancing robot, yoga classes, and a life

564
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: sized puppet equipped with a video camera to record people

565
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: who look inside. Dan Sohler, director of Transit and Mobility

566
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: for Hennepin County, described the spending as an effort to

567
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: develop out of the box ideas, but the contracts uncovered

568
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: by Channel five are also prompting new criticism of the

569
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: mega project, already under intense scrutiny.

570
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: Here's an out of the box idea.

571
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: You killed the project, Just stop already just be done

572
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: with it tomorrow on the show an emerging fraud scandal,

573
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: So us DA Secretary Brook Rawlins on the very first

574
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: day told every state of her job, told every state

575
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: to send their SNAP data so they can make sure

576
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants aren't getting benefits meant for American families. You

577
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: had twenty nine states that agreed, twenty one blue states

578
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: refused to share their SNAP data, and two states two

579
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: states sued the federal government for even asking.

580
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: And guess what.

581
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: In the states that cooperated, they already uncovered massive amounts

582
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: of fraud now here. In Minnesota, one of the states

583
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: that did not offer up their data, Representative Pam Altendorf

584
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: did some digging and in that she found that Minnesota

585
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: SNAP issuances increased over the course of a few years

586
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy four percent. Meanwhile, the total recipients

587
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: only increased by twenty one percent and the state's population

588
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: by one point eight percent. As ak Kamara notes, and

589
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: he'll be in on Friday, how much of this is

590
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: fraud given that we've become the fraud capital in the

591
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: United States, nearing an estimated six billion. We'll cover more

592
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: of this coming up on tomorrow. If you missed any
