1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Pilla talks taxes.

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Actually looking at Dan Pilla's monthly tax and Financial bulletin

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: Right here, Dan Pilla, or tax Guru, joins us in studio.

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: Tax Help, Tax Help Online. Busy season for you this

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: time of a year, Dan.

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: Well, it is a busy season for me, but not

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: for the reason you'd think. Of course, the filing deadline

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: for extensions is October fifteenth. But John, I don't do

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: tax returns, all right. I do tax legation work and

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: help people with ongoing IRIS problems. But every October, and

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: this has been the case since the early nineties, I

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: produce a continuing legal education seminar for attorneys, accountants in

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 3: IRIS enrolled agents who need ongoing credits to maintain their

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: licensing right. So I produced this seminar for tax professionals

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: specifically on how to represent people before the IRS. It's

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: fourteen hours of CLEO for two days, and I write

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: the curriculum for the course and i'll present at this

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: year's seminar.

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: I'll present eleven of the fourteen hours. So it's a

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: lot of work for me to get ready for that seminar.

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: Well, let's run through.

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: We have several questions that rolled in for you, Dan Pill,

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and get to the iHeartRadio app talkbacks

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: brought to you by Lindall Realty.

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 5: Morney John, Dan, what's the privilege for the ex size

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 5: that will be that would be a fair tax or

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 5: national sales tax.

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: Well, we're not talking about a privilege here. I understand

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: where you're going with this, this idea that in order

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: for there to be an excise tax, there has to

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: be a privilege. But the fact of the matter is

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: that that really really gets way off into the weeds here, John,

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: on the nuances of the policy. But the fact of

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: the matter is that the constitutional provision for a direct

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: taxes that the tax has to be uniform, right, indirect taxes,

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: direct taxes have to be apportioned. Indirect tax have to

37
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: be uniform, and the sales tax is an indirect tax.

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: And so we got a uniform rate on all consumption

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: goods and services, and that in my opinion, passes constitutional muster.

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 6: On the question corning, gentlemen, this is Bill from White

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 6: peer Lake. I have a question on some hunting property

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 6: that is in part agricultural and how the best way

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 6: to get a tax reduction on that property in the

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 6: state of Minnesota.

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: Thank you.

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: Well, you're talking about you're talking about local real estate taxes.

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: What you got to do is contact the county officials

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: in the county where the property is located and find

49
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: out from them what the rules are. In Washington County,

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: for example, if you've got more than twenty twenty or

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: more acres that are being used agriculturally, then you get

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: the agricultural benefit for the real estate taxes agricultural use

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: and it's significantly reduced.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: Real estate taxes.

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: But I'm sure it's county by county, and so check

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: with your county officials on that.

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: I have an email that came in Justice atiheartradio dot com.

58
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Tara says creating a national sales tax will push people

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: to a barter system to avoid it.

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: It won't work.

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: You would have to eliminate all other taxes, state local

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: property taxes, and all other sales taxes. If you don't

63
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: to eliminate every other tax this is not a good idea.

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: Well, I think she's just dead wrong. The fact of

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: the matter is, in order to create a barter system,

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: you've got to have two willing partners in a barter,

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: all right, so when you walk into a grocery store

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: to buy groceries, or you walk into the.

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: They have to conspire.

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: Well, there's got to be not just a conspiracy, John,

72
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: but an illegal conspiracy. Okay, two people agreeing to an

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: illegal and which would be in.

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: This case, tax avoidance.

75
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is the literature for all

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: of the states that have income taxes, and I think

77
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: there's forty five or forty six states that have an

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: income tax, and there's only a half a dozen states

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: that don't have an in don't have an income tax,

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: that are operating under sales tax When you look at

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: the literature on tax compliance in the states that have

82
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: no income tax, that are relying solely on a sales

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: tax system, the incidents of evasion are significantly less under

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: a sales tax system sales tax model than an income

85
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: tax precisely because you need two people to conspire. And

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: when we're talking about transactions at a retail level, how

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 3: many retails or retailers are going to conspire with you, John,

88
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: to deal in cash. They have no incentive. The retailer

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: has no incentive. The incentive is with the purchaser, not

90
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: the seller.

91
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: She goes on to say, you can't predict how much

92
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: revenue you would get, and if it was more than

93
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: ten percent, people will find a way to avoid buying

94
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: things and go to a trade and barter. I don't

95
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: want you need to repeat your comments here, but you

96
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: can go ahead.

97
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: Well, but if it's more than ten percent, which is

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: an important point that the caller makes, right, because what

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: you have with excise taxes in this way is you've

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: got a built in component to access and so the

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: higher the tax gets, the more incentive you have for evasion.

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: Now I'm not saying invasion is simple. It's not.

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: But the fact is the higher the tax is, the

104
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: more incentive you have for invasion evasion which is a

105
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: built in incentive to keep the rate low.

106
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: And that's what we want to do.

107
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: We want to keep the rate as low as possible,

108
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: spread the base out as wide as we possibly can.

109
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: So that's why you have a consumption tax on all

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: retail goods and services. Right, you don't have exemptions, so

111
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 3: you can spread that base out. That keeps the rate low,

112
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: and that the that keeps the incentive for invasion for

113
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: evasion low.

114
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 7: Right, guys, Well, on the tax topic, if we went

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 7: to a retail tax. Do you think that they would

116
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 7: just start to the Democrats would want to structure like

117
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 7: higher priced items to be taxed higher or is that

118
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 7: would that be fair? Would that be a reasonable thing?

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 7: Like if you buy a car for one hundred, you

120
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 7: pay a much higher tax than the other flat tax.

121
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you can easily predict what the

122
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: Democrats will do.

123
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: Right.

124
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: First of all, they're going to oppose this nail, There's

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: no question about that. Because the income tax, more than

126
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: anything else, gives lawmakers control over the marketplace.

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: All Right.

128
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: When you look at all of these changes that we've

129
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: seen to the tax code over the last twenty five

130
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: or thirty years, most of these changes are about picking

131
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: winners and losers in the marketplace. All Right, Whatever industry

132
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: happens to be out of favor, then we penalize. We

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: use the tax laws to penalize behavior in that market.

134
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: Whatever business or industry happens to be in favor during

135
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: that particular time, we give them tax breaks an incentive.

136
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: So that's what they're using the income tax laws for.

137
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: As much as anything else, The national retail sales tax

138
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: and a uniform rate across the board takes away the

139
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: power of government to pick winners and losers in the marketplace.

140
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: So yes, the Dems will try to do that. And

141
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: I do not believe that it is that it is

142
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: moral to tax somebody at a greater rate simply because

143
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: they have more money. Listen, the fact of the matter is,

144
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: when you have a broad based retail sales tax at

145
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: a uniform rate, high income people naturally pay more taxes

146
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: because they spend more money. Right, the high income guy

147
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: buys the Mercedes Benz, the low income buy by the

148
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: low income guy buys the Geometro Right, and so the

149
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: low income guy naturally pays less tax. The high income

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: guy naturally pays more tax.

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

152
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: I always love the personal responsibility aspect of it and

153
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: how it really just levels the levels the playing field.

154
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: Let's go here, speaking of the national retail sales tax.

155
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I love everything Dan saying.

156
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 8: I agree that a national retail sales tax could be

157
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 8: the answer. I just as far as doing away with

158
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 8: the irs. One thing that Trump administration and Dose showed

159
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 8: us is that the bureaucracy, the bureaucratic state, will now

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 8: go quietly into that fair night. It will fight fight, fight,

161
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 8: And I just don't see it going away.

162
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: Well, he's one hundred percent right about that. The fact

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: of the matter is, we've got these federal employee unions, John,

164
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: and of course you know this, well there's a federal

165
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: employee union for treasury workers, right, and they are not

166
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: going to want to let this go. They're going to

167
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: take the position that all these people are so important

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: to the function of the United States, and how on

169
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: earth are we going to have a function without an

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: income tax? My god, you know, the buildings are going

171
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: to burn and the society is going to collapse, and

172
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: you can just imagine the vitriol that is going to

173
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: come out of the mouths of these people.

174
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: And we've seen it already. As I said, we debated this.

175
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: During the nineteen nineties, and that was one of the

176
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: one of the arguments that they were making is what

177
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: are we going to do with all the Irish employees?

178
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: And my god, these people need to earn their earn

179
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: their living. And you know which I found hilarious because

180
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: you know, as Milton Friedman said, I if your last

181
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: argument for the maintenance of a bureaucracy is the fact

182
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: that beercrafts are going to be out of work, you

183
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: have lost any justification for that bureaucracy in the first place,

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: and it should be gone.

185
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: Hey John, good morning Dan from Lake City.

186
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 9: Could you ask a guest the extensions of the no

187
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 9: tax on overtime and how they work and how they

188
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 9: all settled out.

189
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: Thanks your thoughts on that, Den.

190
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

191
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have the numbers right in front of me, unfortunately,

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: but I'll tell you this. The overtime, the overtime limitation

193
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: is capped, and I can't remember what the number is, John,

194
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: I believe it's twelve and a half thousand dollars of

195
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: overtime pay for an individual and twenty five thousand dollars

196
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: for a married couple. Of overtime, it has to be

197
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: specifically designated as overtime on your W two. Now, the

198
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: other thing that the IRS came out was speaking of

199
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: virus notices that they've issued last month, John, they issued

200
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: a notice that was about fifteen or sixteen pages long

201
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: on all of the services that can earn tax free

202
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: overtime pay. So, if you go to the iris's website

203
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: IRS dot gov and in their search box you put

204
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: in the notice on exempt overtime pay. You don't even

205
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: have to say notice, just look for exempt overtime pay

206
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: and you'll get the notice that shows you exactly what

207
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: those rules are and what type of pay specifically is

208
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: exempt under the law.

209
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: Dan Pilla our tax Gurum Tax help Online as always,

210
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: appreciate the time in the conversation.

211
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: Man's my pleasure.

212
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Man, thanks for having me, Thanks so much for so.

213
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: This has been a grand conspiracy.

214
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: John absolutely absolutely, and it was fantastic to conspire with you.

215
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: So we'll talk to you again real soon.

216
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: Coming up, we will get to Governor Tim Walls giving

217
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: details on his town halls to take a salt style

218
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: gun band to the people. Also, just a quick story

219
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: regarding law enforcement to end this week long effort that

220
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: they've been making on our roadways. I want to give

221
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: you some details on this and get some of your

222
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: thoughts from the iHeart Radio app. Coming up on Twin

00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: If you missed uh that reference, got to listen to

228
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: the first hour of the show today on the iHeartRadio

229
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: app and a little Freedom Friday preview. I want to

230
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: remind you that we all remember that one teacher in

231
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: our lives that made a difference, the one who challenged us,

232
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: believed in us, made learning fun for our impressionable minds,

233
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: ones that didn't attempt to indoctor date you.

234
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about.

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: That's your chance to say thank you in a big

Speaker 2: Nominate an outstanding school teacher who.

238
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Has gone on above and beyond.

Speaker 2: For their students, and it's your chance to win five

240
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to stock that teacher's classroom with whatever items

241
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: they need to help in the teaching and learning process.

242
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: Help us say thank you to the educators that are

244
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: on over to iHeartRadio dot com forward slash teachers to participate.

245
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: All right, let me move through a couple of items here,

246
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: and then I want to get to Governor Tim Walls.

247
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: He had a chance to.

248
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: As far as I can tell, he only sat down

249
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: with Channel five to talk about his town halls, which

250
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: he plans on moving forward with in a very unsurprising

251
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: yet completely unproductive way to his spoken desire to ban

252
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: assault weapons. Before we get to that, though, I want

253
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: to go here just briefly, the Minnesota Department of Public

254
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: Safety revealed earlier this week that's a week long extra

255
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: enforce meant campaign and this would have gone back to

256
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: the end of September that resulted in nearly one thousand

257
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: tickets written for not wearing a seat belt or failing

258
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: to properly secure a child. Now, on the second note,

259
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: I can certainly understand I do take a bit of

260
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: an issue with a campaign focused on just wearing a seatbelt.

261
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: I'll explain here in just a moment. This is not

262
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: a pushback on our law enforcement. Actually, I absolutely support

263
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: to our law enforcement. I'm just wondering if this was

264
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: the best use of a week's long campaign. My guess

265
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: is not to bury the lead. My guess is is

266
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: that there was a funding need here and this is

267
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: probably the easiest way for law enforcement to go and

268
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: reap the fiscal benefits of writing a bunch of tickets.

269
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Let me get into further details, though, and if you

270
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: have comments on this, feel free to leave a talk

271
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: back from the Eye Heart Radio app, The State Patrol

272
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: and more than two hundred and fifty law enforcement agencies

273
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: took part. The funding for overtime enforcement was provided by

274
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. So this is the

275
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: good news here that you know the law enforcement officers

276
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: are getting paid for their work, and again I support

277
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: the efforts. The Office of Traffic Safety Director Mike Hansen

278
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: said the citation serve as a powerful reminder for every

279
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: driver and parent to pause and make a life saving choice.

280
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: The data is clear seat belts and proper child restraints

281
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: to save lives. So you had some ninety two citations

282
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: written by the Saint Paul Police Department, you had seventy

283
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: seven for the Minnesota State Patrol West Metro, sixty for

284
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: the East Metro District. And then when you work through

285
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: Saint Cloud, Thief River, Duluth, Virginia, BRAINERD, you know between

286
00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: thirty nine and sixty five tickets among those particular groups. Now,

287
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: the preliminary count shows that one hundred and six unbelted

288
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: motorists were involved in fatal crashes in twenty twenty four,

289
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: accounting for twenty percent of all traffic fatalities. This reminds

290
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: me just a little tiny bit of the conversation that

291
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: we were having at the first part of the show,

292
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: where somebody had made a comment about using one of

293
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: the songs, the parody songs that we play as their

294
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: ring tone, and Brett had said that he never turned

295
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: his ring tone on.

296
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: It's always on vibrating.

297
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: We had a bunch of talkbacks that rolled in that

298
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: were that were doing the same thing that Brett does.

299
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't a debate, it was just how many people

300
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: go and do this? Brett, I assume you put your

301
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: seatbelt on when you drive your car. I do, Okay,

302
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: I do as well.

303
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I was at this point in time.

304
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: I don't think I could drive my car without my

305
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: seatbelt on, Like I just it's so second nature. I

306
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: would feel like I was naked if I was driving

307
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: my car with a the seatbelt on.

308
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: I also turned my car off when I pump gas.

309
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: I do that now too. I used to not do

310
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: that for throwing me under the bus.

311
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: Which is totally fine because I talked about that on

312
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: the air, But I couldn't tell you the last time

313
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: actually left my car running, especially the.

314
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: New car.

315
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's kind of second nature at

316
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: this point in time, buckling up is, as the article says,

317
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: to the point I was making second nature into most

318
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: DPS says that the lack of seatbelt use is still

319
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: a leading factor in fatal crashes on Minnesota roads.

320
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Hey, here's my problem.

321
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: It's that if we weren't dealing with so many other

322
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: issues on our roadways, I wouldn't even have brought this up.

323
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: But we are dealing with a bunch of other issues

324
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: on our roadways. People drive like lunatics, and so I

325
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: would hope that the effort did not take away from

326
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: the other opportunities that law enforcement has to go and

327
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: deal with what I believe are much more egregious and

328
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: much and greater concerns relating to reversing our roadways in Minnesota.

329
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: Because when it comes to seatbelts, I get it, especially

330
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: when it comes to not having your child properly secured. Okay,

331
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: that's different. You're doing that as an adult for another human.

332
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: You need to take care of that. But this is

333
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: a crime. Doing that thing with my fingers or a

334
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: citation that doesn't really harm anybody else.

335
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: So I don't want to push back too hard. I

336
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: just saw this and I.

337
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: Went as somebody that drives about forty miles round trip

338
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: a day, and I see just the lunatics on the roadway,

339
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: both coming and going from work on a daily basis.

340
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: And I couldn't tell you the last time I saw

341
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: a law you know, a state patrol officer or law

342
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: enforcement on the roadways. I kind of go, really, I mean,

343
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: maybe we need to do a week's long effort to

344
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: stop all the egregious bad drivers. And I'm not just

345
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: talking about individuals that tailgate me, although I would be

346
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: more than half if a law enforcement officer pulled one

347
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: of them over at some point.

348
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 3: Time morning guys, cops would rather do anything than fight

349
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: actual crowd.

350
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: I completely disagree with you. These mandates come from up top.

351
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 2: These are not being done by law enforcement officers, and

352
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: so I reject your criticism of our law enforcement.

353
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Officers on that.

354
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: So again, that's just my guess is and I guess

355
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: from that standpoint. The other the funding standpoint, is that

356
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: I can understand law enforce the how law enforcement agencies

357
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: need the money. I just i'd like to see officers

358
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: pulling cops, But I also know that agencies are down

359
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 2: on cops as well. So if you have any comments

360
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: on this, feel free to leave us a talk back

361
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. So it has been more than

362
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: two weeks since Governor Tim Walls and legislative leaders have

363
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: met to discuss the possibility of holding a special session

364
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 2: to address gun violence.

365
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: No new talks are scheduled.

366
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: The governor is making a new direction because he's a

367
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: coward to call a special session knowing he doesn't have

368
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: the votes from his own side, and now he's going

369
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: to try to convince Republicans to at least vote on

370
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: an assault style gun ban. I'll share with you the

371
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: news story from Channel five here in just a moment.

372
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: But Walltz isn't going to go into the DFL districts

373
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: in which he would have a better chance to try

374
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: to change hearts and minds. No, he's going to go

375
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: to Republican districts, which is a complete, utter waste of time.

376
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: He knows it's a waste of time because his goal

377
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: here isn't about banning assault weapons. He knows full well

378
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: that his party's not going to go along with it. No,

379
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: his goal is something else entirely. I'll play for you

380
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: the audio coming up in just a moment on Twin

381
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: Cities News Talking. We'll get to your talkback of the

382
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: day as well, brought.

383
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: To you by Many Leaves.

384
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 10: Speaking of talk backs, morn of John, I believe that

385
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 10: the push for catching the aggressive drivers was a much

386
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 10: better use of this kind of push that they have.

387
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 11: As far as I'm concerned people that don't want to

388
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 11: wear their seatbelt, we're just spinning the herd. And one,

389
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 11: you know, one spin on this is when people with

390
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 11: no car insurance, don't health insurance get hurt.

391
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 7: In an accident, who ends up paying for that?

392
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: So were you one of the nearly one thousand Minnesota

393
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: drivers ticketed and a week long seat belt sting in

394
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: the last week of September. This was a multi jurisdiction

395
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: effort by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety week long

396
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: enforcement campaign not wearing a seatbelt, some one thousand tickets written,

397
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: failing to properly secure a child. You know, it's a bigger,

398
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: a bigger danger, And again I support long enforcement. Just

399
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: I see how ridiculous people drive on the roadways, and

400
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: I wonder, okay, well, I hope that other more egregious

401
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: crimes relating to traveling on the roadways. We're also being done.

402
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: At the same time, we'll get to do a few

403
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: of your thoughts. We'll do the talk back of the day,

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll talk a little. Governor Tim Walls.

405
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 12: After thirty or six years of truck driving, I think

406
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 12: putting them on my seat belt is either muscle memory

407
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 12: or just something I do automatically without thinking of it. Anyway,

408
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 12: I do it before I put it in gear. Anyway,

409
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 12: have a great day.

410
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 13: Good morning, John, Bob, friend of the show. Coming from

411
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 13: a guy that knows the enforcement you're talking about certainly

412
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 13: does take place during those efforts. They just got more.

413
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: People out there doing it, gotcha.

414
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 13: I'm egregious riding behavior is also ticketed during those types

415
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 13: of endeavors.

416
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: Trust being nice.

417
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: But he just sounded like a top, didn't he. I

418
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: actually put my hands ten and two on the laptop

419
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: while he.

420
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: Was while he was talking.

421
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 4: Actually did that.

422
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing it right now, walk out what out?

423
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 4: Hey, John? I got a comment on this.

424
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 14: I drive through the cities almost every day, typically on

425
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 14: four ninety four, sometimes on six ninety four, but always

426
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 14: through ninety four. My biggest problem that I see is

427
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 14: people on their phones. I would say five or six

428
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 14: vehicles out of ten the drivers on their phone, and

429
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 14: I even see that with other semi drivers, where.

430
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: People are holding their phone in their hand.

431
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 14: That's a bigger problem than no seatbelts, according to what

432
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 14: I see.

433
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: Man.

434
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: We were driving to the speaking engagement. Melinda was with

435
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: me and Kyle went along too. Out on the West

436
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: Side on Saturday. There was a car in front of

437
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: me as we were going up one hundred. It's one

438
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: hundred's always the worst.

439
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 10: They were.

440
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: They just they kept driving over into the middle median

441
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 2: outside of the fast lane like like we kept expecting

442
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: them to smack the wall. And again it was one

443
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: or two things. They were either drunk or they were

444
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: on their phone. But this was like three point thirty

445
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: in the afternoon.

446
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 15: I don't wear a seatbelt when I drive around on

447
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 15: surface streets. I do when I'm on the Freeware Highway,

448
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 15: and cops past me all the time. In fact, I've

449
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 15: sat at stuff lights right next to them, turned my

450
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 15: head and smiled and they've smiled back.

451
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: So you're courting controversy.

452
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 16: Weird not weird?

453
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

454
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 15: Well, they've never bothered me.

455
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: I think dangerous.

456
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 2: I mean I would be more if I wasn't gonna

457
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: wear my seatbelt. Let's just say the choice between wearing

458
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: seatbelts on surface streets or wearing seatbelts on the highway.

459
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm wearing my seatbelt on the surface streets as opposed

460
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: to wearing them on the highway. If I had to

461
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: get the choice between the two, you could only wear

462
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: your seatbelt one or the other, either on surface streets

463
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: or on the freeway. Or on the freeway, I'm choosing

464
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: surface streets to wear my seatbelt. Brent's looking at me.

465
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: You don't see my logic in that.

466
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 16: I mean, what's more likely for you to fly out

467
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 16: of your windshield? No, I'm going to crash on the freeway,

468
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 16: crash on the surface streets, Okay, I'll.

469
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: Give that to you.

470
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it from the standpoint of what's more

471
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: likely for me to which scenario is more likely for

472
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: me to get hit surface streets over freeway.

473
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: That's tough.

474
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: That's a freedom fried that this is going to completely take.

475
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: Over the end of the show.

476
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 16: I think it is, or I'll turn it away tables.

477
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 16: We could just say that we don't condone not wearing

478
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 16: your seat belt as a show. There is probably just

479
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 16: wear enough. Of course, you absolutely should. And if you

480
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 16: have a car that's not ancient and like like mine

481
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 16: is not new, but it's not ancient, it'll literally annoy

482
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 16: me until I wear my seat belt, even if I

483
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 16: go across the street.

484
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Okay, here's what I'm

485
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna do.

486
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna put an end to this right now

487
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 2: because I don't have time to go there. Right, I'm

488
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 2: gonna save it because I already see we're getting that,

489
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 2: which we don't often get anymore because I don't talk

490
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: about the phone number, but people are calling me because

491
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: I think there's the problem is there's good arguments both

492
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: ways on you can only choose one, which is a

493
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: completely hypothetical situation that nobody has to choose from. Right, Okay,

494
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a pin in that. I'm just gonna

495
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 2: save the article for tomorrow. Maybe we'll go there for

496
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 2: a question of the day, all right, so you can

497
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: just stop. We're not going there right now. I want

498
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: to talk walls and guns. That's what I promote, what

499
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: I promoted, all right. Before we get to that, though,

500

521

Speaker 2: In the meantime, let's go here walls to hold town

522
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: halls to take assault style gun bands to the people.

523
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: Here's a portion of the story from Channel five here

524
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: on Twin City's News Talk.

525
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 18: After the mass shooting at a Nunciation church and school,

526
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 18: Governor Walls said he planned to call a special session

527
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 18: so lawmakers could vote on an assault style gun ban.

528
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 19: This is about one hundred and sixteen rounds flying through

529
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 19: the church windows in thirty seconds, and we know from

530
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 19: research globally in here in the United States, we could

531
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 19: actually reduce the chance of people being killed.

532
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 18: In an interview in his office this week, the governor said,

533
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 18: with talks for a special session stalled, he's going another direction.

534
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 19: So here's what I'm a new tom. I'm just going

535
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 19: to take this out to the public. We're going to

536
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 19: hold a series of town halls. I'm going to specifically

537
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 19: go into districts where I know that that member doesn't

538
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 19: want to vote on it, because I think they vote

539
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 19: yes if it came forward, and I think Minnesotan's deserve this.

540
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 15: What I have repeatedly told the governor and in the

541
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 15: meetings that we've all had together, is we will absolutely

542
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 15: show up when he calls for the special session.

543
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 18: The governor won't reveal which Republican districts he'll target, but

544
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 18: Republican House Speaker Lisa Damath says the governor can't expect

545
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 18: Republicans to rubber stamp bills he wants passed, especially a

546
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 18: gun ban.

547
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 15: What we can't do, though, is have a narrow list

548
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 15: of items without having anything vetted through the committee process

549
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 15: and expect them to be passed.

550
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 18: Will all members of your caucus vote for an assault

551
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 18: style weapons ban, high capacity magazine ban?

552
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: Yes.

553
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 18: House DFL leader Zach Stevenson says his caucus is ready

554
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 18: to vote now. If you're listening to the families of

555
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 18: the victims of annunciation, if you're listening to the community,

556
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 18: if you're listening to the people of Minnesota, you.

557
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 11: Know that overwhelmingly they want those measures to pass.

558
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 19: I am asking them to come in debate this band,

559
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 19: put it on the floor and vote, and if you

560
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 19: think it's a terrible idea that infringes on your Second

561
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 19: Amendment rights and won't protect our students, then vote no.

562
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: But he's not.

563
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: He's the only one that can call for a special session.

564
00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: Nobody else. Why is he targeting GOP districts because he

565
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: wants campaign fodder to use against Republicans next year.

566
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: That's it. It's the only reason why he was calling

567
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: for a special session.

568
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: He's a coward now to do so because he knows

569
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: that his own dfllers are begging him not to, because

570
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: in the Senate, those two or three that wouldn't vote

571
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: for this don't want to be on record themselves. If

572
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: he had any interest at all actually getting a ban passed,

573
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: he would go to DFL districts, because that's a better

574
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: chance at going and convincing voters through these waste of

575
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Timetown halls than going to Republican districts. But he doesn't,

576
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: and if he really wanted to get it done, he

577
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't even do that. He would just go and move

578
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: forward with his special session. As I've said earlier on

579
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: the show, a good leader who genuinely cares about an issue,

580
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: and in this case, you're supposed to believe that Governor

581
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 2: Tim Walls is a good leader. You're supposed to believe

582
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: that he actually cares about these issues. If he was,

583
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: he would go and call a special session, and he

584
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: would go and criticize not just Republicans for not getting

585
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: on board, but his own members of his party for

586
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: not getting on board.

587
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: That's what a good leader would do. That's doing the

588
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: right thing, that's actually.

589
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: Standing behind what it is you believe, but he doesn't

590
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: stand behind what he believes. He's as crooked as the

591
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: rest of them. Cracks me up that they had the

592
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: Minnesota would be surfer Zach Stevenson in the clip. Has

593
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: there been coverage on Channel five of which you heard

594
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: that clip from, on the fact that he's being sued

595
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: by Anoka County over potentially attempting to move unlawfully tax

596
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: dollars transferring them to Anoka County so that he could

597
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: fund his Rum River Surf Park pet project. No, it's

598
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: all just political theater. Speaking of pet projects, just really quick.

599
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: City of Bloomington just completed a renovations on a city

600
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: hall bathroom that costs nearly.

601
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: One million dollars. Oh, that must be one nice bathroom,

602
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: that bathroom. I hope that when I walk into that.

603
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: Bathroom, like I don't have to do anything, Like I

604
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: basically just walk in, put my hands up, and whatever

605
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: mechanism is in place, just taste care of everything else

606
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: for me. Drops trout takes care of everything else, cleans

607
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: me up. I just got to walk into But you

608
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: take this, good dear, don't do a thing, Thank you

609
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: very much. And they're using COVID relief funds. One city

610
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: council candidate Jonathan Minks, it's not sitting well. He's running

611
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: for an at large seat on Bloomington City Council after

612
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: previously seeking another seat in twenty twenty three. Yeah, let's

613
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: have reported that the Bloomington spent nine hundred and eighty

614
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to renovate a bathroom located in the city

615
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 2: owned building that houses both the city Hall and the

616
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: Bloomington Center of the Arts. The updated restroom is gender

617
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: neutral and has eleven enclosed stalls. Criticizing the decision to

618
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: spend the one million on the bathroom, Minks told ALFA

619
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: News many Bloomington schools, some dating back to the fifties

620
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: and sixties, have received little to no structural upgrades, and

621
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: yet this is what they're doing right now. They try

622
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: to reach out to U. When they contacted for the

623
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: Story of the City, they said the new bathroom is

624
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: now more accessible, eighty eight compliant, and will enhance safety

625
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: and privacy concerns. There is a gun, turrets involved in

626
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: there is the whole thing covered in gold. The city

627
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: also said property taxes were not used on the project,

628
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: and some of the Rescue American rescue funds received by

629
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: the city were designated for government facility projects. It doesn't

630
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: make it right, by the way, I just pointing that

631
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: out to Walls in his town halls. Let's go to

632
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.

633
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 20: Morning, guys, Gonzo. I would like to ask Governor Walls

634
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 20: just one question. Maybe I'll go to one of his

635
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 20: town hall meetings and.

636
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: Ask him this.

637
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 20: Governor Walls, just how would any increase in any gun

638
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 20: laws banning weapons of war style weapons or high capacity magazines.

639
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 20: How would that keep the guns out of the criminal's hands,

640
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 20: you know, the ones that are committing these crimes, the

641
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 20: ones that are doing carjackings.

642
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 4: How would that help? Doubt it?

643
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't care, Gonzo, You're right, it's a relevant question.

644
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: I would love to see Governor Tim Walls have to

645
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: answer any of this.

646
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: I love for him to be asked. And I wish

647
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: Channel five.

648
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: Had asked him, why are you going to gop districts?

649
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: Why don't you go you can three town halls, go

650
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: to those three districts that those DFL senators we know

651
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: would not get on board with an assault style weapons ban.

652
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: Why don't you talk to those voters since those voters

653
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: voted for a DFL or wouldn't they be more inclined

654
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: with reason and having the governor come and visit for

655
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: a town hall to go and get on board and

656
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: support those particular senate Democrats.

657
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: Make it make sense. But we're talking about tim Walls.

658
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: So it's going to be town walls. On the word

659
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 4: salid tour. This is just a word salad with no substance.

660
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 21: Good morning, guys, bitch here. So Tyrant Timmy wants to

661
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 21: have tone halls. Tyrant Timmy wants to control who comes

662
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 21: to his tone halls because he can't handle any opposition speech.

663
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: Yet he declares there's the end of democracy.

664
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 21: According to Trump, we really know who's the little dictator.

665
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 21: It's Tyrant Timmy.

666
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: Regarding the one million dollar bathroom in Bloomington.

667
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 12: John, that's just too much TMI.

668
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 15: Regarding that bathroom issue.

669
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: I did. I didn't take it that far. I saw

670
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: a look on Brett's face he was getting concerned.

671
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 16: Drop trow I think was order line.

672
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: I didn't break any FCC violations, So there you go.

673
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 15: Wow.

674
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: No, at Alpha News they posted a video, just a

675
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: quick one here, And I want to talk a little

676
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 2: bit about the note King's protest.

677
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I've been holding on some.

678
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: Audio I want to share with you, But Alpha News

679
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: obtained exclusive video of Attorney General Keith Ellison not clapping

680
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: for veterans when they arrived on an honor flight to

681
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: visit memorials in DC. This was on September twenty sixth

682
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: Reagan National Airport. Just after the honor flight landed. The

683
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: airline workers were announcing the veterans by name as they

684
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: arrived bystanders all around properly going and honoring our veterans.

685
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: And there's Attorney General Keith Ellison not clapping, rocking back

686
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 2: and forth with earbuds, and I assume he was probably

687
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: listening to the audio book of the ANTIFA handbook. If

688
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: and when this were to get further average prompting a response,

689
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: the angle from Ellison and the Democrats is going to

690
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 2: be just like the right said, the left was wasn't

691
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: mourning properly the assassination of Charlie Kirk, And now the

692
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: right is going to tell the left how to honor

693
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 2: vets properly. But again, the Charlie Kirk ridiculous accusation was

694
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: all about Democrats celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk in

695
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: terms of if they were to use this excuse that

696
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: the right is telling the left how to honor vets properly. Yeah,

697
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: I'm actually on board with that, because that's how you

698
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 2: honor our veterans properly. So Cara Levin was kind enough

699
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: to put together what to Know about the No King's

700
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: Day protests on Saturday, orchestrated by the.

701
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: Fifty to fifty.

702
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: One Movement, the fifty to fifty one movement, the five

703
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 2: oh five oh one movement.

704
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how you want to and how you

705
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: want to label this.

706
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: It's the five oh five O one stands for fifty states,

707
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: fifty protests one movement.

708
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: I hope it's huge.

709
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: Like I mentioned earlier in the show, I hope it's

710
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: bigger than the last one because I'd much rather have

711
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: Democrats out wasting their time, energy and money protesting looking

712
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: ridiculous on the streets of America than actually going and

713
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: doing anything tangible relating to getting Democrats elected. As a

714
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: bit of a preview, though, this is some of what

715
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: you can probably expect to see on signage and T

716
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: shirts at these No King's rallies. On Saturday, we go

717
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: to Wisconsin, where a Democrat talks about a bracelet that

718
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 2: was given to a child, saying is he dead yet?

719
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: This is from Fox News eleven in Wisconsin.

720
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 22: It's hate speech. I mean it's literally wishing death on somebody,

721
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 22: which isn't appropriate in any scenario.

722
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 23: Katie Nubauer says she and her family were enjoying their

723
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 23: Saturday morning at the Ashkash Farmers Market this past weekend,

724
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 23: but things took a turn. She says, when her eight

725
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 23: year old child was handed a bracelet from a member

726
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 23: of the Winnebago County Democratic Parties booth.

727
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 22: The guy behind the tent table said, hey, give this

728
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 22: to your mom. She's going to really want this. And

729
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 22: one of the children comes running up gives us the

730
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 22: bracelet and we're looking at it and it literally says

731
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 22: is he dead yet? On the bracelet.

732
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 23: Neubauer and the Republican Party of Winnebago County assumed this

733
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 23: was a hate speech reference to President Donald Trump. Fox

734
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 23: eleven was unable to get a photo of the bracelets.

735
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 23: We've been working to get questions answered by the county

736
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 23: Democratic Party. The Winnebego County Democratic Party's office is locked,

737
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 23: and a sign says that it's closed for Columbus Day.

738
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 23: I also called them, but they said everyone is on

739
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 23: vacation and no one can do an interview. Fox eleven

740
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 23: also reached out to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. It

741
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 23: declined an interview, but instead the party's communications director, Philip Shulman,

742
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 23: texted us a statement that reads, the materials brought by

743
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 23: a volunteer without the authorization of the party are not

744
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 23: in line with our values and we regret this happened.

745
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 23: The Republican Party says this type of material is concerning

746
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 23: and point to the September tenth assassination of Conservative acts

747
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 23: to this Charlie Kirk as a reminder that political violence

748
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 23: and hate speech cannot be tolerated.

749
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 17: We are at a time in our country where political

750
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 17: violence is at an all time high, and to have

751
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 17: one of the major parties out there continuing to perpetuate

752
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 17: it would be very sad.

753
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 23: The Oshkosh Farmers Market tells Fox eleven it received about

754
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 23: ten complaints from customers about the bracelets.

755
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: I fully expect that you're going to see that type

756
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: of language and much much worse.

757
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: Coming up on Saturday. But before we get to.

758
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 2: Saturday, we have Freedom Friday, joining us in the studio,

759
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,319
