1 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: House Speaker Lisa Daymoth announced his campaign for Minnesota governor. 2 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: We played audio from her campaign ad last hour. If 3 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: you missed any portion of the show, be sure to 4 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: check out the podcast available on the iHeart Radio app. 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: Let's get back to some more of your talk back comments, 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: brought to you by Lyndahl Realty from the iHeartRadio app 7 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: as we continue our broadcast from the six five to 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: one Carpet plus Next Day install studios. 9 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: Based upon that commercial and knowing Lisa Damoth, while I 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 2: don't know her, but I'm just observing her as Speaker 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: of the House, Lisa Daymoth will be the next governor 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: of the state of Minnesota. That ad was a positive ad, 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: point out positive aspects of Minnesota and also effectively attacked 14 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: tyrant Timmy Walls. So if she is the nominee, she 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: will win the governorship. 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: And I'm pretty good at predictions. Wow, well he had, well, 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: he has spoken. 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure that Lisa David will be very pleased to 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: hear your prediction. You know, I'm just why, why why 20 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't she. 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 4: Be regarding the upcoming GOP process. As long as everybody 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 4: remains about how they differ from the Democrats. Perhaps they 23 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 4: should just focus on the positives of what they will 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 4: do as opposed to tearing the other nominees down. 25 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: Well, that's what I hope for. 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: We live in very bizarre times, to say the to 27 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: say the least, and there's an amazing opportunity to keep 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls from having what would be a historic 29 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: third term as governor. I listen the historical precedent alone, 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: given the fact that no governor since we went to 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: four to four year terms has ever won a third 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: term before, and Governor Jim Walls is an incredibly damaged candidate. 33 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: First selected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in twenty eighteen, 34 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: Alpha News highlights that perhaps the most remarkable legislative win 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: Damuth achieved during her short time as speaker was forcing 36 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Democrats to support a new law that revokes illegal aliens 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: access to Minnesota Care as a state run health care program. 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: Now Damouth does join a growing field of Republican candidates 39 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: the businessman Kendall Qualls, former State Senator Scott Jensen, State 40 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Representative Kristin Robbins, Jeff Johnson, Phil Parrish, Brad Kohler. The 41 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: field of GOP candidates is expected to grow further, Brett 42 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: and the Master Control booth. 43 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: Did you want to make any announcements this morning or 44 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 3: you weren't going to run? 45 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: For you? 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you're old enough to run for governor? 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Might be am, I don't have just turned twenty nine. 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: What's the legal I don't think I think you got 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: to be in your thirties. I think I could be wrong. 50 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: I could be wrong. So if you were planning on 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: making an announcement this morning, too bad for you. 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 4: Dang it. 53 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: I'll have to look that up. 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: For instance, Attorney Chris Maddel said that he was strongly 55 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: considering entering the race after receiving encouragement to run from 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: Republican donors and activists. Whoever wins the GOP nomination for 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: governor will face an uphill battle. No Republican has won 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota's governorship since Tim Polenty won re election to office 59 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: in two thousand and six by less. 60 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: Than one point. 61 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: And again, this goes back to sort of the unprecedented 62 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: time that we live in right now. One, you have 63 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Walls vying for a historic third term, incredibly damaged with 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: all of the baggage attached to him, but at the 65 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: same time again, no Republican has won since going back 66 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: to two thousand and six. Jensen, the GOP nominee for 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: governor in twenty twenty two, lost lost by roughly eight points. 68 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: Walls announced earlier this year, of course, that he will 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: seek an impressed in a third consecutive four year term. 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: Damas said, by every measure, Tim Walls has failed Minnesota 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: under his watch. Fraud is rampant across nearly every program 72 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: in state government, violent crime has surged, Half of Minnesota's 73 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: children are unable to read at grade level, and Walls 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: raised taxes by billions of dollars and squandered in historic surplus. 75 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: We need a new direction and I will deliver it 76 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: next November, said dam And then again, hopefully we'll be 77 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: speaking with her tomorrow on the show She Believe Again. 78 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: It's holding a larger press conference today now. Speaking of 79 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: the other candidate that we were talking about earlier this morning, 80 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Kristin Robbins. A billboard highlighting a Kenyan resort purchased with 81 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: money from Minnesota taxpayers was set to hit highways as 82 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: part of a new ad campaign targeting Governor Tim Wallas's leadership, 83 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: but the ad was stopped by the company paid to 84 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: display it out Front Media. According to Representative Kristin Robbins 85 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: campaign she recently launch launched an ad blitz called Fight 86 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: the Fraud, pledging to end what she did describes as 87 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: a culture of waste of use in criminal schemes that 88 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: have flourished under Governor Tim Walls. Her campaign digital mockup 89 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: shows the Cariboo but it's Kaaribu. Just want to point 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: that out the Caribou Resort in Deny Beach, with the 91 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: tagline criticizing Walls for allowing fraudsters to spend taxpayer money overseas. 92 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: Federal prosecutors say the defendant in the Feeding Our Future case, 93 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: live on yasan Alshire, used public funds to purchase luxury 94 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: items such as the Kenyon Resort. Additionally, a June twenty 95 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: four report on Feeding Our Future from the Independent Office 96 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: of Legislative Auditor found the Walls and Administration failed to 97 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: act on the warning signs, did not effectively exercise his authority. 98 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 3: And was ill prepared to respond. 99 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: The report said the Walls and Administration's a inadequate oversight 100 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of Feeding Our Future created opportunities for fraud, so Outfront Media, 101 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: the National billboard, company whose sign lines interstates across the country, 102 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: rejected the app ad. The agency working with Robins Campaign 103 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: to help place the ad contacted out Front Media and 104 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: reported back, I just got off the film without front Remedia, 105 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: the owner and operator for the digital billboard, and unfortunately 106 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: their legal team will not allow us to move forward 107 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: with the current creative. 108 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: The agency said. 109 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: They reviewed the information the team provided earlier and were 110 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: unable to find anything specifically directing and connecting tim Walls 111 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: to the claim. Per company policy, any ad considered an 112 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: attack AD must have clear evidence to substantiate the claim. 113 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Out Front told the Robins Campaign to provide additional information 114 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: that directly links tim Walls to the claim or submit 115 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: an entirely new creative. So this is where and again 116 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: this is speculation here right. First off, this Navy policy 117 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: and maybe this is falling under the policy of Outfront Media. 118 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: That being said, if this is a political move and 119 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: they're looking at a potential gray area and dismissing and 120 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: not allowing this billboard to go up, it's probably just 121 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: going to bring more attention to the issue. If I 122 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: was Kristin Robbins, though, I take advantage of this. Oh 123 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: you want me to expand upon all the reasons, why 124 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: come up with another billboard that does just that. Robbins, 125 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: who co chairs the House Fraud Prevention Committee, called the 126 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: decision outrageous and noted that one of the company's board 127 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: members previously served as chair of the Florida Democrat Party, saying, 128 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: as governor, the buck stops with Tim Walls, and under 129 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: his watch fraud was rampant. It is outrageous. The liberal 130 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: media continues to cover up for Walls, but we will 131 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: not be silenced. We will continue to sound the alarm 132 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: about the rampant fraud under Tim Walls. As governor, I 133 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: will put an end to this wasteful nonsense. The statement 134 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: went on to say from Kristin Robbins, Yeah, So what 135 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: I would do is, I would do what the Billboard 136 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: Company asked. I would just create another billboard that actually 137 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: has all the direct connections and how you align the 138 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: two together to take advantage of it. That being said, 139 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: an interesting sort of side note to this whole thing. 140 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Billboard companies don't catch heat of all the controversial things 141 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: that we've even talked about on the show this morning. 142 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: With everything so politically divided, when was the last time 143 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: you heard, specifically a billboard company being criticized for what 144 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: they posted. 145 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: And I'll give you the best example. 146 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: You had Alphinews in the fall of Minneapolis billboards that 147 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: went up all over the place, and there were plenty 148 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: of people that criticized the billboards themselves and the message, 149 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: but they didn't they didn't go after the actual billboard company. 150 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: Just an interesting little observation, and you know what, you're 151 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: fascinating to talk to. It's true, though it's weird. 152 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: They get a free pass like nobody else does billboard 153 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: companies do. Speaking of branding, here's a quick one and 154 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: our attention over to Minneapolis. Cracker Barrel redeemed itself last 155 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: week with one savage social media post after the rebrand fiasco. 156 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: So the popular family restaurant responded to a photo mocking 157 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: all of the liberals that were having the meltdown over 158 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's White House renovation project. 159 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, where does that go? 160 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: By the way, the like disappeared over the weekend like Halloween. 161 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: Like erased it. I haven't seen any. 162 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: Further commentary about the White House ballroom renovations. 163 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 3: It's just it's that they didn't really care as much 164 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 3: as they said they did, mean that isn't me. 165 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: Various doctored images have circulated showing exaggerated additions to the property, 166 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: including a giant Trump tower that was. 167 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: A funny one. 168 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: The meme that caught Cracker Barrel's attention, however, showed one 169 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: of its restaurants attached to the White House East wing. 170 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel responded, wait, they're really attaching a Cracker Barrel 171 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: to the east wing? Set an x account alongside a crying, laughing, 172 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: laughing emoji. Cracker Barrel then officially responded to the to 173 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: the account and replied saying, you probably don't want us 174 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: anywhere near a remodel.

We have some 226 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: interesting news regarding Saint Paul as well, and they're proposed 227 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: to gun no ordinance ordinance. We'll get to that first off, though. 228 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: This tragic story from last week. A man shot and 229 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: killed outside of his workplace in South Minneapolis Thursday morning 230 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: after confronting a suspected thief. The individual was apparently trying 231 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: to steal his car. Surely before seven am, Minneapolis Police 232 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: from the third Precinct received a call for a man 233 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: down outside of the Cornerstone Parking Group building. Police responded 234 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: to the parking lot and found the man on the ground. 235 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: He appeared to have a gunshot wound to the torso, 236 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: and officers immediately began attempting medical aid. The victim was 237 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: pronounced deceased at the scene. There was a press conference 238 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: that took place in Minneapolis. Police Chief Brian O'Hara made 239 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: these comments, a tragic. 240 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 7: Morning I've here today in South Minneapolis. A man lost 241 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 7: his life after confronting someone that appears to be was 242 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 7: attempting to commit a theft from a vehicle. This happened 243 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 7: right outside the victim's workplace, a place where he should 244 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 7: have felt safe. Our thoughts are with the victims loved 245 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 7: ones and his coworkers at this difficult time. Shortly before 246 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 7: seven am, Minneapolis Police off from the third Precinct received 247 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 7: a call for a man down on the outside of 248 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 7: the building behind me. Police officers responded to the parking 249 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 7: lot and found a man down on the ground. Officers 250 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 7: found that individual appeared to have a gunshot warned. The 251 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 7: officers immediately began to attempt to provide medical aid and 252 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 7: requested fire and ems to respond Practically, despite their efforts, 253 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 7: the victim was pronounced de ceased at the scene. Our 254 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 7: preliminary information indicates that about a half hour earlier, the 255 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 7: victim had confronted an individual attempting to commit a theft 256 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 7: from a vehicle that was in the parking lot. It 257 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 7: appears there was a brief struggle between the victim and 258 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 7: a suspect. During that struggle, the victim was shot. About 259 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 7: twenty minutes later, the victim was found by a coworker 260 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 7: who then called nine. We're in the very early stages 261 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 7: of this investigation. Our forensic scientists are on the scene, 262 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 7: processing the scene and recovering numerous pieces of evidence. Our 263 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 7: homicide investigators are actively reviewing surveillance footage, conducting interviews, and 264 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 7: are following up on several leads right now. We ask 265 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 7: for anyone in the public who may have information not 266 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 7: just around this incident, but perhaps on other thefts from 267 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 7: vehicles that may have occurred, particularly in this area, to 268 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 7: contact the police as soon as possible. 269 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: The media unsurprisingly buried the story after last week. When 270 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: you look at the headlines today, there was a massive 271 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: fight that broke out a valley fair actually closed the 272 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: fare down. Police had to be brought in. There was 273 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: a man shot in a bar in Saint Paul. A 274 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: footchase and shootout ensued after that incident, and then you 275 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: had a Dinkytown shooting near the University of Minnesota where 276 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: somebody was killed. 277 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: The stakes have never been higher, you know. 278 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: And unfortunately the clip that I played and I'll replay 279 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: it again because it's relevant. 280 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 3: The whole reason. 281 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: Why I played it was because it actually relates very 282 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: much in line with what the city of Minneapolis is 283 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: dealing with. This mayoral race tomorrow coming up. I want 284 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: to get into. I have a clip the Minneapolis Times 285 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: and again a publication I just found because of the 286 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: precarious State documentary. But they do some fantastic on the 287 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: ground reporting out of Minneapolis. 288 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 3: They have an audio. 289 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: Clip of the self proclaimed Marxist socialist Robin Wansley revealing 290 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: the hidden agenda to defund MPD. I'll share with you 291 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: the audio of that, and we'll also get into another 292 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: piece from the Minneapolis Times, the foot dragging taking place 293 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: by the council that actually equates to defunding the police. 294 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: What they say to others in order to get re 295 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: elected versus the policies that they actually move forward with. 296 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: So we'll get to all that coming up, plus your 297 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: talkback of the day as well. This would have been 298 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: an under running, but it was a little bit too 299 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: self glorifying. I guess I'll play it ahead of time, 300 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: and we'll get to your talk back of the day 301 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: coming up in just a moment on Twin City's News Talk. 302 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you do you your best line of 303 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: the day's radio. I haven't mentioned it this morning, but 304 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: I think the moment I enjoyed the most of watching 305 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings and Lance game yesterday. It was just at 306 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: the end to see the fans just so dejected. 307 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 3: That was before there was that. 308 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: The touchdown by Detroit that brought him closer, but it 309 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: was still pretty much a foregone conclusion at that point 310 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: in time, although given the Vikings this year, you simply 311 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: never know. 312 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: But I do it. 313 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: I always think about this when I watch the home 314 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: team losing a game. Just the number of sad people 315 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: just exiting out of the stadium afterwards. It's just a 316 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: regardless of where it is.

I'm going to share a jpeg of my 348 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: face so they can put it on the mini Leaf 349 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: packaging so they can be on the night. Yeah, although 350 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: it should be me like sleeping right right. 351 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 3: That is your talk back of the day. 352 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: It is brought to you by Mini Leaf minileaf dot 353 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: com and on over m I N N E l 354 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: eaf dot com. There's a narrative in the upcoming election. 355 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: The Democrat Socialist led City Clouncil has been providing more 356 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: than adequate resources to the Minneapolis Police Department. The Minneapolis 357 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: Times Rights I was told by my own DSA colouncil member, 358 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: Council's my word, coluncil member, that the MPD has the 359 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: highest budget they've ever had. Obviously, the DSA Council has 360 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: not defunded the police, given that we're spending so much 361 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: money on them. Everything with public safety is fine. The 362 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: problem is not resources, which is under control of the 363 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: city clouncil, but with the themselves. But the DSA City 364 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: Council members have found lots of other ways to go 365 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: and sabotage police. 366 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 3: One thing they. 367 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: Failed to mention is that they cut funding for the 368 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: police recruitment program. We've added about fifty new police officers 369 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: over the last year, in large part because of this program. 370 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: We used to have nine hundred. 371 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: And fifty officers in twenty nineteen, and we're at a 372 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: low of about five hundred and fifty. Although I do 373 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: know that Omar Fate did pledge to at least keep 374 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: with the legally required seven hundred police officers, as he 375 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: says in his campaign material, we'll see if he actually 376 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: sticks to that. Heaven forbid, if he were to win 377 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: the race, presently, we're up to about six hundred due 378 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: to the recruitment program, but now the city council cut 379 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: the program. If they had allowed it to continue, Minneapolis 380 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: may have filled more police officer position, but now it won't, 381 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: leaving a long term dearth of sworn officers. I pointed 382 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: out Minneapolis Times goes on to say to my clouncil 383 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 1: member that cutting recruiting funding doesn't only keep fresh recruits 384 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: from becoming police officers, it shows the city council's hostile 385 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: and they have a hostile. 386 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 3: Attitude towards their own employees. 387 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: No one wants to work for a boss that hates them, 388 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: and many on the city council have made their dislike 389 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: of police abundantly clear. And it is and and it 390 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: is this attitude that is actually the problem. 391 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 5: Now. 392 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: To add insult to injury, the DSA voting block, for example, 393 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: Elliott Page votes with Robin Wansley ninety four percent of 394 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: the time, but did not seek the DSA endorsement. They've 395 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: learned the art of foot dragging. They delayed the approval 396 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: of the police contract and held up approval of the 397 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: shot spotter used since the nineteen nineties. 398 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: When they take up these issues. 399 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: The council also uses these their time on the day 400 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: is to say hurtful things about the police to make 401 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: it clear where they stand with their own employees. So 402 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: the piece goes on to continue to lay out examples 403 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: of the foot dragging done by the city council in 404 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: Minneapolis and how it really does equate to funding the police. 405 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 3: At the end of the piece, it. 406 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: Says, because they want to punish police, the citizens have 407 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: suffered greatly from the city council's foot dragging neglect, and 408 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: they're never ending tolerance of violent crimes. We need the 409 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: suffering of residents to end, and that means electing a 410 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: city council that cares. I guess in that case, you 411 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: would be counsel that cares about keeping residents safe rather 412 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: than the dsa goal of defunding the police. Hopefully that's 413 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: what happens in the next election. This is me talking 414 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: to you, not holding my breath, but to that point, 415 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: and a subsequent piece from the Minneapolis Times, they actually 416 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: pull audio of Robin Wansley. This is a clip from 417 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,719 Speaker 1: a radio free sun Root what that means episode thirty 418 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: How defund the police was blocked by Minneapolis. You see 419 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: Wansley reveals in this clip they hidden agenda to defund 420 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: the police. It's all in the way that you frame 421 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: the terminology. 422 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 10: And because those calls for abolition and this defunding was 423 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 10: very united together and not everywhere, and this was new, 424 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 10: like this was a new kind of word as you mentioned, 425 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 10: or a new idea in imagination that was actually made 426 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 10: public to a lot of folks, Like you know, there's 427 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 10: a lot of us that identify as abolishnists or you know, 428 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 10: have done things under a abolitionist politics, but you don't 429 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 10: frame it in that way, you don't talk about it 430 00:25:53,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 10: publicly because you know, working class people they're it's it's 431 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 10: it's one of those trigger words for them because just 432 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 10: like when we said be fun or not be fun, 433 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 10: but dismant of the police, the people, most working class 434 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 10: people and black folks just saw the world in complete chaos. 435 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 10: They had memories from when they watched pers one or 436 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 10: Perse two just coming to the forefront of their minds, 437 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 10: like everything is gonna be lawlessness. Who's gonna care for me? 438 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 10: There's people are just gonna kill everybody, Like literally the 439 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 10: world is going to fall apart. 440 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: As you know, with there is a middle ground here, 441 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: and it's not even all that far removed from the 442 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: over the top example that this CLUNSUL member Robin Wansley gave. 443 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: This is why I brought up and played the audio 444 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: of the police chief and the story of the individual 445 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 1: seven point thirty in the morning, somebody trying to steal 446 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: their car. He goes to defend his property, property, and 447 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: he's murdered for it. Dinky Town shooting, the Saint Paul 448 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: fight that took place in Saint Paul. 449 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 3: But you understand. 450 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: So, yeah, when people here dismantle, defund the police and 451 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: then they get concerned about the crime that would ensue. 452 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 3: One need only look at the map of. 453 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: The carjackings across the totality of Minneapolis, where you can't 454 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: even see the street names because there are so many 455 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: carjacking icons just infecting the entirety of the map. The 456 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: piece from the Minnesota Before excuse me from the Minneapolis 457 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: Times says, for those closely watching the socialist led majority 458 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: on the Minneapolis City Council. Oh and by the way, 459 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: to that point, I need to make a clarification here. 460 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: Let's go to the iHeartRadio app talkbacks. 461 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 8: Hey John, when you say councils by word. Are you 462 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 8: saying they use that word and they stole it from you, 463 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,239 Speaker 8: or are you saying you're saying it over what they 464 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 8: said where they said council and you're saying council have 465 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 8: a great thing. 466 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: It's the latter. So I'm saying it, but that's not 467 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: what they put in the story. Perhaps I should just 468 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: read it verbatim in order to avoid confusion. 469 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: All right, getting back to the Minneapolis Times. 470 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: For those closely watching the Socialists led majority of the 471 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: Minneapolis City Council for the past few years, the statement 472 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: from Robin Wansley comes as no surprise. From refusing to 473 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: accept during a budget crunch, fifteen million from the state 474 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: of Minnesota for MPD compensation, the cutting of the police 475 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: training budget, the defunding of the mounted police unit, the 476 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: attempt to cancel the shot spot or contract, refusing to 477 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: build or rebuild the third Precinct station. We've been watching 478 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: the DSA strategy execute it exactly as it stated on 479 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: their own DSA political platform. I have it right here, 480 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: defund the police by rejecting any expansion to the police 481 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: budge or scope of enforcement, while cutting budgets annually toward 482 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: zero fire officers with excessive force complaints, and freeze new hires, 483 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: end investment in police training or faculty facility renovations, decertify 484 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: police unions and associations. They have absolutely no baseline of 485 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: success to ever point two. And part of the reason 486 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: why these individuals have gotten elected is because they basically 487 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: lie when they're running for office. They run as Democrats. 488 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: They say the nice buzzwords. They don't frame it like 489 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: she said. They hid an agenda behind the defund the 490 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: MPD movement. You don't frame it that way, you don't 491 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: talk about it publicly, and then when you get into office, 492 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: you go and move forward with all those changes. Now, 493 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: are the citizens whise to this at this point in time, 494 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: I have no idea. 495 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 3: We'll wait to see how they shake out. 496 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: Because the situation, as Trump detailed in the interview with 497 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: sixty Minutes relating to what's happening in New York City 498 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: is pretty much the same situation that the voters are 499 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: faced with here in Minneapolis in this mayoral race. 500 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 5: Well, what if Mandami becomes mayor, It's going to be 501 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 5: hard for me as the president to give a lot 502 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 5: of money to New York because if you have a 503 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 5: communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the 504 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 5: money you're sending there. So I don't know that he's one, 505 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 5: and I'm not a fan of Cuomo one way or 506 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 5: the other. But if it's going to be between a 507 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 5: bad Democrat and a communist, I'm going to pick the 508 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 5: bad Democrat all the time, to be honest with you. 509 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: And that's what we're faced with with Omar Fatte the 510 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: other DSA candidates in Minneapolis, Man Baby may Or Mom Jeans. 511 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 3: Jacob Fry. 512 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: It's interesting too if you if you pay close attention, 513 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: this hasn't It can't really be seen unless you're kind 514 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: of really on top of it following stuff. But the 515 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: media coverage already surrounding Lisa Damoth getting into the governor's 516 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: race and some of the GOP pushback is already gaining 517 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: more attention among the majority of the news outlets than 518 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: what's taking place right now in the fighting on the ground. 519 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: Relating to the Minneapolis mayoral race. It like erupted over 520 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: the weekend. You have the faction of Omar fat As 521 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: being supported by Ilhun Omar. 522 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: She's making over the top. 523 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: Propaganda style statements over the weekend. In the meantime, you've 524 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: got as many big guns as possible. With the DFL 525 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 1: coming out in support of Jacob Fry, you wouldn't know that, 526 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: but you wouldn't know for sure that there are other 527 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: candidates on the GOP side that are not happy that 528 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: Lisa Damuth is getting into the race. 529 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 3: Its just never changes. 530 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: Keeping with the theme of the Twin Cities, we'll go 531 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: to Saint Paul from the Minnesota Daily. Saint Paul might 532 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: become the first of Minnesota city to introduce a new 533 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: gun violence prevention ordinance as part of the coordinated effort 534 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: among several Minnesota cities calling for stronger firearms regulations. The proposal, 535 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: introduced by the city council's October twenty second meeting would 536 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: ban the public possession of assault weapons, large capacity magazine magazines, 537 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: binary triggers all within city limits. It would prohibit untraceable 538 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: ghost guns, restrict firearms in public places such as parks 539 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: and libraries, and require clear signage to inform residents of 540 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: those restrictions. And it has absolutely no possibility of passing 541 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: because the ordinance can't take effect unless the Minnesota legislature 542 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: amends the state's firearm preemption law which prohibits local governments 543 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: from enacting their own gun regulations. And that's never going 544 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: to happen. So welcome to York. A lussile waste of time. 545 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 8: Oh god, average. 546 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 3: Carter said in a press release. 547 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: If the legislature is unable to do something different, local 548 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: leaders will And. 549 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 3: What exactly are you going to do? Get an issue 550 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 3: a proclamation? I mean, what what is it you plan 551 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:18,239 Speaker 3: to do? 552 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: Issue more ordinances that have no legal binding whatsoever. 553 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 3: They're just words. 554 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: Council President Rebecca Knocker said that the initiative is a 555 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: timely call to action. Gun violence is a horrible and 556 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: devastating epidemic in our country and close to home. I know, 557 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: just the just the guns that are just just floating around, 558 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: just shooting at things people. These are all common sense 559 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 1: measures that a vast majority of Americans and Saint Paul residents' support. 560 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: This is something that we know our constituents want to 561 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: be enacted again just words. By passing the law, not 562 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: just in Saint Paul, but in men any other cities 563 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: in the state. Our hope is to really pressure the 564 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: legislature by showing we're not just talking the talk. We 565 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: are chomping at the bit ooh, got a couple of phrases. 566 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: We are lined up at the door. We just need 567 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: the state to open the door. No, you can just 568 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: sit there behind the door. You can knock all you 569 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: one not going to get anywhere. You couldn't even get 570 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: Tim Wallace to call for a special session for fear 571 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: of further exposure of those within his own party that 572 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't get on board with the assault weapons ban large 573 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: capacity magazines. They wouldn't even put together a plan to 574 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: even show the GOP. So I don't think for a 575 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: second that the Minnesota legislature is going to end up 576 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: amending the state's firearm preemption law. It's not going to happen. 577 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: This is all just political theater. Now the city frames 578 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: the ordinance has a message to the state, but some 579 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: gun rights advocates say the move crosses a legal line. 580 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: State law is clear, cities don't have the authority to 581 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: regulate firearms will matter how they try to address it up. 582 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: That is Rob Dorr, Senior vice president of Government Affairs 583 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, in his statement, should 584 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: I be addressing. 585 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 3: Him that way? 586 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Every time he comes on the show, wonder if he cares. 587 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: Senior VP of Government Affairs, it's kind of cool, Nor said, 588 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: any ordinance that violates the state preemption law is void. 589 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: A deferred effective date it doesn't make It doesn't make 590 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 1: an illegal ordinance legal. It just means that taxpayers want 591 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: up putting the bill to defend something that can never 592 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: take effect. 593 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 3: The group calmed the move. 594 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: Political theater at the taxpayer's expense, arguing that the proposal 595 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: diverts funds from real public safety efforts. Rebecca Knocker rejected 596 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: that characterization, saying that public money would only be spent 597 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: if the ordinance were challenged in court. And I loved 598 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: the Minnesota gun owner's response to that quote. Basically, if 599 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: they if they let us break the law, we won't 600 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: have to waste taxpayer money. That's a way to paraphrase 601 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: what she said. We'll only have to spend public money 602 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: defending this if gun owners sue the city. If they 603 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: want to save taxpayer dollars, they can simply. 604 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: Avoid suing us. 605 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: She added, the measure is meant as a pressure tactic, 606 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: not a symbolic gesture. 607 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 3: What pressure. There is no pressure here. 608 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: Oh, look, they as signed the law that has no 609 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: teeth and won't do anything whatsoever. Oh I feel so pressure. 610 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 3: Pressure. 611 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: She went on to say, when my kids are standing 612 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: outside in the cold waiting for me to unlock the car, 613 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: that's not symbolic. 614 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 3: It's pressure to act. What when my kids. 615 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: Are standing outside in the cold waiting for me to 616 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: unlock the car, it's not symbolic. 617 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 3: It's pressure to act. 618 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: Okay, this is something that shows how ready we are 619 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: and it is useful as a pressure tactic even if 620 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: it can't be enacted right away. 621 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 3: Go talk to Tim Walls. He's the one. This is 622 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 3: just a word salad with no subjection. 623 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: He's the one that won't move forward and called the 624 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: special session because he knows it's not going to be 625 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: good for his re election campaign. It's not going to 626 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: be a good look when he has Democrats voting against 627 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: an assault weapons ban and high capacity magazines and whatever 628 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: else they want to do. 629 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 3: And that's all this is here. 630 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: This is nothing more than the leadership in Saint Paul 631 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: putting on a big political theater show saying, look, this 632 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: is what we'll do if they just listen, if they 633 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: just move forward and did this, this is what we 634 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 1: can do. This is all on them. It is pure 635 00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: and utter political theater and it will cost the taxpayers money. 636 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: So good on the Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus for calling 637 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: this out. 638 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 3: If they let us break the law, we won't have 639 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 3: to waste taxpayer money. Yep, that's Minnesota Democrats for you. 640 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for spending time on today's show. 641 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: If you missed any portion of the broadcast, be sure 642 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: to check out the podcast that'll be available very shortly 643 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Brett has assured me of that, 644 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: I can't confirm.
