Well, I 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: didn't get as much sleep last night because I went 3 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: on Fox News and Laura Ingram, which you can check 4 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: out if you're on x at TC News, talker at 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: John j O n j O Injustice, And because of that, 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: I usually don't get enough night's sleep. And then my 7 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: youngest who's working now, but he works late, so he 8 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: gets home and then he likes to stay up and 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: play video games. 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: It was up like at two o'clock in the morning, 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: and I had woken up, and I was like, oh, 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: I got to use the restroom. I know it's his TMI, 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: but and I. 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Go, I lie back down in bed, and then I 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: can hear like footsteps, and I'm going, man, what is 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: going on? I go, I said, the dog would be 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: freaking out if it was anybody else, right, right, so 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, And so finally I got to the point 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: where I'm like, what is what is happening? So I 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: went upstairs and there he is. 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: We're just talking to my buddy. I'm getting ready to 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: go to bed. I'm like, dude, you can't stay up. 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: You can't stay up this late. 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Although it was funny, I hear on Twin City's News 25 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: Talk from the six five to one carpet Next Day 26 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: Install Studios. It had been it's been a couple of 27 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: months since I've done Laura Ingram's show, and I was 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: on pretty consistently, and then we just get with all 29 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: the news that was breaking. Every time they had me scheduled, 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: something else came up. So this was the first time 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: in a long time that I'm gone and I'm watching 32 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: TV with Melinda and I'm just watching the clock because 33 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, I got to leave ahead of time to 34 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: drive downtown, and suddenly I notice. 35 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: Oh, it's dark outside already. 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: Because typically when I go to do Laura, it's still 37 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: really right out. And that's when I got nervous going 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: going downtown. But I see, I love it this time 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: of year. It stays it's you know, gets darker earlier 40 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: and it stays dark later. 41 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: I'm the opposite John, I'll be host you. I don't 42 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: like this still dark outside. It's driving me crazy. By 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: the way, did you have to deal with fog this morning? 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: Coming in? 45 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: Oh? 46 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah?

And then 49 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: what really made it weird for me was when I 50 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 3: got out to the main roadue Cliff Row, where I live, 51 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 3: there was no cars and usually there's some traffic there, 52 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: and all I could think to myself is like, did 53 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: I sleep through the rapture or something like what is 54 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: going on? I didn't see a single car until I 55 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 3: got on to seventy seven. 56 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a. 57 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: Similar experience this morning when I pulled out and this 58 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: was the first time that I'd driven in fog in 59 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: the Bat. 60 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: That's what I'm calling it currently, I'm calling it. I'm 61 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: calling it the Bat. I've been trying to like it. 62 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I've been trying to come up with 63 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: a name. I mean, it's like a gun metal gray 64 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: color and none of the other names for sticking. So 65 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: right now it's the Bat. But I got in the 66 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: Bat this morning and I was driving out and I 67 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: was like, what is going on?

And go, oh, it's 70 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: just fog. And then it was cool because the fog 71 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: was so thick that the headlamps on the car were 72 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: just cutting this really just inked, you know, edge of light. 73 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: It was like so as I moved, it was just 74 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: like I had this calm, this beat, these beams of 75 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: light that were sticking out from the front of my 76 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: from the front of my car. 77 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: Yes, that I was keeeking out on the drive in. 78 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: Let's say, you're living a tron Yeah, yeah, and. 79 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: You can't you can't see you can't see me, but 80 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Sam will tell you that it is.

That makes me. 86 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: That makes the day so much easier. Well, I got 87 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: this show when I got tomorrow, and then I got 88 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: a couple of days off, so that would explain why 89 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: I'm happy. 90 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: War Secretary Pete Hegseth called out those members of Congress 91 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: involved in making the now viral video that openly encouraged 92 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: the United States military to undermine the orders of their 93 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: commander in chief, President Donald Trump. Hegseth labeled the six 94 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: lawmakers the Seditious Six in a post on x in 95 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: which he shared plans for the War Department to investigate 96 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: one of them under the Uniform Military Justice uc MJ. 97 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: The video made by the Seditious Six was despicable, reckless, 98 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: and false, Excepth wrote, encouraging our warriors to ignore orders 99 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 1: of their commanders and undermines every aspect of good order 100 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: and discipline. Their foolish screen sow's doubt and confusion, which 101 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: only puts our warriors in danger. I love me some 102 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: pete hegseth language. In an earlier statement, the Department of 103 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: War announced that it planned to review allegations against Mark Kelly, 104 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: who was still subject to the uc MJ because he 105 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: is a retired naval officer. 106 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: The statement explains the. 107 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain 108 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: the subject of UCMJ four applicable offenses and federal laws 109 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, row or 110 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations 111 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: will be addressed through appropriate legal channels. Mark Kelly has 112 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: been making the rounds. I'm sparing you from the audio. 113 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: He's going on all of the left wing outlets, talking 114 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: all tough, acting like he's a bad a and all 115 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: of this. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was asked about this yesterday. 116 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: Here is what she had to say outside of the 117 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: White House. 118 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 5: The White House is supportive of the Department of Wars 119 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 5: investigation into Senator Mark Kelly, and I think what Senator 120 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 5: Mark Kelly was actually trying to do was intimidate the 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 5: one point three million active duty service members who are 122 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 5: currently serving in our United States Armed Forces with that 123 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 5: video that he and his Democratic colleagues put out. 124 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: Senator Mark Kelly well knows. 125 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 5: The rules of the military and the respect that one 126 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 5: must have for the chain of command, and that all lawful, 127 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 5: all orders, lawful orders are presumed to be legal by 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: our service members. You can't have a fund military if 129 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 5: there is disorder in chaos within the ranks. And that's 130 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 5: what these Democrat members were encouraging. It's very clear, and 131 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 5: not a single one of them, since they've been pressed 132 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 5: by the media, and I'll give you guys credit for that, 133 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 5: can point to a single illegal order that this administration 134 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: has given down because it does not exist. They knew 135 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 5: what they were doing in this video and Senator Mark 136 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 5: Kelly and all of them should be held accountable for. 137 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: That, which is absolutely correct. It's pure propaganda what they're doing. 138 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: They knew exactly what they were doing. This was all scripted, 139 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: this was all planned because they knew what their response 140 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: was going to be. 141 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: And that's fine. I don't have issue with that. I 142 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: have issue with what they said. 143 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: They need to accept the consequences of their actions, but 144 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: I have no problem with their tactic because they knew 145 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: that Trump was going to go and respond. They knew 146 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: exactly what they were doing, and they were hoping that 147 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: this was going to happen. But it doesn't mean you 148 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: don't take action against them, the whole them accountable. 149 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: They're pushing the limits. 150 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: They're pushing the boundaries, so trying to see just how 151 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: far that they can go in their potentially seditious actions. 152 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: And we all get to find out, and Mark Kelly 153 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: gets to find out whether or not he will be 154 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: held accountable for the fact that he still falls under 155 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: these applicable offenses relating to the UCMJ. And as I 156 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: get to some of your comments from the iHeartRadio app. 157 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: Your talkback's brought to you by Lindahl realty. Let me 158 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: just play a portion of this again, because you have 159 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: Representative Reuben Diego out of Arizona. He goes online, says 160 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: blank off to Pete Hegseth in a post, and then 161 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: in his car posts this video and puts it up online. 162 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 6: This is being insane. We shall point out how insane 163 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 6: this is. 164 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: Hey, this is Reben Diego. 165 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 6: I'm traveling through Arizona right now and I just see 166 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 6: them use that Department Defense is starting investigation against my 167 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 6: seat mate, Mark Kelly. This is being insane. We shall 168 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 6: point out how insane this. 169 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: Is is that there's no argument here. It's blanking insane. 170 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: He does no kings, he does fascists, but not once 171 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: does he bother to try to explain his position or 172 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: to get into what he believes is the nu once 173 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: in the language that Mark Kelly and the other five 174 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: members of Congress were using in their video. 175 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: No, it's just an expletive. 176 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: Leyden rant that has no substance whatsoever. 177 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: This is just a word salad with no substance. 178 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 7: What's really bleeping insane is that they didn't bother reading 179 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 7: the Uniform Code of Military Justice or any of the 180 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 7: associated laws about they shouldn't be doing the stuff that 181 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 7: they did, especially if you're a retired military you're still 182 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 7: subject to UCMJ. 183 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: But maybe they did. I mean, this is the part 184 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: of it too. Who's to say they didn't. 185 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: Who's to say that they aren't fully aware of what 186 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: could possibly happen to them. But we also live in 187 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: a world now with activist judges, and we have many 188 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: examples of that. You had an activist judge yesterday that 189 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: dismissed the indictments against Letitia James and let To James 190 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: and James Comy yesterday. Now Pam Bondi has come out 191 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: and said, don't worry, We're still going to go and 192 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: rectify it. And Caroline Levitt said the same thing. We 193 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: have an activist judge here in Hennepin County that has 194 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: tossed out a jury's guilty verdict in a healthcare fraud 195 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: case to the tune of seven point two million dollars. 196 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: So if you're Slot Ken, if you are Mark Kelly, 197 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: perhaps you're just of the opinion that, yeah, they might try, 198 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: they may. 199 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: Try to go after me legally. 200 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: But we've got plenty of activist judges in our back 201 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: pocket that we can go and use to overturn anything 202 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: that they go and throw at us. 203 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 8: Good morning, Don This is chuck from green Isle. Every soldier, airman, 204 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 8: Marie Coastcard are all told and trained multiple times that 205 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 8: they are to refuse illegal orders and there will be 206 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 8: no repercussions. Kelly didn't need to do this, None of 207 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 8: them needed to do this. They were out to cause 208 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 8: division and derision, and they should be held responsible. Goodbye, 209 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 8: Good morning John, pastor Michael. 210 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 9: In regards to these congress people senators sewing division, that 211 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 9: is their intent. And I recall Lincoln saying, you know, 212 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 9: a country divided cannot stand in the same Jesus comments 213 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 9: a house divided cannot, cannot, will crumble. And that's what 214 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 9: they're attempting to do to turn people against Trump at 215 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 9: a deeper level. They won't stop. 216 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: Thank you for the talkbacks from the iHeart Radio app 217 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: much appreciated. All right, so let's go here. Coming up 218 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: local news, the Adyna City Council unveiled the new city 219 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: ordinance that attempts to ban the possession of binary triggers, 220 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: ghost guns, certain gun magazines, and many firearms within the 221 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: city limits. 222 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: Oh but they're stopping. 223 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: Shard of taking action on it because they know that 224 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: they're probably going to get sued. But what they have 225 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: revealed is this is all a big setup. I want 226 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: to explain to you what I believe the Democrats are 227 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: teeing up heading into next year's legislative session. Will get 228 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: to the judge tossing out the guilty verdict in the 229 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: fraud case, and then we'll return to the big topic 230 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: of the week and the continued fallout relating to Trump 231 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: wanting to end the Temporary Protected status for Somali immigrants. 232 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: It's all coming up on Twin Cities News Talk Am 233 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. 234 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, guys. The video that those congressmen and 235 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 10: senator put out is not a PSA for the militaire. 236 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 10: That is meant for the average American citizen who does 237 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 10: it pay a time to the news. They see this 238 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 10: commercial on TV. They hate Donald Trump. They're just looking 239 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 10: for more justification as to why he's evil, and they 240 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 10: got it from these people. So now if they do 241 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 10: something stupid, they go, well, it's verified, I can because 242 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 10: they said so, yep, no. 243 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: You hit the nail on the head, Adam. Thank you 244 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: so much. Good morning, John and Sam. 245 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 8: John, you are correct. 246 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: It's the judges. 247 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 11: It's not these clowns spotting off their mouth. It's the judges. 248 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 11: And until we come to a place in our country 249 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 11: where judges are punished for their activism by being stripped 250 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 11: of their right to sit on the bench, this will 251 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 11: never end and it will only intensify. So we need 252 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 11: to put these judges in their place. 253 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: Well, I think what needs to happen is they do. 254 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: They need to be replaced when we have the opportunity, 255 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: and we need to be focused more on making sure 256 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: that we're putting the proper judges in place, because unfortunately, 257 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: and I understand your sentiment, Scott here on Twin Cities 258 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: News Talk as we continued the show for a tunesday 259 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: during your Thanksgiving week from the six y five to 260 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: one Carpet plus Next Day install studios. The problem is 261 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: that a lot of these judges, they are performing activism 262 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: in their decisions, but they're not technically doing anything wrong. 263 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: There's a system in place. I mean, in the case 264 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: of this story that we'll talk about here, the Hennepen 265 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: County judge tossing out the jury's guilty verdict. 266 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: It does say. 267 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: The Attorney General's office filed an appeal on Monday. Now 268 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't know which Attorney general we're talking about. The 269 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: story from Cara Levin didn't go and specify. But there's 270 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: a process in place here, and the removal of these 271 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: judges is an incredibly difficult thing to do if they 272 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: are not really over the top and egregiously abusing their 273 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: power as opposed to just using their power and abusing it. 274 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: But it simply gets overturned by somebody else. We need 275 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: to make sure that we're paying attention during elections and 276 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: specifically to those judges though those ones that can be 277 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: elected at the local level, but also make sure that 278 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: we continue to elect Republicans to put the right judges 279 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: in place when the time comes. 280 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: All right, let's go here. 281 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: No action was taken on a new ordinance by the 282 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: Dyna City Council during the council's Tuesday night meeting. Instead, 283 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: the council will explore alternative ordinances relating to the ban 284 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: of possession of binary triggers, ghostguns, certain gun magazines, many 285 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: firearms within city limits. 286 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: The dnah's decision. 287 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: To unveil their proposed to ordinance is the latest development 288 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: in the ongoing saga unfolding around municipal firearm regulations. So 289 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: under state law, as you know, local jurisdictions are preempted 290 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: from passing their own gun regulations. In fact, all ordinances 291 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: from local governments that attempted to regulate firearms are void. 292 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Working off an article here from ALF News, the law 293 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: exists to ensure that Minnesota has uniform gun laws throughout 294 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: the state. Given the closely divided nature of the Minnesota legislature, 295 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: additional gun control laws or a repeal of the firearm 296 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: preemption law are almost certainly going nowhere. Despite all of this, 297 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: he Dinah pursued its own firearms ordinance last month. The 298 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: city attorney with the DNA was asked to draft an 299 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: ordinance that regulates firearms, despite his own memo which that 300 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: an ordinance would be invalidated by state law and cost 301 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars to defend in court. So the city attorney 302 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: instead recommended that the Dynasty Council pass a resolution that 303 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: calls on the legislature to change. 304 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: The state law. 305 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: While the city council supported the resolution idea, the city 306 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: attorney was still directed to draft an ordinance. 307 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: Now. 308 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the firearms ordinance was unveiled to during the 309 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: colouncil meeting. The draft ordinance would ban possession and manufacturing, 310 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: or sale or transfer of an assault weapon, large capacity magazine, 311 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: binary trigger, or ghost gun within the city. Additionally, the 312 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: ordinance contains a firearms storage mandate. Now like the Saint 313 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: Paul ordinance, he Dina's proposal ordinance uses the state law 314 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: definition of assault weapon, which includes a wide variety of firearms, 315 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: among them as the AR fifteen. He Dina's ordinance defines 316 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: large capacity magazine as any ammunition feeding device, whether an 317 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: accessory to a firearm or a firearm component that has 318 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: capacity of more than twenty rounds, or is design, marketing, created, 319 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: or assembled to have a capacity of more than twenty rounds. 320 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus alreadysuing Saint pauliver its ordinance, 321 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: had previously warned HEDNA that enactment of the firearms ordinance 322 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: would result in a lawsuit and we're talking about that earlier, 323 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: which means the tax dollars would have to go to 324 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: defend that. When the DNA's draft ordinance was discussed during 325 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: the meeting, the city manager said he could not support 326 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: the ordinance because of the state preemption law and because 327 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: of the unforcable nature of the ordinance. 328 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the city attorney. 329 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: Explained the ordinance would be effective only upon a city 330 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: declaration that the state preemption was lifted. So this is 331 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: where all this is heading. In my opinion, I feel 332 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: like it's all one big setup. We know the gun 333 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: reform is going to be something widely discussed during next 334 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: year's legislative session. The DFL lunatics have made that abundantly clear. 335 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: What I think is happening here is Democrats are teeing 336 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: up an attempt to reverse the state preemption under the 337 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: guise that the cities should decide for themselves what they 338 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: want their gun laws to be. Take away the ability 339 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: of the nature to go and be in the state 340 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: to be the ones to make decisions relating to firearms. Now, 341 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: I'll have to defer to the experts Rob Dor and 342 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: others on whether or not that's even a possibility to 343 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: remove preemption, But that's what it sounds like. That's what 344 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: they're teeing up for to try to get that removed, 345 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: which would end up creating a hodgepodge of firearm regulations 346 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: that would basically change your Second Amendment rights on the 347 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: fly as you travel in and out of various cities. 348 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: It would become an absolute disaster. I think it's clever 349 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: what he Dinah did and going this route instead. But again, 350 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: this seems like it's one big tea up to the 351 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: legislative fight that we know will ensue next year. Now 352 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: I'll get to your comments on this from the iHeartRadio app. 353 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: If you want to chime in on this particular issue. 354 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: And while we wait for those two roll in, Let's 355 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: go ahead and move over to our next story. Hennepin 356 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: County judge tosses out jury's guilty verdict and seven point 357 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: two million dollar home healthcare fraud case. So At the 358 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: August trial for Abdi Fatah Yusef, the jury heard evidence 359 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: that he ran his home a healthcare company promised health 360 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: out of a mailbox on a central Avenue address where 361 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: multiple other healthcare companies were supposedly located. 362 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: He and his wife were charged with stealing. 363 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: Seven point two million dollars of taxpayer money threw the 364 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: Medicaid over billing in a personal care assistant scam. The 365 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: jury swiftly convicted this individual. However, Judges Sarah West last 366 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: week decided the jury got it wrong, overturned the verdict 367 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: and issued a judgment of acquittal. 368 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: I'll bring you details of this story. 369 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: We'll get to your comments as well from the iHeartRadio 370 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: app next here on Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven 371 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: thirty and one o three five FM. 372 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: Twin Cities News Talk. 373 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: AM eleven thirty one oh three five FM. There's a 374 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: reason for the tone in my voice right now. I'll 375 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: share it with you in just a moment. Broadcasting from 376 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: the sixty five to one carpet. Next Day Install Studios 377 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: got a couple of comments that rolled in on the 378 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: previous story that I want to get to. The Dinah 379 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: unveils proposed city ordinance that would ban many firearms and 380 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: certain gun magazines. They have no power to do this. 381 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: They drafted the ordinance, but right now, the way that 382 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: it's framed is that the ordinance would only be effective 383 00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: upon a city declaration that the state preemption was lifted. 384 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: So we're all looking at the state preemption law now, 385 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: which makes these orders by these various cities. Understate law, 386 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: local jurisdictions are preempting from are preempted from passing their 387 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: own gun regulations. In fact, all ordinances from local governments 388 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: that attempt to regulate firearms or avoid This law exists 389 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: to ensure Minnesota has a uniform gun law throughout the state. 390 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: And while there continues to be debate on whether or 391 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: not I should play certain foes of the show talkbacks, 392 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: sometimes when they roll in, they need to be played 393 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: because they're just that inane. 394 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: A moor zeric from Brainerd. 395 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 4: I'm so confused right now again, Maga Republicans tried to 396 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 4: make a patchwork series of laws for the weed laws 397 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 4: and wanted different cities to be able to ban it 398 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 4: and throw you in jail or whatever. But he died 399 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 4: as the same thing with guns and now runs up 400 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 4: in arms. To be honest, you don't need a gun 401 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 4: to go to a cake eatery Dyna. 402 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 8: Bye. 403 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 4: You probably need we because those lifts they are unsufferable. 404 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: Are you are you high now? 405 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not surprised that you started off saying you 406 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: were confused, because your comments don't make any sense. The 407 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: relationship between regulating of recreational marijuana is wholly different than 408 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: the regulation of the possession of firearms that is preempted 409 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: at the state level because of the preemption law. It's 410 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: a big difference between the availability of getting marijuana in 411 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: stores in various cities and going and purchasing it and 412 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: that which you can go and carry on your person 413 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: to defend yourself, and how the laws would basically change 414 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: and immediately make you illegal in one area and then 415 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: you cross over and are now illegal again. 416 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm illegal again again. It's one of those 417 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: circumstances where I go, Do I bother playing those anymore? 418 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 12: Ano? 419 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: There are many of you that enjoy listening to the 420 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: inane comments. All right, let's get some more rational ones. 421 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 13: My hands can hold more than twenty bullets at a time, 422 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 13: because I mean I have to cut them off my 423 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 13: hands are illegal. Now I can load them pretty fast. 424 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 13: Seems not well written. 425 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 2: I have a good day you too, see ridiculous, but 426 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 2: not in a. 427 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 14: Changing the gun laws from city to city is a 428 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 14: very same thing as changing the AI from the federal 429 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 14: government that states the federal government should have that and 430 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 14: the state government should have that. 431 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: That's the way it looks to me. 432 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: Thank you for the talkback on the iHeartRadio Apples are 433 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: brought to you by Lindahl Realty. Get back to the 434 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: Hennepin County judge story tossing out the jury's guilty verdict 435 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: and a seven point two million dollar home health care 436 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: fraud case. You had this abde Fatah Yusef and his 437 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: wife al Ahmed charged with sealing seven point two million 438 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: in taxpayer money through medicaid overbilling in a Personal care 439 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: Assistant PCA scam. The couple allegedly spent tens of thousands 440 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: of dollars of the fraud money on luxury items for 441 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: theirselves for themselves. It was not a difficult decision whatsoever. 442 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: The deliberation took probably four hours at most based off 443 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: of the state's evidence that was presented. It was beyond 444 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: a reasonable doubt according to a jury four person talking 445 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: with Care eleven, But despite that jury's swift ruling convicting Yusef, 446 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: Judge Sarah West last week decided the jury got it wrong, 447 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: overturned the verdict, and issued a judgment of acquittal. Here's 448 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more of the story from Care eleven. 449 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: It's reversing or overturning a jury's verdict. 450 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 15: Defense attorney Joe Tamborino, who's not affiliated with this case, 451 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 15: reviewed the decision and analyzed it for Care eleven News. 452 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 15: He says Judge West ruled that the state's case relied 453 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 15: heavily on circumstantial evidence and that she believed the state 454 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 15: did not rule. 455 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 2: Out other reasonable inferences. 456 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 16: That in fact, there could have been other reasonable theories 457 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 16: other than guilt in this case. 458 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to. 459 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 15: Despite the ruling, even Judge Wes wrote that she is 460 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 15: troubled by the manner in which fraud was able to 461 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 15: be perpetuated at Promise Health. 462 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: I was stunned. 463 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 15: State Representative Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention 464 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 15: and State Oversight Committee, says she's now reviewing if any 465 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 15: state laws need to be tightened. 466 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: We want to strengthen state law so that we can 467 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: get prosecutions out of these cases because clearly a jury 468 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: thought he was guilty. 469 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 2: Jurors in the case can't believe the decision. 470 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 17: I am shocked. The shock based off of all of 471 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 17: the evidence that was presented to us and the obvious 472 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 17: guilt that we saw based off of the set evidence. 473 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 17: It was not a difficult decision whatsoever. The deliberation took 474 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 17: probably four hours at most based off of the state's evidence. 475 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 17: That was presented, I was beyond a reasonable doubt. 476 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 16: The attorney for mister yusseff Ian Burrell, sent me a 477 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 16: statement today that says, in part, Judge West's ruling affirms 478 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 16: what we have maintained from the beginning that our client, 479 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 16: mister Yusuff, was wrongfully accused and did not commit fraud 480 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 16: or racketeering. The Attorney General's Office filed an appeal this afternoon, 481 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 16: so the Minnesota Court of Appeals will take a second 482 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 16: look at this decision. Julie so Lu did mister Tambarino was, 483 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 16: Did he have any kind of emotional reaction? 484 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: And this is pretty stunning. This does not happen. 485 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 16: Yeah, he leaned towards the idea that this was kind 486 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 16: of a one off and that it would have a 487 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 16: good chance at appeal. But the worry is that there's 488 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 16: so many other cases just like it, where somebody's in 489 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 16: the exact same position as mister Yusuf, but is charged 490 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 16: with fraud. And if the judge can determine that maybe 491 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 16: they didn't know that the fraud was going on underneath 492 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 16: them in the case, then other judges could throw it 493 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 16: out just like this one. 494 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: All right, do you know how quickly the Court of 495 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 2: Appeals would take this up and probably months. All right, 496 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: thank you, this is insane. Just call for what it is. 497 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: It's insane. I mean, this looks we had attempts. Let me, 498 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: let me, let me put it this way. We had attempts. 499 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: For witnesses and Feeding our Future to be bribed, and 500 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: they were caught suitcases, you know, duffel bags filled with 501 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: cash for individuals that were testifying to not testify against 502 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: the fraudsters in the Feeding our Future case. Like, the 503 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: story seems like it's the plot of a crime noir 504 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: batman story. What's going on with this judge? And I 505 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: assume this is the state attorney general? So I find 506 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: it interesting that the state attorney general is attempting to 507 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: appeal this ruling. I feel like there's a lot more 508 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: going on here than what we see just on the 509 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: surface level, because none of this, I mean, even from 510 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: an activist judge standpoint, doesn't make any sense. 511 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 2: I mean, even the judge said, the judge herself. 512 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: Had made a comment regarding how you know, despite the ruling, 513 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Judge West wrote that she is troubled by the manner 514 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: in which the fraud was able to be perpetuated at 515 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: Promise Health, and I was thinking maybe there was like 516 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: a technicality in the story that was missed and that's 517 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: why this judge decided to go with this. But that 518 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be the case. 519 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 18: Good morning, John. The Feds need to come into this 520 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 18: CNUP account case immediately. This cannot be allowed to happen. 521 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 18: Federalize all these prosecutions, get this corrupt head up and 522 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 18: county out of our hair. Get the Feds in here asap. 523 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 18: That's the only way. 524 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, and you're actually keying in 525 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: on some commentary that I'm going to share over another 526 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: fraud related story under Governor Tim Walls that we'll get 527 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: to before the top of the hour. But I absolutely 528 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: agree we need some major investigations, if they are not 529 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: already happening into the state of Minnesota. 530 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 19: Good morning, John Paul from Brooklyn Park. So the judges 531 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 19: dismissing the seven point two million dollar fraud case. I 532 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 19: see that the Attorney General is going to be appealing 533 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 19: this decision. Boyd You know, Keith, he's so good on fraud, 534 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 19: you know, so good on charging people, especially ones who've 535 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 19: already been charged and tried by a jury. But this 536 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 19: seems like a campaign move. Absolutely, That's that's my belief anyway. 537 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: Interesting, there's got to be more here. I mean, this 538 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: is beyond the usual activist lunacy that we that we see. 539 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,959 Speaker 20: Yeah, that judgment. What that sounds like to me is 540 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 20: that somebody got a good payoffer, is gonna get one, 541 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 20: and or was threatened. But it also sounds like the 542 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 20: vetgin to come in because obviously the local judiciary is complicit. 543 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 21: And hopefully the judge that overturned the guilty verdict of 544 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 21: fraud is being investigated for fraud themselves searching their bank accounts. 545 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 10: You don't just overturn or ruling like that or. 546 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 21: A judgment like that without receiving some sort of benefit themselves. 547 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 21: I've got. 548 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: Just two points on this case that mist the fraud. 549 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 17: Point. 550 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: One to judge that I'm gonna stop it here just 551 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: because the quality of the talkback isn't isn't arable. But 552 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: let me go ahead and read the transcript, he says. 553 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: One the judge said, is too much circumstantial evidence. Don't judges, 554 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: when evidence is presented, if it is circumstantial, strike it 555 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: down then so the jury knows it's circumstantial and number two, 556 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: we've seen the past fraud cases like this millions of 557 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: dollars to access and then it got cut off there. 558 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: So, but he makes a good point. 559 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: I was also under the impression that typically this gets 560 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: taken care of in terms of circumstantial evidence during the 561 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: actual trial. 562 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 8: Hey, good morning. 563 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 12: Maybe we need to make a video with some of 564 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 12: us in the criminal justice system that we can defy 565 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 12: unlawful judges orders such as the one that you're just highlighting. 566 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea, all right, Before we move 567 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 1: on to some other topics here, we're going to keep 568 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: with the theme of fraud. I do want to get 569 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: to a few of your thoughts from Eric in a 570 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: Brainerd's comments from earlier trying to make a correlation between 571 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: the recreational marijuana laws based off the cities and the 572 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: DYNA Saint Paul wanting to craft their own city based 573 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: gun control ordinances, which flies directly in the face of 574 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: the state prehemption, which means they basically cannot do this. 575 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: Let's get to some of your thoughts. 576 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 20: Hey, genius up there and Brainerd, Eric, what amendment on 577 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 20: the Constitution is the weed amendment? 578 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: I forgot could you let us know. Please, Hi, this 579 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: is chuck from Greenile again. 580 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 22: The right to keep the bear arms is preempted by 581 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 22: the constitution in the state. Shouldn't even make any laws 582 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 22: about it. But that's a fight for another day. These 583 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 22: guys are way off base thinking they can do this 584 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 22: to scare people. So yeah, we got a fight. Take 585 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 22: care about that. Have a great day, and thank you. 586 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: Many of you pointed out the issue as it relates 587 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: to the Second Amendment that protects right your right to 588 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: keeping bear arms, that thing called the Constitution. Here's one more, 589 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: all right, here's my opinion on playing Phil and Eric. 590 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: Okay, keep playing on. It makes me feel so much smarter. 591 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: All right, there you go. Tim has spoken. 592 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: Republicans that represent Minnesota, both federally and within the state 593 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: legislature are calling on US Attorneying Daniel Rosen to investigate 594 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: what they are calling fraud that is winding up in 595 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: the hands of overseas terrorist organizations. Representative Tom Emer was 596 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: one of the co signers, along with Michelle Fischbach, Representative 597 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: Brad Finstad, Pete Stauber, urging the US Attorney Rosen to 598 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: conduct an open investigation into reports that Minnesota taxpayer dollars 599 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: are ending up in the hands of the al Shabab 600 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: terrorist network in some all. Yet more specifically, the letters 601 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: says that it is alleged that Minnesota Samali community has 602 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: been sending millions back to somll you through an informal 603 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: money trafficking scheme. The letter cites a report from the 604 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: right leaning think tank Manhattan Institute. Locally, members echoed the 605 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,439 Speaker 1: same sentiment and a statement co signed by Minnesota House 606 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 1: of Representative Speaker Lisa Damuth and the House Republican floor 607 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: leader Harry Nisk along with the group of House Republicans, 608 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: I call for a similar investigation. So you're please, and 609 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: I echo those for a federal investigation into what's taking 610 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,760 Speaker 1: place here in Minnesota. 611 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 2: They're not going unheard. Now. 612 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: How much power this has remains to be seen. By 613 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: the way, I need to make a point of clarification. 614 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: I was talking about Reuben Diego earlier. I called him 615 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: a representative. He's actually a senator. Typically I feel really 616 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: bad when I go and make a mistake like that, 617 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: but in Diego's case, not so much. But he is 618 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: a senator. Just so we're clear now, when it comes 619 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 1: to the Democrats' view of the controversy relating to not 620 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: only taxpayer dollars being sent overseas to fun terrorist organizations, 621 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: but also Trump's desire to remove the Temporary Protected Status. 622 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about any of the fraud 623 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. Minnesota attorney Keith Ellison suggested 624 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: Monday that his office may be prepared to file a 625 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: lawsuit if President Donald Trump moves forward with the promise 626 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: to remove some all of you from the list of 627 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: countries covered by Temporary Protected Status program. What a huge 628 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: waste of time. I mean, even if Ellison were to 629 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: go and do that, the TPS is expiring in one 630 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen days. It's up on March seventeenth, So 631 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: by the time they even got anywhere on this, Trump's 632 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: just gonna let it expire anyhow. But that being said, 633 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: Ellison will probably just go and file another lawsuit over 634 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: Trump allowing TPS to go and expire. I mean, right now, 635 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: he's got it down to a t what Ellison has 636 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: tried to sue Trump some what thirty two times or 637 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: something like this already. I mean, they probably just have 638 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: a one, you know, one specific forum where they just 639 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: swap out whatever the issue is, make it really easy. 640 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 2: They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you 641 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 2: heard about that problem? 642 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 23: Now? 643 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: The State Democrats pushing back on these efforts to turn 644 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: General Keith Ellison says it's racism and morally wrong. Still 645 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: has absolutely nothing to say regarding the fraud that's attached 646 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: to all of this ensuing controversy. 647 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 24: In same as ever, he wants us pointing figures at 648 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 24: each other while he and his cronies run a scam 649 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 24: on America, swindling your tax dollars, accepting four hundred million 650 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 24: dollar planes, denying the Epstein files, anything to stop from 651 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 24: focusing on. 652 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 2: The matters at hand. 653 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 24: So my office is looking at every option on the 654 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 24: table to push back against this threat. And because this 655 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 24: isn't this first time Trump has tried a tactic like this, 656 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 24: there are some good examples we can follow. Multiple efforts 657 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 24: to cancel TPS holders, and the first Trump term, we're 658 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 24: successfully litigated. Those lawsuits continue to defend TPS holders this 659 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 24: time around. Recently, a lawsuit to protect Syrian refugees from 660 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 24: a very similar executive order is making good progress through 661 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 24: the courts right now, and we're keeping a close eye 662 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 24: on that. Most importantly, we're not going to turn our 663 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 24: backs on our neighbors. But because of course, Somali immigrants 664 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 24: are good for Minnesota, just like mung immigrants are good 665 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 24: for Minnesota. Mexican immigrants are good for Minnesota. German, Italian, 666 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 24: Irish Norwegian immigrants are good for Minnesota. 667 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 2: And Innitionabe and. 668 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 24: To go To people are good for Minnesota. 669 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 2: They are together. What makes us us. 670 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 24: Weaponizing negative stereotypes and racism against our neighbors is morally raw. 671 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 24: It has no place in our state, no place in 672 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 24: our law, and no place in public discourse around protecting 673 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 24: people from the most dangerous conditions on the planet. 674 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: I posted this video up on ex sat TAC news 675 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: talker at John Justice, and it's kind of funny. He 676 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: needs to get a smaller podium next time. He could 677 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: barely see over it. I do agree with him on 678 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: some points on here. When he listed off all of 679 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: the various people that are good for Minnesota, he's not wrong. 680 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: There's actually a lot of some other people that are 681 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: good for Minnesota as well. But it doesn't mean that 682 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: suddenly you're off the hook when it comes to one 683 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: committing acts of fraud. And that's for every single different 684 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: demographic that he laid out in his little spiel there. 685 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: And when it comes to temporary protected status, it's temporary 686 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 1: for a reason. It was set to expire in again 687 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty days from now and probably wasn't 688 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: going to be renewed because there's no reason for it 689 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: any more. The individuals, even though it's only a couple hundred, 690 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: if they are still under that category and haven't done 691 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: what's necessary to get out from under that category, that 692 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: is on those individuals. But this prevailing attitude that though 693 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: this is an attack on some only community, No, it's 694 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: pointing to the specifics relating to the ramp and fraud 695 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: that is taking place here in the state of Minnesota 696 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: and ways that we go and need to go and 697 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: address it. You know, when it comes to Attorney General 698 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: Keith Ellison, I'm not surprised at all by what he 699 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: had to say. He's not concerned about fraud. He's more 700 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: concerned about the individuals who are swept up in the fraud, 701 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: and he's made that known in his own statements regarding 702 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: that very issue. Ilhan Omar also chimed up regarding the 703 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: TPS here's a bit of what she had to say. 704 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: It's short, don't worry. 705 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 23: So we are sick and tired of the president waking 706 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 23: up one day and deciding to put forth falsehoods and 707 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 23: demonize whole communities, while the ignorant people that support him then. 708 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 2: Take the lies that he's spreading and use it as 709 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 2: a fact. 710 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: There's a really interesting parallel to what is taking place 711 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: right now with this issue relating to the fraud being 712 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: conducted by the most part in one particular community. It's 713 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: a fraction of that community. Many people have gone and 714 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: pointed that out, and they're correct. You handle the problem 715 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: of fraud by simply holding people accountable for breaking the law, 716 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: regardless what their background is. 717 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 2: But it doesn't diminish the fact that there is. 718 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: A majority of one particular demographic that is involved in this. 719 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,919 Speaker 1: And we could get the problem if leadership within those 720 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: communities would speak up to address that particular fact while 721 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: calling out the fraud. But instead this gets used for 722 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: political purposes without addressing any of the fraud on the left, 723 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: and it's very similar to what's taking place with this 724 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 1: seditious six. The video of these six elected officials telling 725 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: military to go and ignore illegal orders that don't exist. 726 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: Other individuals will then go and say when military action 727 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: takes place like in Venezuela, those are illegal orders, in 728 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: which case suddenly now it begins to make sense why 729 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: those individuals went and made that video, those elected Democrat 730 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: members of Congress. The reason I put these two together 731 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: is because how do you go and approach it? As 732 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the show, Trump could just ignore 733 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: that video and not make a big deal. So could 734 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: Pete Eggs at the Secretary of War. And it may 735 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: not make any difference and not give it more attention. 736 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: And our military will still do the right thing because 737 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: they are trained to do the right thing. But that's 738 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: not the right thing to do. And yeah, they're baiting 739 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: the Trump administration by making a video like that, And 740 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: this is what's happening here with the issue of what's 741 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: taking place. 742 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 2: Now. 743 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: You're not going to hear Democrats like Ellison ilhan Omar 744 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: and I don't even think Governor Tim Walls has chimed 745 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: to end on this at all as of late. And 746 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: you know that they're not going to do that because 747 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: this is how they want to continue to win elections. 748 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: The only economic metric in which the state of Minnesota 749 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: had a net positive gain between twenty nineteen and twenty 750 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: twenty four was when it came. 751 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 2: To population growth. 752 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: That population growth was in the plus category for one 753 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: reason and one reason alone. We have more individuals leaving 754 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: the state than ever, but we also have more individuals 755 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: that are immigrating to the state more than ever. And 756 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: the number of individuals who have immigrated to the to 757 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: the state of to the country, and specifically into Minnesota 758 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: from other countries was some ninety four percent of that 759 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: population growth. People come here for various reasons, some good, 760 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: some bad, much in the same way that people would 761 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,879 Speaker 1: come into the country illegally for. 762 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 2: Some good reasons and some bad reasons. 763 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: We need to make sure, though, that we're holding the 764 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: individuals that come here to the state for bad reasons 765 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: accountable when they go and conduct their illegal criminal behavior. 766 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: But things have gotten so bad here in Minnesota that 767 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: even when we do that, when a couple commits seven 768 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: point two million dollars in fraud through home care services 769 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: and Medicaid dollars and spends that money on lavish vacations, jewelry, 770 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: and automobiles, convicted swiftly by a jury you have an 771 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 1: activist judge that throws it out. That's how bad things 772 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 1: have gotten here in Minnesota. As far as as if 773 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: when you drive across the border coming in from another state, 774 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: you know, most states would have a mentality, a tourism 775 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: mantra of open for business in our state when you 776 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: come here into Minnesota. Instead that sign says welcome to Minnesota, 777 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 1: open for fraud. It's gotta be the worst in the country. 778 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 1: It has to be at this point in time. So 779 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 1: let's no wonder that Governor Tim Wallas has been silent 780 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: on all of this since it broke. That's why I 781 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: continue to say he needs to resign. I know he's 782 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: not going to, but he should. A good leader would. 783 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: I said as much last night on Laura Ingram that 784 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: any CEO running a corporation that had a fraction of 785 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: the baggage and corruption and fraud take place for their 786 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: company under the watch of that ceo, they would have. 787 00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 2: Been out a long time ago. 788 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of the governor, Gubernatorial candidate Philip Parrish will join 789 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: me next here on Twin City's News Talk Am eleven 790 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: thirty and one on three five FM.
