No one will ever forget there 32 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 8: were people on that train. No one will ever forget 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 8: the expression of terror on IRENA's face. She looked up 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 8: at her attacked her in the last seconds of her life. 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 7: She died instantly. 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 8: She had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 8: by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America, 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 8: came in through open borders, Miss Zareska. Tonight, I promise 39 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 8: you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irena. 40 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 7: How do you not stand? 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: How do you not stand? 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 8: I'm asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 8: that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars 44 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 8: and importantly that they stay there. 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 5: We trimmed down the audio to take out the applause 46 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 5: lines because they go on forever during the State of 47 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 5: the Union. I mean, you could probably could wrap this 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 5: thing up in twenty minutes if you just took out 49 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 5: all the applause lines. But in the middle of that 50 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 5: of President Donald Trump calling for justice for Irena Zarutzka, 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 5: Democrats again refused to stand. There was one moment apparently 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: when Elizabeth Warren was clapping along and I think I 53 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 5: have the audio clip to share with you in a 54 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 5: moment regarding insider training. But that was one of the 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 5: few times that you actually saw Democrats show any sort 56 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 5: of dignity, common sense, a willingness to be bipartisan. 57 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 4: In any way, shape or form. 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 5: This was the moment of the screeching between Ilhan Omar 59 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 5: and Rashida to leib. 60 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 8: And you should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. 61 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 7: You should be ashamed of yourself. 62 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 9: That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly 63 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 9: sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 9: for public officials who block the removal of criminal Alans 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 9: in many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country. 66 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 9: They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country. 67 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 7: And you should be ashamed of your saying. 68 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 5: You know, the leftists are all always saying that Trump 69 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 5: and other Republicans are just lying. 70 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: Okay, prove the lies. How can they never have to 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: prove anything because there's no demand for it on the left. 72 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 5: There's no outrage, there's no outcry, there's barely any media scrutiny, 73 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 5: putting Democrats in a position where essentially they would have 74 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 5: to be forced to go and do something like that, 75 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 5: prove the lies that they are telling. 76 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: And again before the State of the Union. 77 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 5: After the State of the Union, all that you heard 78 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 5: from those on the left, the dozens of individuals who 79 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 5: were tasked with providing the rebuttal to the State of 80 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 5: the Union was I know, you just heard a lot 81 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: of stuff, but don't believe. 82 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: Any of it. Only believe our reality. 83 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 5: But wherein Trump spent that record amount of time laying 84 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 5: out the truth facts, specificity details. The Democrats, to the 85 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 5: Talkbacker's point, have absolutely none of that. And the same 86 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 5: thing rings true with the left's attempts here in Minnesota 87 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 5: to keep immigration on the front burner. All of these 88 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 5: stories of individuals being stalked, almost being killed by ice 89 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 5: over and over again, and yet none of this comes 90 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: with any footage whatsoever. And then even when you challenge 91 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 5: somebody on the left, I actually engaged with an individual 92 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 5: on X yesterday. 93 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: I was in the mood. 94 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 5: So if the mood strikes, and I can handle going 95 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 5: back and forth with somebody in that moment and not 96 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 5: get overly annoyed and to take my good mood away, 97 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 5: I'll do that. But somebody was making the claim once 98 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 5: again of ice stalking children around bus stops and schools, 99 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 5: and you have Democrats, the DFL and the legislature attempt 100 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 5: to go and craft bills to push back on all 101 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 5: this nonsense, but there's never any evidence. And then when 102 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 5: they try to go and challenge me and they provide videos, 103 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 5: what do they they provide the bunny hat child to 104 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 5: the illegal alien whose father abandoned him and ran away 105 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 5: when ice was there, That was completely debunked. 106 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 4: And then all of these. 107 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 5: Views that people have, or these stories that people have 108 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 5: of ice circling around schools and providing this chilling effect, 109 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 5: but there's no action taken there's never any video footage 110 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 5: of any ice vehicles anywhere nearby doing such a thing, 111 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 5: and even if there were, I thought that being an observer. 112 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: Was perfectly legal and fine. 113 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: I mean, that's all that the agitators on the streets 114 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 5: have been doing, right, They've just been going and observing 115 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 5: everything that was taking place. So again, going back to 116 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: what the talkbacker asked, Democrats don't have to provide the truth. 117 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 5: It's not necessary. Thesis simply doesn't care. They just want 118 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 5: to score political points and they don't care how they 119 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 5: do it. 120 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 10: John, This was absolutely ridiculous. Just see what happened last 121 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 10: night at the State of the Union. I am today 122 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 10: sitting here thinking that I have never had more hatred 123 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 10: towards a political party than I do today, and I 124 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 10: don't like to feel this way. But that was absolutely 125 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 10: disgusting and it shouldn't ever happen again. 126 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 5: No, I completely agree, But at the same time, I'm 127 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 5: glad that it did because a lot of casual normies 128 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 5: to politics saw exactly what the Democrat Party represents right now, 129 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 5: nothing but a bunch of screeching, rudderless rage individuals who 130 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 5: continue to deal with their Trump derangement syndrome. 131 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 4: Donald Trump and his looming orange face. 132 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 5: Before I get back to a few more clips from 133 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: last night, I State of the Union, I do want 134 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 5: to provide an opportunity for Front of the Show Tom. 135 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 5: Let's a talkback last hour and there was another comment 136 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: a talkback that rolled in challenging him a bit in 137 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 5: his commentary regarding his shock in the way that Democrats 138 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: are going and presenting themselves. I don't want to put 139 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 5: words into his mouth, so I do want to provide 140 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 5: the opportunity for Friend of the Show Tom to respond 141 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 5: to that talkbacker from last hour. 142 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 6: Regarding the response to my talkback, I don't believe I 143 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 6: expressed surprise at this person's words. On the contrary, have 144 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 6: come to expect it. My point was more than this 145 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 6: idiot and the cheering throngs of sickophants are oblivious to 146 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 6: their own irony. 147 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 4: I agree with the talkbacker. 148 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 6: The culture will only change if we take it back, 149 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 6: but that would entail sane people running for office.

I would rather have the state of 351 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 5: the Unions play out this way. I would rather have 352 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 5: Democrats go and show their true colors.

Kind of 416 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 20: seems odd to me. Maybe the increased enforcement down the 417 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 20: streets seems to deter crime. Maybe the Democrats should maybe 418 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 20: notice that. 419 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 5: Well, they noticed that, They're just going to ignore it. 420 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: And you're absolutely right.

To 428 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 5: your point, though, story I did not talk about yesterday, 429 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 5: but we have an update.

This 443 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 5: was clearly a defensive posture in the comments because you 444 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 5: were thinking exactly the same thing that I was thinking. 445 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 5: Should this person have been let out on bail? Especially 446 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 5: now in hindsight, considering that when you look at the timeline, 447 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 5: within a matter of hours, he went and murdered people, allegedly. 448 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 4: Our office noted. 449 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 6: So. 450 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 5: The Hennepin County Attorney's Office spokesperson a public safety risk 451 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 5: with mister Duncan and asked the judge to set bail 452 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 5: at seventy thousand or thirty five thousand dollars with conditions, 453 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 5: both of which are higher than we typically would request 454 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 5: in this scenario. 455 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 4: The judge set the bail in that amount. 456 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 5: Mister Duncan posted thirty five thousand dollars with the condition 457 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 5: of release as is allowed into the Minnesota constitution, and 458 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 5: was released from custody. Mister Duncan is then alleged to 459 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 5: have killed two of his cousins, so bail was set 460 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 5: for Duncan.

There's a 544 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 22: bunch of BS on TV and stuff. Everything's pretty much 545 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 22: back to normal where I am.

But that is a 550 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 5: really good reminder of when we see these violent events 551 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 5: play out in other cities, in other countries. In this case, 552 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 5: and it looks as if all h double hockey sticks 553 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 5: is breaking out and the entire country is on fire, 554 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 5: it's typically resigned to a isolated area. I mean this 555 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,959 Speaker 5: rang true when it came to Operation Metro Surgeon, all 556 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 5: the protests that were taking place, and when I was 557 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 5: doing many of these appearances around the country, you could tell, 558 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 5: I could tell based off the questioning that the perception 559 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 5: that people had was that the entirety of Minneapolis was 560 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 5: now in the throes of protest or going back to 561 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 5: the George Floyd riots, when the reality isn't just an 562 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 5: observation that when you see these events unfold, while they 563 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,719 Speaker 5: are horrible and they're bad, and there was a lot 564 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 5: of danger for those vacationing in these resort to areas 565 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 5: in Mexico, it really was, you know, the smaller locations. 566 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 5: Later on, a little over an hour from now, Luke Sprinkle, 567 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 5: Alpha News will be joining us to give us an 568 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 5: update on the legislative session. I have a few items 569 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 5: that will share before before that. Speaking of Alpha News, 570 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 5: Liz Colin just posted this up online on X. The 571 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 5: FBI has issued a post as of one hour ago. 572 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 4: Let me let's make a look assume when this was ye, 573 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 4: this is this morning. 574 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 5: The FBI and our federal and local partners are executing 575 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 5: search and arrest warrants this morning throughout the Twin Cities 576 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 5: area in connection with violent drug trafficking organization. Details will 577 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 5: be provided later today. There is no threat to public safety, 578 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 5: so we're I'll keep an eye on this throughout the 579 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 5: show this morning and see what else gets posted. If 580 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 5: you're not following Liz Collin and Alpha News on X, 581 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 5: you certainly I need to do that, especially to keep 582 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 5: up the speed when announcements like this get made. I 583 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 5: can't help but think that this wasn't a preemptive move 584 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 5: by federal law enforcement agencies to get out of head 585 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 5: of what would assuredly be events that Democrats would attempt 586 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 5: to go and take advantage of as examples of Operation 587 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 5: Metro Surgeres and overlook at all these federal agents that 588 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 5: are out arresting individuals wherein the FBI is saying there's 589 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 5: a drug trafficking operation and arrest warrants are being executed 590 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 5: throughout the Twin Cities this morning, so I imagine we'll 591 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 5: probably be talking about this at length on tomorrow show 592 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 5: here on Twin Cities News Talk. So yesterday and an 593 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 5: Annunciation survival a survivor told lawmakers they have a duty 594 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 5: to protect us from guns. Joining Governor Tim Walls and 595 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 5: others during this press conference was Lydia Kaiser, an Annunciation 596 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 5: Catholic school student who survived the shooting last year. Lydia 597 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 5: survived but was seriously injured when the gunmen opened fire 598 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 5: during Wednesday during that Wednesday morning mass at Annunciation. Listen, 599 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 5: and it's got to be incredibly difficult for a person 600 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 5: of this age to have gone through such a traumatic experience. 601 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 5: I'm not surprised that Lydia Kaiser is out in front 602 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 5: along with dfllers pushing for baction on guns. It's probably 603 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 5: been told this that it could actually go and do 604 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 5: something by the adults around her. Through no fault of 605 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 5: her own, Kaiser made a plea to lawmakers to take 606 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 5: action on gun violence, telling them it's their duty to 607 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 5: protect them. All children have the right to live free 608 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 5: from gun violence in schools, churches, and our community, said Kaiser. 609 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 5: Elected officials have a duty to protect us from guns. Okay, 610 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 5: one should have to go through what we went through 611 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 5: an annunciation unless she's not wrong, but it happens. Of course, 612 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 5: all children have a right to live free from gun 613 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 5: violence in schools, churches, in our communities. I wish there 614 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 5: were adults around this particular student that could explain to 615 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 5: them that we need to shore up security at schools 616 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 5: because they're soft targets that allowed this individual to go 617 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 5: and commit the heinous act that he committed. That it's 618 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 5: not just about the guns, it's about the people as well. 619 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 5: But Democrats want to avoid that this is gun violence. 620 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with the individuals involved. They 621 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 5: want all the focus as if if we go and 622 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 5: ban all the weapons, then we could go and take 623 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 5: care and do something about this problem. I wish that 624 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 5: there were adults around her that were making this point. 625 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 5: I had a friend of mine, and I'll keep her 626 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 5: anonymous because I didn't ask her permission. She sent me 627 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 5: a friend of the show also listens to some of 628 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 5: my other podcasts, but direct message to me and said 629 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 5: the exploitation of child's of child deaths in the name 630 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 5: of gun legislation is wild to me. A mother at 631 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 5: my kid's school suffocated her four year old son with 632 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 5: a plastic bag. 633 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 4: Everyone is saying that she has. 634 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 5: Mental illness, but nobody is suggesting that we take away 635 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 5: the plastic bags. And I'm looking at the story white 636 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 5: right here. Women forty three charged with murder after her 637 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 5: daughter finds four year old brothers suffocated to death out 638 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 5: of Florida. Oh, it's a fantastic point. And I would 639 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 5: put this individual, by the way, I would put this 640 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 5: individual in that category of what I was mentioning earlier 641 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 5: regarding the state of the Union address. You know, may 642 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 5: listen to my show, somewhat listens to my Star Wars 643 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 5: podcasts and more casual regarding politics, but uses common sense 644 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 5: and is rational, and with what we saw on display 645 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 5: last night, it could have an impact on an individual 646 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 5: like this or others. 647 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 4: Who may be in the middle. 648 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 5: As Andrew Langer says so often on the show, you know, 649 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 5: it's about moving small groups of people one way or another. Now, 650 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 5: getting back to the attempts to strip away your Second 651 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 5: Amendment rights, I want to remind everybody don't forget. Walls 652 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 5: showed through his cowardice actions that he really doesn't care 653 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 5: about this issue. Remember the governor threatened to call a 654 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 5: special session focused on gun violence in the direct aftermath 655 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 5: of that Annunciation shooting. However, that special session never came 656 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 5: to fruition. Democrats never presented anything tangible in terms of 657 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 5: a bill for Republicans to go and look at. You 658 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 5: had out of session hearings in the Senate that were 659 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 5: held on gun violence didn't make any progress because of 660 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 5: what I just mentioned. So for Governor Tim Walls to 661 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 5: suddenly pop up now pushing for this, I know the 662 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 5: session has started. I get it, and there's a time 663 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 5: and place for it. I'm not surprised at the timing 664 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 5: on this at all. But again, through his own actions, 665 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 5: he's shown he doesn't really care about the issue until 666 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 5: there's a political benefit for Democrats to go and move 667 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 5: it forward. If he did, he would have called that 668 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 5: special session and he would have gotten Democrats on record 669 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,439 Speaker 5: with how they felt about it. You know, the good 670 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 5: news is with the divided House, and it continues to 671 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 5: demonstrate why elections are so important. There's very little likelihood 672 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 5: that these gun legislative bills, regardless of what happens in 673 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 5: the Senate where the DFL does have some control, or 674 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 5: going to get any further. So let's dive into this. 675 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 5: We'll start here, we'll carry it over the top of 676 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 5: the hour. I'm working off of comments from the Minnesota 677 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 5: Gun Owner's Caucus and I thank you in a shout 678 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 5: out hat tip to them for continuing to post this 679 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 5: stuff online. 680 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 4: So how it all started? Yesterday? 681 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 5: Yesterday the Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus had posted our friend 682 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 5: and ally Hannah Hill was not allowed to testify at 683 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,760 Speaker 5: the House Public Safety Committee today on the semi auto 684 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 5: and magazine band despite being one of the top litigators 685 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 5: on two A issues in the United States. Hannah what 686 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 5: have explained in her testimony in no uncertain terms how 687 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 5: these bills are unconstitutional and would face immediate legal challenges. Now, 688 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 5: Hannah went and posted online referencing the Minnesota Gun Owners 689 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 5: Caucus in their comments, saying that I was one of 690 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 5: the rejected testifiers since they don't want to hear it 691 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 5: in committee. 692 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 4: I'll say it here. 693 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 5: Pass this law and you'll have so many lawsuits before 694 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 5: the ink gets dry. You'll help gun owners score an 695 00:39:54,840 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 5: eighth circuit win and a circuit split on gun bands. Now, then, uctually, 696 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 5: how it started, How it went? These individuals brought in 697 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 5: by the Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus were able to go 698 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 5: and provide their commentary, So we'll start here with comments 699 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 5: from a Hannah Hill yesterday in Saint Paul. 700 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 24: I would also like to address Governor Wallas's comments that 701 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 24: only the gun industry is testifying here today. We had 702 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 24: national experts and everyday Minnesotans who are denied both the 703 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 24: ability to speak here today as well as submitting written 704 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 24: testimony over technicalities such as hyperlinks. 705 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 25: And their documents. 706 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 24: One of these experts, Amy Swear, who has denied testimony, 707 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 24: is here today with physical copies of her testimony. Full 708 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 24: of data in facts available for you all House File 709 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 24: three four zero two and House File three four three three. 710 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 25: Also our policy mismatch. 711 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 24: Minnesota's twenty twenty four homicide data shows one hundred and 712 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 24: seventy criminal homicide victims statewide. 713 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 25: Rifles. 714 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 24: All rifles, whether for hunting, target practice, or what you 715 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 24: call an assault weapon, were used in three of those cases. 716 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 25: Rifle homicides are rare. 717 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 24: Annunciation itself involved multiple firearms, a rifle, shotgun, and two handguns. 718 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 24: Targeting one style of firearm solely based on cosmetic and 719 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,760 Speaker 24: ergonomic factors does not remove intent. 720 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 25: Or prevent substitution. 721 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 24: The deadliest attack on the school in our nation's history 722 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 24: was not done with a firearm. It was done with 723 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 24: a bomb. And the deadliest school shooting was done with 724 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 24: two handguns, not rifle. Even if prohibitions somehow eliminated the 725 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 24: things you're trying to ban, it would not keep our 726 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 24: kids safe. Our communities deserve better than the partisan symbolic 727 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 24: measures offered here today. We can invest in measures that 728 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 24: have broad bipartisan support, measures that intervene upstream, long before 729 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 24: any form of danger manifest We respectfully urge you to 730 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 24: oppose House File three four zero two and Housepile three 731 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 24: four three three, and pursue solutions that are constitutional, practical, 732 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 24: and demonstratably effective. 733 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 4: Thank you now. 734 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 5: Governor Tim Walls and DFL leaders were pushing these new 735 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 5: gun restrictions. Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus chair Brian Strausser made 736 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 5: it clear criminals won't carry liability insurance, criminals won't obey 737 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,399 Speaker 5: campus gun bans. Law abiding citizens will be the only 738 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 5: ones who are punished. House Democrats initially had limited the 739 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 5: testimony on the so called assault style weapon band doing 740 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 5: nothing with my fingers, and then claimed opposition is just 741 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 5: the gun lobby. However, Representative Greenman's bill would require gun 742 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 5: owners to allow law enforcement home inspections to keep their firearms. 743 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 5: That's not just a Second Amendment problem. Working off of 744 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 5: this post from the Minnesota Gunners Caucus, it's. 745 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 4: A Fourth Amendment problem. 746 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 5: The GOP caucuses have indicated that they're united in opposition. 747 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 5: So another individual who was eventual really allowed to speak 748 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 5: was Amy Swearer. She's from the Advancing American Freedom flew 749 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 5: all the way to Minneapolis to testify on the semi 750 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 5: auto rifle band, just for Democrats to block her initially 751 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 5: from testifying on a technicality. Here is what she had 752 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 5: to say prior to then eventually being able to go 753 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 5: and testify. 754 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm here in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the Minnesota 755 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: state Capital. My good friends over at Minnesota Gun Owner's 756 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: Caucus and invited me to come out fly out here 757 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: testify with them about a couple of gun bills that 758 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,720 Speaker 1: we're supposed to be having some hearings on later today. 759 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: As you guys know, most of the time when I testify, 760 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: Democrats try to do whatever they can to interrupt me 761 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: to make sure that I'm not out here speaking the. 762 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:50,919 Speaker 4: Truth, getting the facts out there. 763 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: I got to hand it to Minnesota Democrats. 764 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 4: They have just. 765 00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: Attempted to pull the most unhinged stunt I have ever experienced, 766 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: because I looked up to an email this morning in 767 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: which they told me that they are rejecting my testimony. 768 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: They're not going to allow me to testify today. They're 769 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: not even going to post my written submission. And the 770 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: reason that they gave hand to God. I will post 771 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: this email because this is unhinged. The reason they they're 772 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,959 Speaker 1: rejecting my testimony is that the written submission this right here, 773 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: the email version of this contained hyperlinks. 774 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 7: Guys. 775 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: They're refusing to let me testify because they looked at 776 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: my testimony and said there are too many facts with 777 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 1: too many sources that I made too easily accessible to 778 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: the lawmakers who are supposed to be reading this. And 779 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: I honestly, Minnesota Democrats woke up had a real one this. 780 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 4: Morning, because that is ifsane. 781 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: So we're going to post my testimony below. I don't 782 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: no whether or not I'm actually going to get to 783 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: testify today. 784 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 5: Now she eventually did get to testify, we'll have some 785 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 5: of that commentary to share with you. Coming up next 786 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 5: hour here on Twin Cities News Talk and we'll continue 787 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 5: to give you an update on what's been happening during 788 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 5: the legislative session, and we'll hear from you from the 789 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,879 Speaker 5: iHeartRadio app. 790 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 4: This morning. 791 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 5: Your talkback's brought to you by Lyndahl Realty here on 792 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 5: Twin Cities News Talking Am eleven thirty and one oh 793 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 5: three five FM. 794 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 13: Hey John, great show. Is always one point on the 795 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 13: gun control stuff. Nobody can buy a gun if they 796 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 13: smoke marijuana in this country. And most of these shooters, 797 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 13: including the one that the Denunciation Church, are trans people 798 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 13: on transition drugs. That's probably something that actually needs to 799 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 13: be looked at, not all the rest of our guns. 800 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,439 Speaker 4: Thank you, Good morning, John,
