Yeah, let's go here to the iHeartRadio 9 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: app before we dive into a couple of horrible instances 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: involving deaths of individuals, possible murder that you're not hearing about. 11 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: Hey, John, I think this donger throwing thing is just 12 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: a ploy to get a new game at the state fair. 13 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: Oh No, I don't think that's the case. That's the 14 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: case at all. 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: Although they have to be buying these by the case load, 16 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: they have a lot of them out there. I posted 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: some videos online. Like I said, I looked it up 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: this morning. You can buy them in bulk. I just 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: hope the company doesn't go through my search history. 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 4: What I would like to understand it with the gas 21 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 4: prices is why when you go into the Metro Saint 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 4: Paul into the heart of some of the cities, gas 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 4: is still too eighty to ninety. But then you come 24 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 4: up north to the burbs like Blaine or Forest Lake, 25 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 4: and you're paying two thirty or two forty.

Well perfect time to go. 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: Right, I know for people in Florida, that's really really bad. 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: So all right, let's share them. 56 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to share a couple of these stories with 57 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: you because I thought it was I thought these were 58 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: very interesting. You know what you're not what you're not hearing. 59 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: The first one comes out of Fox nine. Police responded 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: to a vehicle that crashed into a building and found 61 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: a man with gunshot wounds behind the wheel. Do those 62 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: happen on Friday night near powder Horn Park, which has 63 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: been an area of controversy relating to the ice activities. 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Minneapolis Police SA the man died of the scene after 65 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: the crash the thirty three hundred block of Chicago Avenue South. 66 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: This was around eight thirty on Friday. Officers discovered the 67 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: adult male of the vehicle have been struck by gunfire 68 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: and immediately began performing life saving measures, including CPR. The 69 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: man was declared deceased at the scene, and no one 70 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: else inside the vehicle. No one else was inside the 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: vehicle when the officers arrived. As of Saturday morning, no 72 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: arrests were made. Now in the article, they do state 73 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: it's believed to be the fourth homicide in Minneapolis so 74 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: far in twenty twenty six, and then they added in 75 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: Renee Good and Alex Pretty to this issue. 76 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: But then that's all there is. There's a couple. 77 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: There's a quote here from the police chief. Thoughts are 78 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: with the victims family. Any gun violence in the city 79 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: is unacceptable where investigators work tirelessly and follow all leads. 80 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: There's also a. 81 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: Story of a sleeping driver that ran over a pedestrian 82 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: before crashing into a transistation from Alpha News and I 83 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: want to share this with you in just a moment. 84 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: But sticking with this man dies after being shot crashing 85 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: into a building in South Minneapolis. 86 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting? 87 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: There's no further commentary or questions or controversy surrounding this, 88 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: like nobody cares. When you compared this to other shootings 89 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: that have taken place that have grabbed national attention, caused controversy, 90 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: or being used now to motivate individuals to throw rubber 91 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: male appendages at people. 92 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: You know, it's a lot like the Nancy Guthrie. 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: Situation, wherein there's hundreds of missing person cases across the country. 94 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: Any one of them would make incredibly compelling news media coverage, 95 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: driving you know, clicks to stories and views to the 96 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: news channels. But we're already talking about this one, right, 97 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: And I understand why. 98 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: I get it. 99 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: Sometimes the public fascination just ends up focusing on one individual. 100 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: There's the Savannah gun three angle attached to it. This 101 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: isn't even necessarily a negative on the fact that this 102 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: is just a common occurrence that takes place. But this 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: shooting death that took place on Friday, right, who are they? 104 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: Who shot them? Why? Where are all the details? Where 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: is the concern? Where is the outrage? Well, doesn't fit 106 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: any pre existing narratives that Democrats and the leftist media 107 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: can go and grab onto. So it gets quick coverage 108 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: in the news and then they move off of it. 109 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, it can't be exploited. There's the point 110 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: that I'm trying to make. And again, I understand why 111 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: these other instances do. The details around them makes it 112 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: a lot more compelling. But for a party that wants 113 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: to capitalize talk about gun violence and use it to 114 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: try to gain political capital over and over again. It's 115 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: just it's always interesting to me when you have other 116 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: murders that take place, and yet nobody seems to care 117 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: among the group that will typically go and grab onto 118 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: a particular story if it can suit their political agenda. Similarly, 119 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: a man was badly injured Friday morning when a vehicle 120 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: ran him completely over before crashing down a stairwell at 121 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: the Metro Transit east of Franklin light rail station. Now 122 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: this is from Alpha News. I did not see this 123 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: story anywhere else. Maybe it was, but in the middle 124 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: of my doing prep, I didn't find it anywhere. Alfa 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: News had it, though, and I want to work through 126 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: the details because they're really interesting. But there is a 127 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: larger point to be made when I get to the 128 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: end of this piece. Police and other responders were dispatched 129 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: to the crash about one thirty in the morning on Friday, 130 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: a report that a pedestrian had been struck in that 131 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: a vehicle had driven into a stairwell at the transittation 132 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: East Franklin Avenue in South Minneapolis. Now, again, given the 133 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: location and the circumstances, you would think there'd be a 134 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of interest in the story No just Crickets. Information 135 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: at the time was limited. This was mostly due to 136 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: the Minneapolis Police and their radio encryption that they now use. 137 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: This was implemented last year. Dispatch audio from EMS later 138 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: indicated that the mail was in his fifties was transported 139 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: to a hospital with multiple serious traumatic injuries as a 140 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: result of being involved in a vehicle crash. 141 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: Now on Friday, Joshua. 142 00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Penda Gayosh, thirty three years old, of Minneapolis, was 143 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: charged in Ahennepen County District court with felony criminal vehicular 144 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: operation resulting in great bodily harm and involving gross negligence. 145 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: Charges. 146 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: Say police were initially advised by dispatch that there was 147 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: the possibility of a deceased victim and that the driver 148 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: had left the scene. 149 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: When they got there. 150 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: Witness told police he saw the suspect drive his vehicle 151 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: into the victim and then exit and run from the scene. 152 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: The witness did not see anyone else in the vehicle. 153 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Now police observed the crashed vehicle, which appeared to have 154 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: struck a fence before traveling down an embankment and crashing 155 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: into the light rail transit station. I saw the photo 156 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: that was posted by Alpha News, and yeah, it was 157 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: a he got that car into a really unique position, 158 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: Pendagayosh told a police. Because Transit police were able to 159 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: obtain the video that showed the suspect, who was walking 160 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: near seven Kenthan Cedar Avenue, later identified as Pendagayosh, Pendagayosh 161 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: told police he'd been driving his vehicle and had struck 162 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: the person. Police asked Pendagayosh if he was the only 163 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: person in the vehicle, and he replied that he thought 164 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: he was the only person in the vehicle, but said 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: he couldn't be sure since he was sleeping at the. 166 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: Time of the accident. 167 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: Further surveillance video obtained by police showed the vehicle stopped 168 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: and parked near Cedar Avenue with its headlights on, indicating 169 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: it was on or running. The victim was not fully 170 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: visible in the video, but his feet or a portion 171 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: of his body could be seen. 172 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,359 Speaker 2: On the nearby sidewalk. 173 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: Video showed the vehicle began to move and appeared to 174 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: accelerate onto the sidewalk for striking another vehicle. Then the 175 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: fence in the vehicle appeared to pick up speed before 176 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: ultimately striking the pedestrian. 177 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: Completely running him over. 178 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: The vehicle crashed or the fence, which the pedestrian also hit. 179 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: I mean, this is all just horrific. 180 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: The vehicle then went down the embankment before coming to 181 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: a final rest against the buildings, straddling the stairs leading 182 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: to the lightrail platform. Now here's where things get interesting. 183 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: As if it wasn't already, police located a syringe on 184 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: the passenger side floorboard of the vehicle. Officers also noted 185 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: indications of impairment, but did not smell alcohol on Pendagayosh. 186 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: While at the hospital, Pendagayosh made unprompted comments about needing 187 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: to take his time to go to treatment. He additionally 188 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: commented that he was in control of the vehicle when 189 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: he fell asleep, but then stated he had parked the 190 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: vehicle first before falling asleep. According to the charges, this 191 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: dude's a mess, allegedly high on some sort of drugs. 192 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: Here the charging document says the current medical status of 193 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: the victim is unknown, but medical staff reported that he 194 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: suffered broken bones to virtually his entire body. So Pendagayosh 195 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: is being held on seventy five thousand dollars bail and 196 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday. Now, 197 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: if you're sitting here listening to the story, going Okay, 198 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: this is interesting, I get it, But why are you 199 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: bringing all this up? Well, first off, if you think 200 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: this is going to spend any time in jail for 201 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: any length of time, you're probably mistaken. Why Because a 202 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: search of Minnesota court records shows Pendagayosh has at least 203 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: thirty one prior convictions nine felonies, as well as the 204 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: case filed in twenty thirteen on charges of criminal criminal 205 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: vehicular homicide or operation DWI, careless driving, driving after revocation, 206 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: and tampering with a motor vehicle. Records showed that Pendagayosh 207 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: ultimately pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor count of a 208 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: DWI and the remaining charges were dismissed. He was only 209 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: sentenced to ninety days in jail. Well, in that case, 210 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: I mean, just another example of a dude going through 211 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: the revolving door of criminality in the Hennepin County courts 212 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: at the hands of the social justice. 213 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: Zelot Mary Moriarty. 214 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: Thankfully the individual here and hopefully we pray that he 215 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: makes a full recovery. Wasn't killed in this circumstance, But 216 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: why was this dude even on the streets? Spoiler alowers 217 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: will probably be released as soon an end of Down 218 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: to the Whipple Building tossing didos at ice vehicles. 219 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, coming up, The. 220 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Securities Worst of the Worst website features 221 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: people arrested in Minnesota who the Department says have been 222 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: convicted of serious crimes. Worst of the Worst website draws scrutiny. 223 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: This is the title of the care leven story I 224 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: want to share with you. The bias in the media 225 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: takes place in a number of different ways. Sometimes it's 226 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: just straight up bias, and it's kind of the case 227 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: with the story that I'll share with you here in 228 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: just a moment. There's also bias of omission, and this 229 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: is something that I noticed over the weekend. So I 230 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: want to share with you the details of what Caro 231 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: Levin had to say about the website that actually shows 232 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: the background of the criminals that have been arrested by ICE, 233 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: and then we will dive into Ice out Minnesota, what 234 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: they have planned for the next couple of weeks, and 235 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: why those rubber bodily appendages are being used in protests 236 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: and we'll get to your comments as well from the 237 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app here on Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty 238 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: and one O three five FM. So I'm doing prep 239 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and I'm going, you know, through the various 240 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: local websites, and it was really interesting. I was reminded 241 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: of some of the commentary we had Friday on the 242 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: show here on Twin City's News Talk during the Freedom 243 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: Friday Show, but one of this is new, but still 244 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: it's noteworthy that the coverage that they had regarding all 245 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: of the ice operations taking place here in Minnesota factually accurate, 246 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: but it's like the little details, the headlines and the 247 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: focus of the stories that matters. He had a story 248 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: of Renee Goods wife partner talking for the first time 249 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: since her death publicly. And then of course the photo 250 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: that they use is the is the most flattering photo 251 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: of a smiling Renee good. You see it in all 252 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: the different posts. You know, they did the same thing 253 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: regarding George Floyd, using whatever photos were most favorable to him. 254 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: And all of the articles talking about the ice operations, again, 255 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: they're accurate, but they all really just align with and 256 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: and and speak favorably to the anti ICE crowd, and 257 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: I personally just wish that we would have some perspectives 258 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: from the other side of this whole thing like they did. 259 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: And we've highlighted on the show. 260 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: During the time when Obama was in office and he 261 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: was deporting more people than what President Donald Trump has done, 262 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: you had CNN going on right along, right along. 263 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: Interviewing ICE officials. 264 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Sure, they talk with you know, Christy Nome, they talk 265 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: with Tom Holman. 266 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: I get it, but that's kind of it. 267 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: The rest of the coverage that you get is all 268 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: just one side of what's taking place. I would love 269 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: to see interviews with ICE agents and what they're dealing with. 270 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the body camera issue, because now that 271 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: these ICE agents maybe wearing body cams, suddenly you're hearing 272 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: the anti ICE crowd saying, oh, they're going to use 273 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: this to infringe upon our rights. All No, they want 274 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: to control the narrative. There was a lot of criticism 275 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: to be gained by the anti ICE crowd before body cameras, 276 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: saying what are they trying to hide? 277 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: Why aren't they wearing body cameras? 278 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: But they knew full well that without them, you're only 279 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: going to be able to see whatever information that the 280 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: agitators the leftists want to put out there. And now 281 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: that they decided to move forward with body cameras, suddenly. 282 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: There's all these privacy concerns. 283 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: And it was interesting because as I was doing my 284 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: prep and I was noticing this bias of omission in 285 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: terms of the lack of a balance in coverage, the 286 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: way that the stories are framed, the photographs that they used. 287 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of the fact that we don't see a 288 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: lot of commentary detailing the worst of the worst that 289 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: have been arrested in these operations. And then I get 290 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: this story where they do talk about it, but it 291 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: ends up falling directly in line with the bias commentary 292 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: running through my head based off of what I was 293 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: seeing in my prep from Caraleven, the Department of Homeland 294 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: securities Worst of the Worst website featuring people arrested in 295 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota who the Department says have been convicted of serious crimes. 296 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: There are fifteen people listed with homicide related crimes. Another 297 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen are listed with sex crimes, but 298 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: the four hundred and eighty six listings, representing twelve percent 299 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: of the total people DHS says they've arrested in for 300 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: Operation Metro Surge. 301 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: Raises many questions. 302 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, the headline worst of the Worst website draws scrutiny, 303 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: So the one time they actually go and do highlight 304 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: the background of the individuals being arrested, they draw the 305 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: whole thing into question. Criminal defense attorney in the Twin 306 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: Cities Avery Appleman, agrees the crimes listed are serious, but 307 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: says the convictions are hard to verify. Gee, I wonder 308 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: if this criminal defense attorney has anything to gain by 309 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: being critical of the Department of Homeland Security sell dangerous drugs. 310 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: We don't have a crime that has that name, Appleman said, 311 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: Come on, they think you're so stupid. I would imagine 312 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: that would mean selling drugs that are illegal to sell. 313 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: And the Minnesota Department of Corrections ongoing fact check is 314 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: having trouble confirming that some crimes listed were committed even 315 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: in other states. We can't understand where they are getting 316 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: some of this data from, said the DOC Commissioner, Paul Schnell, 317 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: who is absolutely in the tank for the for the left. 318 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: So you get two individuals, one saying we don't have 319 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: a specific crime relating to cocaine sell dangerous drugs, and 320 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: then a known lefty Department of Corrections commissioners saying, I 321 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: don't understand where they're getting the data from. I'm going 322 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: to venture. I guess they didn't bother to do any 323 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: digging on their own to find out. They really just 324 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: like to lob ou lob of the criticisms, like these 325 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: rubber mail appendages, and then just move on with life. 326 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: That's essentially what this is. Instead of being out in 327 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: front of the Whipple Building lobbing rubber replicas, they do 328 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: it verbally. Schnell also pointed out that a number of 329 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: the worst of the worst arrests did not take place 330 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: in the community during Operation Metro Surge, but were actually 331 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: direct transfers from Minnesota prisons to Ice custody. So far, 332 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: they found one hundred and ten of these arrests of 333 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: fitting that criteria. So a couple of things on that, 334 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: because I've seen this argument other places as well. First off, 335 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: let me just be totally direct. I don't care. I'll 336 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: tell you why. In my view, Operation Metro Surge and 337 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security are taking credit for these 338 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: That being said, it doesn't matter to me, why don't 339 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: you focus on what these individuals did and why they 340 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: were or in custody because you never hear about that. 341 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: They want to try to make an issue of. 342 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: They're trying to take credit for these arrests over here, 343 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: but they were already arrested. But the situation regarding the transfers, 344 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with Operation Metros are taking credit for this. 345 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: You want to know why, because the lawyers had been delaying, 346 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: almost to the point of indefinitely, the court proceedings of 347 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: these dangerous pre arrested criminals. These are the majority of 348 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: individuals that the state was not going and giving the 349 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security access to, and the Trump administration 350 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: you probably didn't hear about this. They lost on uh, 351 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: excuse me. The Trump administration won big and the leftists lost. 352 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: Over the weekend, went an appeals court pushed back on 353 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: a bunch of activist judges that were forcing the Trump 354 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: administration to allow those individuals who were incarcerated to almost 355 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: be indefinite delayed in their court proceedings. That appeals court 356 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: essentially set, Yeah, your due process goes out the window 357 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: when you come into the country illegally, and what we've 358 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: had are these lawyers that were sitting back and using 359 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: all these types of different legal hurdles that the courts 360 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: and the Department of Homeland Security had to jump through. 361 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: Basically meaning these people that have been here illegally had 362 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: been able to stay here for as long as they 363 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: wanted through all these legal wranglings and the appeals court 364 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: set Nope. ICE now has access to all these individuals. 365 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: They can be deported or dealt with by ICE. If 366 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: you had that coverage, we would be in a much 367 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: different situation. I'm not saying that it would dramatically change 368 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: the situation on the ground, but at least people would 369 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: have all of the relevant details and facts to go 370 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: and make a better informed decision because all of the 371 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: local media does, apart from the let's like Alphinous and 372 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: center of the American experiment, is just perpetuate the leftist narrative, 373 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: which doesn't help anybody except the DFL now borders our 374 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: tom homes As the ICE surge could end in a 375 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: couple of weeks if the state is willing to work 376 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: with ICE. We'll see if that happens, especially given the 377 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: fact that you now have ICE protesters that are showing 378 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: up in front of Governor Tim Walls's house over the 379 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: weekend complaining about him. I love it when they eat 380 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: their own And this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody. 381 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: You've got the Walls and the Democrats here in Minnesota 382 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: that have been enabling this irrational and rudderless, raged fueled 383 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: protests to take place now for going on well over 384 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: a month. It shouldn't come as a shock to anybody 385 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: that they would end up turning on Governor Tim Walls 386 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: on a dime the moment that they feel like he 387 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: is going and capitulating to what DHS once in terms 388 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: of getting the operations done here in Minnesota. I'll give 389 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: you details of the flyer I have here in my 390 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: hands of the events that are taking place this week 391 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: if you were wanting to take part in any of 392 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: the ice out events, and then we will get to 393 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: those rubber mail appendages being tossed at ICE agents at 394 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: the Whipple Building and your comments from the iHeartRadio app. 395 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: It's all coming up on t Wenesday's News Talk AM 396 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: eleven thirty and one three five FM. 397 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, John. Yeah, the bias in the media 398 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 5: is just dripping like crazy. The guy that got arrested 399 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 5: for kicking down the ice statue. The media, I think 400 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 5: it was KSTP broadcast like six descriptors of you know, 401 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 5: the right wing ultra insurrectionist all tags. But the guy 402 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 5: of the ANTIFA guy is just a Minnesota man. 403 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 404 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: The Jake Lang situation breaking the ice sculpture was that 405 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: was pretty comical across the board. 406 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 2: Should he been arrested? 407 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: And for those that miss let me back up here 408 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty one oh three 409 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: five FM. My name is John Justice Sam back from 410 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: his trip from Sunny Florida back in the Master Control 411 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: booth your talkbacks this morning as well, before I get 412 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: back to the ice sculpture, because I do want to 413 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: make a couple of points on that we played this 414 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: talkback relating to the news stories we were recovering earlier 415 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: in the hour, and specifically the one report of the 416 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: multiple multiple time convicted individual apparently allegedly maybe high on 417 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: drugs at a time when he ran over a dude 418 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: in South Minneapolis on Friday, almost killed him. He's recovering, 419 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: ended up getting caught and taken into a custody, and 420 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: again he had some thirty. Do you want prior convictions 421 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: license removed? And yet he was back out on the 422 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: streets after ninety days from the previous convictions that he'd 423 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: dealt with. Let's hear from you in the iHeartRadio app 424 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: brought to you by Lyndall Realty. 425 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 7: Good morning, John. I've seen that news report about the 426 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 7: guy on the stairway, and I told my son when 427 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 7: we were watching it, and said, wow, that was a 428 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 7: nice vehicle. Now hearing the history of this gentleman in 429 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 7: air quotes, knowing all the crimes that he committed, where 430 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 7: do they get the money to buy such a nice vehicle? 431 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. Why was he back out 432 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 2: on the streets? 433 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: Also another good question back to the ice sculpture to 434 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: ice sculpture, just briefly, so, Jake Lang, he's the conservative 435 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: influence agitator. I'm still completely unfamiliar with this guy. I 436 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: think his tactics are over the top, but at least 437 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: if he does the crime, he's willing to do. The 438 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: time he was back out on the streets, he was 439 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: actually a part of the protests that were taking place 440 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: at the Whipple Federal Building over the weekend, wherein these 441 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: these rubber mail appendages were being thrown about. We'll get 442 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: to this here in just a moment, but this was 443 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: an ice sculpture with the words prosecute ice placed in 444 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: front of the Capitol building in Saint Paul. And so 445 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: Jake Lang has some event. I think it's coming up 446 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: this weekend again. He wanted to promote. So we walked 447 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: over and clumsily went and knocked down the letters just 448 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: so it said pro ice. And then he got arrested 449 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: and then the ice sculpture melted in the sun. Well, 450 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how long it took. It was still 451 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: pretty cold over the weekend. Now he is back out 452 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: on the streets. And we made mention on Friday Show 453 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: that you know, he should have just torn down a 454 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: statue that was more politically expedient to destroy for the 455 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: left than maybe he wouldn't have been been arrested. And 456 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: to that point, I went back and I looked, so 457 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: that was June tenth of twenty twenty, wherein the group 458 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: had torn down the Christopher Columbus statue. I think Max 459 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: Rym or Friday, the representative, was the first to go 460 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: and bring this up. There was one individual that was 461 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: charged in that crime, and he never ended up doing 462 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: any time and faced one hundred days of community service 463 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: in the wake of that. And we still don't know 464 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: where the statue is at this point in time. So 465 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what Jake Lang is going to face 466 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: because they were looking at charging him a felony, but 467 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: he was at the protests again this weekend. But the 468 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: last point I want to make on this, and we 469 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: mentioned this in passing and didn't spend time talking about 470 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: it Friday, that ice sculpture cost to and fifty dollars 471 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: to create. It was apparently erected, no pun intended to 472 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: the conversation we'll be have coming up in just a 473 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: few minutes here on the show, but it was apparently 474 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: erected by a veterans organization, and it sounds like it 475 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: was a liberal veterans organization. I'm not going take that 476 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars and give it to a worthy cause. 477 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: If you're trying to make a point about, you know, 478 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: prosecuting ICE, then why not give that money to attorneys 479 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: that are more than happy to go and use it 480 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: to help individuals who have come in contact with ICE 481 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: agents and they feel like they've abused their power or 482 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: are there just not any lawsuits out there at the moment. 483 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: Why not give that six thousand dollars plus to an 484 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: organization that is willing to go and help those that 485 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: are here illegally and may have been incarcerated to deal 486 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: with their legal woes as the Department of Homeland Security 487 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: attempts to deport them. No, no, no, We're going to 488 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: go ahead and spend two hundred and fifty dollars on 489 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: an ice sculpture. And it's just more style over substance, 490 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: because none of this is really about ice anymore. It's 491 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: about revolution, it's about politics, it's about elections. 492 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: Flier in my hands for Ice Out Minnesota. 493 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: They have starting today through Friday, all of the events. 494 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: You can take part in, so if you're interested. 495 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: So today is melt Mondays.

First off, Tom Holman says that 548 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: he was sent by Trump to Minnesota to reduce the 549 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: tension in Minnesota and oversee an orderly transition from a 550 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: surge of immigration enforcement to more standard enforcement ten days on. 551 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: The job here. 552 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: According to the story from Channel five, Holman says he's 553 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: on track to end the surge based on certain conditions. 554 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: He said in an interview that he'd like to be 555 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: done in the next couple of weeks. 556 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: This was on Sunday morning. 557 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to get it done quickly, but then again, 558 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: I need some help from our governor and the mayor 559 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: to get the message out to the public. And as 560 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: the agitation and interference tamps down, that'll allows me to 561 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: release the security for US quicker. I'm not going to 562 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: draw down if I think our officers at further risk, 563 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: and at the moment it seems as if they clearly are. 564 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: I had this clip on Friday, but I didn't get 565 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: a chance to play it. President Donald Trump, during a 566 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: press conference, ended up commenting on Minneapolis man baby. 567 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 2: May Or mom Jeans Jacob Frye. Here's his thoughts. 568 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 3: Book, Governor and this horrible fake Mayor fry you know, 569 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: this is the constitution of the United States. 570 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 2: People don't want to be mugged. They don't want to 571 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 2: have a murderer living. 572 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 3: Next door that was, you know, killed three people in 573 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 3: a certain country and is now living beautifully here, because 574 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 3: generally speaking, if they've killed in another country, they're not 575 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 3: going to be the best of citizens, and they're rough people. 576 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 3: Remember in the campaign, I used to say that their 577 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 3: criminals make our criminals look like baby. 578 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 9: Great morning to you, John. All I got to say 579 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 9: is sixty two hundred and fifty dollars to go make 580 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 9: frozen water in Minnesota in February. That's all you got 581 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 9: to know. Why these people aren't doing anything productive? They 582 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 9: have no business sense. 583 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: And maybe my next comment is the reason why I'm 584 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: a radio talk show host and I don't work at 585 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: a news outlet because I don't know what good stories 586 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: would be. But for me personally, if I were a 587 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 1: producer at any of the news stations here, I would 588 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: be very interested in interviewing the individuals about the ice sculpture. 589 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: Why did you decide to make the ice sculpture? What 590 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: did you go through in order to commission the ice sculpture, 591 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 1: How did you get it built in a timely manner? 592 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 2: Who was a part of that? 593 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: What other message are you trying to convey with an 594 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: ice sculpture that says prosecute Ice. 595 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 2: Why didn't you go. 596 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: And spend that money on something else That would be 597 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: to me a very compelling and rich story that media 598 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: should tell. But they just don't seem interested in, you know, 599 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: covering the things that I would like to see them cover. 600 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: By the way, why are you looking at me when 601 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 2: you say all that? 602 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: Oh, no reason, I just you know, no, it's rather 603 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: than looking off into the ether or Bill Hammer on Fox. 604 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 6: News, I am as a producer to uh, but I 605 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 6: will chase down more leads for you. 606 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 2: John, No, No, I don't need I don't. I don't. 607 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: I don't need you to go to go and look into. 608 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: It, because you know, the truth of the matter is 609 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: that maybe the media out let's know this, They're never 610 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: going to get any good answers from them, you know, 611 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: they're I don't have any faith they would ask those 612 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 1: questions anyways. So from Politico, a push to put body 613 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into 614 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: a new problem. Fear that the technology will provide another 615 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 1: avenue for mass surveillance of protesters. No, the Left wants 616 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: to control as much of the narrative as they can, 617 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: so it was expedients in terms of their criticism of 618 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: Ice to complain about the lack of body cameras, and 619 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: in the moment that Christy Nomes says, hey, we're going 620 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: to have him put body cameras on lawmakers and legal 621 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: legal observers, then Ugh Ice of potentially leveraging a variety 622 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: of ways to surveil the protesters, feeding pictures into license 623 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: plate to readers and facial recognition systems. 624 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 2: What do you think they've been doing? Do you know how? 625 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 2: Because I know how? 626 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: Do you know how they've been able to go and 627 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: set up I found out over the weekend. So everybody's 628 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 1: been asking the question of how are they running these plates? 629 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 2: Where are they getting. 630 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: The means to go and run the plates of individuals 631 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: you now have. 632 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: They're calling these filter locations. 633 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: They've renamed these blockades they've been setting up in South Minneapolis. 634 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: They call these like filter stations, as if they're filtering 635 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: the right people through. 636 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 2: I know, it's all so hypocritical, right. 637 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: The open border crowd is basically created borders in their 638 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: neighborhood so that they can control who comes in and 639 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: who comes out. It's the most ridiculous, absurd thing you've 640 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 1: ever heard. Now, there may be individuals that have access 641 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: to databases where they can look these up. 642 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: But what I found out was one of the ways 643 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 2: they were doing this. 644 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: Is the yahoos that have parked themselves over at the 645 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: Whipple Building, which essentially is operating like a forward, like 646 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: an FOB, like a forward operating base. There are individuals 647 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: that are tasked with writing down the license plate numbers 648 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: as the vehicle's exit. So they're jotting down the numbers, 649 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: they're putting them on spreadsheets, they're putting them into their 650 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: apps or their signal chats, and they're shotgunning it out 651 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: to all of the well organized and equipped to agitators 652 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: the list of the license plate numbers of the vehicles 653 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: as they're leaving the Whipple Building. Far with the federal government, 654 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: I just would take the license plates off, find another 655 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: location and put them back on later on. 656 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 2: Well, they should switch them out. 657 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: They should go into the parking lot where all the 658 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: agitator's cars are, and they should They should go and 659 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: get all their license plates and then swap the plates 660 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: out on their cars like they have time to go 661 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: and deal with all of this, right in a world 662 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: of unlimited resources and an abundance of time that wouldn't 663 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: be wasted. These would be funny things that they could 664 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: go and happen. 665 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 6: Once again, regarding the body cameras, the left sure hates 666 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 6: it when the right starts acting like the left. 667 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: I knew they were going to the moment that this 668 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: was announced. I knew they weren't going to go for 669 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: this because now you're going to have further camera footage 670 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: of what's taking place. They're already not able to go 671 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 1: and highlight what they anticipated would be an abusive power 672 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: by the ICE agents. 673 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 2: And as I keep saying on the show, if. 674 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: They did, if ICE was really out there abusing their power, 675 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: they would have no problem getting that message out there 676 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: because there would be plenty of conservatives that would be 677 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: absolutely inappropriately upset if law enforcement was out there acting 678 00:38:51,440 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: unconstitutionally and abusing their powers, including me. So instead, what 679 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: are they doing. They're lobbing adult toys ice demonstrators. I'm 680 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: looking at the version here from Bring Me the News. 681 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: ICE demonstrators through adult toys at vehicles outside the Whipple 682 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: Federal Building before deputies arrested forty two and counter protesters 683 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: in a U haul fired paintballs into the crowd. So 684 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 1: before I give you details into the rubber mail appendages, 685 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: the di doos here, Okay, I want to share with 686 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: you some points from this Minnesota Reformer editorial. If you 687 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: just want to have a good time reading editorials from 688 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: those on the left to get into the mind of 689 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: a leftist, head on over to the Minnesota Reformer. Just 690 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: look at the editorial page. Almost every single one of them. 691 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: It's just some radical left wing editorial anti ice screed. 692 00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: This one from Todd vander Rott. He writes this, the 693 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: anti Ice movement isn't just about politics. It's a caregiving 694 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: social movement. The movement to oppose the surge of US 695 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: customs and US immigration and customs enforcement here in Minnesota. 696 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 2: Is succeeding, is it? 697 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 5: Though? 698 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: In part because it's not just about politics. It is 699 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: a caregiving social movement based on relatedness and belonging. Reading this, 700 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of when Joey was going to go and 701 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 1: officiate Monica and Chandler's wedding, and he had his whole 702 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: speech lined up, giving and sharing and sharing and receiving. 703 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: The resistance a shorthand for the massive decentralized organized opposition 704 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: to the Trump administration, and especially this ice incursion incorporates 705 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: aspects of social clubs to build togetherness. Maybe this is 706 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: where they got the idea to toss the man rubber 707 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: MAILI to just I love the description here, by the way, 708 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: the resistance shorthand for the massive, decentralized, organized opposition to 709 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. The Tom vander rot what's his credibility 710 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: statement in this? 711 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 2: See? 712 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: Tom vander Rott is a writer and a marriage and 713 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: family therapy master student in Minneapolis, Okay. His writing has 714 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: been published in the Minnesota Startribute. Tom, I don't think 715 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: that's the flex you think it is. But the way 716 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: that he described the resistance doing nothing with my fingers right, 717 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: it ended up making sure that it hit all the 718 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: common complaints. First off, it's massive, it's big guys, and 719 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: then of course it's decentralized. This is to push back 720 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: on any of the claims because they are legitimate of 721 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: funding going to these groups. 722 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 2: Not everybody, but some of them are. But it isized. 723 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: So it's decentralized and it's organized opposition to Trump. Okay, 724 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: So I'll share with you some more details of this. 725 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: How he views this as a caregiving social movement, which 726 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: really just all points to the fact that this is 727 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: not about ICE. This is not about defending illegal immigrants here. 728 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: That is a byproduct they're pushing back on ICE. They 729 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: are defending illegal aliens here. No, no, no, this is 730 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: all about revolution and ultimately about elections. Also coming up 731 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: next hour, we will turn our attention over to what's 732 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: happening right now regarding the trans movement here in the 733 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: United States. 734 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 2: So you got Pete Hegseth. 735 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: And the War Department saying the Boy Scouts must roll 736 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: back on the woke or lose military support. In the meantime, 737 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: multiple health care organizations are now changing their tune and 738 00:42:53,080 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: changing their policies relating to gender reassignment, gender health, and 739 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: moist hesitances. Take care because it's not care, but especially 740 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: gender issues relating to minors. Look at you details on that, 741 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: and of course we'll hear from you and the iHeartRadio 742 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: app coming up on Twin Cities News Talk 743 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 2: Am eleven thirty and one on three five FM.
