The federal surge has led to reduced 33 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 5: foot traffic, staffing issues, and revenue loss for many businesses 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 5: across the state. While some areas, like those near Alex 35 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 5: Pretty's memorial, see increased activity, other regions face significant challenges. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 5: Now it needs to be addressed that Alex Preddy's incident 37 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 5: in the region in which the area that took place 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 5: was a business area, if you didn't have the agitators 39 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 5: there at that time, if Alex Preddy wasn't there at 40 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 5: that time, and ICE was just moving through the area, 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 5: just like with what happened with Renane Nicole Good, you 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 5: would just have ICE conducting their operations. Maybe the businesses 43 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 5: in the area might have been aware, but it's no 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 5: different than when law enforcement conducts operations daily in anywhere USA. 45 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 5: People see them on the street, they go and arrest somebody. 46 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 5: There's no problems. You move on because you don't have 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 5: a public that's been broken by President Donald Trump winning 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 5: a sex a second election and brainwashed by their own 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 5: party out there getting it everybody's way. During the press 50 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 5: conference Tuesday, Walls said federal immigration actions have caused widespread 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 5: disruption across minister with effects felt in schools, healthcare, childcare, 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 5: in the states of food and hospitality industry. 53 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: So I'm going to get into the. 54 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 5: ICE aspect of what Walls had to say coming up 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 5: later on in this hour, because I want to focus 56 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 5: on fraud for the time being with regard to Governor 57 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 5: Tim Walls. So during that press conference yesterday, Governor Tim 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 5: Walls made this statement, and it might be one of 59 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 5: the most ridiculous comments that he has made so far. 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: I know the bar is high, but it's up there. 61 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 6: They don't even have any people working at these agencies, 62 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 6: so they request the data and they don't go anywhere. 63 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 6: The people who are the attorneys that should actually be 64 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 6: prosecuting on ICE cases. 65 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 7: The lead prosecutor quit yesterday. 66 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 6: Fraud is a long forgotten thing for everybody except me 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 6: and people in Minnesota who know we need to prosecute 68 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 6: it and do what's right. The federal government lost all 69 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 6: their prosecutors. The federal government sent us no one who's 70 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 6: an expert in fraud prevention or fraud discovery or fraud prosecution. 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 6: They sent untrained people on the streets to push people 72 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 6: down or to try and follow teachers home. 73 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: Every single thing that he said in that statement was 74 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 5: a lie. There was no truth in any of that, 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: apart from the prosecutors that were investigating fraud no longer 76 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 5: being in those positions. But other individuals have stepped in 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: and have filled in those roles. Your federal agents on 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 5: the streets are absolutely trained. We've documented this on the show. 79 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 5: But of course, the most egregious comment in that whole thing, 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 5: and let me play it again because I know you 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 5: picked up on it. 82 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 6: They don't even have any people working at these agencies, 83 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 6: so they request the data and they don't go anywhere. 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 7: The people who are. 85 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 6: The attorneys that should actually be prosecuting on ice cases. 86 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 6: The lead prosecutor quit yesterday. Fraud is a long forgotten 87 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 6: thing for everybody. 88 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 5: Except me, absolutely stunning. Fraud is a long forgotten thing 89 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 5: except for Governor Tim Walls. The biggest fraud that we 90 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 5: face here in Minnesota is Governor Tim Walls. Everything that 91 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 5: has transpired relating to fraud has happened under this idiot's watch. 92 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 5: He's trying to pull a magic trick with this comment 93 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 5: because now that the ICE operations are winding down and 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 5: fraud is beginning to take center stage again, just like 95 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 5: I predicted, he's trying to. 96 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: Get out ahead of it. 97 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 5: Why because he wants his ignorant base of voters, and 98 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 5: he knows that he's going to get cover from the 99 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 5: majority of minutes so to media. He wants his ignorant, 100 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 5: willfully ignorant base of voters to think that every time 101 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 5: that they see a story regarding fraud, it's only because 102 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 5: Governor Tim Walls has been speaking out about it. We 103 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: wouldn't even be hearing about this if it wasn't for 104 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 5: Governor Tim Walls. I mean, does it get any more 105 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 5: ridiculous than that? And he's got good reason to be worried. 106 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 5: I think your talkbacks are rolling in. I'll take a 107 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 5: moment to preview them. But President Donald Trump was on 108 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 5: Fox News reassuring Americans that he's going to continue to 109 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: investigate the fraud that's been for the most part, perpetuated 110 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 5: the majority of it by the Somali community, and it 111 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 5: remains a top priority.

Now that we're some forty 135 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 5: two days into it and it's running well above the 136 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 5: forecasted projections of how many people were going to be 137 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 5: taking advantage of this. But this is the Cross Lake 138 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 5: mayor on Fox News talking about Governor Tim Walls. What's 139 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 5: been happening here in Minnesota as well? 140 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 11: Listen to this to prevent them from showing up and 141 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 11: doing what they're doing here. 142 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 12: No, no, they were coming anyway. This was it was 143 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 12: all make believe that we've been at it. Every state 144 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 12: had this, and look, I do think there has to 145 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 12: be accountability in this. No one in state government was implicated. 146 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 13: Mayor to the governor, you say, what, it's crazy. 147 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 14: How there's been no one that's been so called implicated 148 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 14: when whistleblowers have fraud, have lost their jobs, been fired 149 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 14: by the state of Minnesota. I mean, if we're firing 150 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 14: people that are reporting fraud, how is the Minnesota state government, 151 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 14: the executive branch in particular, not implicated or complicit in 152 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 14: allowing fraud could be rampant. 153 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a good point. Here's one another mayor from 154 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 13: your state, Nate George. This is at the Mayor's across 155 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 13: Minnesota presser that happened on Wednesday, specifically on fraud in 156 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 13: your state. 157 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: He said this when. 158 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 15: Fraud or mismanagement happens at higher levels and is allowed 159 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 15: to continue unchecked. The consequences are pushed downstream. Every dollar 160 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 15: loss to waste, fraud and mismanagement is a dollar that 161 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 15: can't go to roads, public safety, housing, or tax Really. 162 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 13: So you all are identifying this as a big problem, obviously, 163 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 13: But there is a DHS whistleblow or detailing what is 164 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 13: described as a smear campaign after reporting fraud concerns to 165 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 13: this state.

Last week, John writes, I noted that 262 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 5: in the first two weeks of Operation Minnesota's Paid Family 263 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 5: and Medical Leave, the SKI SIMA was seeing a rate 264 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 5: of approvals that was fifty four percent higher than forecasting, 265 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 5: writing I expected a surge of applicants when the scheme 266 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 5: launched in a higher daily rate of approvals because people 267 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 5: can take time off in twenty twenty six for events 268 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 5: such as having a child, which occurred in twenty twenty five, 269 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 5: I noted, says Feelin. As a result, I held off 270 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 5: on writing this until more information became available. Yesterday, more 271 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 5: information became available. The Pioneer Press reports that Minnesota's new 272 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 5: paid Family and Medical LEAF program is off to a 273 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 5: steady start, with more than thirty million in payments and 274 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 5: thirteen thousand, seven hundred benefit approvals in its first month, 275 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 5: according to data state officials shared earlier this week. The 276 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 5: Pioneer Press says that the roughly thirteen thousand, seven hundred 277 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: approvals are slightly above pace for the one hundred and 278 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 5: thirty thousand people that the Department of Employment and Economic 279 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 5: Development expects in his for year. In fact, the deed 280 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 5: forecast and the daily rate of approvals about three hundred 281 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 5: and fifty two, and the reported figures work out to 282 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 5: a rate of four hundred and forty two, which is 283 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 5: twenty six percent above forecast. Is this slightly above? Questions 284 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 5: John Feelin, As he noted last week. The number is 285 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 5: boosted in part by early applications for child bonding leave, 286 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 5: something known in paid leave circles as a baby bump. 287 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 5: That initial bump is expected to even out over time. 288 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 5: We've seen weekly applications start to trend down over time, 289 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 5: in line with experience in other states. Deed Commissioner Evan 290 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 5: Rose said, in a call to reporters on Monday. Now, 291 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 5: the longer the approval rate is above that three hundred 292 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 5: and fifty two forecasted, like we mentioned a moment ago, 293 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 5: they now work out to about four hundred and forty two. 294 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 5: But John Feelin writes the longer that approval rate is 295 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 5: above the three hundred and fifty two forecast, the further 296 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 5: it will need to fall later to meet it. To 297 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 5: match the forecast for the year, approvals would need to 298 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 5: fall to about three hundred and forty three a day. 299 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 5: Is this likely, John says, I hope so now Deeds 300 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 5: so far has made decisions on just twenty one fifty 301 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 5: five percent of the thirty eight thousand applications. This is 302 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 5: going to be used down the road for Democrats were 303 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 5: they to gain the trifecta here again in Minnesota for 304 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 5: more redistribution of wealth programs, they will tout the success 305 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 5: of this saying that look at all the people that 306 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 5: are taking advantage of this program, and again why wouldn't 307 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 5: they It should be voluntary. It's infuriating that this is 308 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 5: being forced upon employers and employees, which is really interesting 309 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 5: when you can one I'm going to share with you 310 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 5: in just a moment of Minnesota officials molding proposals to 311 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 5: keep businesses afloat during the ice surge. If they gave 312 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 5: a rip about businesses, they never would have passed this 313 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 5: social welfare monstrosity. Just to repeat again, we already had 314 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 5: programs in place to help individuals take time off from 315 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 5: their workplace. People can decide when they go and apply 316 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 5: for a job what benefits are available to them with 317 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 5: that job, and decide whether or not if they want 318 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 5: to take that job. Maternity leave was already available for 319 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 5: mothers and has served just fine relating to bonding time. 320 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 5: Under the rationale that they propose, you might as well 321 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 5: just once you become pregnant, everybody becomes a stay at 322 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 5: home mom, and you just end up relying on the 323 00:18:53,119 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 5: state to go and support your mediocre lifestyle. That's essentially 324 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 5: the argument that's put forward on this. 325 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: This is going to be disastrous for businesses. Just wait. 326 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 5: And yet, in the same breath while they'll sit back 327 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 5: and talk about how great this program is, you'll have 328 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 5: radical communists like Governor Tim Walls talk about how bad 329 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 5: he feels about businesses because of the ice surge. That's 330 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 5: one hundred percent on them, So we'll get to this 331 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 5: in a moment. I have another clip from Governor Tim 332 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 5: Walls from yesterday, and as I mentioned, small business owners 333 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 5: asking Minnesota officials to consider implementing pandemic era safeguards and 334 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 5: new strategies amid Operation Metro Surge. The Minneapolis City Council 335 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 5: is debating a five million dollar fund to shift to 336 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 5: support local businesses under the same argument. Did we not 337 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 5: just have a p test just a couple of weeks 338 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 5: ago on a Friday where thousands upon thousands of individuals 339 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 5: went on strike and businesses shut down for the entire 340 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 5: day to protest ICE. And now we hear government officials 341 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 5: and these same businesses that more than likely took part 342 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 5: in this crying about losing business because of ICE. Yeah, 343 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 5: reconcile that one for me. We'll take your talkbacks coming 344 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 5: up and we'll play those next here on Twin Cities 345 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 5: News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. 346 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 5: Small business owners asking Minnesota officials to consider implementing pandemic 347 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 5: era safeguards and new strategies amid Operation Metro Surge. 348 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: It's Twin Cities News Talk. 349 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 5: My name is John Justice, Nobel Peace Prize. 350 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: Nominated John Justice Plan that up. 351 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 5: Only because the post office auto corrects my address and 352 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 5: blame to Minneapolis. And since the slate nominated the people 353 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 5: of Minnesota for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, I too. 354 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: Am a Nobel Peace Price nomine. 355 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 5: City officials estimate that Minneapolis businesses are losing between ten 356 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 5: million and twenty million in revenue every single week, particularly 357 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 5: in the Lake Corridor where the cultural lead diverse restaurants 358 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 5: and retailers are down as much as seven million per week. Also, 359 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 5: in the coming days, DEED, Minnesota Department of Employment and 360 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 5: Economic Development is expected to unveil a relief package focused 361 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 5: on supporting businesses. According to Walls, COVID was something that 362 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 5: we couldn't control, said the Governor. This is an entirely 363 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 5: man made, avoidable catastrophe that fell on these businesses. But 364 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 5: I think it's still important for us to put something 365 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 5: together to make sure that they get back on their feet. 366 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 5: And once again, it is a problem that they created 367 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 5: that they now want to go and provide the solution for. 368 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: Hindsight being what it is, COVID. 369 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 5: The way that Governor Tim Wall's handled that only delayed 370 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 5: the inevitable and in some worst cases, and sending our 371 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 5: senior citizens into nursing homes where they will be isolated 372 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 5: with the virus ended up causing quite a bit of 373 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 5: death and catastrophe. So he actually is correct. This isn't 374 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 5: entirely man made and avoidable catastrophe that's fallen upon these 375 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 5: businesses if they are indeed losing this much money. But 376 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 5: it's the Democrats that are one hundred percent responsible by 377 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 5: going and promoting individuals getting in the way of law enforcement. 378 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: Also, some of the burden falls on these businesses. 379 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 5: Hey, if you don't want to lose business, then maybe 380 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 5: don't go on strikes. Maybe you don't shut your business 381 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 5: down to needlessly take to the streets and accomplish absolutely 382 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 5: nothing except. 383 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: Losing valuable sources of revenue. 384 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 5: The Minneapolis City Council, one particular member, is proposing to 385 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 5: allocate five million dollars to support local businesses. Thankfully, some 386 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 5: are arguing that the city lacks the funds. Businesses across 387 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 5: the metro area express concerns about the financial collapse due 388 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 5: to ongoing immigration operations. The Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic 389 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 5: Development Department estimates and local businesses are losing ten to 390 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 5: twenty million dollars a weekly. I'd love to see the 391 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 5: math and the data on that. By the way, just 392 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 5: out of curiosity, Minneapolis City Council member radical leftist Jason 393 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 5: Chavez says, this is a very serious devastation to our 394 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 5: communities and it's up to the city to help support 395 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 5: and find ways to make sure that these businesses stay afloat. Hey, 396 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 5: how about you stop encouraging individuals to get in the 397 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 5: way of law enforcement. Chavez plans to bring forth a 398 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 5: resolution that would reallocate five million dollars from the city's 399 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: downtown asset funds for local business grants. 400 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: Oh, it's just gonna end up getting wasted if they 401 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: do this. 402 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 6: Well. 403 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 5: First off, if this happens at the state level, it's 404 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 5: merely going to be a means to try to pick 405 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: another fight against the GOP as the legislative session starts and. 406 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: This happens in Minneapolis. 407 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 5: No, it's just individuals that are going to continue to 408 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 5: help keep these radical lunatics in elected office are the 409 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 5: ones that are going to receive this money. 410 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: It's not going to go to anything of value. 411 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 5: And again, how many of these businesses shut down during 412 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 5: the ice out? 413 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: Was it back on the twenty third or twenty six 414 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: or whatever. 415 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 5: I want to get back to fraud for just a moment, 416 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: and then I'll play this clip from Governor Tim Walls 417 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 5: on the businesses being impacted by all of this. But again, 418 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 5: just for those that may have arrived, and I have 419 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 5: played slip a few times, but this was Governor Tim 420 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 5: Walls yesterday during the press conference. 421 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 6: They don't even have any people working at these agencies, 422 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 6: so they request the data and they don't go anywhere. 423 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 6: The people who are the attorneys that should actually be 424 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 6: prosecuting on ice cases. 425 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 7: The lead prosecutor quit yesterday. 426 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 6: Fraud is a long forgotten thing for everybody except me. 427 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 5: I think Fox nine would actually probably take issue with 428 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 5: that comment from Governor Tim Walls, because I have a 429 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 5: story here that I'm going to share with you. Two 430 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 5: men from Philadelphia have admitted to their roles in a 431 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: fraud scheme against Minnesota's House stabilization program. I don't think 432 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 5: we're going to see the Minnesota Tourism Board promoting this 433 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 5: aspect of tourism, but these individuals are actually being called 434 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 5: fraud tourists. But of course, according to Governor Tim Walls, 435 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 5: everybody's forgotten about fraud with him. 436 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 21: Federal prosecutors call them fraud tourists. Two men, both from 437 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 21: philip accused of traveling here to Minnesota to exploit holes 438 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 21: in the state's social service programs in order to line 439 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 21: their own pockets. 440 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 3: These defendants came here not to enjoy our lakes, our 441 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: beautiful summers, are warm people. They came here because they 442 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 3: knew and understood that Minnesota was a place where taxpayer 443 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 3: money could be taken with little risk in few consequences. 444 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 21: Federal prosecutors filed wire fraud charges against Anthony Jefferson and 445 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 21: Lester brown Back in December. They are now scheduled for 446 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 21: plea hearings at the Federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis next month. 447 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: Jefferson's attorney, Tongy. 448 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 21: Fox nine and investigators he is prepared to plead guilty. 449 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 3: My understanding is they lived in Philadelphia, and they came 450 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 3: here to enroll patients, and then they whatever services, they 451 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: whatever forms they submitted, they submitted from their homes in Philadelphia. 452 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 21: Prosecutors alleged the two men rented an office here and 453 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 21: marketed themselves as the quote housing guys, recruiting individuals from 454 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 21: shelters and Section eight half housing to enroll in the 455 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 21: state's Housing Stabilization Services Program that is a taxpayer funded 456 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 21: medical assistance benefit to help people, including the elderly, with disabilities, 457 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 21: mental health issues, as well as substance use disorders, to 458 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 21: find and maintain housing. The state actually shut the program 459 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 21: down last summer after explosive growth and spending in widespread fraud. 460 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 21: Prosecutors say that two men from Philadelphia built Medicaid for 461 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 21: three and a half million dollars through bogus and inflated 462 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 21: billing practices. Prosecutors say Brown and Jefferson were told by 463 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 21: associates at Minnesota's public assistance program was quote a good 464 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 21: opportunity to make money. Paul Bloom Fox not and again 465 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 21: that story from Fox nine. But remember, guys, nobody was 466 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 21: talking about fraud until you know or remembering fraud. 467 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: Jeff for Governor Jim Wall. 468 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 6: They don't even have any people working at these agencies, 469 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 6: so they requested data and they don't go anywhere. The 470 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 6: people who are the attorneys that should actually be prosecuting 471 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 6: on ice cases. 472 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 7: The lead prosecutor quit yesterday. 473 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 6: Fraud is a long forgotten thing for everybody except me 474 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 6: and people in Minnesota who know we need to prosecute 475 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 6: it and do what's right. The federal government lost all 476 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 6: their prosecutors. The federal government sent us no one. 477 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Straight up live. It's just. 478 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 5: He did tell a bit of truth when he talked 479 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 5: about this being a man made issue. Yeah, it was 480 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 5: created by Democrats. Let's get to a few of your 481 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 5: talkbacks from the iHeart Radio app. 482 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 18: John, I know a lot of people that are boycotting 483 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 18: businesses that did shut down on that ice out because 484 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 18: I'm not going to support a business that doesn't support 485 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 18: law enforcement. 486 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: And that's the majority of thinking in this state. 487 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 22: And maybe that's why they're not doing very good with 488 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 22: their business, because they made bad decisions and now we 489 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 22: got to. 490 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: Bail them out. 491 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: No, we don't need to bail them out. 492 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: Boring, John, You're right.

Their 501 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 5: reality is whatever they say. It doesn't have to be 502 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 5: rooted in reality. It's just their alternate reality, which usually 503 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 5: is completely separate from actual reality. 504 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: This is actual reality, by the way. 505 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 22: Speaking of economic news, the US economy as one hundred 506 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 22: and thirty thousand jobs in January, exceeding expectation. These futures 507 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 22: on the market are up. 508 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 17: Oh hell yeah. 509 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 5: Don't provide that good news via the talkback. I'm gonna 510 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 5: end up getting a whole bunch of follow the show 511 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 5: irrational talkbacks as they lash out whenever they hear good 512 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 5: positive news for Trump and the economy. I have more walls, 513 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 5: as if what you heard wasn't enough. 514 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: Walls. 515 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 5: Believes the Trump administration could be on the verge of 516 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 5: an even larger draw down as. 517 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: We mentioned of agents in the next few weeks. 518 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 5: He says, if you're asking me, I'm skeptical, but in 519 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 5: this case, I'm more than a hopeful than I have 520 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 5: been that they're going to wind this down soon. And again, 521 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 5: the reason why he's saying this is because one it's 522 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 5: going to happen, but two, the other big focus of 523 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 5: the press conference yesterday was all about the businesses trying 524 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 5: to create these arguments against Republicans against Trump because he 525 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 5: knows fraud's going to takes under stage. It's why he 526 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 5: made the comment he won any Democrat who sees the 527 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 5: story regarding fraud to remember that he's the only one 528 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 5: that ever cares about fraud. The best way to describe 529 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 5: this next clip where he talks about these businesses, and 530 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 5: this was a completely staged press. 531 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Conference photo op. 532 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 5: They obviously cleared out this restaurant in order to have 533 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 5: the governor in there to give this press conference where 534 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 5: I don't think he even took any questions at the time. 535 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 5: Talking about the devastation that has occurred because of the 536 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 5: ice surge and what over a center of the American experiment, 537 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 5: Bill Walsh says, is Governor Tim Walls and his shorthand speak, 538 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 5: and he certainly does this in his typical fashion in 539 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 5: this clip. 540 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 6: Well, the impact is pretty clear right here. This place 541 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 6: should be hopping, This place should be full. We should 542 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 6: have the four employees that would be working this kitchen 543 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 6: be working here. They're not, which the trickle down effect 544 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 6: of that is how do they make rent, how do 545 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 6: they pay for food? How do they do the things 546 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 6: they need to do, and so I think it's been 547 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 6: clear over the last nearly three months. 548 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: Now that we are long past this being anything about 549 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: immigration again. 550 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 6: I'm grateful for the great reporting that's been done of 551 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 6: all the people that have been detained by ice. Fourteen 552 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 6: percent fall into that worst of the worst. Those are 553 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 6: the people that we know about. We're seeing continuous stories 554 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,959 Speaker 6: about the conditions that the Whipple building and others, the 555 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 6: horrific stories of Liam and the number of children that 556 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 6: have spiked up that are in detention, all in the 557 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 6: name of making our community safe for none of which 558 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 6: is true. We're here today to highlight the economic impact, 559 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 6: and this is going to take some time as it 560 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 6: shakes out, and it will be an ongoing rolling hit 561 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 6: that is happening to these businesses and sided just mentioning 562 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 6: we just want to get back to do what we 563 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 6: do best, normal cook food for our neighbors, make some money, and. 564 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: Go on about our lives. 565 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 6: The incredible disruption that has been caused by what can 566 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 6: only be described as a federal retribution campaign. And I 567 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 6: say that because I'm not searching for words. That's exactly 568 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 6: what the President of the US United States called it. 569 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 6: A retribution campaign against Minnesota. 570 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 5: All right, there's a lot to unpack with this, but 571 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 5: he has really turned it into an art. 572 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: This shorthand speak that we refer to. 573 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 5: He rattles off just just a litany of different points 574 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 5: and views and stories, the majority of which you simply 575 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 5: aren't true. He fires them off in rapid fashion, makes 576 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 5: a comment like, you know, this is about things being safer, 577 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 5: but none of this is true, when in reality much 578 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 5: of what he said simply wasn't true. 579 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: Let's start off with. 580 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 5: Him just tossing in Liam Ramos in the mix here 581 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 5: as he continues to perpetuate that false narrative that has 582 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 5: been completely debunked now for over a week, if not longer, 583 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 5: and yet he continues to shotgun this false information out there. 584 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 5: Here's Todd Lyons demolishing the less narrative over this issue 585 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 5: that Tim Walls just yesterday went and tried to take 586 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 5: advantage of perpetuating the lie about what actually happened with 587 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 5: that kid and his illegal alien. 588 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 24: Father as an as an anecdote, mister Lyons, was Liam 589 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 24: used as bait by your agency? 590 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 25: No, sir, Actually, law enforcement officers took Kayla child, that 591 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 25: the father abandoned him out of. 592 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: Him drunk us through what that means. 593 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 25: So, sir, the individual that was driving that vehicle with 594 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 25: Liam it was in fled from the scene from the 595 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 25: officers officers. He was obviously upset. We comforted him. The 596 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 25: officers actually placed him in one of our vehicles, played 597 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 25: his favorite song, favorite music. 598 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: Then they took him to McDonald's. You all got him McDonald's, 599 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: so you ought to not abduct him. 600 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 2: You did not use him as bait. 601 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 24: Any characterization of that is a lie, and it has 602 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 24: been repeated over and over by the Democrats to frame 603 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 24: your agency. 604 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: You have had Governor Tim Walls. 605 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 5: You've had Minneapolis Man Baby may Or Mom Jean's Jacob Frye. 606 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 5: You've had Keith Ellison, You've had Peggy Flann Again. The 607 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 5: list goes on down the line of individuals, of these 608 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 5: individuals in positions of power who have encouraged people to continually, 609 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 5: since the start of Operation Metro Surge, take to the streets, 610 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 5: observe what's going on with ICE, peacefully protest and even 611 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 5: supported these ICE out strikes where businesses shut down.

In the stories themselves, 626 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 5: it talks about how in the business area where Alex 627 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 5: pretty died that business is returning. 628 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: So it actually runs counter to what it is that 629 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: they're talking about, and that. 630 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 5: The businesses want to get upset with anybody get upset 631 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 5: to the people that I'm talking about right now, Walls, 632 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 5: Fry Ellison, if it wasn't for all the agitators on 633 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 5: the streets, you probably wouldn't even be aware what. 634 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: ICE is doing. 635 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 5: They would have come in, conducted their arrests and been 636 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 5: gone by now. 637 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 8: It is. 638 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 5: It is almost a carbon copy with just a different 639 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 5: set of details with what happened with COVID. COVID was 640 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 5: a different situation because it was something that was really 641 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 5: unprecedented in terms of a pandemic. 642 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: But now, in hindsight, Walls. 643 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,399 Speaker 5: Is doing exactly the same thing he did back then. 644 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 5: As we now know, COVID was merely prolonged by the 645 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 5: actions of Governor Tim Walls, and in some cases made 646 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 5: much worse. Forcing seniors in a nursing homes, as I've mentioned, 647 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 5: confining them with the virus, not allowing businesses to make 648 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 5: the choices and decisions for themselves how they wanted to go, 649 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 5: and reacted them pandemic he picked. He hand picked the 650 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 5: winners and losers. Who was going to be essential, who 651 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 5: wasn't essential. Businesses were devastated, lives lost, jobs lost, never returned, 652 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 5: exacerbated the problem we know across the board. The mitigation 653 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 5: efforts really didn't do much of anything except put us 654 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 5: in a position where we had to deal with COVID 655 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 5: a lot longer than if we had just let the 656 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 5: virus take its course, let businesses decide for themselves that 657 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 5: they wanted to stay open, and let the customers and 658 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 5: the citizens decide whether or not they wanted to go 659 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 5: and purchase goods and services from those businesses, and here 660 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 5: relating to ICE, encouraging individuals to take to the streets 661 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 5: to obstruct ICE operations, forcing the federal government, the Trump administration, 662 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 5: to bring in even more ICE officers to deal with 663 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 5: the agitators because they made a decision through their horrible 664 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 5: anti American sanctuary city policies disconnecting local law enforcement with 665 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,399 Speaker 5: federal law enforcement. They've just exacerbated the problem and now 666 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 5: they're trying to go and capitalize on it. They're going 667 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 5: to be the saviors to come in and rescue all 668 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 5: these businesses from a crisis that they solely created. 669 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: And at the end of his statement, he. 670 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 5: Talks about President Donald Trump calling this a retribution. 671 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: He said it was a retribution. 672 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 5: Walls is such a moron because all he did was 673 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 5: invite people like myself to do what he didn't do, 674 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 5: and that is provide and contextualize where he actually got 675 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 5: that from, because he said Trump called this a retribution 676 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 5: against Minnesota. But that wasn't all that Trump said. He 677 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 5: posted on True Social this is what Governor Tim Walls 678 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 5: was drawing from. Trump wrote, do the people of Minnesota 679 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 5: really want to live in a community in which there 680 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 5: are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers, addicts, rapists, 681 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 5: violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental 682 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 5: institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous 683 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 5: to even mention. All the patriots of Ice want to 684 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 5: do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them 685 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 5: back to the prisons and mental institutions from. 686 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: Which they came. 687 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 5: Most in foreign countries who illegally enter the USA through 688 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 5: Sleepy Joe Biden's horrible open border policy. 689 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: Every place you go. Crime comes down. 690 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 5: In Chicago despite a weakening competent governor and mayor fighting 691 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 5: us along the way, a big improvement was made. 692 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 1: Thousands of criminals were removed. 693 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 5: Minnesota Democrats love the unrest and the anarchists and the 694 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 5: professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off 695 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,800 Speaker 5: of the nineteen billion dollars that was stolen by really 696 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 5: bad and deranged people. Fear not great people of Minnesota. 697 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 5: The day of reckoning is and retribution is coming. That's 698 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 5: the context that President Donald Trump made that comment, and 699 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 5: yet once again Governor Tim Walls goes out gets behind 700 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 5: the microphone and just spews a bunch of nonsense and 701 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 5: doesn't give you or anybody in Minnesota the proper contextualization 702 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 5: of what President Donald Trump actually said. 703 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 6: Well, the impact is pretty clear right here. This place 704 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 6: should be hopping, This place should be full. We should 705 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 6: have the four employees that would be working this kitchen 706 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 6: be working here. They're not, which the trickle down effect 707 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 6: of that is, how do they make rent, how do 708 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 6: they pay for food? How do they do the things 709 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 6: they need to do. And so I think it's been 710 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 6: clear over the last nearly three months now that we 711 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 6: are long asked this being anything about immigration. 712 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 2: Again, I'm grateful for the great. 713 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: There's a level of truth in what he's saying, but 714 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: it's about his own party. He's right, it's not about immigration. 715 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 5: None of what's taking place on the streets of Minneapolis, 716 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 5: none of these calls to provide funding for businesses, lamenting 717 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 5: the loss of businesses, pushing back on Trump. It doesn't 718 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 5: have anything for Democrats to do with immigration at all. 719 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 5: They don't give a rip about the immigrant community here 720 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 5: in Minnesota. They only care about them inasmuch as they 721 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 5: can take advantage of them to continue to win elections. 722 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: That's it. They don't care about their neighbor. They don't 723 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: care about what happens. 724 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 5: To illegal aliens. How many individuals have you heard Democrats 725 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 5: that talk about in the past, that we spent all 726 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 5: this time talking about regarding who've been arrested by ICE 727 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 5: and Immigrations and Customs enforcement, but now we just no 728 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 5: longer hear about them anymore. Kil Mar Brigo Garcia come 729 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 5: to mind. So he's right, there's a level of truth 730 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,879 Speaker 5: in what he said. It's not about immigration, No, it 731 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 5: is when it comes to me and to you and 732 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 5: to President Donald Trump and to Republicans here in the 733 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 5: state of Minnesota. But for Democrats, no, it's just about 734 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 5: trying to gain as much political capital as they possibly 735 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 5: can for their broken and brainwashed voters. 736 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 2: Reporting that's been done. 737 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 6: Of all the people that have been detained by ice, 738 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 6: fourteen percent fall into that worst of the worst. 739 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 2: Those are the people that we know about. 740 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 6: We're seeing continuous stories about the conditions that the Whipple 741 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 6: Building and others, the horrific stories of Liam and the 742 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 6: number of children that's all wiped up that are in detention, 743 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 6: all in the name of making our community safe for 744 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 6: none of which is true. We're here today to highlight 745 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 6: the economic impact and this is going to take some 746 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 6: time as it shakes out, and it will be an ongoing, 747 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 6: rolling hit that is happening to these businesses and site 748 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 6: just mentioning we just want to get back to do 749 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 6: what we do best, normal cook food for our neighbors, 750 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 6: make some money, and. 751 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 2: Go on about our lives. 752 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 6: The incredible disruption that has been caused by what can 753 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 6: only be described as a federal retribution campaign. And I 754 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 6: say that because I'm not searching for words. That's exactly 755 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 6: what the President of the United States called it, a 756 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,240 Speaker 6: retribution campaign against Minnesota. 757 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's absolutely right, but it wasn't a retribution campaign 758 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 5: against Minnesota. It was a retribution and it is a 759 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 5: retribution campaign against hack governors and probably the worst that 760 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 5: we have in the country, like Governor Tim Walls.
