We are Yeah, 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: we are good times. We have a we have a 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: story out of Miami Dade, Florida, of a group chat 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: gone bad amongst some some Republican UH College students subjectively bad, 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: subjectively bad. 21 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 4: Never heard that story before? Did this not just happen? 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 4: Like three weeks ago? The same thing again, is it? 23 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 3: Okay, it's the same outrage every. 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 5: Time with the same demographic group of young men that 25 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 5: are racially actually all over the place. 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: It's not like it's just young white men. But yeah, 27 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: it's young men. This is this has been going on 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: for the ages because jen z humor is so this 29 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: is nothing new wild Yeah. But what I have with that, though, 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: is I have a I have an article that lays 31 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: out proper group chat etiquette. Hmmm. So we'll run through 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: something because we have our own group chat and doesn't 33 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: get saucy by anything for the most part on occasion, 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: not in the Miami Dade, Florida college student certainly. 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: I think we're all smarter than that. 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: But we will run through some of that group chat 37 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: that group chat etiquette coming up now before we get 38 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: into the legislative session, let's go back to the big 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: news story of the day. I have one more clip 40 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: from Governor Tim Walls, and I'm just kind of curious 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: to get everybody's thoughts. So Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority 42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: of Leader Steve Scalise said, yes, yesterday they are confident 43 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, Republican out of Oklahoma can 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: lead the Department of Homeland Security now that Christy Nome 45 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: has been put in a different position. President Donald Trump 46 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: announced on True Social yesterday afternoon the DHS Secretary Nome 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: was reassigned to oversee a new Western Hemisphere security initiative. 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: He said Mullen was his nominee to replace her at 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: the helm of DHS. So Mark Wayne Mullen is going 50 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: to do an extraordinary job in his in that position, 51 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: Johnson told Newsmax, a congressional correspondent on Capitol Hill, saying 52 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: that he is well suited for it. So I talked 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: about this at length in the first hour of the show. 54 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: The Trump administration has always shown that if there's an 55 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: individual in charge of a particular job and that person 56 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: is no longer functioning the way that they should within 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: that position, or may not be the right person for 58 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: that position, they show, you know, he has no hesitancy 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: to go and put them in a different place. And 60 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: that certainly has happened here with Christy Nomes. She may 61 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: have gone and done this to herself. Going back to 62 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: and I'll play the clip here briefly. This is with 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: there was a hearing that took place earlier this Week 64 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: with Christy Nomes. She was being questioned by Senator Kennedy 65 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: and the issue of her spending some two hundred million 66 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: dollars on this advertising camp campaign came up. She said 67 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the President Donald Trump had signed off on it. Trump 68 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: said that he didn't. My thought is more than likely 69 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: there was an approval that took place within the administration, 70 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: probably not aware of the specificity of what this was 71 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: being spent on. Let me play this quick clip. This 72 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: might be the moment where Christie nom lost her gig. 73 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 6: I'm I asking you a chart interrupt, But the President 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 6: approved ahead of time you spending two hundred and twenty 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 6: million dollars running TV EDGs across the country in which 76 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 6: you are featured prominently. 77 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. Did it correct? 78 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 6: Yes? 79 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: He did? Yes, Okay. And one thing. 80 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 7: Senator I think would be helpful to know is how 81 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 7: effective that communications has. 82 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 6: Been that overwhelming give in your name recognition. I mean, 83 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 6: I personally, just I mean to me, it puts the 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 6: President in a terribly awkward spot and it and I'm 85 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 6: just I'm not shying, You're not telling the truth. It's 86 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 6: just hard for me to buy you know, I'm the president. 87 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: And that I felt that Christy Noome did a good 88 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: job in her position. I will say that her desire 89 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: to perpetuate a certain image has been a bit of 90 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: her undoing throughout this entire process. But before we move 91 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: on to legislative matters, and I have a clip from 92 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Walls commenting on the removal of Christine Nome. 93 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: He was talking with Jens Hockey on MS. 94 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: Now, I do want to ask our Freedom Friday guests 95 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: their thoughts on it, And Hey, k Kamar, your quick 96 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: thoughts on this movie. 97 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, my quick thoughts are I think that Christen Home 98 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 5: did a great job. But let's be very very clear. 99 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 5: I think Christine Home is a tryhard I think that 100 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 5: she was trying so hard to be like, I support 101 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 5: President Trump, that she would just like on reflex support 102 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 5: everything that she ever said or did. And I think 103 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 5: that that was probably to her fault. So she's a 104 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 5: Trump loyalist, no question about it. But it's like, Okay, 105 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 5: you can be a loyalist, but also just realize sometimes 106 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 5: people make mistakes. And so that's kind of where I'm 107 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 5: at with Christine Home. I think that she did a 108 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 5: really good job. Obviously, the fact that the President is 109 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 5: giving her a new title of you know, special Envoy 110 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 5: to help protect the Western hemisphere and basically be the 111 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 5: arbiter of the. 112 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: Don Rohe doctrine. 113 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 5: But I just think she was too much of a 114 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 5: try hard man and sometimes you have to take that 115 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 5: l and I think that a lot of people were 116 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 5: not liking the way that she was handling herself. 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, it makes me nervous when he I think President 118 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 7: Trump does sometimes buy into like the left wing narratives 119 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 7: like oh. 120 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: You know, Christy's doing such a bad job, blah blah. 121 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 7: Blah blah blah, Like, yes, she maybe made some missteps, 122 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 7: but I thought overall she was doing a fine job. 123 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 7: So I get worried when I think he buys into 124 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 7: that narrative a little bit. But you know, ultimately whatever, 125 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 7: I think the new guy will do a good job 126 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 7: and Cricket gets the last left, I think it's more 127 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 7: a healthy signal that the goals and the priorities and 128 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 7: the smooth operations of the Trump administration are more important 129 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 7: than any individual person, and he's not going to leave 130 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 7: anyone in a position of power who's not running it. 131 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 4: As well as they could be. I think again, I 132 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 4: think she did a fine job. But if she, for 133 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: whatever reason, was holding that office back, it was time 134 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: to move her somewhere else because you have to keep 135 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 4: things running smoothly. 136 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: So Governor Tim Walls desperately trying to once again shore 137 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: up any sort of positivity he can after you know, 138 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: having his butt handed to him once again during this 139 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: committee hearing earlier in the week, it was talking with 140 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: the friendliest of friendly news sources, and that would be 141 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: Jen Zakim over at MS now and had this to 142 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: say last night, and. 143 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 8: So I can't say it enough. Don't give them any money, 144 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 8: don't firm a DHS secretary, continue to drag them in 145 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 8: in front of you and put the guardrails around. If 146 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 8: a DHS ice border patrol, whoever it is, federal agent 147 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 8: is involved in the killing or violence or violating constitutional rights, 148 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 8: the states have to be able to be part of 149 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 8: that investigation. And at this point in time, they're stonewalling us. 150 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 8: And if you recall on the third shooting we had 151 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 8: here with the gentleman shot and a leg she went 152 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 8: after that that was a planned attack. And that night 153 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 8: she said she helped me accountable as a domestic terrors 154 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 8: for encouraging them. 155 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: Well, lo and behold, they were lying. And now those folks. 156 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 8: Are supposed to be under investigation, but our folks were 157 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 8: driven off that scene with the gas that was being 158 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 8: thrown by ice. So there's a lot of unanswered questions. 159 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 8: And I think the way this White House operates is 160 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 8: we'll get rid of here, we'll talk about something else, 161 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 8: we'll flood the zone, and people will forget about it. 162 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 8: I think what I'm saying to Christynom is we will 163 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 8: never forget. We will never until we get justice for 164 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 8: the people that were harmed in this. And if we don't, 165 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 8: and all the rest of your listeners, this is coming 166 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 8: to your state.

This is all a setup, 356 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: by the way, to provide the excuses relating to the 357 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: fraud that's been taking place in the state. Where that's 358 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: where this idea is coming from, is that you have there. 359 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: They're going to try to more directly point two, Well, 360 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: the individuals committing this fraud, you know, maybe we should 361 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: be providing other benefits to them and they wouldn't need 362 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: to be committing this fraud. This is where all of 363 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: this system is stemming from. So it makes me sick. Yeah, 364 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: So here is Dave Pinto. We'll play a few of 365 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: your comments and we'll get back to more of this 366 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: here on a Freedom Friday twin City's News Talk. 367 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 10: Several lesser on the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was 368 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 10: a presentation of a group seeking to change how we 369 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 10: address organize retail theft, and it actually had not occurred 370 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 10: to me to ask it probably would have been good 371 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 10: to make sure that they would study sort of the 372 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 10: benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people 373 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 10: are relying on that and sort of using that. Maybe 374 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 10: it's you know, assistant in some way. I mean, these 375 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 10: folks were describing people violating the law. But I suppose 376 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 10: it could be useful to look into that. But ultimately 377 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 10: it's a policy question, right, we do want to make 378 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 10: sure when we have a long place where we're enforcing it. 379 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 5: So, Hey, good morning, John, how you doing to spoiler 380 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 5: burn out of the pencil comments and the legislature? 381 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't know the boosters had a lobby who No. 382 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 11: I know it's a Freedom Friday at all, but did 383 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 11: I hear that correctly? The benefits of shoplifting, my dude, 384 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 11: That's the whole reason why there's like a division of 385 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 11: people an industry dedicated to loss prevention because it is 386 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 11: not good. 387 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: These people are whacked. 388 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: And speaking of that loss prevention. 389 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 14: Good morning, John, Hopefully you're having a great day and 390 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 14: have a great weekend.

I hope 397 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 14: this doesn't catch any legs. 398 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: Have a great day, Good morning, and I love your show. 399 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: Freedom Friday.

Should we be studying Well, well. 496 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: It's upside, that's good. 497 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: That isis that is a good point as well. 498 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 5: I find it so funny that Like, so back during 499 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 5: COVID and the George Floyd Riots, New York Times and 500 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 5: a bunch of leftists basically came up with this idea 501 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 5: that in defensive shoplifting and in defensive looting, that somehow 502 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 5: allowing this to happen is the ability of small impoverished 503 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 5: communities that have been taken advantage by the capitalist system 504 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 5: to get their get back, right, Like that that's the 505 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 5: entire premise, And so it's funny that Pinto is still 506 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 5: pushing this idea that you potentially need to look at 507 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 5: the benefits of why people would break the law. And 508 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 5: it's just like it has been so memified of how 509 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 5: ridiculous this is. Is that anytime you see a story 510 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 5: about a young non white male committing a crime or 511 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 5: a violent actor, like he was just he just needed 512 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 5: to get some sneakers for his family, right, Like, it's 513 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 5: become memified because it's absurd. 514 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: And you're also taking away all agency. 515 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 5: So you're telling me that it's okay to go and 516 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 5: rob from a store and steal from a store, that 517 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 5: there's positive benefits because somehow you just deserve it. 518 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: Like that's insane. 519 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 5: No one believes that that's even true, and it's just 520 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 5: funny that Pento's pushing. 521 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 4: That still well, and there's the criminal justice side of it, 522 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 4: for sure, but there's also the anti business side. I mean, 523 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 4: if this was put out as a piece of satire 524 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 4: to show just how anti business. 525 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 3: Especially anti small business, the. 526 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 4: State of Minnesota and the dfl IS, I would believe it. 527 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 4: If I saw this in like the Onion or the 528 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 4: Babylon b or something, I would not bat in eye. 529 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 3: But they are. They just have no care or regard for. 530 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 4: The people who are out there trying to make a living, 531 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 4: trying to keep the economy moving, running their businesses. 532 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 3: They say, well, we should. 533 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 4: Probably just let people steal from them, because the person 534 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 4: who steals it might need it. 535 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: They might need more than me. 536 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 5: I say to the point that Dave Pinto, I am 537 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 5: calling for him to remove his last name as Pinto, 538 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 5: and it's going to be Dave Lima because Pinkel beans 539 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 5: actually taste good. Lima beans are disgusting. Wow, you know 540 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 5: what you fascinated? You don't get that very often either. 541 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: Not ready for that. I have something to say, but 542 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what it is. 543 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: Why you regather your thoughts? Really a lot of r 544 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: and d went. 545 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 2: Into that, spent a lot of time on that. I 546 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: have no room to talk about. 547 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 5: That, almost as much as let's not be reminded of that. 548 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: We're in a new studio now where that's the past 549 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: and live in the now. Turn the turn the page, listen. 550 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: This is an extension of the way that democrats want 551 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: people to believe that individuals are inherently good. And if 552 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: they're inherently good, then somebody who was going and doing 553 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: something bad must have been motivated by some extraneous force 554 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: on the outside that put them in a position to 555 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: do something that we have only labeled as being wrong 556 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: and it legal and criminal, when the truth is because 557 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: people are ultimately good at heart, we need to go 558 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: and identify the root cause of what drove them to 559 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: that and understand that they simply are just trying to 560 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: better to better their lives. It's the same excuse you 561 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: used to get with the border. People that are coming 562 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: into the country illegally are just trying to better their lives, 563 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: most of them, to which I always say know all 564 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: of them are. 565 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 2: It's how they want to better their lives. 566 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: Do they want to come here and take advantage of 567 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: everything this country has to offer and embrace American exceptionalism 568 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: and assimilate even though you're here illegally, you have to 569 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 1: be held accountable. Or do they want to come in 570 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: because they're trafficking human beings or children or drugs. It's 571 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: the same type of ridiculous mentality that this moron is 572 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: presenting during the legislative session. 573 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 5: And it turns out that in fact, everybody that does 574 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 5: a thing that takes away from someone else's freedom is 575 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 5: doing it because it's better for them. 576 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: Like if I rob. 577 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 5: From you, I get what you have, it's better for me. 578 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 5: I don't really care what happens to you. So if 579 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: I want to harm someone that I feel has done 580 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 5: me in justice. 581 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: It's good for me. It's like, well, thank you for 582 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: proving the thing. 583 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 5: That we all know. People are selfish people and it's 584 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 5: part of our nature, So we need to have laws. 585 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 5: Because of selfish nature, people will just take everything they can, 586 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 5: and of course it's better for them. 587 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: They wouldn't do it. People don't do things that aren't 588 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: good for them. 589 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 7: But this is why we have the fraud problem we 590 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 7: do in Minnesota is because of this mindset of redistribution 591 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 7: by any means necessary, they don't care if it someone else. 592 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 3: It's well, those people probably needed it. 593 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 7: That's why we have this problem with fraud we do 594 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 7: in Minnesota because this is actually how the Democrats feel, 595 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 7: and it's nuts, but it's how they feel. 596 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: And as talkbacker is actually on the same wavelength that 597 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: you are, Catherine. 598 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 15: Hey, John, I wanted to follow up on the caller 599 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 15: who indicated he was from a loss prevention and that people, 600 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 15: the overwhelming majority of people steal because they do it 601 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 15: for profits. I wanted to say that that is the 602 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 15: exact same reason why people commit fraud. 603 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: They do it for profit, not for need. 604 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 15: We have program upon program in the state that can 605 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 15: help with. 606 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: The Yeah, yeah, he's absolutely he's absolutely correct. 607 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 4: Well, and it's important to clarify to John, like you said, 608 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 4: this comes from a belief on the left that people 609 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 4: are inherently good and if they're doing something bad, they 610 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 4: have a good reason for doing it, and that's not true. 611 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 3: They believe certain in groups are inherently good and others. 612 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 4: Straight white men definitely not inherently good. Anyone born into 613 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 4: a position of privilege in the United States, whether that's 614 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 4: white privilege or straightlip privilege, they know they are not 615 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 4: inherently good. They are inherently bad, and they are actively 616 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 4: trying to oppress those other groups. 617 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is only the groups that are most 618 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: politically expedient for them to go and exploit, because more 619 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: than likely they're going to end up voting for Democrats. Now, 620 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: this is what's amazing about this next clip because in 621 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: the middle of this, I think it was I don't 622 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: know if it was the same hearing or a different hearing, 623 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: but they were talking about a bunch of m mimigration 624 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: issues and thankfully they've all fallen by the wayside during 625 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: the legislative session. But Minnesota State Representative Athena Hollins basically 626 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: goes and says the quiet part out loud, and it 627 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: plays right into exactly what Minnesota Representative Dave Pinto was And. 628 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 5: I can't explain it to you any better than that, Like, 629 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 5: I'm coming at this from my heart and not from 630 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 5: my brain. 631 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 3: I am talking to people on the streets and they 632 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 3: are telling me they are scared. 633 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world, because 634 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: that's how Democrats operate. They come at it's the bleeding 635 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: heart liberal. I mean, that's why, that's that's why that 636 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: phrase exists. They look at it. 637 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 5: From their heart, not with their brain, and I think 638 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 5: it's just such a manipulative tactic to use, but that 639 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 5: is what the left does. 640 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: They're like, if I feel. 641 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 5: This way, and I can make you feel this way, 642 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 5: then that means that we need to be more fair 643 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 5: and we need to understand someone else's viewpoint or their 644 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 5: stand And I've said, like, yeah, I need a Ferrari. 645 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: So if my need to have a Ferrari outweighs. 646 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 5: Your need to run a business, I guess my need 647 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 5: trump shows it's always been that absurd of a premise. 648 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 5: And I just think that when Athena Hollins or Dave Lima. 649 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: Decides that they're going to like justify, you're not going 650 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: to I'm not gonna let go.
