1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: The hour two.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Freedom Friday, and suddenly I'm all alone. Well, Devan's next door.

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 2: Max went out to get some water or coffee. We

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: now have to travel like to the far side of

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: the building in order to go and get it because

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: there's construction that's going on. This is also a shorter

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: break as well. But Max is back now waiting for

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: Catherine Johnson to arrive from Center of the American Experiment,

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: ak Kamara joining us a little bit later on in

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: the hour. I had this for later in the show,

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: but since this comment rolled in, it's a good time

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: to address this. And it's an aspect of the arguments

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: that the left has been using against Ice and particularly

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls, most recently about what Ice Cannon can't do.

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Let me play the clip first. So while sat down.

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen this or yet. Max,

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: this happened overnight. He's went on some other podcast yesterday.

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: I've been seeing he's been making the wrong Yeah. Yeah,

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: so he's sitting in some room with some do it

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: on some podcast. And I'll be honest with you, I

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: didn't bother to go and look to see who it was.

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Because I don't really care.

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 2: And I also have audio of Walls in a recent

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: interview yesterday where he's talking out of both sides of

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: his mouth like he's making good in one instance with

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: the President and they're working out deals, and the moment

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: he gets away from that and the flannel and the

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 2: beaning goes back on his head, he's back to trashing

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: the president again. However, this clip here, he's talking about

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: what ICE can and cannot do on this podcast.

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: And I this idea, Oh, you can't criticize ICE because

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: you're criticizing law enforcement. They are not law enforcement. They

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: are not professionals. How dare they slander that? And you

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 3: can have JD. Vans and you can have these people

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: slander my police saying well, if Minneapolis and Minnesota's police

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: would help us more, whatever, it's because we're professionals and

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: we're taking care of the people.

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a lot to unpack in that nineteen seconds,

39
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: but let's just focus on one little aspect of this.

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: First.

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: First off, United States Immigrations and Customers Enforcement is a

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: federal law enforcement agency. They're under the Department of Homeland Security.

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: They have a state admission to conduct criminal investigations. Obviously,

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: enforce immigration laws, preserve national security and protect public safety.

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: Okay.

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Now, ICE was created as part of the Homeland Security

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: ad going back to two thousand and two, following September eleventh.

48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: It was absorbed the prior functions of the Immigration and

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: Naturalization Service in the United States Custom Service. So they

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: basically just created a new entity back in two thousand

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: and two, which is part of what's made them so

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: ripe for criticism in this idea to abolish ICE. The

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is, if they did, we would

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: just go back to the way that it was before,

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: with agents on the ground under a different banner doing

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: the same thing that they are doing.

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Now. You do have some.

58
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: Differences relating to what ICE Canning can't do depending on

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: the state laws are concerned. Okay, But to this aspect

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: of them being federal law enforcement or them being law enforcement,

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: they absolutely are.

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 4: Okay.

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: So setting the table here, let's go to this talkback

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: because he raises a very interesting point and again something

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: that we have not talked about relating to all of

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: these controversies.

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 5: John, what's your take on that that video of my

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 5: Allen Freddy kicking the top car there, that that's like

69
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: a fifteen dight, must labor must have been damaged through

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 5: this hicol other than the light. That's a felony, must

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 5: be spit on a law enforcement option, that's an dollar felony,

72
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: that's potentially past years in prison if any want event

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: there the next week to get shot. Should I be

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: prosecuting these people for that kind of stuff and getting

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 5: them off the street.

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Well, and they'rein rest. The conundrum, and I know that

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: was difficult to hear. But as the talkbacker points to,

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: and we've talked about this in the show. In the

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: wake of that new video that emerged showing what Alex

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: Pretty was doing some eleven days prior to the shooting

81
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: incident on Saturday, he was.

82
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Breaking multiple laws.

83
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: But here you have Governor Tim Wall saying we don't

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: want ICE acting.

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: As law enforcement. They're not law enforcement, right.

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: The reality is ICE hasn't really been acting like law enforcement.

87
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: They have had I mean dozens is an understatement. They

88
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: have had many opportunities where they could go and easily

89
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: taken the custody numerous individuals on a daily basis for

90
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: getting in their way, just like Alex Pretty, and they

91
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: haven't been doing that. And that's the point that I

92
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: want to make is Walls wants to go and complain

93
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: they're not a law enforcement agency, when the reality is

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: if they were actually acting like a law enforcement agency,

95
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: or we had law enforcement there, we could have held

96
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: individuals like Alex accountable long before and Renee Nicole Good

97
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: or Nicole Renee Good long before they ever put themselves

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: in harms.

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 6: Way. Yeah, and I think one this would be again

100
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 6: a benefit of having local police and they're political, the

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 6: political leaders who are in charge of the local police

102
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 6: be corresponding with federal immigration to be working with federal

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 6: immigration because it's a lot easier to charge and convict

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 6: if you have a local officer who's actually doing the arrest.

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 6: ICE's main mission is not to arrest in charge US citizens.

106
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 6: It's to go and enforce our immigration laws. So this

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 6: is again the problem that sanctuary cities create is that, yes,

108
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 6: like a lot of these people, Alex pretty when you're

109
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 6: kicking a law enforcement vehicle, knocking out the tail light,

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: acting as he did eleven days before he was shot, yeah,

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 6: you would want to probably arrest him and potentially charge him.

112
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 6: And the fact that that's not happening is not the

113
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 6: fault of ICE ices. Man you've seen the protest. You'd

114
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 6: have to arrest twenty twenty people right every time an

115
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 6: ice vehicle is Lloyd.

116
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd essentially need to go and use.

117
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: Like one of our nicknamed snowplows with a big scoop.

118
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and just go and just just go and scoop,

119
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 6: just scoop them all every single time this incident.

120
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good That's that's an idea. That's why

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm here.

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 7: Let's go here, Happy Friday, random guy for Greater Minnesota. Here,

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 7: I'm protesting the ice protesters by working today.

124
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Good for you and fertilizer from rose Mount to Saint Charles.

125
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a good day, folks.

126
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 7: I'll make sure long when I go buy all the

127
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 7: protesters doing nothing with my fingers. What is everybody else

128
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 7: doing to protest the ice pro testers?

129
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: Have a good weekend.

130
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to uh, I'm gonna probably watch a lot

131
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: of movies and just enjoy time with my family.

132
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: As Catherine A.

133
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Johnson from American Experiment gets yourself a settled in, Max,

134
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: we have a question for you on a Freedom Friday morning.

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: Guys.

136
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 8: This is Rick and rose Mount Eric question for Max

137
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 8: as a reper senative. When you guys are not in session,

138
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 8: what do you do the rest of the year?

139
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: What are you doing the rest of them?

140
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 9: Oh?

141
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, like a tangout, what what are you doing here?

142
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Smoke a cigar? We talk about all the money I

143
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: make as a legislator. Rick is Rick is a Rick

144
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: is a good friend of the show. I just his questions.

145
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Bikeb left. But in all seriousness, what what that time

146
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: is meant for?

147
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: But that time is.

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 6: Meant for being a citizen legislature. That time is meant

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 6: to go back into your community, go back to your job,

150
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 6: and not be a full time activist, as most of

151
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 6: my DFL colleagues are.

152
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: The jobs that you have to do, you know, that's right,

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: You have another gig.

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 6: So if you go back, you do town halls, you

155
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 6: do the parades, You go and work your job. You

156
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: become a contributing member of society, even though probably six

157
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 6: months beforehand you screwed society with something you decided. And

158
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: that's a that's the job of a legislature when you're

159
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: not in when you're not in session.

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Catherine Johnson, when you're not like doing the part

161
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: casts and stuff, and what are you doing with your time.

162
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 10: Uh, baking cookies, cleaning up the house for my husband.

163
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: How you doing this morning? Good to see it so good?

164
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 8: Uh?

165
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Great, I'm a little tired, honestly. I'll get there.

166
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: Okay.

167
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Sorry, you want some coffee, and you get some coffee, I'll.

168
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 6: Just see it.

169
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: I'll call this down.

170
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 6: Road, okay, if you want some coffee. It is like

171
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 6: a maze out there getting to it.

172
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: I know.

173
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of constructs like Jack.

174
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 6: Nicholson in the shining at the end, you know, when

175
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 6: he's walking around in the the frozen corn, maize or

176
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 6: whatever it is. Do not look up if you walk

177
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 6: out of the studio. They've replaced all the lights because

178
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 6: we're doing remodeling here at the station, and they've replaced

179
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 6: all the lights on the floor with these construction grade lights.

180
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just said, don't look. I just said.

181
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: She looked out the window.

182
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: To know.

183
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: I know this.

184
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 6: Catherine was the kid when mom and dad told her

185
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 6: to not look at the sun.

186
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 10: It was like, okay, yeah, I was Donald Trump when

187
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 10: the eclipse had.

188
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: I forgot about that glasses that was me.

189
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: I asked hr if we got hazard payd for them,

190
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: But they haven't gotten back to me.

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're so bright.

192
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's go here, Satator Amy Klobashar announced yesterday

193
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: that she was running for governor of Minnesota in hopes

194
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: of becoming Democrat to Governor Tim Wallas's successor. First off,

195
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: is it just me? And again, I'm trying to look

196
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: at this, right, I'm trying to take off it's near impossible.

197
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm trying to take off my you know, my partisan blinders,

198
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: if you will. And I'm trying to look at this,

199
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: you know, rationally.

200
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: But is it just me?

201
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: Or did this announcement like land like a dull thud?

202
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I got this, I got up yesterday, I'm

203
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: doing the show. It's like six thirty. I have somebody

204
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: randomly says Amy Klobashar announced a run, she put the

205
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: video up online and then I know she's been making

206
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: the rounds. But even when I was going through and

207
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: doing the prep for the show, like this is not

208
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: a major story on any of the outlets, Like there's

209
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: not a big deal being made.

210
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: So am I am I missing that? Or did this

211
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: just was this launch.

212
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: Kind of like? Eh?

213
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 6: No, I think that's probably right. But if you're Amy

214
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 6: klobash Ar you know your past electoral history, and you

215
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 6: know the machine that's going to carry you. Having a big,

216
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 6: splashy announcement on the DFL side doesn't really matter, because

217
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 6: it's more about the machine is gonna work for you

218
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 6: in this state.

219
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 10: It was already a coronation. I mean it was already

220
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 10: set up. She would be the only person in this

221
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 10: race and.

222
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: That's it. She didn't need anything splash yet. I didn't

223
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: even watch the videos. Well, I couldn't help but and

224
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: they weren't anything special.

225
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean they were it was Senator of Small Things

226
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: level in terms of I thought that Actually, I thought

227
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: the beginning of her announcement was a big mistake because

228
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: she started off focusing on Renanicle Good and Alex pretty

229
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: especially in the wake of the further details that we

230
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: received this week, and I just don't I know that

231
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: it's playing with the hardcore base of Democrats. I get that,

232
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 2: and I know that it is fueling the outrage and

233
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: the protests that are going to continue heading into this

234
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: in the strikes heading into this weekend.

235
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: That being said, I just don't think that it's.

236
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: That it landed very well or that's a good starting

237
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: place for them, and I also wondered if it was

238
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: maybe somewhat intentionally a soft launch because of what I

239
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: had mentioned from the get go, and that is whoever announced,

240
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: and particularly Amy Klobash are when she does, I mean,

241
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: it is right in the middle of all these controversies,

242
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: and to that point, she did start off with the controversies,

243
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: and she's going to be saddled with having to ask,

244
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: you know, being asked questions about how the DFL, how

245
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: Walls and others are responding to all of this.

246
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: So maybe the soft launch, which it was intentional.

247
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 6: And I think it's worth acknowledging that in twenty twenty,

248
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 6: when the George Floyd situation happened, people forget right that.

249
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: There was an entire kind of social media movement.

250
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 6: There was outrage, and then the notion at the time

251
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 6: of defund the police was relatively popular. It was certainly

252
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 6: more popular then than it is now.

253
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: It's toxic now.

254
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 6: It's a nuclear bomb politically to say you still support

255
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 6: defund the police. And this is why it is so

256
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 6: important that as these situations happen, you need to pause,

257
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 6: not react, and give it more time than you're comfortable

258
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 6: with before putting something out there.

259
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: Publicly, because.

260
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 6: Defund ice or abolish ice could be the next defund

261
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 6: the police. Where right now, it's the thing you say,

262
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 6: it's the thing you to be societally accepted in the

263
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 6: in the dinner parties and and the group and you know,

264
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 6: the parties. It's a thing you say right now, but

265
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 6: it's a thing that could come back to haunt you

266
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 6: depending on how sentiment changes in the next year or two.

267
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: Now, I promise that I'm going to try to remain

268
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: as limited as I possibly can in sharing Amy globus

269
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: shark clips because I know that she is like nails

270
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: on a shockboard. Unfortunately, it is going to be a

271
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: difficult thing since she is the Democrat nominee at the

272
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: moment for governor.

273
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: So I do have a clip from Amy from last night.

274
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: We'll share that with you.

275
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: Coming up.

276
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: We will get with the group this morning and talk

277
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: about how yesterday Walls said that he would never run

278
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: for elected office again. And let's call in last night

279
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: on Fox News saying that she was hearing that he

280
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: might be appointed to that Senate to a seat. Also,

281
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: Akkamar will be joining us in studio at the bottom

282
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: of the hour, and we'll continue to take your talkbacks

283
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: on a Freedom Friday from the iHeartRadio app all morning

284
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: long here on Twin City's News.

285
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 9: Talk, Good morning, every one, Happy Friday. Just want to

286
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 9: give credit where credit is due with the wild game

287
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 9: last night with my family. We had a great time

288
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 9: Wild one four one. Yeah, there was nothing political, non

289
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,479
Speaker 9: tributes to violent attempted murderers or little soy boy activists

290
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 9: that violently attack cop vehicles. So kudos to the NHL

291
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 9: for not being like Major League Baseball, the NFL or

292
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 9: the NBA.

293
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: Have a nice day.

294
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: I think he took care of all the politics in

295
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: that talkback, So thank you so much for that, and

296
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: we'll get to more coming up next here on Twin

297
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: City's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh three

298
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: five FM.

299
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 11: Good morning, John, Hey, can you help me remember were

300
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 11: the National Guarden members wearing masks when they were threatening

301
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 11: people in Minnesota and chasing them indoors in neighborhoods. During

302
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 11: Tim Wall's COVID missions, thank you have a great day.

303
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they would have been. I can't tell which

304
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: way that talkback was going. He was very chipper. Thank

305
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: he was a friend. Yeah, I couldn't you.

306
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: Think you think so like it sounds like he was

307
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: trying to make an example of like the National Guard

308
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: wasn't doing this.

309
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: But then again, I'm always.

310
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 6: I'm always looking no see, I think it's the opposite

311
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 6: the other way. I think what he's saying is that

312
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 6: Ice is wearing masks, and then did the national Guard

313
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: wear masks during COVID They would have been and they did.

314
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, thank you for helping me for that up.

315
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: I hope that's it.

316
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,520

Speaker 2: to my ah can't get to it fast enough.

329
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 14: He sent out a tweet he made fun of me.

330
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 14: For talking about climate change in the middle of a blizzard,

331
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 14: and he called me snow woman. So I wrote back, Hey,

332
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 14: Donald Trump, the science is on my side, and I'd

333
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 14: like to see how your hair would fare in a blizzard.

334
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: You know what it is because she does this with

335
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: this new clip that I have, Amy Klobashar does here

336
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: on Twin City's News Talk.

337
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: It's her bodyline, sanguage.

338
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: When you watch the videos, like she really leans in

339
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: to the cringe, like she really tries to own it.

340
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: I'll give her credit for that.

341
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it works, but there is no doubt

342
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: that she is. She is giving it her all when

343
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: she goes in on she's.

344
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: Hammering that punchline, the stand up stick.

345
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: So she was at an event I believe, this week

346
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: and she had this to say.

347
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 14: One of my proudest photos that I ever keep chair

348
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 14: that I cherish is when my daughter was in sixth grade.

349
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 14: She was twelve years old and she was at Tuttle

350
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 14: School and her class was complete with dozens and dozens

351
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 14: of young Somali girls. And I have a picture of

352
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 14: her standing with the girls and they are super tall

353
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 14: and she is super short, but she is so proud

354
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 14: to be standing with them.

355
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: What are we buying that story?

356
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: So she's the one of the favorite pictures she has

357
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: of her daughter is her daughter standing with a bunch

358
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: of Somali women.

359
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: He difference just like really cracks around, really really just it.

360
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 15: Was just so so tall, these individuals, these individuals are

361
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 15: you know, I know, and actually I have audio of

362
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 15: the conversation that took place between the daughter and and

363
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 15: those Somali women.

364
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys will share it with you.

365
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 16: So I'm Somali. I'm proud to be Somali. To me,

366
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 16: being Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. It's a

367
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 16: it's a lot.

368
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 5: It's like it's a it's.

369
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 16: A it's an interesting thing. It's uh, it's very hard

370
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 16: to describe what means to be Somali and what it

371
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 16: means to be American. But it's like a cultural fusion.

372
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 16: It's kind of like the bananas and rice. You know,

373
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 16: people don't really see like, you know, it's a it's

374
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 16: a it's you know, people don't think, oh, you can

375
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 16: eat bananas with rice, But that's what it's like to

376
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 16: be Somali and American. It's like that combination of Banana

377
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 16: and Rice. But you're gonna get what I mean.

378
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: We're not We're not having our typical A Costco pizza tonight.

379
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: We're actually gonna on the family, but the banana.

380
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 6: And Rice and we're having a Justice household.

381
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nice. It's gonna be a nice night

382
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: of bananas and rice the Max.

383
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 10: You're a representative, Do you just put anyone up during your.

384
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 6: Well that was bad, That was a bad idea, that

385
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: was No, would not have made that decision.

386
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: That was a Bananas and Rice was a bad choice.

387
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was not a great spokesperson. And by the way,

388
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 6: like I noticed this young lady's bandage lasted for like

389
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: thirty minutes in her mugshot and beyond she did a

390
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 6: couple of other interviews. It seems like her head is

391
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 6: miraculously healed from this assault that happened.

392
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: And now she's gonna be able to enjoy bananas and

393
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: Rice from jail because she got arrested this week as well.

394
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 2: Daily Wire on Amy Klobashar says this, assuming Globa Shark

395
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: Clinch is a Democrat nomination, assuming our writing campaign for

396
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: Aaronquaid is.

397
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 6: It sounds like no, it's a draft campaign. It's a

398
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 6: draft camp. That means there is somebody behind the scenes

399
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 6: spending money on trying to get Aaron make Wade to.

400
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: Run for governor and her it has to be her.

401
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm rooting. I'm rooting for that. We have breaking news.

402
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: Sources say that former failed CNN host Don Lemon has

403
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: indeed been arrested.

404
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, let's go.

405
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 2: The former CNN anchor Don Lemon arrested over the Minnesota

406
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: church protest. I wonder, now, is he gonna be Oh, well,

407
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: he'd be like in a Minnesota jail, Like will he

408
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: be in the same like jail as the Banana and

409
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: Rice Chick or.

410
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: The Kima Levi Armstrong. Well, they're going to book them locally.

411
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 6: But I'm guessing if he got arrested for the same

412
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 6: thing that Nikima got arrested for, I think these would

413
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 6: be like federal federal charges.

414
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: All right, Since we're here and I and again I'm

415
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: kind of all over the place this morning on a

416
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: Freedom Friday, We'll get back to Amy klobas shark because

417
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: I want to play the clip from Liz Colin and

418
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: on Fox News last night talking about the potential of

419
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: her Amy pointing walls to the to the Senate seat.

420
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: But Nikimi was released along with the other individuals. I'll

421
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: have to face further court dates for their charges in

422
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 2: stemming from the city's church in Saint Paul protest. But

423
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: she held a press conference. It was yesterday. I haven't

424
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: a sound bite. This is an actual clip. It's not

425
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: a joke here, guys. I know sometimes I like to

426
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: have fun, but this is Nikima Levy Armstrong. Yesterday in

427
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: the wake of her being arrested from that protest.

428
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 17: We had belly chains around our waists and we had

429
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 17: handcuffs with bars in the middle. As someone who majored

430
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 17: in African American studies, I can tell you that that

431
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 17: is the closest I ever felt the slavery in my life,

432
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 17: being shackled as if I was a slave. It is

433
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 17: unacceptable and unconscionable.

434
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: But it's on brand.

435
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: I mean, what an insult to history. She has offended history.

436
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: I am going to speak up to her and speak

437
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: for her historical offensives that is offensive to history.

438
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 10: Does he actually think she did nothing wrong?

439
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 6: I think so.

440
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: I think she felt I think she feels very. You'd

441
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: have to feel righteous, you'd have to feel righteous. You'd

442
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 2: have to feel righteous and in the right to go

443
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: and do something like that.

444
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: I think she does not feel like she's done anything wrong.

445
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: It's so delusional.

446
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 10: You just wanted to shake her, like are you living

447
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 10: in another world?

448
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 6: By the way, not too long ago, Nakima lev Pounds

449
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 6: was in the in contention to be your next mayor

450
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 6: of Minneapolis. People forget about that, but she was not

451
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 6: too far away.

452
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: Was that when she was Nakima Levi Armstrong. No, that

453
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: she was Nikima Levi Pounds at the time.

454
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: At the time, she was okay, all right, well that

455
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: is and again that's just that's offensive to history.

456
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: No, you got arrested. You got arrested. This is what

457
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: happens when you get arrested, depriving people of their right

458
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: to worship. This is what happens.

459
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: And apparently there was another I haven't seen a story

460
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: on it yet, I just on a video, but there

461
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: was another church disturbance. Did you guys see this online?

462
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: There was a there was a church that was in service.

463
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: They had a whole bunch of people that showed up

464
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: and then in the middle, just like with what happened

465
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: in Saint Paul, a group of individuals got up and

466
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: started doing an anti ice song in the church, disrupting everything.

467
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: It was making the rounds overnight.

468
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: I was just waiting for a story to pop up

469
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: on it because I was disturbed to see another protest

470
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: inside of a church, and obviously in the wake of

471
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: the fact that these individuals were arrested for what they

472
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: for what they ended up doing.

473
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 6: By the way, with the Don Lemon thing is something

474
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 6: I was thinking about as we were talking, is it's like, Hey,

475
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 6: get ready for just another narrative here, because I think

476
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 6: what's gonna come out from this is that Donald Trump

477
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 6: arrests journalists, you know, and you're.

478
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: Gonna hear all sorts of preening about that.

479
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you're ready battle stations, everybody, You're right, gosh,

480
00:22:59,400 --> 00:22:59,680

Speaker 1: I also just.

489
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: Want to spike this in before we go to break,

490
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: because I failed to put it in the intro this morning,

491
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 2: and I feel bad for that because somebody had pointed

492
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: this out. So for those that missed it when if

493
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: you were listening at the start of the show, all

501
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: in a historical.

502
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: Gap that I kind of knew was there, but I

503
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: wasn't sure before I play this.

504
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: It's in reference to Nakima Levy Armstrong formerly Nakima Levy Pounds,

505

Speaker 2: who made this comment yesterday during a press conference in

00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 13: Good morning, Good morning, just for all of our listeners.

514
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 13: Because you can't see, I'm wearing a Jesus Is King

515
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 13: shirt and I love it.

516
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 4: It's my favorite shirt.

517
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: No, I was listening. It brought a smile to my

518
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: favorite walk in the doors.

519
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 13: I wear this when I fly and I get nucks

520
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 13: all the time too.

521
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, not any stern looks or

522
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 6: fus or no, no, no.

523
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 13: I mean if I did, I'd probably be like some

524
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 13: like five foot one, sixty year old white liberal woman

525
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 13: because they have like they have no fear. They'll come

526
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 13: up and say wild stuff to me, and I'm like,

527
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 13: I'm a good, god fearing Christian man. But what if

528
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 13: I wasn't.

529
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: Well.

530
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 10: The good thing is the pilot, too, is usually on

531
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 10: your side. We wore Maga hats once on a plane.

532
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 10: This is back in like twenty eighteen going to sea pack.

533
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got knucks for the pilot.

534
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 17: Yeah.

535
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 4: Oh wow, yeah, yeah, I love that.

536
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Now you'll get like knucks to the face.

537
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: Before I played this comment this talk back, AK, because

538
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: you're black.

539
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I want to go ahead.

540
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 13: I know, I know, I saw really the listeners, but

541
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 13: I'm just learning this what I thought you were just

542
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 13: tail this whole time.

543
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: I typically don't see color. K had to inform me

544
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: of this a John, so you know, you know I

545
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: am a black man.

546
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: I want to do it.

547
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: Just get your just get your your quick thoughts on

548
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: Nikimi's comments from yesterday.

549
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 17: We had belly chains around our waists and we had

550
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 17: handcuffs with bars in the middle. As someone who majored

551
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 17: in African American studies, I can tell you that that

552
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 17: is the closest I ever felt the slavery in my life,

553
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 17: being shackled as if I was a slave. It is

554
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 17: unacceptable and unconscionable.

555
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: But it's on brand.

556
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: Just I don't want you to comment, but just I

557
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: don't want to add something here because I only picked

558
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: up on the second time. Does it require that studies

559
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: for her to end up feeling that way? Like if

560
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: she hadn't gone through those studies, would she if not

561
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: had felt that way? It's like this seems like they

562
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: were they were sort of mutually exclusive.

563
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 13: But AKA here, Yeah, I mean, I think she needs

564
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 13: to get a refund from all the institutions that gave.

565
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 4: Her degrees, whether it's her law degree or her African

566
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 4: American Studies degree.

567
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 13: But yeah, like listen, the idea that she's like to

568
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 13: invoke some type of like if black people are in

569
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 13: chain just because we're slaves is so patently absurd, But

570
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 13: it's on brand for Nikima Levy Pound because her entire

571
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 13: identity is around her race. She is like the prototypical

572
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 13: just black supremacist nationalists, like quite literally, and I'm not

573
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 13: trying to.

574
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 4: Be like cute about it.

575
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 13: She thinks that white people inherently are bad, like that

576
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 13: she said at numerous times. So just the fact that

577
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 13: she's on this like you know, oh, I'm being oppressed

578
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 13: and it's like you were literally in a church oppressing people.

579
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 2: Well, there's a little bit of history here, and you

580
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: can actually extrapolate from this because I've been I've been

581
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: talking about this quite a bit this week, playing clips

582
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: of Clinton, Bill and Hillary Biden Amy klobishar are from

583
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: a president Barack Obama, especially relating to immigration, just how

584
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: they used to all sound like Republicans on the on

585
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: the issue, and we've seen examples of individuals shifting here

586
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: locally as well. So again to add I knew there

587
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: was something in the back of my mind in terms

588
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 2: of the familiarity that I had with Nakima Levy Armstrong

589
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: formerly Nakima lev Pounds.

590
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: He put the pieces together.

591
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 19: Hey, good morning guys. I'm not sure if anybody has

592
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 19: pointed this out or not. John, I cannot remember if

593
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 19: you were there or not, or if it was Drew

594
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 19: and maybe Bob Davis. But Nakima Levy Pounds used to

595
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 19: come on. It was either weekly or several times a month,

596
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 19: and she was somewhat reasonable and then you could just

597
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 19: see her slowly slide into absurdity and then she was

598
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 19: just gone.

599
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: So that was before I got here. However, I used

600
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: to listen to the show. That's right, Yes, I used

601
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: to listen right, yeah, I used to listen to the

602
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: show before I got here, And that's where I remember

603
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: that from. And there are a number of individuals that

604
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: fall into that category. So she used to be that

605
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: way you had. Reverend Tim Christopher used to be reasonable

606
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: and would come on the show, even came on with

607
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: me before he ended up veering way over to the left.

608
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rupart a week, it was a weekly, was on

609
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: the shows.

610
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: He was you know, and now all these individuals, I mean,

611
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: they would not touch the show with a ten foot

612
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: with a ten foot poll would not even be reasonable

613
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: or rational at all. But just it's a really good example. Now,

614
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: again we're looking at.

615
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: About a decade.

616
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean, this is about ten years worth in terms

617
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: of because I've been here going on ten years now.

618
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: But it tells you the way that things.

619
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 2: Have shifted over the course of the past ten years,

620
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: you know, in the larger view with the Democrat Party,

621
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: but you can see it in these individuals that used

622
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: to be frequent guests on the show.

623
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy.

624
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 6: It's also interesting you bring that up because when Drew

625
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 6: was here too, and we would do the Friday thing

626
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 6: sometimes Drew would have stand up comedians in. Yeah, and

627
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 6: I became, you know, friends with them on social media

628
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 6: platforms or followed them or whatever. And it's interesting to

629
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 6: see how we used to be able to have a

630
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 6: reasonable conversation on this show with those people and how

631
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: much I mean, there are some I won't name names,

632
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 6: but there are some of the comedians that I remember

633
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 6: sitting right next to where Cat is right now, and

634
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 6: they are radical of leftists.

635
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's radical.

636
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 13: The Overton window, like everyone always says that, like, oh,

637
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 13: Republicans are becoming more whatever. It's like our window has

638
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 13: stayed relatively in the same, like our position right, but

639
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 13: the window has shifted so far to the left that

640
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 13: now like it's it's crazy because Democrats either decided to

641
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 13: move with the Overton window to the left, and that's

642
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 13: why so many of them like spout and espouse Marxist ideology.

643
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 13: But it's like most Republicans, we've stayed in the same spot,

644
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 13: but now we are considered far right wing for positions

645
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 13: that used to be like yeah, this is boilerplate like

646
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 13: Middle America, and now we're considered racist, fascist Nazis. And

647
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 13: I literally saw an argument last night that some stats

648
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 13: about border patrol, seventeen percent are Hispanic, twenty three percent

649
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 13: are Black American. Maybe it's flipped the other way and

650
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 13: people are like, well, yeah, well didn't you know that

651
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 13: there were black Nazis?

652
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 4: And I'm like ha ha, Like that's literally their argument. Yeah.

653
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, It's like their history book revolves around just like

654
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 6: three major things. It's like World War two, the Civil

655
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 6: rights movement in January sixth, and that's the only those

656
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 6: are the only three events in history you can reference.

657
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting.

658
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: And just one more point on this, because there have

659
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: been foes of the show where that where I've actually

660
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: watched that transition as well, where the commentary online used

661
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: to be somewhat rational would just kind of stick to

662
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: the points they'd offer a different view, and then they

663
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 2: just completely went off just the absolute, total deep end,

664
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: just just into complete and total you know, Nutbarville, right, right.

665
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: But they lead people too. It's not just the leadership

666
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: on the left.

667
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 10: Like just looking at my Instagram feed over the last

668
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 10: two weeks, you can see how they shift everyone underneath

669
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 10: them by using this language that makes it seem like, yeah,

670
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 10: this moment we're in is akin to slavery, or is

671
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 10: a kin to something in.

672
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: Nazism, fascism, Yeah, civil.

673
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 10: Rights normal, but just you know, sort of following the news,

674
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 10: buy into it because they believe the news. They believe

675
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 10: this leadership who is actually radically insane.

676
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 6: Can I just say one more thing about Nikima in

677
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 6: that speech. Imagine being like a fifty year old and

678
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 6: touting your undergrad degree like that, Yeah, my degree in

679
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 6: African American studies leads me to believe It's like you're

680
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 6: fifty years old.

681
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: They're obsessed with the degrees.

682
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 10: Like you saw people, you know, shaming some of the

683
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 10: border patrol agents and then saying, you know, well, I

684
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 10: bet they didn't even have a degree.

685
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: When you know the nurse, it's their credibility statement.

686
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: They don't have anything of any good substance to share,

687
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: so they have to bolster whatever view that they want.

688
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the whole reason why I spent

689
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: time on that Rachelle Olsen editorial that I started the

690
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: show off this morning that was just so comically ridiculous,

691
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: where she uses Chris Maddele to.

692
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: Go and be like, see he's upset.

693
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: But you go back to December fourth, and she wrote

694
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: an entire editorial ripping on the guy and how he

695
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: was never going to be able to wait, there's nothing,

696
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: but it's all bad faith.

697
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: It's all bad faith. Yeah, you are correct.

698
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 19: Ar did come on the show, and he came on

699
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 19: the show with originally, Oh my.

700
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: Gosh, can you imagine that happening today? I think we'd

701
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: have fun.

702
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 13: If we have fun, I mean, I'd be having fun.

703
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 13: But I don't think that Aaron Ruper can like separate

704
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 13: himself from like reality, like I mean, his his fake reality.

705
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 13: Every time I see him post, I laugh because there's

706
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 13: so many different things that connect us.

707
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: He's from Forrest Lake.

708
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 13: I live in Forrest Lake, right, and when I go back,

709
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 13: I do remember interacting with him in person numerous times,

710
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 13: because again, like when the Overton windows shifted, there was

711
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 13: a bunch of moderate Republicans that are now firmly Democrats.

712
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 4: And that's that's just what happened.

713
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 13: But yeah, I would think if he could just strip

714
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 13: away his radical just moment and just be a normal person,

715
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 13: we would get along relatively well.

716
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: But I'm just not sure.

717
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 6: I'm not sure we have anyone of prominence left who

718
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 6: is capable of doing that anymore.

719
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: I know Dean Phillips.

720
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: Not even in that anymore.

721
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 6: Man, Well, have you invited him on the show? That

722
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 6: could be interesting, would be interesting.

723
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: I do have an invite out for so I'm Somali.

724
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 16: I'm proud to be Somali. To me, being Somali isn't

725
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 16: just eating bananas with rice.

726
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll just stop it. That would make for great rate.

727
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 13: I just think it's funny because someone must have given

728
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 13: her the advice of, like, all right, if you get nervous,

729
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 13: just go back to the main talking point that there's

730
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 13: you know, Somali's are this fusion of America apparently, which

731
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 13: bananas aren't American and neither is rice unless she said,

732
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 13: I eat bananas in wild rice, but like rice is

733
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 13: definitely not an American staple.

734
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: Well, and I you know, I broke all this down yesterday,

735
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 2: but I think there were multiple times where she wanted

736
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: to talk positive about America, and every time she did,

737
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: she was like, oh, I can't do that, and so

738
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: she just kept defaulting.

739
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: To bananas and her eyes.

740
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: Okay, and America is great and they have all these opportunities.

741
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: We want to take advantage of it. But something in

742
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: the back of her head was going, no, I can't

743
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: talk good about America's. I'll just stick on bananas and

744
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: her ice.

745
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's go here.

746
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: I was going to make an intelligence bananas and rice correlation,

747
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 2: but I couldn't get it out of my head quick enough.

748
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 2: Here's the laws from yesterday. But this will lead into

749
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: Liz Colin from last night on Jesse Waters. This is

750
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: what Governor Tim Walls had said earlier this week.

751
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: We're already doing it.

752
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 20: Do you regret jumping out before a bunch moment, no,

753
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 20: And part of it was to look, I recognize that

754
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 20: I'm a lightning rod and this is a tough it's

755
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 20: a tough space for I'm in because I know they

756
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 20: hate me personally and they take it out on my

757
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 20: constituents because old white guys who are former governors tend

758
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 20: to land on their feet. Okay type of thing, but

759
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 20: in all fairness, on the timing, I removed myself and

760
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 20: then two days later Renee Good is murdered. But I

761
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 20: think one of the things is is I have no

762
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 20: political consideration. We'll never run for an elected office again,

763
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 20: never again, never again, and I will just do the work.

764
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 20: And what I found is okay.

765
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: So he says he never running for office again, says

766
00:35:59,600 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: he's done.

767
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 4: So.

768
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: Liz Colin was on Jesse Waters last night. Here's a

769
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: bit of their exchange.

770
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: Governor Walsough.

771
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 21: You'll notice Jesse careful to say that he will not

772
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 21: run for public office again. However, Senator Ammy Clobshar could

773
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 21: still appoint him to her Senate seat. Also interesting to

774
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 21: note that Senator Clobshar and her announcement did not mention

775
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 21: President Trump today by name. She did say that she

776
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 21: was going to root out fraud. But that's hard for

777
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 21: many of us to believe. She's been a senator for

778
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 21: nearly twenty years. She has been silent on the issue

779
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 21: of Somali fraud in Minnesota.

780
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: Wait, so, Liz, are you saying there's a deal between

781
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: Walls and Amy there she's going to appoint him to

782
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: be a senator.

783
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 21: It is a possibility, And I thought the word choice

784
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 21: in that interview last night was quite interesting. But here

785
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 21: on the ground, I think police officers are feeling a

786
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 21: bit relieved.

787
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: I've misp me stop it here. So yeah, I've heard this.

788
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of a lot.

789
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 2: Of friends of the show that have been reaching out

790
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 2: and asking me my thoughts on it. I don't personally

791
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: see the upside for Democrats for a Klobashar, for the

792
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: party itself to go and make a move like like that.

793
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: I just I don't see.

794
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 2: There being enough benefit to the party to go and

795
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: place Walls in that seat.

796
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: So I could be wrong on that, but I just

797
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: I just don't see how that is.

798
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: A positive for them moving forward in her election election Champe.

799
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it wouldn't be out of character for Tim

800
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 6: Walls to lie about something like this, but I agree.

801
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 6: I happen to think that Angie Craig is going to

802
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 6: lose in this primary to Peggy Flan again, and I

803
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 6: think she would be the number one choice to be

804
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 6: appointed to Amy Klobashar's seat. But hopefully we don't have

805
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 6: that problem and in November we reject Amy Klobashar at

806
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 6: the polls.

807
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 10: It's actually a good prediction. I also think, you know,

808
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 10: he said old white governors tend to land on their feet.

809
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 17: I don't know.

810
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he's talking about Governor.

811
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 10: Dayton, who ended up marrying his campaign aid over forty

812
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 10: one years younger than his plan.

813
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 21: Maybe that's his plan.

814
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: Some would consider that landing on your feet.

815
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I think that The thing that's funny is

816
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 13: that my initial reaction is, well, like, well, yeah, you're

817
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 13: not gonna run.

818
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 4: For office because they're gonna be in prison. Duh.

819
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: I mean, of course, well, he is trying to raise

820
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 2: money for his legal decision.

821
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 13: But I do think that there is probably conversations about

822
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 13: that exact situation in which if Amy Klobashar wins, that

823
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 13: she'll do an appointment and then we can ramp up.

824
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 13: But I there's a part of me that seriously would

825
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 13: love to see that, because there still has to be

826
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 13: a special election, correct, Like she phil you got.

827
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 6: She'll get to a point as governor, right, and then

828
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 6: you'll serve out like the kind of that interim term

829
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 6: and then you'll have to run for in election eventually.

830
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 6: But keep in mind that Tina Smith was appointed to

831
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 6: her seat as well, and then like had that seat

832
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 6: for a period of time and then had to run

833
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 6: for for election after that.

834
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm just curious when does the election? When's the

835
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 13: election actually called for that Senate seat? But so I

836
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 13: if she, if she appoints Walls, Walls is going to

837
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 13: set out the rest of the four.

838
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 4: Year term, would he?

839
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 13: I don't believe, so I think a special election has

840
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 13: to be called. But anyway, I hope that if that,

841
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 13: if that's what actually happens, and you know, I'm sure

842
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 13: a talkbacker will will correct the record, then sure, because

843
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 13: it would seem just way way too corrupt to appoint

844
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 13: a governor and then to sit in that seat and

845
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 13: then if he was at that point going to run

846
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 13: again for a re election, I think it'd be.

847
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 6: Well, or maybe he takes the appointment because Tim Walls's

848
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 6: exact words and I don't say this is a conspiracy theorist.

849
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 6: I say this as someone you have to pinpoint what

850
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 6: politicians are saying. I believe Tim Wallas's exact quote was

851
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 6: he has no intention to run for elected office. Again,

852
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 6: that doesn't mean maybe he'd refuse an appointment to an

853
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 6: elected office.

854
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: The only way I do see it happening if my

855
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: other scenario comes to fruition, and I still see this

856
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: being a possibility. This goes back to what I was

857
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: saying in with regard to how I felt Aman clobersh

858
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: Ours launch was really kind of just landed with a

859
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: thud because she is saddled with However, Walls continues to

860
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: respond to the ongoing controversies here, and it's not going

861
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: well right now.

862
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you have Democrats that are ticked.

863
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: Off that you have state law enforcement that are getting involved.

864
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 2: Now they've been protesting down at the Capitol. And as

865
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, let me go ahead and take

866
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: this moment here, because I'm expecting that the Democrats are

867
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: going to be taking more heat from their own party

868
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: in the wake of some of the changes that have

869
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 2: actually taken place regarding the ice operations here in Minnesota.

870
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: This is from Fox News.

871
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 22: Yesterdayman announced a pretty big change in sanctuary policy here

872
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 22: in the state of Minnesota. Homan says, the state Attorney General,

873
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 22: Keith Ellison tells the Trump administration that jails can start

874
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 22: notifying ICE when they are going to release a wanted

875
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 22: criminal illegal alien.

876
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 23: I had a very good meeting with Attorney General Attorney

877
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 23: General Ellison, and he has clarify for me. County jails

878
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 23: may notify ICE other release dates a criminal public safety risks,

879
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 23: so ICE can take custody upon the release from the jail.

880
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 22: This is a pretty big shift, Sandra, because the Trump

881
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 22: administration has been asking sanctuary jurisdictions like Minnesota to at

882
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 22: least notify them when they are going to release wanted

883
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 22: criminal illegal aliens. Now the state of Minnesota says it

884
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 22: will notify them. It's really going to be up to

885
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 22: jails in local jurisdictions and sheriffs whether they'll be willing

886
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 22: to detain some of these wanted criminal illegal aliens as well.

887
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 22: Now also Homan announcing that agents will focus on targeted

888
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 22: enforcements moving forward, public safety threats and national security interests.

889
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 22: Our impression is that the agents will end those roving

890
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 22: patrols here. That's what sources were telling us prior to

891
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 22: Home's announcement the roving patrols. They were controversial because that's

892
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 22: when the agents can just drive around, pop out of cars,

893
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 22: question people ask for ID. But Homan did say today

894
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 22: that if you've.

895
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 4: Entered the country, it's quote, never off.

896
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 22: The table for you to perhaps be questioned. Homan also

897
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 22: was asked about a new video that appears to show

898
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 22: Alex pretty in a heated class with ICE agents.

899
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I walked away and we talked about

900
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: this earlier. You know, I walked away from that Homan pressure,

901
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: and not in a negative way, but I really thought

902
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: this was a this was a PR relations move. Nothing

903
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: was really changing regarding the mission. But you do have

904
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 2: circumstances where in individuals like Keith Ellison and Tim Walls

905
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: have caved a bit to what they were doing and

906
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: allowing some of the state patrol to get involved. The

907
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 2: changes that were made there in the Fox News story

908
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: probably a little bit too detailed for your average insurgent

909
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: on the street to really care. Right, I think they're

910
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: still going to continue doing what they're doing. I'm not

911
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: saying they wouldn't get upset about it, but you know,

912
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: it's one of those more nuanced things, and I don't

913
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 2: think a majority of the protesters on the left right

914
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: now are really getting into the finer details of detainers

915
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: and turning people over. They just continue to express their

916
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: outrage addressing it specifically at ICE.

917
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to.

918
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: See, you know, if the Democrats, you know, do take

919
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 2: any more heat for these changes that are being made.

920
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, this has been what the biggest pushback.

921
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 13: So the Democrats and Walls specifically were trying to create

922
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 13: this narrative that they're like, what are you talking about.

923
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 4: We hope people in prisons all the time.

924
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 13: And if you remember, the DLC Commissioner came out and said, no,

925
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 13: this is what our standard state policy is. Now this

926
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 13: is where the nuance gets real murky because President Trump

927
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 13: and the DOJ and ICE and DHS, they're all specifically

928
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 13: referencing all of the county jails across Minnesota. And if

929
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 13: Wall said, no, all these county jails, you have to

930
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 13: do this through the Department of Corrections, that would be

931
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 13: the policy, and Walls has been pushing back against that

932
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 13: this entire time. And obviously when you look at Minneapolis,

933
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 13: you know, you know, Mayor Fi is like, Nope, we're

934
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 13: not gonna do your job for you.

935
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 4: But it's been common sense. That's been a practice that

936
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 4: was actually used by the.

937
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 13: Obama administration and by the Biden administration. They recently made

938
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 13: that change because they're trying to push back against Trump

939
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 13: whenever they can. But I do think that Tom Holman,

940
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 13: he's the guy that comes in and is like, guys,

941
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 13: you've been doing this for all this time, don't be absurd.

942
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: We got to take a break. I just want to

943
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 2: I want to go back for just a moment to

944
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: put a bit of a period on the conversation we

945
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 2: were having about the former guests on the show on

946
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: how things have changed. And it's kind of frustrating for

947
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 2: me that I didn't key in on it at the moment.

948
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 1: But the change was Trump. The change was Trump and.

949
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: The party, the Democrat Party deciding to go down the

950
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: road of Hitler, fascists, Nazis.

951
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 1: That's where all that started.

952
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: I mean, that's exactly the moment when you wouldn't have

953
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: individuals on the show anymore willing to come on and

954
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: just have an open discussion and dialogue. That was the

955
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: wholesale change that just ended up shifting the trajectory. And

956
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 2: since then they've only continued to reinforce and double down

957
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: on the fascism and fascist label against Republicans, against Conservatives,

958
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 2: and against Trump.

959
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: And one more point on this again.

960
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 2: You're talking about those ten years, and how old was

961
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: Alex pretty was in his thirties?

962
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's thirty seven.

963
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: Thirty seven. I think Renande Nicole Good was a similar.

964
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like thirty seven, thirty eight.

965
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: So you go back ten years, you know, these are

966
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: individuals in their twenties that are getting fed this going

967
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 2: back to the same thing happened with nine to eleven

968
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: and Bush is bad, and the and the young people

969
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 2: growing up in a world where all they knew was

970
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 2: post nine to eleven, Bush is bad. And now we

971
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 2: have exactly the same thing on a much more dangerous

972
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 2: and heated level with this. Republicans, Conservatives, Trump, they're all fascists,

973
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 2: you know. And that's where that's where the change ended

974
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: up taking place.

975
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 13: And that's why I always say that the left's entire

976
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 13: goal is to steal power through narratives, and when they

977
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 13: see an opportunity, like they tried to do with Alex

978
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 13: pretty you had a lot of libertarians and people that

979
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 13: you know, I would say, are like center right in

980
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 13: our current political you know diagram that they were like, oh,

981
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 13: this is too far. You know, ice is overstep in

982
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,959
Speaker 13: the bounds. And that's the narrative they're trying to create

983
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 13: so they can grab more people and pull them to

984
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 13: their side. And there are some people that once they

985
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 13: take a position, they have so much pride in hubris.

986
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 13: This is a human sinful aspect.

987
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: You will not move.

988
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 13: You're gonna plant your feet firmly. Whereas me, I'm like, okay,

989
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 13: I went too far. I will clearly say yep, my bad.

990
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 13: But a lot of people don't do that.

991
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: They have what's called the Trump derangement problem.

992
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 4: Have you heard about that problem.
