I actually don't 368 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 3: think it was that stupid of a question to say, 369 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 3: is this what subject of the jurisdiction of means? I 370 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 3: think that makes sense if you're really trying to think 371 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: of it contextually. What does that mean?

Comes this incredibly biased peace masquerading 528 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: his legitimate news from Bringing the News. President Donald Trump 529 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: started his day with an attack on Bruce Springsteen in 530 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: the wake of appearances by the Boss and the Twin Cities. 531 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: The president's true social tirade came days after Springsteen opened 532 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: his Land of Hope and Dreams tour in Minneapolis and 533 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: the thirty first, which took place a couple of days 534 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: after he appeared at the No Flings No No Flings, 535 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: Yes that No Flings rally, the No Kings Rally in 536 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: Saint Paul, so I saw online. I reposted it. I'm 537 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: not going to play the audio because it's atrocious. But 538 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: so Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine was there 539 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: and he and the Boss ended up doing a cover 540 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: of Prince's Purple Rain, which is awful. And apparently I 541 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: was told by people online that it's kind of an 542 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: unspoken rule that you don't do Prince covers in Minnesota. Yeah, probably, 543 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: I guess Minneapolis specifically. 544 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 6: Be here and stop trying to like make his thing 545 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 6: your thing, like that's it's so, it's so awful. And 546 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 6: Tom Morello don't say Rage against Machine because they changed 547 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 6: their band name to Rage for the Machine, because that's 548 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 6: what these bands they want the machine state. They support 549 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 6: the Democrat Party and all institutions involved because they're cellos. 550 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 5: Rage against the Machine sponsored by Pfizer. Yeah, serious, exactly. 551 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: Rage against the Machine was one of the biggest look 552 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: Their music was fine. I mean, I started my doing 553 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: alternative rock radio and I enjoyed me some Rage against 554 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: the Machine at the at the time. Although it's funny 555 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: because for the longest time, when when I was doing 556 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: alternative rock in the nineties, uh, Rage against the Machine 557 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: always used an image or they often used an image 558 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: of Shag Guarvara okay on T shirts or Rage Against 559 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: the Machine and posters. And for the longest time, the 560 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: hardcore fans of Rage against the Machine actually thought it 561 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: was the lead singer and didn't realize it was Sa Lara. 562 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: He was so stupid. But Zach Dala roach of the 563 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: lead singer. He came from like one of the most affluent, 564 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: richest parts of southern California, in Orange County, by the beach, 565 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: beautiful area. Came from an incredibly rich family. They all did, 566 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: and they all just came out all you know whatever. 567 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: Anyway, back to the story. 568 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: From Bringing the News, Trump wrote, bad, very boring singer 569 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen has had a long, horrible and incurable case 570 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: of Trump derangement syndromey, posted on True Social.

DAN officials said, federal actions are taking 669 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: a toll on Minnesota's economy. 670 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, from a. 671 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: Year, from a year of on again, off again tariffs. 672 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: Got to bring the tariffs back in the play that 673 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: stalled the business investment, to heightened immigration enforcement that bruised 674 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: the workforce on top of rising unemployment, on top of 675 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: rising unemployment. Who wrote this, This would be the m 676 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: and Nelson at the Start Review. Minnesota also saw its 677 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: labor force shrink and private sector shed jobs in January. 678 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: It's all fantastic news, the Deed Commissioner Matt Verelek said 679 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: during a virtual news conference. And to the extent the 680 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: federal actions related to immigration and tariffs have contributed to this, 681 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say Minnesota has borne more 682 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: than its share of those impacts. 683 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 5: You know. 684 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: Once again, I just want to point out that ICE 685 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: has was in and has been in other states across 686 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: the country, arresting thousands of illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, without issue, 687 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: without problem, and without devastating their economy. It's only here 688 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,719 Speaker 1: Minnesota where they've had an issue. And if it was 689 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: at all anything to do with Operation Metro Surge. That 690 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent on the Democrats walls, the leadership 691 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: because of what they did in perpetuating all the fear 692 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: that convinced individuals to stay home, to close their businesses, 693 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: to not go to work. So if there was an impact, 694 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: because I haven't seen the numbers specifically, but if there was, 695 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: it's all in the Democrats and then. 696 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 3: Crowdfunding money to pay for people's bills because they've convinced 697 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 3: them they can't leave their house. I wouldn't go back 698 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: to work either. If I could just abuse this toxic 699 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 3: kindness coming out of the left. 700 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: Well in this article, well, we think it's ice, that's 701 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: what's causing it. 702 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 11: Hmm. 703 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: I wonder if paid family medical leave has something to 704 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: do with people being laid off, or I wonder if 705 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: like the sixty some new mandates that we have on businesses, 706 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: or you know, the numerous amount of taxes that I 707 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: hear every single day in Saint Paul. It's like, I 708 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: wonder if that has something to do with it. Does 709 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 2: the article even mention paid family medical leaf? 710 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: Nope, nope, you go through here further. It talks about 711 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: Operation Metro Surge. Operation Metro surge data on payroll. 712 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 5: Nothing at all. And this is what's so crazy. 713 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 6: Go back to the beginning of the show when you 714 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 6: were playing the clips from Harry Reid and all these 715 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 6: Democrats talking about legal immigration. When you create a system 716 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 6: like Minnesota did under the Democrat trifecta that says, come 717 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 6: to Minnesota, if you are an illegal alien, we are 718 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 6: going to give you free college tuition, we are going 719 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 6: to give you free healthcare. Don't be surprised when they 720 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 6: start enforcing the law and people start scattering and going 721 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 6: back to their home countries are getting picked up. That 722 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 6: it's going to hurt your economy. But that's why Democrats 723 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 6: made that pivot. They decided, for political power and for 724 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 6: political expediency, they were going to embrace illegal aliens. But 725 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 6: like you said, Max paid family medical leave on top 726 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 6: of you built in an economy, especially in Minneapolis, based 727 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 6: on illegal aliens. Yes, it's going to hurt. So I 728 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 6: think there is a grain of truth that yes, Operation 729 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 6: Metro Surge is hurting the economy of Minnesota, but for 730 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 6: a good reason, because now Minnesotans can actually fill in 731 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 6: those spots and jobs and industries that built their kind 732 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 6: of entire economic backbone on illegal aliens. They should suffer. 733 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 6: And I'm glad because you were breaking the lawe anyways, Yeah. 734 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: And on top of this, you've got rampant juvenile crime, 735 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: auto thefts, you got a city council that's focused on 736 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: anti Trump resolutions, and a barrage of socialist policy is 737 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: but sure it's tariffs and in ice one, but. 738 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 3: You can't have We've created an economy in Minnesota that 739 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 3: penalizes people who are successful, and you can never have 740 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 3: an economy that works like that. The people who are 741 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 3: successful are going to get the heck out of here. 742 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 4: And now there are no jobs. Why are you surprised? 743 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: So I have I have some sad news regarding this 744 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: whole situation as well, because with the unemployment comes more unemployment. 745 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: The Seville, an iconic on iconic Minneapolis trip club No 746 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: has abruptly closed. 747 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 5: That's right, leaving. 748 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 1: Dancers and staff. 749 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 5: You so sad. 750 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: Dancers and staff members are out of work. The closure 751 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: was announced on Monday. Employee were given until midnight to 752 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: clean out their lockers. A go fundme fundraiser has been 753 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: started to support the affected staff and dancers. So so far, 754 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: the the page has raised more than seven hundred dollars, 755 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: all proceeds going directly to staff and dancers. And apparently 756 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: that seven hundred dollars is like all in ones. 757 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 5: Okay, did you imagine the lines. 758 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 6: Of strippers standing outside now of target Field Target Center 759 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 6: holding signs will strip for money? 760 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: The go fundme The co fundme pages founder Caroline Wilson said, 761 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: this wasn't just a club, this was a family. 762 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 5: By the way, was this ice? Was this ICE's fault too? Probably? 763 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: Let's see the website now list. The business is temporarily closed. 764 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: Located across the street from the Target Center.

I 768 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 6: believe that night, if you had a ticket stub, you 769 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 6: got free entry into the nightclub. 770 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 5: I never frequented the place. How do you know this? 771 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 6: Because I'm a man of the people, so I know 772 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 6: the things that people do. 773 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,479 Speaker 1: So you have a Texas based RCI Hospitality.
