1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Good morning, John Morning.

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: I think the biggest problem is is that there is

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: no respect for the Badge, and with the TV coverage

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: that we've had over the last month, that only enforces that.

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Lack of respect.

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: I hope that things change.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Thinks have a good day, No, I do too. Third

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: hour Twin Cities News Talk. For a Thursday AM eleven

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: thirty one or three five FM, we'll do another question

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: and answer from the end of Tom Holman's press conference

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: that we've been airing here on Twin Cities News Talk.

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: But you're absolutely right. I've actually been arguing with apparently

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Ellison, who is the son of a Keith Elson.

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's tweeting at me from Harvard

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: or posting from X from Harvard or not, but you

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: know you're over the target when you got Yahoo's like

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: like an Ellison coming out and wanting to challenge you

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: on X. He's not doing a very good job. But

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: to your point, right, there is no respect for the

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Badge and this is just a spreading of just lies

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and misinformation like one of the posts m Ellison says,

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: because he's all for abolishing ICE says, he's been wanting

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: to abolish ice forever. A lot of good that's not him,

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: been a lot of ice arrests. There are a lot

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: of ice arrests in the four years of Joe Biden

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: before Trump got back into office, like a lot, like

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: over six thousand. And it's funny because I don't know.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he did, but I don't know if Jeremiah Ellison

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: was complaining back then so ardently like he has been now.

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: But he posts abolish ice. They murder, They're unaccountable. If

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: a broad repression is needed in order for them to

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: do their job. They're not very good at what they do.

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm for competence, you're for violence. Okay, dude, thanks for

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: thanks for playing. I appreciate it. All right, let's do

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: just one more Q and A from the press conference

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: in tom Holman, and then we'll dive back into the

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: material of the morning, including Amy Kobashar, who made the

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: announcement at six am this morning that she will be

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: running on the Democrat ticket to be the governor. Here

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: in uh in Minnesota News Now at eight o'clock we're hearing.

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: For the.

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Yes we did. Okay, we were playing a game of

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: pausing the audio there and I think we actually lucked

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: out that we were we were able to pull it

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: off the way that we did. So our luck unfortunately

46
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: has run out. Let's go here.

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 5: Good morning, John, great show. Would you expand upon And

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting that Tom Wilman did not mention

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 5: Hannepin County Attorney Mary Murriarty, I'm really wondering about that

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 5: handover business, especially in Hannopan County. Thanks, have a great day.

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I just don't think that was relevant to the press

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: conference that he was giving today. I imagine that this

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: was all sort of part of the process of what

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Homan Walls Fry along with President Donald Trump earlier this week.

56
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: It came to in trying to go and change the

57
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: dynamics on the ground. Trump acted like a real leader.

58
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: He adjusted, brought Homan in, made the changes. Ice is

59
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: going to finish their job. That is the most important

60
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: aspect of all of this, Regardless of how we get there,

61
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: ICE is going to finish their job here in Minneapolis.

62
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Here in Minnesota. Listen, if it means the border Patrol

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: leaves because they weren't a part of this to begin with. Cool,

64
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: If it means that they left and in exchange Walls

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: and Fry, or at least Walls Minneapolis man maybe may

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: or Mom Jean's Jacob Fry continues to take this We're

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: not going to enforce any immigration laws whatsoever stands. It's

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: just sort of digging his own grave on that one.

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: But now they are using state patrol, they are using

70
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: local law enforcement, and they have been all week long.

71
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: We had a friend of the show that sent me

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: the information earlier this morning, Stephen Dozens were arrested outside

73
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: of a graduate hotel last night following a protest. Several

74
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: local and state law enforcement agencies arrested roughly forty protesters

75
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: outside the hotel following that protest. So we actually and

76
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: so isn't an amazing things Calm down. We don't have

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: the violence in the streets. We don't have the interactions

78
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: that we had. We don't see the images of Ice

79
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: going and detaining these individuals that the left wants to

80
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: go and grab onto without providing the proper context of

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: what got those individuals into a position where Ice had

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: to force their face to the ground and mace them,

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: making them all orange. Isn't it interesting now that you

84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: suddenly have local law enforcement working with federal law enforcement

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: that suddenly now we don't have this issue anymore, although

86
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: it does make me laugh that the mace is orange

87
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his looming orange face. And speaking of arrests,

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: a US Attorney General, Pam Bondi, yesterday made the announcement

89
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: of the arrest of several people in connection with the

90
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: assaults on federal agents during the recent violence against ICE.

91
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: In a post on x she said she was on

92
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: the ground of Minneapolis. She's still here now where she

93
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: said federal agents arrested sixteen rioters for allegedly insulting, assaulting,

94
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: and impeding federal law enforcement, and expects more arrests will follow.

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: If convicted. Those arrested relating to the US Penal Code,

96
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: which relates to assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees.

97
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Suspects could face up to twenty years in prison. Among

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: those arrested was Nostra Ahmed, who appeared to the Prescott

99
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: conference last week alongside Democratic lawmakers and claimed that she

100
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: was assaulted, kidnapped, and called a racial slur by ICE.

101
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 6: So I'm Somali. I'm proud to be Somali. To me,

102
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 6: being Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. It's a

103
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 6: it's a lot.

104
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 7: It's like it's a it's.

105
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 6: A it's an interesting thing. It's uh, it's very hard

106
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 6: to describe what means to be Somali and what it

107
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 6: means to be American. But it's like a cultural fusion.

108
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: It's kind of like the bananas and rice. You know,

109
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 6: people don't really see like, you know, it's a it's

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 6: a it's you know, people don't think, oh, you can

111
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 6: eat bananas with rice, But that's what it's like to

112
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 6: be Somali an American. It's like that combination of banana

113
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 6: and rice. But you're gonna get what I mean.

114
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: DHS said that uh Nostra assaulted a police officer and

115
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: spit on them. I wonder if she gets banana and

116
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: bananas and rice in jail.

117
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 8: Is that?

118
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Is that on the menu on Twin Cities FM one

119
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: O three point five and on iHeartRadio. I'm reminded once

120
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: again of the famous Rush Limbaugh having more fun than

121
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: a human beings should be allowed to have. I had

122
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: a moment when I was doing prep this morning. Hopefully

123
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: I'll have a chance to get to it. There is

124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: a There is an editorial in the Star Tribune this

125
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: morning from Rochelle Olsen. Rochelle Roshall, you can believe your eyes,

126
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: there's tyranny in the streets. So but one of the

127
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: examples that she use, that she uses to try to

128
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: bolster her criticism of what Ice is doing and rationalize

129
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the tyranny in the streets is Chris Maddele, who dropped

130
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: out of the Governor's race. I'm doing prep and I

131
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: saw that and I laughed out loud. But I realized

132
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: that the laugh that I did was actually uh one

133
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: that I had become accustomed to because of my dear

134
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: friend Drew. I went ah, because that's how he used

135
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: to always laugh. It was a nice it was a

136
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: nice little moment. I felt like Drew was with me.

137
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: This was all Listen. I bring all this up right

138
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: now on Twin City's News talk because on the talkbacks,

139
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys are cracking me up this morning.

140
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: So I played this clip a moment ago, and I

141
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: want to spend a few minutes just talking about how

142
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: ridiculous democrats are. Now you may be thinking to yourself, John,

143
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: that's what you do every single show. Yeah, no, I know,

144
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: But I'm going to be sort of focused in my

145
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: in my criticism here, because time and time again they

146
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: exposed themselves for their false narratives. You know, individuals who

147
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: they want to prop up to be role models and leaders,

148
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: they get arrested. I was talking about how City council

149
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: member Jeremiah Ellison was arguing with me on X a

150
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: while ago, just dropping profanity left and right, irrational arguments

151
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: about abolishing ICE, ridiculous commentary about me, You're for violence.

152
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: It's all ridiculous nonsense, including the woman that we talked

153
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: about earlier. After the FEDS announced the arrests of the

154
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Minneapolis area rioters for allegedly assaulting and impeding law enforcement.

155
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: One of those was Nocera Ahmed, appear to the press

156
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: conference last week alongside Democrat lawmakers, claiming that she was assaulted, kidnapped,

157
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: and called the racial slur. And what's really interesting about

158
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: this is that if all those things were true, that's horrible,

159
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: that's awful. There should be charges and those ICE agents

160
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: should be held accountable. And yet have you seen any

161
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: charges against any ICE agents beyond the more egregious events

162
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: that are currently under investigation. Has there been a single lawsuit,

163
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: a single legal complaint filed against any of the ICE

164
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: agents for what they've been doing. What article writers like

165
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: Rachelle Olsen, what the article writers of the Minnesota Reformer

166
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: commentators Ellison, you name it now, of course not. But

167
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: also during that press conference, she went on this little brant, so.

168
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 6: I'm Somali, I'm proud to be Somali. To me beink

169
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 6: Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. It's uh, it's

170
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 6: a lot. It's like, it's uh, it's uh, it's an

171
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 6: interesting thing. It's uh. It's very hard to describe what

172
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 6: means to be Somali and what it means to be American.

173
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 6: But it's like a cultural fusion. And it's kind of

174
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 6: like the bananas and rice. You know, people don't really

175
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 6: see like, you know, it's a it's a it's you know,

176
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 6: people don't think, oh, you can eat bananas with rice,

177
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 6: but that's what it's like to be Somali an American.

178
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: It's like that combination of banana and rice. But you're

179
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 6: gonna get what I mean.

180
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: I didn't edit. I didn't edit any of that, by

181
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: the way. That was that's all I edited that little

182
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,119
Speaker 1: for those forty six seconds. That's that is just exactly

183
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: how it happened in real life. But you guys are

184
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: cracking me up.

185
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: Yes, John, that's why she committed the assault as they

186
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: gave it a rice and she's like, where's my banana?

187
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: And uh, you know they don't stand for that.

188
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: There's your uh, Devin, there's your hour three podcast title.

189
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Where's my where's my banana? My job's easy today. Hey,

190
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: good morning, John. Great show is always say.

191
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 9: I am an Italian American and I love.

192
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: Hamburgers in praz Hamburgers in praz Hamburgers in Pras.

193
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Let me talk serious about her comment for a moment.

194
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: First off, let's give just a little bit of grace.

195
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 10: All right.

196
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: It's not easy to speak in public. I was talking

197
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: to my youngest about this the other day, because you know,

198
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: he's nineteen and he has an issue of talking to

199
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: people in public. He's just not used to it. That

200
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: was my biggest fear when I was a kid, just

201
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: like him, I dreaded in school ever being called up

202
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: to the front of the classroom. It terrified me. It

203
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: was my probably one of my biggest fears, even more

204
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: so than flying, was public speaking. But that changed as

205
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: I ended up becoming a public real estate auctioneer and

206
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: ended up reading off these scripts in front of large

207
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: gro of individuals selling off homes and high rises in

208
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and Orange County. And I got over that fear.

209
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: And it was through that where I heard an advertisement

210
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: one day while listening to Rush Limbaugh of all people

211
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: on KFI in Los Angeles, that I heard in advertisement

212
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: for the Academy of Radio Broadcasting. And the rest is

213
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: the rest is history. So it's difficult when you're speaking

214
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: in public. But more to the point I wanted to

215
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: make see, the problem was she was catching herself. You see,

216
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that woman was afraid to go and

217
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: speak positive about anything relating to America. And truth of

218
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: the matter is, what is it like to be a

219
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,359
Speaker 1: Somali in America? A Somali American? It's just like being

220
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: anybody else in America if you're here legally, Why should

221
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: it be any different. You have your own culture. We

222
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: all do. We all have our own I mean, even

223
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: if we're not attached to something beyond just being American, right,

224
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we just we all have the own culture

225
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: that we create for ourselves. And so being a Somali

226
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: in America should just really be like being anybody in America.

227
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: But she was too afraid to go and speak nice

228
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: about America because that doesn't fit into the narratives. And

229
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: that wasn't the reason why she was there. She was

230
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: there with other local leaders to go and complain essentially

231
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: about America. So that's why she got stuck on bananas

232
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: and rice, because she was afraid to say anything positive,

233
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: just like that other woman, you know what, like a

234
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: month ago, talking about the fraud and had to stop

235
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: herself when she said, do you know there is fraud

236
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: and fraud is bad? And she's like, oh, well, wait,

237
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not supposed to say that fraud is

238
00:14:53,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: fraud is bad. But what's so ridiculous about everything? Right now?

239
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep hammering this. It doesn't have to be

240
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: this way. The Democrats have absolutely been co opted by

241
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: the radical left, and they do not resemble the party

242
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: that they used to be. And we're talking not even

243
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: that long ago, I mean ten years relatively speaking. You know,

244
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: when you're younger, that's that's an attorney. That's a lifetime.

245
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: When you're older, it passes by in an instant. And

246
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: yet go back a little farther than that individuals that

247
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: now want to be governor of the state of Minnesota.

248
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: Amy Klobashar, who used to sound like a Republican when

249
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: talking about these issues, is Klobashar.

250
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 11: Thursday, President Bush signed a law approving a seven hundred

251
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 11: mile fence on the US Mexican border. Is a fence

252
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 11: good immigration policy or just good politics?

253
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: I do believe that we need more resources at the border,

254
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: and that that includes a fence, But we have now

255
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: we have people waiting to come in legally, thousands of

256
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: people waiting to come in legally to this country, and

257
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: we have people coming in illegally.

258
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: That's not right. We need to get order at the border.

259
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: But we also have to stop giving amnesty to companies

260
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: that are hiring illegal immigrants.

261
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Where do I mean? That's completely contrary to her commentary today.

262
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: What changed? Former President Barack Obama talking about getting frustrated

263
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: at the Bush administration going back to two thousand and eight.

264
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 8: Bush administration has done nothing to control the.

265
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: Problem that we had.

266
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 8: We've had five million undocumented workers come over the borders

267
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 8: since George Bush took office. It has become an extraordinary problem,

268
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 8: and the reasoningly American people are concerned is because they

269
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 8: are seeing their own economic positions slip away, and oftentimes

270
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 8: employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying the

271
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 8: minimum wage, they're not observing worker safety laws. As President,

272
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 8: I will make sure that we finally have the kind

273
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 8: of border security that we need.

274
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: You ever, ask yourself, why is it? Could could you

275
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: imagine right now if you had Democrats speaking that way,

276
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: and what we could actually do as a nation to

277
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: stop the crime taking place, saving people's lives on the

278
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: street right now because they're broken and brainwashed thinking that

279
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: they're actually pushing back on a modern day Gestapo, because

280
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: that's what Governor Tim Walls told them. We have too

281
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: many broken and brainwashed people in this country right now

282
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: who maybe ought to spend some time going back and

283
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: listening to the past darlings of the Democrat Party and

284
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: how they used to talk about immigration, and if they

285
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: were here today, we wouldn't even be in this situation

286
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: right now. You wouldn't have people getting in the way

287
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: of vice agents, and if you did, you would have

288
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: law enforcement there to be the block between the federal

289
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: agents doing the job that they need to do to

290
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: arrest the illegal criminals. Here in Minnesota and across this

291
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: country and keeping people out of harm's way.

292
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 10: Won't you at least consider unilaterally freezing deportations for the

293
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 10: parents of Deferred Action kids.

294
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 12: Here's the problem that I have, Jose, and I've said

295
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 12: this consistently. My job in the executive branch is supposed

296
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 12: to be to carry out the laws that are passed.

297
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 12: Congress has said, here's the law when it comes to

298
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 12: those who are undocumented, and they allocate a whole bunch

299
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 12: of money for enforcement. And what I have been able

300
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 12: to do is to make a legal argument that I

301
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 12: think is at right, which is that given the resources

302
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 12: we have, we can't do everything that Congress has asked

303
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 12: us to do. What we can do is then carve

304
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 12: out the Dream Act folks, saying, young people who have

305
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 12: basically grown up here are Americans that we should welcome.

306
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 12: We're not going to have them operate under a cloud,

307
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 12: under a shadow.

308
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: But the important aspect of what he was saying as

309
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: he talks about the Dreamers and the DACA, my job

310
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: in the executive branch is supposed to be to carry

311
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: out the laws that are passed. Let's go back even further,

312
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: because these weren't unique positions to former President Barack Obama.

313
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't a unique position to Amy klobash Are back

314
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, and it wasn't a unique

315
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: position for Bill Clinton going back to the nineties.

316
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 7: All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected,

317
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 7: but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed

318
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 7: by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.

319
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 7: The jobs they home might otherwise be held by.

320
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: Citizens or legal immigrants.

321
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 7: The public service they use impose burdens on our tax players.

322
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 7: That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our

323
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 7: borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards.

324
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: I would love to see any media outlet ask Amy

325
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: Klobashar Governor Tim Walls, Minneapolis, Mambaby Me or Mom Jeans,

326
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Jacob Frye, Keith Ellison, Amy, do you disagree with your

327
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: past self in two thousand and six? Do you disagree

328
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton and former President Barack Obama when they

329
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: were staunch supporters of closing our borders and holding illegal

330
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: aliens accountable. We're not even talking about criminal illegal aliens.

331
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, We're not even in a position of

332
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: what we are having to argue for now relating to

333
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: what Ice is doing and getting the worst of the

334
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: worst off the streets. We're just talking about people who

335
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: only came into the country illegally. So for U foes

336
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: of the show, for the Elesons out there, for the

337
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: leftist mayors here in Minnesota, were they wrong? And if

338
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: they are, what's changed? Why is their positions? Why were

339
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: their positions different then than they are now. I would

340
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: love to hear any media outlet ask any of them,

341
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: especially those that would like to be governor now, why

342
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: suddenly their position or not suddenly, but why those positions

343
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: of the past are no longer relevant today. That would

344
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: be actual, real journalism. But this is me talking to

345
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: you through this microphone, not holding my breath for fear

346
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't be alive when I come back from

347
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: the commercial break.

348
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 13: Good morning, John and Devin. These clips that you're playing

349
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 13: of Abe clovichar in the past versus today make great

350
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 13: campaign commercials for any Republican candidate that plans to run

351
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 13: against her, And I would run them all day long

352
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 13: and point.

353
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: Out the hypocrisy of this woman, so she.

354
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 13: Does not have the opportunity to sit over in the

355
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 13: State Capitol Building.

356
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 9: Hello, America, I may bee pubisher and I.

357
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: Will beat whoever the GOP nominee is. Oh, this is

358
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Although annoying, I admit that I'll do

359
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the best I can. Guys, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have

360
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: to cover this. It's my job. I want to cover this.

361
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: But Nami Kobaeshawer is now the Democrat nominee for governor

362
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: here in Minnesota because, as Tim Walls said yesterday, I.

363
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 10: Have no political consideration, will never run for an elected

364
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 10: office again, never again, never again, and I will just

365
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 10: do the work.

366
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: Although we'll be Will he be appointed somewhere? I don't

367
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: see that happening, by the by the way, I think

368
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: he's too toxic for Democrats right now. But we'll we'll see. Unfortunately, though,

369
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: that means that we are going to be hearing quite

370
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: a bit from Amy Klobashaw.

371
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 9: You are waking up today and you're gonna see me

372
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 9: and your Twitter account because I made it here at

373
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 9: one fifteen am through the snow. Donald Trump wins called

374
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 9: me snow woman for a reason.

375
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: Not a single thing he said is accurate. All right,

376
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Made me laugh.

377
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 14: Bind up quote repeating.

378
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: Line i'lated an effective strategy to mobilize true in our

379
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: stubber depression. All right, let me get it together. It's

380
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: time for your talk back of the day. Your talk

381

Speaker 1: back of the day is brought to you by Mini Leaf,

382
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: of which I have not been indulging in this morning

383
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: because you were wondering, am I in any l EAF

384
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: dot com minileif dot com? They do bring you your

385
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: talk back of the day, and it is in reference

386
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: to my favorite SoundBite of the morning.

387
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 6: So I'm Somali. I'm proud to be Somali. To me, bink,

388
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 6: Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice.

389
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 8: I'm sorry for the noise, guys, but I'll make this

390
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 8: real quick.

391
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: Bananas and rice, what's real? I thought that was ai no, no, no, no, no.

392
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: Bananas and rice was unfortunately very very real to me.

393
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 6: Think Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. It's it's

394
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: a lot. It's like it's like a cultural.

395
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 11: Kind of like the bananas.

396
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: That is your talk back of the day. It's brought

Speaker 1: com to check out all of their amazing products.

400
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, John, that's what I was thinking, is that it's

401
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 3: so difficult to speak in public. That bananas and rice

402
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: was like the code word for somebody helped me out here,

403
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: you know, somebody get me off this stage and out

404
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: from in front of these cameras. You know, she's like

405
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 3: bananas and rice.

406
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: It's the safe.

407
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: Words, bananas and rice.

408
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 12: And bananas and rice.

409
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: Was like yesterday's code word, and she forgot today's.

410
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: Since she's got to keep saying it.

411
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so awkward.

412
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 15: Hey, John, you're right, speaking in public can be difficult

413
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 15: for sure, but before you put somebody out in public

414
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 15: to speak, you should make sure they have something legitimate

415
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 15: to say. This boy had nothing legitimate to say. This

416
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 15: is the equivalent of Hi, I'm a politician. Meet Cindy.

417
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 15: Something bad happened to Cindy. Do you feel bad enough

418
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 15: for Cindy to vote for my legislation that I can't

419
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 15: get pasted otherwise?

420
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Here, feel bad?

421
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 15: Feel bad? Vote because this is really bad.

422
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: It's like every single goal Democrat press conference as of late.

423
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: You are absolutely correct. You guys are on fire today.

424
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 14: It's clear why the Democrats have changed. They are progressives.

425
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 14: They progressively move toward the left further and further all

426
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 14: the time. Conservatives are stable, consistent because they have the

427
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 14: right policies, and when you have the right policies, you

428
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 14: do not change them.

429
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: Saint Paul is considering an ordinance to require federal agents

430
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: to show clear identification. Is this a problem? According to

431
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Ward six council member Nelsey Yang, they're wearing vests that

432
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: say police on it, and we don't actually know what

433
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: that means. What it's causing so much confusion? Are those

434
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Saint Paul police officers?

435
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 7: I mean.

436
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: It should just does it matter. We don't want to

437
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: protest those guys. We want to protest those guys who

438
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: do we obstruct. We need to know which officers to obstruct.

439
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean you should leave all law enforcement alone, in

440
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: which case it doesn't really matter what it is that

441
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: they're wearing. But that's what this ends up being about. Listen,

442
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: the Left wouldn't do this if they felt that they

443
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: were winning the arguments. This is simply to bolster the

444
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: fake narratives. To that point, Minnesota Representative Leave Finkey he

445
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: wants to unmask ICE agents operating in the Twin Cities.

446
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: The agents are bringing state violence into Minnesota, Finky said

447
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Capitol Rotunda. His bill would prohibit law

448
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: enforcement agents, including federal forces, from wearing masks while working,

449
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 1: with an exception for public health needs. Oh okay, so

450
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: he ended up getting around the whole ridiculous COVID nonsense.

451
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: I do not believe that it's the agents who are unsafe.

452
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: He's also introducing a separate bill that would require vehicles

453
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: used by law enforcement to transport people to be clearly

454
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: marked as a law enforce vehicle and be equipped to

455
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: safely transport people. Minnesota should not be a place where

456
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: people are abducted off the street by masked, unidentified in

457
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: men in unmarked vans. And again, this is the same

458
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: thing as the whole cop situation. They just want the

459
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: ability to go and continue to protest and make sure

460
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: that they can target the right vehicles. So yesterday Governor

461
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Tim Wall sat down in an interview with ms Now

462
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: wherein he talked about never running for public office again.

463
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Here is a longer section of that clip where he

464
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: made that comment.

465
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 10: We're already doing it.

466
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 16: Do you regret jumping out before I was a bunch

467
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 16: of moment.

468
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 10: No, And part of it was to look, I recognize

469
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 10: that I'm a lightning rod and this is a tough

470
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 10: it's a tough space for I'm in because I know

471
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 10: they hate me personally and they take it out on

472
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 10: my constituents because old white guys who are former governors

473
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 10: tend to land on their feet. Okay type of thing,

474
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 10: but in all fairness, on the timing, I removed myself

475
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 10: and two days later Renee Good is murdered. But I

476
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 10: think one of the things is is I have no

477
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 10: political consideration, will never run for an elected office again,

478
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 10: never again, never again, and I will just do the work.

479
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 10: And what I found is again I'm going to say this,

480
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 10: there's heroes on the streets that we don't know their names.

481
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 10: They're never going to run for office. And those Grasstop

482
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 10: leaders brought this administration to their needs this week to

483
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 10: do something about it. So there's other ways to serve

484
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 10: and I'll find them.

485
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot more to unpack with that. We will

486
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: on tomorrow's show. Representative Max Reimer, RNC Committee Man Ak

487
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: Kamara Catherine Johnson from American Experiment will be joining us

488
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: for a Freedom Friday but that was pretty far removed

489
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: from one running for reelection, excited to run for reelection,

490
00:29:53,240 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: and then all the informed speculations around his desire to

491
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: run for the presidency in twenty twenty eight to now

492
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: not ever running for anything at all, Which lends me

493
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: to believe that while he's trying to raise funds for

494
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: his legal defense now and that's out in public, he's

495
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: been sending out all kinds of texts and encouraging people

496
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: to donate to help his defense fund. I think he

497
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: knows that he's going to have to deal with some

498
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: legal issues down the line. It's also a far cry

499
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: from just a couple of weeks ago when he said.

500
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 17: Expect for the next eleven months for me to ride

501
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 17: you like you've never been ridden.

502
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: And now we're at so I have no political consideration.

503
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 10: We'll never run for an elected office again, never again,

504
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 10: never again, and I will just do the work.

505
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: He also went in a recent interview and blamed President

506
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump for ilhan Omar being scorted at with applesider

507
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: vinegar at an event. We now know that's what it is.

508
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: It was apple vinegar that that creates the person went

509
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: and tried to score it at her you.

510
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 10: Blamed President Trump or what this pack represent the Well, certainly,

511
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 10: it's it's the phone that's in this country.

512
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 14: This is offense said. I think it goes back.

513
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: It's hard to hear that. I'm gonna stop it there.

514
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: But basically he talks about it's the you know, it's

515
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: the fomenting and it's the rhetoric that ended up bringing

516
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing, you know, all the garbage, nonsense and

517
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy that he usually goes and shares in situations

518
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: like this. This is probably my favorite clip, and if

519
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: of all the clips that is going to infuriate you,

520
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: it's one where they're talking about the ramp and fraud.

521
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Before I share this with you, I do want to

522
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: get to this comment regarding the previous clip of Wall

523
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: saying he's never gonna run for office ease.

524
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 10: I have no political consideration. We'll never run for an

525
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 10: elected office again, never again, never again, and I will

526
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 10: just do the worry.

527
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: I get a kick out of Wall saying he's never

528
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: gonna run ranny at elected office again. I don't think

529
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 4: he'll ever. He's received more than enough money under the

530
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: table and contributions from people that stole from us that

531
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: he allowed that money to go out the door and

532
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 4: man will never work again in the day of his life.

533
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: So he was asked about the fraud yesterday. Here's his response.

534
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: You got to listen carefully to what he kind of

535
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: snuck in here.

536
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 16: You mentioned this fraud investigation and the reason that they're here.

537
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 16: Is there anything you think when you look back you

538
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 16: could have done differently to prevent them from showing up

539
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 16: and doing what they're doing here?

540
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 10: No, no, they were coming anyway. We had this was

541
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 10: it was all make believe that we've been at it.

542
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 10: Every state had this and look.

543
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: It was all make believe? What what was all make believe?

544
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: It's more of an again courtesy to Bill walshit American

545
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: experiment for this, but more of Governor Tim Walls and

546
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: his shorthand speak.

547
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 16: You mentioned this fraud investigation and the reason that they're here.

548
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 16: Is there anything you think when you look back you

549
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 16: could have done differently to prevent them from showing up

550
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 16: and doing what they're doing here?

551
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 10: No, No, they were coming anyway we had this was

552
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 10: it was all believe that we've been at it. Every

553
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 10: state had this, and look, I do think there there

554
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 10: has to be accountability in this. No one in state

555
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 10: government was implicated. This happens all over people did this,

556
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 10: we fight, you know, we got it caught, we put

557
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 10: him in jail or whatever.

558
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am a little concerned about Walls doing the work.

559
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 15: What exactly does he mean doing the work?

560
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good Uh, that's a good point.

561
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 17: Maybe he means expect for the next eleven months for

562
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 17: me to ride you like you've never been ridden.

563
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 18: Brewce Springsteen just released the protest Sarn about what's going

564
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 18: on here in Minnesota. It's got all of the usual

565
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 18: stuff you would expect. I think it's called fun Heer

566
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 18: in Lilliapolis.

567
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: No, it's it's called the Streets of Minneapolis. And it's

568
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: about as cringey as you would expect it to be.

569
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: But this is all the Democrats have. Listen, it's dangerous.

570
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to. I don't want new

571
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: downplay right the concerns that we have. But it's all dangerous,

572
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: especially with what they've been encouraging people to do on

573
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: the on the streets. But this is their live action

574
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: role playing. This is how they fill the void in

575
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: their life. It's going back to the old hippie dippy

576
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: protest songs. Bruce Springsteen out there during his concerts overseas.

577
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's in Europe performing and he's complaining about Trump.

578
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, and it's the song is absolutely ridiculous. But hey, listen,

579
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: if that's your cup of tea, if you're a Democrat,

580
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: then uh then then god speed to you. Somebody did

581
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: ask me though, whether or not Bananas and Rice was

582
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: a better rock band or race horse.

583
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 6: That's so, I'm Somali. I'm proud to be Somali. To

584
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 6: me think Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. It's

585
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 6: it's a lot. It's like, it's uh, it's uh, it's

586
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 6: an interesting thing. It's uh. It's very hard to describe

587
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 6: what means to be Somali and what it means to

588
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 6: be American. But it's like a cultural fusion. It's kind

589
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 6: of like the bananas and rice.

590
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 17: John you beat me to it.

591
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 10: My new safe word is bananas and rice. Bananas and rice.

592
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard McDonald's is putting bananas and rice on

593
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 3: the menu soon.

594
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: You know what is good? And you wouldn't think it

595
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 1: was actually Dale earn Hard Junior that turned me onto

596
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: this so just uh, just plain bread. You do like

597
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: white bread, right, Uh? Mayonnaise and banana it's actually really good.

598
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean bananas and rice. Isn't it actually sound all

599
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: that bad to be, to be honest with you, I

600
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: just but no, yeah, just it's mayo and bananas on

Speaker 1: regular bread. It's actually quite to It's Craig tasty, hey,

602
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: John said doing the work. Oh you know what, I'm

00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: gonna stop. I'm not going to play the rest of
