He's 67 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 9: just one of the three thousand mislabeled immigrants. 68 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: Now you really sound like the racist that you are. 69 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: Have a good day.

So we'll talk more about 74 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: the latest controversy of the less attempt to go and 75 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: vilify and demonize Ice and what and what they're doing. 76 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: Here's Jdvan's addressing the issue and the controversy surrounding this 77 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: alleged to five year old that was detained, the. 78 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 10: Fact that we're standing behind law enforcement, and I'm proud 79 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 10: of the fact that we're enforcing the country's laws. But 80 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 10: you know, you asked a question about this five year 81 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 10: old kid. I actually saw this terrible story while I 82 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 10: was coming to Minneapolis. We just left Toledo, Ohio this 83 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 10: morning for an economic Messengange event, and I see this story. 84 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 10: And I'm a father of a five year old, actually 85 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 10: a five year old little boy, and I think to myself, pauh, 86 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 10: my god, this is terrible. How did we arrest a 87 00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 10: five year old? 88 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 8: Well, I do a little bit. 89 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 10: More follow up research, and what I find is that 90 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 10: the five year old was not arrested, that his dad 91 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 10: was an illegal alien, and then when they went to 92 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 10: arrest his illegal alien. 93 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 8: Father, the father ran. 94 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 10: So the story is that ICE detained a five year old. Well, 95 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 10: what are they supposed to do. Are they supposed to 96 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 10: let a five year old child freeze to death? Are 97 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 10: they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in the 98 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 10: United States of America. If the argument is that you 99 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 10: can't arrest people who have violated our laws because they 100 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 10: have children. 101 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 8: Then every single parent is going to. 102 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 10: Be completely given immunity from ever being. 103 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 8: The subject of law enforcement. 104 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 10: That doesn't make any sense. No one thinks that makes 105 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 10: any sense. Now, you know, there are so many of 106 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 10: these cases like that where if you just understand the context. 107 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 10: There have been a number of situations that I've looked 108 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 10: into personally where I say, wait a second, we don't 109 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 10: want ICE arresting American citizens. They're supposed to be enforcing 110 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 10: the immigration. 111 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 8: Laws against the legal aliens. 112 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 10: So then I look into it, and I find out 113 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 10: that the American citizen who was arrested took a swing 114 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 10: at an ICE office. Yep. 115 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: And we have the list here for ALFA News they 116 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: put together. 117 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: They compiled a number of these differ into circumstances where 118 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: these videos have been shared around attempting to vilify and 119 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: demonize ICE. And I want to read the official statement 120 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: on this particular story since it's the latest one is 121 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: the one that's grabbing the headlines here in just a moment, 122 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: I want to give the opportunity for the guests or 123 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the Freedom Friday guests to comment here. And Catherine Johnson 124 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: has joined us. We'll talk to her in just a second. 125 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: But I want to mention just this one thing before 126 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: we get to that. 127 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: Two the talkbackers. 128 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: That don't agree with me to the individual that just 129 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: left one just to admit, when you see the truth 130 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: come out about these stories, you can still not be 131 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: happy about ice. You can still go and criticize them 132 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: if you think that it is inappropriate what they are 133 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: doing right now in terms of their law enforcement. But 134 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: what I see is this just complete dismissal of when 135 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: the facts are presented. It's almost like individuals double down 136 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: and won't accept the truth when. 137 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: It's even presented to them. 138 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: There is video evidence out there of what transpired that shows. 139 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: Exactly what had happened. 140 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: And again i'll get to the actual official statement here 141 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: from DHS regarding this particular issue, and this was focused 142 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: specifically on ilhan Omar because she had shared this as well. 143 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: But we will welcome in our next guest, Catherine Johnson 144 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 1: from American Experiment. 145 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 11: Good morning, Good morning. 146 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 12: I think too, it's so interesting that people have to 147 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 12: suspend logic and common sense to really buy into these 148 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 12: narratives like the kid being left in the cold with 149 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 12: his dad. I mean, from the start, you would think well, 150 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 12: what are they doing with them? I mean, are they 151 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 12: going to leave the kid behind? The mom doesn't want 152 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 12: the kid, what are they gonna do with the kid. 153 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 11: Just leave it. 154 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 12: Out, use some common sense, some logic, and people are 155 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 12: just so willing to eat up these narratives and not even. 156 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 11: Think about it for themselves. 157 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. 158 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 7: It's one of those things where I said before the break, 159 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 7: it's when controversies like this happen, the Left operates in 160 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 7: half truth, like they want to push the half truth 161 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 7: of a situation and then use it to inflame tensions 162 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 7: in the cities. Because every one of these cases has 163 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 7: an explanation.

So it's one of those 168 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 7: things where you have to take into account that this 169 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 7: still is a body of law enforcement, right they do 170 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 7: have the power to arrest, to conduct investigations, and in 171 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 7: a lot of these cases it's people impeding investigations. 172 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: And then the cameras turn on you. 173 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 7: Know, the camera turns on to show you what happens 174 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 7: after the fact that they're arrested. 175 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: And it makes me glad that we've had this really 176 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 5: drastic shift in messaging from the like a presidential administration 177 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: and all agencies, because I think even like five years ago, 178 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 5: you wouldn't have seen an agency like DHS pushing back 179 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 5: as clearly and harshly almost on these false narratives that 180 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 5: are floating around. They might quietly put out a press 181 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 5: with this says like, no, this is what actually happened. 182 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 5: But it's great to have such strong leaders going out there. 183 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 5: I mean take jd Vance for one, and I mean 184 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 5: calling the left on their bs. 185 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: To the story that you were referring to a second ago, Max, 186 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: And we've talked about this on the show this week. 187 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: This Chongley Scott Tao. 188 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: He was a one escort into the freezing temperatures, drawing 189 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: rebuke from dfllers. I'm working out the Alpha news story. 190 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: Federal officials were looking for two sex offenders at the time, 191 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: either in that house or near that house. They found 192 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: this individual. He refused to cooperat or share his identity, 193 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: and he matched the description of the individuals that they 194 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: were looking for. They took him into custody, they've verified 195 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: as identity, and they brought him back. We talked earlier 196 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: this week about the mini excuse me the Brooklyn Park 197 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: Police Chief Mark Browley, claiming that an off duty officer 198 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: with his agency was stopped by Ice. Brulely identified the 199 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: officer as a person of color, said the officer tried 200 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: to record the encounter with her phone, but ICE knocked 201 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: the phone out of the way. In a statement to Alphanews, 202 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: the dhspokesperson said, DHS is able to find no record 203 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: of ICE or Border patrol stopping and questioning a police 204 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: officer without a name. We cannot verify these claims. We 205 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: will continue to look into these claims. That comes on 206 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: the heels of the Ogala Sioux tribe wherein they said 207 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: the Native Americans we talked about this last week were 208 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: taken into custody that turned out to be wrong. That 209 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: also comes on the heels of the viral video spread 210 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: online that showed a man with an alleged Nazi SS 211 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: tattoo on his neck. They were describing him as an 212 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: ICE agent. The assistant secretary of DHS said the man 213 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: was not an ICE agent. We covered the story yesterday 214 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: of the flash Bang family faker.

As agents approached the driver, this would be Araus, 368 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: fled on foot, abandoning his child. Later, for the child's safety, 369 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: one of our ICE officers remained with the child while 370 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: the officers apprehended Areus.

This 373 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: is consistent with the past administration's immigration enforcement. Parents can 374 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: take control of their departure and receive a free flight 375 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: and twenty six hundred dollars with CPB and their home app. 376 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: By using the CPB home app, illegal aliens reserve a 377 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: chance to come back the right legal way. 378 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: The thing that one of. 379 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: The things that drives me nuts about the misinformation that 380 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: gets spread beyond the lies and the hoaxes and the 381 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: lack of follow up for the mainstream media, is we 382 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: only hear about these types of stories when it's politically 383 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: expedient for the left to go and exploit them. Children 384 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: are taken into custody all the time because their parents 385 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: go and do something stupid. It's like it happens every 386 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: single day. Yeah, and you never ever hear about it. 387 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: It's only an issue when this can be used by 388 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: the left to go and perpetuate a narrative. Now, real quick, 389 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: before we get back to our guests, Angie Craig, who 390 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: may be floundering in this Senate run. Yeah, I think 391 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: she's in trouble. She posted this online in the wake 392 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: of this story. We'll see if she ends up posting 393 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: a follow up after you hear this. 394 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 15: So now I is using a five year old boy. 395 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 15: A five year old boy. They took him and used 396 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 15: him to lure his father out, and now they've detained 397 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 15: them vothe the family doesn't know where they are. This 398 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 15: is the worst of the damn worst. 399 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 11: This is not. 400 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 15: Humanity in Minnesota. Folks, if you can look at this 401 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 15: five year old and actually with a straight face still 402 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 15: support and be silent in the face of what the 403 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 15: Trump administration and christinom is doing. I just can't even 404 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 15: believe this is America. I will not vote for a 405 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 15: damn penny to Christinome or ice in this Congress. This 406 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 15: is a time where we should all be outraged. If 407 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 15: this doesn't pierce through your humanity as a Republican member 408 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 15: of Congress, you can't speak out about this, then you've 409 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 15: got no humanity left. 410 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 7: Because she says damn one more time, maybe she'll maybe 411 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 7: you will stand her point. Got a guess why do 412 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 7: our Minnesota politicians just have these contrived swear words to 413 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 7: make a point. But Angie Craig's former colleague, who was 414 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 7: not exactly a far right former congressman Dean Phillips said 415 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 7: this in disagreement with Angie Craig. Since I hate misinformation, 416 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 7: I acknowledge that the little boy was abandoned by his father, 417 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 7: who fled Ice. I witnessed great compassion from CBP agents 418 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 7: towards abandoned children when I visited the Southern border a 419 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 7: few years ago. And this little boy is in good hands. 420 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 7: That's Dean Phillips.

Let's go here, Hey, good morning. 480 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 2: Can somebody explain to me why politicians find it so 481 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: necessary to be cussing all the time. 482 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 4: I just find it very ignorant because they do not 483 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 4: have a better vocabulary than. 484 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 18: F bombs and everything else that they're coming up with 485 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 18: There must have. 486 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: Been some focus group over the course of the past 487 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: few years where somebody within you know, Democrat consulting looked 488 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: at the data and said that when you use, you know, profanity, 489 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: it helps to bolster your point. Because it wasn't like 490 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: a slow turn. It was like somebody flipped the switch. Yeah, 491 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: and then everybody started cursing. We have a Grace and 492 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: Catherine from American Experiment. Representative Max Rymer earning in a 493 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: studio this morning. Anybody have any comments on profanity usage 494 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: by our politicians. 495 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 8: No. 496 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 7: I think they think that it is relatable, that it 497 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 7: helps them connect with the middle class if you cuss. 498 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 7: But Tina Smith, our senator who is retiring, she is 499 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 7: the most notorious for it there is. It feels like 500 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 7: she doesn't know when to swear, like she like she 501 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 7: doesn't do it, it's just how to swear. 502 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: It's very awkward. It's very awkward when she drops the profanity. 503 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: I'll give you that. 504 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. I think people, especially like Jacob Frye, 505 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 3: like they. 506 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: Just think that it makes them seem more passionate or 507 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 5: like they really really care about whatever, you know, issue 508 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 5: they're yelling about that day. 509 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: But it just comes across as very and authentic. It 510 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 3: feels very forced. 511 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: Speaking of Minneapolis man, maybe me or mom jeans. I 512 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: was going to wait on this, but then't you brought 513 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: him up. I'll go ahead and play it. 514 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: So this popped up yesterday on my social media on feeds. 515 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: So it's Jacob Fry. 516 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: Somebody's obviously running with him because he's running and he 517 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: doesn't he's not holding anything, so somebody's must be jogging 518 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: along with him when he records this video. So he 519 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: post this up and he says, I hear the jd 520 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: Vance is in town. 521 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 2: I wanted to respond to that. 522 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: The video, though, is a repost, so he had because 523 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: it's beautiful outside. Okay, it's absolutely beautiful outside when he's running. 524 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: Here's grass on the ground, there's leaves on the tree. Okay, okay. 525 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: So he apparently had kept this video that he had 526 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: allegedly posted in the past, grabbed it and decided to 527 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: repost it in the wake of jd Vance and his 528 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: visit to the Twin Cities. 529 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 17: Yesterday, Hey jd Vance, I saw you're in town, but 530 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 17: you never said hello. 531 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 2: He got a couple of things wrong. 532 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 17: You called Minneapolis a city in decline. 533 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: Here's the thing. 534 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 17: We were rated as the happiest city in the entire country. 535 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 17: We're rated as having the best park system in the 536 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 17: entire country, a great place for recent college grads. 537 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: Downtown's coming back. Guess what else. The last several years, 538 00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 2: crime's been dropping. 539 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 17: By the way, he said, love your people more than 540 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 17: you love your ideology. Here in Minneapolis, we love our 541 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 17: city more than we played partisan politics. 542 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 2: That's the way to go. Let me know next time 543 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: you hear he's so proud of that video. 544 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 5: Listening to that audio only without seeing him running, was. 545 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: You know exactly what it looks like. 546 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: It's just a close up of him wearing some Runners shirts. 547 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 12: This video gives me like PTSD because I don't know 548 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 12: if you remember Grace. Bill Walsh, an American experiment, he's 549 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 12: our VP of communications, was obsessed with I mean, this 550 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 12: video is ripe for someone to just debunk everything he's saying. 551 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 12: It's full of absurdities. He wanted to do a running 552 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 12: video so bad to get back against Mayor Fry, and 553 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 12: we were all like, no, we're not going to go 554 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 12: outside and run with you. No one wants to see 555 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 12: any of us running. This is we're not doing the 556 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 12: running video. 557 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 11: I think to this day he probably wants to do 558 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 11: the running video. 559 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: Jd Vance yesterday wanted to send a message to local 560 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Minneappols officials that would include the man Baby mayor Jacob Frye. 561 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 10: We don't want to employ the kind of tactics that 562 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 10: are only necessary when violence is committed against officers. That 563 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 10: is these guys directive, and that's what we're going to 564 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 10: try to do. 565 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 8: And again again, you. 566 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 10: Say, the President said this a couple of days ago. 567 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 8: Whenever you have a. 568 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 10: Law enforcement operation, even if ninety nine point nine to 569 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 10: nine percent of the guys do everything perfectly, you're going 570 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 10: to have people that make mistake. 571 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 8: That is the nature of law enforcement. 572 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 10: What I do think that we can do is working 573 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 10: with state and local officials, we can make the worst 574 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 10: moments of chaos much less common. And all they've got 575 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 10: to do is meet us halfway. These guys want to 576 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 10: communicate with them, They want. 577 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 8: To talk to the local business leaders. 578 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 10: They many of these guys, many of the people standing 579 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 10: behind me are members of the Minneapolis community. Many officials 580 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 10: that I met today who work in federal immigration enforcement. 581 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 10: This is their home. They love this place. These are 582 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 10: their neighbors. They want this to work a lot more smoothly. 583 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 10: I think that we can get there. We just got 584 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 10: to work at it a little bit, and we need 585 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 10: some cooperation from state and local officials. Last thing that 586 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 10: I'll say is is I just hope they give it. 587 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 8: That's a beautiful city. 588 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 10: I've only been here a few times. I love it, 589 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 10: even this weather. I love Minneapolis. 590 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: I'll stop this. 591 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: I'll stop this here, and I have more clips to 592 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: share of him for later on in the for later 593 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: on in the show. Great but great comments yesterday from 594 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: the vice president. 595 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 2: I just love that he's our vice president. Just rock. 596 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 7: Just listening to that even it was like, Wow, there's somebody. 597 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: There is some adult in some room somewhere. 598 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: Finally, KEI, I do let me let me spike this 599 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: one in because he was asked specifically about the Insurrection 600 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: Act and whether or not they would go and use that. 601 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 10: Your question on the Insurrection Act is interesting. I've tried 602 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 10: to understand this as well as I possibly could, and 603 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 10: my understanding is what the Insurrection Act. What invoking the 604 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 10: Insurrection Act would allow the federal government to do, is 605 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 10: it would allow the federal government to use the military 606 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 10: for local law enforcement operations. Right now, we don't think 607 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 10: that we need that. 608 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 8: Now. The President could. 609 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 10: Change his mind, of course, things could get worse, but 610 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 10: right now we think that federal laws officers do the 611 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 10: job of federal law enforcement. 612 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 8: Now. 613 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 10: What I do worry about again is if the chaos 614 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 10: gets worse, if more and more ICE agents start getting assulted, 615 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 10: if other law enforcement officers start getting assaulted, that would 616 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 10: be a real problem. 617 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 8: But again, we have so much federal. 618 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 10: Law enforcement resources here right now, We have so many 619 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 10: people here that we do not want to have here. 620 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 10: I do not want so many ICE officers in Minneapolis 621 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 10: right now. I mean, good lord, it's really really freaking 622 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 10: cold outside. 623 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 8: But they're here, not even to enforce immigration laws, but 624 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 8: to protect the people from the rioters. 625 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 10: That's an absurd state of affairs, and we wouldn't need 626 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 10: it if we had a little bit more cooperation from 627 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 10: the Minneapolis Police Department. Again, the Minneapolis Police Department, My 628 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 10: understanding is that the actual beat cops on the ground, 629 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 10: they would love to help out, but they're being told 630 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 10: by somebody. I don't know if it's may or fraid. 631 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 10: They're being told by somebody not to cooperate at all. 632 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 2: What kind of a. 633 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 10: Person tells their local police don't protect somebody if they're 634 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 10: being assaulted by a rioter. It's crazy and it's got 635 00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 10: to stop. 636 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: And juxtaposed that with just audio that we've played this morning, 637 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: whether it's Jacob Fry or Angie Craig, like there's a 638 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: level of authenticity jd Vance saying, you know, I don't know. Essentially, 639 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: I don't know everything about the Insurrection Act. But I looked, 640 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: but I looked into it, and this is this is 641 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: what I've learned so far. He's not afraid to sort 642 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: of show that, hey, you know, I don't know everything, 643 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,479 Speaker 1: so I had to go look into this, into this 644 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: as well. 645 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: I picked up on that too. 646 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 5: He feels like an authentic version of what Minnesota politicians try. 647 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 11: To be, even though he didn't swear. 648 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 3: I know, yeah, shocking right. 649 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: Now, authentic as compared to you know, say, hello. 650 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 18: America, I'm Amy Klobashar, and I will beat Donald Trump. 651 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: That shrill voice of the Senator of small Things. 652 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: Amy Klobashar has officially filed preliminary paperwork to run for governor, 653 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: following weeks of speculation. After Governor Tim Walls announced he 654 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: would not seek re election. 655 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 18: You are waking up today and you're gonna see me 656 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 18: on your Twitter account because I made it here at 657 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 18: one fifteen am through the snow. Donald Trump Wins called 658 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 18: me snowwoman for a reason. Nothing will stop me, So 659 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 18: I hope nothing stops you. 660 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: So how long until she announces this bid? We had 661 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: Michelle Tafoya jumping into the ring. She filed her paperwork 662 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: for Senate, announced immediately the next morning. She was here 663 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: on the show earlier this week. So how long until 664 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: Amy Klobasher makes it official? 665 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 7: I got to think of the next week or two 666 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 7: is when we're gonna finally hear about it. It's funny 667 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 7: because how much of this has been coordinated? Right Tim 668 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 7: Walls grabs lunch with Amy Klobash, are decides he's going 669 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 7: to drop out of his re election campaign. 670 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 2: And then if this. 671 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 7: Was all in a vacuum, let's say that you have 672 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 7: an open governor's seat, like a truly open one. How 673 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 7: many candidates on their side would jump in for that? 674 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? 675 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 7: A lot, a lot. They would have a robust field. 676 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 7: But here we are, what a week and a half 677 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 7: away from caucus and the Democrats still don't have a 678 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 7: candidate to sing an open seat. If there was any 679 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 7: more proof of a coronation, it's that Democrats weren't jumping 680 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 7: in for this at all. No Democrat has jumped in 681 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 7: for this seat, because it's obvious they. 682 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: Just want to. 683 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 7: They've already picked your candidate for you, Democrats. 684 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 3: That's so true. 685 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 5: I don't know how she announces while all this Ice 686 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 5: stuff is going on. I don't know how she captures 687 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 5: the attention if. 688 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 3: Anyone in Minnesota a little in the media while all 689 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: this other stuff is happening. 690 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 5: If she is forced to announce in the next week 691 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 5: or two while they're still here, I mean, she's. 692 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 3: Gonna have to do it. 693 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 5: In the biggest way possible, maybe by coming out making 694 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 5: some big anti Ice speech, anti Tyer, you know, anti 695 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 5: Ice tirade. Oh, I'm going to be the next governor 696 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 5: of Minnesota and I'm gonna get the Trump adminstration out 697 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 5: of You're like, she's gonna have to acknowledge what's happening 698 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 5: right now in some way in her announcement if she's 699 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 5: forced to do it soon, but. 700 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: She never takes she'll take a stance on issues, but 701 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 1: she never goes hardcore on any of them. I mean 702 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: Drew Penn, you know, Drew Penn to the whole senator 703 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: of small things. And she's been on local media lately 704 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: pushing back on what Ice is doing. 705 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: But it's really really surface level. You've got Governor Tim 706 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: Walls acting still acting really strange throughout all of this. 707 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: You have the reckless, irresponsible speech from a few weeks ago. 708 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: Then you have these written statements that he keeps putting 709 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: out as memes online, right these letters to Trump you 710 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: leave us alone, whatever. Then you had this bizarro moment 711 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: where suddenly this crowd appeared out of nowhere in front 712 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: of his house. 713 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: Earlier this week, he. 714 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: Comes out with Gus and Gwen, wearing his new red 715 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: flannel and his beanie, grabs a little kid's megaphone and 716 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: starts talking to the crowd about doing good trouble. I 717 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: don't know why there was a crowd there. I don't 718 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: think that's a typical thing for the governor and again playing. 719 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,719 Speaker 2: The role of the victim. 720 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: And right now he's actually raising money for his legal defense, 721 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: saying that if you're with me, please rush a donation 722 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: to our legal defense fund to help ensure that we 723 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: can keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and justice. I still 724 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: am of the opinion that the way this whole thing 725 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: goes down is that Governor Tim Walls ends up using 726 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: the excuse of I had the subpoena. There's investigations into me. 727 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: It's a toom big of a distraction. I am going 728 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: to step down as governor. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan takes over. 729 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: Amy Klobashar announces her run and essentially becomes the guiding 730 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: light of Minnesota for Democrats as the de facto governor 731 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: between now an election day. 732 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 2: That's still what I think, how. 733 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: This whole thing, how this whole thing ends up playing out, Yeah, 734 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: God help us. 735 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 12: I think they might need that too, because I still 736 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 12: do see people. 737 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 11: I mean, there's a huge. 738 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 12: Segment of people on the left that are so radical, 739 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 12: the Democratic Socialists of America. 740 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 11: Types, that they do not like Amy Klobachar at all. 741 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 12: So I think that something like that might be exactly 742 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 12: what they need to get the kind of support from 743 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 12: their party that they need. Whereas I think she'll have 744 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 12: brought up support obviously in a general, but from her 745 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 12: own party there's definitely division. 746 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 16: Good morning, everybody in studio, Happy Freedom Friday, Happy Birthday, Melinda. 747 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: Do you think Amy. 748 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 16: Klobashar is really fully jumping in or is she doing 749 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 16: a little testing of the waters here to see what 750 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 16: it sounds like. I know online I'm seeing a lot 751 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 16: of people, and a lot of from outside of Minnesota saying, well, 752 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 16: you made a mistake and we're at the walls. Here 753 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 16: comes Amy. She's gonna kick everybody's teeth. And I'm not 754 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 16: seeing that same h excitement locally, at least not for 755 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 16: most people just to really diehards. 756 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 19: Yes, if Minnesota couldn't become more cringe or they we 757 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 19: get to listen to now woman as she runs for 758 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 19: the governor, Oh my god, put me out of my misery. 759 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 19: And then we've got Ellison's assistant attorney general who's married 760 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 19: to the federal guy who once signed the warrant or 761 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 19: don we'll get to that in just a second activity 762 00:35:54,040 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 19: related to the church protests. So yeah, Minnesota, keep pushing along, 763 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 19: gaining all this national Note. 764 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: To right, well, Green Grace, you made the point and 765 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: sorted to cap off my little, my little scenario, which 766 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: you know probably has a very small probability of happening, but. 767 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 2: Still if it does. I just want to take. 768 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: Credit for it, but you're right, Amy Klobersar is going 769 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: to be saddled with all of this the moment that 770 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: she announces, and she's going to be saddled with whatever 771 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls does in terms of dealing with the 772 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: controversies that Minnesota is facing right now, whether it's whether 773 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: it's the ice obstructing going on, or whether it's the fraud, 774 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 1: which eventually will take back center stage, especially when these investigations. 775 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 2: Are wrap up. 776 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: So it's going to be really difficult for whoever it is, 777 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: but certainly for her if Walls is still in office. 778 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: That's what all of the conversation is going to be about. 779 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: Do you agree with what's going on as governor? How 780 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: would you handle this right now? And I don't know 781 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: anybody running on the left that would want to be 782 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: saddled with it if they haven't weighed into all of 783 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: these controversies already. 784 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 7: That's making a pretty big assumption that the left, this 785 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 7: media will actually ask her any question. 786 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 2: That's right. I'm sorry, that's my bad. 787 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 7: Just they're obviously Joe bidening Tim Walls. And we saw 788 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 7: that the kid gloves that Kamala Harris was treated with 789 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 7: for the first three months of her, you know, emergence 790 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 7: as their candidate. The media is going to be like 791 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 7: Amy Klobush are impossible to beat. You know, she is 792 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 7: the most popular politician we've ever had in Minnesota. There 793 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 7: won't be a hard or strenuous question for her at all, 794 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 7: unless unless we demanded of her, unless we ask her 795 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 7: ourselves or Alpha News or what have you. 796 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 2: Why issue so popular? By the way, I mean again, 797 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 2: I don't know is that just what it is? 798 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 7: It's the Senator of small things. She hasn't taken a 799 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 7: controversial position on anything. You do not understand her popularity. 800 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 12: I also think I don't know that the popularity is 801 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 12: as broad as maybe. 802 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 11: People on the left are wanting us to think. 803 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 12: They're doing that thing where they say something over and 804 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 12: over until it becomes true, you know. 805 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 11: And it's like, yes, she has. 806 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 12: Some broad popularity, but I'm not sure that you're totally 807 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 12: right that it's going to be this easy win for 808 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 12: her no matter what. 809 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, she's also won by a much smaller margin last time. 810 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's drinking shrinking every single election cycle. Hey, John, 811 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 20: just hearing about this. Tim Walls defense fund for the 812 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 20: first time.

It says 826 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: Tim Walls here. Last week, the federal government opened an 827 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: investigation into me. This comes weeks after a federal ice 828 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,439 Speaker 1: agent fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, unleashing chaos across city. 829 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: Rather than taking accountability and working to turn down the temperature, 830 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his administration or blah blah blah blah blah, 831 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: I've wasted enough time on that already. Get the h 832 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: you get the idea he's for ever playing the victim 833 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: on on this and not being a leader whatsoever. For 834 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: a guy that dropped out of the race because he 835 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: said he needed to focus his attention on Minnesota, he 836 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: has been just bizarrely absent from everything that's been transpiring 837 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: apart from the speech that he gave and the memes 838 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: that he's been posting that he's been posting online. 839 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I did. 840 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 7: People around him probably saw the same things that everyone saw, 841 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 7: and it was that Tim Walls was not in a 842 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 7: good position mentally, like he was spiraling when when you 843 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 7: saw these speeches where he's talking about I might declare 844 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 7: war against the federal government. Hopefully he has some responsible 845 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 7: handlers that said, hey man, let's just send out memes 846 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 7: from now on. 847 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: Okay, it's clear. Look, I don't know. 848 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 21: I don't think any government history has had to fight 849 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 21: a war against the federal government every single day. Well, 850 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 21: I said this yesterday. We've never been at war with 851 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 21: our federal government.

Attorney General 861 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 1: Pambody announced yesterday, just after the show ended, that the 862 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 1: agents with the FBI and the Homeland Security investigations nabbed 863 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter activist Nakima Leidy Armstrong, who was accused 864 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: of playing a key role in organizing the coordinated attack 865 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: at the city's church.

Notably, 870 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: Kelly had previously harassed the worshippers at Secretary of War 871 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth Church in DC. 872 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: So I did here. 873 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: Apparently they've already been released, So the judges already released them, 874 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: and then they now have a pending court date to 875 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: go and deal with whatever whatever charges they are they're facing, 876 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: and it's pretty expected. I didn't have an expectation that 877 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: they were going to be arrested and then locked up 878 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: in perpetuity. 879 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 7: They're just like everybody else. Is how the stuff gets handled. 880 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,439 Speaker 7: They got booked in and then they'll have their court data. 881 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,919 Speaker 12: At this point, I'm just glad there's finally consequences, because 882 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 12: I think that's why these things keep escalating is a 883 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 12: lot of these people have never faced consequences for their actions, 884 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 12: and finally someone the President and Pam BONDI are willing 885 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 12: to say no, there have to be consequences if you're 886 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 12: going to do this kind of thing. 887 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 11: Nikima what's her face? 888 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 12: Has been harassing people for years in twenty eighteen, who 889 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 12: was in Liz Collins driveway smashing that effigy of her? 890 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 12: I mean, this woman is just ramping up and up 891 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 12: and up and up.

Representative Tom 894 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: Emmer will join us just after the top of the hour. 895 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: We'll get back to more of your comments from the 896 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: iHeart radio app and more with our in studio a guest. 897 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: This morning, we've got Max Reimer, we have Catherine and 898 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: Grace from the American Experiment podcast, and your talkbacks from 899 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: the iHeart radio app. Here's more of VP Vans yesterday. 900 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 10: First of all, if you interrupt a church service, you 901 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 10: ought to get arrested, you ought to go to prison. 902 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 10: And I think we wanted to send a very clear 903 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 10: signal with the Department of Justice that you cannot interrupt 904 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 10: people's rightful warship without expecting their demating consequences. In the 905 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 10: same token, you can't assault a law enforcement officer without 906 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 10: expecting to get arrested either. So the Department of Justice, 907 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 10: I think has been on the case here in Minneapolis, 908 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 10: where we actually this really started as an anti fraud operation. 909 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks. 910 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 10: In the Democratic Party decided they didn't want to talk 911 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 10: about fraud from Samullions, wanted to talk about the brutality 912 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 10: of immigration enforcement, as they call it. And so what 913 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 10: you've seen a lot is this sort of viral effort 914 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 10: to try to inflate what's actually going on, to overstate 915 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 10: the wrongs that have been committed and understate the very 916 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 10: serious problems that we have with immigration enforcement in this 917 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 10: country for a long time, and they're just trying to distract. 918 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 10: They think that if they can turn Ice into this 919 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 10: evil monster, it will distract from the fraud, and it 920 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 10: will distract from the Biden open border, and we're just 921 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 10: not gonna let it. 922 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 8: We're not going to let that happen. 923 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, they have what's called the Trump derangement problem. 924 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 2: Have you heard about that problem?
