1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Our three Minnesota's dominating the headlines on Fox News right now.

2
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: Minneapolis agitators set up anti ice blockade.

3
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty stupid.

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: We talked about this quite a bit in the first

5
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: hour of the show. Of course, if you missed it,

6
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: check out the podcast and we'll be available up on

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app shortly. Liz Colin from alphae News we'll

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: be joining us coming up at eight thirty this morning.

9
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: School districts are dealing with a brand new hurdle navigating

10
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota's new paid medical family leave policy. I know you're shocked.

11
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: This is this is good. This is going to be

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: such a disaster. It already is a disaster. I think

13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: it's already out of money, completely unnecessary. Another thing that

14
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: the Republicans can run on. Just remind every single Republican

15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: voter how much money that they are going to lose

16
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: every single year if they don't go and take this

17
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: time off. And the majority of them couldn't take this

18
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: time off, and they they wouldn't put their companies, their

19
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: employers through that. It's like eight hundred dollars if you

20
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: make close to, say, like one hundred thousand dollars a year.

21
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: I mean think.

22
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: I think it's actually less than that. So school districts

23
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: are dealing with this issue now. The policy working off

24
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: an article here from Center the American Experiment, passed in

25
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: twenty three effective in January, although they started taking money

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: out in December. I don't know how that works. It

27
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: mandates that employers provide employees up to twenty weeks of

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: medical or family leave. And I'm going to ask Chad

29
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: to take a Monday off here. I keep forgetting to

30
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: do so. I got to put it in the day

31
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: because it's getting kind of close to the Monday I want.

32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: To take off. I hate doing that anyway, That's just me.

33
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: During the employee's leave, the state provides the employee with

34
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: a stipend of up to ninety percent of their typical

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: weekly pay. The eventual cap is four and twenty three

36
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: bucks a week, the state's average weekly wage. The state

37
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: provides this money through a new payroll tax as I mentioned,

38
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: zero point eight eight percent of the employee's salary, and

39
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: administrate administers the program through the Department of Employment and

40
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Economic Development, which has hired four hundred new employees to

41
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: deal with the application approval alone. So again on top

42
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: of the money that you are going to lose if

43
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: you don't take this time off, that goes to somebody

44
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: else who wants to.

45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: Go and take all this time off.

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: You have jaxpayer dollars going to these four hundred new employees.

47
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: And how much are they getting paid? That's a good question.

48
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Now, the program does not cover federal government employees, postal workers,

49
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: rail road employees, seasonal hospitality employees, independent contractors, or tribal nations. Gee,

50
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: I wonder why that is. I wonder why that's the case.

51
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Probably because they all know how much this is going

52
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: to suck and they didn't want to be a part

53
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: of it. However, school districts are required to opt into

54
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the program. The unfunded mandate might have frustrating consequences for

55
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: stretched thin school districts. In January, actually, on January twentieth,

56
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: specifically Albert Lee's School district, at a meeting the superinten

57
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and they're warned of administrative overwork connected with the policy.

58
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: He announced that the employee or employer paperwork connected with

59
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: the Minnesota paid leave was taking the Business and HR

60
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: Office a considerable amount of time, and their offices have

61
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: seen a significant spike in paid leave applications. Each leave

62
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: application initially takes four to five hours, followed by further meetings.

63
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: Now it's estimated that one HR staff member had spent

64
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: one half to two thirds of their day since December

65
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: twentieth dealing with Minnesota paid leave applications.

66
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: It's insane.

67
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Worry was expressed about the logistical challenge. If the applications

68
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: keep up at this pace, they say, it'll be hard

69
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: to keep up with. The pay Family Medal leave program

70
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: does not provide extra cash to school districts to cover

71
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: the cost of unnecessary substitute teachers if teachers take family

72
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: or medical leave. Under the program, teachers are allowed to

73
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: take leave for half of the academic year twenty weeks,

74
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: which could leave administrators scrambling to fill gaps in the classroom.

75
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: So I can tell you how this whole thing is

76
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: going to play out. You have school district funding that's

77
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: already stretched thin. The political allegiances to the Democrats will

78
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: shield the DFL elected officials from any level of scrutiny.

79
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: The media won't cover this appropriately. This will be argued

80
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: as a necessity the program itself, regardless of the concerns,

81
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: As school districts have providing Democrats the ability to once

82
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: again leverage school funding against the GOP.

83
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: It's all so incredibly predictable.

84
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: We'll take your talkbacks on this on the iHeartRadio app Minnesota.

85
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Shriff's group, Borders Are Tom Homan negotiating a blueprint for

86
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: a federal shutdown. Excuse me, federal drawdown. Tom Holman is

87
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: actually addressing the issue right now in a press conference.

88
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Will bring you in live to what Tom Homan Borders

89
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: Are has to say on this issue right now on

90
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talk to.

91
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: Enforce the immigration laws in this country. To help execute this,

92
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 3: we have developed and implemented a multi aidenc search task

93
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: Force with an operational framework that clarifies lines of effort.

94
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: Integrated enforcement, INVESTIGATIM and special response efforts are unified. Joint

95
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: Operations Center has been established to manage all operations and

96
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: ensure efforts aligned with priorities of the mission. This reorganization

97
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: also enables ICE to leverage joint and intelligence capabilities to

98
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: effectively tire threats, as well as to reduce the overall

99
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: personal footprint, enhance public safety and confidence in the agency's

100
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: capabilities and presence.

101
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: Here.

102
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: I've also ensured that officials from legal internal affairs offices

103
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: remain on the ground as long as this operation continues.

104
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: During our efforts to identify and implement improvements of how

105
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: operations are planned, conducted, and managed, we identify the gap

106
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: in regard to the use of body worn cameras. This

107
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: is actually raised by the workforce when I started walking

108
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: around talking to people here. Some officers and agents had them,

109
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: some didn't. That inconsistency was unacceptable, so we moved immediately

110
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: to prioritize full body cam deployment in the city. I

111
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: discussed this with Secretary Known a couple of days ago,

112
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: and she made the decision to deploy them. The plan

113
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: is to deploy them wide, but it's priority for the

114
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: city right now. There's actually twenty million dollars in the

115
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: spending bill to further fund the deployment of body cameras.

116
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Tom Holmes said a moment ago they were going to

117
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: be drawing down about seven hundred of the ice officers.

118
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: Because we have nothing to hide, we want to be

119
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: fully transparent in what we do. The American people seek

120
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: and deserve professional and trustworthy law enforcement, and I, in

121
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,119
Speaker 3: the president, expect that any misconduct would not be tolerated

122
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: and will be and be swiftly addressed. The integration, structuring

123
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 3: and resources we have implemented will help ensure accountability and

124
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: that targeted enforcement operations have a focus on national security

125
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: threats and public safety threats and they are conducted effectively, safely,

126
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 3: and appropriately. Again, this is smarter enforcement, not less enforcement.

127
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and stop it here. And I actually

128
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: had this next in my stack. Tom Holman had been

129
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: negotiating a blueprint for a federal draw down, as mentioned

130
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: in the press conference just a moment ago, the Borders

131
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: are was talking about re establishing a chain of command

132
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,479
Speaker 1: in these targeted operations by ICE. This is enabling Immigrations

133
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement and the federal government to immediately draw

134
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: down seven hundred agents. I believe that's from the three

135
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: thousand that we had currently. So we're still going to

136
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: have a sizeable force going and conducting these targeted operations.

137
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: But clearly Tom Holman's replacing of the leadership going back

138
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: to a week ago is paying off now with this. Also,

139
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: documents were obtained by the Star Tribune showing how county

140
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: jails will give access to ICE agents. This was a

141
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: key demand that Toemanhan to decrease the number of federal

142
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: immigration agents in Minnesota. So there are concessions being made

143
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: despite Governor Tim Walls and his inflammatory comments yesterday frustrated.

144
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: That there hadn't been a draw down yet.

145
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: And Walls just likes to speak out of both sides

146
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: of his mouth. He does it all the time. So

147
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: on the one hand, he's working on this deal with Homan.

148
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: We're going to draw down some ICE agents. We're going

149
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: to continue targeted operations. So the operations will continue and

150
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: hopefully and I trust that they're going to be concluding

151
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: the operations and arresting all the individuals that they have

152
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: targeted for arrest. But James Stewart, the executive director of

153
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Sheriff's Associations, confirmed these conversations and said the

154
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: groups he's a path to reduction to the federal agents

155
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: as we're seeing. Homan previously had said that greater access

156
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: to county jails would serve as a direct precursor to

157
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: the draw down of federal agents, and it turns out

158
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: that that's exactly what's happening. County jails would provide ICE

159
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: with a reasonable access to all detailed detainees or inmates

160
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: for the purpose of interviews related to immigration enforcement. Now,

161
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: the Star Tribune writes this, the wording may seem innocuous innocuous,

162
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: but it does undercut what has been the state's practice

163
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: during the second Trump administration, and it's certain to alarm

164
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: activists and attorneys opposed to the immigration crackdown. Liz call

165
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: in an Alpha News is going to join us right

166
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. She did just post though,

167
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: that Tom Holman has announced, as I was mentioning, the

168
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: federal government now does have, as was stated in the

169
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: story here as well, unprecedented cooperation and collaboration at county

170
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: jails in Minnesota, drawing down these hundreds of federal law

171
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: enforcement personnel out of the state as the targeted operations continue.

172
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: And yet Governor Tim Walls came out yesterday and made

173
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: this statement, and I'll address it further coming up next

174
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: here on Twin City's News Talk.

175
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: It's been a week since I met with Tom Holman.

176
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: Expectations have not changed. This force must leave Minnesota. Minnesota

177
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: and the professionals, non partisan judiciary must do the investigations

178
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 5: into the shootings and other abuses of Minnesota's human rights

179
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: and this all out assault on Minnesota across all of

180
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 5: state government and all across life must stop. None of

181
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: this is normal, None of this is okay. None of

182
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: this makes Minnesota any safer. None of us adheres to

183
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: the values of this country. Alls it does is caused

184
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: terror and trauma.

185
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: He is such a snake oil salesman.

186
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you my thoughts on what Walls had to

187
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: say in light of this news now, because it's all

188
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: very relevant and related to one another, because Walls knew

189
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: exactly what he was saying yesterday, because he knew what

190
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: was going to be happening this morning. We'll get you

191
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: your comments as well from the iHeartRadio app. Coming up

192
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,359
Speaker 1: on Twin City's News Talk, Don't Go Anywhere.

193
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 6: Twin City's News Talk.

194
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Liz Colin from ALFA News joining me John Justice coming

195
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: up in just a few moments here on the show.

196
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: All right, before I get back to and we'll get

197
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: a recap from Liz. As Tom Homan is continuing his

198
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: press conference, Liz Colin will get us up to speed

199
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: on that I was mentioning a moment ago this story

200
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: from American Experiment, the new administrative hurdle for paid family

201
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: medical leave is going to be the school districts.

202
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: I want to play this.

203
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: Talk back from the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndahl,

204
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: a realty from one of our GOP representatives.

205
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 7: This is Representative Patricia mueller Hey with Minnesota paid family

206
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 7: leave for our teachers and for the school districts. This

207
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 7: is more difficult than just finding a sub If a

208
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 7: teacher has gone for longer than three weeks, you are

209
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 7: required to have a long term substitute teacher that has

210
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 7: the correct license.

211
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 8: That makes it infinitely more.

212
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 7: Difficult for teachers for school districts as they are taking

213
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 7: this time off. Thanks for your work, guys.

214
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for leaving the talkback in the

215
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: added info. I greatly appreciate it. So Tom Holman drawing

216
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: down of some of the ICE agents more targeted operations

217
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: as they look to wind down the operations. Also Governor

218
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: Tim Walls acquiescing on some of these issues, which certainly

219
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: isn't going to make his radical base any happier.

220
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: Relating to access to the.

221
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Jails and those inmates who are dealing with immigration issues,

222
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Tim Walls yesterday had a press conference. I want to

223
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: share with you some of the details here in just

224
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: a moment, but let me replay the audio from yesterday

225
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: as well.

226
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: It's been a week since I met with Tom Holman.

227
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: Expectations have not changed. This force must leave Minnesota, the

228
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 5: state of Minnesota and the professionals. Non partisan judiciary must

229
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: do the investigations into the shootings and other abuses of

230
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 5: Minnesota's human rights. And this all out assault on Minnesota

231
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 5: across all of state government and all across life must stop.

232
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: None of this is normal, None of this is okay.

233
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 5: None of this makes Minnesota any safer. None of this

234
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 5: adheres to the values of this country. All it does

235
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 5: is caused terror and trauma.

236
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: He knew that Tom Holman was going to be making

237
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: these statements today. This agreement was already in place when

238
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls held the press conference yesterday. So this

239
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: is all a set up by him giving off this

240
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: air that you know, they got to leave macting all tough,

241
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: they got to get out of here. This is ridiculous,

242
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: fuming that they haven't pulled their forces out. When he

243
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: knew that Homan was going to be giving a press

244
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: conference today talking about drawing down some seven hundred agents.

245
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: He just wants the ability to take credit for it.

246
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter his time serving an office is done. I

247
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: hope he sticks to when adheres to what he said

248
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: about never running for office again. But make no mistake,

249
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: this is nothing more than political theater. It started as

250
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: political theater yesterday, working off the article from Bring Me

251
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: the News, Governor Tim Walls placed an origami bunny made

252
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: by classmates of the five year old Liam Kinnejo Ramos

253
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: on a podium Tuesday before he addressed the impact of

254
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: federal immigration enforcement on children across Minnesota. Come on, an

255
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: origami bunny made by the classmates of the five year old. Oh,

256
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: I can spend the entire segment just discussing why are

257
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: the classmates of this five year old making Oregon me bunnies?

258
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: What were they told of this situation, the false narrative

259
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: and the lies perpetuated by Walls and others regarding what

260
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: actually happened as his illegal alien criminal father abandoned to

261
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: him in the wake of being held accountable for his

262
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: decision making, and you got five year olds that are

263
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: doing a class craft project and Walls ends up getting

264
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: his hands on it and he uses it during this

265
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: press conference to come on The governor expressed gratitude at

266
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: the Columbia Heights Preschool or that he was released over

267
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the weekend, but said it's unclear how many Minnesota kids

268
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: are being held in detention centers, including the Texas facility

269
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: where Liam and his father were kept for a week

270
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: in the midst of a measle outbreak.

271
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: Why doesn't he ask?

272
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: He sent a letter on Tuesday to the Rominan Homeland

273
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Security Secretary of Christy Nome demanding clear answers on how

274
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: many children are currently being held in detention centers, where

275
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: they're at, why they were taken, and what their due

276
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: process rights are. That's readily available information. And only make

277
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: another point based off of that. I did a quick

278
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: search online. You had roughly eight hundred and twenty four

279
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: juveniles that were held in detention. That was through July

280
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: of just twenty twenty four. I wanted to go back

281
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: and look at the time when Biden was in office.

282
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: Does the walls care about all those juveniles that were

283
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: in our detention system back then? Let me add to that,

284
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: you had, as I have highlighted on the show many times,

285
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: some six thousand arrests of criminal illegal aliens here in

286
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota while Biden was in office.

287
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 6: How many of.

288
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: Those that were arrested those were by Immigrations and Customs

289
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: and Enforcement. By the way, how many of those are

290
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: rests also resulted in children being placed in the hands

291
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: and the custody of Immigrations and Customs enforcement or these

292
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: detention facilities, and these are nice facilities and not being

293
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: put behind bars for crying out loud. I saw the

294
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: place where Liam Ramos was and it was a very

295
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: nice location where he was being held.

296
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: It was not some you know, concrete wall, barred floor,

297
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: metal bench.

298
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: No, it looked like a nicer daycare than the Quality

299
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: Leering Center.

300
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: But was walls.

301
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Curious back when Biden was in office of the children then,

302
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: because there was a lot, I mean like eight hundred plus.

303
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of those were attached to immigration,

304
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: but you get the point. It's an alternate universe from

305
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: Minnesota Democrats, an entirely irrational set of rules that apply

306
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: to the government, it's operations, and the media coverage.

307
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: They just make up whatever.

308
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Narrative they want, they put it out and it just

309
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: gets accepted, no questions asked.

310
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: Wallace doesn't care about the kids. He doesn't care about

311
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: what's going on.

312
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: He only cares about what's going on on the streets

313
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis because he knows he can capitalize on it

314
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. He's just now in legacy protection mode. Because,

315
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: as I was talking about with Tom Emmer last hour,

316
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: in the future, it's going to be fascinating to read

317
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: and look back upon what will end up being the

318
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: downfall of Governor Tim Wallas after making that faithful decision

319
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: to decide to run as VP with Kamala Harris.

320
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: That was the beginning of the end.

321
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: And I'm still convinced now more than ever that he

322
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: did that because he was trying to get at a

323
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: dodge before everything that we're dealing with now, especially relating

324
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: to the fraud, ended up coming to light. Liz Colin

325
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: from ALFA News joins us. Next, we'll get to recap

326
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: as borders our Tom home and continues with his press conference.

327
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: We'll find out what else he had to say. Also,

328
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota Citizen Journalists exposes the chaos, failed leadership and lies

329
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: during the anti Ice riots. It's coming up next with

330
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: Liz Colin here on Twin City's News Talk Am eleven

331
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: thirty and one three five FM. All right, before we

332
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: talk with Liz Colin from Alpha News, I have a

333
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: couple of items of business that I need to take

334
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: care of. First off, to get to your talk back

335
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: of the day here on Twin Cities News Talk. Your

336
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: talk back of the day is brought to you by

337
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: Mini leafanminileaf dot com. This comes from Carl dropped this

338
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: in the first hour of today's show and I held

339
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: on to it to make it our talkback of the day,

340
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: brought to you by Mini Leaf.

341
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 9: We need ideas to fly on planes to get beer

342
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 9: liquor cigarettes, but they don't want IDs for voting, like

343
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 9: that's more important.

344
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: Honestly, you're absolutely right. Didn't even need to say honestly, there, Carl.

345
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: That is your talkback of the day, brought to you

346
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: by minileafanmnileaf dot com. One more item before we talk

347
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: with Liz, I was sharing with you a version of

348
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: the story of the press conference yesterday from Walls and Elison,

349
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: although some of you were labeling it as something else,

350
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: concerns from educators over the impact of ice on kids.

351
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: This is where we've lanned. This is so again predictable

352
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: theme of the show this morning.

353
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: All the other.

354
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: Arguments aren't working. The blockades aren't working. So now we're

355
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: back to caring about the kids. But Governor Tim Walls

356
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: placed an Oregon Origami Buddy made by the classmates of

357
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: the five year old Liam Kanejo Ramos, who was in

358
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: detention after his father abandoned him. Of quick comments that

359
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: rolled in. A lot of you were impacted by the

360
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: Oregami Bunny.

361
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

362
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 8: Any five year old that can make an orgy bunny.

363
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: I can't make any bunny Orgammy bunny. That's a cultural appropriation.

364
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 2: I don't think I need.

365
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 6: It's true.

366
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, John. That wasn't a press conference, it was

367
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: a sermon. The Orgami bunny was our object lesson. All right,

368
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: it's a good day. So a couple of things.

369
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: First off, Devin, there's your podcast three title, the Origami Bunny.

370
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: Liz Collin from Alpha News Origami Bunny better rock band

371
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: or Racehorse.

372
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 10: Actually, I've crumpled up a piece of paper I thought

373
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 10: that would ground us before this segment today, just setting

374
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 10: it on.

375
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 8: My desk here. Yeah, I'm gonna go with Racehorse.

376
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: John come on like like he needed visual aids yesterday with.

377
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: Money I know, made by five year old classmates of this.

378
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: It's just embarrassing, too funny. I did not get a chance.

379
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: Did you have a chance to watch the remainder of

380
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: Tom Holman's press conference. I know you can share with

381
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: us some of the some of the details of the

382
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: presser that just wrapped up, but also what we might

383
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: have might have missed from the previous segment as well.

384
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, as you said, John, the big headline being this

385
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 10: seven hundred federal law enforcement borders are tom Holman announced

386
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 10: would be leaving Minnesota shortly, but he did say this

387
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 10: is smarter enforcement, not less. He called it unprecedented cooperation

388
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 10: collaboration at county jails now happening in Minnesota. Two thousand

389
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 10: agents will remain in Minnesota. He did go over the

390
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 10: statistics of the mission so far, fourteen people with homicide

391
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 10: convictions being deported, one hundred and thirty nine sexual related offenses,

392
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 10: eighty seven sex offenders, and twenty eight gang related offenses

393
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 10: people that have been picked up so far. So yeah,

394
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 10: two thousand officers will remain. And he did say if

395
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 10: you're in the country illegally, we will deport you. So

396
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 10: they are going to focus more on targeted operations. He

397
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 10: actually talked a little bit about I'm sure if you

398
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 10: caught that the roadblocks in Minneapolis, and you know, he said,

399
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 10: you're not going to be stopping ice with that, You're

400
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 10: not going to be stopping border patrol.

401
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 8: The only thing you're doing is irritating your community. So

402
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 8: it sounds like he was in.

403
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 10: Conversations with the Minneapolis Police Department and that will be

404
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 10: ending as well.

405
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good thing, you know, that those checkpoints

406
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: exist to go and protect those communities from all those

407
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: individuals that Tom Holman was saying got arrested, you know,

408
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: banging up job by those folks.

409
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly who wouldn't want these hundreds of conducts in Minnesota?

410
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 2: Do we know now?

411
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: I know a there was one of these blockades, these

412
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: checkpoints was dismantled yesterday. Do you happen to know if

413
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: there are any that are still the operating or have

414
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: they all been taken down? I know there was some

415
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: talk earlier this morning on Fox News that perhaps Jacob

416
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: Pride was moving on it, but I was wondering if

417
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: you had an update on that.

418
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, I had heard that the same thing that they

419
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 10: were dismantled last night, So we'll see what the morning

420
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 10: brings here.

421
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 8: Sometimes they go.

422
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 10: Up pretty quick, you know, if you can get your

423
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 10: couch and some wooden palettes out there. But it did

424
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 10: sound like, even with the tone of Holman's press conference

425
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 10: this morning, that they may be a thing of the past.

426
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting, you know, Governor Tim Walls

427
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: talking all tough yesterday, although again you look in hindsight

428
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: into what he said and Tom Holman's press conference and

429
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 1: what he announced, and you know, Walls clearly knew what

430
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: was going to be happening and was talking tough, as

431
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: if to say that, hey, all of my tough talk

432
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: is now going to yield and home and drawing these

433
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: individuals down. When you know, I think the conventional wisdom

434
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: will tell you this was all part of the plan

435
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: in the first place. There was a surge because of

436
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: the opposition that ICE was facing. They continue with the

437
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: targeted operations, and Homan is obviously streamlined the operation, but

438
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: it's clearly winding down. I mean, eventually they will get

439
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: through the list of individuals thereafter and they'll be done

440
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: with operations here. And that seems to be where we

441
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: are where we're headed right now.

442
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean gosh.

443
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 10: I think Homan thanked several times, even people like Ellison

444
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 10: and Walls.

445
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 8: He made mention of them several several times.

446
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 10: So it seems like, you know, one thing is happening

447
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 10: behind the scenes and then OREGONI Bunny is happening in

448
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 10: front of the cameras. But yeah, a lot of talking tough,

449
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 10: I think from from the governor. There were a couple

450
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 10: of reporters that did ask a couple of times, you know,

451
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 10: is it Hennepon and Ramsey County jails that are opening up,

452
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 10: because those are obviously the most problematic, And Homan didn't

453
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 10: exactly answer that. It kind of switched to a couple

454
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 10: of different reporters and as that was happening, So I

455
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 10: think that that's something we'll you know, see. But again,

456
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 10: months ago we were there with Ice on our right

457
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 10: along and they were talking candidly about we could have

458
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 10: one or two folks go to the jails and you know,

459
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 10: do a pick up, and instead we're sending you know, seven, eight, nine,

460
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 10: sometimes even more on these operations out into neighborhoods, out

461
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 10: into businesses, and they don't want to be doing that either.

462
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: I did have a just real quick Liz, I did

463
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: have a question that rolled into the iHeartRadio app. I

464
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: want to sneak into our discussion this morning as we

465
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: talked with Liz Colin from Alfin News.

466
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: Hey, John, good morning, great show is always thanks.

467
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: This is the West Metro talking.

468
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: It's curious how many kids does it take to make

469
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: an orgami bunny? That's a very good question.

470
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: How many kids does it take to make an oragami bunny?

471
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 10: You know, here's the thing I'm gonna spend the day

472
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 10: tracking down.

473
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 8: Is this even? Is this real? Is this like?

474
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 10: You know, one of the aids just put the orgami

475
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 10: bunny together and they made up this story that you know.

476
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 10: I spent some time back checking the orgami bunny today.

477
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: I missed that portion of the presser.

478
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Prediction though, Liz Colin, My prediction is that Oregon Me

479
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Bunny is going to end up on display in the rotunda.

480
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a glass case, glass case, just to symbolize

481
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 10: the moment.

482
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: You're not even kidding, No, no, I'm not right there

483
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: next to the satanic display the cost of every.

484
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 8: There'll be some sort of declaration. I'll have like a

485
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 8: moment of silence. I mean, it's possible. All right, it's

486
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 8: all about symbolism.

487
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 11: All right.

488
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: I need an orgon me bunny for the studio. I'm

489
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: saying it right now. Somebody wants to send me, I'll

490
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: give you the address. I want an oreganomy bunny for the.

491
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 8: I crumpled up a piece of paper.

492
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 10: Now I'll start it on fire and that will actually

493
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 10: be more symbolic.

494
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's go here. You're your latest podcast.

495
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: Talk about this Citizen Journal. You had the chance to

496
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: sit down and have a discussion with regarding the anti

497
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: ice riots and what did you what.

498
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: Did you learn?

499
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, this guy Alistair has been it's interesting to hear

500
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 10: from these people that are covering the protests and not

501
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 10: really as reporters, but they're you know, more behind the

502
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 10: camera and just observing and really interesting to talk to Alistair.

503
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 10: He's a young guy, works a day job and he's

504
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 10: just been kind of following all this and wanted to

505
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 10: document it himself and was actually a student at the

506
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 10: University of Minnesota back in twenty twenty and he was

507
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 10: just really struck by, oh my gosh, you're not even

508
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 10: telling us what's you know, actually really happening. So I

509
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 10: want to do it differently this time, as he was

510
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 10: being like pelted with bricks his building where he was

511
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 10: living in the U of M back during twenty twenty.

512
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 10: But I think what really struck him and in the interview,

513
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 10: he talks about this that how the Minneapolis police would

514
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 10: just again and again retreat and leave all of these

515
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 10: people sort of fending for themselves. And he has documented

516
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 10: several people being beat up. There's even some people that

517
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 10: are bloodied in parking lots, and his video just really

518
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 10: horrible and there's no police presence at all.

519
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: So we kind of talked about how does that make you.

520
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 10: Feel as a resident of Minnesota, a citizen of the

521
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 10: United States for that matter, But just this anarchy that's

522
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 10: being allowed to just play out kind of these street

523
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 10: fights that he's captured along along the way.

524
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a good thing that this stuff is

525
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: being is being documented. You would you would think that

526
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: one would hope that after what happened with George Floyd,

527
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be back in this position again, And yet

528
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: here we are again with these same with these same tactics,

529
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, And it's good that we've got the ability

530
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: of outlets like yours and individuals like this to speak

531
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: out about what's actually taking place on the ground during

532
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: these particular circumstances, so the truth and the reality actually

533
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: gets out to the people and not just the manufactured

534
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: narratives that gets perpetuated by the majority of media here

535
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: in Minnesota.

536
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you talked about that, just the dangerous rhetoric

537
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 10: that had been used or continues to be, I should say,

538
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 10: but by the mayor, you know, by the governor, and

539
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 10: how he would hear you know a lot of these

540
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 10: talking points repeated by these people that are leading the protests,

541
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 10: and just how that all trickles down and you know

542
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 10: how dangerous that is.

543
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: Let's move let's move here another story.

544
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: You guys have Minnesota Democratic Party official urging people on

545
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: social media to act neutral, to get seated on a jury.

546
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 8: What here?

547
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: What's going on?

548
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is after the agent, if you remember the

549
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 10: graphic photos, had his finger bitten off in one of

550
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 10: these peaceful protests that have been that have been going on.

551
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 10: But just a horrible and this this guy, his name

552
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 10: is Nick Cruz. He was the former vice president of

553
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 10: the Minnesota Young DFL. He's the current at large director

554
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 10: of Stonewall DFL.

555
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 8: But he wrote on x that.

556
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 10: No one should be going to prison for defending our

557
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 10: city against ice, and he encourages followers to spread information

558
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 10: about jury nullification. So he's basically saying, the woman that

559
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 10: was arrested, she was charged. I will say that she's

560
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 10: been released after biting off the agent's finger.

561
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 8: She's out on parole lovely now.

562
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 10: But he's saying, you know, basically, just pretend you're neutral.

563
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 8: You need to get on this jury so.

564
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 10: You could equit this woman in the end, and then

565
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 10: he actually posts this on social media. But I think

566
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 10: it's just some insight into the way that these people think.

567
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: And the last story that I wanted to cover with you,

568
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: and this will lead into what I'm going to wrap

569
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: up the show with once we're done with our conversation

570
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: Liz Colin is you've got multiple members of the Democrat

571
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: and Party, the DFL, who have openly talked about being

572
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: a part of this anti ice network.

573
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: You had Representative Alex Falconer.

574
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: You guys have a story about Brad Tabke as well,

575
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: and he's probably been one of the most prominent from

576
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: the beginning in pushing back on what's been taking place.

577
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: Talking a little bit about what you guys share in

578
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: this story from Alpha News.

579
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 10: Yes, this is all about how they're basically trained. I

580
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 10: think it's grown from there were several thousand people that

581
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 10: had done this training and now I've heard as many

582
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 10: as like thirty forty thousand people that have.

583
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 8: Gone through this training in Minnesota.

584
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 10: But how to safely and legally follow border agents, that's

585
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 10: part of their their training.

586
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 8: A lot of whistle training what each of those mean.

587
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 10: But but yeah, you're right, Brad Takey has really been

588
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 10: at the forefront of this. We were doing stories even

589
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 10: this fall talking about like, hello, this seemed problematic to

590
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 10: anybody else, And now we've seen many elected officials join

591
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 10: and be a part of this, you know, resistance movement.

592
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 10: But he's part of the Scott County and Ice Watch network.

593
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 10: And there's just a long story there over over at

594
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 10: Elpha News what it is they actually trained for. I

595
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 10: did want to mention We have a couple live streams

596
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 10: coming up today for your listeners. Noon today, mayors are

597
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 10: holding a press conference mayors from across Minnesota. They have

598
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 10: had it with fraud and how it's trickling down the

599
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 10: you know, what's happening in their communities. That's coming up

600
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 10: at noon, and we will stream that live over at

601
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 10: Alpha News and also one thirty today christ and Robbins.

602
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 8: Of course, the share of the Fraud.

603
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 10: Committee she's going to be say, and so that'll be

604
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 10: another live stream we will feature over on alphanews dot

605
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 10: organ also our YouTube channel.

606
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 8: You can check it out there.

607
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: I think just two quick things before I let you go.

608
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: Liz Colin, and I've mentioned this a few times on

609
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: the show, but there was a story about Lieutenant Governor

610
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: Peggy Flanagan denying being involved in this in the single chat,

611
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: and I just I thought it was interesting because, you know,

612
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: in her denial, it kind of sets up a precedent

613
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: that if she had been involved in these then that

614
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: would be a bad thing. The fact that she's so

615
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: adamantly denying it and so not that I expect Democrats

616
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: to be consistent in anything, but the fact that she's like, no, no, no,

617
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't would kind of make one believe, oh, okay,

618
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be involved in this. And yet,

619
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, rat Task's been a part of this.

620
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: I have the audio that i'll play here in a

621
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: moment of the from the Minneapolis Public School System, Marsha

622
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Howard saying that the elected officials are a part of this.

623
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: So you know, I wonder if you know this could

624
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: potentially cause any headaches for the DFL, considering the fact

625
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: that she was so again adamant that I was not

626
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: a part of these signal chats.

627
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, and we reached.

628
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 10: Out your office also and they said that, yeah, that

629
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 10: that wasn't her.

630
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 8: But very interesting.

631
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 10: Here's the reaction, right, So she that this person goes

632
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 10: away and then everybody talks about how much trouble they're in,

633
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 10: and yeah, a few days later, everybody's bragging about how

634
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 10: they're members of this these signal chats.

635
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 8: So I do agree.

636
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 10: I think this could could be problematic down the road.

637
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 10: We we shall see. But she was busy making an

638
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 10: orgami bunny.

639
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:28,879

649
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: that he said was made by the classmates of the

650
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: five year old child of the illegal immigrant that ran

651
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: away and abandoned him while Ice was attempting to detain him.

652
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: So there's a photo available up now on X of

653
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: the orange or Agami bunny.

654
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,040

660
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 8: of paper.

661
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,080

662
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: Could it could be that could be any anything, that

00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 11: Oh?

673
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I do, Yeah, I do this is

674
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: Marcia Howard talking about the signal chats and the number

675
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: of elected officials that are actually involved in in this,

676
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: and she works with the Minneapolis the schools, she's in

677
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: Minneapolis teacher there's union president.

678
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 11: With All Jazeera, the head of a Minneapolis teachers union. Well,

679
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 11: she probably admits that elected officials are in signal chats.

680
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 11: They're being used to share information about where these federal

681
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 11: agents are.

682
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 2: Listen the notion that people that are actively.

683
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 4: Engaged in ice watch, in being vigilant in protecting our neighbors,

684
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: in signal chat groups, running plates in their cars, doing patrols,

685
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 4: that somehow we're ashamed of that activity, that somehow you

686
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 4: could call our bosses or show our faces and then

687
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 4: we would be shunned by our community. Our bosses are

688
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 4: in the signal chats with us, our elected officials are

689
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 4: in the chats with us.

690
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 11: And I have reached out to the office to get their.

691
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Reaction talking about that in or detail on tomorrow's show.

692
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: So a conflict there between those involved in the signal

693
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: chats and the elected officials. If you missed any portion
