This is what you said in twenty eighteen. 15 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 4: The future of the American healthcare system was a legitimate 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 4: public policy issue, as is the security of our borders. 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 4: But we shouldn't be the discussion amidst a government shutground 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 4: trying to use our nation security and all of these 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 4: federal workers and the horses they do as hostages. 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: Aren't you doing today exactly what you were criticizing then? 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: No, that was a fight over sort of the long term. 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 3: Of course, No, that. 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Was different because we were arguing different things and just 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: say that it's okay when your side does it, but 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: not okay when the other side does it, or vice versa. 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: The Democrats could listen. 27 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: They still try to play this game on the left, 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: this this moral high ground which they just do not have. 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: It would actually be beneficial if they just embraced how 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: hypocritical they actually are. Those voices that they're appealing to, 31 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: the ones that get most vocal in public, that'll show 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: up at No King's protests this weekend, that'll post videos 33 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: on social media, they don't care. 34 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: They're just as irrational as the leadership they vote for. 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: So just own it. People will have way more. 36 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: Respect for you if you did, because they try. 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: To play this game of. 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: Vilifying and demonizing the right but then also seeming like 39 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: they're being fair, and they're not. 40 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen. I wish they would. 41 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: You do have sort of glimmers of this, little little 42 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: tiny bits where you see individuals that act this way. 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: Zohram mom Danni is a good example and probably the 44 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: best example I could use, because he's pretty bold and 45 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: what he feels about his policies and what he wants 46 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: to do. 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: He doesn't hide it and as proof he has a 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: lot of support. 49 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: On CNN, they are so close to figuring President Donald 50 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: Trump out as they look at all the praise that 51 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: he's receiving over the peace deal in Israel and Hamas. 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 5: Another common the President made on his way to Israel 53 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 5: board Air Force one. Uh, he was asked if the 54 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 5: ceasfire deal will help him get into heaven, which is 55 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 5: I gotta say, I've been in the press pool. 56 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 3: It is a unique question that is to ask the 57 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: President of the United States. However, his response was also unique. 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 59 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay, 60 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 6: I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. 61 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 6: I may be in heaven right now as we fly 62 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 6: an Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna 63 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 6: be able to make heaven. 64 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 7: Look at somebody else who may have a hard time 65 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 7: with this same topic that it's really interesting when you 66 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 7: hear him say this, because it makes him a regular guy. 67 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 7: It really makes me upset because folks, it making you 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 7: know what he say loud to yourself. I do that 69 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 7: a lot other folks. That he's just made a regular 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 7: person going look I've made a lot of mistakes. Y'all've 71 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 7: all covered me and pulled out everything I've ever done 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 7: in my life, so maybe I'm not going to have 73 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 7: a stretch out all the way to have it. It makes 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 7: him really, really like a regular folks, and as a Democrat, 75 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 7: it makes me hate it. 76 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: I think check is one hundred percent correct. I mean, 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: they're so close to figuring it out. He's genuine, he's authentic. 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: That's why they never thought he was going to win 79 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: in the first place, because he wasn't a politician. That's 80 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: why they got so upset when he beat Hillary. That's 81 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: why they worked so hard with everything that transpired leading 82 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden doing nothing with my fingers winning and 83 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: preventing Trump from a consecutive second tournament office, which. 84 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: I'm glad that he did. That was a gift. I 85 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: don't think most people will see it that way. 86 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: I know that we're dealing with a lot of the 87 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: ramifications of the past four years. But I said before 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: on the show, shortly after Trump won his second term 89 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: that having those four years and the Trump that we 90 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: have now and what he's able to accomplish is much 91 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: different than what would have happened with a consecutive Trump term. 92 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: Either way, we were going to have to deal with 93 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: the country being where it is now. We're going to 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: have to go through these difficult times if we're going 95 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: to reach a better place, because we were not going 96 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: to be able to sustain ourselves the way that we 97 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: were trucking along with this sort of jockeying back and 98 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: forth in power. 99 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 3: No, it needs to go to extremes. 100 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: Things have to get worse sometimes before they get better. 101 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: And President Donald Trump, now having been delayed of his 102 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: second term, knows that, which is why he's working so 103 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: quickly to go and accomplish what he wants to accomplish, 104 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: especially heading in the next year's midterm. So as we 105 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: were talking talking about last Hour, another math protest of 106 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: Trump administration taking place of this weekend, hundreds of sites nationwide, 107 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: including sixty nine cities across Minnesota, will hold there no 108 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: King's Rallies Nearly twenty No kings Rallies are planned for 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: the Twin Cities alone on Saturday. Another fifty two events 110 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: will happen in other parts of the state. Looking through 111 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: some of the materials for those that are going and 112 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: taking part in the no Kings protests. 113 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: I've been out, by the way, not a ton. 114 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: I can probably count on my hand the number of 115 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: different Conservative led rallies, protests doing that thing with my 116 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: fingers that I've been involved in, mostly going back to Obamacare, 117 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: the Tea Party movement. I don't ever remember getting any 118 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: flyers or anything relating to instructions on how to go 119 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: and conduct myself. Although a core principle of the No 120 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Kings group movement is a commitment, they say in the 121 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: materials to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. Organizers are 122 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: already planning and advising in case of potential threats and 123 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: the event of arrests, track arrests individuals, and coordinate legal assistance, 124 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: says the material. Reach out to the local chapter of 125 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: the National Lawyer's Guild for support or the names of 126 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: local lawyers willing to offer services pro bono and other 127 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: The document says. The group also appointed excuse Me posted 128 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: a video on October seventh with tips for attendees, including 129 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: instructions to use encrypted apps such as Signal. They're encouraging 130 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: participants to bring American flags to reclaim the symbol. 131 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: And remind the world that freedom we stand for. Is 132 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: freedom for all. 133 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump was asked about the protest and a 134 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: clip that was shared on shared by the White House, 135 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: he says, I don't feel like a king. I have 136 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: to go through hell to get stuff approved. No, we're 137 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,559 Speaker 1: not a king. We're not a king at all, Trump said. 138 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: Organizers said that their website on their website, millions of 139 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: people are expected to turn out for the protest this weekend. Yeah. 140 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: No, I have no doubt. 141 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: It's probably going to need bigger than the first round was, 142 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: and it's in direct relation to how successful Trump has 143 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: been in this first year of his second term. Transportation 144 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: Secretary Sean Duffy claimed yesterday the upcoming No King's protests 145 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: were part of the anti fascist Antifa movement. 146 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: Here's what he had to say. 147 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 8: The No King's protest, Maria really frustrating. I mean, this 148 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 8: is part of Antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question 149 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 8: who's funning it? But yeah, Democrats want to wait for 150 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 8: a big rally of a No King's protest when the 151 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 8: bottom line is who's running the show in the Senate. 152 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 8: Chuck Schumer is not running the show. The No King's 153 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 8: protesters or organizers are running the show. Is AOC threatening 154 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 8: a primary against Chuck Schumer. 155 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 7: Is she running the show? 156 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 8: But you need a strong leader in the Senate to 157 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 8: take control and make decisions. And Chuck Schumer is blown 158 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 8: in the breeze. He has no power, no authority because 159 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 8: he's given up to his primary opponent, potenticy in AOC 160 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 8: or to the No Kings protest organizers. 161 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: And it's shameful morning, John. 162 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 9: I find it fascinating that Trump can negotiate with terrorists 163 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 9: and have world peace in the Middle East. However, we 164 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 9: can't even negotiate with Democrats. So I'm not quite sure 165 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 9: what that makes. But Democrats at this point, thanks, have 166 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 9: a good day. 167 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: Listen.

I wouldn't 215 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: be all that surprised just standing there at the end 216 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: of their block with a note, just flapping a no 217 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: King's banner back and forth. 218 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,599 Speaker 14: I will say, like at least once or tights a 219 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 14: week on the way home, I'll see no Kings protests 220 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 14: like on ped bridges and stuff.

It's so strange. 223 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's a ridiculous notion. I and they 224 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: found something. 225 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: It stuck. I get it. But it's just dumb. 226 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 15: Be that is it. 227 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: May some people think this is dumb before we get 228 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: back to your talkback. Speaking of the shutdown, airports are 229 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: saying they're not gonna air the Christy Nomes shutdown video 230 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: at TSA checkpoints. 231 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, well here's the audio. 232 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 15: Hi. 233 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 16: I'm Christine Home, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. 234 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm sor, I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna 235 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: stop and restarted here really quick. 236 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's just me. 237 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: I know what Christy Nome sounds like, but when I 238 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: hear this, knowing it's supposed to be in an airport, 239 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: I cannot immediately feel like I'm in an airport, like 240 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm standing in line waiting to back 241 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: my bags or to go through security when I watch 242 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: or play this audio. 243 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 16: Hi, i am Christine Home, the United States Secretary of 244 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 16: Homeland Security. It is TSA's top priority to make sure 245 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 16: that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience 246 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 16: as possible while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in 247 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 16: Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, 248 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 16: many of our operations are impacted and most of our 249 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 16: TSA employees are working without pay. We will continue to 250 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 16: do all that we can to avoid delays that will 251 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 16: impact your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will 252 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 16: soon recognize the importance of opening the government. 253 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, several airports Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, Oregon. 254 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: So the video could violate internal policies that bar political 255 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: messaging or contravene the state and federal laws that prohibit 256 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: the use of public resources for political activity. Looking at 257 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: the though from sort of a critical angle, could you're 258 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: a Democrat, wouldn't you want this video plane? I mean, 259 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: from a certain perspective, it helps their narrative that the GOP, 260 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: in their view, won't fund the Obamacare subsidies. That's what 261 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: all this still hinges on. So I would think that 262 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: they would be totally fine with this sort of narrative. 263 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: But there again, I go trying to act like a 264 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: liberal and using common sense, and those things don't mix well. 265 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 13: Warren John Morn and sam Ala Tucker here calling from Billians, Montana. 266 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, the no Kings protests are going to. 267 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 13: Be going all over my new home state of Colorado. 268 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 13: My substitute teacher wife will be attending on Saturday as well, 269 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 13: and I'm sure I'm going to be hearing all about 270 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 13: it no school all week long in Colorado. I presume 271 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 13: that the NEA thing carries forth across the entire country. 272 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: Yep, you guys have yourselves a good morning. 273 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 13: I'm listening. 274 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 12: For the No King's protest. What possibly could they be 275 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 12: protesting about? 276 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 16: The main thing that they were protesting is literally finished, 277 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 16: So what is there to protest about? 278 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: I'm confused. Well, as we were talking about last hour, 279 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: and I agree with the speaker, Mike Johnson, they're using 280 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: the shutdown now. And this is what you will see 281 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: over the weekend if you pay attention to any of 282 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: the legacy media that will spend an inordinate amount of 283 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: time covering these protests. A lot of this is going 284 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: to be on the shutdown and how they don't care 285 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: about the American people on the right. And this is 286 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: another example of Trump being a king. 287 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 17: The caller's question, the point is to get people wound 288 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 17: up with unspecified, unfettered rage and just unquirk it and 289 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 17: see what happens. They don't even give it a focal point. 290 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: They yeah, and when. 291 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: They're interviewed, a lot of the people don't even have 292 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: an idea of why they're there beyond just their hatred 293 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: of Donald I mean I said this during the lead 294 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: up and in the aftermath of the first round of 295 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: No Kings rallies. 296 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 3: This is just orange man bad. That's that's it. 297 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 18: A suggestion for the thousands, if not millions, of people 298 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 18: who will attend to No King's rallies, just imagine the 299 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 18: change that could occur if instead you were to converge 300 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 18: upon a homeless shelter or an animal shelter, perhaps an 301 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 18: old folks home, or even knock on the door of 302 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 18: a neighbor and ask do you need anything? Because I 303 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 18: can guarantee you that's what we evil conservative Republicans will 304 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 18: be up to. Change does not start at the top. 305 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 18: It starts with you. 306 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: Hey, John Dan in the truck. 307 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 19: So when you say doing that thing with my fingers, 308 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 19: are you actually doing that thing with your fingers? 309 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: One hundred percent? 310 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 13: Yeah. 311 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: You can ask anybody that runs that were at that 312 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: runs the board here for the for the show. Whenever 313 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: I do that thing with my fingers, I'm actually doing 314 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: the air quotes. And just as a quick recap on 315 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: that as to why I do that, This goes back 316 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: to really early on in my talk radio career when 317 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: I was working through stories and things would be in quotations, 318 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: and I didn't like saying things were in quotations, so 319 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: I did the doing that thing with my fingers instead, 320 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: which doesn't really make a lot of sense. I could 321 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: be completely honest, because it takes longer to say doing 322 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: that thing with my fingers that it does air quotes. 323 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 3: I just find it a lot more interesting. 324 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 20: Hey, John, I wonder how many of these people are 325 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 20: using their AARP group discounts for traveling get cheaper plane 326 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 20: tickets and lodging and such. Are their union memberships for 327 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 20: that thing? Do you actually think they have a whole 328 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 20: lot of skin in the game. I don't think so. 329 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 20: They are doing it on the cheap like they always 330 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 20: do grifting. 331 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: Listen, if the last wanted to go and protest anything, 332 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: they should go and protest the Minneapolis City Council and 333 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: the leadership there, and the fact that a couple of 334 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: major downtown yearly events are no longer going to take 335 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: place because of crime a lack of downtown foot traffic. 336 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: Here's the story of the holidays and aquitennial changes that 337 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: are ahead for Minneapolis from Fox nine. 338 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: Listen to this. 339 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 19: These are things that we put on the list of 340 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 19: things that we love about living downtown. 341 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 21: For the last year and a half, Corner Coffee has 342 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 21: been the place to go for a cup of Joe 343 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 21: on Ni Glitt Mall.

The consul says it will still 352 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 21: promote the festivals, but it is looking for another organization 353 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 21: to take the lead. 354 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 22: We're not trying to pull the plug, it's more how 355 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 22: do these events evolve adapt change? 356 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 21: The council says Holladazzel has struggled since it more from 357 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 21: its original nighttime parade in the early nineties to help 358 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 21: downtown businesses compete with the Mall of America to a 359 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 21: winter festival, first in Loring Park and then Nicolett Mall. 360 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 21: And the Aquitennial, which started in the forties as a 361 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 21: civic celebration of Minneapolis has gone from the ten best 362 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 21: days of summer to a four day festival consisting of 363 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 21: the Torchlight Parade and fireworks, with a handful of events 364 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 21: in between. 365 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 22: Even though it sounds like we're canceling something, if something 366 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 22: isn't happening, it's just going to be thought of differently 367 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 22: and hopefully executed even better. 368 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 21: The Downtown Council says, Holadazzel will evolve into Winter Apolis, 369 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 21: a broader campaign which will showcase a full season. 370 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: Of events rather than a single one. Gotcha. 371 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 21: That may be the formula for success in the future 372 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 21: for Downtown. 373 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 19: Hopefully our change is not a giving up, but rather 374 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 19: a retooling to be able to do it better. 375 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 21: Now, The Downtown Consul says it we'll release more information 376 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 21: about this year's Winterapolis later this month.

They went out there and 381 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: did the work to talk about why these changes doing 382 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: nothing with my fingers were taking place. But he wrote, 383 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: in light of this story, the Minneapolis Downtown Council just 384 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: canceled haula Dazzle an Aquitennial, two of the city's biggest 385 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: public festivals, because of crime and a lack of downtown 386 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: foot traffic. What was once a vibrant downtown has been 387 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: destroyed by the failed liberal policies under Tim Walls and 388 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: Listen under the leadership of the Minneapolis City Council, which 389 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: will only get worse if an individual like Omar fat 390 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: ends up becoming mayor Listen, It's gonna get worse under 391 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: Minneapolis Man Babe may or Mom Jeans Jacob Fry, just 392 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: not as worse as bad as the other individuals that 393 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: were and are running. The Star Tribune asked what to 394 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: make of a Precarious State, which chronicles and really serves 395 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: as a sequel to, in my opinion, the Fall of Minneapolis. 396 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: You watch those two back to back, and this really 397 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: is kind of a part two of the ramifications of 398 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: what happened in the wake of the death of George Floyd, 399 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: producer paid to broadcast documentary focusing on crime, testcores and socialism. 400 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: We'll bring you some details of what the Star Tribune 401 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: had to say and question, plus more of your comments 402 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: from the iHeartRadio app coming up on Twin City's News 403 00:21:51,760 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five FM. We'll 404 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: turn our attention on the show in just a moment 405 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: over to a couple of different pieces this morning. Regarding 406 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: the documentary that was released a few weeks back, A 407 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: Precarious State. The Start Tribune got in on this yesterday. 408 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting what to make of a Precarious State? They asked, 409 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: a new film that sees Minneapolis through a dark lens. 410 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: Producer of paid broadcast documentary focusing on crime, test scores 411 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: and socialism. Also, Bill Glawn saw the article as well 412 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: as written some things about it. So I'm going to 413 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: share a little bit about will Bill Glaughn had to 414 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: say from American Experiment, and then run through the piece 415 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: myself as well. 416 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 3: Before we do, though, we. 417 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: Had some comments that rolled in continuing our discussion of 418 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: the upcoming Minnesota and Minneapolis. 419 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: No King's protests. 420 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: Let's get back to a few of your talkbacks before 421 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: we turn our attention over to Minneapolis. 422 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 12: Anybody else want to find out where these No Kings 423 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 12: Rallies are and show up with a sign that says 424 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 12: No Kings That includes Tim wawbles and see how unhinged 425 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 12: and at the critical all these participants are because everything 426 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 12: they say Trump's doing, Tim Walls is doing, has done, 427 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 12: will do again, but they'll support him. 428 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you and I both know that. Thank you 429 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: for the talkback. But you and I both know it 430 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: wouldn't be it wouldn't be worth it. Peter, you know 431 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: this is what the protesters want. It doesn't matter. I'd 432 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: much rather just have them go out throw their hissy fit, 433 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: have their signs, do their little dance, do their chance, 434 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: put their nonsense on display. I'm sure there are gonna 435 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: be plenty of signs relating to Charlie Kirk and his assassination. 436 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: And I expect, in terms of the for lack of 437 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: a better way to describe it, the sign commentary that 438 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: will see this weekend on display, I expect it to 439 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: be much more egregious than what we've seen in the past. 440 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: I expect it to be a lot lot worse because 441 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: it's in tandem with the success that Donald Trump has had. 442 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: The more success that Trump has as the president, and 443 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: the more successes that he can hang his hat on, 444 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 1: the more radical the left is going to be in 445 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: pushing back now. 446 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: There are cracks. 447 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: I played you audio earlier Bill Maher, for example, you 448 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: heard from some of the Legacy News where they're trying 449 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: to figure out Trump's popularity. So you can see this 450 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: attempt by some individuals on the left that are trying 451 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,479 Speaker 1: to be rational, but it's just not enough when you 452 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: look at those who hold the levers of power, and 453 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: especially with the shutdown, and I'm with Johnson, I'm convinced 454 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: that the Democrats are continuing to perpetuate the shutdown in 455 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: part because they want to be able to use this 456 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: heading into the the weekend, especially in light of the 457 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: fact that any pro Palestinian protestations are going to be 458 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: lost and even more ridiculous than they were when they 459 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: were protesting pro Palestinian issues the first time around. We 460 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: had friends of the show leave Tom leave a talk back. 461 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: A little bit earlier. Another friend of the show wants 462 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: to respond to him. 463 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 23: Hey, John, Jerry Rosemond again. You know I have to 464 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 23: say bravo to Tom. I was thinking the same thing. 465 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 23: If you want change, why don't you start with you 466 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 23: going out and protesting against a king that isn't there 467 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 23: a supposed king that just ended a war that They've 468 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 23: been fighting since the day I was born. Can't give 469 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 23: a man no credit for anything. They are truly not 470 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 23: happy people. 471 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: And I would much rather have all these I hope. 472 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: That there is double the amount of individuals going out 473 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: and protesting this weekend, no kings. I hope it's peaceful, 474 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: but I hope as many angry Democrats show up as possible, 475 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: because I would. 476 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: Much rather have them go. 477 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: Do their chance, hold their signs, waste their afternoon, and expend. 478 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 3: All that time and energy. 479 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: I'd much rather have them doing that during protests like 480 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: this than actually doing things of substance like door knocking 481 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: for candidates. Time is money, like donating to candidates, going 482 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: and talking to their friends and neighbors about the policies, 483 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: or I guess the for the left, it would just 484 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: be about how bad Trump is. 485 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 3: I'd much rather have them. 486 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: Just go and get it all out of their system, 487 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: because that's what a part of this is as well. 488 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: A lot of these individuals. I would say a majority of. 489 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: These individuals don't get heavily involved in the politicking nessity 490 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: to actually get people elected, So by all means, go 491 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: and waste your time, waste your energy, waste your gas money, 492 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: get your creativity out in your signs this weekend, and 493 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: I hope as many people show up as possible. All Right, 494 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: one more clip here on this issue, and then we'll 495 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: turn things over to a precarious state in Minneapolis. But 496 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: Scott Adams on his recent podcast, he had this to 497 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: say regarding President Donald Trump, his success with Israel and 498 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: himas and also the continued Democrat framing of Trump being 499 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: an authoritarian. 500 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 24: So meanwhile, while the so called Hitler is finding peace 501 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 24: for Israel, the Democrats are still they're still whining about 502 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 24: him being an authoritarian Hitler. While we're all watching the 503 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 24: authoritarian Hitler bring peace to the entire world. The Democrats 504 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 24: could not be losing harder than they are today. Today 505 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 24: is peak peak losing for Democrats. They just got to 506 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 24: shut up at this point. 507 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 3: Just let it go. Well, just let it go. 508 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 24: There's nothing you should say right now except thank you, 509 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 24: mister president. 510 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not going to They're not going to 511 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: let it go. Adams knows that they're just going to 512 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: double down. The only way that I'm the only way 513 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 1: Democrats end up changing, moving forward and getting back to 514 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: a place where we can actually go and have a 515 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: debate again, because right now I think it's even pointless 516 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: to go and debate with Democrats. Quite honestly, it was 517 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: the core of this time on yesterday's show. If you 518 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: missed to be sure to check out the podcast on 519 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. But the only way that you're going 520 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: to see any sort of wholesale change on the left 521 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: is if they just continue to lose elections and stay 522 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: out of power. 523 00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 3: That's it. 524 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: And then their base realizes and wakes up to the 525 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: damage that the current elected leadership across the country and 526 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: in DC and what they have done to the party, 527 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: and then they end up putting individuals back into positions 528 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: of power where policy is where the disagreements lie, and 529 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: they put all of the vilification and demonization off to 530 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: the off to the side. All right, Before we turn 531 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: our attention over to Precarious State Aquarius Home Services, I 532 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: want to remind you has year shot at four tickets 533 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: to see Green Bay take on the Purple and early 534 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: January plus five hundred dollars in game day cash. 535 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 3: Register for your chance to. 536 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: Win today, head on over twin Cities news Talk dot 537 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: com on the contest page twin Citiesnews Talk dot com 538 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: forward slash furnace to enter all right. The Minneapolis Star 539 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: Tribune rebutes or excuse me rebuts the Rickcpchella docum on 540 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: the decline of the Fall of the Twin Cities. So 541 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: last week, Bill Glana centered the American Experiment had reviewed 542 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: and recommended, and, as we talked about on the show 543 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: as well, the fifty nine minute film. In an article 544 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: posted in The Star Tribune that took four reporters to write, 545 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: the headline reads, as I mentioned, what to make of 546 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: a Precarious State, the new film that seems Minneapolis through 547 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: a dark lens. The bill writes, dark the feedback that 548 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: I've received from viewers of Cupchella's work is that it's 549 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: far too optimistic. Coming in one month before the city election, 550 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: the Tribune story goes, that could tip the balance of 551 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: power in Minneapolis's city Hall. The new documentary from the 552 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: former Care eleven anchor paints a dark picture of the 553 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: state's largest city while taking aim at several city council 554 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: members on the issues ranging from taxes to commercial real 555 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: estate migration to the city's business climate bill. As a 556 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: public education campaign, the film will precerry you state has 557 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: drawn some three hundred thousand views on YouTube and aired 558 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: statewide on ABC affiliates last week as a paid advertisement. 559 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: Now Bill goes on to say, to be clear, the 560 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: current balance of power on the Minneapolis City Council, my 561 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: word is held by members of the Twin Cities Democrats, 562 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: Socialists of America and their DSA chapter. The DSA, like 563 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: its cousins ANTIFA, ceases to exist as a corporate entity 564 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: whenever it comes in for criticism. City council member the 565 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: Star Tribune Rights Chas and Chavez told the Star Tribune 566 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: that the DSA isn't a national political party, but a 567 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: movement that prioritizes local autonomy and democratic control. Although no 568 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: DSA endorseed member would sit for a cupchell A interview, 569 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: they are quick to point out to the Star Tribune 570 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: where they allegedly differ from the DSA platform, especially on 571 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: crime and policing. As for some of the other points made, Cupchella, 572 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: it goes on to say, it's true the crime exploded 573 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis after the pandemic as it did elsewhere, and 574 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: that some categories of crime, including homicides, still remain higher 575 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: than pre pandemic levels, but in other categories, police have 576 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: made progress. Motor vehicle's thefts are down since twenty twenty three, 577 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: and carjacking is also down sharply since its peak in 578 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Bill Glong goes on to say the 579 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: difference between normal and normative Cupceella uses the baseline pre 580 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: pandemic year of twenty nineteen. High crime is the new normal, 581 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: perhaps down from a peak, but that does not make 582 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: it good or correct. 583 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 15: I love how the liberals try to put positive spin 584 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 15: on this. No Downtown is dying because you haven't addressed crime. 585 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 15: You've defunded the police, the rotating system of criminal justice, 586 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 15: just letting criminals back out on the streets. You're removing parking, 587 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 15: you're not car friendly in your favor of bike cleans 588 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 15: and trains, and you're just you destroyed downtown and now 589 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 15: they don't want to take responsibility for it now. 590 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: State Representative Walter Hudson joins me in studio. I want 591 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: to get to him in just a moment, but I 592 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: want to bring up one particular data point in this 593 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota Star Tribune article that I thought was interesting because 594 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: I did a quick bit of research, which means I 595 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: consulted AI on Google. So the council did not cut 596 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: the budget relating to law enforcement, right, did not cut 597 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: the budget in twenty twenty one, but it has overseen 598 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: a series of increases in police spending since then, from 599 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy million four years ago to two 600 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four million budgeted today for law enforcement. Okay, 601 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: So when you actually go and look at the numbers, 602 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: and I backed it up to about twenty sixteen, you 603 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: you know have budgeting for law enforcement that fluctuates anywhere 604 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: between one hundred and seventy nine million and two hundred 605 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: and thirty million. 606 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 3: It was at two hundred and thirty million back in twenty. 607 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 1: Sixteen, so it dipped back down, but then it came 608 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: came back up right heading into the most recent year. 609 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: But the Start Tribune doesn't make note of a particular 610 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: data point, and that is the number of police officers. 611 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: So you have two hundred and thirty four million dollars 612 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: that you're spending. You want to talk about how you're 613 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: increasing the budget for law enforcement, but where is that 614 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: money going. 615 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 3: You have the violence interrupters. When you look at the number. 616 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: Of officers, we were at a peak of about nine 617 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: hundred back in twenty sixteen when we had the same 618 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: funding at about two hundred and thirty million dollars. 619 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 3: We're down to five hundred and sixty now. 620 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: So the question is, sure, you raised the budget for 621 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, law enforcement and policing, but where is that 622 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: money going. 623 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 3: Is it all just going to overtime? 624 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: And how stressed are those five hundred and sixty officers. 625 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 11: Walter Hudson, Good morning, Good morning. And yeah, that's the trick. 626 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 11: They always play, right, They're always going to get and 627 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 11: this is this is what the left does is it's 628 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 11: always conflation. Redaction, redaction is a big one. Take it 629 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 11: a big black marker, and just making sure you don't 630 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 11: see the details and then what's left over is meant 631 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 11: to lead you to a false conclusion. We all know 632 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 11: that Minneapolis is not operating under the same level of 633 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,919 Speaker 11: law enforcement that it was even just a few years ago. 634 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: You and I haven't had a chance to talk about 635 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: the documentary Precarious State, and I want to sort of 636 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: put the caveat out there again before I make this comment, 637 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: and that is listen, I'm of the opinion that it 638 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: is a positive step forward. I only good can come 639 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: about the exposure of what was laid out in this 640 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: particular documentary. 641 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 3: It is a distressing is not the right word. 642 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: But I can't help but think though that for a 643 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: number of the individuals, because there were Democrats involved, that 644 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: there is sort of this attitude of well, listen, you know, 645 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: we covered it, you know, we let everybody know. So 646 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: it's all up to you guys now to go and 647 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: fix things. And again, we're getting the information out there. 648 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: That's a positive, But I don't want to diminish the 649 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: good work of individuals that are continuing to stay on 650 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: this and continue to report what's what's going on, because 651 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: this feels like kind of a one and done. 652 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 3: But what were your thoughts in the documentary? 653 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 11: You know, in and of itself, I was shocked that 654 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 11: it was made, and I was shocked that it was 655 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 11: aired on ABC, on actual broadcast television. So that's quite 656 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 11: a feat onto itself, just getting that message out. I mean, 657 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 11: it's just so contrary to the narrative that you're going 658 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 11: to get everywhere else in legacy media, and so it 659 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 11: was refreshing to see a different point of view, and 660 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 11: it really does rhyme with your own experience if you 661 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 11: spend any time downtown, which I have as of late 662 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 11: for various reasons, and it's unrecognizable compared to what it 663 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 11: was like I used to I spent years working and 664 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 11: playing in downtown Minneapolis. I would bring my family down there. 665 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 11: We'd go to Macy's every Christmas when they had Santa 666 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 11: Land that's before it closed, right, And you go down 667 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 11: there now in the middle of the day, and it's 668 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 11: a ghost town with like little pockets of people loitering. 669 00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 3: You know. The only real. 670 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 11: Act activity that I see is in the skyways around 671 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 11: like the Target building, and that's about it, right. There's 672 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 11: just nothing going on down there. You have to walk 673 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 11: four blocks to find a restaurant that's open. They don't 674 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 11: even open until the afternoon because there's nothing there for 675 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 11: them during the day. It's it's just absolutely nuts. And 676 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 11: so yeah, it was good to see some light placed 677 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 11: on that, but I got to tell you, I have 678 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 11: little hope that that's going to have any impact upon 679 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 11: the way that Minneapolis politics ends up working, because these 680 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 11: people never learn their lessons. 681 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: Well, that was my next question for you, is so 682 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, we have the documentary, and again it's a 683 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: positive step in the right direction. I know, I'm being really, 684 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: really cynical. I just I've been down this road before, 685 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: and I've seen this happen before, where a lot of 686 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: times people feel like they've done the work and then 687 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: that's it. And you know there are people that are 688 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: out there continuing to stay on top of it, you 689 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: know Alpha News most specifically, but with all that's been 690 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: revealed in the documentary or just going downtown, and you 691 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: do have Democrat leadership that is willing to go and 692 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: speak out about this, not on the city council, by 693 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: the way, Like what is the. 694 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 3: Endgame of the leadership? 695 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Omar Fate, let's just say for the sake 696 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: of argument, he's the He's the front runner. I think 697 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: you and I both know his policies are not going 698 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: to yield to any sort of positive results to turn 699 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: things around. 700 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 3: So if he ends up winning, not. 701 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: Like it would be much better if Jacob Fry were 702 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: to retain the position, but certainly better than Fate. I mean, 703 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: what does the future even look like? Just more of 704 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: the same and getting worse, And where does. 705 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 11: It lead It's more of the same and getting worse. Absolutely, 706 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 11: I mean, listen, this is the problem that Margaret Thatcher 707 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 11: identified right. Sooner or later, you run out of other 708 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 11: people's money, right, And that's what's what is happening in Minneapolis. 709 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 11: It is going to continue to happen. All these grandiose 710 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 11: ideas that Fate has. He thinks he's going to be 711 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 11: Minnesota zor on Memdani. Well, you got a lot of 712 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 11: less money to work with here, buddy, So I don't 713 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 11: know how you're going to managed to manifest your socialist 714 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 11: utopia when you don't have other people's money to seize. Because, 715 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,879 Speaker 11: as it turns them out, there is no Berlin Wall 716 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 11: around Minneapolis, and people can escape and they will if 717 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 11: they have the means they'll go. 718 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 3: Is it just a grift like they do? 719 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: You think that they're aware the clock is ticking on it, 720 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: Like I'm reminded of the way that New York was, 721 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: you know, going way back into the eighties and how 722 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: it was revised and rejuvenated, and I think Detroit went 723 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: through something similar. So is that the cycle we're looking 724 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: at into the individuals that would perpetuate it. Are they 725 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: just hopping on the train right now to gain as 726 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: much as they possibly can from it before they bail? 727 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 3: You know, in the wake of the devastation that they 728 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 3: end up creating. 729 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 11: That's an interesting theory. To what extent are they cognizant 730 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 11: of the folly and the finite nature of their little 731 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 11: plot and are they just trying to or. 732 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: Do they believe that they're not responsible? And this is 733 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: all these it's still the fallout from COVID well, and 734 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous. 735 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 11: But well, listen, the history of socialism and communism and 736 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 11: Marxism and all these radical left ideologies is they never 737 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 11: learn their lesson, right, It's it's always we need to 738 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 11: just double down and double down and double down and 739 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 11: and un to the point where people start dying. Like 740 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 11: that's that's what it historically manifests ys And so it 741 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 11: would be interesting to go back, and I should go 742 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 11: back and take a look at what happened in Detroit, 743 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 11: what happened in New York, Like what was the impetus 744 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 11: and the methodology by which those cities turned around. Granted, 745 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 11: they're falling right back into the old ways that are 746 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 11: were proven to not work in the first place. But listen, 747 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 11: I sincerely believe at this point preemption is the answer. 748 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 11: Like the state needs to take over the city of Minneapolis, 749 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 11: and just make the elected leadership they're completely irrelevant because 750 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 11: they're there. They are they are they are engaged in 751 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 11: what we've talked about before, which is passive tyranny. It's 752 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 11: when government, which is tasked with keeping order just decides 753 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 11: not to, just decides they're not going to do it. 754 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 11: That is as bad as if you had a warlord 755 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 11: ruling over the city, because the effect is the same. 756 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 11: You've got people just running rampant, doing whatever they want. 757 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 11: Absolute chaos. That is a violation of the civil rights 758 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 11: of the people who live in Minneapolis, and that justifies 759 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 11: the intervention of the state. 760 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna do what you can. Hang out 761 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: for a little bit, yeap, all right. State Representative Walter 762 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: Hudson joins us in studio.
