We should really this is 177 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: why I should never serve in politics, because during the 178 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: debate I would just be making ridiculous analogies to this 179 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: all the time. All right, let's wrap on this before 180 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: we talk about Dartha Malcolm, Good. 181 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: Morning, John. You're not enjoying those clips way too much. 182 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: I think us and the audience are. They're fantastic. Please 183 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: don't stop. Thanks everybody. 184 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 19: You guys are the breast, white hot and very dangerous. 185 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: I hear that's how many are describing creative. 186 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: White hot and very dangerous. 187 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: We shared with you a story from Fox nine here 188 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: on Twin Cities News. 189 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: Talk guarding. 190 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: A bill moving through the legislature that would ban this 191 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: dangerous herbal supplement. Apparently that's being used in products that 192 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: you can typically find at gas stations, convenience stores. I've 193 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 2: got a couple of emails that rolled in. I'll keep 194 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: these individuals anonymous. One friend of the show says, I'll 195 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: admit to using it a couple of times. 196 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: It only made me feel drunk. 197 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: Not sure why people say it's dangerous other than driving 198 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 2: under its influence. Well, as we've heard though, with the 199 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 2: story from Fox nine and another story here, people are 200 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 2: losing their lives over this. It seems as if larger 201 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: amounts could be very dangerous to individuals these unregulated herbal 202 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: supplements from other countries. If you do too much, it 203 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: makes you nauseous. It tastes awful. It's like you just 204 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: threw a handful of grass clippings. I got another email 205 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,239 Speaker 2: familiar individual familiar with kratom. 206 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: The nickname is Station heroin. That sounds awful. 207 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: There is a natural synthetic national version and a synthetic 208 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: excuse me, a natural version and a synthetic lab version. 209 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: The synthetic is very addictive. The synthetic is considered an 210 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: herbal supplement. Thus, unregulated states are starting to regulate the 211 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: synthetic due to the overdoses. Okay, so there in lies 212 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: the difference. I had a couple of talkbacks that were 213 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: leaning into that, kind of wondering what that was. So 214 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: you have a natural version, but there's a synthetic lab version, 215 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 2: and that's the one that appears to be the most dangerous. 216 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: Just to get everybody back up to speed on this, 217 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: got a couple of comments that rolled into regarding the 218 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: bill moving through the legislature to allow a happy hour 219 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: in nursing homes. Get to your thoughts on the iHeartRadio app. 220 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 20: Hey with a senior and happy hour thing. 221 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 12: I heard that they're really reluctant to put that in 222 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 12: because they don't want a surge of senior pregnancies. 223 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: They're not going to know what to do with all 224 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: of these kids. I don't think. I don't think that's 225 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: a worry. 226 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 11: Hey, John, janis here. My mom lives in assisted living 227 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 11: and they are already having their happy hour. It starts 228 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 11: at three pm in the afternoon and they have a 229 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 11: room where they go and it's called the pub. And 230 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 11: forty years ago, when I worked in a healthcare facility, 231 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 11: people could have beer if they wanted, but it was 232 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 11: kept at the nurses station and a refrigerator. So I 233 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 11: don't know what the big deal is here. 234 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: I think actually at this point in time, if they're 235 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: not legal, it's probably closer aligned with they speak easy 236 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: than it would be a pub. But speaking of your health, 237 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: Former Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm, she really 238 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: was the palpatine to Walls's Darth Vader back when Vader 239 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: was like, you know, it was a bad guy before 240 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 2: he was redeemed. I almost hate even associating with Walls. 241 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: Walls with Darth Vader. Maybe it's Vader to Walls's Tarkin. 242 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: I don't know. 243 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: But if you're a Democrat, you truly never really get 244 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: fired from government she's now stepping into a role aimed 245 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: at inverting a closure of the Hennepin County Medical Center. 246 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls said yesterday that he's tapped Malcolm to 247 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: serve as the Senior Advisor at Hospitals and Health Systems, 248 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: a role designed to develop recommendations for the Governor's office 249 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: on what actions the state can take to support hospitals 250 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: amid deepening financial challenges. Governor Tim Walls has said Jan 251 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: Malcolm is one of the most respected and experienced health 252 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: leaders Minnesota has ever had, and I'm grateful that she 253 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: has agreed to lend her expertise to our state's health system. 254 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: Yet again, Wall said this in a news release. Subsequently, 255 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: he held the press conference and went further to say 256 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 2: this regarding Jan Malcolm and all the. 257 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: Cree from the bats to the bugs, covered old fluff 258 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: with kisses and hogs. Okay, that might have been from 259 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: Buffalo Fluffalo, Buffalo Fluffalo. 260 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: Malcolm, who served as the Minnesota Health Commissioner from ninety 261 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: nine to two thousand and three and again from twenty 262 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty twenty three, became a high profile state 263 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: leader during the COVID nineteen pandemic, during which she led 264 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: the state's response to the crisis and addressed Minnesota through 265 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: daily updates, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Putting jan 266 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: Malcolm in charge of anything health related ever again in 267 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: the wake of COVID would be like putting Amy back 268 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: in charge currently of fighting fraud. I said it before, 269 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: I'll say it again. I'm never gonna stop saying it 270 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: when it comes to politics here in Minnesota, make it 271 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: make sense. According to the announcement, Malcolm will work with 272 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: hospital and health system leaders to help address challenges such 273 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: as rising costs, workforce shortages, federal Medicaid changes that are 274 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: reduced that are reducing funding for HCMC and other hospitals 275 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: serving large numbers of low income, uninsured patients. By the way, 276 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: just as an example of this, I have just a 277 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: sidebar story from Newsmax. America learned plenty of lessons during 278 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: the COVID nineteen pandemic, including how difficult it would be 279 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: for students to ever recover from having schools as shuddered 280 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,479 Speaker 2: despite roughly six years and two hundred billion dollars nationwide, 281 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: an additional federal spending designed to help cover recover learning losses. 282 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: A new study revealed that just one in three schools 283 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: has recovered from sharper declines in either reading or math achievement. 284 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: Only one in seven schools has recovered in both. And 285 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: we are at the bottom of these lists here in Minnesota. 286 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: And the woman who was in charge the entire time 287 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: was jan Malcolm, and now she's going to be in 288 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 2: charged of road to a new role to help save 289 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: edefin County Medical Center. Here's more of what Governor Tim 290 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: Walls had to say regarding this appointment. 291 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: Expect for the next eleven months for me to ride 292 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 3: you like you've never been ridden. And that's how the 293 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 3: story of Fluffalo ends with a happy old buffalo snuggling 294 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 3: his Graham. 295 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: Okay, that was completely unintentional, but I should never play 296 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: those two clips back to back ever again. By the way, 297 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: in the story, I didn't get to this in Fox News. 298 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 2: It was cut out, but I went back and grabbed it. 299 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: In hindsight. Governor Tim Walls was asked his thoughts on 300 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 2: Credom and specifically what it could potentially do to somebody. 301 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: This is what he had to say, grinchy heart or something. Okay, 302 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm Donell's Colin from Out the News will bail me Out? 303 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: Next to here on Twin Cities News Talk at AM 304 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 2: eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. 305 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo Fluffalo. 306 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: All right, before we talk with Liz Colin from Alpha News. 307 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: Here on Twin Cities News Talk. My name is John Justice. 308 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 2: Streaming worldwide on the iHeartRadio app. Update the app if 309 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: you haven't done so recently. Be sure to take advantage 310 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 2: of the presets and make Twin Cities News Talk number 311 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: one on your presets. I want to get to a 312 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: few of your talkbacks. We also have the talk back 313 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 2: of the day on the way. I mentioned a moment ago, 314 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: you never really lose your job if you're a Democrat, 315 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: especially in Minnesota. Darth Malcolm Jen Malcolm oversaw the unmitigated 316 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 2: disaster that was the COVID nineteen pandemic. I made the 317 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: association that she was kind of like Palpatine to Governor 318 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: Tim Walls as Darth Vader, although, as I mentioned, and 319 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: I got a couple of comments on this, probably even 320 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 2: though he was the dark Lord of the Sith, I 321 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 2: kind of feel bad even associating Darth Vader with Governor 322 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: Tim Walls. But an interesting little side note from friend 323 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 2: of the show, Annie out of Plymouth regarding Jan Malcolm. 324 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 8: I just couldn't help him call real quick again and 325 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 8: mentioned Jan Milcolm. Maybe people don't know this, but it 326 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 8: says on Wikipedia that she majored in pre net and 327 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 8: that is true, but she didn't graduate with a pre 328 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 8: net degree. Chutually changed her major to philosophy. So your 329 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 8: health expert has a degree in asking why not medicine 330 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 8: have a good day? 331 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: Why does this not surprise me?

And he just talked about how 430 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 20: you know that the deaths of Alex Pretty didn't need 431 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 20: to happen Renee Good, Alex Pretty would have been arrested 432 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 20: after kicking out the tailight that we saw on camera 433 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 20: days before his death, and just the disgust of the 434 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 20: messaging with all of that. But then went into the 435 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 20: real problem that I think a lot of people don't 436 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 20: talk about are the recruits that are coming into the 437 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 20: Minneapolis Police department. He's talking about pressure that was pushing 438 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 20: these people onto the streets when they're clearly really not 439 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 20: fit for this job. It has become more of a 440 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 20: numbers game, and he talks about how the you know, 441 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 20: a lot of them are just there for a paycheck. 442 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 20: The entire mentality of policing has changed in Minneapolis, and just. 443 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: How sad that is. 444 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 9: He says, in fact, he won't even go into the city. 445 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 20: This is a you know, has served for decades, and 446 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 20: he won't even go into the city anymore. 447 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: He's known people that have had. 448 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 9: Their car stolen two or three times. 449 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 20: In Minneapolis, so much so that they can't even get 450 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 20: insurance on their vehicles anymore. 451 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 9: And also spoke about Somali fraud. 452 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 20: Very openly, saying that he's never been to a Somali 453 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 20: da in his more than thirty years, and talking about 454 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 20: how first responders have always found that very interesting, how 455 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 20: there's no cardiac events involving Somali's just different things when 456 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 20: it came to Somali fraud, and kind of being relieved 457 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 20: that this has finally come to the surface now that 458 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 20: people are talking about this. 459 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 2: The recruitment issue, I know we're going to talk about 460 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: there's a new lawsuit upper Midwest law centers engaged in 461 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 2: this regarding the failure to adequately staff the police department. 462 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: But let's go back to the recruitments again. I find 463 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: that very very interesting. Years ago, I mean we're talking, 464 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 2: you know, I mean well over probably about fifteen sixteen 465 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 2: years ago. 466 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: I remember touring one. 467 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: Of the police training facilities in Tucson, Arizona, and it 468 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: was very similar in terms of the political dynamics at 469 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 2: the time there that region, That county in Arizona was 470 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: one of the deepest blue in all of Arizona. The 471 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: rest of Arizona, for the most part, was red. There's 472 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: a lot of parallels to Minnesota politics, just on a 473 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: much smaller scale. But at the time there was a 474 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: very specific anti police mentality that permeated through the elected leadership, 475 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 2: again much like Minneapolis. And I remember back then touring 476 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: this training facility and having conversations with law enforcement officers. 477 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: They were speaking to the difficulties of exactly what you mentioned, 478 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 2: and that is and again this is going back to 479 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: two thousand and a, two thousand and nine in a 480 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: completely different part of the country, but basically laying out 481 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: how difficult it was given the negativity towards law enforcement, 482 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: to find worthy candidates to bring into into law enforcement. 483 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: And we had limited resources in terms of the Internet 484 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: as compared to now. But even back then, they were 485 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: like going and looking at individuals MySpace pages and early, 486 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: you know, early iterations of Facebook, and they were seeing 487 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: really alarming posts of individuals who should not be serving 488 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: in law enforcement in any way, shape or form. And 489 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: you you mentioned this story and talking with this retired cop, 490 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: and suddenly all of those you know, past circumstances come 491 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 2: flooding into my head. Of the difficulties of just history 492 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: repeating itself because of the negativity surrounding law enforcement is. 493 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, and he. 494 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 20: Talks about, you know, the city councils not helping the situation, 495 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 20: the mayor's not helping the situation, even they're. 496 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 9: Chief of police. 497 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 20: Is that they're not helping the situation either, just the 498 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 20: messaging that comes from the hall. 499 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 9: You know. He kind of basically said, you'd be crazy 500 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 9: if you're going to take a job in Minneapolis. 501 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 20: Go to a suburb where you're treated much better, you're respected, 502 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 20: and also you don't have to be worried about being 503 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 20: you know, thrown in prison perhaps for the rest of 504 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 20: your life because. 505 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 9: Of just this anti law enforcement sentiment. 506 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 20: He was talking about some officers, now English. 507 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 9: Is not their first language. 508 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 20: You have a non you have a non citizen on 509 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 20: the forest in Minneapolis, something we've reported on before, and 510 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 20: he basically, you know, we didn't end the interview with like, 511 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 20: there's a light at the end of the tunnel. 512 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 9: It wasn't It wasn't the best I mean, it is 513 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 9: for him because. 514 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 20: He's retiring now, but I do applaud him for coming 515 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 20: forward and you know, being willing to talk about this 516 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 20: because it's not the messaging at all. Of course, all 517 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 20: we hear about are all the you know, people that 518 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 20: are graduating. They're out on the streets now and in 519 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 20: even the numbers game they're playing with these CSOs, these 520 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 20: community services officers are being counted, you know, sort of 521 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 20: as the demand power in Minneapolis, and it's not even close. 522 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 9: These aren't full. 523 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 20: Fledged police officers, but they're trying to, you know, kind 524 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 20: of make the picture appear much more rosy than than 525 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 20: it really is. 526 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: Talking with Liz Colin from from Alpha News, it's so 527 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: infuriating because this perception versus the reality, and specifically in 528 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: this case, what's happening with with Minneapolis. You see local 529 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: media that will latch onto and run with stories with 530 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: any teeny tiny perception that something is going good within Minneapolis. 531 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: And that's not to say that those stories aren't legitimate, 532 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: but when you you know, when you have individuals that 533 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 2: go and speak to the reality of what is actually 534 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: taking taking place, you get such pushback on that and it. 535 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Really speaks to the question that. 536 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 2: Gets raised in my mind, Liz, and that is the 537 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: leadership in Minneapolis. You know, they know the dynamics on 538 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: the ground and they simply don't care, but they are 539 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: shielded because of this perception versus the reality where if 540 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: we had media you know, at large, you guys are 541 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 2: doing you know, fantastic work obviously exposing this stuff. But 542 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 2: if you had the rest of the media that was 543 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: actually going and doing their job to bring the reality 544 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: of what is taking place, that's how you get things changed. 545 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: But so often people ask why don't why do people 546 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 2: keep voting for the people in Minneapolis. Well, the people 547 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: in Minneapolis become accustomed to this, unfortunately, and there's no 548 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: pressure to bring about any change. It's just this revolving 549 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 2: cycle that keeps Minneapolis spiraling. Downward as opposed to being 550 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: able to go and change course to get us back 551 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: to a place of prosperity. 552 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: It's just frustrating. 553 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I monitor a. 554 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 20: Lot of these press conferences from time to time, and 555 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 20: that's that's so infuriating as well. They have access to 556 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 20: these people, but they're not called on their lives or 557 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 20: they're not you know, they. 558 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 9: Don't bring any. 559 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 20: Sort of information to the table, you know, to call 560 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 20: these people on when there's plenty of evidence, for example, 561 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 20: the stolen car the raction of stolen cars that have 562 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 20: happened for the last few months now up like thirty 563 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 20: forty percent from where they were at even last year, 564 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 20: and obviously pretty much everything is worse post to George Floyd. 565 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 20: But not even a local station at all has featured, 566 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 20: you know, anything about this, or if they have, it's 567 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 20: just a you know, a quick little story about it's 568 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 20: because cars are out running and you know, cars are 569 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 20: being taken because of that. No, they're taking them into 570 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 20: Minneapolis because they can. 571 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. 572 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 2: I would love to know, like how many of the 573 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 2: you know, the the active insurrectionists on the street during 574 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 2: Operation Metro Surge, Like how many of their vehicles were 575 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: the ones that were stolen, but they don't ever want 576 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: to admit anything because they were out there, you know, 577 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: doing the righteous job of pushing back against Ice. 578 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: Just a hypothetical as I wanted to toss him do that. Well. 579 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 20: Actually, on that note though, something yeah, something we reported yesterday. 580 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 9: There's a nine to one one supervisor in Minneapolis who's actually. 581 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 20: On leave now for helping the anti ICE protesters. 582 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 9: Those are the allegations. 583 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 20: Against him helping the ANTISK protesters on the jump following 584 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 20: them information. 585 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 9: The city would barely give me any information as they 586 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 9: conduct this investigation. 587 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 20: But multiple sources have confirmed that. So you got a 588 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 20: pretty rotten system from the inside out. 589 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: This next story, Liz, it helps a couple of things here. One, 590 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 2: I'm glad there's a lawsuit moving forward on this issue. 591 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 2: But I've had friends of the show mentioned often like 592 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 2: what's happened with the laws relating to the staffing requirements, 593 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 2: like the legal staffing requirements when it comes to our 594 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: law enforcement in Minneapolis, and because clearly we haven't met 595 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: those staffing goals. And this is a really good example 596 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: of what the Upper Midwest Law Center is doing because 597 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 2: it takes somebody bringing about a lawsuit to challenge the 598 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: fact that the City of Minneapolis is allegedly not following 599 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 2: the law. I know that things don't move as quickly 600 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 2: as people would like, myself included, friends of the show included, 601 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 2: I knew you included that. Being said, you know it outlets. 602 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: It takes law firms like the Upper Midwest Law Center 603 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: to actually put forward lawsuits to go and challenge these 604 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: types of potential illegalities in this case when it comes 605 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 2: to police staffing levels. Tell us what's happened here with 606 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: this lawsuit. 607 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 9: Yes, this is. 608 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 20: Another lawsuit filed this week by Upper Midwest Law Center 609 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 20: against maryor Jacob Fry. They're saying you need to hire 610 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 20: one hundred Minneapolis police officers. Now you're still failing to 611 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 20: meet the city charter. 612 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 9: Again. I think there's more to the story. 613 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 20: As far as who they are counting and how that's 614 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 20: all working now, which we can continue to reports as well. 615 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 20: But it does you're right, It keeps it out there 616 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 20: in the open. But I also think and tell the 617 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 20: issues are addressed, you know, at the levels of the 618 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 20: city council or even you know, head off the county 619 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 20: attorney Mary Moorey Already again, I don't know what the 620 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 20: quality of these candidates are going to be looking like. Again, 621 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 20: we have people English is at their first language. They're 622 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 20: now recruiting, and I know the recruiting is happening all 623 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 20: over the country. They're not just looking, you know, around 624 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 20: here for a few good men to sign up. It's 625 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 20: so bad they have to, you know, go elsewhere, far 626 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 20: away to find these folks. And again, who are they 627 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 20: who are they finding? So we streamed this press conference yesterday. 628 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 20: You'll find it on our YouTube channel ELFA News m 629 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 20: N if you subscribe to it there.

But there's a 660 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 2: recent a new piece at American Experiment dot org. 661 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Wallas, of course, urged protesters. 662 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: Exhorting Minnesotans to resist document the atrocities taking place during 663 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 2: Operation Metro Surge. As the mayhem escalated, he declared himself 664 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,439 Speaker 2: incredibly proud of the way that you've risen to meet 665 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: this unbearable moment doing that thing with my fingers. But 666 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 2: media coverage missed a bigger and more disturbing and far 667 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 2: reaching story. For years, Walls has made entrenching the resistance 668 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: mindset into Minnesota's next generation a top priority. Starting in 669 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 2: the fall, the extremist ideology that undergirds it will be 670 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 2: embedded in every single subject in our state's roughly five 671 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: hundred public schools and charter schools via academic standards, statute, 672 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 2: and teacher licensing and training. The vehicle is the Minnesota 673 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 2: Department of Education comprehensive New K through twelve Again with 674 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 2: my Fingers Liberated Ethnic Studies program. It is an extremist 675 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 2: pedagogy teaches that America is racist and oppressive, and portrays 676 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 2: opposition as a moral imperative. The New K through twelve 677 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 2: Ethnic Study Standards, titled Resistance, requires students to organize with 678 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 2: others to engage in resistance to our nation's fundamental institutions. 679 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 2: The Walls administration and its legislative allies knowingly have chosen 680 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 2: committed political activists to design the program and direct the 681 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: new ethnic studies regime. The whole concept of even calling 682 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 2: it ethnic studies is nothing but a bait and switch. 683 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 2: It's a means to go and push back on anybody 684 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: who would go and oppose what really is a racist 685 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 2: program by labeling them a racist, saying, why are you 686 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 2: against children learning. 687 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: Their ethnic background? This is just ethnic studies. 688 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 2: And we saw the results of this already because Walls 689 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 2: has been engaged in this for years, in what has 690 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 2: taken place on the streets during Operation Metro Surge and 691 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 2: what will happen again once the temporary Protected Status finally 692 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 2: comes to an end, with that temporary court order stopping 693 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: it and deportations of immigrants here under GPS start. We'll 694 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 2: get into more details of this on tomorrow's show. We'll 695 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 2: talk with the gubernatorial candidate, Lisa damn It. 696 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for hanging out this morning. 697 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 2: If you missed any portion of today's broadcast, be sure 698 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 2: to check out the podcast available up on the iHeartRadio app. 699 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 2: I hope you have a fantastic, albeit chilly Wednesday and 700 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,240 Speaker 2: I'll talk to you guys tomorrow morning. 701 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: Have a great one. 702 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 15: Thanks everybody, You guys are the best.
