1
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota Reform our article as we enter into hour two

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: here on Twin Cities News Talk, when Representative Elliott Ingen

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired early Friday,

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: one passenger in his care Representative Walter Hudson, who was

5
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: also impaired and in possession of a nine millimeter Smith

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: and Wesson handgun and his waistband, which police confiscated and

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: for safe keeping. According to Engen's arrest report released Monday, now,

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Walter did absolutely comply with law enforcement in the moment

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: handing over his firearm. In the story, he talks about

10
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: how in the rear of the car police found a

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: bottle of alcohol in that child's car seat.

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Hudson said it was his bottle.

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: It's neither neither here nor there regarding the bigger issue here.

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: You've got Engen allegedly intoxicated. You've got Walter allegedly intoxicated.

15
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: You've got Engen driving the car. There's a headlight or

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: tail light that's out. His registration hasn't been renewed. Nobody

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: thought to make a phone call and call an uber

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: in any of this. The bottle being in the child's

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: car seat is just you know, add the cherry on

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: top of the ridiculousness of all of this, and I'll

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: ask the question again, what are we doing. We're not

22
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: talking about some unreasonable expectations here on Twin City's News Talk.

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: You know, maybe the registration could get a bit of

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: a free pass considering the conversation regarding the exorbitant fees,

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: or maybe an argument to be made there, maybe you know,

26
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: a fix a ticket. You know, forty four miles per

27
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: hour in the thirty zone really is that big of

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: a deal. But then when you add it all together,

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: the car's not registered, you've got a headlight that's out,

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: and you're drinking and driving, and you're a rep.

31
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: I just come on, all, let's get to a few

32
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: of your thoughts.

33
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a lawyer extra near Jeff O'Brien here

34
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: in just a moment on Twin City's News Talk.

35
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: John, I understand you want to hold our side accountable

36
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: when they when they make mistakes. The problem is is

37
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: the Democrats will literally elect anyone with a DFL exit

38
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 3: to their name. Look at our governor, look at elan Omar,

39
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: look at Keith Ellison.

40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: They have no standards on their side.

41
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: They can do literally anything like shut the state down,

42
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: the force vac scenes on us, do all kinds of

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: terrible things like that. They get re elected, and we

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: let little things like this.

45
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: So we let little things like this what upset us.

46
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't care what the left does. I care about

47
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: the people that I support, that I respect, that I

48
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: give credibility to to not act like them, And in turn,

49
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to act like them. I'm approaching this

50
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: exactly the same way that I would any Democrat who

51
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: would be so stupid as to make completely avoidable mistakes

52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: like this. And as I said last hour, and I

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: will continue to say, in my opinion, it's even worse

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: the whole glass houses stones issue with all of this.

55
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: If you are going to be a voice of common sense, logic, reason,

56
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: if you're going to criticize the opposition in politics constantly

57
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and hold them to a higher standard, then.

58
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you better be holding yourself to.

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: A higher standard. It doesn't matter to me how rotten

60
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: the Left is. It's not an excuse for being stupid. Now,

61
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: the technical aspect of this, I do have.

62
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Some questions on.

63
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: So I'll chill out just a little bit and we'll

64
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: invite on lawyer extraordinair. Jeff O'Brien, Good morning, Jeff. How

65
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: are we doing this morning, sir?

66
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: I'm doing well.

67
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: How are you?

68
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 5: You know?

69
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm hanging in there, man, I'm face palming a bit,

70
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: but I'm hanging in there.

71
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: I'm in the story here.

72
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: Ingen was charged with two misdemeanors, a fourth degree DWI

73
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: and a fourth degree DUI.

74
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: So I want to work through some of this.

75
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: So I know that with a DUI it's simply driving

76
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: impaired by alcohol, drugs or both, but a DWI it's

77
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: more focused on the blood alcohol concentration being above the

78
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: legal limit of point h eight. So can you kind

79
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: of break down the difference between these two and why

80
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: Ingen would have been charged with two misdemeanors?

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: If they are a shall be the same thing.

82
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: So, John, my understanding is when you have situations like this,

83
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 4: there can be two separate charges. There's a under the

84
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: influence just being under the influence, and then the driving

85
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: while impaired. They use the term d w I d

86
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 4: u I interchangeably. It's it's not unheard of to have

87
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: seeing both of them, you know, in the in the

88
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: in the charge. So it's just it's it's just two

89
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: separate counts related to the same offense, which can happen,

90
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 4: you know one you know, one action can lead to

91
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: multiple multiple counts.

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Is it is it a is it a police And

93
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: I'm probably wording this poorly, but is it like a

94
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: police cya move? We're going to charge both depending on

95
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: the mitigating circumstances with this. I mean, if he blew

96
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: according to the report, you know, he ended up blowing

97
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: what a point one four or something like this, and

98
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: then a point one three, which is certainly would put

99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: him in the d WI category. Would you just charge

100
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: both to make sure that you're covering the bases In

101
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: terms of the charge, I think.

102
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: You charged both. So it gives When it goes further,

103
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: the prosecutor has discretion if there's a you know, if

104
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: there's a plea or you know, you know, something like that,

105
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: that they maybe drop one charge and just plead to

106
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: the other charge and you know.

107
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: Go it that way too.

108
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: So Hudson could face a misdemeanor for carrying a firearm

109
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: while intoxicated. The officer did say that he was compliant,

110
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: handed over his weapon, showed the officer about the license

111
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and concealed a permit. It sounds like he handed over

112
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: the firearm, the magazines, and the holster, perhaps voluntarily. Now,

113
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: as of two thirty yesterday, he was not charged with

114
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: any crime. I mean, I assume it's still possible that

115
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: he he could be. Would there be a reason why

116
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: law enforcement would wait to render that charge on him.

117
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: No, from what I read from the reports, John, is

118
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: that because of him being cooperative and cordial, they elect

119
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: not to charge. Now, the statute you mentioned with the

120
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: point oh four B A C. When you be if

121
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: you're a permit holder, you know, if you if you're

122
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: above that, you can't be carrying. There's also like a

123
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: visible impairment or you know, intoxication standard too. So in

124
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: one story I read that it said that he was busy,

125
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: he appeared visibly intoxicated, But I saw no report that

126
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: he was actually administered a breathalyzer. So, you know, if

127
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: it was, I don't know how you would charge after

128
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: the fact, if you didn't test at the scene when

129
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: you're testing the driver, and you know, we'll see what

130
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: the reaction is now that it's out, whether or not

131
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 4: they go back and charge because of you know, public

132
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: pressure or something like that.

133
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder if this is just pure speculation on

134
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: my part as we talk with a lawyer rich short

135
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: and near Jeff O'Brien. You know, I wonder with law

136
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: enforcement seeing the bottle of alcohol Hall in the child's

137
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: car seat, Hudson saying it was his bottle, and then

138
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: assuming he voluntarily handed over his his firearm since he

139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: wasn't driving, could that be a reason why it's like, Okay,

140
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: he's being compliant. He says that's his bottle, he's handing

141
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: over his firearm, he's not driving, so there's no need

142
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: to give him a breath of wiser test on the

143
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 1: spot with that track in your mind.

144
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, possibly, you know, you know, the rule the statue

145
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: says you can't be you know, intoxicating carrying the firearm

146
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: in public, and a vehicle is considered in public, and

147
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: it sounds like it was on his person. So I

148
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: think technically the you know, the require the statutory requirements

149
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: for the for the violation were mad. But you know,

150
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: I you know, for whatever reason, his his level of

151
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: cooperation apparently prompted the officer not to proceed any sort.

152
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 6: Of you know charge, and with.

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Him well a lower extrad an era on Jeff O'Brien,

154
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: I threw up the signal on to have you come on.

155
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate you you popping on to share a little

156
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: bit more insight on this and details as to what

157
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: exactly they might be facing before I let you go,

158
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: is or anything you'd like to mention about all about

159
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: all of this, anything else that sticks out to you.

160
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 4: To be smart, you know, as you know, John, my

161
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: practice involves working with a lot of alcohol beverage producers.

162
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: So I'm around this stuff a lot, and you know,

163
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: you just have to be smart about it. You know,

164
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: this dese day and age, there's non alcoholic options, you know,

165
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: tonic water with alignment. It looks just like a cocktail.

166
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: So if you're worried about getting bugged for not drinking,

167
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 4: there's a lot of ways to do it. You just

168
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 4: you know, as a as a legislator, especially on the

169
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: Republican side, they've got targets on their backs and they

170
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: just be careful. They're not going to get the same

171
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: kind of path that the other side does.

172
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: No, No, and listen, it's just you know, hate the

173
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: game and hate the player, I guess, and in this

174
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: case it is it is what it is. But you're

175
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: you're absolutely you're absolutely right, you know, And if you're

176
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: going to be if you're going to be out there

177
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: criticizing the political opposition and expecting people to do better

178
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: than you can't go and and make mistakes like this

179
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: and then you know, anticipate that you're going to be

180
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: able to retain the credibility and goodwill that you've kept

181
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: over a long period of time. It's just also incredibly disappointing,

182
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: as is the fact that apparently, Jeff, I'm learning that

183
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, d w i's here in Minnesota, like are

184
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: incredibly common. We were looking at some of the stats

185
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: yesterday and yeah, it's not it's not great.

186
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the cold weather.

187
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I can't think you can blame my formats being changed

188
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: out for all of this, but it's all incredibly disappointing

189
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: and frustrating.

190
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: Jeff, Yeah, I know, you know, I heard one of

191
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: the talkbacks with some of the other mentioned some of

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: the you know, the dflers, the you know the famous

193
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: role in the car, the car with the white clock

194
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: hands falling out and everything. Let's not also forget you know,

195
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: the current governor got a Dui back in Nebraska days too,

196
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: So it's all over the place.

197
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, absolutely absolutely. Jeff O'Brien, lawyer, extrad and Aaron,

198
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: Thanks buddy, it was good talking with you. Thanks for

199
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: coming on this morning.

200
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: Thanks Sean.

201
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: And to my further point.

202
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: People make hay of that, rightfully so about Governor Tim

203
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Wallas's past, But.

204
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: If you're going to go and do the same thing,

205
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: come on.

206
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 6: John, Sam John.

207
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 7: I am so tired of people that rise to positions

208
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 7: of notoriety and power doing stupid things because they think

209
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 7: they can and get by with it. If it isn't

210
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 7: our sports figures, it's the political class, or it's Hollywood.

211
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: I'm tired of all.

212
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 7: Of these clowns that think it's rules for thee not

213
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 7: for me.

214
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Disgusting.

215
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: You know, don't do the crime if you can't do

216
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: the time. We all make mistakes, we all sin and

217
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: fall short of the glory of God. I've certainly, you know,

218
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: done my fair share of acting stupid while drinking alcohol.

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: That being said, if you're in a position of power,

220
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: you've been elected to that. My biggest question that I

221
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: have is, all right, how seriously are you taking your

222
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: job when you're willing to risk all of it and

223
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: the lives of others by a seemingly inability to go

224
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: and just make a simple phone call to not get

225
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: behind the wheel of a car, to not get in

226
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: a car, to put your firearm away, or not be

227
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: drinking while you're carrying it. I have an email that

228
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: came in justice at iHeartRadio dot com. I'll share with

229
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: you coming up in just a moment a friend of

230
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: the show, and I'll keep them anonymous here. They right,

231
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: like a few of my fellow listeners.

232
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: I guess they have their own show. I don't know

233
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: the way that's worded.

234
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Oddly, Like a few of my fellow listeners, I have

235
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: some sympathy for the guy who was arrested for driving intoxicated.

236
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: I will tell you why. I will let you know

237
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: what their rationale is. Coming up, and we'll get to

238
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: more of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. Talkbacks brought

239
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: to you by lend Al Realty. Next here on Twdnesday's

240
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: News Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM,

241
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: I want to add an element to this conversation that

242
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: we're having this morning. Representative Walter Hudson, armed intoxicated with

243
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Engen during DUI stop, expanding on a story that we

244
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday on the show. The article coming from

245
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Reformer, of all places, just to add insult

246
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: to injury, but I've heard anonymously from several different sources

247
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: that this drinking is just commonplace during the legislative session.

248
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: That you know, you've got representatives waiting on bills to drop,

249
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: on the bus, bills to drop, You've got legislators sitting

250
00:13:53,520 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: in small groups allegedly just drinking. People would then rush

251
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: out a thousand page bill, you get thirty ninety minutes

252
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: to read it, and then you've got individuals that aren't

253
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: in the proper headspace to go through the bills. And

254
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: how can you properly go and challenge what it is

255
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: that you're seeing if you've been drinking. So I wanted

256
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: to add this so that you kind of understand where

257
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: my headspace is on this. There's another question that's being

258
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: raised with the talkbacks that are coming up that I'll

259
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: address here in a bit, and that is I mean,

260
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: as Republicans, and this is the this is what I'm

261
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: hearing is that this level of well, you know, we

262
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: should just give them a free pass. There's a bigger

263
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: fight that we have to battle here. This is why

264
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: we lose elections. So I'll address that because I want

265
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: to get to the specific comments that are made from

266
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app so you can hear directly from those

267
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: friends of the show that are leaving those comments. Let's

268
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: go back here to the iHeartRadio at first.

269
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 8: So let me get this straight. We paint a picture

270
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 8: for you. We got this guy driving around ingen he's drunk.

271
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 8: We got Walter Hudson, dammit, who's in the back seat

272
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 8: with a bottle in the car seat for a child,

273
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 8: carrying a damn gun. And we got somebody else who

274
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 8: we don't know who they are, all three of them

275
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 8: rolling around drunk with a gun.

276
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: Really yeah, that's apparently it.

277
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Oh and expired tags on the car and inoperable light somewhere.

278
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: I have an email here. We'll get back to more

279
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: of your comments here.

280
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: In just a moment on Twin City's News Talk, but

281
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: a friend of the show, like I said, i'll keep

282
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: them anonymous, says that I have some sympathy for the

283
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: guy who was arrested for driving well intoxicated.

284
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why.

285
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: I read a book a number of years ago, called

286
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: the Promise of Sleep.

287
00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: William Seed.

288
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: He wrote that many car accidents and deaths occur because

289
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: people are driving who did not get enough sleep.

290
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: They are drowsy, They not off for a few seconds.

291
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: I've been there.

292
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: They drift into another lane until someone honks them to

293
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: wake them up. They do the head bob and they

294
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: keep falling asleep for a microsecond, or they just downrighte

295
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: fall asleep at the wheel.

296
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: They are not.

297
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: Intoxicated or drug induced. They're just sleepy. I think people

298
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: who only got a few hours of sleep, people who

299
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: wake up numerous times throughout the night, and people who

300
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: just didn't get any sleep. All of these drivers are

301
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: dangerous behind the wheel. Okay, I don't disagree with that,

302
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: And practically everyone does this. I've never heard of anyone

303
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: say I didn't get enough sleep last night, so I

304
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: took a cab to work instead of driving my car.

305
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I do know people that have.

306
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: I've pulled over to the side of the road when

307
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: I've been sleepy driving.

308
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,119
Speaker 2: I had this happen many.

309
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: Times in my former career as a housing inspector. When

310
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: I was a public real estate auctioneer, and I would

311
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: drive like two hundred and fifty miles a day. When

312
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: I've done road trips, I've pulled over and slept on

313
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: the side of the road. They go on to say

314
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: people die every day because they're operating a vehicle with

315
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: on little or no sleep and kill themselves just someone else.

316
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: Like the author writes in the book, drivers who are

317
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: lacking sleep are just as dangerous and perhaps even more

318
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: dangerous than people who drive drunk. When criticizing drunk drivers,

319
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: this is something to remember. I'll remember this, and no

320
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: disrespect to the friend of the show. I appreciate them

321
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: writing in and their views, and you're allowed to have

322
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: your opinion. That being said, I'll be more critical when

323
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: we have DWS laws driving while sleepy. Right now, we

324
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: don't have DWS laws driving while sleepy. We do have

325
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: DWI and DUI laws. Far as I know, there's no

326
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: organization of mothers out there that are upset about sleepy drivers.

327
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: They're out there upset about drunk drivers. So I guess

328
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: the other part of this. The other thing I'll say

329
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: is that, Okay, you can be concerned about this, but

330
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't make drinking and driving any less safe and

331
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: immune from criticism By those who go and do this.

332
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 9: Good morning John pastor Michael here regarding the incident with

333
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 9: the DWI up in white for a lake they must

334
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 9: have been. I think I know where they probably were,

335
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 9: and it's disappointing because his headlight was out and his

336
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 9: tabs were expired. I just put my new tabs on

337
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 9: my boat yesterday and I was thinking about how much

338
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 9: I had to pay for those. These guys are clowns.

339
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 9: I'm just so upset about this. Have a great day, John,

340
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 9: God bless.

341
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 10: What are you doing.

342
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 8: You're going after your own party. That's going against everything

343
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 8: Phil and Eric say about you being a boot liquor

344
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 8: and whatever else they call you.

345
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 11: How can this be?

346
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Because I like to be able to stare at my

347
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: family and not be a hypocrite. This is me personally.

348
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: I have a lot of people that are reaching out going.

349
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: You know, we should show some grace. As a matter

350
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: of fact, let me go ahead and get to an

351
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: email Justice at iHeartRadio dot com if you want an email,

352
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: and again I'll keep the people anonymous. I hope that

353
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: you get around to talking about the need to extend

354
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: grace to these guys that are dealing with the DUI

355
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: they made a big mistake, and they need to accept

356
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: the consequences of their actions. Whatever charge is given to them,

357
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: they need to deal with, and they may not be

358
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: qualified to serve in an elected office any further, However, we

359
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: should not throw them away as people. I'm not throwing

360
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: them away as people. On quite the contrary, They've both

361
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: said that they're sorry, They've both apologized for their actions,

362
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: said they're going to do better. I absolutely believe that

363
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: we should. You know, there's a level of forgiveness here.

364
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: Voters will decide on their own whether they want to

365
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: continue to show support behind these individuals. But as I've

366
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: mentioned before, I'm not giving any sort of free pass

367
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: in terms of my frustration and commentary just because the Republicans.

368
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I'm probably more upset because

369
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: I expect this to happen when it.

370
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: Comes to Democrats.

371
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: I expected Democrats to not respect the positions that the

372
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: voters give them because the voters don't respect those positions

373
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: because they constantly keep people in positions of power that

374
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: they shouldn't. Governor Tim Walls should not be serving as

375
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: governor right now, based on his background. There are plenty

376
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: of other Democrats that should have stepped aside and not

377
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: ran for office based off of their own horrible behavior. Again,

378
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: I expect that of Democrats, and I expect better of

379
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: Republicans because that's the party that I align with, and

380
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: there's a certain set of standards that I think that

381
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: those elected should carry. Democrats don't ever meet those standards.

382
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: So when Republicans go and break those standards, yeah, it's

383
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna take me off.

384
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 7: Good morning, John and sam.

385
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 12: By John, your show is not my circus, not my monkeys.

386
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 12: But you know what the difference between us and the

387
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 12: Democrat is, Uh, they stick together. Your dance on the

388
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 12: graves of Republicans. We don't stick together. You're going to

389
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 12: talk ten times more about this in any Democrat in

390
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 12: the state. Will That's why we can't have nice things

391
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 12: and have wings, because we dance on the graves of

392
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 12: our own people.

393
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: All right, whatever, So what's the alternate?

394
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: This is the question that I have. What's the alternative

395
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: to that that I should blow this off. If you

396
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: want to make an argument that I shouldn't spend as

397
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: much time on it, that's fine. But there's some really

398
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: compelling commentary here that I'm enjoying working through but ultimately

399
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: to what you're saying, I'm not dancing on the grave

400
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: of anybody. I'm expressing my frustration over individuals who I

401
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: have an abundance of respect for that I never imagine

402
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: would go and make such completely ignorant, stupid mistakes like this.

403
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: So the alternative is what I just turn a blind eye.

404
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: I'm not, in my opinion, if I go and do that,

405
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: I'm no better than the Democrats who continue to go

406
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: and support individuals who go and conduct themselves in atrocious ways.

407
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 13: Republicans need to understand that, unlike other legislators, they're under

408
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 13: a microscope. The Democrat, communists and probably Rhino legislators probably

409
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 13: hire private detectives to follow some of the most effective

410
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 13: orators for the republic cause in the state. So Walter

411
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 13: and Elliott, you got to know that you've got to

412
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 13: walk a straight path whether you want or not. Sorry,

413
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 13: it's not fair, but that's what we got to do.

414
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of comments that have rolled in.

415
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: I want to get to many of these. I also

416
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: want to move over to some other topics, and so

417
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: we'll continue this discussion. We'll continue to play your talkbacks.

418
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: I do want to recap. In the middle of all

419
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: of this, what more of what transpired over the weekend

420
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: with the No Brains rally. Also want to bring you

421
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: the details of the GoJ lawsuit against Minnesota State High

422
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: School League for allowing boys to compete in girls' sports.

423
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: It's all coming up on Twin Cities News Talk Am

424
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. Part of

425
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: me that says that he was told that story, and

426
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: whoever the friend is, they're just laughing at him.

427
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Oh.

428
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: Bill Nye, the science guy, was at one of the

429
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: No King's protests over the weekend.

430
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 14: Extraordinary times require extraordinary actions, and we are we are

431
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 14: living at a very unusual and troubling times. Is guys

432
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 14: from Ice wearing masks, beating people, shooting them in cold

433
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 14: blood in the United States without consequence people. This goes

434
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 14: way back two hundred and forty nine years.

435
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 15: Just these guys are delusional, absolutely delusional.

436
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: Getting back to this piece briefly, Singhmund said this back

437
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. This was the individual that was

438
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: funneling all the money into these If we want to

439
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: therefore have a new world order that is based on multilateralism,

440
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: that President g and the CPC and China have proposed,

441
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: then we have to undo the ideological damage that has

442
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: been done by the narrative of World War Two. He

443
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: said there should be a multipolar world order with China

444
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: and Russia as the leading forces, and that we need

445
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: to rewrite history of World War Two in order to

446
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: achieve this new world order. Outside forces they're trying to

447
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: destroy America and President Donald Trump while we're at it,

448
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm bringing.

449
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: This all back home.

450
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: You and I both know that Minnesota has been the

451
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: epicenter of this movement. It's been the epicenter of the

452
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: movement going back to George Floyd and how that was

453
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: exploited to the less advantage. It's really been an epicenter,

454
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: going back to COVID with the flanneled Tommy himself, Governor

455
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, and what he did to the state, which

456
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: is again not lost on you or me, that you

457
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: have all these Minnesota residents protesting on Saturday, no kings,

458
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: and yet they were more than willing to be ruled

459
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: and had their lives ruled and dictated by oh Governor

460
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: Tim Walls almost exclusively. If there was anybody who was

461
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: ever acting like a king at any time in modern history,

462
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: especially here in Minnesota, the only person you can point

463
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: to is Governor Tim Walls.

464
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 2: And I say all this to.

465
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: Express the frustration that I have when you have individuals

466
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: that you respect, that are aligned with your party, that

467
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: go and make stupid mistakes like this, because it undermines

468
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: so much of the effort that's being done among your

469
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: own party. And that's what's at stake here. You're trying

470
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: to encourage people to get out and vote. I'm not

471
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: here to get anybody elected. I'm not here to influence elections.

472
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm here to share my thoughts to entertain and hopefully

473
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: it's entertaining enough for you to listen. But it doesn't

474
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: mean I don't care. I absolutely care. I'm raising a

475
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: family here. I want them to be able to take

476
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: advantage of everything that this great state has to offer.

477
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: And that's not going to happen if we don't get

478
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: the changes necessary to get the state pointed in the

479
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: right direction. When you've got millions of dollars that are

480
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: being poured into the country and.

481
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: The state.

482
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: To continue pushing it closer and closer to what this

483
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: billionaire lunatic wants and tearing down everything America stands for.

484
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 16: Morning John, Morning Sam Rick from Annandale, Hey, Walter and Elliott.

485
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 16: They were the perfect lawbreakers. They complied, got it all done.

486
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 16: My glasshouse is very breezy, so I'm not one to

487
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 16: judge them, and nobody else should. I'm pretty sure that

488
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 16: already has a little bit of breeze in their glasshouse. Okay, Hey,

489

Speaker 1: So for any of you listeners right now, but especially

00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: for those living in glasshouses, it's gould be incredibly beneficial

501
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: for you.

502
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 17: You have somebody that's supposed to be advocating for two

503
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 17: A rights for us in the state, knowing that the

504
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 17: DFL is trying to take away our lawful right to

505
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 17: hold firearms, and you have somebody who who's advocating for

506
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 17: that and abusing that privilege at the same time. This

507
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 17: is not bode well for us at all, and you

508
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 17: should be upset with these people. We have a standard.

509
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 17: It doesn't mean we deviate or match the standard of

510
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 17: the DFL.

511
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm going to speak up. But walter carrying, he

512
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 18: was carrying when he was sober. At the end of

513
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 18: the day, he was drunk. What's you supposed to just

514
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 18: throw it somewhere?

515
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 6: On top of that, let.

516
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Me stop here, jd No, he was carrying when he

517
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: was sober, at the end of the day, he was drunk.

518
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 2: What's he supposed to throw it somewhere?

519
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 19: No.

520
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: Maybe there's another angle here, and that is don't start

521
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: drinking in the first place.

522
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: It's I doubt, dude, what are you doing.

523
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 6: A call? Restriction is nonconstitutional.

524
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 18: The Constitution fact was written by people in a tavern,

525
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 18: black people who are drunk.

526
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: He let me stop you here again. Okay, that's all

527
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: fine and dandy, but that's not the law. Now you're

528
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: sounding like a Democrat. We're just going to ignore the

529
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: rule of law. I'm not saying that your commentary here

530
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: about the inception of alcohol restriction and it being constitutional

531
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: or unconstitutional or the state of inebriation or the lack

532
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: thereof of our founding fathers who crafted the constitution.

533
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: Be that as it may.

534
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: The laws that we have on the books right now

535
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: say that what was done was illegal. So if you

536
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: don't like that, then advocate to get the laws changed

537
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: so that you can be drunk and carry.

538
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 6: The standard at the time was you can't use it.

539
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 18: So enough with this fake outrage about oh my god,

540
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 18: he had a gout and he was drinking.

541
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 6: He wasn't using it, so good god, people.

542
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: Okay, a lot of confusion this morning.

543
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: I just it really is. I am the visual I

544
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: am the real world human.

545
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: Manifestation of the shoulder shrug bombs up emoji right now.

546
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 16: Expired tabs in a headlight out they should have been

547
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 16: driving around Mini aqlis than they would have been.

548
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: Fine, you're not wrong on that.

549
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 6: All right.

550
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: We'll get back to more of your comments coming up

551
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: in just a moment here on Twin Cities News Talk.

552
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: Let's get you updated on this.

553
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: The Department of Justice announced the lawsuit yesterday against Minnesota

554
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: and the state's high school sports league for allowing boys

555
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: to compete in girl sports. According to the DOJ, the

556
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota Department of Education in the Minnesota State High School

557
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: League have engaged in sex based discrimination by requiring girls

558
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: to compete against boys in athletic competitions that are designed

559
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: exclusively for girls and allowing boys to invade intimate spaces

560
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: designed exclusively for girls. Assistant Attorney General Harmeat Dylan made

561
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: the announcement yesterday. Here is what she had to say

562
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: regarding this lawsuit against Minnesota.

563
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 20: As we observe Women's History Month, we honor the countless

564
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 20: women whose courage and resilience have shaped our nation, women

565
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 20: who stand for equal dignity, equal protection, and equal opportunity

566
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 20: under the law. At the Department of Justice, our work

567
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 20: is rooted in these fundamental principles, and during this month,

568
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 20: and indeed every month, we reaffirm our commitment to enforcing

569
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 20: the laws that protect girls and women in every walk

570
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 20: of life. One of our highest priorities is ensuring that

571
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 20: women can live free from sexual harassment, exploitation, and discrimination,

572
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 20: including in their own homes. Under the Fair Housing Act,

573
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 20: every tenant has the right to live in safety and

574
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 20: dignity without fear of coercion or abuse. Over the past year,

575
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 20: the Department of Justice has secured major settlements in Ohio, Iowa, Missouri,

576
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 20: and other states, holding landlords and housing providers accountable for

577
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 20: sexually harassing female tenants, conditioning housing benefits on sexual favors,

578
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 20: and retaliating against women who spoke up. Federal law, including

579
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 20: Tied nine, guarantees that women and girls cannot be denied

580
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 20: equal athletic opportunities based on their sex. The Civil Rights

581
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 20: Division has taken action to enforce that important law, including

582
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 20: filing suit against the State of California for violating Title

583
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 20: nine by denying female student athletes the equal opportunity they

584
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 20: are entitled to when males are allowed to compete on

585
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 20: women's teams.

586
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: Women should not.

587
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 20: Be forced to sacrifice their hard earned achievements, scholarship opportunities,

588
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 20: or competitive opportunities. What better way to end women's history

589
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 20: months than by suing the Minnesota Department of Education and

590
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 20: the Minnesota State High School League for endangering girls by

591
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 20: requiring them to compete against boys in sports and allowing

592
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 20: men to invade the intimate spaces designed exclusively for women,

593
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 20: such as locker rooms and bathrooms. Even in our prisons,

594
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 20: women retain fundamental rights to safety and dignity. Too often,

595
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 20: are Federal investigations have uncovered patterns of abuse and unsafe

596
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 20: conditions in correctional facilities. Civil rights have stepped in when

597
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 20: incarcerated women are subjected to abuse by.

598
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Those entrusted with their care.

599
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 20: No matter the setting a home, a school, a sports field,

600
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 20: or a prison, the DOJ's mission is unwavering to enforce

601
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 20: the law without fear or favor, and to hold accountable

602
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 20: those who seek to violate women's rights. During Women's History Month,

603
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 20: we celebrate the women who came before us, and we

604
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 20: recommit ourselves to the work that remains. The rule of

605
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 20: law must protect every woman's safety, opportunity, and equal standing

606
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 20: in our society.

607
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: And for Democrats, this isn't about protecting trans individuals. It's

608
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: all about the movement. You break down the societal norms,

609
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: you give out the perception that the majority of the

610
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: public feels this way when they clearly don't rationalize any

611
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: criticism you want against your political opponent, you can gain

612
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of power. And not only are these

613
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: rules that Minnesota is being sued over regarding allowing boys

614
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: to compete in girls' sports. Not only are is allowing

615
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: this to happen a detriment to the female athletes.

616
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 2: Because they're at a disadvantage.

617
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: It's also to the detriment of the individual who's identifying

618
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: as trands, especially for our younger generations and those brains

619
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: that aren't fully developed. It's like telling a child that's

620
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: okay to continue going into the cookie jar to eat

621
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: the cookies. There's not going to be any repercussions for

622
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: your actions. Probably not the greatest example, but you understand

623
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. When you get older and you're eighteen,

624
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: if you want to make this decision on your own,

625
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: your brains are developed.

626
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: We determine that via science. Okay, fine whatever.

627
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: You still are not and shouldn't be allowed to go

628
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: and trample on the right of other individuals just because

629
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: you're not getting your way. But for those under age,

630
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: it is a total disservice to give in.

631
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 11: To this.

632
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: Because for a lot of people it's just a phase

633
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: in their life. When we were going up in school

634
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: tomboys as an example, it didn't always mean that you

635
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: were trans. But the left has taken this like they

636
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: have so many other issues, and they've exploited it to

637
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: their advantage. And we'll certainly be keeping an eye on

638
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: where this lawsuit goes. All right, coming up, we'll talk

639
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the legislative session. We do

640
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: have samanti fraud bills that are moving through the Capitol,

641
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: even though there's time off for the spring break. We'll

642
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: give you an update on Minnesota's paid family medical leave.

643
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 1: It's not good by the way of fitting our future.

644
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: The seventh sentence was handed down yesterday and it also

645
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: wasn't good.

646
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: A lot of bad news today. It's really unfortunate. I'm sorry.

647
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I'll try to get to some fun stuff for the

648
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: end of the show. Also, we'll continue to take your

649
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: comments regarding the report that came out overnight, an extension

650
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: to the arrest on Friday Representative Walter Hudson armed intoxicated

651
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: with Elliott Ingen during a dui stop. Well, share some

652
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: more of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. Your talkback's

653

Speaker 1: brought to you by Lyndahl Reealty. Remember, if you're listening

00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: a thirty second message and those talkbacks are brought to

656
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: you by Lyndahl Realty.

657
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: Here on t Wednesday's News.

658
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 11: Talk Morning, John, you know my very first call into

659
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 11: this show was when there was the story about that

660
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 11: Sheriff Hutchinson, how he was driving so.

661
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 21: Clearly intoxicated in a government vehicle. Beside the point, you

662
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 21: are told when you get.

663
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 11: Your carry license, I was told.

664
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 21: This, you do not have your firearm on you. If

665
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 21: they routinely are having drinks while they're in session, do

666
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 21: not bring your gun with you.

667
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 11: Thanks, Hey, John.

668
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 22: I think a lot of folks are having trouble.

669
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 6: With and bringing a hammer down.

670
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 22: Heart of these guys is that elected officials there probably

671
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 22: should be some amount of separation between personal and professional life.

672
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 22: Maybe for all professionals. What these people do, the elect

673
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 22: officials do in their private life doesn't impact everyone in

674
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 22: the state as much as the policies they enact in

675
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 22: their professional.

676
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 23: Positions, except for the fact that the policies that they're

677
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 23: talking about often directly relate to enforcing the laws that

678
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 23: they went and broke that were avoidable.

679
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: And if there is drinking going on. And this is

680
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: separate from Walter and Elliott. I'm hearing about this generally speaking,

681
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: all right, not any specific individual. And I don't know

682
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: if that's the case for the people that we're talking

683
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: about this morning on the show. I'm just hearing from

684
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: multiple sources that drink during the legislative session in different

685
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: chambers is a common occurrence, and that when these bills

686
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: are brought forward and people have to come out and

687
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: read them in short periods of time, and then during

688
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: these committee meetings have to go and argue their points.

689
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: You're not exactly going to be able to do that

690
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: if you're intoxicated, and there is a level of your

691
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: private life that affects your professional life. If I go

692
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: and make invite just as an example, if I go

693
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: and make a stupid mistake like this, Okay, if I

694
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: get busted drinking and drinking and driving breaking laws like this,

695
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just let's add the same circumstances.

696
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: Maybe Monty's registration.

697
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: Has expired, maybe Monty's got a tail light out, and

698
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm drinking and driving. You don't think for a second

699
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: that my employer isn't going to be upset with me

700
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: and maybe.

701
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: Even want to take action.

702
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: Because my commentary now is in conflict with my behavior.

703
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: I have seen individuals in radio not here, but I

704
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: have seen individuals in radio who have lost their jobs

705
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: after getting a DUI because it's dangerous and irresponsible. So

706
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: there's a gray area here between this idea of private

707
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: and professional.

708
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 19: In my opinion, as far as I know, you can

709
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 19: be as drunk as you want as a passenger. I

710
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 19: don't know why we're talking about Walter Hudson. He took

711
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 19: a ride from a guy who said he could drive.

712
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 19: That guy lie a little bit. Maybe Walter didn't notice

713
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 19: him doing anything out of you ordinary thought he could

714
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 19: handle it.

715
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 2: I don't know why we're talking about Walter Hudson if

716
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: you're just arriving late to the show.

717
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: Because Walter can actually be facing a misdemeanor because he

718
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: was also intoxicated and carrying a firearm at the time,

719
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: and there was a open bottle in a car seat

720
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: that he said was his. That's why we're talking about

721
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: Walter Hudson in this too, just in case you are

722
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: late to the show and didn't hear all the details.

723
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 2: God calling it two things got BWI.

724
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop this one here just because the quality

725
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: of the audio isn't great. He simply made the point

726
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: that maybe if they would have been caught in Hennepin County,

727
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: Mary moriarty would have let them go.

728
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 15: I don't see that happening, just just saying I don't

729
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 15: see that happening.

730
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 17: You have somebody that's supposed to be advocating for two

731
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 17: A rights for us in the state, knowing that the

732
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 17: DFL is trying to take away our lawful right to

733
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 17: hold firearms, and you have somebody who's advocating for that

734
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 17: and abusing that privilege at the same time. This is

735
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 17: not bode well for us at all, and you should

736
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 17: be upset with these people. We have a standard, it

737
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 17: doesn't mean we deviate or match the standard of the DFL.

738
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: And when you're dealing with an opposition party that is

739
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: completely and totally irrational, you can't fight back effectively. I'm

740
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: looking at the some information regarding the No Brains protest.

741
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro has a fantastic piece up at the Daily Wire.

742
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: I want to just share with you an overview of

743
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: his thoughts. You know, you had these no Kings rallies protesting,

744
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: of course, a non existent king. A lot of this

745
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: was funded by a three billion dollar network linked to

746
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: a tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singman, and a summit in Jamaica,

747
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: of all places.

748
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: It sounds crazy, but it's not.

749
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: The rallies are believed to be orchestrated by a Hollywood

750
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: elites and radical activists. And yes, you have a grassroots

751
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: level of individuals that are coming out and getting involved

752
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: in these protests as well, But the funding is reportedly

753
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: channeled through various socialists and communist organizations, including those associated

754
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: with this individual Singman and his wife Jody Evans. And

755
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: it's all reported here in a Fox News report. A

756
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: network of about five hundred groups with an estimated third

757
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: a three billion and combined on annual revenues is behind

758
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: the coordinated No King's protest on Saturday. According to a

759
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: copy of the permit for the flagship of march in

760
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: Saint Paul, Minnesota, Indivisible, a national well heeled Democrat political

761
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: advocacy organization funded by billionaire George sorows Is the lead coordinator,

762
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: was the lead coordinator for the protest. But they also

763
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: identified at Fox News key participation by a network of

764
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: radical socialist communist organizations funded by nevill Roy Singman, an

765
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: American tech tycoon, and about communists living in China. So

766
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: you've got a commune in China funneling hundreds of millions

767
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: of dollars into various protest groups here in the United States.

768
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: Apparently Sigmund pushed some two hundred and seventy eight million

769
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: dollars into organizations to so discord in the US. None

770
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: of these protests are innocent and they're not happening by accident.

771
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: It takes an awful lot of money and to make

772
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: this happen. And this is what it takes to create

773
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: a MAGA alternative, and this is what they were attempting

774
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: to do. A part of what you saw over the

775
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: weekend was the left needing to answer to the needing

776
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: an answer to the MAGA label.

777
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: You know, MAGA.

778
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: Proudly pushes its policies, the policies that we support, what

779
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: we believe in in terms of the rule of law.

780
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: No kings is simply the anti MAGA while not addressing

781
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: the policies. And you have individuals that are due to

782
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: fully willing to go and follow along with this. And

783
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: this is why I get frustrated, because you're dealing with

784
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: the irrational. And if you aren't using common sense and

785
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: being irrational and not following the rules that you perceive

786
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: to go and support, then it doesn't really leave us

787
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: a lot of places, does it. Like this is what

788
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: we're up against and why you can't be stupid on

789
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: the right. Have a few more audio clips from Saturday.

790
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: Here's a group of leftist protesters. All of them were

791
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: dressed ridiculously as clowns calling.

792
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: You know, at the No King's rally. Listen to what

793
00:44:59,000 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 2: they had to.

794
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 14: There isn't really anything that's done by this. We are

795
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 14: clowns at the circus, led by.

796
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 10: Police people to lead you and guide you, like, hows

797
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 10: what are we protesting?

798
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 2: What are we riding or not?

799
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 6: Nothing's getting done?

800
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 24: And you guys said, this is not your first note

801
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 24: King's protest. Talk to me a little bit about what

802
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 24: inspires you to come out here. What are some things

803
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 24: that you guys want to see change?

804
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 25: Well, a lot of what we see is, you know,

805
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 25: the same thing year after year, month after month. You

806
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 25: get an organized protest maybe a month from now, you

807
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 25: can only march in a block around the city. This

808
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 25: is a police escort. You know, this is all very structured,

809
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 25: very organized. We're doing things the right way, the way

810
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 25: God intended, you know, Like it's just like, do you

811
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 25: see any sort of efficacy from what you're saying? Do

812
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 25: you feel like a clown when you're walking through these streets,

813
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 25: because I sure do.

814
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 24: You was there anything you wanted to add on it?

815
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 24: Because I know we spoke with you as we just want.

816
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 10: To make sure No, I mean, I agree, what use

817
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 10: is it walking around first ward every other we scheduled us,

818
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 10: what three months out? What's happened in the past three months?

819
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: Think about it.

820
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: In the meantime, you have this guy who went viral

821
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: at the protests on Saturday wearing bright red lipstick. And

822
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: here's his explanation as to why, Hello, it's the Master.

823
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 5: The reason I have red lipstick honestly because I'm a

824
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 5: good demonstration in Traverse.

825
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: City, the thousands of US and red lipstick.

826
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 5: I was in blood last night by my friend Jen

827
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 5: with a form of resistance. When Hitler was trying to

828
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 5: take over the world, he didn't like women wearing red lipstick.

829
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 5: So I've decided red lipstick. Everybody put on red lipstick

830
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 5: to show resistance against you know who, be kind to yourself,

831
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 5: be kind others, over and dollar.

832
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: I can't help but think that perhaps whoever the friend

833
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: of this individual was may have been trolling the him

834
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe that is true regarding Hitler.

835
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, but just saying there's a
