1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: John Justice, Twin Cities News Fantastic talk radio host. Thanks Laura,

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, and welcome to the show. My name is

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: John Justice here on Twin Cities News Talk and the

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: master control booth next door to my right is Devin.

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: We have got a lot to talk about today. We

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: have another No King's rally coming up. According to the

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: local media outlets, it is a star studded cast of

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: characters that will be attending the next No King's rally,

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: which is expecting record numbers. The Star Tribune goes all

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: in on the leftist propaganda relating to Operation Metro Surge.

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you details on that. All the thievery of

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: catalytic convergers is back as the snow melts quickly. By

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the way, Holy cow, Like when I got home yesterday,

14
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: the streets in my neighborhood were still like I was

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: driving off road. I left today like there wasn't any ice,

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: autom or snow whatsoever. It was so nice. So we'll

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: get into that in the eight o'clock hour. Also at

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: eight o'clock, gubernatorial candidate Lisa Damuth, she will be joining us,

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: will talk about Governor Tim Walls is saying that you know,

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: the GOP doesn't care about affordability. It's a bad word

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: to them, even though they put forward a bunch of

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: affordability plans. So also curiosity around the fact that allegedly

23
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: the federal government has registered the domain name aliens dot gov.

24
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it could be a project Hail Mary tie in.

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: That's just me. So we'll dive into that later on

26
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: in the hour. Let's start here with the latest on

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury, the son of the Ayatola Kamane, who

28
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: was killed in that targeted Israeli strike back on February

29
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, also linked to what officials have described as

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: a misfunctioning doing nothing with my fingers regime. Ooh, I

31
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: like that word. It's so applicable to so many things

32
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: related to Minnesota misfunctioning. The new leader, they say, is

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: an empty entity. Kobe Michael, a defense analyst with the

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: Institute for National Security Studies, says Motama Kamani does not

35
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: appear in public, but we also have reliable information that

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: he does not control or lead the regime or what

37
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: has been left of the regime. The current Iranian leadership

38
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: is broken, confused, and is almost misfunctioning, Motaba reportedly escapes

39
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: being completely unalived by minutes when his father was killed,

40
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: leaving the compound back on the twenty eighth of February

41
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: for a walk, shortly before the Israeli missiles strike, according

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: to details about the strikes that also took out several

43
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: members of the Kamani family. Since being named the Supreme Leader,

44
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: Motaba has not made a public appearance, apart from cardboard

45
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: cutouts with a picture of his face affixed to the top. Instead,

46
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: a message by him was read on Iranian state TV

47
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: warning of continued strikes and urging Gulf nations to shut

48
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: down US basis. So President Donald Trump, since the opening

49
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: of the US Israeli strikes, has told the Iranian people

50
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: that their moment of freedom was at hand, and when

51
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: we are finished take over your government, it will be

52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: yours to take. And that's the big question right now,

53
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: is that with everything that's happened with Operation Epic Fury,

54
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: and every single time they go on a point a

55
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: new individual to take over at the top, that person

56
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: seems to be killed or isn't making a public appearance.

57
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: As we were talking about here. This is all to

58
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: provide an opportunity for the Iranian citizens to step up

59
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: and take over their country, which hasn't happened yet, and

60
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the question is will they There's obviously a lot of

61
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: concern because the Iranian people are not allowed to go

62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: and defend themselves. There is still a while misfunctioning regime

63
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: in place, and so the concern is after the uprising

64
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: that took place prior to the operation starting, where you

65
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: had thousands upon thousands taken to the streets and you

66
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: had thousands that were murdered by their own government, there's

67
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: a hesitancy, a reluctancy for the Iranian people to step

68
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: up and do what's necessary to take over their country.

69
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: It might be, and many of the analysts are saying

70
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: that it might be that the citizens are simply waiting

71
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: until there is a firm closure to the operation, or

72
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: at least the anticipation of the operation ending, and then

73
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: they can go and make their move. So we will

74
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: continue to report and bring you the updates as they

75
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: hold their press conferences at the White House here on

76
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: the show. So I want to spend some time this

77
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: hour getting into this. There is a fairly major news

78
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: story and it's impacting Minnesota. A Democrat led cities all

79
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: across the country, including the station that I worked at

80
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: in southern Arizona for almost a decade. Now, before I

81
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: get to the details of this, because while there is

82
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: reporting on this particular story, it's widely being ignored, and

83
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: it's widely being ignored for a very specific reason that

84
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: will not come as a shock to anybody. But I

85
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: want to back up a little bit further later on

86
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: this hour, there's a fantastic piece from Center of the

87
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: American Experiment that I touched upon earlier this week, did

88
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: not get the opportunity to get into the details of

89
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: talking about how Governor Tim Walls has for years been

90
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: priming the children in the state prior to their reaching

91
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: voting a to leave the schools as activists. I want

92
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: to share with you some details of this piece, but

93
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: I want to draw upon my own personal experience because

94
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: I've thought for a while now that someone, and I've

95
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: even considered doing this myself, someone needs to pen a book,

96
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: needs to write a nonfiction book that details how the

97
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: current infection of critical race theory in our public schools

98
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: was born from the seeds of Marxism that were planted

99
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: in the early aughts starting in the Southwest. I watched

100
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: critical race theory, this Marxist teaching. I watched the beginnings

101
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: of this in Southwest, in the Southwest in Tucson, Arizona.

102
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: So I was there starting in late in two thousand

103
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: and seven again for almost a decade. And I want

104
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: to kick off this conversation with the story from twenty

105
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: nineteen that relates directly to this big story that's impacting

106
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: states across the country right now, but again it's widely

107
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: missing from the headlines of most major news outlets. So

108
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: follow me as we embark on a bit of this journey.

109
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: You'll understand what I'm doing here in just a moment

110
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: on Twin Cities News Talk, because I want to tell

111
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: you the story of how there was a statue going

112
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen of Caesar Javez as it was

113
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: nearing completion. And this story, in light of the recent

114
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: revelations and allegations regarding the history of Caesar Javez that

115
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: again has democrats and cities across the country mulling what

116
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: it is they are going to do now as they

117
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: have celebrated this individual as an icon of civil rights.

118
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: So we'll get into the details of this coming up.

119
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you throughout the show this morning.

120
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: The new phone number here on Twin City's News Talk

121
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: is eight four four nine four six five eight five five.

122
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: You can also email Justice at iHeartRadio dot com and

123
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, we'll get to

124
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: your talkbacks as well. Those are brought to you by

125
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Lyndahl Realty here on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven

126
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: thirty and one oh three five FM. Good morning, and

127
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: I love your show.

128
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: Is it incredible to think that other countries are fighting

129
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: so hard to have what America has freedom, individualism, and

130
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: now under Democrat control, the Democrat Party is trying to

131
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: throw this country into chaos, into slavery, into one way

132
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: of thinking, Marxism and communism.

133
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: Why is it? What isn't it?

134
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: For Democrats?

135
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: That's the big question. It's an easy question to answer,

136
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: at least in a short period of time, given the

137
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: fact that I have limited time here on Twin Cities

138
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: News Talk. It's about power. This is how the Democrats

139
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: have decided that they are going to continue to attempt

140
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: to attain, to gain, to achieve power, and retain that power.

141
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: Now they've been co opted by the radical element of

142
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: their party. But it doesn't I mean, it's kind of irrelevant.

143
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: This is where we are. So got a lot of

144
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: comments that have rolled into the iHeartRadio app. I'll get

145
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: to them in just a second, but let me let

146
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: me start here. We're going to go back in time

147
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen. I'm gonna share with you some details

148
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: of the story out of a Southern Arizona news outlet,

149
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Tucson Sentinel. This is written by an individual, Ernesto Portillo Junior.

150
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: A lot of these names are are people that in

151
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: the in the course of the nine years when I

152
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: was in Southern Arizona. These individuals would be the equivalent of, say,

153
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Rochelle Olsen or Karen tolkeenan with the Star Tribune. You

154
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: know your DFL shills in the Minnesota Reformer, j Patrick Coolikan,

155
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: individuals like that. This is who is nicknamed Nito is

156
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: for Southern Arizona. He writes this in the Tucson Sentinel

157
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen. In the front room of an

158
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: art studio Luis Gustavo Menya's Barrio Anita house stands a

159
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: statue a work in progress a six foot tall figure

160
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: a man with slight indigenous facial features. His right arm

161
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: extends outward holding two clusters of grapes. His left arm

162
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: wraps behind a banner bordered with thick fringe of the

163
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Virgin ape. The man's shirt and banner appear to be

164
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: buffeted by wind, but he, with hopeful eyes looking toward

165
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: the heavens, appears determined to move forward. Writes Nito. The

166
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: statue is of Caesar E. Chavez, a leading figure and

167
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: environmental and worker's rights in icon in the Chicano political movement,

168
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: and the co founder of the United farm Workers' Union.

169
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: And if all works out again this is back in

170
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. The statue will be erected near downtown and

171
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: it was making it the first in Tucson to honor Chavez,

172
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: who died twenty six years ago. At the time of

173
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: the writing of this article in San Luis, Arizona. Menya said,

174
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: my objective is to bring out his spirituality. Menya is

175
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: a Tucson native who has credited several other public scultures

176
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: and murals around Tucson. I wanted to take it to

177
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: another level, he says. The still Clay statue which has

178
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: yet to be modeled in bronze, would be erected at

179
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: the five Points at intersection where South Stone and South

180
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: Sixth Avenues meet to eighteenth Street. The statue will be

181
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: placed on a six foot tall base facing south, on

182
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: the spot where the old, ugly but honest sign of

183
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: the Wansley Auto Sales currently stands. Although Javez was not

184
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: six feet tall, Menu said he made the statue taller

185
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: so we could stand out. In addition to the Javez statue,

186
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: five steel arches which carry the names of the neighborhoods

187
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: and five Points. These will span the streets leading to

188
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: the intersection. Ten panels reflecting the local folklore and people

189
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: will also be erected on top of that. So this

190
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: is how it all started in the wake of Caesar

191
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Javez is passing right, and how he's been eulogized ever

192
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: since then? As this immigrant to workers writs Icon, How's

193
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: it going wail from the Daily Wire. A shocking report

194
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: out of The New York Times revealed Wednesday that labor

195
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: union hero Caesar Chavez allegedly sexually abused multiple young girls

196
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: and women prior to his death in nineteen ninety three.

197
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh listen the details are horrific. Multiple women have accused Javez,

198
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: who founded and led, as I mentioned, the United farm

199
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: Workers Labor Union, of assault, harassment, and rape dating back

200
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: to nineteen sixty. We're talking sexually abusing girls who were

201
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: thirteen and twelve years old. The previously unpublished allegations were

202
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: corroborated by the Times investigation, which was based on more

203
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: than sixty interviews with Javez's top aides, relatives, and former

204
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: UfW members. You also had hundreds of pages of union records, reviewed,

205
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: confidential emails, photogra and audio recordings of UfW board meetings. Again,

206
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: for the sake of the hour being right around six

207
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: thirty and early, I'm going to not get into the

208
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: details of what actually took place, but they're horrific with

209
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen years old in the way that he

210
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: lured these young girls in and took advantage of them,

211
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: and some of these young girls. As a matter of fact,

212
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: I'll give you one of the quotes of on A Merguilla,

213
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: now sixty six years old. She along with Deborah Rojas,

214
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: with the two women in the Times report. More Merguilla

215
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: recalled the Javez calling her to her room at age thirteen,

216
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: and she did go to the room enthusiastically, the story says,

217
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: describing the union leader as a hero to her at

218
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: that young age, to which he then locked the door

219
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: and assaulted her. Several other women have also accused Javes

220
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: of sexual abuse, including the long time confidante and fellow

221
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: UfW co founder Dolores Huerta, who's now ninety five years old.

222
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: She accused Javz of raping her in nineteen sixty six

223
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: in a vehicle of an earlier coerce to sexual encounter

224
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: during a work trip in nineteen sixty She says two

225
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: children have resulted in these encounters. The Times investigation concluded

226
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: that Javes fathered at least four children with three women

227
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: outside his marriage, based off of twenty three and ME

228
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: test results. Now, as I mentioned, Javez has been an

229
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: icon for the left for decades in California and here,

230
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: and we'll get into this in just a moment. Here

231
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, in the Twin Cities, you've had multiple means

232
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: of praising this individual as the icon he was exalted

233
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: for in terms of immigrant rights by the left. You

234
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: have democrats now scrambling to condemn Javez. California Governor Gavin Newsom,

235
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: who previously said the photo of the Union leader is

236
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: the first photo that he would wake up to, said,

237
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: it's been hard to absorb this. So many of us

238
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: are and have been for decades and decades and decades,

239
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: and none of us knew. And this is all boloni,

240
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: because here's the truth. Chavez wasn't just an alleged child abuser.

241
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: He was also antithetical to the ideologies of the open

242
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: border radicals who have been eulogizing him to their advantage

243
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: for decades. I'll give you the examples of this. I

244
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: found an interesting report going back to twenty fourteen talking

245
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: about Chavez, the UfW and the blank problem. When I

246
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: say blank, I'm talking about an incredibly derogatory term used

247
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: for illegal immigrants involving water that I will not repeat

248
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: on the show. But the truth of the matter is Chavez,

249
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, has been a bad dude that

250
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: let's us known about it forever, and they simply didn't care.

251
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: It took these horrible allegations, revelations really to come to light,

252
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: to actually bring about finally some clarity and truth to

253
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: an individual that again the Left has been exalting now

254
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: for decades, and in light of these serious claims, local

255
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: officials around the country and right here in the Twin Cities,

256
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm now deciding what they want to do for the

257
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: streets that have been named the events all dedicated to Javez.

258
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you more details on this, and then we're

259
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: going to dovetail off this story and get into because

260
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: it all relates how for years Walls has been priming

261
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: students to become activists, and now with this ethnic studies

262
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: program having fully infected our public education system just like

263
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: it has in other Democrat led states around the country,

264
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: we've already seen the results of this play out on

265
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: the streets of Minneapolis with the on the street insurrectionist agitators.

266
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: And we'll see these individuals again if and when those

267
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: TPSS visas finally expire and those individuals are deported. And

268
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: also this upcoming No Kings Rally two point zero that'll

269
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: be taking place at the end of the month. I'll

270
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: give you all the details. We'll get to your comments

271
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: as well from the iHeartRadio app here on Twinsday's news

272
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.

273
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: Good morning, and I love your show. A shocking report

274
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: from the New York Times revealed Wednesday the labor Union

275
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: hero Caesar Javez allegedly sexually abused multiple young girls and

276
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: women prior to his death in nineteen ninety three. It's

277
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: Twin Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh

278
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: three five FM. My name is John Justice Platterer with

279
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: the show this morning. But the reality is, though this

280
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: was an individual that should have never been hailed as

281
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: the icon that he was hailed as. These allegations of

282
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: sexual abuse of minors, they've been around for a long

283
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: long time. I mean, you took this report by the

284
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: New York Times to finally bring this to a head

285
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: in the wake of his passing, now for many years.

286
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: But even before you get to those allegations of sexual abuse,

287
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: what Caesar chaf has stood for is completely counter to

288
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats' current narratives and the open border crowd and

289
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: what they believe. And thank you to at t M

290
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: N boo Yah. I'm assuming that's how he wants me

291
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: to say it. It's m m bouyah, But you're just

292
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna m N boo yah gotta think at Mmbuja who

293
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: posted that this was prominently displayed in the Oval office

294
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, and it's a bust of Caesar Javez.

295
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: There's an article that I have here from twenty fourteen

296
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: written by Eladio Babadilla Chavez, the UfW and the blank

297
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: blank problem again a derogatory term for those coming into

298
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: the country illegally involving water that I will not repeat

299
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: on the show. In it, he writes, Caesar Javez and

300
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: the United farm Workers were historically hostile toward undocumented immigrants,

301
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: whom they blamed for driving down wages and undermining strikes.

302
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: The stance alienated potential allies and contributed to the union's downfall. Today.

303
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: While the UfW supports immigration reform, it's passed actions have

304
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: left a lasting negative impact on the relationship of undocumented workers.

305
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: Written by an individual who is more sympathetic to the

306
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: situation of illegals coming into the country, but basically laying

307
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: out that Caesar Chavez may have been a champion for

308
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: immigrant rights in the United States, but he was incredibly

309
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: hostile towards individuals who came into the country illegally. To hear,

310
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: UfW leaders and their rhetoric on illegal immigration and the

311
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: plight of undocumented people, and then to study its trajectory

312
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: and its previous stance on the issue is truly revealing,

313
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: the article says, and disheartening. Today. The union's leader leaders

314
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: call themselves longtime champions of immigration reform, yet their historical record, however,

315
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: reveals an uglier, a more complicated story. Caesar Chavez was

316
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: in fact, deeply hostile toward again that derogatory slang for

317
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, as he and many others of his time

318
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: called them. He was relentless in his efforts to halt

319
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: immigration from Mexico and was active in pursuing the deportation

320
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: of those already here. Sounds like he would have been

321
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: a fan of Operation Metro Search. When all of a sudden,

322
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: Javez claimed that undocumented workers were driving down wages and

323
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: crucially being used as strike breakers. Both complaints had meritive course.

324
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: Mexican immigrants were routinely used to break strikes. Their desperate

325
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: situation often led them to take whatever work they could get,

326
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: and even if it meant to clashing with the UFW's goals.

327
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: The piece goes on to say, what's disturbing about Javez

328
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: and the Union's actions is how rigid and unwilling they

329
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: were to consider that the issue was more complicated. Some

330
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: organizations and leaders complained that Javez was spending entirely too

331
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: much of his and the Union's efforts on illegals campaigning.

332
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: Others still worried that Javez was making enemies of people

333
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: who in fact were allies in this class and social struggle.

334
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: And yet the left used this individual as an icon

335
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: not just for immigrant workers' rights, but also for useing

336
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: him as a means to defend those that came into

337
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: the country illegally, even though he was adamantly against that.

338
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: So this guy was a false icon elevated by the

339
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: left for decades, and only now, in the wake of

340
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: these horrific revelations regarding his alleged abuse of children, are

341
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: they finally disassociating themselves with him. What I'll be curious

342
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: to see is if those who held the Javez in

343
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: such high regard will now speak truthfully about how divisive

344
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: he was on the left now that these revelations have

345
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: come to light here in the Twin Cities. From the

346
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: Start Tribune this morning as a sidebar story. In light

347
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: of the serious claims, local officials around the country are

348
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: rethinking local names and events dedicated to Javez. Oh, and

349
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: trust me, the point isn't lost about how the Left

350
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: went all in during the Biden years of tearing down

351
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: statues of individuals who they believed had checkered pasts. The

352
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: Board of Directors and school directors of Academia Caesar Chavez,

353
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: which operates elementary and middle school programs at its East

354
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: Side Saint Paul's school, called the abuse allegations deeply troubling

355
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: in a statement yesterday afternoon. While school leaders said they

356
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: recognized that this news may be painful and difficult for

357
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: members of our community, the school stopped short of announcing

358
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: any immediate action, even though his name is attached to it.

359
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: That's unfortunate. Academia Caesar Chavez was founded Back in twenty

360
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, both Academia Caesar Chavez and the l

361
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Collegio High School in Minneapolis merged into one district called

362
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: Academias Lapase. The district's name was inspired by Lapause in Keene, California,

363
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: where Chavez spent his last year's and the home of

364
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: the National Chavez Center and the Caesar E. Chavez National Monument.

365
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh boy, they're gonna it's gonna be a lot of money,

366
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: a lot of bids going in to change all this stuff.

367
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: Chavez Avenue is also a major thoroughfare in Saint Paul's Westside,

368
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: the heart of the city's long standing Latino community. City

369
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: leaders are said to be digesting. That's a new one.

370
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: They're digesting. They are digesting the revelations about Javez. But

371
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: Saint Paul does have a process to change street names

372
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: with a city council vote. You know, at this point

373
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: in time, we need to stop just naming schools for anybody.

374
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: We need to stop naming streets for anybody, and just

375
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: come up with new, just generic terms, just just just

376
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: a wholesale change to avoid having to change anything later

377
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: in the in the future. Hi, John Dan from Texas. Hey,

378
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: does this mean that they're going to take his name

379
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: off of the road they have named after him? I'm

380
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: just curious. Well, that's what we're waiting to see. Across

381
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: the country. Other officials have also taken action. Governors in

382
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: Texas and Arizona said they would not officially observe Caesar

383
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: Chaves Day this year. According to the AP, local leaders

384
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee and Portland, Oregon, are looking at renaming streets

385
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: after him. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls has in past years

386
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: issued a proclamation of Head of Caesar Chaves Day, which

387
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: has been recognized as a state statute since twenty fourteen, because,

388
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: of course it has, though such a move as ceremonial

389
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: and not required by law. Walls's office didn't comment on

390
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: Wednesday evening. Of course they didn't. A spokesperson for the

391
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: city of Minneapolis also did not respond to a request

392
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: for comment about the fate of Caesar Chavez Avenue, which

393
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: runs for just for just a block through the Minneapolis

394
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: Farmers Market. Well, you know, I anticipate that there'll be

395
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: plenty of activists that'll be taking to the streets to

396
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: go and tear down anything relating to see as their

397
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: job has now in light of these horrible allegations. Right,

398
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm not encouraging people to do so, but I imagine

399
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: they'll be spray painting over those signs. This is me

400
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: here in the studio, going from standing up to sitting down,

401
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: not holding my breath. All right, let's go here. Governor

402
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: Tim Walls urged protesters on exhorting Minnesotans to resistant document

403
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: atrocities as the mayhem escalated during Operation Metro surge. He

404
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: of course declared himself incredibly proud of the way that

405
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: you've risen to meet this unbearable moment. At the top

406
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: of the hour, the Star Tribuwed has a lengthy expose

407
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: a wherein they attempt to fact check the federal claims

408
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: made during Operation Metro Search. I'm going to get into

409
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: this coming up as a bit of a preview as

410
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: we dive into this story from Americanexperiment dot org. It

411
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: is pure propaganda what the Star Tribune put out on

412
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: their front page yesterday. In this lengthy expose, we checked

413
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: the accuracy of dozens of federal claims made during Operation

414
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Metro Search. It is merely an extension and I'll share

415
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: with you the example. It is merely an extension of

416
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: the misinformation and lies being spread by the Democrat leadership

417
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: here in the state of Minnesota. It lacks and continues

418
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: to lack the context related to all of these different

419
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: series of events that they say they're bringing clarity to

420
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: in fact to checking a part of that is what

421
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning right now in the story from center the

422
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: American Experiment, just how the leadership encourage it's to so

423
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: many individuals to take to the streets. Now you had

424
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Mambab may Or Mom Jeans, Jacob Fry, and Governor

425
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: Tim Walls. They parsed their words as to avoid criticism

426
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: of saying that they were encouraging people to act in

427
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: an illegal way, because you have people like Peggy Flanagan

428
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: who didn't do that, who literally said put your bodies

429
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: on the line. Now, getting back to this piece, the

430
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: media coverage missed a bigger and more disturbing and far

431
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: reaching story, and that is for years Walls has made

432
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: entrenching the resistance mindset in Minnesota's next generation a top priority.

433
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: And this goes back to what I was talking about

434
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: with Caesar Chavez. Because having worked in Tucson, Arizona, in

435
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: the Southwest, I can tell you these allegations were going

436
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: around for a long long time. And the same individuals

437
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: that were propping up Caesar Javez as an icon, a

438
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: darling of the open border crowd, even though again he

439
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: was against illegal immigrants, are the same individuals who were

440
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: pushing critical race theory, this Marxism teaching into our public

441
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: education system. We have some talkbacks we'll get to because

442
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: there's obviously a much larger history attached to Marxism in

443
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: and of itself. It didn't just start in southern Arizona

444
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: going back to the early oughts, right, it started a long,

445
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: long time ago. As a matter of fact, let's hear

446
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: from a day before we get further into this piece

447
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: from American Experiment.

448
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: Hey, John Dave from clear Lake out taking a walk

449
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: listening to you this morning. You want to really trace

450
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: the roots of CRCHI back, You've got to go all

451
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: the way Pre World War Two, Grupos Collars came over

452
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: from Germany, either the University of Chicago or Columbia realized

453
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: that the economic Marxism was not going to work, and

454
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: so they birthed the cancer of social Marxism became CRT

455
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: and all of the other critical theories.

456
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct, And what is now in our grade

457
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: level education public education system had existed within the university

458
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: system for a while and obviously went back much further

459
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: than that, the baseline writings of Paulo Ferrari and Pedagogy

460
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: of the Oppress. I mean that goes back decades upon decades. No,

461
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about the scenes of Marxism plant in

462
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: southern Arizona, I'm talking specifically about your high school grade level,

463
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: wherein the activist organizations who were based out of that

464
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: region in America, of which I was broadcasting from for

465
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: for nine years. I saw how this course, this mentality,

466
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: this ideology, these teachings started as electives within public education

467
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: and within nineteen years, I mean really almost to the

468
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: day of you hearing my voice now, it is now

469
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: a fabric of our public education system across the country

470
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: and democrat led states, and right here in Minnesota, I

471
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: watched where this all started in our high school and

472
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: grade level in southern Arizona at the time. Getting back

473
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: to the American experiment piece starting in the follow twenty

474
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: twenty six the extremist ideology that undergirds it will be embedded.

475
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: I say, I was just mentioning in every grade and

476
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: subject in our state's roughly five hundred public school districts

477
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: and charter schools via academic standard statute and teacher licensing training.

478
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: They passed a law in Arizona which eventually ended up

479
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: tragically falling by the wayside to try to stop this

480
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: because it was being labeled as an anti American course

481
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: and curriculum and should not have been anywhere near public

482
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: education and yet again, flash forward less than twenty years later,

483
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: almost twenty years later, two decades and now here in Minnesota,

484
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: and another Democrat led states. It is a fabric of

485
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: our education system, the vehicle being Minnesota's Department of Education,

486
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: the comprehensive K through twelve Liberated with my fingers Ethnic

487
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: Studies regime. This extremist pedagogy teaches that America is racist

488
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: and oppressive, and portray's opposition as a moral imperative. A

489
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: new K through twelve Ethnic study standard, titled Resistance, requires

490
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: students to organize with others to engage in resistance to

491
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: our nation's fundamental institutions. The Walls administration and its legislative

492
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: allies knowingly chose committed political activists to design and direct

493
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: the new Ethnic Studies regime, and now these activists are

494
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: among those organizing our state's young people to engage in

495
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: resistance in Minneapolis and Saint Paul Streets. The article goes

496
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: on to lay out the different groups that are involved

497
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: in writing this curriculum, in promoting this curriculum within our

498
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: public education system. One example here Unidose Minnesota that got

499
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: it start in southern Arizona. I used to talk about

500
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: unidose going back to two thousand and eight twenty nine

501
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: to twenty ten, and Unidose trains young people in the

502
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: in community organizing. They're now promoting student walkouts organizing guides

503
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: with its news conference and co sponsors the activist Sunrise Movement.

504
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: The Sunrise Movement and their Rise Up Guide, for example,

505
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: exhorts students to engage in monthly disruptions of the learning

506
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: environment and mass non cooperation. Students, it asserts, have always

507
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: been key to bringing down dictators, and the strengths are

508
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: vital to bring massive corporations to its knees. The long

509
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: term goal, according to the guide, declares is far aren't

510
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: larger than blocking immigration enforcement. It is to prove our

511
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: powers so we could pick bigger fights, they write. Next

512
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: up was May Day twenty twenty six, when organizers planned

513
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: to muster millions of students in America's streets to disrupt

514
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: it through mass non cooperation to halt the authoritarian's advance.

515
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: The piece goes on to further layout how in the

516
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: fall of twenty twenty six, Minnesota students will begin hearing

517
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: the Call to Resistance in public school classrooms starting in kindergarten.

518
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: The Walls administration turned to the University of Arizona's Center

519
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: for Race, Ingenetity, Disability, Gender and Sexuality Studies or RIDGES

520
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: to write the new taxpayer fundic K through twelve ethnic

521
00:35:53,200 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: study lesson plans, which are also having information embedded in

522
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: them from those activist organizations that I was just mentioning.

523
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: Residents of other states may not be particularly alarmed by

524
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: the Walls administration's campaign to radicalize our public schools. They

525
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: may be tempted to roll their eyes and say, I'm

526
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: glad I don't live in Minnesota, but students in Los Angeles, Florida, Tennessee,

527
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: and elsewhere have followed Minnesota students lead in walking out

528
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: of school stage protests. The activist movement that A. Walls

529
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: has unleashed on our state has national ambitions. Its adherents

530
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: intend to disrupt education, make student defiance a legitimate authority,

531
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: authority the norm, and exploit the vulnerable, easily manipulated young

532
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: people to advance their own political agenda. So I've kept

533
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: and Devin could attest to this, I've kept articles going

534
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine.

535
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: You can tell how wartorn they are. I've kept these

536
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: articles for the very reason that I can go and

537
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: reference them times like now, since critical race theory is

538
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: being implemented within our own public education system. You go

539
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight, I'm looking at the

540
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: Arizona Daily Star article tusd's ROSA units this Tucson Unified

541
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: School District survives under fire. This was at the heart

542
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: of when this debate was raging, before this had spread

543
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: across the country like a cancer. See back then, they

544
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: called it Roza studies. But see, unfortunately that was leaning

545
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: too heavily into what this actually was. So that's why

546
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: they ended up changing it to ethnic studies, because that

547
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: makes it easily more manipulative to go and push back

548
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: against somebody who doesn't like these courses as being racist. Well,

549
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: you just don't want kids to learn their heritage. But

550
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: within this article it lays out exactly what the American

551
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Experiment dot Org piece was talking about. You had the

552
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: director of the program, Augustine Romero, again going back to

553
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. In his view, the system already

554
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: divides students by ethnicity. He says, when he was a

555
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: senior or junior highs at Tucson High School, his father

556
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: asked U school counselors to make military recruiters stop calling.

557
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: His counselor couldn't believe Romero planned to go to college.

558
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: He proved his counselor wrong, and the forty one year

559
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: old got his doctorate. Romero summons the work of the

560
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: Brazilian educationalist Paulo Fieri. As I mentioned to explain the

561
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: premise of the program, this was the inception of critical

562
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: race theory at the time. Hauling out a dog eared

563
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: and extensively highlight a copy of Pedagogy of the Oppressed,

564
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: he points to a passage. This, then, is the great

565
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: humanistic and historical task of the oppressed to liberate themselves

566
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: and their oppressors as well. If people don't like being

567
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: called oppressors, Romero offers no apology to be able to

568
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: be honest. If we have a cancer, should we not

569
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: name the cancer and overcome it? If oppression and subordination

570
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: are our cancers, should we not name them? He goes

571
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: on to say anglows often don't see racism, he says,

572
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: so it needs to be pointed out. Even though this

573
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: has led to accusations that he propagates reverse racism. When

574
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: you name racism. People think you're playing the race card,

575
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: and then they say, you don't like me because I'm white,

576
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: And he says, no, I don't like what was said

577
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: because I'm the one who names things. Some have the

578
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: procession that I'm a racist and that I only care

579
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: about children of color. Those children clearly need advocates, Romero says,

580
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: and he gets into all the typical catchphrases, the disparities

581
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: between white minority students in his district. Again, it's all

582
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: about the victimization. And this goes back nineteen years to

583
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: a program that was being fought at the state level

584
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: because it was anti American. And now we find it

585
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: in bed within our own Minnesota education system and the

586
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 1: education system in other Democrat led states. And you see

587
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: the direct results now twenty years later, of what these

588
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: courses and what this ideology has wrought on the streets

589
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis over the course of the past couple of

590
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: months during Operation Metrosurgeon. Why so many individuals were so

591
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: willing to go and break the law because they've been

592
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: brainwashed by this ideology. It's also partly the reason why

593
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Wallson the left won't allow these tax credits

594
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: to take hold. I'll get to details on that and

595
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: your talkback's coming up on Twin Cities News Talk
