1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: Hey, John, I'm happy Monday. The greatest thing about being 2 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: an American is we all have individual choices. 3 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 2: It's quite simple. 4 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: If you don't want to get a first prayed to 5 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: your gas, last bomb, or God for a big shot, 6 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: then make the right choice stay home. 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 3: That's a part of this whole thing that I've been 8 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 3: We're really trying to understand the choices that people make, 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 3: the things that they end up believing, and why it 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 3: doesn't matter at the end of the day. Everybody is 11 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: going to have their own beliefs and they're going to 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: make their own choices. And it's repetitive, but it's true. 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: But I personally am curious what is you know, what's 14 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 3: the driving factor behind individuals like the people that we 15 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: saw on Friday taking to the streets. And really it 16 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: comes down to what I was talking about with Andrew 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 3: Langer here on Twin City's News Talk. My name is 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: John Justice Amson the Master Control booth this morning, and 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: that is after over a decade's worth of the same 20 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: commentary surrounding Donald Trump over and over and over again. 21 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 4: Individuals are so. 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: Willing and susceptible to just buy into what's taking place 23 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: right now. Being ice is the Gestapo, an extension of 24 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: Trump and his authoritarian rule, and this is just a 25 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: precursor to what we can expect later. There's no desire 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,639 Speaker 3: to look deeper, there's no desire to look at the truth. 27 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 3: And also, as I was talking about with Andrew Langer, 28 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: I touched upon it briefly, but the Greenland controversy is 29 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: a really good example of that on a much more 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: benign level. I had some friends reaching out, you know, 31 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: and often I have people reach out and go, can 32 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: you give me like the five minute version on Greenland? 33 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: And at the time, I was like, you know what, 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: I'm not the person to talk about Greenland because I'm 35 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: not up to speed on everything that's that's happening with it. 36 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 3: There was a lot of stuff that was breaking late 37 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: when it came to Trump and his visit to the 38 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: to Davos for the Freedom for the Freedom Summit. But 39 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 3: I ended up educating myself. I went down that rabbit hole, 40 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: and what I discovered was this was an incredibly complicated, 41 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: well thought out idea with a lot of historical merit 42 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: behind it, to go and attempt to grab Greenland, not 43 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 3: because of its resources, but because of the growing geopolitical 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: hostilities from our advis what the future looks like. This 45 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: wasn't just some as I said to Andrew, egotistical move 46 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: by Trump. This was a very strategic, thoughtful, well educated 47 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: decision to benefit the United States of America long into 48 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: the future, to strategically go and secure Greenland. But of 49 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: course that's not what you hear on the left. You 50 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: hear just all of the over the top ridiculous rhetoric 51 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: and people just come to believe it. So, yeah, it's 52 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: really easy to suddenly go and look at immigrations and 53 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: customs and enforcement, even though for years, and I'll give 54 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: you the examples coming up, you had CNN during the 55 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: Obama years writing with ICE agents detailing just how well 56 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: trained they were, the operations they were conducting, why they 57 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: were doing it. It's the same agency now the was 58 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: conducting those operations back then. 59 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: And yet too many people. 60 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: Have bought into these ridiculous lies relating to President Donald Trump. 61 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: And this isn't me saying that people should be voting Republican. 62 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: This isn't me saying people shouldn't be Democrats. I'm not 63 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: saying that at all. You don't have to like Trump. 64 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: I get that. That's fine. You don't have to like 65 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 3: him because he's a Republican. 66 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 4: I get it. That's fine. 67 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: You're entitled to your opinion, but stop for just a 68 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: moment and educate yourself on what's happening. 69 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: Relating to the ICE operations and. 70 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: Why we're doing this, and why all across the country 71 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 3: these operations take place and we don't have any problems. 72 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: It's the Democrat leadership here in Minnesota that created manufactured 73 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: this disaster that we're dealing with, that's causing individual their lives, 74 00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 3: and they're not stopping. Real leadership would have this weekend, Walls, Fry, Ellison, 75 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: all of them come out and said stop going and 76 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: getting in the way of ICE. 77 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 4: Just let them finish what they're doing and they will leave. 78 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: But they're not doing that, which prompted President Donald Trump 79 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: over the weekend to post on true social where are 80 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: the local police Why weren't they allowed to protect to 81 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: protect ICE officers? The mayor and the governor called them 82 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: off question mark. It has stated that many of these 83 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE 84 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: had to protect themselves. 85 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 4: It's not an easy thing to do. Chaos ensued. 86 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: I watched it unfold in the wake of the shooting 87 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: that took place on Saturday. I looked at Milinda at 88 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: one point in time and said, it looks like I'm 89 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: watching the movie Civil War from a few years back. 90 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: Maybe it was just last year, but it looked like 91 00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: the opening scenes of that film. Trump went on to say, 92 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 3: the mayor and the governor are inciting an insurrection with 93 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: their Papa's dangerous and arrogant rhetoric. Instead, the sanctimonious political 94 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: fools should be looking for the billions of dollars that's 95 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: been stolen for the people of Minnesota and the United 96 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: States of America. 97 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 4: Let our ice patriots do their job. And yet what does. 98 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: Governor Tim Walls come out and say. During a press 99 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: conference over the weekend, he said that immigration operations in 100 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: Minnesota evoke the tale of Ann Frank. Of course, the 101 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: Jewish girl who had hid from the Nazi regime in 102 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: an attic for over two years before dying in a 103 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: concentration camp. 104 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, 105 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 5: afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading 106 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 5: that story of Ann Frank. Somebody's going to write that 107 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 5: children's story about Minnesota and there's one person who can 108 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 5: end this now. 109 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: No, there's a lot of people that can in this 110 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 3: now if they just stayed home. There's no reason for 111 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: people to be fearful. Law enforcement conduct targeted operations all 112 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: across the country every single day looking for individuals who 113 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: have broken the law. If you're here legally, you have 114 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: nothing to worry about. It's been this way since the start. 115 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: The article from the Daily Wire regarding Tim Walls as 116 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: the outburst was just the latest in months long rhetorical 117 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: crusade against federal immigration enforcement. Last year, as we've shared 118 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: on the show, Walls called the ICE agents and Immigrations 119 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: and Customs Enforcement Trump's modern day gestapo. If they were 120 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: to come out and be honest about what they wanted 121 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: that they don't want to see, I. 122 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: Mean, they kind of just. 123 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: They kind of work around the outside of it without 124 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: directly saying it. 125 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: The person that gets the closest. 126 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 3: To it is Minneapolis ban Bab Mayor Mom Jean's Jacob 127 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: Frye in his pro illegal immigration stands. But really that's 128 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: what this comes down to. They don't want illegal aliens arrested, 129 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: but they'll never say that outright, because when you provide 130 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: the evidence of the background of the majority of individuals 131 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: that are being arrested. 132 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: These are really really bad dudes. 133 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: Newly elected New Jersey governor, also a Democrat, made a 134 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: similar statement on Sunday when she claimed thatn on CNN 135 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 3: that ICE was like the Communist Stasse, the East German 136 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: police and all of this is merely an extension of 137 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: what is playing out on the streets of Minnesota. If 138 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: the Left had any valid arguments against what federal law 139 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: enforcement was doing with their actions, they wouldn't need this 140 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: over the top rhetoric or the violence to take place. 141 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: And again, it's a combination. It's a combination of local citizens, 142 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: activists and those that are attempting an organized revolution. Fox 143 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 3: News was covering this extensively over the weekend on the 144 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: streets Saturday. This is what one of the reporters was confirming. Again, 145 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: we're talking comms, logistics, organization. Listen to what Fox News 146 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: had to say about what was taking place. 147 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 4: To you, it. 148 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 6: Definitely does feel organized to me. And I think you 149 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 6: can tell these people are well connected, They are in 150 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 6: communication with each other, and they are giving them instructions. 151 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 6: This happened all so quickly. People knew where to go. 152 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 6: They and they are taking commands. This is an organized 153 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 6: movement here. There's there's communication, there's food, there's there's notices, 154 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 6: there's notifications. 155 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 7: Uh. 156 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 6: They got out here in a hurry, and they add 157 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 6: number these this police force, probably by about ten to 158 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 6: one at this point. 159 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 4: It's incredible. Let's go back to Garant, Henny. 160 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 8: Are you freaking kiddemy Waltz is invoking Ann Frank when 161 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 8: it's his party who's been standing up for Palestinian freedom 162 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 8: and Hamas and the genocidal is raised, the Israeli genocidal 163 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 8: maniacs according to them. 164 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ridiculous. 165 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 3: Thankfully, I've actually seen some on the left that actually 166 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: that went and called that out. I was rather surprised 167 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 3: to see that, but you know what a broken clock is. 168 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: Right. 169 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 4: Twice a day over the. 170 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: Weekend, CEOs of major Minnesota businesses are speaking out.

According to Bring Me the News and again 178 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: I questioned their rationale for the meek call for de escalation. 179 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 4: No, it was a rather. 180 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: Appropriate response, shockingly coming from these Minnesota businesses.

Boy, 211 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 3: I've got all kinds of problems with this bring me 212 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: the news article, but are already being criticized for its 213 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: timid call for de escalation. Again, this desire, this need 214 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: to have everybody fall in line with your view to 215 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: bolster your point, especially on the left. Further examples of 216 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: how little arguments that they have over what ICE is 217 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 3: doing in terms of the operation itself of removing criminal 218 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: illegal aliens a meek call. Oh, heaven forbid. They took 219 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 3: a non partisan stance. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce on 220 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: Sunday shared an open letter signed by sixty leaders of 221 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: the large Minnesota up based companies and associations. CEOs of 222 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: Target three, m Best Buy, United Health Group, US Bank Corps, 223 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 3: General Mills, all among the different entities that signed. The 224 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: letter calls for an immediate de escalation of tensions and 225 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 3: for state and local federal officials to work together to 226 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: find solutions. You see, that's what ticked off the Democrats 227 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: because this is one of the biggest problems that we have, 228 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: the sanctuary policies. President Trump is absolutely right. He made 229 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 3: the comments over the weekend regarding this and when going 230 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 3: and laying out what people can do, what the state 231 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: can do, outlining for specific actions, turnover all criminal illegal 232 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: migrants currently held in state prisons and local jails, Transfer 233 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: custody of illegal migrants arrested by police to federal immigration officials. 234 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: Require local law enforcement to assist federal authorities in apprehending 235 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 3: and detaining illegal migrants. Partner with federal government to rapidly 236 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: move criminal illegal aliens. There's more details there but see 237 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 3: for the left right now in this modern civil war, 238 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: they can't have that because that would be looked upon 239 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: as a criticism of the policies that run counter to that. 240 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: And that's why the response to this Minnesota business letter 241 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: where they were just simply saying the quiet thing out loud, 242 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: which isn't even all that quiet. Local and federal officials 243 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: work together to find real solutions. Walts isn't going to 244 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: have that. Jacob Fry's not going to have that. Ellison's 245 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: not going to have that. The earlier reaction to the 246 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: open letter on the Chamber of Commerce Facebook page was 247 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 3: mostly negative, with complaints of the statement being hollow, playing 248 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: it safe, weak, and smacking of sending thoughts and prayers. 249 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: Short shrift from Minneapolis's City council member are In Chowdhurry, 250 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: who said, if they wanted this to end, they could 251 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: leverage their capital to do so. They'll still let Ice 252 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 3: stage in their lots, let Bovino terrorize customers, and let 253 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 3: their employees get attacked by Ice on the job, And 254 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,119 Speaker 3: you wonder why people continue to take to the streets 255 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: when they hear that type of rhetoric coming from an 256 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 3: elected official. Probably the worst response, though, was Minnesota DFL 257 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 3: Party Chair Richard Carlbaum. He wrote, and I can't even 258 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: say this on the radio. He said, this statement is 259 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: bull blank. Minnesota business leaders, your voices matter, and this 260 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: seems like you fear the majority whip tomm Emmer more 261 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: than you care about your profits. Choose your bottom line 262 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: over Republican lies. Your bottom line is aligned with Minnesota lives. 263 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 3: That's coming from the DFL party chair responding to Minnesota businesses, 264 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 3: saying we'd like an immediate de escalation of tensions and 265 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: for state and local federal officials to work together to 266 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: find solutions. 267 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 4: Oh heaven forbid so egregious. 268 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: But for those on the left right now, it is 269 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: they have no policies to run on right now. Their 270 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: only campaign is there Trump de arrangement syndrome and the 271 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: means to perpetuate that and use their base of supporters 272 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 3: to do so, continuing to put them in harm's way 273 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: on a daily basis, because they still don't tell people 274 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: stay home and out of everybody's way. 275 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 9: Good morning, John. A way to tell that Trump is 276 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,239 Speaker 9: not a dictator or an authoritarian is the fact that 277 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 9: these protests were allowed to happen in the first place, 278 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 9: from the very beginning, they wouldn't have happened in like 279 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 9: North Korea. And another way you can tell that he's 280 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 9: not a dictator. Guess what legacy media those people would 281 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 9: not be allowed to report the way they're reporting against 282 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 9: him if he was a true dictator authoritarian. People are 283 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 9: just uneducated on these factors. 284 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 4: And I'll keep hammering it. 285 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 3: These operations are taking place across the country in other 286 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: states with way more individuals being arrested, and there's no controversies. 287 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 3: But unfortunately, now so much time has gone by that 288 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: you have dangerous factions that have joined in the fight. 289 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: I'll get into this coming up after seven o'clock. But 290 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 3: Fox News Digital leading the investigation along with those independent 291 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 3: journalists on the ground. They've revealed coordinated a coordinated network 292 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 3: of far left organizations, including socialist, communist, Marxist Leninist groups, 293 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: mobilized demonstrators to harassed federal agents in Minneapolis. The network 294 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: leveraged the fatal shooting of alex Pretty by the Border 295 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 3: Patrol agents to incite the nationwide protests, using sensationalized videos 296 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 3: and propaganda to exploit the strategy. The orchestrated chaos mirrors 297 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 3: pass mobilizations exploiting public sympathy to wage a domestic political 298 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: war on the US government. These signal chats have been 299 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: revealing that allegedly you have individuals within the walls and 300 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: administration that are a part of this. I'll provide more 301 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 3: details from the Fox News Digital report coming up just 302 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: after eight o'clock. But listen to this Alexis McAdams from 303 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: Fox News. She actually reposted this in the wake of 304 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 3: everything that was going on, just so everybody didn't you know, 305 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 3: didn't miss it, she wrote, re upping this. I've covered 306 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: a lot of protests, never seen anything quite like this. 307 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 3: Organized is an understatement, says the Fox News reporter. 308 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 10: Or what sticks out to me from covering these protests 309 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 10: here for the past several days of Minneapolis is just 310 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 10: how organized these protesters are. We talked about the ICE 311 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 10: Watch group. These people have spottershean all over the city, 312 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 10: so they say who pulls in and out of the 313 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 10: Federal building, whether they're ICE agents or not. They want 314 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 10: to track you down, they want to put you in 315 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 10: a database, and then it's shared, according to DHS sources 316 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 10: through signal chats. 317 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 4: So that's what sticks out to me. About this. 318 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 10: They're angry, they're motivated, and they have a message for 319 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 10: these ICE agents that they don't want them in the 320 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 10: city of Minneapolis. 321 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 4: And I think it's. 322 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 10: Important to point out too, is you have when you're 323 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 10: talking about who these neighbors are. I asked those protesters, 324 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 10: you're here to protect your neighbors. We hear it from 325 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 10: the governor, we hear it from the mayor of Minneapolis. 326 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 10: Who are the neighbors. I asked a few of the protesters, 327 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 10: you're here to protect the guy who DHS says was 328 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 10: in the country legally that is wanted for sadomy, for murder. 329 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 10: And they say, no, that is not true. They're taking, 330 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 10: you know, American citizens into custody. So no matter what 331 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 10: you say, no matter what the facts are from DHS 332 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 10: or from whatever side, you know, they don't want to 333 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 10: hear it. 334 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 4: So that's what we've been dealing with on the ground. 335 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 10: Things do escalate and then one minute it's okay, you 336 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 10: blink and it's a different story. The smell a tear gas. 337 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 10: I'm going here in Minneapolis on. 338 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 3: Again now Alexis McAdams from Fox News. We're going to 339 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: talk with gubernatorial candidate Lisa Damon here in just a 340 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 3: moment on Twin Cities News Talk, I do want to 341 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: play this talk back from the iHeartRadio app brought to 342 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: you by Lyndall Realty. 343 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: Hey, John Kenny, and Saint Paul. I think what is 344 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: the scariest part about this is all the phone calls. 345 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: And texts that we're getting. 346 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: My wife and I receiving communications from people from Florida, Texas, Colorado, California, Virginia, Ohio, 347 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: everywhere asking if we are safe, and we're just befuddled, 348 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: like what is the national media pushing It is insane. 349 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 3: So let me just let me add a quick comment 350 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 3: on this because I was actually having a conversation with 351 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: somebody about this very thing recently. Whenever you watch high 352 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 3: profile events taking place from Afar in other regions of 353 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 3: the country and you've got riots or protesting, you know, 354 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 3: protest taking place, if you don't have sort of a 355 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 3: lay of the land, the perception is that you know this, 356 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 3: you know, all hell is breaking loose, and it's happening 357 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 3: on this wide you know, on this on this large scale. Okay, 358 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 3: And while you do have ice operations throughout Minneapolis and 359 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: the metro area, when it comes to these various altercations, 360 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 3: especially like what's ink place on Saturday in the wake 361 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: of the death of the protester, actually went and looked 362 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 3: upon a map to find out exactly where this was 363 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: in South Minneapolis, so that I could get a lay 364 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 3: of the land, and it's a very concentrated area of 365 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: just a block or two. The same thing happened during 366 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 3: the George Floyd riots going back to twenty twenty and 367 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 3: when they had created these autonomous no go zones, which 368 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: apparently they're doing in South Minneapolis as well. The perception 369 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 3: rarely ever equals the reality. So I think people on 370 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 3: the outside looking at what's happening here in minutes and 371 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 3: they think, oh, this is taking place like in your 372 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: neck of the woods, when the truth of the matter is, 373 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: if you're not paying attention to the news, you probably 374 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 3: don't even realize what's going on. And let me just 375 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 3: put a period on this, and I'm running behind. We'll 376 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: get to Lisa Dama here in a moment. But this 377 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 3: goes back to my point, and the point that I 378 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 3: was making weeks ago and reiterating today, is that if 379 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: you didn't have individuals protesting, observing, getting. 380 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: In the way nobody would even know this was happening. 381 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: Law enforcement goes and arrests individuals in targeted operations. ICE 382 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 3: does this, Border Patrol does this all around the country 383 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: every single day, and it happened for four years leading 384 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: up to Trump's second term, and nobody said a thing. 385 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 3: Thousands of individuals arrested by the same agency using the 386 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: same tactics. You didn't have these claims of people being 387 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 3: stopped on the street. You didn't have claims of racial profiling. 388 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: I played the audio former president of Baraco. I'll play 389 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 3: the audio CNN going on ride alongs with ICE and 390 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: the great job that they were doing. The only difference 391 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: is Trump. That's all this is about. It is merely 392 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: an extension of Trump arrangement syndrome. And when I say 393 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: we need to drop back and look at the situation, 394 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 3: that's what I'm talking about. It doesn't make any rational 395 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: sense what democrats, what the leftists are doing, except when 396 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: you just go it's Trump's operation and they hate it, 397 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: which gives them all the rationale that they need to 398 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 3: go and take the actions that they're taking, even if 399 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 3: it means that they're defending criminal individuals here in the 400 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 3: United States. Narco terrorists. 401 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 4: I mean, don't forget. 402 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 11: You had the left complaining about drugs being loaded onto 403 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 11: boats being transported to the United State. 404 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 4: Hey, so we're taking action on that. And you had 405 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 4: Democrats complaining, You. 406 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 11: Had Democrats complaining about Maduro. 407 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: Being arrested. It doesn't matter if Trump's doing it, there 408 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: against it. That's it. It's that simple.

And then his question, as you 426 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 12: heard in his public press conference after, was you know, 427 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 12: the ideas of how do we de escalate things. ICE 428 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 12: needs to get their work done. There are orders that 429 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 12: have to take place. But as you've been reporting all 430 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 12: morning and all last week and continuously, John, if Governor 431 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 12: Wallas and Mayor Fry would work with ICE, this wouldn't 432 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 12: even be making news right now. As you've said this morning, 433 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 12: that's kind of what Vice President was talking about. How 434 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,239 Speaker 12: do we de esk like getting the work done in 435 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 12: a peaceful, safe way for our communities. 436 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: Well, and it's a dangerous situation right now in Lisa 437 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 3: Damouth because you do have these these various you know, 438 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: sort of factions as I've been you know, describing them 439 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: that are involved in the in the unrest, in the operations, 440 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: and there are there are operations against what ICE is, 441 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 3: what ICE is doing. But you even see our Minnesota 442 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 3: businesses are realizing the importance of having you know, federal 443 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 3: authorities and local authorities partner together. When they released this 444 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 3: business statement and I was pleasantly surprised to see these 445 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 3: businesses take this bipartisan stance. I'm just saying, hey, we 446 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 3: want to de escalate things, we need to partner together 447 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 3: to make it happen. 448 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 4: And yet it's immediately. 449 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 3: Received pushback from you know, prominent Democrats and elected positions, 450 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: and the Minnesota DFL Party chair himself pushed back on it, 451 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 3: using profanity to say that it was basically bs. Your 452 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: thoughts on this, on this appeal from the business leaders, I. 453 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 12: Think the appeal from the business leaders, I was grateful 454 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 12: to see that come out yesterday or last night whenever 455 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 12: I saw the letter, and really all they were saying 456 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 12: is let's find a way through, de escalate things and 457 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 12: allow the work to go forward. I think that was 458 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 12: just common sense, and that is what you have been 459 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 12: reporting on all along, just common sense. But to hear 460 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 12: the pushback, especially from the DFL party chair with the 461 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 12: vulgar language that we've heard from Mayor Fry and from 462 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 12: others on different occasions, that pushback where you have business 463 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 12: leaders in the state of Minnesota just saying basically, let's 464 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 12: just get this done, grow up and do the right thing. 465 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 12: The pushback from the DFL is very telling. My question 466 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 12: is why would the DFL want this chaos to continue 467 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 12: except for the fact that we have the same leaders 468 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 12: that failed us back in twenty twenty and you look 469 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 12: what that did to our cities and our state and 470 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 12: here this is not to that extent, but that same pathway. 471 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 12: This is not good for Minnesota, and you know that, 472 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 12: I know that, all your listeners know that. But cooler 473 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 12: heads have to prevail. 474 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: Talking with gubernatorial candidate Lisa Damuth before we wrap up, 475 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: I know we're a little short on time this morning, 476 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 3: but I would like to get your thoughts on we 477 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: lost another life here in Minnesota on altercation with a 478 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 3: protester and Ice and Border Patrol agents. Obviously, there'll be 479 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: an investigation, I'm you know, a waiting. As I've mentioned 480 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 3: on my personal judgment, I'm leaving that up to the 481 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 3: experts with regards to whether or not this was a 482 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: good or bad shoot. But your thoughts on the unfortunate 483 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 3: death that occurred again on the streets of Minneapolis this weekend. 484 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, any loss of life obviously is just is absolutely tragic, 485 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 12: and my heart goes out to the friends and family 486 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 12: of this gentleman. As earlier, you know, with the loss 487 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 12: of life just a couple of weeks ago. My heart 488 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 12: goes out to that people can peacefully protest. They should 489 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 12: be able to do those things peacefully. Our law enforcement 490 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 12: officers in those communities need to have the ability and 491 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 12: do their job to keep both crowd control, traffic control, 492 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 12: just the peacekeeping areas there. I too, am waiting. I 493 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 12: wasn't there. I am not an investigator. I'm waiting for 494 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 12: the full assessment and investigation to be done. I'm not 495 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 12: giving any specific opinion. I'm not qualified to do that. 496 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 12: But any loss of life is absolutely tragic for whatever reason, 497 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 12: and so that is where my heart is at with 498 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 12: friends and family in the community that have suffered through this. 499 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: Kubernatorial candidate Lisa Damon, thank you so much for joining 500 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 3: the show this morning. It's great to speak with you 501 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: and continued good luck on your campaign. 502 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 4: We'll talk again real soon. 503 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 12: Thank you so much. John. There's a lot to do 504 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 12: for Minnesota, but this is what takes the focus right now. Still, 505 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 12: Minnesota needs to change in many many ways. 506 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 4: Thank you so much for joining the show. 507 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 3: And speaking of those comments from Vice President jd Vance, 508 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 3: he said it perfectly over the weekend when I. 509 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: Was actually walking out here. 510 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 13: Somebody send me a photo of a CNN headline about 511 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 13: what happened in Minneapolis, and this is the headline. 512 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: I'm just going to read it, outrage. 513 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 13: After ice officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis. Well, that's 514 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 13: one way to put it, and that is the way 515 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 13: that many people in the corporate media have put this 516 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 13: attack over the last twenty four hours. And I say 517 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 13: attack very very intentionally, because this was an attack on 518 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 13: federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order, 519 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 13: This was an attack on the American people. 520 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: The way that the media by. 521 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 13: And large has reported this story has been an absolute 522 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 13: disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk 523 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 13: every single day. What that headline leaves out is the 524 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 13: fact that that very ice officer nearly had his life 525 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 13: ended dragged by a car six months ago, thirty three 526 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 13: stitches in his legs, so you think maybe he's a 527 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 13: little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile. 528 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 13: What that headline leaves out is that that woman was 529 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 13: there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in 530 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 13: the United States of America. What that headline leaves out 531 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 13: is that that woman has is part of a broader 532 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 13: left wing network. 533 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: To attack, to docks, to assault, and to make it 534 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 2: impossible for our ice officers to do their job. 535 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 13: If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought 536 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 13: to tell the truth that a group of left wing 537 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 13: radicals have been working tiresly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques 538 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 13: to try to make it impossible for the President of 539 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 13: the United States to do what the American people elected 540 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 13: him to do, which has enforced our immigration laws. The 541 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 13: President stands with Ice, I stand with Ice, We stand 542 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 13: with all of our law enforcement officers. And part of 543 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 13: that is recognizing that you people in the media, not 544 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 13: everybody in this room, but many people in this room 545 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 13: have been lying about this attack. 546 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 2: She was trying to ram this guy with this with 547 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: her car. 548 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 13: He shot back, he defended himself. He's already been seriously 549 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 13: wounded in law enforcement operations before. And everybody who's been 550 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 13: repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who 551 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 13: was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law 552 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 13: enforcement officer shot at her. You should be ashamed of yourselves, 553 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 13: every single one of you questions. 554 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 3: And clearly that was a clip. In my apologies, that 555 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 3: was an older clip relating to the renee on Nicole 556 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 3: Good shooting, but the commentary is relevant to what's been 557 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 3: transpiring over the weekend. 558 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 4: Just wanted to make sure that I was clear on that. 559 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 4: I thought that was a newer clip. As I was. 560 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 3: Doing my prep this morning, I homped online as I 561 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 3: typically do, and on my feed it was inundated with 562 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 3: videos from overnight. You had individuals dressed up in armor goggles, 563 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 3: respirators will get into a clip from kW here in 564 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 3: just a moment from the iHeartRadio app. They believe that 565 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 3: ICE agents were staying at a hotel and they were 566 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 3: breaking in, destroying the sign outside. 567 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 4: Multiple people arrested. 568 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 3: Overnight, agitators arrived at the hotel clashed with federal agents, 569 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 3: who ended up using tear gas and flashbangs and an 570 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 3: attempt to disperse the crowd. Following the fatal shooting of 571 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 3: the American citizen by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, the 572 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: Border Patrol agents were seen pointing rifles at the end 573 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 3: agitators and members of the press standing near the entrance 574 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 3: of the hotel where the demonstrators believe the Immigrations and 575 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 3: Customs Enforcement agents were staying. There was no coverage on 576 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 3: this this morning. When I got up, I got this 577 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 3: story from Fox News. 578 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 4: National media has it. 579 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 3: Maybe that's on the headlines now of the local media outlets, 580 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 3: but at the time when I was doing prep today, 581 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 3: you could only find either the Fox News story or 582 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 3: the independent journalists documenting the devastation of the rioters from 583 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 3: last night. Many people on the video could be seen 584 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: blowing whistles clacking bells as agitators at the front of 585 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 3: the crowd attempted to force their way through the hotels 586 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 3: front doors. One agent asked the group of protesters where 587 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 3: is the local police department. Agents of eventually pushed back 588 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 3: on the crowd threatened to detain the agitators and the journalists, 589 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 3: with video appearing to show one agent shoving a member 590 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 3: of the press to the ground. Some agitators used to 591 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 3: shovel to remove the placard from the hotel, others through 592 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 3: snowballs as security worked to barricade the entrance to the building. 593 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 3: The group eventually stopped trying to reach inside, but remained 594 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: at the entrance's officers held at the doors shut The 595 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: Minnesota Department of Public Safeties that arrests were made because 596 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 3: the demonstration was not peaceful. The Minnesota State Patrol and 597 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 3: DNR were called to assist. In Minneapolis, police would damage 598 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 3: to the hotel property at the Home to Suites hotel 599 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: on University Avenue while they collaborative collaboratively worked to encircle 600 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 3: the group for arrests. Because the demonstration was not peaceful, 601 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 3: Federal agents arrived without communication and deployed chemical irritants, clearing 602 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 3: the group. The State Patrol and the DNR are no 603 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 3: longer at the scene. It added again, the chaos is 604 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 3: coming from the sanctuary policies. Federal agents aren't communicating with 605 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 3: local law enforcement because local law enforcement has been told 606 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 3: not to communicate with federal agents. None of this is 607 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 3: hard for more on the ground reporting friend of the 608 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: show kW again, we don't agree politically, but he also 609 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 3: exercises common sense and rational thinking regarding what's taking place, 610 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 3: and he's on the ground. 611 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,919 Speaker 7: Good morning again, this is kW from the great City 612 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 7: of Minneapolis. Those riots that are highly organized. I went 613 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 7: down to the site. Barricades albready been put up. I 614 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 7: saw people coming with respirators. If they're coming to a 615 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 7: peaceful protest, how they need respirators. So it's highly organized 616 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 7: and it's kind of productive and it's going to affect 617 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 7: the safety of citizens. So they about to be safe 618 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 7: still with from ice one hundred feet have a great 619 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 7: day by. 620 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 3: Governor Tim Walls in a press conference over the weekend, 621 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 3: asked if there was anything that he could do to 622 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 3: meet the Trump administration at least part of the way. 623 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 14: Administrating at least part of the way. 624 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, it's not a serious attempting, the 625 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 5: Attorney General said that, and again I would thank the 626 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 5: local folks and commission. 627 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 3: He's referring to the letter that Attorney General Pam Bondi 628 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 3: sent laying out the different ways in which Governor Tim 629 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 3: Walls in the state of Minnesota could partner with the 630 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 3: federal government to quell the tensions and get the job done. 631 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 4: I laid those out a moment ago. None of them 632 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 4: were egregious. 633 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 3: All are things that other states have complied with and 634 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 3: done willingly and not had any of the problems that 635 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,760 Speaker 3: we've been having here in Minnesota. 636 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 4: Here in Minneapolis. Here's more from Governor Jim Walls. 637 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 5: Nurschnelleger, thank you to you and your team over there. 638 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 5: In that letter, they talked about, you know, you need 639 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 5: to hand people over who in your jails. They're taking 640 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 5: credit for people that we've had in jail for a 641 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 5: long time. We always hand them over, and the Commissioner 642 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 5: very clearly, so they're lying. They're lying. This has nothing 643 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 5: to do with fraud, as the Attorney General said, they're 644 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 5: not sending us a forensic account, and these are things 645 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 5: that have been we're dealing with now and have been 646 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 5: for quite some time. So look, it's not a serious 647 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 5: attempt to get at this. The way to fix this 648 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 5: is is get these folks out of here. We've continued 649 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 5: to work with them. They asked us for these numbers, 650 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 5: we provided them. We continue to show and they're not serious. 651 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 3: And once again it's just word vomit. There's almost no 652 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 3: substance in what he's saying. He claims they're lying, says 653 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 3: that they are handing over these criminals even though we've 654 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 3: had fact based information released talking about the number of 655 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 3: individuals that walls the Hennepin County Attorney have released back 656 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 3: on the streets, individuals they haven't turned over. Keep saying 657 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 3: it's not a serious attempt. Tries to point a different direction, saying, 658 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 3: if Ice would just leave, this wouldn't be a problem. 659 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 3: So apparently Governor Tim Walls is fine with leaving the 660 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 3: criminal element here in Minnesota because that's who ICE has 661 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 3: been targeting. 662 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 5: And look, I think everybody understands what the last request 663 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 5: was totally unrelated to anything on the voter files. This 664 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 5: is again, as the Attorney General said, Donald Trump telling 665 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 5: everybody that the election was rigged. Who started all this 666 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 5: nightmare for America, has nothing new with it, And I 667 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 5: just I would just give a pro tip to the 668 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 5: Attorney General. There's two million documents in the Epstein files 669 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 5: were still waiting on. 670 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 2: Go ahead and work on those. 671 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 3: That last comment tells you all you need to know. 672 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 3: He tries to hit a hot button issue that some 673 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 3: conservatives care about. Well, he should be focused on this 674 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 3: over here. I don't know why he's bothering with this 675 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 3: over here because the Epstein issue isn't a pressing matter 676 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 3: right now. People's lives aren't in danger right now because 677 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 3: of the Epstein issue. And well, yeah, I'd like to 678 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 3: see clarity and people held responsible, if that's even possible. 679 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 3: Relating to that, it's not of the utmost importance at 680 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 3: the moment, wherein what's taking place on the streets of 681 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 3: Minneapolis right now is here's more of what Governor Jim 682 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 3: Walls had to say from over the weekend. 683 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 5: You're allowed to decide at any point that you're not 684 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 5: with this anymore. If you voted for this administration. Heck, 685 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 5: even if you thought Operation Metro Surge was a good idea, 686 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 5: sounded like the thing to do a month ago, You're 687 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 5: still allowed to look at what's happening here in Minnesota 688 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 5: and say, this isn't what I voted for, and this 689 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 5: isn't what I want. 690 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 3: That's all the chaos that's created by the people on 691 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 3: the street. And let me go back to the previous 692 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 3: comment before we get too much distant from it. Numerous 693 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 3: other states have gladly gone and handed over their voter rolls. 694 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 3: When we're looking at dealing with the fraud here in Minnesota, 695 00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 3: that information is crucial. I would question, what are they 696 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 3: so afraid of? Why are they so afraid to go 697 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 3: and hand over that information. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve 698 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 3: Simon released his statement on Sunday, saying the federal government 699 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 3: told state officials in the letter that it would bring 700 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 3: an end to the chaos in Minnesota if they abide 701 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 3: by the three of the requests the attorney the answer 702 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 3: to Attorney General Bondi's request, because Simon's office oversees the 703 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 3: state elections and voter process, called the Attorney General's request 704 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 3: to access a citizens private data outrageous. He said, No, 705 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 3: her letter is an outrageous attempt to coerce Minnesota into 706 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 3: giving the federal government private data on millions of US 707 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 3: citizens in violation of state and federal law. 708 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 4: No, it's not. 709 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 3: Other states have done it, no problem because they didn't 710 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 3: have anything to hide. This comes after repeat it, he 711 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 3: went on to say, and failed attempts by the DODA 712 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 3: to pressure my office into providing the same data. 713 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 4: They keep asking me, but I just keep telling them no. 714 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 2: I ask you not to stand by idly. 715 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 5: Speak out, share what you're seeing, and others urge others 716 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 5: to put politics aside. We're no longer having a political debate. 717 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:15,720 Speaker 2: We're having a moral debate. 718 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 5: We all want secure borders and immigration enformacement that prioritizes criminals. 719 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 5: And I want to thank the press, especially the local press, 720 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 5: who has done a deep dive to show that's exactly 721 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 5: what Minnesota does. But what you're seeing is not common sense. No, 722 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 5: you don't lawful or humane enforcement. That's not what this 723 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 5: occupation is about. 724 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 4: Go talk to. 725 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 3: Mayor Jacob Fry, Governor Jim Walls. He's been going on 726 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 3: national media over and over again. He's been saying in 727 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 3: press conferences over and over again, regardless of. 728 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 4: Your immigration status, you. 729 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 3: Are welcome here. You're not out there arresting criminal illegal aliens. 730 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 3: You have sanctuary policies that keep local law enforcement from 731 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 3: working with federal agents. The only reason why we need 732 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 3: ICE in the area is because you're not allowing local 733 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 3: law enforcement to go and hold criminals accountable because they're 734 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 3: resting those that are here in the country illegally. Isn't 735 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 3: politically advantageous for Democrats? I mean, who's spreading the lines now, 736 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary. This is a funny moment. I got more 737 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 3: coming up next hour.

When being interviewed 744 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 3: by ABC I know. 745 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 15: This is not your lane, but I got to ask 746 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 15: you about what's happened in Minneapolis. As a member of 747 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 15: the Trump cabinet. Are you're concerned to see another Americans 748 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 15: is a dead shot by federal law enforcement. 749 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 2: Jonathan. 750 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 14: It's a tragedy when anyone dies. But I can tell 751 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 14: you the situation on the ground there is being stirred 752 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 14: up by Governor Waltz. I was out there two weeks ago. 753 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 14: Governor Waltz declined to provide a security detail for me 754 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 14: to go into the Minnesota capital with the state police. 755 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 14: So he is fomenting He is fomenting chaos because there 756 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,280 Speaker 14: is substantial waste, fraught, and abuse. My job as Treasury 757 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 14: Secretary is to investigate that. And I think that this 758 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 14: chaos is going out there. And again, I am sorry 759 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 14: that this gentleman is dead, but he did bring a 760 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 14: nine to oometer semi automatic weapon with two cartridges to 761 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 14: what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. I think 762 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 14: that there are a lot of paid agitators who are 763 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 14: jetting things up, and the governor has not done a 764 00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 14: good job at camping this down. 765 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 15: I mean, as you know, he was an ICU nurse 766 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 15: worked for the Veterans administration. And there's no evidence that 767 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 15: he brandished the gun whatsoever.
