Just played audio 6 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: from newly installed mayor of Saint Paul Cohuli Hurr, who 7 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: basically appeared to accuse the city's church and the protest 8 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: because she thinks that it was deserved retaliation. It's pretty 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: clear that this administration is sending people in to intimidate us, 10 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: and we will not be intimidated. It's just completely removed 11 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: from the truth and reality. The only reason why there 12 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: are more federal law enforcement officials here in minute Soda 13 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: is because the ones that were on the ground conducting 14 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: the operations solely because of what Joe Biden did the 15 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: past four years prior to Trump getting re elected in 16 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: allowing those millions of illegal aliens flood into the country 17 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: and then giving them bus passes to Minnesota. The only 18 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: reason why there's more on the ground is because of 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the obstructors, and the only reason why the obstructors put 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the federal officials in a position to have to bring 21 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: in reinforcements is because of the stupid progressive policies relating 22 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: to sanctuary states and cities that disconnected law enforcement from ice. 23 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: And yet what I'll play for you later on from 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: the leaders of the Minneapolis police departments continuing to misinform 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: the public saying, well, we don't know what's going on 26 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: with them, and we need better communication with them. 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: Well, you know what you could have that. 28 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: You're choosing not to have that better communication.

As to the new mayor 32 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: of Saint Paul going to be worse than the old 33 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: mayor of Saint Paul, and that just continues the lineage 34 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,559 Speaker 3: of watching Saint Paul crumble to the ground by bad leadership. 35 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 3: And as to the walking into this church, they should 36 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: lock all those people up. And can you imagine for 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 3: one second if the conservative faction in this state went 38 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 3: into a mosque during prayer, it would be all over 39 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: the country with outrage. 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: Of course, it's ridiculous. 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Of course it got because what they do is justified. 42 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: What the left does is righteous. 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: In their minds. 44 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: Conservatives are just members of Trump's regime and Nazis to them. 45 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: So whatever Republicans do, it's irrelevant. It is absolutely irrelevant 46 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: because you're you know, you're what about ism is correct? 47 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it, and even they know it, but they 48 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: don't care. They have no shame. 49 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: A couple of things here. First of all, they've got 50 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 4: their signs over all these businesses that ICE isn't allowed 51 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 4: to come onto private property, but leet they want their 52 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: protesters to go into a church service. And second of all, 53 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: ICE didn't go into school property. They were arresting somebody 54 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: in front of a school, where the school employees came 55 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: out and harassed and obstructed that and people were detained. 56 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: Quit the lies, Yeah, and I want to get into 57 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: more of that here in just a moment, because the 58 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: left really tries to establish this. 59 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: Baseline of lies, as. 60 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Alana mentioned there and thank you for the talkback, a 61 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: baseline of misinformation, and then the circular reporting begins as 62 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: it spreads those lies and misinformation. And I'll give you 63 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: the examples here in just a moment on Twin City's news. 64 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: But let's go back to the big news from yesterday 65 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: and what may transpire today, as federal prosecutors did serve 66 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: subpoenas to at least five top Minnesota Democrats, including Governor 67 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: Tim Walls. 68 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: And it's clear, look, I don't know. 69 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 5: I don't think any government history has had to fight 70 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 5: a war against the federal government. 71 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you did that, Walls. 72 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: This is all part of the Justice Department's investigation into 73 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: the obstruction of ICE and of the Trump administration's illegal 74 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: immigration crackdown here in Minnesota. Now, beyond the subpoena issued 75 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: to Walls for allegedly obstructing law enforcement activities, the DOJ 76 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: also subpoenaed Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis man byb Mayor, 77 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Mom Jeans, Jacob Fry, Saint Paul Mayer, Kahooli her who 78 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: we just heard from, Hennepin County Attorney Mary moriy Or. 79 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: Do we have audio to share her coming up a 80 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: little bit later on this hour. All over there alleged 81 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: anti ICE actions and obstruction activities, according to US officials. 82 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: I made the mistake of listening to some commentary of 83 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: other radio yesterday. First of thought was, I don't know 84 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: how foes of the show listen to the show as 85 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: much as they do. 86 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: I must just be that entertaining because I can't listen. 87 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: To the ridiculous nonsense from individuals who want I just 88 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: don't agree with politically or based on our ideologies, but 89 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: two completely twist what's actually transpiring right now here in Minnesota. 90 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: I just I'm like, I can't. I just can't. 91 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: If you are not going to go and speak truthfully 92 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: about what is actually taking place with all of the 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: proper context, I have no time for you. And it's 94 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: clear why so many of the other these other talking 95 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: heads do it. They know the political makeup here. They're 96 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: going to try to cater to everybody, try to be 97 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: fair and balanced with all of it. But that's an 98 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: impossibility right now. 99 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: You can't do that. You really do have to pick 100 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: a side. 101 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: You know, you're either inside the matrix and you're going 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: to perpetuate the lies being created by Democrats over and 103 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: over and over again, or you're gonna get outside the 104 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: matrix and understand what is actually taking place, regardless of 105 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: what your political ideology is. 106 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 2: I heard the complete opposite, though. 107 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: It just was like, Nope, if you can't speak the 108 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: truth regarding these issues, I simply can't help you, and 109 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to listen to you. Deputy Attorney General 110 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: Todd Blanche had warned both men last week, Walls and Fry, 111 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: that he was focused on stopping you from your terrorism 112 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: by whatever means necessary. Walls did respond to the federal 113 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: investigation on Friday night, claiming it was an authoritarian tactic. 114 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. 115 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: Wall set on X. 116 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: I know the hypocrisy has not lost on you, but this, 117 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, go back to my previous commentary of you're 118 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: the you're the evil one. You friends of the show. 119 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: So they can act however they want to act. When 120 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: they use the justice system against a Republican, a conservative, 121 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: it's justified. 122 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: It's righteous. 123 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: If a Republican does that, a conservative does that, it's 124 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: an authoritarian tactic, according to the hack that is. 125 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls. 126 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: FBI director Cash Betel on Fox News talking about these subpoenas. 127 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: Here's what he says. These subpoenas mean, you. 128 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 6: Have subpoenas out. It's not rocket science. Investigations are done 129 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 6: by acquiring records. Investigations are then furthered by putting witnesses 130 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 6: in the grand jury and making a presentment for a 131 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 6: case with our partners at the Department of Justice and 132 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 6: the Attorney General will do in any case. 133 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 7: But let's make one thing. 134 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 6: Absolutely crystal clear. Under President Trump's leadership, he has supplied 135 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 6: law enforcement the resources they need to protect our American communities. 136 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 6: He has also given us the mandate to enforce the law. 137 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 6: And the law is simply this. No one, no one 138 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 6: elected official, private citizen, or otherwise gets to impede and 139 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 6: instruct a law enforcement investigation. No one, and this FBI 140 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 6: is committed to working with our interagency and our Department 141 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 6: of Justice partners under President Trump's mandate to make sure Minnesota, 142 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 6: in every other city across this country is safe. And 143 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 6: that's why we're having the record year that we're having 144 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 6: under President Trump brilliant leadership. 145 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Minneapple as man baby mayor Mom jeans the Jacob Frye 146 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: responded to the subpoenas, accusing the Department of trying to 147 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: intimidate him over his support for the city. This is 148 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: all done out of love, including local law enforcement officers 149 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: and residents who are protesting federal immigration operations. I will 150 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: not be intimidated, fry insistent on X My focus remains 151 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: where it's always been, keeping our city safe.

He's clearly panicking 156 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: over this DOJ subpoena because, unlike his numerous frivolous lawsuits 157 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: against the Trump administration, subpoenas coming from the DOJ right 158 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: now actually have merit to them. Keith Ellison knows this, 159 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: even though he has a bad understanding of the law. 160 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 5: Keith Ellison's Minnesota Attorney general, whose office just received a 161 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 5: subpoena from Donald Trump's to partner of Justice, and he 162 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 5: joins me, now, I want to start with the subpoena 163 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 5: and then to ask you about some of the things 164 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 5: we're seeing, because that news just broke. It was reported 165 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 5: on Friday night that they would be sending subpoenas out. 166 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 5: I think to Gunner Walls, mayor Fry and yourself, I 167 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 5: believe you have received the subpoena. 168 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: What can you tell us and what's your response. 169 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 8: We're going to look it over and we'll respond according 170 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 8: to law. 171 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: I can tell you. 172 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 9: Though, they're announced of investigations from all of us, and 173 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 9: you mentioned three of us. 174 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: Here in Minnesota. 175 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 9: Actually, they're actually messing with the brand new mayor of 176 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 9: Saint Paul and the Canopy County attorney. But they're not 177 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 9: investigating the person who ended the life of Renee Good. 178 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 9: There's no investigation on that at all, And so it's. 179 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: A little bit ironic. 180 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: That's actually not true. There is a DOJ investigation into that. 181 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 10: Man. 182 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: There was a time when people these things actually mattered. 183 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: There was there was a time when I don't want 184 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: to say you couldn't get away with lying, lying when 185 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: speaking to the media, but there certainly was a lot 186 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: more controversy around it. Now it's as if every single 187 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: time I play a clip from a Democrat, it's either misinformation, propaganda, 188 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: or just a straight up lie and it just rolls along, 189 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: no pushback, no countering. I guess that's why I'm here, 190 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: as we're. 191 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 8: Doing the work that we're elected to do by our constituents, 192 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 8: standing up for our states, insisting upon the dignity and 193 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 8: the rights of the members of Minnesota. They have not 194 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 8: done anything close to what they should do when it 195 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 8: comes to investigating a homicide. And again, I make no 196 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 8: conclusion as to how the conclusion how the case should 197 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 8: end up. But they have overtly and very deliberately stated, 198 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 8: we're not investigating anything. No one in the federal side 199 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 8: is investigating the death of Renee Good. 200 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: That's not true. 201 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: Now explain that it's just not true. The DOJ has 202 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: said there is an investigation taking place. They said it 203 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: last week. It's Keith Ellison's ignorance. They don't seek any 204 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: of the truth. It's the same as Ilhan Omar, It's 205 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: the same as man Baby mayor Jacob Fry last week 206 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: when they were stating they're not even providing any evidence 207 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: of the background of the individuals they're arresting. And yet 208 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: you go to any number of websites and they all 209 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: had the same information provided by the Department of Justice 210 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: detailing the background of all those criminals. And then suddenly 211 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: that argument went away. They just got away with that lie. 212 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: It gets perpetuated on social media, and it gets repeated 213 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: over and over again by individuals who have no interest 214 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: in going and seeking the truth. 215 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you an example of that. 216 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: In the talkback that I just received on the iHeartRadio 217 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: app here in. 218 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 2: Just a moment. 219 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: The kind of mental gymnastics that takes place and what 220 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: people buy into when they don't bother to go and 221 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: actually look for the truth. They just assume what they're 222 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: being told is the truth. It's willful ignorance. Katie Pavlich, 223 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: launching her new show on News Nations, sat down with 224 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and asked him a had a number 225 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: of different issues, including what's been taking place regarding fraud, 226 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: including the Insurrection Act. I'll have that audio for you 227 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: as well, and we'll get to those dueling press conferences 228 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: between federal law enforcement officials and Minnesota law enforcement officials. 229 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: It's all coming up on Twin Cities News Talk. 230 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 11: Now. 231 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: Surely those subpoenas that came down yesterday did not come 232 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,359 Speaker 1: as a surprise to those. 233 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 2: That received them. 234 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Mayors of the Twin Cities Ellison Walls, they knew this 235 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: was coming, which puts an interesting spend in context on 236 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls and this statement he put out yesterday. 237 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: He continues to be largely absent from everything that's taking 238 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: place right now, which is revealing when you consider that 239 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: he said he dropped out of running for a third 240 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: term because he needed to focus on being the governor 241 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: of the state of Minnesota. And yet in the midst 242 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: of Minnesota being in the national spotlight in a way 243 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: that I don't think this state has ever been. Correct 244 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, leave me a talkback or eight 245 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: four four nine four six five eight five to five 246 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: here on Twin Cities News Talk. 247 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: My name is John Justice, and tell me. 248 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: If there has ever been this much attention via the 249 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: federal government's news media on Minnesota in your lifetime. And 250 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: you would think the Governor Tim Walls would be a 251 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: constant presidence in front of the cameras, And yet he 252 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: delivers this incredibly irresponsible speech last week about one week 253 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: ago tonight, which may have been part of the rationale 254 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: of the subpoena, and then yesterday criticized the federal government 255 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: in a written statement urging Trump to visit Minnesota, saying 256 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: the administration would see communities from all walks of life 257 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: working together despite recent unrest. This is what Walls wrote, 258 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: Mister President, Minnesota invites you to see our values in action. 259 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Come see how our communities from all walks of life 260 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: are working together, How the spirit of the state refuses 261 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: to be defined by the divisions of fear. Yes, Trump 262 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: come here, just like well, the rest of the administration 263 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: is coming Trump's and Davos right now. But yes, see 264 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: how Ice is being obstructed. See the protesters in sub 265 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: zero temperatures tossing water. 266 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: On ICE agents. So I mean, the list goes on 267 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: and on. 268 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: He went on to say, a mother is dead and 269 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: the people responsible have yet to be held accountable. That's 270 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: where the energy of the federal government should be directed 271 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: toward restoring trust and accountability, real law and order, not 272 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: political retaliation. The state of Minnesota will not be drawn 273 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: into political fear. The Justice Department investigations sparked by calls 274 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: for accountability in the face of a violence, chaos, and 275 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: the killing of Renee Good does not seek justice. 276 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: Wall said. 277 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Minnesotan's won peace and safety, not baseless legal tactics aimed 278 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: at intimidating public servants standing shoulders to shoulder with their community. 279 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Minnesota will not be intimidated into silence, and neither will I. 280 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Wallas. You don't speak for all of us. 281 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: Your one Minnesota is a bunch of garbage. And you 282 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: know that I personally want to see the Insurrection Act invoked. 283 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: It should have happened last week. 284 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: And I know that when it comes to the altercations 285 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: with Ice in the public right now, things have calmed 286 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: down a bit, but that's only because of the weather. 287 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: And if these arrests do come down, as Christinomes stated, 288 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: and the subpoena ends up yielding results that a lot 289 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: of us are looking for, I expect that unrest to continue. 290 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: But there's a reason why you have Attorney General Pambondi, 291 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: you have Christine no more than likely today, and JD. 292 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: Van's arriving in Minnesota tomorrow. 293 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm all for it, because you 294 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: don't speak for me, and you don't speak for the 295 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: majority of the friends of the show that are sick 296 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: and tired of the Democrat leadership and digitators on the street, 297 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: well funded by radical Marxist organizations pushing back on law enforcement, 298 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: getting the worst of the worst off our streets. And 299 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: Trump highlighted this yesterday during that White House Press briefing, 300 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: pulling out page after page of the violent criminal background 301 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: of the thousands that have been arrested here in Minnesota. 302 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: And I haven't even gotten to the fact that Christi 303 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: Nomes stated yesterday in an interview with News Nation that 304 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: Walls and Fry may have let some almost five hundred 305 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: criminals back onto the streets. 306 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a moment. 307 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of News Nation, Katie Pavlich, launching her brand new 308 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: nightly show, had a chance to sit down with Trump 309 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: wherein they talked about Minnesota. Here's what Trump had to 310 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: say with Katie last night. 311 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 2: I think you have two problems. 312 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 10: Number One, you have nineteen billion ella's worth of stolen money, 313 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 10: at least, I think the number is going to be 314 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 10: a much higher. And you have that in California, you 315 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 10: have it in another state. So also, I believe you 316 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 10: when you go through that's a big problem. And then 317 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 10: you have the agitators anarchists. You know, I watched sort 318 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 10: of everything. I see it all, and I see people screaming, shame, shame. 319 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 10: You know. This is not people that are like living 320 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 10: in Minnesota. These are professional paid people. They're like actors. 321 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 10: I mean, I watched the guy last night in the church. 322 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 10: He was and not just Don Lemon. Don Lemon's a loser, 323 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 10: but I watched the guy last night in the church. 324 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 10: This guy's a professional guy, and he actually admits to it. 325 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 10: He gets paid a lot of money to go and 326 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 10: cause trouble. 327 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: And you see that. 328 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 10: What they don't see is that ice skins rid of murderers, 329 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 10: drug dealers, Trinde Ragua. I mean, the worst gang in 330 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 10: the world, anywhere in the world MS thirteen twenty. These 331 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 10: are the worst gangs. And they get rid of them, 332 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 10: they take them out, and I say something's wrong when 333 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 10: a place like Minnesota, which is good place, it's got 334 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 10: a horrible governor, it's got horrible people. Elon Omar, it's horrible. 335 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 10: I mean, she comes from a country that doesn't even 336 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 10: have a government, they have nothing, and she comes here 337 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 10: and she lectures us as the constitution, she's got constitutional rights. 338 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 10: She's just horrible. Somebody says she's worth thirty million dollars. Well, 339 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 10: therefore he's obviously a very dishonest person and she should 340 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 10: be looked at for that. 341 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: So you have a couple of things. 342 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 10: You have the money thing, and then you have the 343 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 10: all of the fake nonsense going on and screaming the people. 344 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 10: They're so professional they hold their cameras up high. And 345 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 10: it's a terrible thing going on in Minnesota. 346 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: Well, and I want to mention going back, I have 347 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: another clip of Katie and Trump that I'll share with 348 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: you later on this morning here on Twin City's News Talk. 349 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: Also want to remind you that former Sideline reporter friend 350 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: of the show Michelle Tafoya, yesterday had filed to run 351 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: for Senate. She will be joining us in a half 352 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: hour from now, top of the eight o'clock hour. 353 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: Michelle Tafoya will be joining us. 354 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what we're going to talk about, but 355 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: Sho'll be on with this at eight o'clock point. I 356 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: wanted to make about walls though, and that statement he 357 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: put out yesterday in his absence in the midst of 358 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: all this controversy. Despite that speech, one week ago, he 359 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 1: dropped out of running for a third term because he 360 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: said he needed to focus on the state of Minnesota, 361 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: which clearly he isn't doing, meaning that the running a 362 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: campaign would be a distraction, which is a bogus statement. 363 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's in the best position as governor to 364 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: run for a term for office. He just basically continue 365 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: to do your job. You just go out and speak 366 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: in front of people. I just this isn't difficult. I 367 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: can see if let's say Amy Klobishar were to announce 368 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: that she's going to launch her gubernatorial bid, maybe even 369 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: coming up this week in man Cato at the Agriculture Show, 370 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: I could see a situation where Governor Tim Walls does 371 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: decide to resign and he says, I have to now 372 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: because all I don't want to continue to be a distraction. 373 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: The subpoena and the onslaught coming from the Trump administration 374 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: is keeping me from doing my job. I need to 375 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: let other individuals who can focus on and handle it 376 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: for me. In which case you would see Lieutenant Governor 377 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: Peggy flanning and become governor. She'd be focused on her 378 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: Senate campaign. Speaking of which, but then Amy Klobashark could 379 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: easily step in and sort of become the de facto 380 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: governor for the time being, sort of guiding Peggy flann again. 381 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: That's my. 382 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: Theory. We'll see if it plays out coming up. Homeland 383 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: Security officials say three thousand arrests haven't made over the 384 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: past six weeks. In a press conference, law enforcement here 385 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: in Minnesota held another press conference, dueling press conference pleading 386 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: for federal agents to stop their racial profiling. 387 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: The differences between these two press conferences. 388 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: The lack of context, vague details, and anecdotes versus facts 389 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: tells you all you need to know about. Well for 390 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: me personally, who I'm currently believing with regard to the 391 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: ice enforcement taking place here in Minnesota. I'll share with 392 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: you my thoughts and we'll get back to more of yours. 393 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: From the iHeartRadio app. Coming up on Twinsday's News Talk. 394 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 12: Good Morning, Great Show was always John Say. I think 395 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 12: Walls's attorneys had told him to zip it because every 396 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 12: time he opens his mouth he gets himself in more trouble. Interesting, 397 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 12: this guy is guilty as guilty gets and they know it. 398 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: Have a good day. 399 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: Well, what's really interesting is, as I mentioned yesterday, I 400 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: went and did Fox News on Monday night and was 401 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: informed that Minneapolis man maybe me or Mom Jeans, Jacob 402 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Fry had like done every conceivable show, like over a dozen, 403 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: putting out all this false information, just trying to shift 404 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: the narrative, spreading his propaganda, which would provide the Justice 405 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: Department certainly an abundance of audio and comments which could 406 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: lead to these subpoenas that have been delivered and to 407 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: these prominent Minnesota Democrats is Twin City's News Talk. My 408 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: name is John Justice. Glad you're with the show this 409 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: morning again. Michelle Tafoya is going to be joining us 410 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: right at the top of the hour. Yesterday she filed 411 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: a run for Senate, so I don't know what we'll 412 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: talk about this morning, but she'll be joining us today 413 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. All right, let's go here. I want 414 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: to get to these dueling press conferences. Yesterday I had 415 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 1: a handful of audio to share, both from the Federal 416 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: Law Enforcement Border Patrol commander having a press conference on 417 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: the results of the arrests that they've been making over 418 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: the past six weeks, and then law enforcement held a 419 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: press conference pleading for federal agents to stop the racial profiling. 420 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: And it really is the tale of two different parties, 421 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: one that wants to be incredibly vague, doesn't want to 422 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: provide context in their claims and criticism, another that is 423 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: completely willing to show all of the relevant information and 424 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: provide clarity to the criticism that's being put forward by 425 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: those on the left. Before we do that, though, let's 426 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: go back to the iHeartRadio app. Your talkbacks are brought 427 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: to you by Lindahl Realty. 428 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 13: Good morning, mister John Justice of the Morning show. 429 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: Of this is Jeff Savage Professional. 430 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 13: I would like to say that I was a Trump supporter, 431 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 13: but this is really making me change my mind when 432 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 13: I saw ICE officers arresting US citizens. 433 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: Let me stop there. I'm just going to take this 434 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: point by point. So you saw ICE officers arresting US citizens? Okay, 435 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: do you know the context of those arrests? And where 436 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: do you see those arrest taking place? Because I imagine 437 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: if that was actually true, you would see a lot 438 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: more being made about that in the news media, beyond 439 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: vague accusations lacking the proper context. We'll get into more 440 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: of this. So you say you saw ICE officers arresting 441 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: US citizens. I'd like to know the details. But these 442 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: were just US citizens that had done nothing else wrong. Okay, 443 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: so we got that. 444 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 13: One off duty police officers. 445 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: Let me stop there. So Ice has been arresting off 446 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: duty police officers. 447 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 2: That's happened. 448 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: It's funny, because I did all my prep this morning, 449 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: I didn't see a single news story regarding that. I 450 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: did see the Brooklyn mayor police chief, and we'll play 451 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: the audio coming up him making a comment that off 452 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: duty police officers were having confrontations with ICE, to which 453 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: I have a question. Did those off duty police officers 454 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: let the ICE officials know who they were or were 455 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: they just out there off duty acting like the observers 456 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: and baiting ICE to go and have altercations with them 457 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: in order for them to go and criticize. 458 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 13: Them racially profiling. It has to play profiling American citizens. 459 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 14: I can't. 460 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to address the racially profiling and ethnically profiling 461 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: American citizens here in just a moment, let me complete 462 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: Jeff's comments. 463 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 13: Going to change my mind a little bit. I think 464 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 13: that they should be rained in a little bit. 465 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter they should be rained in well, I mean, 466 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: based off of your claims, I would think they would 467 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: be rained in a lot, because you put forward a 468 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: lot of baseless accusations there and therein lies the problem. 469 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: Before I share with you the audio these press conferences, 470 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: I just want to lay out that the left attempts 471 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: to go and establish their own baseline of lies and misinformation. 472 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: And this is where as I mentioned, the circular reporting 473 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: comes into play. They set their own standard as to 474 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: what you should be concerned about, what you should be 475 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: upset about and that talk back was the perfect example 476 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about, buying in to the new 477 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: baseline of which your anger should derived from. 478 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: And then when these examples pop up, because they. 479 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: Have this baseline of criticism, they can say, see, there's 480 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: an example, and there's an example, and there's an example. 481 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 2: So what do I mean by this? 482 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: Well, the idea that American citizens are being arrested, or 483 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: people that say naturalized as citizens, people with work visas 484 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: are being detained, the why is always left out. 485 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: If that's happening, it's. 486 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: Probably because they've committed other crimes or were uncooperative with authorities, 487 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: as ICE officials were trying to go and arrest criminals. 488 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: And I'll get listen, here's another example of that, like 489 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: legal residents born in the US being dea it's the 490 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: same thing. That's their new baseline. Legal citizens, why are 491 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: they being detained? There was a story yesterday that I 492 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: was initially mistaken, I misspoke of. 493 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 2: And I corrected it in the previous segment. 494 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: But that viral picture of the shirtless dude on the 495 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: front porch, wrapped in a towel in the freezing cold 496 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: being arrested, he was legal but at the time he 497 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: refused to give any sort of ID to the federal 498 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: law enforcement officials. But because he matched the description of 499 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: one of two sex offenders of which they had warrants 500 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: for arrest, one of which allegedly lived in that home, 501 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: they took him into custody because he wasn't being cooperative, 502 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and he was eventually returned. But you're not getting the 503 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: majority of that backstory in the media. You're just getting 504 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: as was parroted by Jeff and others. I don't want 505 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: to completely focus on him, but he provided me the 506 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: example legal citizens are being detained. The issue of ICE 507 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: racial profiling, you can just ignore anybody saying that all 508 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: that means is that a person of color interacted with ICE. 509 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: There's never any context when that criticism is put forward. 510 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: It's the easiest and almost most lazy of all their 511 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: rhetoric and propaganda being spread. ICE randomly asking individuals for 512 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: documents a loaded claim that also ignores the reality of 513 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 1: real life. 514 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: What led to that. 515 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: Federal official asking for ID because that's what it is. 516 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: They say documents to make it seem more egregious. But 517 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: this happens all the time. Nobody complains about it. It's 518 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: probably happened to you. Regular law enforcement ask for your 519 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: driver's license. You come face to face with a law 520 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: enforcement officer and there's any sort of altercation or issue 521 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: that needs to be addressed, typically they immediately default, can 522 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: I see your ID so I know who you are? 523 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: That way, if you run off, they know who they're 524 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: dealing with. Why did they run away? And yet to 525 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: the anti ICE leftists, they act as if law enforcement 526 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: never goes and asks for ID. Border Patrol Commander at 527 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: Large Gregory Bovino and ICE Executive Director of Enforcement and 528 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: Removal Operations Marcos Charles spoke about some of the arrests, 529 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: including people they say have been previously arrested for sexual assault, 530 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: rape and violence. 531 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: Let's get to a few of those clips. 532 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: Boveno also spoke about the resistance that they've faced over 533 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, claiming that Governor Tim Walls 534 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye have played a part in 535 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: making it difficult to operate in this environment at times. 536 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: We'll start off here, this is Commander Bovino talking about 537 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: Walls and fry and you know, addressing their heated the 538 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: anti ICE and Border Patrol rhetoric. 539 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 7: For too long, residents have been told that in forcing 540 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 7: our nation's immigration laws undermines public safety. In reality, the 541 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 7: opposite is true. When the laws not enforced, violent offenders 542 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:19,479 Speaker 7: remain free, criminal networks expand, and the community pays the price. 543 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 7: Our neighbors, our citizens, our friends pay the price. Rather 544 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 7: than confront that reality of which I've just spoken, leaders 545 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 7: like Tim Walltz or Mayor Fry have relied on heated 546 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 7: rhetoric and accusations that distract from the facts. 547 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: The Border Commander of Bovino went on to talk about 548 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and Police Chief Brian O'Hara and 549 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: the tactics that they've been using. 550 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 7: Again, our border battel agents, ICE officers and those allied 551 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 7: federal law enforcement agencies are out there conducting title immigration 552 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 7: detitlelate immigration mission. And I'll tell you when you have 553 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 7: a mayor and a police chief O'Hara that say called 554 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 7: nine one one when ICE for border patrols in the neighborhood, 555 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 7: and then they wonder why the nine to one one 556 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 7: system is overwhelmed with superfluous calls for now, with superfluous 557 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 7: calls for assistance, when that is not true. So, uh, 558 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 7: we're going to continue to be out in the community 559 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 7: and we're going to continue to conduct to that mission, 560 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 7: that legal, lawful Title eight mission. And you know, uh again, 561 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 7: I've been out with my bord of aetell agients. H 562 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 7: Marcos is out constantly with his troops. 563 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 2: Good morning, John, Derek from Crookston. 564 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 11: The Left stood by Biden for four years as the 565 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 11: floodgates were open any illegal immigrants poured into the country. 566 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 11: I'll stand by Trump as we arrest the illegal immigrants 567 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 11: and get them out. 568 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: Thank you for the talkback, Derek from the iHeartRadio app. 569 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: Let's go here, John, why are we. 570 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 15: Not emphasizing the fact that this is all being caused 571 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 15: by our sanctuary status. Tom Holman said, if the local 572 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 15: police and the state police would assist ice, they would 573 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 15: go get these people out of jail. He said, if 574 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 15: they have to come into the neighborhoods, whoever they find 575 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 15: next to these guys that they're looking for, if they're 576 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 15: not legal, they're going too. That's why they're going to 577 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 15: because they got to hunt them down. 578 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 14: Hey, John, I have to question the mental acuity of 579 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 14: quote unquote conservatives questioning the citizens being arrested under ICE. 580 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 14: So ridiculous. Yet we're not arresting the politicians. Now, maybe 581 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 14: some are coming today, which would be great out would 582 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 14: but he would think, think if that was really Trump's 583 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 14: em all, I should be all terresting every single Democrat 584 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 14: in the country. 585 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: That's not happening. 586 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 14: Use your mind. 587 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 7: Well, mister Thompson, thanks for the question. We've been in 588 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 7: many cities, as you know. We've been in Los Angeles 589 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 7: and Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans, and now obviously Minneapolis. 590 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: So and this is more from Border Patrol Commander Bovino 591 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: and talking about the organized resistance. And he'll even go 592 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: as so far as you'll hear to talk about the 593 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: potential collusion between the Democrat leadership and the anti ICE agitators. 594 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 7: What we've seen that's a bit different here is the 595 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 7: organization of some of the groups. The groups are a 596 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 7: bit a bit better organized. They've got some excellent communications, 597 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 7: and that coupled with a very poor response from the 598 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 7: mayor and the governor. Those two things, coupled together make 599 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 7: that a difficult operating environment at times. And I stayed 600 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 7: it as a genie operation kind of front in Indiana 601 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 7: in which state and locals, including the governor, the mayors, 602 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 7: the police chief, worked in close concert for us to 603 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,439 Speaker 7: do what my colleague here, Marcus Charles said, and that's 604 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 7: remove violent offenders, bad people, and bad things from the streets. 605 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 7: And in doing that, I had one one active violence 606 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 7: against border patrol, one notable act of violence against border 607 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 7: patrol in a month here. I've lost counts. I've already 608 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 7: lost count of how many I believe we had a 609 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 7: vehicle ramming today. We had one yesterday in which two 610 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 7: illegal aliens decided that it would be a good idea 611 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 7: to ram border patrol agents and then take off, and 612 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 7: in doing so they hit a civilian vehicle as well. 613 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 7: Those two are actually were apprehended. So it's that it's 614 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 7: that collusion and corruption between elected officials and these anarchists 615 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 7: that are intent on creating violence for law enforcement. I 616 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 7: see a lot of this that mirrors what happened in 617 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 7: twenty twenty here right here in this city, when they 618 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 7: decided to try to burn the city down. It's that 619 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 7: same type of rhetoric, that same type of support by 620 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 7: those elected officials. So that's very different than what I 621 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 7: just now. 622 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: I want to juxtapose all this commentary, and I'll share 623 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: with you in just a moment a portion of the 624 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: press conference yesterday. We're in this local law enforcement pleading 625 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: for federal agents to stop racial profiling, working off an 626 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: article from Channel five. Before I do that, I have 627 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: a clip from Christy Nome that's relevant, and I want 628 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: to play this comment from the iHeartRadio app. 629 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 9: Hey, John, law enforcement just randomly stopping citizens is legal. 630 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 15: It's called the terry stops. 631 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 4: Supreme Court has. 632 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 5: Ruled on that, so that just a defeats another argument 633 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 5: that they're trying to use. 634 00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 15: Have a good morning. 635 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: Difficulties that our federal officials are facing because local law 636 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: enforcement has had their hands tied being able to go 637 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: and deal with these issues. During this interview with News 638 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: Nation yesterday where Christy Noames said that we can expect 639 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: arrests regarding the church incident within hours, this is what 640 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: she had to say regarding Tim Walls and Mayor Jacob 641 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: Frye and the individuals that have been put back on 642 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: the streets. 643 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 16: Well, we have a national targeting center that identifies those 644 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 16: who've committed crimes, so they've done something in this country 645 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 16: or in their home country that has been criminal charges 646 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 16: against them, or they've been convicted many times. These individuals 647 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 16: are in jails or prisons in some of our states 648 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 16: already that we just want those local law enforcement officers 649 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 16: to turn over to us. For example, one of the 650 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 16: things we've asked Governor Walls for and Mayor Fry is 651 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 16: to give us just the criminals you have in jail. 652 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 16: They've released four hundred and ninety birders and rapists and 653 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 16: drug traffickers onto their streets rather than just give them 654 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 16: to us. And that's what I don't understand. 655 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 2: Stop up there. 656 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: Yesterday there was another press conference and juxtapose everything that 657 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: you just heard with this Metro area law enforcement leaders 658 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: saying that they've seen a pattern of federal agents accosting 659 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: and racially profiling US citizens. You had Minneapolis State Capital 660 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: Saint Paul Police Chief Actual Henry. You had Hennepin County 661 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: Sheriff I want to wit. You had Brooklyn Park Police 662 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: Chief Mark Brooley. And Mark Brooley is the one that 663 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: leads this the press conference. Listen to this and I'll 664 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: comment on the other side. 665 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 17: Good morning, everyone, I'm Mark Boroly, police Chief of City 666 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,760 Speaker 17: of Brooklyn Park. Behind me is a bunch of amazing 667 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 17: police chiefs that are here in support of a very 668 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 17: short but very important message that we want to share 669 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 17: with you. But you won't hear from many of us 670 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 17: today is a rhetoric of abolish ICE or that there 671 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 17: shouldn't be immigration enforcement. The truth is immigration enforcement is 672 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 17: necessary for national security and for law local security, but 673 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 17: how it's done is extremely important. 674 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: And that was the big setup in this press conference 675 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: yesterday because it evokes an emotion in that moment, Okay, 676 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: we're dealing with somebody irrational. They're actually not pushing back 677 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: on ICE, right you kind of go, oh, look at this. Listen, 678 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: this is somebody who a person within a position of 679 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: power in Minnesota that's actually not using over the top 680 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: rhetoric saying what ICE is doing, not calling them the gestapo. 681 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to call it. 682 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 1: A bait and switch, but it was setting the stage 683 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: so that you would not ask the relevant questions based 684 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: off of the lack of details and the lack of 685 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: context in the criticism that you're about to hear. 686 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 17: In fact, we have a long history of working exceptionally 687 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 17: well with our federal partners, including ICE agents, and we 688 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 17: have seen the best of them perform their job extremely 689 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 17: well in the past. With that said, recently, as the 690 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 17: last two weeks, we as law enforcement community have been 691 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 17: receiving and this complaints about civil rights violations. 692 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: Or any of those legit spoiler alert. You don't get 693 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: the answer in this press conference. People can complain all 694 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: they want. There's been a lot of complaining. I get 695 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: a lot of talkbacks of people complaining. Most of it's 696 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: baseless and not entrenched in any sort of reality. It 697 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: is just people that are just scared because of what 698 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: they've heard. So I'm just curious with all those complaints 699 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: just because there's a bunch of complaints. Fear is a 700 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: choice that people make. 701 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 17: In our streets from US citizens. What we're hearing is 702 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 17: they're being stopped and traffic stops or on the street 703 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 17: with no cause in being forced to demand paperwork to 704 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 17: determine if they are here legally. 705 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 2: I mean they're asked for ID. First off, do you 706 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 2: believe those reports and stories? 707 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: What was the reason why if they're even true, those 708 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: individuals were pulled over. Make no mistake, I absolutely support 709 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: law enforcement, but typically what you get are the individuals 710 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: that are actually on the streets when they're working the 711 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: brave men and women that serve to protect our community. 712 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 2: They're doing one job, wanting to actually do their job. 713 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: And then you get the individuals in the upper echalons 714 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: that are typically appointed to those positions, and usually they're 715 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: appointed by radical leftists and therefore typically aligned with those views. 716 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: This is all just speculation designed to foster more fear 717 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,240 Speaker 1: and more criticism against ICE. 718 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 17: As this went on over the past two weeks, we 719 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 17: started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as 720 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 17: they fell victim to this while off duty. Every one 721 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 17: of these individuals is a person of color who has 722 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 17: had this happen to them. 723 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: Did they let the ICE official know who they were? 724 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: What was the lead in that led to that altercation? 725 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: And back to what I said earlier in the show 726 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: us some common sense. If there are let's just say, 727 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: for the sake of argument, if there are individuals within 728 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: ICE that are racists, that are racially profiling, usually you're 729 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: looking at a few bad actors, not this systemic argument nonsense, 730 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: and typically you would have individuals within law enforcement that 731 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: would point out because they wouldn't want to make themselves 732 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: look bad. 733 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 2: But I questioned the validity of most of these claims. 734 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 11: In Brooklyn Park. 735 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 17: One particular officer that shared her story with me was 736 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,439 Speaker 17: stopped as she passed ice going down the roadway. When 737 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 17: they boxed her in, they demanded her paperwork, of which 738 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 17: she's a US citizen and clearly would not have any paperwork. 739 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 17: When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way 740 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 17: she was being sure, she pulled out her phone in 741 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 17: an attempt to record the incident. The phone was knocked 742 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 17: out of her hands. 743 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: Because that's a natural reaction to go and do right again. 744 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: What happened? Was there a gesture? Was something yelled? 745 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 1: Was there something that took place prior to the moment 746 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: in which the Brooklyn Police chief here described no details 747 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: given juxtaposed that based off of the relevant factual and 748 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: filled with details and information that was given in the 749 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: previous press conference with the federal law enforcement agents. 750 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 17: Prevented her from recording it. The officer had their guns 751 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 17: drawn during this interaction, and after the officer became so concerned, 752 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 17: they were forced to identify themselves as a brook and 753 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 17: Pork police officer in hopes of slowing the incident and 754 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 17: de escalating the incident down. 755 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 2: Why didn't they do that? In the first place. 756 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 17: Agents then immediately left after hearing this, making no other comments, 757 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 17: no other apologies, just got in their vehicles and left. 758 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 17: I wish I could tell you that this was an 759 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,240 Speaker 17: isolated instant. In fact, many of the chiefs standing behind 760 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 17: me have similar instants with their op duty officers. This 761 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 17: isn't just important because it happened to our duty police officers. 762 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 17: But what it did do is we know that our 763 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 17: officers know what the constitution is, they know what right 764 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 17: and wrong is, and they know when people are being targeted, 765 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 17: and that's what they were. If it is happening to 766 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 17: our officers, it pains me to think how many of 767 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,479 Speaker 17: our community members are falling victim to this every day. 768 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 2: There it has to stop. 769 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: There was an interesting couching right there. He said, if 770 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: this is happening to our officers. I thought that he 771 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: just said it was happening to his officers. So is 772 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 1: he even questioning the claims of his own officers in 773 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: those statements? Again, I support law enforcement, but there's a 774 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: big difference between vague, lacking in context, allegations designed to 775 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: paint a picture, and the actual facts, in specific details 776 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: coming from our federal law enforcement officers, don't take any 777 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: of this stuff at face value. Former NFL reporter Michelle 778 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 1: Tafoya files paperwork for Minnesota Senate race, and she'll be 779 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: joining us next on Twin City's News Talk Don't Go Anywhere.
