1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Did Tim Walls actually say that there are no Somalians

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: in the Epstein files?

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: How does he know that? Has he read the Epstein files?

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: I doubt it? And what does that have to do

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: with fraud.

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: He's a fraud enough of the Epstein garbage people.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 4: Continues to tell lies about our electoral system, claiming that

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 4: he's won all three times when he lost all three times.

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 4: I think he has people around him who were trying

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 4: to find quotas around immigration and they saw a perfect storm,

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 4: if you will, that included some Somali folks and a

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: whole lot. You know, we're we're going to condemn folks.

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: There's no Somali folks in the Epstein files.

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 5: He's just a hack. That's really all it comes down to.

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: He's just He's just a hack. He's a pull polytical creature,

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 5: like so many of them. Earlier this week, it was

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 5: playing a clip from Representative illhan Omar and I had

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 5: a very similar thought. Right, I don't respect these individuals.

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 5: I don't agree with their ideologies. They lie all the time,

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 5: But we also tend to classify the various politicians I

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 5: loved and right, this is not party exclusive by any stretch.

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 5: You know as some people being less bright than others,

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 5: some people more beholden to radical ideologies than others. And

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 5: even if we don't respect certain politicians, you know, sometimes

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: you give them more credit than their due. And I

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 5: came to that conclusion with ilhan Omar. I think there

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 5: is a level there where we remove her out of

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: the more kooky and wacky segment of the Democrat Party,

29
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: like your representative Jasmine Crocketts. But the reality is no,

30
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 5: they're all clowns. James tell Erico snake oil salesman. He's

31
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: just a different version of what Jasmine Crockett is, a

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 5: more dangerous version. I honestly think that guy's evil. There's something,

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: There's something going on not right upstairs. Jasmin krock is

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: just an idiot, AOC similar, but Representative bil han omer

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 5: actually gets too much credit. I think she's probably just

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 5: as dumb as AOC and Governor Tim Walls, to my point,

37
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 5: he's just a buffoon. He's a hack partisan activist. I

38
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 5: don't even want to call him a politician anymore. I's

39
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 5: get to a few more of your thoughts, and I

40
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: want to play the last few remaining clips from that

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 5: House Committee hearing wearing Governor Tim Walls and Keith Ellison

42
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 5: testified yesterday in Congress.

43
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 6: I find it interesting that Walls for years now has

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 6: told us that every kid in Minnesota has a full belly.

45
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 6: Kids have full bellies, but he can't tell us how

46
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 6: many kids live in Minnesota.

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 7: Unreal.

48
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 5: Well, in this comment here, thank you for the talkback.

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: But this one here I thought was interesting because they're

50
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: absolutely right, and the point that I missed.

51
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: It was very interesting that when he had didn't know

52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: any numbers from when Republicans would ask him questions, but

53
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: every time a Democrat some question, boy, he had every

54
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: single number there was.

55
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: Minnesota Attorney Keith Attorney General Keith Ellison denied knowing the

56
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 5: three fraudsters he met with had helped commit fraud in

57
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: the state. Here is the exchange between the Attorney General

58
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 5: and Representative Andy Biggs yesterday in Congress.

59
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 8: Do you know Salim said that name is not familiar

60
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 8: to me. Akron Muhammad No, I'm sure, Omar no. Okay,

61
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 8: so uh in twenty twenty one, you met with a

62
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 8: group of small of Somali's business people.

63
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: Those three people were there.

64
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 9: Safari Restaurant Partners in Quality Care also known as parties

65
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 9: and nutrition some of their name partners and feeding our

66
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 9: future representatives, including I'm sher Omar, who said they were

67
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 9: having difficulties because they were being investigated and that conduct

68
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 9: is very racist, xenophobic and islamophobic.

69
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: Do you remember that meeting? Yes?

70
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 10: I do, and I'll tell you that these are people

71
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 10: who were fraudsters. They lied to me, they lied to

72
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 10: the judge, and they lied to state agencies and well,

73
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 10: let's that's why we contributed to them being convicted.

74
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: Well, oh yeah, Now Ellison's the victim in all this.

75
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 11: Right, So Tim Wall is actually claiming that there's broad

76
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 11: electoral system. If he's saying that Trump lost all three times,

77
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 11: that'd be Walls saying that there's system.

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I listen.

79
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: I didn't comment on it, but I picked up on that.

80
00:04:59,720 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: You.

81
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 5: I thought it was really strange. I didn't have the

82
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 5: entirety of the context of.

83
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: The clip.

84
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 5: Where Walls went and said this because I didn't quite

85
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 5: understand what he was unless what you're saying here is

86
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 5: what he was.

87
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: Meaning, continues to tell lies about our electoral system, claiming

88
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: that he's won all three times when he lost all

89
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: three times.

90
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, if you wanted to make that claim,

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: you would just do the The second one was Joe Biden, Right.

92
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if he misspoke or if that's actually

93
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: what he was claiming.

94
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: WHOA hold the phone, Hold the phone?

95
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 11: If Walls just said Trump claimed that there's progeny electoral system,

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 11: saying he won all three times, and then Walls go

97
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 11: and says, no, he lost all three times. Well, if

98
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 11: he lost all three times he's been in office twice,

99
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 11: then there, I guess I would still be frogging I do.

100
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: I don't want to give Walls any credit where it's

101
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 5: not due. I'm just wondering if he misspoke or if

102
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 5: what he actually meant.

103
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: You know what.

104
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: They don't worry about it, guys, because I'm sure that

105
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 5: once Governor Tim Walls is back in and talking to

106
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 5: media here in Minnesota, I'm sure there'd be a press

107
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: conference soon.

108
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: I have no doubt that.

109
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 5: We'll end up seeing our you know, local media ask

110
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 5: him to clarify that clip that I just played for you.

111
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: I just no, you know thing. You don't think that's

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 5: gonna you know thing that's gonna happen. No, Well, you

113
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 5: have little faith.

114
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: You're fascinating to talk to yeah, I.

115
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: Know, all right, let's go here. Representative Fallon. This is

116
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: one of my one of my favorite moments. It's completely

117
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: irrelevant to the to what was taking place with fraud,

118
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 5: and I'd rather not time be wasted during hearings like this.

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 5: I'd rather get to things of substance. That being said,

120
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 5: it was really funny.

121
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 12: And you know, Miss Chairman, I don't know if you

122
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 12: know this, but it's widely It's been widely reported that

123
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 12: in two thousand and eight, when Barack Obama was choosing

124
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 12: his vice presidential candidate, he had.

125
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: A three criteria.

126
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 12: He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn't

127
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 12: as smart as him and had less talent and charisma

128
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 12: and couldn't possibly outshine him, So we picked Joe Biden.

129
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 12: And then Joe Biden in twenty twenty used the exact

130
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 12: same criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody

131
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 12: went as smart as him, had less talent in charisma,

132
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 12: and would outshine him, and he picked Amala here and

133
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 12: then in twenty twenty four, Governor, I think is very

134
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 12: evident why Kamala Harris picked you the talent pool is Chairman,

135
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 12: Miss chairman, the talent pool in just shallow brother.

136
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: We have hit the shore and I youel back again.

137
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 5: I'd rather see the time spend on things that are relevant.

138
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: But that was that was pretty funny.

139
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: All right.

140
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 5: We have clarification as to what Walls was talking about. Now,

141
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 5: I feel better or not not bringing it up before

142
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: because I figured it was a mistake. I didn't think

143
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 5: about this and I probably.

144
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: Should have during the hearing.

145
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: It was later clarified that he meant he lost in

146
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: the statement is so bad.

147
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: There you go, all right, that makes more sense. Wels

148
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 5: is still an idiot. All right, one more clip. I'll

149
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: share this with you.

150
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: Coming up.

151
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: Representative Tom Emmer grilling Keith Elison. Then we'll get into this.

152
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: It's highly unlikely that any of the Democrat priorities around

153
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: immigration enforcement will be able to pass this.

154
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: Session, and it shouldn't.

155
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: The DFL is trying to make as much hay gain

156
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 5: as much leftist political capital as possible over Operation Metro Surge,

157
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 5: and thankfully, because we do have a divided House split

158
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 5: evenly down the middle, it looks like the DFL's proposed

159
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: to limit ice have already stalled.

160
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: So there's a bit of a bit of good news.

161
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: I'll update you as.

162
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 5: Well on that Minnesota DHS worker that had keyed and

163
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 5: inflicted some twenty thousand dollars in damage to six vehicles

164
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: made by Elon Musk and the all the such the

165
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 5: stiff penalty that they received. It's all coming up on

166
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one h three

167
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 5: five FM.

168
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: During the House.

169
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 5: Committee hearing yesterday on Minnesota fraud Representative Tom Emmer and

170
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 5: his statement to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. We'll talk

171
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 5: with Tom Emmer tomorrow live on the show for a

172
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: Freedom Friday.

173
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 10: Do you know I have addressed this issue many times, all.

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: Right, reclaiming my time.

175
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 13: In that same meeting with the fraudsters, Mister Attorney General,

176
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 13: you took aim at the Minnesota to Apartment of Education.

177
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: You stated that the.

178
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 13: Minnesota Department of Education had fought the nonprofit in very

179
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 13: disgusting ways, in a very racist, xenophobic.

180
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: And islamophobic manner.

181
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 13: You actually asked for the names of all these folks

182
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 13: who are just hung up and offered to call the

183
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 13: Minnesota Department of Education to quote demand some explanations. We

184
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 13: now know that when you made these comments, the Biden

185
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 13: DOJ was working with the Minnesota Department of Education and

186
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 13: that their work exposed the massive fraud ring. Pretty bad

187
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 13: look for you, sir. Either you were oblivious to what

188
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 13: was going on under your nose, or worse, you were

189
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 13: trying to obstruct the work of the Minnesota Department of Education.

190
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 13: So I can see the time is getting short, mister Chairman.

191
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 2: We are left with two questions.

192
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 13: One what did Governor Walls and Keith Ellison know about

193
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 13: the fraud? And two when did they actually know it?

194
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 13: I would suggest that if they do not give direct

195
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 13: and truthful answers to both these questions at this hearing,

196
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 13: then they both need to be put under oath in

197
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 13: a deposition. This is a serious thing, mister Attorney General.

198
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: You're the only one.

199
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 13: Who thinks protecting taxpayer dollars is political.

200
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: Mister Ellison, my concern.

201
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 13: Is that you actively obstructed this investigation in exchange for

202
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 13: campaign donations a quid pro quo. If these concerns are

203
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 13: proven to be true, you should be disbarred and you

204
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 13: should go to jail.

205
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: I yield back, Kileman, yields back.

206
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 4: Shared I recognized as Miss Norton from Washington.

207
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 14: D C. Thank you missus Herman, it is critical that

208
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 14: the federal government support people who need assistance with food, housing,

209
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 14: and healthcare. Unfortunately, as long as the government provides these services,

210
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 14: there will be bad actors to take advantage all of them.

211
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just.

212
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: A byproduct, guys, It's just a byproduct. You know, when

213
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: the you know, the government is so they're so giving,

214
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 5: they're so helpful, so generous with my tax dollars and

215
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 5: your tax dollars, you know, and when you're that generous, you're.

216
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: Just going to get taken advantage of. I don't know

217
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: what the big deal is.

218
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 5: As expected, the response Operation metro Surge, according to a

219
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: piece that I have in front of me from Carol Leven,

220
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 5: has a shape to much of the discussion in the

221
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 5: early days of the Minnesota twenty twenty sixth legislative session.

222
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 5: Maybe okay, maybe as expected, but it shouldn't.

223
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: There are other issues to deal with.

224
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 5: All you had were federal law enforcement agents carrying out

225
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 5: the letter of the law.

226
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

227
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 5: It only became an issue because a bunch of idiots

228
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 5: decided to go out and get.

229
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: In the way of that.

230
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: The broken in, the brainwashed, bought into, supported, promoted exacerbated

231
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 5: the false narratives coming from the Democrat leadership in the state. Thankfully,

232
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 5: on Tuesday this week, House DFL members failed to advance

233
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 5: two bills related to immigration enforcement after Republicans voted in

234
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: an opposition during a Public Safety finance policy committee. I'm

235
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 5: not going to bother getting into the bills. They're a

236
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: waste of time. They're not going to move through. They

237
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 5: were nothing more than a means for the Democrats to

238
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 5: attempt to continue to try to make something out of

239
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: Operation Metro Surge. And we're still seeing this happen, as

240
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 5: we talked about yesterday on the show. If you missed it,

241
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: check out the podcast available on the iHeartRadio app. You

242
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 5: even have one of the most left leaning news outlets

243
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 5: doing extensive expose reporting on how trying to figure out

244
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: the fiscal the economic impact of Operation Metro Surge is

245
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: akin to doing math on the back of a napkin.

246
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 5: You simply can't come.

247
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: Up with it.

248
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 5: And in that reporting, not once do they bring up

249
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 5: the fact that this was all almost ninety nine point

250
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 5: nine percent self and inflicted. Now, there was some House

251
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: GOP priorities regarding immigration enforcement, and that is the revival

252
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,119
Speaker 5: of a bill h F sixteen, which would ban sanctuary

253
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: counties and cities in Minnesota and set uniform standards for

254
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 5: law enforcement to share information with ICE. Republicans attempted to

255
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: move this legislation in twenty twenty five, Democrats wielded their

256
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 5: own influence in the tide House and block the bill.

257
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 5: GOP Representative Max Rymer, who will be in studio with

258
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 5: us tomorrow, sponsor of the bill, said he plans to

259
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: bring up the legislation again and committee, and told care

260
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: Levin he's attempted to reach across the aisle to find

261
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 5: common ground. In the end, though, it's unlikely that any

262
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 5: of the Democratic or Republican priorities on immigration enforcement will

263
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 5: be able to to move forward, at least not until

264
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 5: the November twenty twenty six elections determine the next legislator

265
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 5: legislature's balance of power. Just another example of how important

266
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 5: that is going to be.

267
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: Coming up.

268
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: Speaking of law enforcement and ICE, several members of the

269
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: Minneapolis City Council pressed the police Chief, Brian O'Hara yesterday

270
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 5: on why the police didn't do more about the conduct

271
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 5: of federal agents during the twelve week federal immigration surge. Okay,

272
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: so we'll get into the details next. Your talk Back

273
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 5: of the Day is on the way as well. But

274
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: just to be clear, this is how ridiculous and why

275
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 5: I called them the City Council because there are a

276
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: bunch of clowns. They put forward their own directives supported

277
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 5: by Minneapolis man baby mayor Mom Jeans Jacob fry to

278
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: say that local law enforcement cannot assist or work with

279
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 5: federal law enforcement agencies. And now they're ticked off because

280
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: law enforcement didn't go in their minds and pushed back

281
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: on the federal law enforcement agencies as if they wanted

282
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 5: Minneapolis police to go to war with the federal government.

283
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: I'll give you the details next we'll get to your

284
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 5: comments as well. Talkback of the Day brought to you

Speaker 5: before the end of the show. Brought to you by

296
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 5: Minni Leaf and minileaf dot Com. Several members of the

297
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 5: Minneapolis City clownseil yesterday, according to an article from the

298
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 5: Star Tribune Press, the police Chief Brian O'Hara on why

299
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 5: he didn't do more about the conduct of federal agents

300
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: during the twelve week federal immigration surge. During a committee

301
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 5: meeting of the entire council, Several members question why police

302
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 5: didn't attempt to prevent what was widely seen as excessive

303
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 5: force and reckless use of chemical munitions by Immigration and

304
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 5: Border Patrol agents, but also why MPD took other actions

305
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: as dismantling makeshift street barricades erected by residents.

306
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: It is all so ridiculous.

307
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 5: See, this is going off the assumption what the City

308
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 5: Council is doing here is they're saying that in their minds,

309
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 5: it's a given that ICE agents acted beyond their authority,

310
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 5: acted unconstitutionally, acted unlawfully. They that's their baseline premise. So

311
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: because that's their baseline premise. They're now saying, we're upset

312
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 5: that you didn't go and do anything about all of

313
00:18:51,880 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 5: these What are assumptions subjectively speaking? And why if you

314
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: didn't go and hold Ice accountable, which we believe you

315
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: should have. Talking as a Minneapolis City council member, why

316
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 5: is it that you went and disrupted what the agitators

317
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: were doing?

318
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 13: It?

319
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 5: Really, you know, it really is just that stupid, and

320
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: my apologies for not putting it on. The never ending

321
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: parade is stupid to begin with. Minneapolis Man Baby may

322
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 5: or Mom Jeans. Jacob Fry noted that the federal force

323
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: vastly outnumbered local and state law enforcement and was better armed.

324
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 5: A true confrontation could lead to an actual warfare in

325
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 5: the streets.

326
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: He warned that.

327
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: Was his excuse instead of going the route that he

328
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: should have gone and said, well, listen, they're out conducting

329
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 5: law enforcement efforts.

330
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: And we're not seeing.

331
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 5: Them acting unconstitutionally or breaking the law, so therefore we're

332
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: not going to intervene. No, he takes their out of well,

333
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: you know what, those guys they're better armed. There's a

334
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 5: lot more of them, which also doesn't make sense because

335
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 5: wasn't it the leftists that were saying that they were

336
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 5: all untrained and shouldn't have been out there doing the

337
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: job in the first place because of all that lack of.

338
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: Training that took place.

339
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: So it seems to me, if that's the case, that

340
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 5: this would have been an easy opponent to tackle. Oh

341
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 5: Haara described the situation as at catch twenty two. He

342
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 5: said the city has an ordinance that bars police from

343
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 5: assisting with federal immigration enforcement, so officers could not even

344
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 5: be deployed unless there was violence, life threatening situations, or

345
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 5: destruction of property. Basically saying, you know what, it's your

346
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 5: guys's fault that you wanted us to do that, but

347
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: you weren't even allowing us to be out there anyhow.

348
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 5: He says, however, we all feel doing nothing with my

349
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: fingers about Operation Metro Surge. US Customs and Border Enforcement

350
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 5: and Border Patrol are lawful government agencies, and MPD cannot

351
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 5: prevent their agents from enforcing federal law unless they witness

352
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 5: a gregeous behavior, and since the city's ordinance a band's

353
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 5: police officers from helping ice, they often weren't on the

354
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 5: scene to witness federal agents conducting themselves as.

355
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: It was happening.

356
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 5: Duh, that's a statement that I could have come up

357
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 5: with on the show. Leave it to the Minneapolis City

358
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: Colouncil to make the police Chief Brian O'Hara sound coherent.

359
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 5: A clowncil member, II should chug tie, asked at one

360
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 5: point during the meeting, So everyday people should just do

361
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 5: that with their bodies and whistles.

362
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: Again, the premise here is what's wrong.

363
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: The premise here is that they are acting as if

364
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 5: it is just a given that Ice was acting inappropriately

365
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 5: and that somebody needs to push back on them. I mean, listen,

366
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: it's pure propaganda. I say it a lot because it's

367
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 5: relevant and it's true.

368
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: Police were also in another bind.

369
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 5: They were being called on by residents and some city

370
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 5: leaders to arrest federal agents. They were also being accused

371
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 5: by the Trump administration of not doing enough to stop

372
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 5: people from assaulting and impeding federal agents. Basically, the Minneapolis

373
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: City Council wanted local law enforcement to act like the

374
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 5: agitators on the street. I mean they wanted them to

375
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 5: go to war. There's a word for that, it's insurrection.

376
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: I think.

377
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 5: Oh, but you can't say that unless you want to

378
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: get a lot of attention from Democrats online. Several council

379
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 5: members pressed O'Hara on why his department was only looking

380
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 5: into two possible cases that they agents breaking the law,

381
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: given that the chief had said in December that officers

382
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 5: could be fired for nonvening if they saw federal agents

383
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 5: use excessive force. Could it be the Minneapolis Police didn't

384
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 5: see federal agents using excessive force.

385
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: That's a possibility, right.

386
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: O'Haras said that he has a clear expectation, even though

387
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 5: he fully expected his officers to be in handcuffs arrested

388
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 5: by federal agents if they did so, given how the

389
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 5: federal crackdown played out, But it didn't mean we were

390
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 5: not prepared or willing to do that. Council member Jason

391
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 5: Chavez said he was disappointed that the police did not intervene. Oh,

392
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 5: it makes me happy that he's said. He said he

393
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 5: was disappointed because of the countless incidents that took place,

394
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 5: but O'Hara said there was no single incident where it

395
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 5: would have been possible for MPD officers to intervene based

396
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 5: on the state's duty to Intervene statute, which requires officers

397
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 5: to take action if they they see egregious, unlawful use

398
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 5: of force and are physically able to take action. So

399
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 5: it's a complicated situation. It's difficult to prove a crime

400
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 5: occurred when federal agents are operating under a different laws

401
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: and rules, but he said his department would be happy

402
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 5: to look into specific if incidents provided times, dates and places. Overall,

403
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: O'Hara ohara, which either way it goes, I don't care.

404
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 5: He was pleased with MPD's response to the surge, even

405
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 5: though it wasn't perfect. He admitted the department could have

406
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: better handled the hotel protest when most officers were on

407
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 5: their eighteenth day on duty and the department wasn't able

408
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 5: to get officers there fast enough. They arrived to find

409
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: federal agents leaving the hotel with guns pointing in the

410
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 5: direction of the protesters. MPD disengaged and came back later.

411
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 5: He said, if we never had the sanctuary policies in

412
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 5: the first place, if you had local law enforcement working

413
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 5: with the federal agents, this operation would have been done sooner.

414
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: There would have been no issues regarding the agitators on

415
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: the street. Did they didn't even show up, you wouldn't

416
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 5: have had a problem to begin with. But if you

417
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 5: had local law enforcement, they could have easily set up

418
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 5: a perimeter to allow the observers doing nothing with my

419
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: fingers to be on the sidelines, watching and actually observing,

420
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 5: rather than impeding what I stations were doing.

421
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: And you know what, lives probably could have been saved.

422
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: That's the real tragedy in all of this.

423
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 5: Is how many lives were lost that didn't need to

424
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 5: be because of the policies that Democrats put forward. The

425
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 5: last little point on this, what I just laid out,

426
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 5: is why ranked choice voting is a horrible way to

427
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 5: go and elect politicians, because that's how you end up

428
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 5: with a bunch of clowns serving on the Minneapolis City Council,

429
00:25:54,080 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 5: a bunch of socialists they hadn't been und The Attorney's

430
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 5: office is no better looking at our two tier system

431
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 5: of justice. We have an update to the state employee

432
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 5: who admitted to vandalizing several tesla's in Minneapolis over a

433
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 5: brief span last year. So earlier, when we were talking

434
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 5: about the hearing taking place in DC with Walls and

435
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: Ellison right and the fraud, several comments made you via

436
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: the talkbacks. I made them as well about how the

437
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 5: conduct of Ellison and Walls in their respective roles as

438
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 5: Attorney General and governor. It just doesn't fly in the

439
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 5: real world working for a business, working for some other

440
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 5: corporate entity sports, for example, like nothing close to what

441
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 5: has transpired within the Democrat government here in Minnesota. Whatever

442
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 5: fly in the real world. And this rings true in

443
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 5: this story here because this guy who again vaned several

444
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 5: teslas over multiple days, he received a one day suspension

445
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 5: from his job for his actions. He was spared from

446
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 5: prosecution in favor of a diversion program. I saw somebody

447
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: actually attempting to defend this clown. Somebody had posted this

448
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: story online saying he only got one day suspended for

449
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 5: key multiple teslas and causing thousands of dollars in damages.

450
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 5: And somebody went, you didn't mention he went through a

451
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 5: diversion program and he had to apologize. You apparently had

452
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: to pay back for the damage. Put in another way,

453
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 5: if I go out into the parking lot, and like

454
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 5: when I arrive here at the morning, there's a handful

455
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: of other individuals that are here, and I know what

456
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 5: cars they drive. If I just went to randomly keyed

457
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 5: their cars just because I felt like it, hey I

458
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 5: had some beef. For some reason, they haven't visited me

459
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 5: in the new studio, and I'm upset about that. I

460
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 5: don't know, I'm trying to come with some ridiculous reason. Yeah,

461
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 5: A lot more is going to happen to me than

462
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 5: a one day suspension and me having to pay for

463
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 5: the repairs. The Department of Human Services made a disclosure

464
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 5: to the Minnesota Starts for Rebune this week regarding its

465
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: discipline of Dylan Bryan Adams, thirty three, the data analysts

466
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 5: for the agency. Following an independent investigation by a private

467
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 5: law firm. The estimated damage to the six teslas that

468
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 5: Adams keyed near his downtown residence ranged from sixteen hundred

469
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 5: dollars on one car to over ten thousand on another.

470
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 5: The disciplinary letter, sent to Adams on January twenty first,

471
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 5: one day before he started as suspension, went as follows.

472
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 5: He says, your behavior, as substantiated by the investigation, constitutes

473
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 5: a violation of DHS and the Minnesota Management budget policies.

474
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: So you get a day off, Oh, but you're not

475
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: going to be paid. The letter to Adams noted the

476
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 5: state policy required he beheld to the highest standard of honesty.

477
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Integrity and ethical trust. I don't think they're doing that.

478
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: Is it just me? I don't think I don't think

479
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: they're doing that.

480
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: For a number of months, Adams and others in the

481
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 5: Twin Cities and around the country, of course, vandalized Tesla

482
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: vehicles protesting Elon.

483
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: Musk and Doge.

484
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 5: In an interview with the law firm as part of

485
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 5: the investigation, Adams explained that he was upset after seeing

486
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 5: Muska give what he appeared to be the Nazi salute

487
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 5: during a public appearance last year.

488
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 2: Okay, so the guy's also an idiot.

489
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 5: He stated that he damaged the Tesla vehicles in hopes

490
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 5: that the owners of the vehicles would just associate themselves

491
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 5: with Elon Musk and Tesla. Just refer to my previous

492
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 5: comment about less than thirty seconds ago. Adams, who's been

493
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 5: with DHS for more than seven years, added that sleep

494
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 5: deprivation drove him to damage some of the vehicles, that

495
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 5: he was so upset over the perceived Nazi salute that

496
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 5: he lost sleep. Maybe he was just having trouble sleeping.

497
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 5: Generally speaking, could use some many Leaf nightgummies take care

498
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 5: of that problem. Will Adams acknowledged damaging the vehicles. Thet

499
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 5: Hanipen County's Attorney's office chose not the file criminal charges

500
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 5: against him, and instead had him enter an adult diversion

501
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 5: program meant for first time low level offenders. The police

502
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 5: chief Brian O'Hara, makes another appearance this morning. He voiced

503
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 5: his frustration with the decision not to charge Adams, saying

504
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 5: the Minneapolis Police Department did its job. Our investigators are

505
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into

506
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 5: or declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases

507
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 5: often feel the same. Yeah, but see what he did

508
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 5: was aligning with the mentality of the individuals that were

509
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 5: dolling out the punishment. So to go and actually fire

510
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 5: this dude, to hold them accountable for his actions. To

511
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 5: the individuals that were holding in accountable would have been

512
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 5: almost an admission on them that the mentality that they

513
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 5: have their TDS syndrome is wrong.

514
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: If they were to go and punish this.

515
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 5: Guy for his own Trump derangement syndrome, they have.

516
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: What's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you heard about

517
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: that problem?

518
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: The DHS investigation did reference adams participation in the program

519
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 5: and pointed out that he made restitution in full and

520
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 5: completed a self reflection assessment, sure how this makes you feel,

521
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: and complied with all other requirements, which remain in force

522
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 5: until May and some The report concluded that Adams deeply

523
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 5: regrets his conduct and did not comprehend and appreciate the

524
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 5: consequences of his actions.

525
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so now you know what happened.

526
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 5: If you go and damage multiple vehicles over several different

527
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 5: evenings in Minneapolis and you get busted for it, all

528
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 5: you gotta do is claim sleep deprivation, prepared to take

529
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 5: a diversion course where you might have to pay for

530
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 5: the damages, and you'll get one day off not paid.

531
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: Not a bad deal, all right?

532
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 5: Before we get to your talk back of the day,

533
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 5: I want to go. I want to go here. We're

534
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 5: trying to find a place to spike this in. I

535
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 5: found this clip the other day offers up.

536
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: A bit of hope.

537
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 5: This is a former Alexandria Acassio Cortes climate activist talking

538
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 5: on a podcast recently basically about how and when they

539
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 5: saw the light and they ended up opening their eyes

540
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 5: from the woke mind virus. Really interesting couple of minutes here,

541
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: and then we'll get to your talk back of the day.

542
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 5: But for me, it provides hope that people can on

543
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 5: the left, if they're looking, actually go and see the

544
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 5: error in the ideologies that they are latched onto. Slipping

545
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: something at like a drunk line night turn into you.

546
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 7: This complete breakup. So the timeline is that I was

547
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 7: at now this.

548
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 15: From twenty fifteen to twenty twenty one, and so I

549
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 15: was there through the COVID stuff too, and so, and

550
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 15: I was visible. I was an on camera person the

551
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 15: whole time I was there. So the whole world shut down.

552
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 15: At the peak of COVID, it was something like seventeen percent.

553
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 15: We saw a seventeen percent reduction in our carbon emissions

554
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 15: the peak of COVID.

555
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 7: So that's like just like those two weeks over the year.

556
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 15: Ends up being something like five percent reduction.

557
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 7: And I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute, the.

558
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 15: Climate movement wants one hundred percent reduction in our carbon emissions.

559
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 7: What is it going to expect of our society. Yeah,

560
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 7: we're literally lost in.

561
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: Our home not doing anything.

562
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 7: And we still have carbon emissions.

563
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 15: And so that was the first moment where I go,

564
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 15: hold on, I don't know if I want to live

565
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 15: in a world where we have zero carbon emissions, because

566
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 15: I'm kind of depressed right now at home, like this

567
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 15: sucks and we have no freedom, and so what does

568
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 15: the climate movement If you take it to its logical conclusion,

569
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 15: it's not going to be no big deal, like it's

570
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 15: going to require people to give up their freedoms to

571
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 15: like lower carbon emissions.

572
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 7: And so that was one thing. And then the other

573
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 7: thing was.

574
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 15: I was very anti plastic, and all of a sudden,

575
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 15: like the PPEs everywhere, the masks, the plastic barriers between

576
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 15: every table at a restaurant and when you're checking out

577
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 15: your food at the grocery store, and I'm like, wait

578
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 15: a minute.

579
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 7: I've been sweating.

580
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 15: About a single use plastic straw for the last five years,

581
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 15: and now we've proliferated more plastic in the last few

582
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 15: months than I've seen in my lifetime.

583
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 7: And also looking around, we seem like we're fine.

584
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 15: It looks like our society was able to absorb that

585
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 15: plastic and the world does not ended like we can't.

586
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 7: We don't have time for nuance.

587
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 15: We just have to push for the most extreme narrative

588
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 15: because this is a fire alarm situation and the planet

589
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 15: is going to be destroyed, so like we don't have

590
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 15: time to think about the downsides of solar and wind, like,

591
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 15: we have to just keep pushing forward because this is existential,

592
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 15: and so I didn't so I subscribe to that where

593
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 15: I'm like, you know, this is an existential threat and

594
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 15: we don't have time to like look at the details, like,

595
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 15: you know, we just have to get people to care

596
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 15: and to be afraid, and because if they're afraid, they're.

597
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 7: Going to change their habits.

598
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 15: When I was in the climate movement, I got my

599
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 15: identity from being a good person and from being on

600
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 15: the right side of history, and so I identified with that,

601
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 15: and so.

602
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 7: Good people don't question the climate movement, you know.

603
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 15: Good people don't listen to fossil fuel shills or defend

604
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 15: fossil fuels. Good people don't question the climate narrative. And

605
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 15: so this identity of being good And I talked a

606
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 15: little bit about this idea of atoning right because everyone's

607
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 15: obsessed with the white privilege and everything, and I'm realizing, like,

608
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 15: oh my gosh, I'm an oppressor by being a white

609
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 15: woman in from America, and so I need to atone

610
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 15: for my sins by pushing and being part of this movement,

611
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 15: and that is what makes me good.

612
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 7: And so if I'm going to leave.

613
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 15: This, I'm no longer going to be seen as good

614
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 15: and I'm no longer a good person.

615
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 7: So who am I? And then that's when you have to.

616
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 15: Start doing the work of building up yourself.

617
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 5: I thought that was so incredibly enlightening and encouraging to

618
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 5: Not everybody is going to think comprehensively like that woman did,

619
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 5: but they should too. Many individuals are broken, their brainwashed,

620
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 5: and they don't bother with any level of critical thinking whatsoever.

621
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's go here, time for your talk back

622
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: of the day.

623
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 5: Your talk back of the day is brought to you

624
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 5: by Mini Leaf minileaf dot com. Head on over to

625
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: m I N N E l eaf dot com.

626
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: A little bit of COVID, a little bit of.
