Do you 42 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: think Attorney General Keith Ellison has done enough regarding fraud 43 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: here in Minnesota. I'm curious to get your thoughts in 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good. 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 7: Morning, Thanks for having me on. 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 8: Yeah. 47 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 7: I don't know if I ever laughed out loud so 48 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 7: much watching that on the news the other day. The 49 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 7: fact that they can keep the street face while they 50 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 7: say these things is just mind boggling. 51 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 4: To me. 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: But it's astonishing. 53 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: No, it just it really, it really is astonishing, and 54 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: it goes back to kind of what I've been saying 55 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: all morning long, and it's these two different realities that 56 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: were that were faced with that. Unfortunately, because of what 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: happened yesterday, now I've had deadly consequences. We just got 58 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: done playing a lot of audio from the congressional hearing yesterday. 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: I'd love to get your thoughts on it. But Nate George, 60 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: for those that aren't familiar with you, give a little 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: bit of your your background. 62 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: You are the mayor in bram How long have you 63 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: been in that seat? 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: And why are you deciding to go for the Minnesota 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: State auditor position. 66 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, so I'm on my fourth year as the mayor 67 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 7: of Braham. I had no intentions of getting into politics whatsoever. 68 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 7: I just I spoke up at a city council meeting 69 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 7: because I didn't like what I was hearing and what 70 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 7: I was seeing and pull them, you know the answer 71 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 7: to the people, and people aren't aren't impressed with what 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 7: they're doing, and they need to do their job or 73 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 7: I'll do it for them. And that's why we shouldn't 74 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 7: have said that last part because I got elected a 75 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 7: year later, So on sat twelve year in Trench Democrat 76 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 7: mayors with sixty seven percent on the vote. So yeah, 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 7: been a kind of history since then. But we, uh, 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 7: we walked into a dire financial situation for the city 79 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 7: and we were able to turn that around completely within 80 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 7: about a year and a half just by bringing back 81 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 7: common sense government policy decision making, you know, and and budgeting. 82 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 7: There wasn't a whole lot of that going on, and 83 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 7: just having basic respect for the people's money. You know, 84 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 7: if we don't need to spend it, we don't need 85 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 7: to ask for it, then we shouldn't have it. 86 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm curious your perspective. 87 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: I do want to get more into the auditor position 88 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: and talk, you know, about the about what you would 89 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: like to do with state auditor, especially given the rampant 90 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: and systemic fraud and the comments that were made at 91 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 2: the hearing yesterday. But you know, given given the given 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: the the main topic today and the shooting and then 93 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: ended up taking the life of the woman in in 94 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: uh in South Minneapolis yesterday by the I say agent, 95 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: A lot of comments made and a lot of comments 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: made by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry I would be curious 97 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: you being a mayor yourself of a city, you know 98 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: your thoughts on how Jacob Fry is handling this, And 99 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: have you thought much, if at all, about if this 100 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: type of circumstance had happened in ram whether you know 101 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: how you would go and respond to that, Nate, George. 102 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, embarrassing to say the least. You know, it's almost 103 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 7: as if when I was watching everything on the news 104 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 7: play out last or yesterday, I was following it the 105 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 7: whole time. And so every every time more information came out, 106 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 7: or Mayor Fry or the governor got up there to speak, 107 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 7: it was reminiscent of almost exactly the same steps that 108 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 7: they were doing or taking, you know, several years ago 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 7: with George Floyd and I thought Minneapolis is going to 110 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 7: be on fire again by tonight. And it's just a 111 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 7: complete opposite way that any logical person would handle the situation. 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 7: And you know, if this were to happen in brand, 113 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 7: you've got to let the information and the investigation play out. 114 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 7: We need to reinforce. If I'm going to get in 115 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 7: front of a camera, my job is to reinforce the 116 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 7: rule of law and civil order. It's not to demonize 117 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 7: anyone and take sides before an investigation has even determined 118 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 7: if there was any wrongdoing to begin with, Let's. 119 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: Get into your decision to run for state auditor. 120 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: Why the desire to to switch position in why state auditor? 121 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 2: What is it you're concerned about and want to tackle. 122 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm curious to go from the mayor to 123 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: running for state auditor. What was the mindset and making 124 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: that choice. 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great question. It's actually a very logical 126 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 7: transition because the local the state Auditor's office statutorily, their 127 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 7: authority exists to oversee local government spending. So all the 128 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 7: thirty three hundred local government entities from counties, cities, townships, 129 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 7: school boards across the state, it's about a little over 130 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 7: sixty billion dollars in local spending across the state. They 131 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 7: do not audit state agencies or state government. And I 132 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 7: just make it a point to highlight that because unfortunately 133 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 7: there's some misinformation going on out there from other candidates 134 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 7: who are really focused on, you know, trying to take 135 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 7: action against other state agencies, but it really has nothing 136 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 7: to do with what the State Auditor's office does. So 137 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 7: they're kind of selling a false product. So having said that, obviously, 138 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 7: being a mayor, I'm very in tuned to local government 139 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 7: spending and budgeting and you know how it should be 140 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 7: done properly, as well as the difficulties that local government 141 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 7: space in trying to manage their finances, but also where 142 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 7: the weaknesses are and where the fraud at local government 143 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 7: can occur. And so having that experience and that acknowledge 144 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 7: would make me an excellent person for the role because 145 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 7: as a stay auditor out in now'der to look for 146 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 7: fraud at the local level, which is what they're supposed 147 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 7: to be doing anyways. And that's also why the DFL has, 148 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 7: I think, got at least three candidates on their site 149 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 7: who have local government experience. 150 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: The website is nat George four mnstatea Auditor dot com. 151 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now on my on my desktop. 152 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: I do have a question. 153 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: I do have a question that rolls in for you 154 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: to the iHeart radio app on Let's go ahead, and 155 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,239 Speaker 2: if you don't mind taking a taking a question from 156 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: a taco All right, let's go and let's go to 157 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. 158 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 9: Hey, John, can you ask this this candidate for state Auditor? 159 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 9: I do a lot of work for a lot of 160 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 9: municipalities and towards the end of the year, and it 161 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 9: benefits me greatly.

I want to 180 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 7: make sure I have my head wrapped here on that question. 181 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: So that the individual said, I do a lot of 182 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: work for municipalities and towards the end of the year, 183 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: and he says it benefits me greatly. But they have, say, 184 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars is left in the yearly budget, and 185 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: they won't just hang on to it because they're going 186 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: to lose that money if they do hang on to it, 187 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: so they go and spend it on stuff that they 188 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: don't need. So how do you stop the practice without 189 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: penalizing the municipalities by losing their budget. 190 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's interesting. I want to dive into that 191 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 7: a little bit more if they have more information that degree, 192 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 7: if the entity that's doing the work, if they're referring 193 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 7: to they have the extra money left over, or if 194 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 7: the municipality is just under budget, and that's what they're 195 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 7: talking about, if they're if if it's the municipality, there's 196 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 7: no such thing as use it or lose it. They 197 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 7: only have the money that they tax. 198 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 10: So if they if they. 199 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 7: Have extra money left over, then you know, they can 200 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 7: certainly apply that towards next year's budget and help reduce 201 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 7: the tax loggy for next year or keep it flat. 202 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 7: But they shouldn't be spending it just for the sake 203 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,239 Speaker 7: of spending. 204 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: It talking with a Nate George for State Auditor. 205 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: One more question before I let you go. 206 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: In the role of state auditor if you were elected, 207 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: you know, real simple, what's one of the first things 208 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: that you would want to specifically tackle in that role. 209 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, one of the one of the most popular solutions 210 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 7: that I have. So I have a legislative proposal drafted 211 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 7: up that I would present to the legislature with suggestions 212 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 7: for changing and updating Chapter six of Minnesota State Statutes. 213 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 7: That's the chapter that gives the State Auditor's Office it's authority. 214 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 7: And also included in that legislative proposal is information change 215 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 7: that we could essentially make on day one using the 216 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 7: tools that the Auditor's Office already has, and that's creating 217 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 7: a fraud risk dashboard. So having a rating system and 218 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 7: a score for all of the thirty three hundred local 219 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 7: entities in the state that tells the public how their 220 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 7: local government rates when it comes to fraud and they 221 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 7: can take that information and bring it back to their 222 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 7: city council, their school board and say what are you 223 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 7: doing to improve this score? I think also it's popular 224 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 7: because it would create some friendly competition among local empathies 225 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 7: in the state that have a better score, and you 226 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 7: have voluntary compliance without having to spend any extra money 227 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 7: to do it. 228 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: So Nate George running for again State Auditor.

I don't know where the exact location is. 237 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: I'll try to get some further details. I'm watching live 238 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: footage right now and it seems as if things are 239 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: getting rather violent fairly early on this Thursday morning. So 240 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to gather up a few details of 241 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: where exactly this is transpiring, where these ICE agents are, 242 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: and provide those two you coming up in a few 243 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: minutes with that DHS in the wake of what took 244 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: place yesterday, says the ICE agent defended himself from domestic terrorism. 245 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: A similar claim in Chicago was actually dismissed very similar 246 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: circumstances to what took place yesterday in South Minneapolis, and 247 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: I'll give you some details and we'll try to get 248 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: to the breaking news that the protesters are confronting federal 249 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: agents in Minneapolis right now when you're listening to Twin 250 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three 251 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: five FM, protesters right now are facing off against federal 252 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: agents at the Whipple Federal Building. One arrest already and counting. 253 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: I'm with you on so much of this. By the way, 254 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: it's Twin City's News Talk. John Justice. Glad you're with 255 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: the show this morning. It's rough, it's surreal, and I'm 256 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: with you trying to make sense of why this happens. 257 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 2: And it goes back to how I started off the 258 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: show this morning and kind of the theme, and that 259 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: is that one of the biggest problems that we face 260 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: in this country and in politics globally, is this separation 261 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: from reality. It's this version of the world that the 262 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: leftists and the progressives want to put forward that's not 263 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 2: entrenched in any sort of reality. It's rooted back in 264 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: something that I've been saying for years, and that is 265 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: if you're on the left. You can be as irrational 266 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: and hypocritical as you want to be. This is not 267 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: applicable to all Democrats, but right now the Democrat Party 268 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: and the leaders here in specifically here in Minnesota, are 269 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: perpetuating this idea of a bunch of false narratives. Governor 270 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: Tim Walls, Jacob Fry. 271 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 11: They are not here to cause safety in this city. 272 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 11: What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. 273 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 11: What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. 274 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: No, it's the people going out and obstructing the actions 275 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: of law enforcement that are causing the problems. Again, look 276 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: at the data for yourself. Just do a Google search 277 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: and you will find out that in the four years 278 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden was in office, there were over sixty 279 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: five hundred arrests of illegal immigrants by Immigrations and Customs enforcement. 280 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: And not a single protester showed up to any of 281 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: these events, not that I saw. I hidn't hear a 282 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: single comment from Governor Tim Walls, from Fry, from Keith Ellison. 283 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: And yet you've got Governor Tim Walls out there saying 284 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: that we're at war with the federal government. 285 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 8: And it's clear, look, I don't know. I don't think 286 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 8: any government history has had to fight a war against 287 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 8: the federal government every single day. Well, I said this yesterday. 288 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 8: We've never been at war with our federal government. 289 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: And here's a fantastic well, a couple of points regarding 290 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: these protests from the iHeartRadio app brought to you by 291 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: Lyndall Realty. 292 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 6: I think Walls and Fry should just, instead of telling 293 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 6: people to peace leave protest, tell them to stay home. Yeah, 294 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 6: you know what, Fry, send the police and say we 295 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 6: will keep an eye on Ice. 296 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 12: You don't need to do it. We'll make sure nobody 297 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 12: is going that shouldn't be going. You can all stay 298 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 12: home and will keep you informed. Then we don't have 299 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 12: these stupid conflicts going on. I'm sick of it. 300 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: The only reason why they're encouraging people to go out 301 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: and be observers is because they want more of what 302 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: happened yesterday, because they need these acts of violence and 303 00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: human sacrifice to perpetuate this false narrative, their Marxist matrix 304 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 2: that they continue to go and perpetuate to these vulnerable 305 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: individuals who end up buying into this alternate view of 306 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 2: reality that is not rooted in reality. 307 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 13: Morning, John Andy from Dona Atana. 308 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 14: Here say, have these people. 309 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 13: That are doing all the protests, have they ever ever 310 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 13: seen a news article that started out with protests happened 311 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 13: and police gave up and went away and it made 312 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 13: the situation much better. No, it's always protests showed up, 313 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 13: turned into rioters, violence happened, somebody gets killed, and oh 314 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 13: it's the police's fault. Never these low life morons that 315 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 13: want to go out and get in the way over everything. 316 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. 317 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: An attorney whose client was shot by a federal agent 318 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: during a recent immigration enforcement operation in Chicago sees the 319 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: direct parallels to the deadly encounter that took place yes day. 320 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: Skeptical of the Trump administration's portrayal of the shooting is 321 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: an act of domestic terrorism, authorities accused Marra mar Martinez 322 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 2: of ramming her Nissan Rogue into a federal law enforcement 323 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: vehicle and then driving directly at an agent before he 324 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: opened fire. Last October, Martinez was shot multiple times by 325 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: the Border Patrol agent during the Department of Homeland Securities 326 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: immigration cracked down in Chicago known as Operation Midway Blitz. 327 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: Martinez survived her injuries, but she was charged with assaulting 328 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 2: a federal officer by use of a dangerous or deadly weapon. 329 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: Martinez's attorney said federal prosecutor dropped the charges weeks later 330 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 2: as more evidence came to light, including body worn camera 331 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 2: footage that contradicted the initial account from authorities. I think, 332 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 2: as you saw in the Merrimr's case, I mean, the 333 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 2: government puts out is objectively not true in these cases, 334 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: said Christopher Parenti. I mean the press releases that were 335 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 2: put out in our case would have been used at 336 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: trial to show the misinformation. Despite the end evidence, Parenti said, 337 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: the government is not back down from the initial characterization, 338 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: and they're still labor labeling her as a domestic terrorst 339 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: even though the charges have all been dropped by the 340 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 2: attorney's office. 341 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: We'll see how things play out in. 342 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: The circumstance it took place yesterday, and as I stated 343 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: at the top of the show, I'll leave it up 344 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: to the legal experts to determine whether or not there 345 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: was excessive use of force in all three of the 346 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: shots that were fired. Based off of what I saw, 347 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: that agent clearly thought his life was in danger and 348 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: the lives of the other agents were in danger. As well, 349 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: and even beyond that, that woman put herself in that 350 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 2: horrible position that took place, And when you look at 351 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: what the ICE agents are facing, the number of assaults 352 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 2: on agents and threats against them is up by more 353 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: than one thousand percent over the summer. On July fourth, 354 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 2: the militia of alleged ANTIFA members attempted to lure ICE 355 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: officers out of an agency facility in North Texas by 356 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: setting off fireworks. When the officers emerged, the attackers opened fire, 357 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: injuring a local police officer. A nearby facility in Dallas 358 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: was targeted in September by a shooter who stood on 359 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: top of a nearby rooftop and fired into an ICE 360 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: sally port where detainees were being moved. Although the shooter, 361 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: who later turned the gun on himself, intended to kill 362 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 2: ICE officers, he ended up killing two detainees. And this 363 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 2: part of the conversation that's been lost in the wake 364 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: of what took place yesterday, and that is these altercations 365 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 2: by these citizen observers have been taking place for quite 366 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: a long time and it's put these ICE officers on edge. 367 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll get back to more of your talkbacks 368 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 2: from the iHeart Radio app, and we should be speaking 369 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 2: with Jake Coleman for Americans for Prosperity, talking about AFP 370 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 2: and their plans to hold lawmakers accountable for the fraud 371 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 2: scandal in the upcoming legislative session and beyond.

What do you make man. 404 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: Of everything that's been going on as of late? It 405 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: feels like an eternity a go when the big story 406 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 2: was and I figured we'd be talking about it all 407 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 2: week that Governor Tim Walls was dropping out of the 408 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: governor's race, and yet you know, we're three and four 409 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 2: controversies down the line now, Good morning. 410 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 14: Good good morning, John. I couldn't agree with you more 411 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 14: of that. Six is off to a wild start. It 412 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 14: seems like every day a new incident or new thing happens, 413 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 14: and it certainly has been crazy. 414 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Jacob speaks to the challenges that we 415 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 2: face when you have such a wholesale change in leadership 416 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 2: that has a completely different view and I believe the 417 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 2: proper view of how things should run, whether it is 418 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: with regard to law enforcement, whether it is in regard 419 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: to dealing with fraud, our tax dollars, our legislation. What 420 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: we're seeing and what we're experiencing on all of these 421 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: different levels is you know, the pushback to the change 422 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 2: that we are trying to achieve, and really it's a 423 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: demonstration of just how bad things have gotten and also 424 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 2: I think, you know, showing that there's a lot of 425 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: work ahead of us, including as we're going to talk 426 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 2: about this upcoming legislative session. 427 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's certainly the case. And I think what you're 428 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 14: watching in Minnesota is an absolute failure of leadership and 429 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 14: an abdication of leadership across the board, whether it's with 430 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 14: the violent Rederick coming out of the governor or the mayor, 431 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 14: or their inability to watch over the social programs that 432 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 14: are supposed to help and take care of vulnerable Minnesotans 433 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 14: that have been instead used for stealing billions of dollars 434 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 14: of our taxpayer money. 435 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: Let's start off here, what are your thoughts on Governor 436 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: Tim Walls dropping out of the race. 437 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: Were you surprised by this? Were you expecting this? 438 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 2: I'm curious to know, Jake Coleman from America's for Prosperity, 439 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 2: what your reaction was. 440 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 14: You know, we've been hearing for a while that some 441 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 14: leadership within the Democratic Party was getting pretty concerned about 442 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 14: the escalating fraud that kept occurring on his watch. And 443 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 14: you know, I'm not shocked that he dropped out of 444 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 14: the race because it was probably the right thing to 445 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 14: do for him. There was just no way for him 446 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 14: to run the problems that occurred on his watch. But 447 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 14: you know, what I want to remind your listeners is 448 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 14: that it wasn't that this just occurred under goubnor Wall. 449 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 14: This is systemic, and this is this fraud is the 450 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 14: result of a failure of leadership from Democrats, from Keith Ellison, 451 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 14: the leaders of the legislature that voted for this. I mean, 452 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 14: when you saw the budget in the HHS budget increased 453 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 14: by three thousand percent, you got to know there's a 454 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 14: problem there and that's what's driving the deficit. You've got 455 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 14: to look for the problem. 456 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: Is it your expectation that Amy Klobashar will end up 457 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: being the nominee or do you think there As we 458 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: talked about yesterday, there's some talk that perhaps the you know, 459 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: that further left DSA wing of the Democrat Party might 460 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: want to see a different candidate, even like a Keith 461 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 2: Ellison attempted to go and buy for the nomination. What's 462 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: your expectation on who replaces Governor Tim Walls. 463 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 14: It's certainly possible that there's a DFA candidate that gets 464 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 14: put up. But if Amy gets in the race, I 465 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 14: think she pretty much clears the field. That there might 466 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 14: be a smaller DSA cannon, But I don't think that 467 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 14: Keith Ellison would challenge Amy Klobahar Well. 468 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: Jake, really quick. 469 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: I just want to not push back too hard on you, 470 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: but I do have a brand new clip from Amy 471 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: clobe Shark, which, may you know, push back a little 472 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: bit on her clearing the field. She was at a 473 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 2: recent a recent event, not a campaign event, and apparently 474 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 2: she's trying out either new stand up or campaign material. 475 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: Here's thirty seconds from Amy Klobashar from earlier this. 476 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 15: Week, speaking of Greenland. There's a question for you that 477 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 15: I want to pose, what is the difference between Greenland 478 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 15: and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale? Okay for 479 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 15: any Republican Trump administration person out there, they want to 480 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 15: throw eggs at me as a result of that joke, 481 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 15: you can't because they're too expensive. 482 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 2: Jake, I know that she would be a formidable candidate, 483 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: and you can argue this certainly given how much baggage 484 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Wallas currently has, she could be a better 485 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 2: candidate than Walls. 486 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: But I still. 487 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 2: Contend that she's not a good candidate. I know she's 488 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 2: won these state wide elections, but you know, running for 489 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 2: a Senate seat is wholly different than running for the 490 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 2: governor's office. 491 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 16: What are your thoughts, Oh, I completely agree with you 492 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 16: on that running for the United States Senate is very 493 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 16: different than running for the governor of Minnesota. And also 494 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 16: it's important to keep in contact how she's won her 495 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 16: four victories. You know, she won in two thousand and 496 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 16: six against Mark Kennedy, and that was during the height 497 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 16: of the beginning of a blue wave, the pushback from 498 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 16: the War in Iraq. She won again in twenty twelve 499 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 16: with President Obama on the ticket, winning a second term, 500 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 16: as well as running against Kurt Bill's who was underfunded 501 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 16: and relatively unknown. 502 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 14: Twenty eighteen was the first Trum midterm, which was a 503 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 14: massive blue wave that occurred, running against Jim Neuberger, who 504 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 14: no one has ever heard of and also was unfunded, 505 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 14: and then twenty twenty four against Royce White. So it's 506 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 14: not like she's ever had a serious opponent either. And 507 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 14: I think that if we get a great if we 508 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 14: get a great candidate on the Republican side running for governor, 509 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 14: that this is going to be a tight race. 510 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: Talking with Jay Coleman for Americans for a Prosperity, Li's 511 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: learn our attention over to the upcoming legislative session. Of course, 512 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: fraud is going to be a major issue, whether it's 513 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: with the legislative session or certainly in the upcoming elections. 514 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: What does Americans for Prosperity have planned relating to the 515 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 2: systemic fraud that's been exposed and what appears to be 516 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 2: again trying to keep up with the news stories, I mean, 517 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: the revelations you know, seem to have been breaking on 518 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: an almost daily basis, and we're only stunted by the 519 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: tragedy that took place in South Minneapolis. But what are 520 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: AFP's plans for the legislative session and dealing with fraud. 521 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 14: It's going to be the accountability if we're not doing 522 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 14: everything in our power to make sure that the legislature 523 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 14: addresses these fraud issues and starts putting controls in place 524 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 14: to get to get this under control. That we will 525 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 14: be going out and we will be door knocking in 526 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 14: every district across the state of Minnesota, letting people know 527 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 14: that their representatives are not doing their job, that their 528 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 14: money is being wasted, and holding those people accountable for 529 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 14: the choices that they make. 530 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: It really seems as if we are looking at the 531 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: tip of the iceberg, and you know, the examples again 532 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: that come out on an almost on an almost daily 533 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: basis seem to be very indicative of that. Is there 534 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 2: anything that AFP is looking at in terms of like 535 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 2: what's been exposed or what hasn't been exposed yet, anything 536 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: you guys are keeping an eye on. I know that 537 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: Like for me personally, I'll just share one with you. 538 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: The paid family medical leave, which is going to impact 539 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: every single employer and and a worker in this in 540 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: the state. And I'm concerned, as many people are, that 541 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: that program is ripe for fraud as well. But I'm 542 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: just curious where AFP is sort of keeping their eye 543 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: on relating to the fraud issue. 544 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 14: So I think this broad issue is much bigger than 545 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 14: even what we witness, which is shocking considering that there's 546 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 14: up to nine billion dollars a fraud already already found. 547 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 14: But I think it goes much further beyond that. And 548 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 14: as to your point, I completely agree with you. I 549 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 14: think paid family leave is going to be completely taken 550 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 14: advantage of. You know, we if you watch the Congressional 551 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 14: here yesterday with Representative Hudson, who did a fabulous job 552 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 14: talking about his concerns with the paid Family Leave bill 553 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 14: and the fact that you can have an unlimited amount 554 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 14: of people all taking care of the same family members. 555 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 14: It's a program that needs furious can guardrails and controls 556 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 14: put in place, and they are not there. And because 557 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 14: of that, I am very concerned for the citizens of 558 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 14: Minnesota about the amount of fraud that program is going 559 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 14: to cause. 560 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: Jake Coleman Americans for Prosperity, Where would you like people 561 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: to go to see more about what AFP does here 562 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. 563 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 14: Check out our website at Americans Prosperity dot org.

M I N 596 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: N E l EAF dot com. What is a paid 597 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: family medical leave going to do? In terms of the protesting? 598 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: I mean, it already seems like there's enough individuals that 599 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: can take time off or just aren't working that can 600 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 2: go out and protest like they are right now at 601 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: the Federal Building, the Whipple Federal Building. Can only imagine 602 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: when it comes to the paid family medical leave, it's 603 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: only going to get worse. To that point, we do 604 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 2: have some talkbacks that rolled in regarding the protests that 605 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: are taking place right now. 606 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 10: What's playing out in Minneapolis right now with these protests 607 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 10: is actually proving our They're telling the protesters to get 608 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 10: back and on camera you're showing the protesters hitting the 609 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 10: federal agents in the head with items. People just do 610 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 10: not get it and understand you cannot assault officers. You 611 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 10: are stupid human beings. 612 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 4: Why do they keep calling them constitutional observers? To observe 613 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 4: means you sit back and observe, watch, maybe report they're 614 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 4: obstructing federal officers. They should be called constitutional obstructors observers. 615 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 18: But what they really are is cannon fodder. They get 616 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 18: them all fired up on rhetoric and lies and send 617 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 18: them out to the front lines to protest against armed, legal, 618 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 18: lawful officers, and when they get hurt or kill, the 619 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 18: Democrats will use them as martyrs. That's all they are 620 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 18: is cannon fodder, and they're not bright enough to realize. 621 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 2: At the center of the American Experiment American Experiment dot org, 622 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 2: John Hinderocker has a great piece up regarding the comments 623 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 2: made by Governor Tim Walls. 624 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 8: And it's clear, Look, I don't know. I don't think 625 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 8: any government history has had to fight a war against 626 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 8: the federal government every single day. 627 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: Well, I said this yesterday. 628 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 8: We've never been at war with our federal government. 629 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: John Hinderocker writes this. 630 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 2: He said it was one of the most extraordinary performances 631 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 2: by American political leader since the Confederates succeeded in eighteen 632 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 2: sixty one. Wall said that he had put the Minnesota 633 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 2: National Guard on official notice of potential deployment. Deployment to 634 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 2: what to fight ice federal law enforcement asked by a 635 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: reporter to elaborate, and Walls mused on the likelihood of 636 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 2: civil wars. I just played for you, goes on to say, 637 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: we've never seen anything like it, not just in Minnesota, 638 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 2: but anywhere in America since the Civil War. A governor 639 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 2: threatened threatening to call out the National Guard to forcibly 640 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 2: resist federal authority and prevent the enforcement of our national laws. 641 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 2: George Wallace didn't do that. Ross Barnett didn't do that. 642 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 2: Let me stop here just really quick in the time 643 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 2: that we have to have more to share with what 644 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 2: John Hinderocker had to say. But I know John's not 645 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 2: surprised this, but I'm not surprised by it. This is 646 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: exactly what I expected. As a matter of fact, this 647 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 2: whole week is exactly what I expected. I certainly didn't 648 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: want to see the death of an individual, but I 649 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 2: knew that once we got past the holidays and the 650 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 2: New Year started. 651 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: What we were seeing over the course. 652 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: Of the two weeks prior to Christmas in New Years 653 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 2: was just simply a precursor to what we've been experiencing 654 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 2: these past four days here, especially in Minnesota, and with 655 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls dropping out of the race, he has 656 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 2: no reason to not show his absolute true colors. And 657 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 2: that was certainly the case yesterday that John Hinderocker gets 658 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 2: into when he continues and says Walls can't seriously think 659 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 2: the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority. Federal 660 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 2: forces are by no means limited to ice. President Donald 661 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 2: Trump has clear authority to call out, for example, the 662 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: eighty second Airborne to restore order in Minneapolis. If that's 663 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 2: what it takes, I think the Good Lord Almighty, it 664 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 2: hasn't gotten to that point yet. Based off of how 665 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 2: things are transpiring this morning, I'm a little bit of concerned. 666 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 4: Now. 667 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 2: Hinderrocker goes on to say, is that, seriously what Walls 668 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 2: wants a battle between the Minnesota National. 669 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: Guard and the US Army. 670 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: I think the military leaders of the Guard would refuse 671 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 2: to obey any obviously illegal order that Walls might give them, 672 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 2: such as an order to combat ice. It is a 673 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 2: sad day for Minnesota when our governor can legitimately be 674 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 2: compared with Jefferson Davis at this riding rioters are taking 675 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 2: over the city of Minneapolis. It is an insurrection that 676 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 2: incredibly is being sponsored by many of the political leaders. 677 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: Let's hope it doesn't take the US Army to restore order. 678 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: I absolutely echo his sentiments, and again I'll go back 679 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 2: to what I said at the start of the show. 680 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 2: Too many individuals have bought in to this false viewpoint, 681 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: this false view of the world, and they've adopted it, 682 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: they've embraced it, and now they're willfully going out and 683 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: pushing back against lawful law enforcement because they are live 684 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 2: action role playing in this fantasy concocted by the individuals 685 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 2: that they elected into office. Will certainly be continuing the 686 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 2: discussion tomorrow morning on the first Freedom Friday of the 687 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 2: new year in studio ak Kamara R and C Committeeman 688 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 2: Representative Max Rymer and also from American Experiment podcast host 689 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: Grace Keating does that show along with Catherine Johnson.
