I did. 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 6: And by the way, to that Talkbacker's point, I the 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 6: last two weeks, I've been out and I've been I've 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 6: had a couple of trips. I did a podcast in Washington, 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 6: DC last week. But what I'll say is, Okay, it's 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 6: nice to be in friendly company because everywhere I go 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 6: outside of the state, I get made fun of for 24 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 6: my accent. 25 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: Do you have an accent? Oh? 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, I bet the top I bet I've never noticed 27 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 5: your Minnesota. 28 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 6: We are going to get talkbackers who will say Max 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 6: Rymer has the most Minnesotan accent have ever. 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: I guarantee it. 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 6: I get made fun of all the time, and hopefully 32 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 6: I'm not alone in that. When if you all travel nationally, 33 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 6: hopefully somebody picks up on your accent, because sometimes. 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: It's the first thing I get asked about. 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 7: Well, I've said it before and I will say it again. 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 7: Waltz should go, but he needs to be voted out. 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 7: Republicans can't seem to get it together to do that. 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 5: Le'll be pause this really quick. So it's so funny. 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 5: It's just a little it's a freedom Friday. I'll pull 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 5: back the curtain a little bit so I open up 41 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 5: the talkbacks to see the transcript, but I can also 42 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 5: see you know who they're coming from on here. Typically 43 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 5: there are some individuals that have figured out ways to 44 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 5: not give any identifiers whatsoever. That being said, I can 45 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 5: see certain names like this person here. I won't say 46 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 5: what their email is. Typically I just call them special guy. 47 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 5: Before I even read it, I looked at the name 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 5: and I went, he's gonna say something about how he 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 5: doesn't like Walls, how Walls does need to resign, and 50 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 5: then he's going to go on a rant about how 51 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 5: much Republicans suck. 52 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: And Walts is so bad. 53 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 7: But the Republicans and Conservatives in general in this state, 54 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 7: their only hope is that our adversary quits. That's our 55 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 7: only hope is so factless in obtaining a victory here. 56 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: Factless. 57 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, and with that attitude, you're right. If everybody had 58 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: your attitude, you're absolutely right. But you're not right. I 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 5: don't know how many times I have to hammer this point. 60 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 5: You're entitled to your opinion, special guy, I don't have 61 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 5: to agree with it. But we've discussed on the show 62 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 5: that last election and the past, even when the DFL 63 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 5: got the trifecta, these weren't by like mandated by voters' 64 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 5: wide margins. These were incredibly close victories that the Democrats 65 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 5: pulled out, and that is included in last year's election. 66 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 5: And as I keep saying, we need to focus on 67 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 5: voter turnout, Republican turnout. You get just a few percentage points, 68 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 5: a half a percentage point up, and the Republicans can 69 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 5: win elections here. And there's a reason why we have 70 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 5: so many Republican gubernatorial candidates running because that many individuals 71 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 5: recognize that Walls is vulnerable, and they all believe that 72 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 5: they can beat him, and any one of them would 73 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 5: do a better job than Walls. So I just, you know, 74 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 5: I just fundamentally disagree with the premise of his comedy. 75 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, And like I said before, I think that the 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 6: point today is, obviously there's a political solution. You want 77 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 6: to beat your opponent to the ballot box. We believe 78 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 6: that Tim Walls has certainly more than enough baggage to beat. 79 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: At the ballot box. 80 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 6: But I think what John is claiming is that in 81 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 6: a vacuum, when you look at the body of work, 82 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 6: the corruption, the obvious fraud, the myriad of things that 83 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 6: have been catastrophic failures in Minnesota, a good leader and 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 6: honorable leader would resign. 85 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 8: Yeah. 86 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: Like, it's it's beyond politics. 87 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 6: That's why it's It's like when we've had talkbackers chime 88 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 6: in and say, well, Peggy Flanagan would be governor. John's 89 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 6: claim to this morning is that it's beyond it's beyond 90 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 6: the politics. 91 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's one hundred percent beyond the politics. I'm done. 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 5: He needs to resign and I hope that enough voices 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 5: will go and join me in calling for Governor Tim 94 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 5: Wallas to resign. Regardless of whether or not you believe 95 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 5: that he actually will, it doesn't matter. 96 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: It has gone far beyond that. 97 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 5: Now with this new reporting that we have received from 98 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 5: the City Journal that we'll be discussing a little bit 99 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 5: later on in the in the hour. In the meantime, 100 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 5: let's go, let's go here, Hennepin County Attorney Marria Moriarty. 101 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 5: He posted this on X yesterday following statement on President 102 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 5: Trump's calls for political violence and the death to politicians. 103 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 5: This is the Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty posting on 104 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 5: X about Trump, the President of the United States is 105 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 5: calling for the deaths of politicians. 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: Well not really, that didn't really happen. 107 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 5: Language has consequences and can unleash terrifying behavior. We saw 108 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 5: political violence this summer that ripped through our community. To 109 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 5: anyone in our community who feels threatened and needs help, 110 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 5: we encourage you to reach out to our office. What 111 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 5: a joke coming from the Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty 112 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 5: to encourage anybody to reach out to her office. Who 113 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 5: needs help, considering that she has put criminal after criminal 114 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 5: after criminal back on the street after going through the 115 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 5: doors of the Hennepin County Attorney courthouses, which has just. 116 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: Contributed to the consistent level. 117 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 5: Of crime here and yet here she is going on 118 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 5: about Trump and his calls for political violence and executions. 119 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 6: It's like you've been defined by violence, lady, serious, you 120 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 6: have you have allowed and enabled violence. 121 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: You love it, So let's reset this. 122 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 5: This video came out earlier in the week, and it's 123 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: one of those moments where I watched the video and 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 5: I thought to myself, without going into definitions of treason 125 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 5: and sedition, and I just went. 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: This seems really bad. 127 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 5: Like this seems really bad that Democrats would go and 128 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: say these things. I wasn't one hundred percent sure why, 129 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 5: but like this seems like a much bigger deal. And 130 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 5: it took a couple of days and oh, it's turned 131 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 5: into a big deal. 132 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 9: I'm Senator Alissa Sackin. 133 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio. 134 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 10: Congress good Lander, Representative Chrissy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe. 135 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 2: I was a captain in the United States. 136 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 11: Navy former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger, 137 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 11: former intelligence officer. 138 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: Former Air Force. 139 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: We want to speak directly to members of the military. 140 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 9: And the intelligence community who take risks each day keep 141 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 9: Americans safe.

They're attempting 170 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 5: to wedge themselves between our military and law enforcement and 171 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 5: the commander in chief. 172 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: It's not the first time she's done this though. 173 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 5: Recently during the confirmation hearings for Secretary of Warpeede Hegseth, 174 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 5: she was suggesting that Heagseth commit treason and defy Trump's orders, 175 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 5: and sitting right next to her was Mark Kelly. 176 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 11: There anything that a commander in chief could ask you 177 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 11: to do with the uniform military that would be in 178 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 11: violation of the US Constitution. 179 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 13: Sending anybody of any party could give an order that 180 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 13: is against the constitution or against the law, right, Okay? 181 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 9: So and are you so? 182 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 11: Are you saying that you would stand in the breach 183 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 11: and push back if you were given an a legal order. 184 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 13: I start by saying I reject the premise that presidents. 185 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: I understand you done your Jenny legal orders, but at all. 186 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 9: Mike, this isn't a hypothetical. 187 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 11: Again, You're going to be in charge of three million people, 188 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 11: the active duty that I know you care about, I 189 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 11: believe you care about. So have you been in conversations 190 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 11: about using the active duty in any way, whether it's 191 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 11: setting up in detention camps, policing dangerous cities. Have you 192 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 11: been involved in any of those conversations. 193 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 13: Certainly I have been involved in conversations relating to doing 194 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 13: things this administration has not, which is secure the southern border. 195 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 14: Now. 196 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 5: It's been interesting to see, however, the course of the 197 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 5: past twenty four hours, that this video has been out 198 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 5: for a few days, that the situation has now spiraled, 199 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 5: and you have across the board to every prominent Democrat 200 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 5: you can think of out there just screaming to the 201 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 5: high heavens about how President Donald Trump is calling for 202 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 5: the execution of members of Congress. He initially posted what 203 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 5: he said was seditious behavior punishable by death. 204 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 2: That was his initial response. 205 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: There was no specificity attached to it outlining, Yeah, it 206 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 5: was just basically saying, if you commit acts of sedition, 207 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 5: that's punishable by death. He did go on on this 208 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 5: true social account and say it's called seditious behavior at 209 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 5: the highest level. Each one of these traders to our 210 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 5: country should be arrested and put on trial. These words 211 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 5: cannot be allowed to stand. We won't have a country anymore. 212 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 5: An example must be set set President Donald J. Trump, 213 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 5: so even that he's calling for a process to ensue 214 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 5: in the wake of their commentary, and again he never 215 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 5: said execute them, which is what they're all claiming right now. 216 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 5: He basically just laid out that seditious behavior is punishable 217 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 5: by death, and just to drive the point home, in 218 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 5: the statute, sedition covers knowingly urging advising counseling members of 219 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 5: the armed forces to disobey lawful orders. That we're gonna 220 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 5: get into more of this coming up in just a moment. 221 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 5: We'll get to your talkbacks as well, but I do 222 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 5: want to get an initial reaction to all of this 223 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 5: contents from our Freedom Friday guest here on Twin City's 224 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 5: News talking representative Max Rymer will start with you your thoughts. 225 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 6: On Yeah, it seems like to me, at least from 226 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 6: Mark Kelly's standpoint, and at least slotkin standpoint. You have 227 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 6: two swing district or swing state senators who are trying 228 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 6: to just make names for themselves in doing this. The 229 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 6: one thing that I would say, though, is at the 230 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 6: onset of that video, at least Slotkin talks about how 231 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 6: depressed the military is and how much pressure they're under 232 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 6: and just how bad it is under Trump. 233 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: But when you look. 234 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 6: At approval polls, military confidence, and recruitment and all of 235 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 6: these objective measures have not been I don't think they've 236 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 6: been higher since like nine to eleven happened. That's how 237 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 6: encouraged they are and how down for the job they are. 238 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 6: When you talk about protecting the homeland, protecting our border, 239 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 6: this is what they want to do. And we're not 240 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 6: embroiled in a bunch of foreign wars right now. So 241 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 6: this idea that the military is so depressed under Trump 242 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 6: they don't trust him and they think he's a criminal, 243 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 6: this is going to backfire. 244 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: This whole exercise is going to backfire on them. 245 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 5: There's something else underneath all of this, which I believe 246 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 5: the Democrats are sort of positioning themselves for, and I'll 247 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 5: explain coming up just after the next break. But Grasa 248 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 5: keating your thoughts on the controversy surrounding this. 249 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 12: I mean, I just go back to that first response. 250 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 12: I reject the premise. I don't care about any of 251 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 12: the debating and the weird fighting that happens after We're 252 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 12: not in a position where Trump is ordering the military 253 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 12: to do unconstitutional things right, right. 254 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 2: That hasn't happened, So it is a hypothetical. 255 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 9: I don't care. 256 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 5: More of your thoughts coming up, we'll get to more 257 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 5: of our guests this morning, and of course from the 258 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 5: iHeartRadio app. Your talkback's brought to you by Lindahl Realty 259 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 5: here on Twin Cities News Talk at AM eleven thirty 260 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 5: and one oh three five FM.

He posted this on X The President is 276 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 5: angry for good reason. Elected officials are telling active duty 277 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 5: service members to defy the commander in chief so order 278 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 5: that are orders which are well within the law. These 279 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 5: elected officials are attempting to undermine the command structure of 280 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 5: the military.

Brought to you by Lindahl Realty 286 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: from the iHeartRadio app. 287 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 15: What makes me laugh is their defense to that video 288 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 15: is that they were just explaining that the military members can. 289 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 16: Defy illegal ors. 290 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 15: But Trump was just explaining that the punishment for sedition 291 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 15: is death. 292 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: Yep. 293 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 15: And yet he's the one calling for the deaths, and 294 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 15: they're not new ones calling to disobey the commander in chief. 295 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: Make it makes sense, Yeah, it's the Republicans pounds. It's right. 296 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 5: Democrats do something, Republicans respond, and it's like, look at 297 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: how the Republicans responded, not what the Democrats initially said 298 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 5: up front. 299 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 16: Right. 300 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 6: Always, that's how and that's how our media cover is 301 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 6: even things that happen here locally. 302 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: I will just say that video because. 303 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 6: They're coaching it now, they're they're framing it as well. 304 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 6: This video never accused Trump of doing anything illegal. It 305 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 6: was just a video about if he does anything illegal 306 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 6: that military members need to step up. 307 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: Well. 308 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 6: No, the video is an implication that Donald Trump using 309 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 6: the military to enforce our border is illegal. 310 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 5: Well, and to your point, here's Representative Jason Crowe who 311 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 5: backtracked on his comments. 312 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: This is what he had to say. 313 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 11: So are you saying that there was not necessarily any 314 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 11: particular precipitating event.

They're saying, do not 336 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: do illegal orders. 337 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: I thought MAGA was about laws and following the Constitution. 338 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: But I guess not that King Trump wants it. 339 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 17: But yeah, he probably wants more people to just follow 340 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 17: orders and don't you know, push back. 341 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 5: But it is a constant struggle for me when it 342 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 5: comes to foes of the show, because I don't know 343 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 5: if they're saying things just to be ridiculous, and if 344 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 5: they really mean them, or if they truly are that. 345 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: Stupid, I genuinely do not know. 346 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 5: So what they're really telling, just for Eric and for 347 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 5: those in the back, what those Democrats are really doing 348 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 5: is they're telling us service members to treat lawful orders 349 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 5: as being unlawful, which means they are telling service members 350 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 5: to not follow lawful orders, which means they're telling service 351 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 5: members to disobey the lawful orders of their commander in chief, 352 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 5: which means they're telling service members to break their oath 353 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 5: to the Constitution and their oath of enlistment, which also 354 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 5: means they're telling service members to engage in some sort 355 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 5: of military coup, which means that those evil Democrats in 356 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 5: Congress are engaging in sedition. How do we know this 357 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 5: because President Donald Trump has never once used an unawful 358 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 5: order to our military. Here's why they're doing it, though, 359 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 5: and this is something that hasn't been talked about. 360 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: H Yeah, go ahead. 361 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 6: Did I miss sometime in the last two weeks where 362 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 6: I've not been in Did I miss Eric leaving a 363 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 6: talk back praising Donald Trump for releasing the Epstein files. 364 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: I believe? 365 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: So, Yeah, there was actually a comment that Eric made 366 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 5: earlier in the show too that was more pro Trump 367 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 5: as well, so which again goes back to my struggle 368 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 5: that I when it comes to the foes of the 369 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 5: show and whether or not they just want to hear 370 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 5: their own voice or if they legitimately believe the stupid 371 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 5: things that they're sharing via the iHeartRadio app talk. 372 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: About good on him. 373 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 6: That probably means that TDS is not infected the frontal 374 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 6: cortex just yet of the brain. 375 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 5: So let me do my quick explanation here of what's 376 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 5: really going on, and then I want to play a 377 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 5: clip from Caroline love At addressing the media about this yesterday, 378 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 5: and then we'll take a short break here on Twin 379 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 5: City's news talk. But this is again this analogy of 380 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 5: separate free speech, the comments being separated here. So we've 381 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 5: made this example before wherein if you have two people 382 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 5: standing on a street corner and one person says it's 383 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 5: okay to kill a Nazi, and then. 384 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 2: The person next to him goes, hey, that person over. 385 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 5: There is a Nazi. Both of those comments are protected 386 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 5: by free speech. But if you combine those two when 387 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: one person says it's okay to kill a Nazi and 388 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 5: Max Reimer is a Nazi. If I said that, now 389 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 5: I'm in trouble, and now I'm in trouble. 390 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: This is what they're doing here, correct. 391 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 5: You see, they're saying, hey, military, do not obey illegal orders. 392 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 5: They're not specifying what the illegal orders are. They're leaving 393 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 5: that up to everybody else. Because my speculation is on this, 394 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 5: this is all laying the groundwork for if and when 395 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 5: President Donald Trump moves on Venezuela. For those that are 396 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 5: not paying attention to what's going on right now. We've 397 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 5: obviously talked about on the show how we've been engaging 398 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 5: with drug runners blowing up boats. We've been setting a 399 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 5: lot of military down to the region of Venezuela to 400 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 5: get a grip on what's been taking place with the cartels. 401 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 5: And Trump has been very pointed in his commentary that 402 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 5: he wants to get this to stop, and the potential 403 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 5: of military action there is very very high. My take 404 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 5: on this is that this is why the Democrats have 405 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 5: done this, because they're laying the groundwork saying do not 406 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 5: follow illegal orders. 407 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: Guys. We're not saying there's any illegal orders out there, but. 408 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 5: If and when Trump moves on Venezuela, and you have 409 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 5: other individuals go and say he's doing this illegally. Now 410 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 5: you see the endgame come into play where suddenly their 411 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 5: comments are more substantiated. 412 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 2: That's what's really going on with all of this. 413 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 5: So here's Caroline Levitt addressing the press yesterday and we'll 414 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 5: get back to more of your comments on a Freedom 415 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 5: Friday here on Twin City's News Talk this morning. 416 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 18: A President Trump a fews six Democratic lawmakers of seditious 417 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 18: behavior punishable by death. Just to be clear, does the 418 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 18: president want to execute members of Congress? 419 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 19: Now, let's be clear about what the president is responding to, 420 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 19: because many in this room want to talk about the 421 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 19: president's response, but not what brought the president to responding 422 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 19: in this way. You have sitting members of the United 423 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 19: States Congress who conspired together to orchestrate a video message 424 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 19: to members of the United States military, to active duty 425 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 19: service members, to members of the National Security Apparatus, encouraging 426 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 19: them to defy the president's lawful orders. 427 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 4: The sanctity of our military rests on. 428 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 19: The chain of command, and if that chain of command 429 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 19: is broken, it can lead to people getting killed, it 430 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 19: can lead to chaos, and that's what these members of Congress, 431 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 19: who swore an oath to abide by the Constitution, are 432 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 19: essentially encouraging. We have one point three active duty service 433 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 19: members in this country, and if they hear this radical 434 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 19: message from sitting members of Congress, that could inspire chaos, 435 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 19: and it could incite violence, and it certainly could disrupt 436 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 19: the chain of command. These three members of Congress, I 437 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 19: will also add, knew exactly what they were doing. Look 438 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 19: at Alyssa Slotkins. She's a former member of the CIA. 439 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 19: Mark Kelly was a captain in the US Navy. Maggie 440 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 19: Goodlander was a naval officer, and notably she was also 441 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 19: she is also the wife of Joe Biden's National security 442 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 19: former advisor, Jake Sullivan. 443 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 4: And so these members knew what they were doing. 444 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 19: They were leading into their credentials as former members of 445 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 19: our military, as veterans, as former members of the National 446 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 19: Security and apparatus, to signal to people serving under this 447 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 19: commander in Chief, Donald Trump, that you can defy him and. 448 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 4: You can betray your oath of office. 449 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 19: That is a very very dangerous message, and it perhaps 450 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 19: is punishable by law. 451 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 4: I'm not a lawyer. 452 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 19: I'll leave that to the Department of Justice in the 453 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 19: Department of War to decide. 454 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 5: It is a Freedom Friday on Twin Cities News Talk 455 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 5: Am eleven thirty one oh three five FM from the 456 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: sixty five to one Carpet plus Next Day Install Studios. 457 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 5: RNC committeeman is stuck in traffic. 458 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: I know this. 459 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 5: Could he sent me a photograph?

In my apologies, I should have. 516 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 5: Addressed this the first time this came out of Fox 517 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 5: two in Detroit, But the headline in and of itself 518 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 5: is wrong. This wasn't Trump threatening Slot. Can nuther members 519 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 5: of Congress with jail time over a video to the military. 520 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 5: It should have led with members of Congress post video 521 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 5: asking military to defy Trump orders, to which Trump responds, 522 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 5: I mean that's but again, that's the Republican's pounce version 523 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 5: of the headline you get with these stories. 524 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 6: Right, It's kind of a classic instantaneous hypocrisy that you 525 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 6: get to see in motion, right, because actually, what's happening. 526 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 6: You can't say that these people are just outlining a hypothetical, 527 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 6: but Trump is directly accusing these people because Trump just 528 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 6: outlined a hypothetical in the law. Right, so you have 529 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 6: one they are given the benefit of the doubt that 530 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 6: Donald Trump is not given by the media right now. 531 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 6: And it's it's like this instantaneous hypocrisy that you get 532 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 6: to witness from our media. 533 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: I let me go here. 534 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 5: We had that talkback brought to you by Lyndall Realty 535 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 5: from the iHeartRadio app. 536 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: Eric from up north. Eric, Right, we have a response 537 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: to that. 538 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 14: Let's go here, Good morning, Just a random guy from 539 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 14: a greater Minnesota here. 540 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. Eric is a true believer. He believes what he says. 541 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 14: He's not saying it for shock value. He's that guy 542 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 14: that sits in the corner at happy hour that nobody 543 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 14: talks to. But then that randomount of towner goes up 544 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 14: starts talking to him. Sounds like he's a conservative, and wow, 545 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 14: you know, hey, we have a lot in common and 546 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 14: then he turns on the crazy and they're like, okay, and. 547 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: That's his real voice. By the way, have a good day. 548 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 6: I love this a very specific scenario. There's a whole 549 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 6: mythology that's forming. 550 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: Around there. That was a very greater Minnesota story, BRAINERD. 551 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 5: I made the analogy a moment ago of what the 552 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 5: Democrats did in this video, and it's this. It's the 553 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 5: it's the free the free speech separation, wherein they're telling 554 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 5: military to defy illegal orders without identifying what the illegal 555 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 5: orders are. And they're doing this to set the stage 556 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 5: so that when other individuals want to point out something 557 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 5: that they believe our illegal orders from President Donald Trump, 558 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 5: then you're gonna mentally go and combine the two. There's 559 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 5: a free speech analogy that I've used before, and it 560 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 5: is one person can go and say it's okay to 561 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 5: kill a Nazi. The person standing next to them can 562 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 5: go in points to an individual standing there and say 563 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 5: that person's a Nazi. But if a person standing there 564 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 5: says both it's okay to kill a Nazi and that 565 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 5: guy's a Nazi, now you've got a free speech issue. 566 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 5: I want to go here because I made the analogy 567 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 5: with Max a moment ago here on Twin City's News. 568 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 17: Talk, John, I'm pretty sure in your example with Max 569 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 17: and the Nazi statement, Max would actually have to be 570 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 17: in the vicinity where he would be subject to imminent 571 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 17: harmh ic. That's another leg of free yor protected speech. 572 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 17: That's right, requirement, that's right. 573 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 5: And with Sam in the Master Control booth and Grace 574 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 5: as my witness, when I made that analogy, I actually 575 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 5: pointed right that Max. 576 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: Because he was right there. He's in the vicinity, he 577 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: was in the room, he was like in the in 578 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: the room. I gotta say that I am a little 579 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: bit uncomfortable with how often Max a Nazi is being used. 580 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 581 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 7: Max. 582 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 5: Uh Well, you know, I could have done the example 583 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 5: with Grace, But you know, sometimes I feel. 584 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: Like maybe Grace doesn't look super airyan you. 585 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 5: Know, yeah, and I might be I don't know her, 586 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 5: you know, her sensibility regarding those things. 587 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 2: And I know you much longer. 588 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 16: I know. 589 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up, No big deal, let's you take it. 590 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 6: Let's voice the Nazi label on Max, sitting legislator. 591 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: I'm doing Grace a favor, that's all. 592 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 16: Let's go here. Those Democrat traders calling and sweatcun and 593 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 16: the other reprehensible traders that called for American service members 594 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 16: to commit treason real quick. 595 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 5: If we're slut kid, if we're making sure that we're 596 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 5: pronouncing things appropriately, I think he might have switched a 597 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 5: couple of letters there. 598 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: And I'm sure it was a mistake. That was an 599 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: honest mistake. I'm I'm I'm sure. 600 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 6: I hope. 601 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: I don't think he meant it. I don't think. 602 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 16: Is calling and s what can and the other reprehensible 603 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 16: traders that called for American service members to commit treason. 604 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 16: They can be called back on active duty and they 605 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 16: can face a court martial for their actions. I'd like 606 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 16: to see that happen. They should be thrown in Love, 607 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 16: which is a military prison in the United States Military. 608 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: Very serious.

And it 632 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 5: helps because sometimes I just get spammed and I'm like 633 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 5: I'm done, I can't. I just I'll get like ten 634 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 5: an hour from one person and it just takes up 635 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 5: two of my time. So I just there's a thing 636 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 5: that I can do to put him in time out. 637 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 5: And so it's funny because then they're in time out 638 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 5: for fifteen days. But inevitably it's like, oh, fifteen days 639 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 5: is up, because suddenly now I get hammered with a 640 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 5: bunch of talkbacks and oh is that person again? 641 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: So one more quick. 642 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 5: Point on Trump threatening Slotkin and other members of Congress 643 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 5: with jail time. One of the members of Congress that 644 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 5: was in that video, Representative Chrissy Hulahan, a Democrat out 645 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 5: of Pennsylvania. She's now trying to walk all this back 646 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 5: as well. I think some of them understand that they 647 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 5: may have stepped in it with us, and they're becoming 648 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 5: increasingly uncomfortable with the amount of attention that they've received. 649 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 10: Earlier today, the President of the United States used his 650 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 10: platform to call for my arrest and even to threaten 651 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 10: violence against me, specifically death by hanging. Why because I 652 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 10: joined five other duly elected members of Congress who have 653 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 10: served in the military or intelligence services in recording a 654 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 10: simple message to our armed forces. Our message to them 655 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 10: was remember your oath, follow lawful orders, refuse unlawful ones, 656 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 10: uphold the Constitution above all else. Each of us who 657 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 10: has participated has previously served this nation with honor. 658 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 9: And the fact that the President respons. 659 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 5: This is a let me perfectly care clare about what 660 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 5: we were saying and why just in case there's any 661 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 5: confusion with threats is. 662 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 10: Really chilling, and it reveals far more about his authoritarian 663 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 10: instincts than it does about anything that we set. In fact, 664 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 10: he made our case for us. But let me be 665 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 10: clear about something else.
