It was predominantly the Somali community that was 117 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 14: taking advantage of these programs or should have been taking 118 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 14: advantage of these services that have been found to be fraudulent. 119 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 14: It's just absolutely it's incredible. 120 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say unbelievable. 121 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 14: A nothing is unbelievable at this point in time, and 122 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 14: at all points to just how insane it is that 123 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 14: Governor Tim Walls is even remotely considered a viable candidate 124 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 14: to run for this historic third term. I mean, he 125 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 14: should be dropping out right now. That's the level of 126 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 14: controversy surrounding all of this.

Dumbest 204 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 14: controversy ever. By the way, that's my hot take on this, 205 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 14: and we'll talk about it later. I've been I mean, 206 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 14: I've been talking about it all week long, but this 207 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 14: anger about the White House ballroom, like of all the 208 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 14: criticism of Trump, that has to be the stupidest. It 209 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 14: doesn't impact ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of 210 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 14: the people that are complaining about it. Most people won't 211 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 14: travel to DC to even see this thing, let alone 212 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 14: ever have access to go on the White House grounds 213 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 14: to go inside. 214 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: And I wasn't paid for by taxpayer dollars. Why do 215 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: you care? Anyway? 216 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 14: President Donald Trump does say he plans to brief Congress 217 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 14: on operations against drug cartels. He said taking on the 218 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 14: cartels on land would be next, while adding he doesn't 219 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 14: necessarily intend to seek a declaration of war to tackle 220 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 14: the thorny issue. 221 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say yesterday. 222 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 7: A year ago, less than five percent. 223 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 2: So now they're coming in by land, and. 224 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 7: Even the land is concerned because I told him that's 225 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 7: going to be next. 226 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: You know, the land is going to be next. 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 7: And we may go to the Senate, we may go 228 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 7: to the you know, Congress, and tell him about it. 229 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 7: But I can't imagine that have any problem with it. 230 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 11: I think, in. 231 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 7: Fact, while we're here, I think it's a good idea. 232 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 7: You go to Congress, you tell them about it. 233 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: What are they going to do? 234 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 7: Say to you, we don't want to stop drugs pouring in. 235 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 7: They're killing three hundred thousand people a year. I think 236 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 7: that's the real number, three hundred thousand people a year. 237 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 7: So between that and my discussion with presidency. I think 238 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 7: where we have never made progress like we've made the 239 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 7: sea drugs are almost dead. 240 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 14: Speaking of Pete Hegseth, he was sitting next to Trump. 241 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 14: You heard him mention him at the event on when 242 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 14: on excuse me Thursday defended the decision to repatriate two 243 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 14: survivors that were caught up. They rescued two individuals. Writers 244 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 14: was first to report that too alleged drug traffickers did 245 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 14: survive the military strike in the Caribbean or Caribbean. He 246 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 14: likened it to battlefield practices during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. 247 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 14: In those conflicts, we captured thousands on the battlefield and 248 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 14: handed over ninety nine percent to host a nation authorities. 249 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 14: Excess said, we always did. We always like the outcome, 250 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 14: not always, but it was the standard and it's the 251 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 14: same here now. Earlier this week, the United States did 252 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 14: carry out its eighth strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat, 253 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 14: and this happened on Tuesday. Dramatic video once again was 254 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 14: shown a long vessel buzzing through the Eastern Pacific before 255 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 14: being hit by a lethal kinetic strike and then bursting 256 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 14: into flames. It's pretty awesome to watch. Two smugglers were 257 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 14: killed in the strike. Trump administration says the strikes have 258 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 14: mainly been taking place in international waters of Venezuela. Here's 259 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 14: a bit of how it started, how it's going. Corey 260 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 14: Booker was on the floor of Congress furious that the 261 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 14: US military was taking out to drug smuggling boats. 262 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 17: When we took the extra judicial step to blow up 263 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 17: speed boats. 264 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 11: There has been no oversight and so that claimed. 265 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 17: Attack on people that were allegedly smuggling drugs. We are 266 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 17: constantly not doing our job, which is not a partisan one. 267 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 11: It is to hold this president and check. 268 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 17: That no one operates without accountability and without transparency, because. 269 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 11: Power is corrupting. 270 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 17: And when you let someone do what they want to do, 271 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 17: when they want to do it, without a check or balance, 272 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 17: it is corrupting. 273 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: And we know it's not in this particular clip. 274 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 14: But he did wrap up all those comments by saying, 275 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 14: I want to thank the Academy. 276 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: For the nomination. Marco Rubio. 277 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 14: Gave the perfect response to individuals like Corey Booker and 278 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 14: some talkbacks that will share here in just a moment. 279 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 18: Yeah, well, I mean the question is, bottom line, these 280 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 18: are drug boats if people want to stop seeing drug 281 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 18: boats blow up, stop sending drugs to the United States. 282 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 3: Does in the United States, Well, these. 283 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 18: Are all in international waters. 284 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: The boat in the United States. 285 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 18: Or well, that's a different manua. You're talking about law 286 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 18: enforcement matter. In this particular case, there are people traveling 287 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 18: on international waters headed towards the United States with hostilities 288 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 18: in mind, which includes flooding our country with dangerous, deadly drugs, 289 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 18: and they're going to be stopped. And that's what's happening. 290 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 18: And in the case last week you saw it was 291 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 18: a submarine. It was a submarine. It was a submersible. 292 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 18: That's a drug boat. All the way through. We know 293 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 18: what these boats are, the President just said it. We 294 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 18: track them from the very beginning. We know who's on them, 295 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 18: who they are, where they're coming from, what they have 296 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 18: on them. And you know, if you're running drug boats, 297 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 18: you're and you're in grave danger. 298 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 14: Let's go in here from a deep throat himself, Eric 299 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 14: from up North. 300 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 19: Happy free Friday. 301 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: This is Eric from BRAINERD. 302 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 19: Yeah, Venezuelan drug boats are another failure of the Trump administration. 303 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 19: They're killing innocent civilians. Usually when you have a drug boat, 304 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 19: you fill with drugs not over you know ten people 305 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 19: like some of these boats were usually you have like 306 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 19: a crew of one to two.

We don't know. Plus, aren't there greater problems 433 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 26: to solve in the country than the White House ballroom? 434 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 26: We have domestic terrorism, run a monk on the left, 435 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 26: forty trillion in debt and counting, and we're focusing on 436 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 26: a vanity project. I want to support this precedent, but 437 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 26: sometimes he makes it hard. 438 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 14: Tom, No disrespect for you. You're the one that's making 439 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 14: it hard. Peggy Noonan is making it hard. It's not 440 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 14: a good column just because she takes this sort of well, 441 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 14: you know, we just don't know who's funding it. 442 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: You know, is influence being purchased in all of this? 443 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 14: Are we questioning every single time an administration goes and 444 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 14: does an expenditure that they're legally allowed to go and do. 445 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 14: And do you think for just a moment that President 446 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 14: Donald Trump at his administration under the amount of scrutiny that. 447 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 2: They are under by everybody? 448 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 14: Do you think for a second that he would open 449 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 14: himself up to having individuals pay for this ballroom that's 450 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 14: going to be scrutinized, wherein people could go and find 451 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 14: out that it could be money that bottom off or 452 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 14: influencing him. Do you really think that he would be 453 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 14: that stupid to go and do something like that. And 454 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 14: again to the last point that you made, and I 455 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 14: know I'm pushing back on this, but I'm just so 456 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 14: tired of these ridiculous TDS arguments. You know, Instead we 457 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 14: have domestic terrorism running amok for forty trillion in debt 458 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 14: and counting, we're focusing on a vanity project. It's the 459 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 14: left criticizing that's focusing on the vanity project. If they 460 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 14: weren't flipping out about this, it would be a blip. 461 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: In light of all the other news. 462 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 14: Blame the legacy media for bringing attention to a renovation 463 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 14: being done at the White House by privately funded dollars 464 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 14: that I'm going to pretty much guarantee because of the 465 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 14: scrutiny of Donald Trump is completely on the up and up. 466 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: I just get so tired of this. 467 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 22: Yeah, And actually I would make the counter argument that 468 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 22: it's like, yeah, we do have a lot of things 469 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 22: to pay attention to, So why are we paying attention 470 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 22: to a renovation on the White House? 471 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 2: I don't care. 472 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 22: I saw that story come up a few times. I 473 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 22: saw that there was a random liberal couple in Virginia 474 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 22: who tried to take it, try to take a lawsuit 475 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 22: to the circuit court and get him to stop because 476 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 22: Donald Trump did not have the right construction permits. 477 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 14: So I have that story for later and we'll talk 478 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 14: about it. What's funny about that story as a bit 479 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 14: of a preview, because I have an audio clip of Trump, 480 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 14: and when the rest of the guests get here, we'll 481 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 14: discuss it further. But in that story, like it's from Newsweek, 482 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 14: the story is written, and even in the story it 483 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 14: says they may not have any legitimate claim. They really 484 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 14: haven't gone and filed anything yet. 485 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 27: So to Tom's point, this isn't anything other than the 486 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 27: legacy media making a big deal about this, where in 487 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 27: normal circumstances you wouldn't be talking about this because it 488 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 27: isn't major news. 489 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 14: And I don't mean to step on you, Max, but 490 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 14: just one more point I forgot to make. We're dealing 491 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 14: with the other stuff. We were just talking a moment 492 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 14: ago about bombing drug boats and the potential of going 493 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 14: in on land to stop the drug cartels in Venezuela 494 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 14: from bringing in thousands upon thousands of deadly drugs to 495 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 14: our country. So Trump is really really good at delegating 496 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 14: the priorities as necessary. 497 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 22: You can walk and chew gum at the same time. 498 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 22: But what I would say, and it was brought up 499 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 22: by not exactly a conservative but liberal activist Sean King, 500 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 22: that he's been to the White House before and basically said, Hey, 501 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 22: when you have a big group of people, there's really 502 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 22: no good place to meet at the White House. Usually 503 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 22: it's like heated tents on the White House lawn and 504 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 22: that kind of thing in the winter. And when when 505 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 22: you have a businessman as president who needs a venue 506 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 22: in order to conduct deals or make a good appearance, 507 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 22: I think this is a good thing. I think to 508 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 22: have a part of the White House that is specifically 509 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 22: dedicated to meeting with people in a nice place where 510 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 22: many people can gather, I don't have a problem with it. 511 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 14: And you know what, this is a really good example 512 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 14: of like Tom creating a situation that he was complaining against, 513 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 14: and I didn't have to play a talk back, So 514 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 14: that's on me. But it is a freedom Friday, and 515 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 14: you know, I do enjoy hearing Tom's voice. It is 516 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 14: rather soothing. But I wasn't even going to be talking 517 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 14: about this until later on in the show in terms 518 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 14: of priorities of things we were going to be talking 519 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 14: about on the air today. 520 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: Again, this wouldn't even be an issue. 521 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 14: It wouldn't even be covered if it wasn't for those 522 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 14: suffering from Trump Arrangement syndrome freaking out about this because 523 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 14: they have a visual. 524 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 2: That's what this comes down to. 525 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 14: And as I mentioned earlier, Max is probably one of 526 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 14: the stupidest criticisms of Trump because this is something that 527 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 14: ninety nine point nine percent. 528 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: Of the people it's never going to impact. 529 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 14: You're never going to non you're not going to be 530 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 14: going onto the White House grounds, you're not going to 531 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 14: be going into the ballroom. Most people won't even be 532 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 14: traveling to DC to even look at this thing. And 533 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 14: it's not even paid for by taxpayer dollars. So in 534 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 14: this case, when it comes to Trump, why do you 535 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 14: even care? 536 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: What doesn't even matter to you? 537 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 22: Right, And given the situation with our media, it does 538 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 22: to your point, John, it brings up a broader issue 539 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 22: and we have to be in the age of discernment 540 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 22: right now. Where where are these stories coming from and 541 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 22: why are they being written the way they are. It 542 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 22: reminds me a lot, I got to say, it reminds 543 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 22: me a lot of when this J. Jones story came 544 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 22: out where he wanted to kill his Republican opponent's children 545 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 22: in a text message. Well, immediately after that, you had 546 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 22: Politico come out with this young Republican story, and it's like, 547 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 22: is that a real thing that happened? Was there a 548 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 22: group chat where uncouth things were said? Yes, that's objectively true, 549 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 22: but you also have to ask why is this coming 550 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 22: out now and who originated the story and how should 551 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 22: we react based on that, because this is a classic 552 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 22: example of a non story that's being made into a story, 553 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 22: specifically as a Democrat hit piece. 554 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 11: Right. 555 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 14: That's it. It's a great comment here from chat on 556 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 14: a Freedom Friday. 557 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: You know, John, I actually love it. 558 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 28: Every time Tom calls, he's really always got great points, 559 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 28: very sus saint, he's really on point typically, but this 560 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 28: is a total Missly believes that Trump is out there 561 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 28: with a clipboard a hard hat overseeing this thing like 562 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 28: he's distracted because a couple of contractors are on site 563 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 28: building a ballroom. An absolute joke, total fate, made up stuff, 564 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 28: just crazy. 565 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a great. 566 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 10: Day, man. 567 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: I posted photographs yesterday.

But Trump's administration also added a 586 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 22: few other major events to the timeline in the last week. 587 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 22: Nineteen ninety eight, the Bill Clinton scandal, twenty twelve, Barack 588 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 22: Obama's Muslim Brotherhood visit, twenty twenty three, cocaine discovered and 589 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 22: it's only a picture of Hunter Biden smoking a cigarette 590 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 22: in the bathtub.

Do you really think that Trump, the Trump 603 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 14: administration and Trump personally is going to go and accept 604 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 14: donations knowing he's going to have to give favors back 605 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 14: to the individuals who donated with the level of scrutiny 606 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 14: that he is under if he were that corrupt, give 607 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 14: me a break already.

He was asked by the media, 613 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 14: who gave you this? He is the person wanted to 614 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 14: remain anonymous. Are we going to see criticism coming from 615 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 14: Tom and Special Guy and other Democrats right now going well, 616 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 14: you know that money that's supposed to go and you know, 617 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 14: be a stopgap for those veterans while they're not getting 618 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 14: paid because the Democrats shutdown.

There is no gun to your 626 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 22: head right now about what you should think. However, again, 627 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 22: there is what's actually happening, and there's why the story 628 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 22: is being written, and we have to be cognizant of 629 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 22: that as conservatives because Oftentimes the biggest lie that the 630 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 22: media tells is a lie by omission or a lie 631 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 22: without a conclusion. And in this case, again, where did 632 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 22: the story originate? 633 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 14: It originated as a hit piece.

They could write that about any one morning. 638 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 21: John Max say, I just saw a story about that 639 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 21: the donor list there, it has been released.

The ordinance would also 663 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 14: ban ghost guns just in time for all hallows eve, 664 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 14: large capacity magazines, binary triggers, binary triggers within city limits. 665 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 14: They can't do any of this, by the way, this 666 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 14: is a colossal waste of time in virtue signaling you 667 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 14: have thrown out in the courts. We have preemption. This 668 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 14: is never going to end up running through the legislature. 669 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 14: Even if it did, it's not going to pass. They 670 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 14: won't have Democrat votes for this either. 671 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 2: Of course. 672 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 14: Moms Demand Action express support for this. The Gun Owner's 673 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 14: Law Center in the Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus, who opposes 674 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 14: the ordinance, express concerns that it could confuse gun owners. 675 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 14: Rob Doorr says, for us, the biggest issue is that 676 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 14: one is that one people who look at the ordinances 677 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 14: may not understand they're not actually in effect yet, and 678 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 14: so they may alter their conduct and it will chill 679 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 14: the exercise. 680 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 2: Of their right. 681 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 14: That was according to Robdor from the Minnesota Gun Owner's 682 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 14: Caucus and the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. In the wake 683 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 14: of these gun owners groups or of Saint Paul moving 684 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 14: forward with this ordinance, said earlier this week in a 685 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 14: letter to Carter and the City Council that the Minnesota 686 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 14: courts have repeatedly held that municipalities may not do indirectly 687 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 14: what they are forbidden to do directly. An ordinance that 688 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 14: is invalid today does not become valid merely because its 689 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 14: enforcement is deferred until after an unspecified future date. And 690 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 14: they say they'll move to sue the Gun Owner's Caucus 691 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 14: does they say they'll move to sue if Saint Paul 692 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 14: moves forward with this firearms or ordinance. The City Council 693 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 14: in Minneapolis is moving forward with our own ordinance as planned. 694 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 14: City Council President Rebecca Knooker before Wednesday city council meetings 695 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 14: said it's not surprising the gun owners Caucuses once again 696 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 14: standing in the way of common sense legislation that is 697 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 14: supported by the majority of Americans and then saved lives. 698 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 2: Technically, it's Walls who's standing in the way. 699 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 14: He's the only one that can call the special sessions 700 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 14: so that anybody has any sort of opportunity to vote 701 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 14: on any of this. So I don't know why they're 702 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 14: complaining about the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. 703 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 22: Well, and the courts too. According to the Minnesota Gun 704 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 22: Owners Caucus letter, there's already been court precedent about this 705 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 22: exact situation. So this is going to die on the 706 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 22: vine in the court system, and it's going to cost 707 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 22: Saint Paul money. It's going to cost the taxpayers money 708 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 22: as per usual. But the reason for preemption is so 709 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 22: that you don't have peacemealed gun policy across the state, 710 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 22: so that when I am concealed carrying in North Branch 711 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 22: and I drive down to Saint Paul, I'm not a 712 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 22: criminal in Saint Paul. It only makes sense to have 713 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 22: a uniform kind of gun policy across the state. And 714 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 22: if Saint Paul wants to change it, Saint Paul can 715 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 22: go to the legislature and try to change it because 716 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 22: it's not going to work this way. 717 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 14: Next hour, former auditor makes explosive fraud claims about DFL. 718 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 14: Keith Ellison responds to the video of him not clapping 719 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 14: for veterans, saying it's a non story. Although it's funny 720 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 14: because I'm actually looking at a story. Oh it's not story, 721 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 14: but there's a story rare, there's a story about it 722 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 14: right here. I got my finger on it. Also, we'll 723 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 14: have a Grace keating from American Experiment. They're joining us 724 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 14: in studio. I think I mentioned Tom Emmer's coming up 725 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 14: in ak Kamara as well. And on a Freedom Friday, 726 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 14: you're on and off topic comments all morning long here 727 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 14: on Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty and one 728 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 14: oh three five FM. 729 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 9: Come on, Melvin, you got a bunch of people running 730 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 9: around Saint Paul open carrying ars and M sixteen's and 731 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 9: AK forty seven. 732 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 22: Fix the hole on seventh Street. 733 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 25: Stop wasting amen. 734 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 5: Money Invergirl Heights checking in here. The ball arm's a 735 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 5: great idea. It'll save money because they won't be renting 736 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 5: off site venues. And think of the security for visiting 737 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 5: heads of state, how much better and safer it will be. 738 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 5: I don't know why they didn't do it sooner.
