1
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Hour two for a Thursday Twin City's News talk at

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM Freedom

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: Friday tomorrow, although I failed to reach out to the

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: guests for tomorrow to confirm they're going to be here,

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: so I'm making some bold assumptions. Win saw Project Hail

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Mary again yesterday afternoon, and I'm such a creature of

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: habit that in the time that I was watching the

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: film again with my family, That's usually the time on

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Wednesdays when I reach out to the Freedom Friday guests

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: to confirm they're going to be here, and of course,

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: because I was at the movie, I didn't do that.

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: It should be though, ak Kamara, Max Raymer, and Grace

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Keating back from her world travels.

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: It was funny.

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I was listening to the American Experiment podcast this week

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: with Catherine and Grace. Another good episode, but I had

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: it on as I was doing my prep either Tuesday

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: or I think it was Wednesday or Tuesday Tuesday or

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning. Anyway, I'm in the middle of listening to

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: it as I'm doing my prep, so I'm kind of

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: half paying attention at the start of it, and suddenly

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I hear one of our music beds and it kind

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: of catches my ear. I'm like what, and then I

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: hear my voice. I'm like, what is going on? Because

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I didn't hear the transition into it. They played back

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: a portion of the show from last Friday, where in

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Max and Ak were talking about how Catherine and Grace

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: being out on vacation and whether or not they took

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: paid family leave just completely threw me off and was like,

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: why am I listening to myself? It was all very meta,

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: all right? Before we move off of this, I got

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: a couple of comments that rolled into the iHeartRadio app

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: here on Twin City's News Talk.

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: My name is John Justice.

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: A Plain High School honors English class book list featuring

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: several titles with sexually explicit content. I mean, it's pornographic.

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest here, it's pornographic. A concerned parent

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: who voice to Worries on Facebook is arguing the books

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: are inappropriate for ninth graders, questions the district's approval process,

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: which is absolutely correct. The district maintains that the books

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: are optional and parents can request alternative materials. That's great,

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: that's all fine and dandy, but they shouldn't be even

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: made available in the first place, in my opinion, let's

44
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: get to a few of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app.

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: The reason the left once these books being provided in

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: public school is this is the next level of indoctrination.

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: We already know what's happened for decades to our kids,

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: and now that's the liberal class. And to continue this

49
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 3: they have to go deeper. And that deeperness is the

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: disgusting stuff that they're providing. Used to be reading, writing, arithmetic,

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: Now it's everything, but it's all socialism and Marxism to

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: the youth degree.

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Well, you're absolutely right. There's another angle to this too,

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: and it's this. It's that liberal mentality that's out there.

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: It's all about the politics. It's all about elections. It's

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: all about creating as many Democrat voters as possible. Now,

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: granted Republicans want to do that as well, but it's

58
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: through the beliefs in the ideology. Is not forcing it

59
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: upon anybody. They want to force it upon the students.

60
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: They want them sexually confused, they want them sexually active,

61
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: because it causes a lot of confusion and difficulty, messes

62
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: with people's minds. It twists what those acts are supposed

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: to be about. It should be reserved for parents at home.

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: If parents want to teach their kids that stuff at

65
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: an early age, they can do that at home. But again,

66
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: they've reset the standard within our schools.

67
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: You're the bad.

68
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: Person for wanting to get rid of it, even though

69
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: it's completely inappropriate to be read out loud on the

70
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: radio or in a public forum, but they simply do

71
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: not care.

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: Maybe Governor wald Neeeds to another read a book out

73
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: loud ay.

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 4: And all the creatures from the bats to the bugs,

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: covered old fluff with kisses and hugs, and that's how

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: the story of fluffalo and with a happy old buffalo

77
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: snuggling his friends.

78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: John, just to put a quick bow on your discussion

79
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 5: on books, it's interesting, and I realize Democrats have never

80
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: been afraid of hypocrisy. But it's not the books that

81
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 5: they want kids to read. It's also the books that

82
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 5: they don't want kids to read. Tom Sawyer to Kill

83
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 5: a Mockingbird, classics that have been in schools for you years,

84
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: but they don't want them to read them because of

85
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 5: supposedly racist language.

86
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Interesting, and it.

87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: Should be pointed out that those are classics that earned

88
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: that title. The language in the books may be inappropriate,

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: inappropriate then inappropriate now certainly by today's standards, but they

90
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: are classics and their classics for a reason, and they're

91
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: teachable moments for students. You see, the left wants to

92
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: go and ban those particular books because it doesn't fit

93
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: into the paradigm of propaganda that they spew.

94
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: You don't want a normal life.

95
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: They want to be able to exploit what they say

96
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: are racist themes or language wherein their opportunities to go

97
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: and teach the students that one, yeah, that language is

98
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: inappropriate and shouldn't be used, but two also products of

99
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: their time. The books that are being pushed now upon

100
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the kids, there's nothing about that.

101
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: They haven't earned that status. They're not.

102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there's certainly products of our modern time, but

103
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't justify they're explicit pornographic nature.

104
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: Not even close.

105
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 5: Hey, John, with respect to those books and Blaine, if

106
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: they really want to solve the problem, what they need

107
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 5: to do is pursue criminal charges for distributing to minors.

108
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: That's the better approach rather than civil court.

109
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: And I would be very curious as to why those

110
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: types of moves have not been made already. Maybe there's

111
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: some legal standing in here where it's a gray area

112
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: where there aren't charges that necessarily apply to this.

113
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I would think that there are.

114
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: But the fact that we haven't seen any legal challenges

115
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: like that leads me to believe that there's a portion

116
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: of that that I might be missing that I need

117
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: to do some further research on.

118
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: Thanks everybody, You guys are the best.

119
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: All right, So quick update. You heard this at the

120
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: top of the hour. A DHS deal is in limbo.

121
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Democrats are demanding tougher ICE crackdowns despite GOP compromises. The

122
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats rejected the GOP's offer to reopen DHS still

123
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: in pursuit of reforms to ICE. So the proposal put

124
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: forward by Republicans was similar to a proposal that Democrats

125
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: tried to advance on the Senate floor twice during the shutdown,

126
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: which is now in this thirty ninth day as of

127
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: yesterday today marks fortyiment. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats

128
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: aren't satisfied with the latest offer, which is still being finalized.

129
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: But again to the point, this is exactly the same

130
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: thing that they tried to vote on before that. Republicans

131
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: are actually catering to them on As I said yesterday,

132
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: there's no deal on this until after the No Kings protest.

133
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: That's just there's going to be no deal this week.

134
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: There's no way that Democrats to anything that Republicans want. One,

135
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: just generally speaking, I don't think it's gonna happen, But two,

136
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: it's certainly not going to happen before this weekend's rallies.

137
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: It's hysterical too.

138
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this in a moment, but local

139
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: media is they're doing everything they can to help promote

140
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: these rallies. Every single news outlet this morning has a

141
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: story about where you can get involved, what time did

142
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: they start, to all the necessary details. There could be

143
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand people at these rallies. Yeah,

144
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: and I don't care. Democrats are still wanting stringent reforms

145
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: on ICE baked into any deal and have shut down

146
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: the previous offers from the White House that addressed most

147
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: of their main concerns.

148
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, because then this is real. It's all just grandstanding.

149
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: There was a win for the Trump administration though yesterday

150
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: they can hold the Ice of detainees with.

151
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: Well, let me go this route here. The a Circuit

152
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: Court of Appeals.

153
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Ruled in favor of the mandatory detention of illegal aliens.

154
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: This reversed the lower court's decision. The ruling is applicable

155
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, in five other states, and an alignance with

156
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: a similar decision by the Fifth Circuit Court establishing mandatory

157
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: detention across a large region region. So the case originated.

158
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: In August of twenty five. The appeals court reversed to

159
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: a district court judge's decision to order the release of

160
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: an illegal alien.

161
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: For mice custody.

162
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: The majority decided that the statutory language doing that thing

163
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: with my fingers of shall be detained really does mean

164
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: just that I'm working off a version here from American

165
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: experiment courtesy of Bill Lawn. Politico reports it this way

166
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: because since the beginning of this year, more than eleven

167
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: hundred such cases had been filed in Minnesota alone. The

168
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: ruling carries particularly acute implications for Minnesota, where federal de

169
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: district judges are bound to follow it. Hundreds of people

170
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: detained during a recent ice crackdown in the Twin Cities

171
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: have filed petitions far released from custody by challenging the

172
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: administration's interpretation of the law, and nearly every district judge

173
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: in the state had sided with the petitioners. But now

174
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: this appeals court is backing Trump and their ability to

175
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: hold ICE detainees. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reached

176
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: the same conclusion earlier this year. Now Political notes that

177
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: some judges in Texas are still releasing detainees under a different,

178
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: untested due process argument. Look for Minnesota based judges to

179
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: try the same stunt. With the Fifth and Eighth Circuits

180
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: agreeing on the matter, Mandatory alien detention is now the

181
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: law of the land in an unbroken swath of the

182
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Mid Continent from the Canadian border down to the Gulf

183
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: of America, writes Bill Glahn. These judges have the Trump

184
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Arrangement syndrome just like the rest of Democrats do, and

185
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: they have the same goal just like other Democrats do.

186
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: Just like the insurrectionists that took to the streets to

187
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: go and obstruct Ice and their lawful actions, just like

188
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: the individuals will take to the streets.

189
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: And protest no kings this weekend.

190
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: They're only supporting that which hopefully will help them win

191
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: elections in the future, that's it. And if that means

192
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: you have to get behind criminals, and that means you

193
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: have to get behind criminals, that's what Democrats do. They

194
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: will support to anybody who they believe is going to

195
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: end up voting as a Democrat. You go all the

196
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: way back to that argument that used to be used

197
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: against Trump of you know, Trump could shoot somebody in

198
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: the face and Magnet would still support him. First off,

199
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: it's absolutely not true. But secondly, no, all they're doing

200
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: is gas laden because that's how they are. You can

201
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: murder some you can have an illegal alien murder somebody

202
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: in cold blood, and yet leadership will still be out

203
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: there wanting to go and get rid of ice. It

204
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: happened yesterday with Mayor Brandon Johnson in the wake of

205
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: the murder of that young woman at the hands of

206
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: an illegal alien, he came out yesterday with a new

207
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: snowplow nicknamed about abolishing ICE. I mean, does it get

208
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: any any more twisted than that a one is murdered

209
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: under his watch by an illegal alien and he's still

210
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: out there pushing back against federal agents who want to

211
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: go and arrest, detain, and deport individuals that are murdering

212
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: American citizens on the streets. No, it's Democrats that will

213
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: go and support even murderers to achieve their political ends.

214
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: It is going to be a star stuttered affair this

215
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,239
Speaker 1: weekend though, with a No King's rally, Bruce Springsteen the headliner.

216
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: He's doubling down on his anti Trump, anti ice stance.

217
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: I will.

218
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: Allow you to endure thirty seconds of Bruce Springsteen talking

219
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: about this very issue, and then ahead of my conversation

220
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: getting into the vehicle tabs, we will talk about Democrats

221
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: attempts to reset the baseline standard of what is acceptable

222
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: on what isn't acceptable relating to ice enforcement. They are

223
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: a very, very soft, delicate, and easily triggered political party.

224
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 1: We'll get to your comments as well from the iHeartRadio

225
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: app coming up on Twin City's News Talk AM eleven

226
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:57,199

00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: Good Morning.

228
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Regarding the No Kings rally, will Bruce Springsteen sing his

229
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: Born in the USA? Song? Oh? I don't know, although

230
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: apparently maybe I do have an answer to that question.

231
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: Hey, this is Bruce Sprazy. I hate your show.

232
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 6: I'm saying not born in the USA.

233
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think that was Bruce. I could be wrong.

234
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: The show is relatively popular Twin City's News Talk. Hey,

235
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm eleven thirty one oh three five FM.

236
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: Oh. It's going to be an interesting weekend. Man.

237
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: More specifically, Monday is going to be very interesting because

238
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of audio and videos

239
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: to share.

240
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: I look forward to these.

241
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: They provide so much content online from the lunatics that

242
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: are out protesting.

243
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: It's just an anti Trump rally, It's all these are

244
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: No Kings.

245
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota will host the largest No King's protest rally state

246
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: Capital twenty eighth activist musicians, state officials Joan Biaz, Jane Fonda,

248
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Attorney General Keith Ellison. Organizers say

249
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: the event adheres to the shared commitment to non violent protest,

250
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: community and safety. Organizers also announced that Bruce Springsteen and

251
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Sanders will take part in the program.

252
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: Is Bernie Singing with Bruce.

253
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Boss, he defended his anti Ice and

254
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: anti Trump political stances ahead of the rallies this weekend,

255
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: emphasizing the importance of the movement and the power of

256
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: music to elevate the moment. Springsteen's new song Streets of

257
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Minneapolis to Trash that it is criticizes Trump and his

258
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: administration's deployment of federal agents too crack down on a

259
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: legal immigration in the state, leading to a backlash from

260
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: the White House. He posted that would be Bruce Springsteen

261
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: posted a thirty second video of him in the East

262
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Street Band talking about going out on tour.

263
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: Minneapolis, Partner in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, nowrd Sunrise, Florida, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Belmont,

264
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 6: Long Island, Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Cleveland.

265
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 7: Boston, and Washington, d C. The East Street Band is

266
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 7: coming your way and we are bringing hope over fear,

267
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 7: democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics

268
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 7: over unbridled corruption, unity over division, and peace over.

269
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: Everything He described was what democrats do. Ice was enforcing

270
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: the rule of law. They want to bring about peace fraud.

271
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: That's all been taking place by Democrats. Someone needs to

272
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: have a chat with Bruce. He needs to stop watching

273
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: MS now and all the local media outlets. Democrats have

274
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: done a fantastic job of making the broken and brainwashed

275
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: in their party just a bunch of feeling driven, easily

276
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: triggered softies. I was watching a video this morning of

277
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: a woman. I was gonna play it on the air,

278
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: but it requires some editing and I was really really

279
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: busy as I was prepping the show today. But basically

280
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: it's her saying that she cries twice a.

281
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Day over President Donald Trump.

282
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: Just this young woman, probably in her early thirties, looks

283
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: perfectly healthy. Is there nobody in the lives of these

284
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: individuals that post these videos online?

285
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: If they are legitimate?

286
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just assume for a moment that this lunatic

287
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: of a woman saying she cries every single day about

288
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: the world that President Donald Trump has created here in America,

289
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: is there nobody around in her life to actually sit

290
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: her down and going Can you tell me directly how

291
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump has impacted you, like, specifically, how have

292
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: you been negatively impact would have respected individuals that well,

293
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, gas prices are a little higher because of

294
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: the war that's raising in the Middle East. Okay, I'll

295
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: give that to you, but that's not the stuff that

296
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: they're complaining about. It's all these ancillary things that just

297
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: aren't true or real. Just like Bruce Springsteen, they've bought

298
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: into all of this ridiculous propaganda because, as I've said

299
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: since the start of the show, the Democrats have done

300
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: a very good job of resetting the basic standards societal

301
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: standards that we used to adhere to when it comes

302
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: to a host of different issues. What is or isn't

303
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: appropriate for underaged children, how much you should have to

304
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: pay for your vehicle tabs, We'll get to that tom

305
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: leading up to it, or in this case, ice agents

306
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: harassing individuals. Let me dive into this piece coming up

307
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: in just a moment here on Twin Cities News Talk.

308
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: State Representative Socket Wrench, Brad Tabke is going to make multiple.

309
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: Appearances via a few stories this morning.

310
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: He is the highlight in this article Minnesota Democrats reported

311
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: being followed harassed by ICE agents during immigration surge. I mean,

312
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: the most left leaning of left leaning articles by the

313
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota Star Tribune. State Representative Brad Tabke had been followed,

314
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: had been following excuse me, he had been following what

315
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: he believed it to be immigration agents driving through his

316
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: southwest western suburban district in early January when the SUV

317
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: suddenly pulled into his neighborhood, like, there's nothing criminal going

318
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: on here, and you have legitimate reasons if you're an

319
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: ICE agent to go and look into individuals that are

320
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: trailing you and stalking you while you're out trying to

321
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: arrest criminals in this state. But it's all too much

322
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat. They should be allowed to stalk, impede, obstruct,

323
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement agents, act like a bunch of insurrectionists

324
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: with no accountability whatsoever. But heaven forbid, And it's in

325
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: this article that I'll share coming up with the next segment.

326
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: You look menacingly at somebody who's on the left, and

327
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: it's the worst thing in the world. We must defund

328
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: ice because he looked.

329
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: At me the wrong way.

330
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: That's essentially the arguments that Democrats have been putting up.

331
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 8: Good Morning, John, great show as always. So no King's

332
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 8: rally in Minnesota. I think that's very appropriate, given that

333
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 8: we have of a communist king in charge of the

334
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 8: state of Minnesota and all of the minions to do

335
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 8: his bidding. And then you have a bunch of nobodies,

336
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 8: I mean, really, Jane Fonda, Johan bias. I mean, holy smokes,

337
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 8: were digging in deep.

338
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: Have fun, Stacy, expect for the next eleven months for

339
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: me to ride you like you've never been ridden.

340
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: Buffalo Buffalo, Hi John.

341
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 9: I think before the No King's Rally that Donald Trump

342
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 9: should sign an executive order stating that no president will

343
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 9: declare themselves king or queen and that no king or

344
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 9: queen shall rule over the United States from the year

345
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 9: seventeen seventy six until the end of time.

346
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: And let's end this.

347
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: Mess, Kia. He could do the funniest thing if he

348
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: did that. That's a fantastic idea yea. Thank you for

349
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: the talkbacks from the iHeart Radio app. On a personal note,

350
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: not the first time I've said this on the air,

351
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: but I can always tell when I've had a good

352
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: show because the foes of the show, they just come

353
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork. It never fails, whether it's talkbacks

354
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: or whether it's emails. And yesterday I got a bunch.

355
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: I did do some purging though, because as I've also said,

356
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: I can put talkbacks in time out.

357
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: I have not put any friends in time out.

358
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: By the way, just so you guys know, no friends

359
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: of the show have been placed in time out. They

360
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: only go in time out for a handful of a

361
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: handful of days. I don't even know if they even

362
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: realize they're in time out. But I did put a

363
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: handful of our foes of the show in time out

364
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: just because they were spamming the talkbacks, and even if

365
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: I played one, they would still just a hammer a

366
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: whole bunch more And it ends up costing me a

367
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: lot of time while I am trying to produce this

368
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: would be award winning show hasn't actually won any awards,

369
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: but be great if it did. But it's been so

370
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: refreshing because I haven't had my talkbacks clutter this morning.

371
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: I had a guy yesterday he emails me on occasion,

372
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: just another anti Trump lunatic. He actually emailed me based

373
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: off of something that I posted on X, like why

374
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: not just respond on X?

375
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: How much more rent free could I be?

376
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: Living?

377
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: In your head?

378
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: The third term DFL lawmaker Representative Brad Tabke, who had

379
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: been leading a training for Minnesotans on observing immigration officers

380
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: during Operation Metro Surge, it's also stupid. I'm gonna train

381
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: you how to watch people do things. Okay, anybody who's

382
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: been a Lukie Lou to a car accident driving on

383
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: the roadways. I think has already received the proper training

384
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: to go and observe first responders or law enforcement of

385
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: any type conducting their work. But whatever, he watched as

386
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: the vehicle stopped in front of his Shakapie home for

387
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: a few seconds before pulling away again.

388
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: They made a big show of.

389
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Pointing a camera out of their window so that I

390
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: could see them taking pictures of my house.

391
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: Listen if that happened.

392
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: State Representative Tabke, get over you, big baby. By the way,

393
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: I bet that Brad Tabke didn't support the bill that

394
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: would ban protests from people's homes. It just shows you

395
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy. Records reviewed by the Minnesota Star Tribune show

396
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: that immigration enforcement agents ran Tabke's license plate number about

397
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: thirty minutes before the video so shows the f u

398
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Z the SUV driving past his home on January third.

399
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: You guys know that, by the way, sarcasm alert, there's

400
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of it this segment.

401
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: Did you guys know that?

402
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: Did you know that federal law enforcement officials and law

403
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: enforcement officials in general, they have this ability to go

404
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: and look at your license plate and then they could

405
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: put the number into this thing called the computer, and

406
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: then they can find out who you are. It's incredible,

407
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: so intimidating, you think maybe they did that because they

408
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: saw this jackwagon stocking them, had no idea they were

409
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: a state represented, a representative, and needed to be sure

410
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't a threat.

411
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: Maybe.

412
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: Tabke is one of several Democrat lawmakers who said that

413
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: they were targeted or harassed during the Trump administration's month's

414
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: long immigration crackdown in the state.

415
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: What were they doing?

416
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: Were they not targeting and harassing ice during their lawful operations.

417
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: Rules for thee but not for me.

418
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: You're a hero if you throw a urine filled water

419
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: bottle or a frozen water bottle. But heaven forbid if

420
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: your Senator Mary Kanoosh or Knesh or I don't care

421
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: who says it was all a way of threatening and

422
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: being very menacing in a way that perhaps would inhibit

423
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: us from advocating the way that we had been. Okay,

424
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: it would have been one thing if you were just

425
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: out there observing, and maybe you were, maybe Brad Tabke was,

426
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: but a bunch of other I'm gonna use the term again,

427
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: jack wagons weren't you know they were kicking out tail

428
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: lights of cars, throwing things at them, rubber mail, appendages,

429
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: doing all manner of things other than just standing back

430
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: and observing. Democrat lawmakers are now pushing legislation in response

431
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: to the tactics used by federal agents during the crackdown

432
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: in the state. What they're gonna craft a bill that

433
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: do not look at us legislation. Ice looked at me.

434
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: He looked at me with their eyes, and they were

435
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. I'm reminded when Tori Amos came to

436
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: visit when I was working for the alternative rock station.

437
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: We had a handful of Tori Amos fans that were

438
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: there for the visit. She wasn't performing or anything. We

439
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: were just doing an interview, an interview with her and

440
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: her handlers ahead of her coming into studios. Me.

441
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Let you know, Tory's very happy to be here.

442
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: We just asked that none of the visitors that are

443
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: here to see here do not make eye contact with Tori.

444
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: It makes her very uncomfortable. Devin, do you even know

445
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: who Torri Amos is? Doesn't ring a bell at all? Yeah,

446
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm old or you're just young Republicans have blamed much

447
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: of the chaos during the Ice surge on Democrat leaders. Yeah,

448
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: of course they have. Tabke said his youngest child was

449
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: home was home alone at the time.

450
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: The whole ordeal frightened.

451
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: Him, though he said the other observers had much more

452
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: violent confrontations with immigration officers. Again, Boooo, brat Tabki. They're

453
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: so soft. It's also stupid. There is an organized insurgency

454
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: among the people of Minnesota. A small group of Minnesotans

455
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: have come together to chase, to try to track and

456
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: spread information and dox these individuals and these officers, even

457
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: individuals who were there protesting on.

458
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: The other side of the aisle.

459
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: This was according to Senator Michael Holstrom, Republican out of

460
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: a Buffalo friend of the show. That criticism was echoed

461
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: by Representative Bidal Durand Junior out of BAMIGI, who said

462
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: in a February House committee hearing that we as legislators

463
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: took it to the next level when we started attacking

464
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: cops and started attacking federal agents.

465
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: Oh.

466
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: But Representative Jessica Hansen out of Burnsville DFLLER pushed back

467
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: on the comment in the committee, saying that she went

468
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: to a public park during the surge to walk her

469
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: dog and encountered dozens of ICE agents who drew their

470
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: guns and questioned why she was there. As she drove away,

471
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: the group of agents, including an armored vehicle, left the

472
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: parking lot during the driving the same direction. She feared

473
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: that they were following her, but soon realized that they

474
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: were headed to a home in her neighborhood, where they

475
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: surrounded an entire block she observed from a distance, Hansen said,

476
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: as she watched, she noticed students arriving home from school

477
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: were struggling to get to their homes because the roads

478
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: were blocked. She tried to intervene, telling agents that she

479
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: was a state lawmaker. Did she know who was being arrested?

480
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: Does she get upset if an ambulance shows up at

481
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: a house because somebody is having a heart attack and

482
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: a firetruck is there and it happens to block this, Oh, no,

483
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: children are coming home. Get rid of those EMTs in

484
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: that fire truck. That person should die because these kids

485
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: need to get home unimpeded. Give me a break already,

486
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: And the way this is described in the Star Tribute story.

487
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: Let me just go back to this, just briefly, says

488
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: she went to a park during the surge to walk

489
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: her dog and countered dozens of ICE agents who drew

490
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: their guns and questioned why she was there. They make

491
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: it sound like she just showed up, got out, and

492
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: ICE agents just drew their guns on her without anything

493
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: else happening. I guarantee you if that actually happened, because I.

494
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: Don't believe a lick of any of this anyways, they're

495
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: all a bunch of liars.

496
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: But if that indeed happened, I guarantee you there was

497
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: some other mitigating circumstance. ICE isn't just waiting at a

498
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: public park for women to show up with their dogs

499
00:30:51,520 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: so they can pull weapons on them. Was there any

500
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: physical altercation whatsoever? Has any politician had any physical altercation

501
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: with any ICE agent? Because there is no example of

502
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: this in the story, And almost every single one of

503
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: any of the physical altercations between somebody a citizen and

504
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: an ICE agent has nine times out of ten been

505
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: because the citizen instigated the situation. According to Hanson, federal

506
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: agents called her ope. Can't say that word for a

507
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: woman who is with a lot of men. Also allegedly

508
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: called her a witch with a bee and vulgar, vulgar

509
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: term to refer to women. After recognizing who I was, Okay,

510
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: how am I to professionally interact with somebody who calls

511
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: me again that word for a woman who sleeps around?

512
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: After I identified myself as a representative. Again, I don't

513
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: believe any of this, but it's all just words. What

514
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: happened to sticks and stones? Out of curiosity? One day,

515
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Kuonish said, a vehicle circled the area around a school

516
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: as she was patrolling. Like her other DFL colleagues, Kuonish

517
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: got involved in the rapid response network in her community

518
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: and patrolled near schools and bus stops on the lookout

519
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: for immigration agents.

520
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: Again, we're all just back to the live action role playing.

521
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: I was standing in front of the school and he

522
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: stopped and he rolled down his window, and he gave

523
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: me a very menacing look and said, well, good morning Mary.

524
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, you mean He rolled his window down and

525
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: he looked at you and he said your name. However,

526
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: will you recover? These are the individuals that are making

527
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: decisions on how much money they're going to take from

528
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: you at the state level. These are individuals that are

529
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: serving in positions of power, soft easily triggered radical activists patrolling.

530
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: They all suddenly think they're Jack Bauer House. DFL leader

531
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: Zac Stevenson of Kun Rapid said he had heard similar

532
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: stories from several colleagues.

533
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: Ooh.

534
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Aaron Murphy DFL out of Saint

535
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: Paul said federal agents actions were shameful. These agents know

536
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: what they're doing and should be held accountable. That's funny

537
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: because we were men told all along that the agents

538
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. I mean, that's been a

539
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: constant argument coming from Governor Tim Walls.

540
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: Thanks everybody, you guys are the best.

541
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: So far, the Democrats have not been able to build

542
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: support among the Republican colleagues Good, leaving their fate in

543
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: doubt this session. The House is evenly divided between the

544
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: two parties, and while the immigration surge has e distance

545
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: its fever pitch in January after agents shot and killed

546
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: Renee Good and Alex Pretty. According to the Star Tribune article,

547
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Representative Softy Brad Tabke said the Trump administration must be

548
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: held accountable for the Minnesota surge. It's still early, obviously,

549
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: Tabke said, but there are no repercussions so far.

550
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 7: For what.

551
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: Rolling down a window and saying a representative's name, for

552
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: running your vehicle license, for making sure you're not a

553
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: threat to them, for looking menacingly.

554
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: It's straight up fear mongering.

555
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: The Democrats, with the help of the Star Tribune, as

556
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: I said, are trying to reset the standards of what

557
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: is and isn't acceptable. There's nothing criminal about what is

558
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: laid out in this article that Democrats want legislation or

559
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: repercussions for.

560
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 9: Now.

561
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: Again, the Star Tribune runs this lengthy this was the

562
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: lead story yesterday, lashed across the homepage. Minnesota Democrats report

563
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: being followed harassed by ICE agents during immigration surge, and

564
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: right on que after this article gets posted, Governor Tim

565
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: Walls announces that he's created a council to document the

566
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: impacts of the recent federal immigration operations in Minnesota and

567
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: make recommendations to prevent future harm. Just go and pull

568
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: all the commentary that I just had regarding what their

569
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: definition of future harm is. If you're an ICE agent,

570
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 1: don't look at a dfller, do they'll run their license plate.

571
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: Walls assigned an executive order yesterday establishing a Governor's council

572
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: to record the effects of Operation Metro Surge. Minnesotans know

573
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: what happened in their communities, but too many stories have

574
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: yet to be heard, documented and shared. How many different

575
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: ways and means do people have to go and report

576
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: their grievances. I mean, you already have the normal ways

577
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: of doing this. If somebody was inappropriately dealt with by ICE, right,

578
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: if laws were violated, if freedoms were violated by an

579
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: ICE agent, you already have means of recourse. And there

580
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: are plenty of lawyers out there that are more than

581
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: willing to go and hear your case. And yet you've

582
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: got the Hennepin County Attorney setting up a new tip line.

583
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: Saint Paul is announcing something regarding this exact same thing,

584
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: that they've got a new way that you can report

585
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: any alleged ICE crimes. If you haven't gone and reported

586
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: it yet, then I'm going to venture a guest that

587
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I didn't abuse you, because if you did, I don't

588
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: know about you, but I'm probably gonna go and report it.

589
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: If somebody treats me inappropriately and it borders on criminal behavior,

590
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: the clowncil let's name this appropriately well, gather testimony, data

591
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: and first handed can to make sure Minnesotan's experiences are

592
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: preserved and heard, says Walls. Its work will inform recommendations

593
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: aimed at preventing future harm and supporting the state's long

594
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: term recovery from what being triggered, having your fefees hurt,

595
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: and mind you, we're talking about ICE agents arresting criminals

596
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: in the state. The colouncil will consist of fifteen members

597
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: from a range of backgrounds and will work with the

598
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: advocates for human rights to hold public meetings and collect stories.

599
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: This is all just DFL campaigning for the elections later

600
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: this year.

601
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: That's it.

602
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: And for every other person who believes that they're a

603
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: victim of a crime, you have to go through all

604
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: of the normal means of recourse. But if you believe

605
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: that you were met a foul by ICE agents during

606
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: Operation Metro Surge, if you are an insurrectionist, you now

607
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: have all of these other ways to address your grievances.

608
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: Anybody else who's a victim of a crime, no peer screwed.

609
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 1: You got to go to the normal route. Speaking of which,

610
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: as I talked about yesterday, Minneapolis is experiencing horizon auto

611
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: thefts sixty six vehicles reported since March twentieth.

612
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: Today's the today's the twenty sixth, just a few days.

613
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 2: This is just the other day.

614
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: That's a twenty six percent increases last year. One of

615
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: the victims was a man named Travis, who shared home

616
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: surveillance video of his car pulling out of his driveway.

617
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: I seen that car back down, and my keys were

618
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: still in the house. I already knew somebody stole it.

619
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: He ran to a neighbor's home, where more camera footage

620
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: showed two guys walking through the alley going toward my car.

621
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: He said.

622
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: A family member eventually connected him with the people who

623
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: knew the teens involved. He called me back like an

624
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: hour later, and he was like, he figured out who

625
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: got my car. I'm reading the quote directly here from

626
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: the story. They were asking for money. They wanted me

627
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: to give them fifteen hundred bucks just for them to

628
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: tell me where the location of my car was. Travis

629
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: said the teens has sent him photos and videos of

630
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: the car surroundings. They were sending me pictures where the

631
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: car was parked, what's around the car, he said. He

632
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: and several relatives spent hours comparing the images to real

633
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: locations by ten pm Friday. They found the car in

634
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: an apartment parking lot. As soon as I hit the

635
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: car starter, the car started right up. The first thing

636
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: was to jump in the car and pull the car

637
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: out of there. But the damage was extensive.

638
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: He said.

639
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: The loss of sentimental items hurt the most. They threw

640
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: out my son's car seat, They threw out programs from

641
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: funerals and stuff. They broke my sun roof, they broke

642
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: my windshield, he said. The theft has been hard on

643
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: his family. Listen, this is real criminal behavior. This isn't,

644
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, a state representative complaining that an ICE agent

645
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: ran his plate after he was stalking them around town.

646
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: An elected official, mind you, this isn't having an elected

647
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: official have to look at an ICE agent who rolled

648
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: their window down and say their name. This isn't some

649
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: kakamami story of going to walk your dog and suddenly

650
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: randomly a bunch of ICE agents pull guns on you. Now,

651
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: this is a guy who actually had his car stolen.

652
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: But again, there's now a new colouncil to document the

653
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: impact on Minnesotan's of ICE operations.

654
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: But for individuals like this, now you got to deal

655
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 2: with it on your own.

656
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: According to MPD, non Kia and non Hyundai vehicles stolen

657
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: without keys were up nearly sixty percent compared to this

658
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: time last year.

659
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: I talked about this yesterday, but where's Keith Ellison on this?

660
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: More specifically, where is the local media going to Keith

661
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: Ellison's office saying didn't you launch a lawsuit and win

662
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: that lawsuit against Kiya and Hyundai as you focused on

663
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: dealing with auto thefts?

664
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: And yet.

665
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: Now non Kia and Hundai vehicles stolen without keys or

666
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: up sixty percent compared to this time last year.

667
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: A lot of good that did.

668
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: By the way, this story from Channel five is just

669
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: late to the party. We reported this when that whole

670
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: situation went down, of Keith.

671
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 2: Ellison's scapegoating Kia.

672
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: And Hyundai, because the truth of the matter is those

673
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: two auto manufacturers only represented a tiny fraction of the

674
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: make and models of vehicles that were stolen. When you

675
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: combine all the other vehicle manufacturers, they were just a

676
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: small portion of it. So we all knew this was

677
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: going to happen. The Department says a relatively small group

678
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: of individuals as responsible for the significant share of auto

679
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: thefts in the city. Travis said he gave officers everything

680
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: that he found, the videos, the photos, the social media accounts.

681
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: Basically, they didn't do anything.

682
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: All they say is they're juveniles and there ain't much

683
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: they could do. Even if they catch them, they lock

684
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: them up, but they'll get right back out again.

685
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: And that is on.

686
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, because these are future voters.

687
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: These juveniles are their future voters, their future activists, so

688
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: they must be protected. Was it Minneapolis Police their short staff.

689
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to criticize them for not helping these individuals.

690
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 2: I get it. I understand what they have to deal with.

691
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: Let me just point out again, here's an individual that

692
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: has all the evidence necessary to go and arrest the

693
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: people who stole his car, broke his automobile, threatened to

694
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: ransom to get his car back, and yet he gets

695
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: no help, while Governor Tim Walls and the Democrats complain

696
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: about being looked at wrong by ICE agents and set

697
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: up coloncils to document the further impact of federal law

698
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: enforcement agents arresting criminals. Yes, you can insert the make

699
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: it make sense here to the commentary.

700
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: One more point on this.

701
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: There's a piece out of Channel five sixteen Minneapolis youth

702
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: auto theft to charges this year as diversion group sounds

703
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: alarm so new numbers from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office

704
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: show how many young suspects are actually being charged in

705
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: these auto thefts. Twenty three youth so far sixteen from Minneapolis.

706
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: Seventy nine youth were charged with auto thefts out of

707
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight submitted, twenty nine were referred

708
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: to a youth diversion program, so they're basically led free

709
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: and then there's just outstealing again. But individuals who are

710
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: in charge of the groups like Touch Outreach, he's the

711
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: executive director, Mohammed abdul Ahad. He says, we hear the

712
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: same thing every day. A lot of people are sick

713
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 1: and tired of their vehicles coming up missing. He talks

714
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: about videos being posted on TikTok from the individuals who

715
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: are actually going and stealing the car. The director of

716
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: Touch Outreach, he says, in his view, the motivations often simple.

717
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: A lot of these kids just don't know, don't have

718
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: anything else to do right. A lot of this is

719
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: coming out of pure boredom and just excitement. And you know,

720
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: a lack of accountability. So what was his solution to this?

721
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: He says, well, you know what, more work needs to

722
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: be done to mentor youth and intervene before the crimes escalate.

723
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: We need a lot more you know, share how this

724
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: makes you feel? Type of diversion programs, because that's essentially what.

725
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: They amount to.

726
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: They take these juveniles into custody, they sit them down,

727
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: and they go so listen, listen, share, Share Why what

728
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: motivated you to do this?

729
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 2: What are you getting out of this? How is this

730
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: making you feel?

731
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: What ancillary things in your life are causing you because

732
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't normally go and do this, right, are causing

733
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: you to go and steal this car?

734
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: Share how it makes you feel?

735
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 5: Oh?

736
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: He says more work is needed.

737
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: Specifically, he said, you know what, the work requires more

738
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: resources to make a real impact. In the midst of

739
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 1: all of this, Minnesota car registration fees are higher than ever.

740
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: Do not expect them to go down.

741
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats at the state Capitol are split over

742
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: whether to lower tab fees.

743
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 2: This session, we're going to dive into this.

744
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: I want to get to your talkbacks as well regarding

745
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: this particular issue. We'll also talk about the long and

746
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: strange history of license plates in the US, because honestly,

747
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to make an argument here that we don't

748
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: even need we shouldn't even be charging this. It should

749
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: be minimal ten twenty bucks a year, if that that's acceptable.

750
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 2: Except now that's not the case.

751
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: You know it, and I know it, thousands of dollars

752
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: a year more than your car payment if you have

753
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: a new vehicle.

754
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 2: And what do Democrats want to do? They want to

755
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: charge you even more.

756
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: We'll get to that next year on Twin City's News

757
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: Talk
