I previously 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: shared with you before I got here, Before I even 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 3: got here, I met with them. I said I was 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 3: going to meet with the governor, the AG and the 30 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: mayor Fry mayor her and I've done all of that. 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: I've also met with various police chiefs and sheriffs, and 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: one thing we all had in common was the importance 33 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: of ensuring and maintaining public safety. Overall, we made a 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: lot of progress through extensive engagement meeting with them and 35 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: other key stakeholders, and it is expected that those engagements 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: and discussions will continue going forward in order to enhance 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: exchange of information and more coordination. As a result of 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: this surge operation, we have greatly reduced the number of 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: targets for enforcement action and many criminal aliens have been 40 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: arrested and taken off their streets, including murders, sex offenders, 41 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 3: national security threats, gang. 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 4: Members, and other violent criminals. 43 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: Just this week, ICE arrested a criminal alien with criminal 44 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: convictions for rape acts with a child under fourteen years 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: of age with force blued and lascivious acts with a 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: child under fourteen. ICE also arrested two criminal aliens with 47 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: criminal sexual misconduct convictions, among other violent criminals. Through targeted 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: enforcement operations based on reasonable suspicion and prioritizing safety and security. 49 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: ICE will continue to identify, arrest and remove illegal aliens 50 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: opposal risk to public safety like we've done for you years, 51 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: and our officers will carry out good duties with professionalism, integrity, 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: and compassion like we've done for years. We will enforce 53 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: the immigration law against all persons in the United States illegally. 54 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: I want to say something about the various unfounded complaints 55 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: I'm hearing about ICE enforcement. 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: Operations during the surge operation. 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: ICE has not arrested anybody inside a hospital. We have 58 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: not arrested anybody inside of a school an elementary school. 59 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: We have not arrested anybody inside the church. As a 60 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: matter of fact, the only ones that disrespect to the 61 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: sanctuary of a church were the agitators that have been 62 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: arrested and prosecuted in so far we have nine of them. However, 63 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: those locations are not off the table. At seven day one, 64 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: There's no sanctuary for a significant public safety. 65 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: Threat or national security threat. 66 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: But as far as those stories about ICE going into 67 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 3: churches arresting people in hospitals, it simply has not happened. 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: And if you have a case where happened. 69 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: Do you let me know, Because all the dig and 70 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: I've done here, I can't find a single one. Under 71 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: President Trump's direction, we have attained an unprecedented level of 72 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: coordination law enforcement officials that is focused on promoting public 73 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: safety across the entire state. Well, I don't agree with 74 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: Governor waltson, Attorney General Ellison and everything. I appreciate the 75 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: support that Governor gives the state agencies who coordinate with 76 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: us and the manner intended to promote public safety. And 77 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: I appreciate the age having an open dialogue with me. 78 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: Early on the first meeting, I had acknowledging that county 79 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: jails may notify ICE or the release day of an 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: inmate just as long as they don't hold them past 81 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: the time they would normally release them. We now have 82 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: the ability to arrest criminal aliens and the safety and 83 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: security of jails throughout the state at the time they're 84 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: being released, like we've done in other states. I've also 85 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: directed the strategic placement of officers in certain areas throughout 86 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: the states that correspond quickly to sheriffs that want to 87 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: release somebody and nullify us. 88 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: We need to be nearby so they don't hold them unnecessarily. 89 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: So we worked on a strategic plan to reassign officers 90 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: in those key locations. Arrest in a public safety threat 91 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: and the safety and security of a jail is safer 92 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: for the alien, is safer for the officer, and safer 93 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: for the community. 94 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: I think we all agree on that it. 95 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: Requires less resources through at large operations. It just makes sense. 96 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: I'll say it again as I said many times, we 97 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: are not asking local law and forces to act as 98 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 3: immigration officers. I don't want them to be immigration officers. 99 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: We're the immigration officers. We just want them to be cops. 100 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: We're asking law enforcement to coordinate with other law enforcement 101 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: to help keep public safety risk of the communities. We 102 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: have also strengthened our existing coordination with the state to 103 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: target and take cause the criminal anilies more efficiently and effectively. 104 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: As a results of our efforts, here in Minnesota is 105 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: now less of a sanctuary state for criminals, and we 106 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: are probab of the public safety threats we have. 107 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 4: Removed from the criminal ANMAGS out of the state. 108 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 3: As I said in my first press conference a couple 109 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 3: of weeks ago, President Trump didn't send me here because 110 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: the operations were being run and conducted perfectly. I came 111 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: here to identify issues and implement solutions to improve our 112 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 3: mission execution. Since that time, in order to improve target 113 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: enforcement operation, I am my team here. We may personnel changes. 114 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 3: We integrated BP with the ICE teams. We established a 115 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 3: single U to fin chain of command structure. We strengthen 116 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: joyed intelligence and targeting capabilities. We deployed body campus. We 117 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: increase the footprint of internal affairs. We commuted zero tolerance 118 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: for misconducts. 119 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: You're listening to Borders our Tom Homan and a live 120 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: press conference from Minneapolis here on Twin Cities News Talking 121 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: Am eleven thirty and one on three five FM. 122 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: Hold on the streets here between federal law enforcement and 123 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: unlawful agitators while working the course correct and improve how 124 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: enforcement operations are being run and executed here, and even 125 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: before I was sent up here, I've been saying over 126 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: and over that forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or 127 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: interfering where the federal law enforcement officer is a crime 128 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: in violation of USC one eleven. It's not okay. It 129 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: will not be tolerated. Zero tolerance. If you cross that 130 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: line and put hands on a nice officer.

Go talk to your members 140 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: of Congress.

The US Attorney's Office has already accepted many 152 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: for prosecutions and some are still pending. I have also 153 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: received commitments from state and local law enforcement that they 154 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 3: will respond if federal law enforcement is being impeded or assaulted. 155 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 3: They will shut down unlawful agitator activity, including arresting agitators 156 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 3: involved and seeing them folved through and we're seeing the 157 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: follow through this commitment. We've seen this past weekend that 158 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 3: this state and local law enforce have taken action when 159 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 3: it comes to public safety. 160 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: And blessed you've been listening to the press conference and 161 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: borders are Tom Homan basically countering the irrational and false 162 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: narratives and straight up lies that have been put out 163 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: by the left, by elected officials, by the agitators commentators. 164 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: As he mentioned, no one's been arrested in schools, and 165 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: yet you have all these stories of fear running rampant 166 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: through the schools. Nobody's been arrested in hospitals, and yet 167 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: you have an active attempt to go and radicalize our 168 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: healthcare providers to get involved in the pushback against Ice. 169 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: And much of what he's saying too is not going 170 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: to make Governor Tim Walls, Keith Ellison, Jacob Fry very 171 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: happy considering the fact that you do have local law 172 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: enforcement that is now assisting in some of these efforts. 173 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: But good on Tom Homan for going and putting out 174 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: the truth of what actually has been taking place here 175 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis to counter those lives. 176 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 5: How much you want to bet John that Governor tampon 177 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 5: Tim will be having a press conference this afternoon cleaning 178 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: victory resistance to singing victory over the evil fed Ice. 179 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, the question is how long do they want this 180 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: to go on for because they're not allowing the draw down. 181 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: That's what's taking place here is that every time Governor 182 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Tim Walls comes out and he talks about well, maybe 183 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: they'll be leaving sooner than later, then in the same 184 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: breath they continue to perpetuate the same false narratives that 185 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: keeps the insurgents on the streets active in what they're doing. 186 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad that Tom Holman made these comments. To offer 187 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: up the truth and clarification. It's not going to matter 188 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: to those that are now politically driven because this isn't 189 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: about immigration anymore. 190 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: This is about elections. This is about. 191 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: Attempting to go and mobilize their base to rally around 192 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: something because they have nothing of policy to go and 193 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: run on. We'll get back to more of your talkbacks 194 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: coming up.

Tom Holman will be staying on the 212 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: ground as the draw down begins. He says that they're 213 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: not backing down, that they've done the operations that they 214 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: needed to do, a record number of criminal illegal aliens apprehended, 215 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: A small footprint will remain here in Minneapolis, here in 216 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota until the job is completely transferred back to the 217 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: local field office. This was all expected, and we'll see 218 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: how the Democrats go and respond to this. And what 219 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: will be interesting to see is what happens between now 220 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: and the draw down. My expectation, and I I'm going 221 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: to take a unusual stance and be a bit of 222 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: a pessimist on this, but my expectation is the agitators 223 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: are probably going to ramp up the efforts over the 224 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: course of the next week or so as this drawdown continues. 225 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: As we were talking about earlier in the show, what's 226 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: going to happen with all of these individuals now that 227 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: we're a part of something. And I'll give you some 228 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: details of this that now are suddenly going to be 229 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: left to their own devices. Once again, as I've been 230 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: saying the surge was going to end, now we're getting 231 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: a timeline. It looks as if by the end of 232 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: the month that Operation Metro Surge will have finished here. 233 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: And the question that I have again is going to be, 234 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: how are the Democrats going to respond, how is this 235 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: insurgent group going to respond? And where does it go 236 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: from here? That all remains to be seen. Your talk 237 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: back of the day is coming up in just a 238 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: moment here on Twin Cities News Talk. I do want 239 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: to go here to the iHeartRadio app talkbacks here brought 240 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: to you by Lindahl Realty. 241 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 7: Some mornings I just wake up and think, you know what, 242 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 7: let's just hand everything over to them. Let's just give 243 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 7: them the reins, let them see what's going to happen. 244 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 7: Pull ice out, Let crime run rampant, let's fraud run rampant, 245 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 7: and you know what, make your own bed. If I 246 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 7: didn't care, that's what I would propose. 247 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: Here's the problem with that, though, it doesn't matter, because 248 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats will just go and find a way to 249 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: drive a wedge between themselves and Republicans, even artificially, even 250 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: manufacturing these issues in order to continue to try to 251 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: maintain power. And your example is what happened during the 252 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: Biden administration. That's what a lot of people assumed was happening. 253 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: Biden was elected, Okay, going with the it was a 254 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: straight up election. 255 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: I'm angle on this, okay, just for the sake of 256 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: the conversation. 257 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people wouldn't voted for Biden because they 258 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: didn't want to hear anywhere about Trump and they thought 259 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: that it was still be status quo in terms of 260 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: the economy, how they were being taxed, the society guard 261 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: rails that we have in place and adhered to. 262 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: They just figured, oh, just be great, We'll get Biden 263 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: in there. 264 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: He's been doing this forever, been in politics for as 265 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: long as a lot of us have been alive. We'll 266 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: be able to continue to enjoy the life that we 267 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: had under the economy and the strength and the security 268 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: of Trump without having to hear about Trump anymore. So 269 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats got all the power, and look at what 270 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: happened in four years. If you need another example, go 271 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: back to former President Barack Obama. 272 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: Same thing. Back then. 273 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: It was Bush's bad individuals have grown up post nine 274 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: to eleven and heard nothing other than Bush's bad, Bush's bad, 275 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Bush's bad, same story retroactively a different year. A lot 276 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: of people tired of hearing about that nonsense the years 277 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: under the Bush administration. Even Republicans went and voted for 278 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: President Barack Obama. 279 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: He's on the left, but. 280 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: Man, he really seems like he's a moderate. It's going 281 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: to do great things in this country. Good step forward 282 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: and look at what Obama did. Much of the problems 283 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: we deal with today, exacerbated by the four years of 284 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, were created under former President Barack Obama for 285 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: exactly the reason of what I said a moment ago. 286 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: They will manufacture a crisis in order to continue to 287 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: gain power, perpetuate that power, and sustain that power, which 288 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: brings into question what the reaction is going to be 289 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: over the course of the next week or so with 290 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: the draw down, because I do not expect this well organized, 291 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: well equipped group that's been causing all these problems and 292 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the stories that will demonstrate here before we wrap the 293 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: show up, these individuals to just go. 294 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: Back, Oh cool, they're leaving. 295 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: By no, These these people are active now and there 296 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: is a group of individuals on the ground right now 297 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: that want. 298 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 2: To continue to agitate. 299 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: If they do, it will be the example of Democrats 300 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: over extending their hand once again. For example, with a 301 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: Girl Scout to cookie season on the horizon, don't be 302 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: surprised if pitches to stock up on thin mints come 303 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: via text rather than a knock on the door. Here's 304 00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: more of your leftist propaganda. It will end up ruining 305 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: your Girl Scout to cookie sales this year. Due to 306 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: safety concerns, the Girl Scouts River Valleys, which represents forty 307 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: nine counties in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, is making it 308 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: easier for its members to sell online, avoiding the need 309 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: for youngsters to be out in neighborhoods where immigration enforcement 310 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: actions are in full swing. 311 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 2: Here's the question that I have. How much of this was. 312 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: Already planned prior to all this stuff and now they're 313 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: just piggybacking the changes and the difficulty that they've had 314 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: throughout the years of Girl Scouts selling their cookies. 315 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: In public. 316 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: So starting next week on Wednesday, Oh, I'm sorry, this 317 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: was yesterday. Starting this week, cookie lovers can purchase their 318 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: boxes through Troop twenty twenty six dot com, a new 319 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: site that directs all the proceeds towards supporting local programming. 320 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 2: Oh see, I'm skeptical. 321 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,120 Speaker 1: Scouts will be seen selling in person starting on the twenty, 322 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: the same date that residents can expect to see booths 323 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: that cub Foods, wal Mart and other businesses. They increased focus, however, 324 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: on online sales makes it easier for out of towners 325 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: to purchase from local troops. More of our customers are online, 326 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: fewer are going into stores. According to the Chief Experience 327 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: to Offer, excuse me, officer with the Girl Scout or 328 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: River Valleys, we're still showing our girls how to run 329 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: a business, manage inventory, and manage money. The environment isn't new, 330 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: but it's not watering down the goals of the program. 331 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 8: Yeah. 332 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: So the whole rest of the story is just about 333 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: how this was happening already. The Star Tribune just decided 334 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: to piggyback on the ice controversy, and maybe a comment 335 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: or two from the Girl Scouts organization that oh, this 336 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: is also about the ice enforcement actions. 337 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: I just. 338 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 9: Coming up. 339 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: We'll get to your top back of the day.

Also, I do have a 342 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: few more Ice related stories, but I do want to 343 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: dive into yesterday the House voting on the Save Act. 344 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking with Representative Tom Emmer tomorrow in 345 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: the seven o'clock hour. Several clips from the testimony yesterday 346 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: in the passing of the Save Act that now heads 347 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: to the Senate, and the ridiculous arguments that are being 348 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: put forward by Democrats trying to convince their party to 349 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: not vote for this, even though the majority of Americans 350 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: believe that you should have to present an ID in 351 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: order to go and vote in our elections. It's all 352 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: coming up on Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty 353 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: and one oh three five FM. 354 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 10: Good morning, and I love your show. 355 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff going on all a 356 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: sudden Twin City's News Talk.

It looks like it'll run at 363 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: least through next week. The draw down will then begin. 364 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: There'll be a small footprint of Federal Ice agents here 365 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: before the operation is turned back over to the field office. 366 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: He will remain on hand to help assist it in 367 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: the draw down. Then the question is what happens between 368 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: now and then. Got a lot of comments that have 369 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: rolled in on the iHeartRadio app. We'll try to get 370 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: to as many of those as we can in the 371 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: closing minutes of the show.

So in the search for Savannah 377 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, apparently they've discovered a black glove 378 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: near her home. 379 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm getting flashbacks now. I just come on one black glove. 380 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: The raise is the question is anybody's seeing Kato Kaitlin lately? 381 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 2: As I just said it, curiosity. Devin probably has no 382 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: idea what I'm talking about. It's okay, O. J. Simpson's 383 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 2: what I'm referring to. All right, let's get to your 384 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: talk back of the day.

Hey, listen, you're 409 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 11: a coward if you don't play this. You're a bigger 410 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 11: coward if you don't play it as the talkback today. 411 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 11: You know what, I've been a Republican my entire life, 412 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 11: all right. I've not yet found a Republican did I 413 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 11: agree with, so I've always had to vote Democrat and 414 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 11: it just irritates me that the Republicans won't pull their 415 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 11: heads out of there, you know what, so that I 416 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 11: can finally vote Republican. 417 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 8: Gosh, and you're fascinating to talk to. 418 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: Thank you. 419 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate the parody. Eron, I really do. You're the 420 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: runner up for the talkback of the of the day. 421 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: All right, before we get back to your thoughts on 422 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: the conclusion of Operation Metro Surge. The House of Representatives 423 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: passed a new version of the Save Act, Save America 424 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: Act on Wednesday evening was twittering Yeah, giving some new 425 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: light to the legislation that would require a photo identification 426 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: to proof of US citizenship to voters. This is not 427 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: difficult by any stretch. 428 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: Now. 429 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: The House had passed another version of the Save Act 430 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: last year. Installed in the Senate. The revamped version of 431 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: the bill would require voters to provide proof of citizenship 432 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: along with the photo ID before they can cast their ballots, 433 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: meaning people would have to show additional documentations such as 434 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: a birth or a passport or a birth certificate. Of course, 435 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: Democrats continue to claim the Save America Act with disenfranchise 436 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: millions of Americans. For months, has called on Republicans to 437 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: abolish the filibuster, which would help them pass some of 438 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: his important agenda, like the Save Act. Republican leaders have 439 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: unfortunately pushed back. In my opinion, earlier this week, send them. 440 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Majority of leader John Thune said, there aren't. They aren't 441 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: anywhere close to the votes, not even close to nuking 442 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: the filibuster. Now, it has been said, and we did 443 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: talk about this on the show, there is another way 444 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: to pass the Save Act without nuking the filibuster. The 445 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: Senate could revive the talking filibuster. This requires senators to 446 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: be on the floor and actively speaking to stall a vote, 447 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: so all the senators would each get an opportunity to 448 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: stall the vote until they've all gone and spoken, and 449 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: then you could circumvent the sixty vote threshold needed for cloture. Now, 450 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: it's a complicated process. That's just the. 451 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 2: The finer points of it. There's more to it. 452 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: Some of those, including Utibe, how Republican Senator Mike Lee 453 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: said nothing in the sentence an easy move. This one 454 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: certainly is not the talking filibuster. But if we want 455 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: to do this, this is how we have to go 456 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, I don't care how you have to 457 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: go about it. We need to get this passed. If 458 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: Republicans don't get this done, then yes, there's a lot 459 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: of frustration that should be taking place. When you have 460 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: the power, you need to take advantage of it. At 461 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: this point, I'm still very much in favor of nuking 462 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: the filibuster, and given how hard Democrats are pushing back 463 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: against this, to me, it just demonstrates the need to 464 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: get this passed because of how overly concerned they are. 465 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Case in point, let's play for you some of the 466 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: clips of Democrats talking about this yesterday. You heard Angie 467 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: Craig from earlier this morning. For those that may have 468 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: missed it, we'll give it a replay. 469 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 8: Hey, everyone Antie Craig. Here today, Republicans are putting the 470 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 8: Save Act on the House floor. It's a bill that 471 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 8: would make it much more difficult for people to vote 472 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 8: across this country, especially for people of color, for people 473 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 8: who live in rural communities, for students, for women across 474 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 8: our country who have changed their last names, and the 475 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 8: top it all off, the bill would actually cost the 476 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 8: country nineteen billion dollars. Look, at the end of the day, 477 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 8: my Republican colleagues know that they're not going to win elections, 478 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 8: and so they are doing everything in their power to 479 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 8: try to create a situation where the odds are in 480 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 8: their favor. 481 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: It's so insult again, it's so insulting to women in minorities. 482 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: And she's not the only one to go down this road. 483 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: Here you have a Representative Hillary Schulton talking about the 484 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: Save Act and how it's going to prevent some one 485 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand women in Michigan from registering to vote. 486 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 12: Nearly seventy million married women in this country have changed 487 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 12: their last name, but their birth certificates don't reflect that. 488 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 12: In Michigan's third District alone, one hundred and sixty thousand 489 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 12: women could find themselves unable to register simply because when 490 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 12: they got married they didn't change both their ID and 491 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 12: their birth certificate. One hundred and sixty thousand women in 492 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 12: my district alone. 493 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: Well that's on them. 494 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: Too bad, so said, if you're too lazy to go 495 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: and make the change. 496 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 2: To your birth certificate. 497 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: After getting married, if that's even true, the leaks that 498 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: they will go. You have a majority of Americans support 499 00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: requiring an ID to vote, and yet Ohio Democrat Joyce 500 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: Betty talking about Republicans and in her mind, what they're 501 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: attempting to do. 502 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 13: With what the American people want? And there's really just 503 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 13: one question that would linger over all this. Now, will 504 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 13: Senate Democrats continue to cater to their extreme left wing 505 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 13: base or are they going to finally join the overwhelming 506 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 13: majority of them? 507 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: This one is actually my apologies. 508 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: This is actually Speaker Johnson sending a warning to Democrat 509 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: senators considering voting against the Save Act. 510 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 13: With what the American people want, And there's really just 511 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 13: one question that would linger over all this. Now, will 512 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 13: Senate Democrats continue to cater to their extreme left wing 513 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 13: base or are they going to finally join the overwhelming 514 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 13: majority of Americans? 515 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: On this common sense reform. 516 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 13: But I'll tell you this once again, Republicans have demonstrated 517 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 13: that we are the party of common sense. We are 518 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 13: the party that's delivering exactly what the American people sent 519 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 13: us here to do, and we will continue that. 520 00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: In the meantime, you have a Democrat Representative Delaiah Ramirez 521 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: calling on people who support common sense voter ID saying 522 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: that if you do, you're actually a racist and misogynistic trash. 523 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 14: Look as I hear my colleagues on the side of 524 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 14: the iisowe what I hear is the same racist, misogynistic 525 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 14: trash different decade.

The Save America Act is yet another 529 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 14: Republican attempt to intimidate and suppress the votes of anyone, 530 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 14: anyone who threatens their extremist, white supremacist agenda. 531 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the argument that Democrats put up is. 532 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: It just matters that they put up an argument. They 533 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: know this, This is why they can be this irrational 534 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: and in this case borderline, you know, crazy, racist, misogynistic 535 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: trash to ask somebody to show an ID using the 536 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: analogy an example I gave earlier in the show Boy Costco. 537 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: They're really racist misogynistic.

I D try going into a bar 552 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 15: without showing a picture. I D try getting into the 553 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 15: Democrat National Convention without showing an ID. 554 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: They required it. 555 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 15: The same Democrats that are saying things like Jim Crow said, 556 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 15: you have to have an idea to get into their 557 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 15: own Convention because they know it's common sense if you 558 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 15: want to have a secure operation in anything, and elections 559 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 15: are the most important franchise we have in America to 560 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 15: protect democracy. And so yes, we had a really important vote. 561 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 15: Great to see one Democrat really perplexing why every other 562 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 15: Democrat wanted to support voter fraud. 563 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: That's really what you're supporting. 564 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 15: If you voted note tonight, you're saying you're okay with 565 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 15: voter fraud. And that's a disgrace. Just look at states 566 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 15: that have done this. Georgia, they said all those same things. 567 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 15: By the way, in the state of Georgia that passed 568 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 15: a voter ID requirement, and what happened in the next 569 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 15: election after you had actually hired voter participation, And in 570 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 15: one part, I think it was because of the voter 571 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 15: ID law, because then people had to higher confidence in 572 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 15: their vote counting because they knew it was harder for 573 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 15: somebody to cheat and steal because of the voter ID requirement. 574 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 15: So you will increase confidence amongst legal voters with this provision. 575 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 15: And that's why it's so important that the Senate take 576 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 15: this up and find a way to get it to 577 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 15: President Trump's desks. President Trump wants this bill on his 578 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 15: desk so we can sign it in a law and 579 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 15: give even stronger protections to all Americans over eighty percent 580 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 15: who strongly want the protection of the sanctity of their 581 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 15: vote and the man who helped us get the votes 582 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 15: for this bill. 583 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: And this is certainly something we'll be discussing with Representative 584 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: Tom Emmer when he joins this tomorrow.

What they're doing is that they have 637 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: so many people they've fanned out all over the place 638 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: and they're essentially stalking. It's not even just about the 639 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: license plates. They're following the agents.

They're reporting to each other the plates so 642 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: that they get to record it into their database. But 643 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: they're doing a lot more on the ground work with 644 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: hundreds on the ground, and they're working with hundreds, if 645 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: not thousands of people. The Signal group that I'm in 646 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: has over nine hundred and sixty people in it. They're 647 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: staking out the area. They've got people in cars that 648 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: are just patrolling and looking for action. They look for 649 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: people that are in tactical gear in a vehicle. They 650 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: know where they're going, and they've got a great idea 651 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: about how many there are. Once they report into the 652 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: main group that they've been spotting for, the license plates 653 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: are recorded in. If there's a significant presence, they activate 654 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: what they call is a rapid response group. And that 655 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: rapid response group then is the one that can either 656 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: go out and help with the whistleblowing stuff or they 657 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: have an observer team. So they put you in different teams, 658 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: but you have to get vetted before you get into 659 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: those teams. 660 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 2: And they're starting to. 661 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: Try to vet people for the one that I'm in, 662 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: but I still haven't sat through the vetting yet. There 663 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: are a great number of groups, without a doubt, all 664 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: over the area. They've kept them very compartmentalized. We'll talk 665 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more about this and where do they 666 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: go from here.
