Well, 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 6: then I guess I am telling you what you want 12 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 6: to hear. 13 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 2: Boy, didn't we just tell you not to do that? 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 7: Yes, sir? 15 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 4: Okay, then we cannot keep our promises on medicare. We 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 4: simply must make the cuts some waste brought and abuse 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 4: in medicare so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched. 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 4: We owe it to our seniors, We owe it to 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 4: our country. 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 8: Boy. 21 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: Is one of the things that keeps popping up again 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: and again is that the public does not like what 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: the Democrats are doing. And the Democrats got in this 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 3: pickle by serving the wrong interests and not knowing who 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: and what they are. They don't identify with the very 26 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: people whose votes they need and what they try to do. 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: The consultants try to humanize them. Here's Joe Biden. He's 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 3: eating ice cream. He likes ice cream. You like ice cream. See, 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: he likes ice cream and you like ice cream. I 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: bet Trump doesn't like ice cream. So vote for Joe Biden. 31 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: Ice cream. And when they actually start implementing the things 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: that they want to do, it's so freakish. Boys and 33 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: girls bathrooms is a great example. Global warming, wide open 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: illegal alien murderers, what they called criminal justice reform, absolute lawlessness. 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: It is so unpopular. They are so unpopular that what's 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 3: amazing is how obtuse they are with regard to it all. 37 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: Here was Governor Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor of California, 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut. Now 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: Murphy is the guy you will remember who was chairman 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: of the Biden reelection campaign. And Biden bowed out, and 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: he didn't even know about it. He went on the 42 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: Sunday talk shows. Remember they smothered him on a Sunday. 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: He went on the Sunday talk shows talking about, you know, 44 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 3: how well Joe Biden was going to do, not even 45 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: knowing that at that time there was a palace coup 46 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 3: going on, and he felt so stupid, But here he is. 47 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: He's back. And the reason that Democrats are not doing 48 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: well is because of Trump's lawlessness. That's what's That's that. 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's stick to that. That'll work. 50 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 9: You feel like our party is in better shape or 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 9: worse shape? 52 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: Are we finding our voice? Is a shut down and 53 00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: a versa. 54 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 9: It's helpful in terms of just organizing that voice and 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 9: a clarity of what's at stake. 56 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 10: All right, well, I'm going to turn that question back 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 10: around on you too. But I mean the Pauline would 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 10: not tell you that our party is in good shape today. 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 10: I mean, we are historically unpopular and part of that 60 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 10: is just, you know, people expressing their frustration about Trump's 61 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 10: lawlessness through their indictment of the opposition that they would 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 10: hope could have arrested more of it. But yeah, he's 63 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 10: giving us an opportunity, right, he has been exposed as 64 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 10: a fake populist. Right, he is simply operationalizing government to 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 10: steal from poor people, cut their health care, to enrich himself. 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 10: And so that really commands us to try to figure 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 10: out why we've lost so many votes amongst poor people 68 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 10: in this country because they're now questioning whether this guy 69 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 10: is actually righteous, whether this guy actually is looking out 70 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 10: for them. But they're not ready to vote for Democrats. 71 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: I have an idea for why they're not doing well. 72 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett. Here is Jasmine crocket when asked a little 73 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: over a week ago why she voted no to ending 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: the shutdown, and here she goes flapping her mouth again. 75 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 11: I cast my no vote because ain't nobody coming me 76 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 11: and ask me what the people in my district need. 77 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 11: They didn't ask me what would look good for those 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 11: in South Dallas. They didn't ask me about that. 79 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: So listen. 80 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 11: I got people that I serve that are counting on 81 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 11: me to do their work and to be their voice 82 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 11: and not work for him. I don't work for him. 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 11: He can't hire me, he can't fire me. The people 84 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 11: that elected me in Texas thirty did so. Unless you 85 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 11: want to have a conversation with me about the priorities 86 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 11: for the people in my distraints, Babe, you're not getting 87 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 11: this vote. 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: So listen. 89 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 11: He can do whatever he wants to do, but this 90 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 11: will be on the Republicans. I need people to tune 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 11: in and learn how to count and learn who controls what. 92 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: If you want things to function. 93 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 11: Maybe put the Democrats back in control. Now, I know 94 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 11: people got to be with the Democrats not being as 95 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 11: aggressive as we should have been, especially since we got 96 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 11: him over here. Just run a ramshop over everything. But 97 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 11: at a very minimum, you can always count on there 98 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 11: being level headedness and responsibility when it comes to Democrats, 99 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 11: because they care about federal workers, they care about our 100 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 11: constituents and making sure that those services are still available 101 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 11: because when the government shuts down, then that impacts our 102 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 11: constituents directly. 103 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: It does. 104 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: Here is a flashback to then Vice President Kamala Harris, 105 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: not the wrestler, but this is a different Kamala Harris 106 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: talking about European explorers ushering in a wave of devastation, violence, 107 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: stealing land, and disease. You know this nonsense narrative that 108 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: somehow the white man came to the pristine planes of 109 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 3: the Indian These people were slaughtering each other, absolutely slaughtering 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: each other, and they were not advanced civilization. Stop saying 111 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: they were. And this whole idea that the white man 112 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: is so bad, and you've got white people so scared 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: of being white that you've got half of them talked 114 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: into it. They're so ashamed that they're white. It's really 115 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: sad when you watch it. 116 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 12: It is an honor, of course, to be with you 117 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 12: this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, as we 118 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 12: speak truth about our nation's history. Since nineteen thirty four, 119 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 12: every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 12: the European explorers who first landed on the shores of 121 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 12: the Americas. But that is not the whole story. That 122 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 12: has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in 123 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 12: a wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land, 124 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 12: and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this 125 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 12: shameful past, and we must shed light on it and 126 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 12: do everything we can to address the impact of the 127 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 12: past on Native communities. 128 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: Today, let's hear some more audio by Democrats to get 129 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: an idea of why people hate them so damn much. 130 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: Here is a state senator in California whose name very 131 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: appropriately is Weaner. He state Senator Scott Weiner, and he 132 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 3: says LGBTQ people have been massively and disproportionately targeted and 133 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: subjected to being slammed on the sex offender registry. Well, 134 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: maybe there's so many of them showing up because their 135 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: sexual pervert degenerates and they engage in acts that as 136 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: a society we have agreed will be made illegal to 137 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: discourage them. You think maybe that's that has something to 138 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: do with it, just just maybe that has something to 139 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: do with it. 140 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: Know that the sex Offender Registry contains a massive array 141 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: of crimes including I don't know, having sex in a 142 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: car or in a park that gets you in the 143 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: sex offender Registry. We also know that LGBTQ people have 144 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: been massively and disproportionately targeted and subjected to being slammed 145 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: onto the sex offender Registry. That's the whole history of 146 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: the sex Offender Registry. So this aspect of the bill 147 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: is incredibly overbroad and discriminat. 148 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: You've got the Michael Berrys Show. 149 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: This is going to be clip number six oh eight. 150 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 3: It's a CNN clip and it's talking about what we've 151 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: been discussing, Democrats potentially losing nineteen seats now it never 152 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: turns out to be what is projected. And part of 153 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: the reason you do things like this, there are two 154 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: reasons you do this. If you're a Democrat, you do 155 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: this because you want to scare your donors and get 156 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: them to start cutting loose some money. Oh my god, 157 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: we're gonna lose a bunch of seats. If you're a Republican, 158 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: you do something like this because you now inspire people. Oh, 159 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: we could win nineteen seats. Okay, so if we can win, 160 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: I'll give you some money. Here, here is some money. 161 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: So anyway, here's that story. I've mentioned it several times 162 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: over the last couple weeks. 163 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 9: Actually represents pretty accurately mathematically how the country's divided over 164 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 9: the question of the presidency. But if you look at this, 165 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 9: this is what the party pickup would be for congressional districts. 166 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 9: Republicans five, Missouri one, North Carolina one, Ohio two or three, 167 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 9: Indiana one or two Florida. Still discussion down there, but 168 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 9: that could be another gold mine for them if they 169 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 9: tipped it even further their way. 170 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: Kansas won New. 171 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 9: Hampshire one and Nebraska Democrats, Utah, California, Maryland. Look at this, 172 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 9: If you offset California and Texas, Missouri and Utah, North 173 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 9: Carolina and Maryland, everything left over is an advantage to 174 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 9: a Republicans. And don't forget the Supreme Court is considering 175 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 9: what could really be the end of the Voting Rights Act, 176 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 9: which would protect minority group So you don't have a 177 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 9: state that's half black, for example, that elects only one 178 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 9: congressional member and everybody else goes to the Republicans that 179 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 9: would represent that population in some way. So if that 180 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 9: is gutted, Democrats could lose nineteen seats. 181 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: This would be a huge amount. 182 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 9: But this is also a measure of how much the 183 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 9: White House is concerned about this because Donald Trump knows 184 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 9: if the Democrats get the House again, there could be 185 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 9: new investigations just like last time. 186 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: There could be a new impeachment. 187 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 9: There could be a lot of impediment to these plans 188 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 9: that right now the Republicans and the House and Senate 189 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 9: are letting you run like a freighter. 190 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've told you before and I'll say it again. 191 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: If you knew the show, I once loved Portland, Oregon. 192 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: It was a major affiliate for us, and I was 193 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 3: so excited to have it, and so I went up 194 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: to Portland, k Ex eleven ninety and for several years, 195 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 3: my wife and sons joined me and we spent the 196 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 3: summer there so that I could get to know the 197 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: market and know my show sponsors, and because I love 198 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: it in Houston's hotest haities during the summer, and Portland 199 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: is delightful in the summer. And then a couple of 200 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 3: years go by and I go back and Portland's gone 201 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: to hell. It's become San Francisco. It's at least a 202 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: downtown and it really is tragic because it was a 203 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 3: great city. Yeah, it leaned left, and they they loved 204 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: the Portland is weird, but much like Austin, it was 205 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 3: a very livable city, great art scene, great music scene. 206 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: They love their overpriced coffee, but they have great they 207 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: have great pubs. It is a great culture. And now 208 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: it's it's been California. Cadd it's anyway. So here's what 209 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: they've done. Now here's a Fox News report. Oregon's budget 210 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: allocates one point five billion dollars for illegals and less 211 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: than half that for state law enforce horsemen. 212 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 13: Think about that, and is reportedly spending more in its 213 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 13: budget on health benefits for illegal migrants than it sets 214 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 13: aside for state police. Organ officials expect to allocate one 215 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 13: point five billion dollars in combined state and federal tax 216 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 13: dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal 217 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 13: migrants from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty seven. Now, 218 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 13: during that very same period, they expect to spend seven 219 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 13: hundred and seventeen million dollars on the Oregon State Police. 220 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: I came across this woman, I don't know her name. 221 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: She's a business owner in Portland, and this is at 222 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: a city council meeting, and she's talking about how bad 223 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: things have gotten in Portland. And we're hearing the same 224 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: thing out of San Francisco, We're hearing the same thing 225 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: out of Chicago. This is what white liberalism leads to. 226 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 3: And there's just no way around that. This is what 227 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: white liberalism leads to. 228 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 14: I have to be honest. I have never felt unsafe 229 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 14: in this city. A few months ago, at our bar, 230 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 14: there's a group of people that will descend. We have 231 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 14: to shut down all the time. Forty five people, two 232 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 14: women in the group, sort of breaking glass in our bar, 233 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 14: stabbing each other. Our bartender called us. We pulled up 234 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 14: the security cameras live. She was screaming, splattered on the 235 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 14: security cameras. 236 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: The police came. 237 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 14: No name was taken, no report, no accountability, and it's 238 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 14: not an isolated incident. We've had people that have been 239 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 14: eighty six. They come back with guns in hands, standing 240 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 14: a foot off of our sidewalk for ours every single weekend, 241 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 14: every single weekends. Our staff is terrified. We've been Derek 242 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 14: break In's vandalism. We've been held up by gunpoint and 243 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 14: it feels like no one is coming. What is going 244 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 14: to happen? How is this acceptable? We need more trained 245 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 14: police officers. 246 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: We need them like a ton. 247 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 14: We are small business owners. We are the heartbeat of 248 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 14: Portland and we are hanging on by a threat. And 249 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 14: within weeks all I see is the coffee shop leaving. 250 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 14: Everybody's leaving. I'm like, where are you going? We're leaving Portland. 251 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 14: We're out of here. This is seriously life or death 252 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 14: for our employees, for our customers, for my family if 253 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 14: my husband or one of our bartenders ends up killed, 254 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 14: or a customer, who is going to be accountable for this. 255 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 14: For the first time, we are seriously talking about leaving Portland, 256 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 14: selling the building. We own, a legacy we have hoped 257 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 14: to pass to our children, but at this point I 258 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 14: don't even know if we could sell it. I mean, 259 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 14: nobody can sell commercial property. 260 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: Right now. 261 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 14: It isn't ridiculous. This is not politics. This is an emergency. 262 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 14: We are out of time. We needed help yesterday. We 263 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 14: need help or we are going to die. 264 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 5: We simply don't have enough police and the private sector. 265 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 5: We are spending tons on private security and if it 266 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 5: went away, it's the equivalent to losing. 267 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: Almost two hundred officers. 268 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 5: There is not a thriving region in this country with 269 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 5: a dead or dying downtown. 270 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 15: The losses are mounting and have been ignored for way 271 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 15: too long. Here now at a tipping point, people can 272 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 15: go anywhere to find a chain, restaurant or retail. Locally 273 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 15: owned businesses used to be the main attraction for Portland, 274 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 15: but these days they are a rarity. The climate to 275 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 15: run a business in Portland has become increasingly difficult, especially 276 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 15: during the past five years. 277 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 7: The amount of illegal and unsafe behavior we have to 278 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 7: deal with on a daily basis at our Portland locations 279 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 7: is unacceptable. I simply don't understand how the city has 280 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 7: become numb to this idea of Portland really isn't that bad. 281 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 7: As a local business owner, with my time, I'm going 282 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 7: to give a few examples of what apparently is really 283 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 7: really not that bad. Most recently, once the Oasis Day 284 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 7: Camp has opened on Northwest Broadway, that already rampant crime 285 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 7: from the nearby TPI shelter has gone through the roof, 286 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 7: despite may Or Wilson's assurance that shelters quote create safer neighborhoods. 287 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 7: Several weeks ago, a homeless man came in. We asked 288 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 7: them for his ID, which is required by law. He 289 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 7: then threw a fit, smashed a glass display case, and 290 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 7: then once our staff got him to exit the store, 291 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 7: he then threw a rock throw window, which we average 292 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 7: over three broken windows per year per location of our 293 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 7: downtown of our Portland locations, always from homeless people, which 294 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 7: we're discussing repair funds a minute ago before this before 295 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 7: public testament, and I want to point out that being 296 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 7: that we're in the canvas industry, we are not eligible 297 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 7: for any of these repair funds and win the replacements 298 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 7: range from seven hundred and fifty dollars to three thousand 299 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 7: dollars per window at the same with Post Broadway location. 300 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 7: Earlier this year, a heady, drug effected man entered demanding 301 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 7: a cigarette. When we asked him to leave, he then 302 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 7: pulled a machete on our staff member. Police reports can 303 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 7: concirn this incident. Do you think this behavior makes our 304 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 7: staff and customers feel safe? 305 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Michael Berry Show. 306 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 3: Jim tells me I did not ever cover the Sheryl Hines, 307 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 3: who's Robert F. Kennedy Junior's wife, appearance on the view 308 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 3: a little while back. And I thought I did. Maybe 309 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: I didn't for this show. I can't remember if I 310 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: did it morning or maybe I didn't do it. Maybe 311 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: I didn't do it, that's on me. But I thought 312 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: she really did a good job. I don't think she's 313 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: by any measure exactly a conservative. 314 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: But you know Robert F. 315 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 3: Kennedy Jr. Who you'll hear her call Bobby, he ran 316 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: for president last year. Can I remind you that as 317 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: a Democrat, And now now they're making him out to 318 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: be some right wing nut because they've smeared him because 319 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 3: he's doing good things to help the Trump administration, really 320 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: just doing good things to help Americans and they don't 321 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: like that. And I think this has been quite telling 322 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 3: for Robert F.

I mean, 324 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 3: the Kennedy's are Democrat royalty. 325 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 2: But here she was. 326 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 3: On the view and they make the point of, yeah, well, 327 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: your husband's not even a doctor, and her point well taken. 328 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: Ninety of Health and Human Services secretaries haven't been doctors either, 329 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: and you never questioned them once. 330 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 16: Your husband when he announced basically that he believed he 331 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 16: found some causal links between autism and thailan, all it 332 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 16: created a lot of panic in women who were being 333 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 16: told by their obgu i ns who look at them 334 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 16: that thailan, if necessary to treat pain during pregnancy, is safe. 335 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: What would you say? 336 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 16: And I know you're not a medical professional, but to 337 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 16: women who now feel anxious and nervous because they're doctors 338 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 16: telling them one thing, but the top public health professional 339 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 16: is telling them something very different. 340 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 17: Well, they said consult your doctor before taking it. That 341 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 17: was the That's what they were saying, and that holds. 342 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 17: So I agree. Listen, I've been pregnant. I understand it's 343 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 17: stressful being pregnant. I found because you're so concerned with everything. 344 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 17: I didn't drink caffeine. Know he's pregnant. So to say, hey, 345 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 17: you know, consult your doctor before you take this. I 346 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 17: agree with that, and I think that's okay for moms here, 347 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 17: sure go ahead, now, all. 348 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 18: Right, I am this This is not. 349 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: Your fight really to be fighting. 350 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 17: This is your husband's thank you for technology. 351 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: But I. 352 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 18: Just I do want to say, you know, he's not 353 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 18: a doctor, and he's not a professional, and oftentimes when 354 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 18: he's talking, oftentimes when he's speaking, he is speaking not 355 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 18: with the best information that we can get because you know, yeah, 356 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 18: we could do a lot better with health stuff, and 357 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 18: there's a lot of stuff he can do, and some 358 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 18: of the things he's suggested take it out of the 359 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 18: hands of my doctor and me and my ob g 360 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 18: y N and me and I I wonder does it 361 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 18: give you pause? And are you able to say, you know, 362 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 18: that might not actually be so because I've got my 363 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 18: experience and I've done lived with this and I'm still here. 364 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 18: So are you able to have those conversations with her? 365 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 17: I am able to have those conversations. And just to 366 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 17: be clear, ninety of secretarias of HHS have not been doctors. 367 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 14: They've been great. 368 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 17: One of Obama's secretaries of HHS was an economist. 369 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: Cheryl Hines is an actress. I don't know why they 370 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 3: call women actors. Now, I don't know how that was 371 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: supposed to be a good thing. She's an actress and 372 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 3: his wife, and she's obviously loyal to her husband. And 373 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 3: this really what maybe the reason I forgot to talk 374 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 3: about this is it really didn't get much attention, and 375 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: it should happen. And the reason it didn't get attention 376 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: is because these ladies were made fools of by this woman, 377 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: because she's clearly offended that her husband who's working very 378 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: hard to do good things for people who are being 379 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 3: harmed by big Pharma, and they're coming after him because 380 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: they hate Trump. It has nothing to do with the 381 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: work he's doing. They hate Trump. And I think this 382 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 3: is really a wake up call to the left, as 383 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 3: these are your people. This is what they're up to. 384 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 3: The minute you're not on their team, you're a Nazi 385 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: and they like you killed. Well, what does that start 386 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: to sound like after a while, what does that start 387 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: to sound like? And by the way, I've got some 388 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 3: TOOLSI Gabbard audio. If we get a chance, I'll get 389 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: to it today. She was the vice chairman of the 390 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 3: Democrat Party in twenty sixteen. She was a star in 391 00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party it was Debbie Wasserman Schultz and as 392 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 3: number one in the Democrat Party, the national party, and 393 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 3: she was number two as late as twenty sixteen. She 394 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: was a congressman from Hawaii, Liberal Hawaii. She was a 395 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 3: star in their party. She was a veteran. They don't 396 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: have a lot of that. She's attractive, she's got the 397 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: whole Hawaiian thing going, she's well spoken. I mean, she 398 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: was a star in their party. So why, pray tell? 399 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: Did they have to smear her because she dare raised 400 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 3: questions in twenty sixteen about Bernie Sander about Hillary Clinton. 401 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 3: Remember Bernie Sanders was running against Hillary. Well, she favored Bernie, 402 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 3: or at least she ended up favoring Bernie because she 403 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 3: felt the Democrat Party was cheating him, and they were. 404 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 3: They were using money that is supposed to be dedicated 405 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 3: to the general election. They're supposed to be putting on 406 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: a primary to let the voters determine. You know what 407 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: we've seen since then. Look at twenty twenty four, they 408 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: didn't even allow for primaries because Biden couldn't win. And 409 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 3: then when Biden was out, they just handpicked Kamala Harris. 410 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 3: On the Sunday that they smothered him. You remember all that, 411 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: don't you? What a way? Let me get back to 412 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 3: the point. I get distracted. Cheryl Hines, wife of RFK Junior, 413 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: on the view. I guess it was last week. Yeah, 414 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 3: I just thought this was I thought this was really good. 415 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 17: When you say that they are pro a vaccine, it 416 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 17: seems as though Bobby and Trump a castine doubt on 417 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 17: the efficacy of the vaccine, which makes Americans very nervous. 418 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 4: So that's the problem that will happen. 419 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I understand you. 420 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 17: Up, I understand that. And it's interesting because I don't 421 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 17: know if you saw sixty minutes just did a piece 422 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 17: about the vaccine injury a compensation program. Yeah, so people 423 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 17: that have had vaccine injuries can be compensated if they 424 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 17: can prove it, and they have paid out five point 425 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 17: four billion dollars for vaccine injuries. So my question is 426 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 17: can we do better? 427 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 18: Do we is that all vaccines are just the coin. 428 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 17: It's all back as far as I know, as far 429 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 17: as I know. But so the question is yes to vaccines. Yes, 430 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 17: they are important and they are an important part of 431 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 17: our healthcare. 432 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: Can we do better? 433 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 17: Can we make them safer? Can we make them. Can 434 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 17: we listen to parents who say, my child got the 435 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 17: vaccine and changed and stopped hitting markers, stopped developing the 436 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 17: way they were developing. Can we listen to people when 437 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 17: they say that, instead of saying, because you're crazy, but 438 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 17: you want to listen to scientists. 439 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 12: This is me, Michael Berry show. 440 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 3: I have some things in my prep that I've been 441 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: holding on to that I'm not being able to get to, 442 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: and I don't want another week to end without getting 443 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: to them. So bear in mind, I don't think maybe 444 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 3: one or two of these stories is recent. Some of 445 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 3: these are a couple of weeks old, but they're important 446 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 3: and they're kind of timeless. So this is the Minnesota 447 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 3: Elections Director Paul and Nell admitting that illegal aliens can 448 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 3: vote in state elections in Minnesota with a Minnesota driver's license. 449 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 3: So they are not They can't vote in the federal election, 450 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 3: but they can vote the state election, and yet they 451 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 3: are not citizens. They are here illegally. 452 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 19: Listen to this, so the answer to my question is yes, 453 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 19: under that scenario, someone couldn't they get their driver's license again, 454 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 19: because we give them to anybody here they register to vote. 455 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 19: It doesn't match with the Social Security numbers, so they're flagged, 456 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 19: but they come in as long as they have an ID, 457 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 19: which is that driver's license, and they sign that they're 458 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 19: eligible to vote, they can vote and then no longer flagged, 459 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 19: they're on the system. Is that correct, mister leil. 460 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 20: Madam Chair, if I could add the maybe stepping back 461 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 20: from those that are flagged as a CID on the 462 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 20: roster for anyone that's presenting documentation to register to vote, 463 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 20: that is affirmation of their identity. The driver's license has 464 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 20: not been used as proof of citizenship for the purposes 465 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 20: of registering to vote. 466 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: It's affirming that they are who they say they are. 467 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 20: So in any of these cases where someone were to 468 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 20: cast a ballot if they were ineligible to vote, there 469 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 20: are also reports that are generated post election for voters 470 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 20: that are challenged that counties will run to show status 471 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 20: of voters that have been updated due to the fact 472 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 20: that they've now cast a ballot that can be reviewed 473 00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 20: and referred to the county attorney. 474 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 19: Okay, so the answer is yes to my question. 475 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 3: Here is Governor Tim Watts, You remember, hey, Governor with 476 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 3: congressman or with State Rep. No, it was Congressman Rep. 477 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 3: Tom Emmer, a Republican congressman from Minnesota, talking about the 478 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 3: fact that Tim Waltz called Ice agents Nazis. Do you 479 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 3: know what you do when you brand someone a Nazi? 480 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 3: You know, among young people, there is a quandary that 481 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 3: is offered, and that is kill baby Hitler? Would you 482 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: kill baby Hitler? And the premise of this little game 483 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 3: that is played is, here is an innocent little baby 484 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 3: in front of you, and it's Adolf Hitler, and you 485 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 3: have the ability to kill this baby and prevent him 486 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 3: from becoming the furor and causing the World War and 487 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: everything that happens, the concentration camps, or the loss of life, everything. 488 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: Do you kill this baby? The fact that there is 489 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: discussion of murdering a baby because it creates a conundrum, right, 490 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 3: It creates a real dilemma. That's the basis of a 491 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 3: lot of movies. You know, your protagonist is put into 492 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 3: a situation where he has to, you know, sell part 493 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 3: of his soul to do this other thing. 494 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: Well, that is that is not that is not. 495 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 3: Created for Saddam Hussein or Mussolini or Stalin or Paul 496 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 3: pot It's only Hitler. Hitler is the stand in for 497 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: that which is evil. Right, So when you call someone 498 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: a Nazi, you are saying that is a person worthy 499 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 3: of being killed. Listen to this. 500 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 8: You have failed the people of Minnesota provide free healthcare 501 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 8: to illegal aliens. 502 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: You sign the Higher. 503 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 8: Education Omnimous Bill into law in May of twenty twenty three. 504 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 8: That bill allows illegals to have their college tuition paid 505 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 8: for by the state. You sign the Driver's License for 506 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 8: All Act into law in March of twenty twenty three, 507 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 8: and that bill allows illegals to receive driver's licenses. 508 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: So you claim you're not a sanctuary state. 509 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 8: You just provide free health care, free college, and driver's 510 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 8: licenses to illegal aliens. 511 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: One reason you're here. 512 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 8: Testifying before US today is because you refuse to. 513 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: Cooperate with ICE. 514 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 8: While states like Florida and Virginia empower their law enforcement 515 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 8: to detain and remove criminal illegal aliens, you, sir, have 516 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 8: done just the opposite. Your Attorney General is directing law 517 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 8: enforcement to ignore ICE immigration detainers. Do you agree with 518 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 8: the Attorney General's guidance? 519 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 6: Well, Congressman, it's good to see you again and thank 520 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 6: you for being here. First, I would say, as my 521 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 6: job as governor of Minnesota is to make Minnesota the 522 00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 6: best state. 523 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 8: And then do you agree with the Attorney General's guidance. 524 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 6: Congressman, what I would say on this is is that 525 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 6: Minnesota follows all laws. 526 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: It's a very easy question. If you're not. 527 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 8: If you claim you're not a sanctuary state, you just 528 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 8: I guess you just claim that you support policies. You're 529 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 8: not a sanctuary state, but you support policies that prevent 530 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 8: ice from doing their job. 531 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: Congressman, isn't that right? That is incorrect. 532 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 6: Congressman, we follow the same laws while we're in the 533 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 6: Minnesota House. 534 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: The law is not changed. 535 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 8: If you'll allow me, I've got limited time. 536 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 2: Well that's what you tweeted. 537 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 8: By the way, sir, on May twenty third, twenty eighteen, 538 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 8: you tweeted, quote, I support policies that keep law enforcement 539 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 8: from enforcing federal laws. 540 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 2: Close quote. 541 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 8: On May seventeenth, just this spring, at the University of 542 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 8: Minnesota Law School's commencement ceremony, you said, quote Donald Trump's 543 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 8: modern day gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets. 544 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 8: When you said the words modern day gestapo, you were 545 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 8: referring to ice agents. 546 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 2: Gestapo, by the way, sir. 547 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 8: Was the official secret police of Hitler's Nazi Germany. So 548 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 8: you're calling ICE agents modern day Nazis. Given the attacks 549 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 8: on ICE agents that took place in Los Angeles over 550 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 8: the weekend, don't you regard your dangerous inflammatory rhetoric is 551 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 8: a problem. 552 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 6: The questions you, I mean answer first. 553 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 8: So, sir, it saddens me that you refuse to express 554 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 8: regret from comparing ICE to Nazis. ICE agents are brave 555 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 8: Americans who get up every morning, leave their families, and 556 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 8: put their lives in harms way to protect our country. Sir, 557 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 8: you at the very least an apology to these dedicated 558 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 8: public servants. I will say, Sir, inflammatory rhetorics such as 559 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 8: yours and the other governors on this panel is responsible 560 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 8: for putting a target on the back of every ICE 561 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 8: agent who is risking their life. 562 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 2: To protect our communities. 563 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 8: Minnesota is all too familiar, by the way, with the 564 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 8: chaos that ensues when you refuse to work with law 565 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 8: enforcement to enforce the law in t Looting, acts of violence, 566 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 8: and arson occurred on your watch in Minneapolis after you 567 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 8: refuse to bring in the National Guard. 568 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: Governor, your agenda is clear. 569 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 8: Free healthcare, free college, and driver's licenses for illegals while 570 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 8: handcuffing law enforcement when they're trying to protect our citizens 571 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 8: in their communities. If you think that's not a sanctuary state, 572 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 8: you shouldn't be governor. By turning Minnesota into a magnet 573 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 8: for illegals, you have opened up our communities to dangerous criminals, 574 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 8: including known terrorists, gang members, murderers, and child predators. You 575 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 8: have sent a resounding message that if you're a hard working, 576 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 8: law abiding citizen of Minnesota, your safety and wellbeing are 577 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 8: not the priorities of Tim Walls in his administration. But 578 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 8: if you're coming to our state illegally, you're not only 579 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 8: welcome with open arms, you're entitled to free stuff on 580 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 8: the taxpayer's dime. This is absolutely disgraceful. Governor Walls, Your 581 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 8: sanctuary state agenda has been defined by your utter failure. 582 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 8: You have failed to enforce the rule of law, you 583 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 8: have failed to uphold our national sovereignty, and most importantly, 584 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 8: you have failed the people of Minnesota. The time for 585 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 8: radical sanctuary state policy, sir, is over. 586 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: The voters made that clear last November. 587 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 8: When they elected President Trump and Vice President J. D. 588 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: Vance. You remember him, don't you? 589 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 8: Governor, the time for real leaders is in. Real leadership 590 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 8: is now. And with that, sir actually mister Chairman, I 591 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 8: asked unanimous consent to introduce into the record the Governor's 592 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 8: tweet that I reference from May twenty third, twenty eighteen, 593 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 8: which makes it clear his hatred for federal law enforcement.
