18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. It's good at the day's top story.

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: It's always thank you for joining me here on Real

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: America's Voice. We're going to jump right in today. We

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: have breaking news out of Minnesota. You may have heard

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: about it already, but it is big news. Federal immigration

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: off in Minneapolis thrown into chaos earlier today when a

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: targeted enforcement operation was disrupted by demonstrators. According to Homeland

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Security officials, protesters swarmed agents and blocked vehicles, and the

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: situation escalated when a woman tried to ram officers it

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: appears with her car. Agents say the move was deliberate

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: and aimed at seriously injuring federal law enforcement agents faced

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: with what they considered deadly force, one officer open fire,

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: killing the driver. Several officers were injured during the melee

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: but are expected to recover. DHS officials characterized event as

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: part of a growing trend of hostility, open hostility, and

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: violence towards immigration enforcement, arguing the sanctuary style rhetoric and

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: political attacks have emboldened radicals and put officers at risk

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: every single day. They noted that assaults and threats against

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: ICE personnel have skyrocketed in recent years, calling the shooting

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: a grim reminder of the dangers faced by those tasks

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: with enforcing federal law. The agency credits the officer's response

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: with preventing further law of life. Going to discuss this,

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: retired FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piota, as well as

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: CEO of Sentinel and former DHS advisor Charles Marino. Gentlemen,

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: thank you for being here.

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: Chris.

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to start with you today. You've seen the video.

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: We've all seen the video. In fact, I'd like to

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: play the clip for you right now. Here's a clip

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: that's been all over social media. Go ahead and roll that, gentlemen.

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: Ready love talk.

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 5: Dude?

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: What the aftermath?

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: The driver?

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: The driver clearly trying to drive over an officer that

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: was in front of her vehicle. He opens fire. She

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: died at the scene. Chris, again, I start with you. You've

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: seen the video, You've seen the pressure that these officers

56
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: under every single day. Look, if you try to run

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: over a police officer, local, state, federal, I don't care

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: who you are, the outcome is going to be a

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: bad one for you. Most likely. That's what happened here.

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: And yet, as predictable as it is, the left coming

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: out and saying it's the fault of ICE officers. What

62
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: say you?

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 6: I say, anytime that you use a vehicle to drive

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 6: toward federal law enforcement officers, a vehicle is a deadly weapon.

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 6: I'm not sure exactly what the ICE deadly forced policy is,

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 6: but if officers feel as though they are being subjected

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 6: to serious bodily harm or are in fear of death

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 6: for themselves or others, they are authorized to use deadly force.

69
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: I can flip the video around. We've got a back view,

70
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: a view from the other side of the vehicle. Was

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: this unfold because there were people everywhere with cell phones

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: because they had descended upon these ice agents trying to

73
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: do their job. And Charles, I want you to weigh

74
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: in as well. We'll see that in a moment here.

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is the officer, one

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: of them, was in front of the car. Instead of

77
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: getting out of the vehicle as ordered, she punched the

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: gas And look, anytime that's going to happen, I don't

79
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: care who you are, the result is not going to

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: be a good one in your thoughts.

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 7: Well, that's true, and that officer can be anywhere he

82
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 7: wants to be with respect to that vehicle position and

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 7: as long as he's giving lawful orders, which that vehicle

84
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 7: was being used as a weapon to both obstruct law

85
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 7: enforcement operations and also as a weapon to assault a

86
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 7: federal agent. So the use of force paradigm is pretty

87
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 7: consistent here across all federal agencies, including my own, It's

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 7: Secret Service, and that is, if that vehicle becomes a weapon,

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 7: then you have a right to yourself and deadly force

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 7: is justified. You spoke about the threats. They're up over

91
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 7: eight thousand percent against ICE and CBP agents. And let's

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 7: remember there's other federal agencies like the FBI and others

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 7: out there helping them execute these operations, so they should

94
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 7: be able to do so safely. But the rhetoric coming

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 7: from these irresponsible politicians, they fall on some ears where

96
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 7: people are going to take stupid measures. And this is

97
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 7: an example of what we've seen today. And it's not

98
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 7: the first time where we've seen a vehicle involved in

99
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 7: attempting to obstruct or assault federal agents.

100
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: Or kill potentially Chris how is how Minneapolis in Minnesota

101
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: have become the epicenter the focus of failure in America.

102
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the summer of Floyd, Look at

103
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: the fraud that's going on inside the state of Minnesota.

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: Look at the violence on the streets when federal officers

105
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: are trying to deliver federal warrants to put people that

106
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: are in this country illegally out. Minnesota has become the

107
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: poster child of failure on every level right now. I

108
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: find it despicable. What are your thoughts when you see

109
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: all the totality of the failures of Minnesota. It's leadership

110
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: and the city of Minneapolis.

111
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 6: Well, I see a vacuum of leadership, first of all,

112
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 6: and I see the presence and the evolution of extreme

113
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 6: liberalism and extreme leftism that have taken over the state

114
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 6: of Minnesota, in addition to allowing certain foreign populations to

115
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 6: grow there since the I guess maybe the early nineties.

116
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 6: You have that Somali population. They've been allowed to grow,

117
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: they've been allowed to assume power in certain areas and

118
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: political power, and the weak and feckless leaders in Minnesota

119
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 6: have been pandering to that community and they support that

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 6: extreme left position. And that's where we find ourselves today,

121
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 6: where you have groups of people who find it acceptable

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: to impede the progress of federal officers, to act in

123
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 6: provocative manners, and sometimes to force confrontations, confrontations that can

124
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 6: have extreme consequences, such as today.

125
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: All right, let's hear some of that extreme rhetoric. It

126
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: came from the mayor, Jacob Frye. He's the mayor of Minneapolis,

127
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: recently re elected. He had a lot to say in

128
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: the aftermath of this shooting, and he didn't calm things

129
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: down by any means. In fact, I would say he

130
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: ratcheted up the temperature. Listen to this.

131
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 8: I do have a message for our community, for a city,

132
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 8: and I have a message for Ice to Ice. Get

133
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 8: the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here.

134
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 9: Your stated reason for being in this city is to

135
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 9: create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly

136
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 9: the opposite. People are being hurt, families are being ripped apart.

137
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 9: Long term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to

138
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 9: our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized,

139
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 9: and now somebody is dead.

140
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 7: Charles Your reaction, Well, first, I'm impressed that he actually

141
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 7: gave that speech in English, considering normally he does it

142
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 7: in another language, because he's acquiesced to the entire population.

143
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 7: At Chris's point, not only are these illegal populations growing,

144
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 7: but they're allowed because of idiots like him, to segregate

145
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 7: themselves within the United States. Never assimilate to this country,

146
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 7: nor do they want to assimilate or care on what

147
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 7: the priorities are and what this country was founded on.

148
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 7: So he's created, in part, this entire mess that we

149
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 7: see unfolding right now, all the way down to the

150
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 7: fraud that we're talking about that's being investigated in Minneapolis.

151
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 7: But look again, it's this rhetoric, it's this riling up.

152
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 7: It's making law enforcement the bad guys, when in fact

153
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 7: they're not. They're enforcing the laws that Congress passed, okay,

154
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 7: And basically these politicians are coming out with any further

155
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 7: accountability and saying you should go out and do whatever

156
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 7: you need to do to disrupt and prevent them from

157
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 7: doing their jobs. This is everything that's wrong with sanctuary

158
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 7: cities and why this needs to be resolved once and

159
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 7: for all.

160
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: Chris, My concern as I sit here today is that today, tomorrow,

161
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: the next day, because of rhetoric like that from or Fry,

162
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: that somebody's going to take potshots at these ICE agents.

163
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: It'll be open season on these ICE agents and other

164
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: federal law enforcem majins like the FBI or anybody else.

165
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: They're going to open season on these folks that are

166
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: just trying to do the job, the lawful job of

167
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: removing people in this country illegally, many of them hardened

168
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: criminals and gain members. But that doesn't seem to matter

169
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: to the mayor, does it.

170
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 6: It doesn't, and the tough guy act not impressive by

171
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 6: the mayor. And I will say this that using inflammatory

172
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 6: language can drive certain people from ideological positions to physical action.

173
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 6: And that's what we're starting to see. They've already had

174
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 6: instances where ice officers have been fired upon, they've been

175
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 6: chased down by cars, they have been surrounded by crowds,

176
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 6: and you know, for once, I really would like to

177
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 6: see the federal government exercise a little bit of authority here.

178
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 6: The big eagle does not take orders from the little eagles,

179
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 6: and I think what we owe are ice officers is

180
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 6: a safe as reasonably safe environment as possible in executing

181
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 6: the laws of our nation.

182
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, what can the president do, Charles? At this point?

183
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: What can the administration do? Look, they're going to continue

184
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: to enforce federal la Tom Holman's made it clear they're

185
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: taking this show on the road. They're going to a

186
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: lot more places in the new year to round up

187
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: and deport those that came here illegally, the worst of

188
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 2: the worst first. But look, if you're here illegally and

189
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: you get caught up in a year out too, that's

190
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: the way it is. And when we talk about the

191
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: fraud in Minneapolis, if you came here got naturalized and

192
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: then robbed the tax paying citizens of this country. You're

193
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: gone too. What do we need to do to make

194
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 2: sure that we can make America safer as opposed to

195
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: what we're witnessing right now in Minneapolis.

196
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 7: Well to the point that you made in the question

197
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 7: you asked about, what can the Trump administration do about

198
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 7: these radical sanctuary cities. I think we've seen them try

199
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 7: and use the power of the purse, and that is,

200
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 7: you know, these sanctuary cities cannot say they're prioritizing the

201
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 7: safety and security of those that live in their communities

202
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 7: and yet still continue to receive federal public safety grants

203
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 7: from either DOJ or DHS or others that should be

204
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 7: cut off, and there have been attempts to do that.

205
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 7: The problem is, in addition to the sanctuary cities, the

206
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 7: Trump administration's also been having to deal with these radical

207
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 7: courts in those sanctuary districts, and the Supreme Court has

208
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 7: just not listened to all of these cases to make

209
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 7: an ultimate decision on whether or not these lower courts

210
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 7: have the authority to prevent the Trump administration from cutting

211
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 7: off these funds. I believe the Trump administration, the executive

212
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 7: branch has the authority that if these grants are not

213
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 7: being used to increase and ensure the safety and security

214
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 7: of the people in these communities, then they should not

215
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 7: be receiving the money. Period.

216
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: Chris, I'm gonna go ahead and give you the last

217
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: word wrap it up for us. Well.

218
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 6: I will say that the federal government let this get

219
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 6: out of control with the sanctuary cities. We have a

220
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 6: very divided American community right now, and what I'd like

221
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 6: to see is, after an incident like this, let's all

222
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 6: take a deep breath, a strategic pause, and see what happened,

223
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 6: why it happened, and let's look at the loss of life,

224
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 6: the enforcement of law, and the return to a civil society.

225
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 6: Right now, we have too much division, too much opposition

226
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 6: and adversarial you know, a discussion among the politicians, and

227
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 6: quite frankly, I think a lot of the politicians would

228
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 6: service better just.

229
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: By stop just when they if they would stop talking,

230
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: I can't disagree with that. Chris Piota, Charles Marino, thank

231
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: you both for being here. This story is about to

232
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: get bigger, I think because they're gathering in the streets

233
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis. We've seen it before. During the summer of Floyd.

234
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens this time. Gentlemen, Thank you, thank you,

235
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: Thanks Steve. All right, after the break, I'll bring on

236
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin to discuss everything we've seen today,

237
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: plus the I'mgoing fraud in Minnesota and the reaction to

238
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: what happened in Venezuela. All things around the table with

239
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: the Senator when we come back. Twenty six off to

240
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: a blistering start in the news cycle. To say the least,

241
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: the number of big stories breaking in just the first

242
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: few days. I don't like the word, but it does

243
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: seem unprecedented at this rate. Join me to discuss the

244
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: latest from Minneapolis earlier today. The Senator from the great

245
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: state of Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, Senator, thank you for coming on.

246
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: A lot to discuss today, but let's start with your

247
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: reaction to an ice officer. We've seen the video from

248
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: several different angles. Now there are lawful orders to tell

249
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: the driver, a woman to get out of her vehicle.

250
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: She's blocking traffic. The ice officers are being swarmed by protesters.

251
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: Instead of getting out of the vehicle, she floors her SUV.

252
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: He fires in defense, and least that's the way it

253
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: looks to me, and of course the mayor of Minneapolis

254
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: comes out and condemns Ice and tells him to get

255
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: the f out of Minnesota. Your thoughts, sir, It's just

256
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: a tragedy all the way around.

257
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 10: It just is I mean, obviously for that woman, her family,

258
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 10: for the Ice off officer who is now going to

259
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 10: go through hell. And it's all brought about by, you know,

260
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 10: allowing the illeg.

261
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 11: Ill illegal immigration issue, the open border is to go

262
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 11: completely out of control and the Trump Administration's attempt to

263
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 11: bring it back under control, which the vast majority of

264
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 11: American support.

265
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 10: You know, we we we want secure borders. We don't

266
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 10: want a flood of illegal immigrants coming to this country. Uh,

267
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 10: you know, we don't want to see the fraud. We

268
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 10: we don't want to see the crimes. So it's it's

269
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 10: just a huge mess. It's a huge tragedy. Now that's

270
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 10: going to erupt into major protests again. Hopefully hopefully more

271
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 10: people don't lose their lives. Hopefully there's no additional of

272
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 10: property to I have age type of thing. But you know,

273
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 10: Katie bar the door right now, this is not good.

274
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: With Mayor Fry's comments, they are corrosive comments. They are

275
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: volatile comments. As you heard me talk with my first

276
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: two guests here. To me, he's declared open season on

277
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: federal law enforcement officers. I don't think anything good comes

278
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: from this. It's going to be open season. How is Minnesota,

279
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: your neighboring state there to Wisconsin become the epicenter of

280
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: all this violence, of all this fraud, of all this failure.

281
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

282
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 10: Democrat governance? It's literally that simple again, you know, I

283
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 10: come on the show. I mean, we just had the

284
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 10: anniversary of January sixth, I mean, we condemned the violence there,

285
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 10: Conservatives did.

286
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: We didn't like seeing that this was.

287
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 10: Following the summer of violence in twenty twenty, where Democrats

288
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 10: wouldn't condemn it. They open up the borders, they create

289
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 10: this crime wave, these murders and vehicular homicides and rapes

290
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 10: and all that kind of thing, and they just want

291
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 10: to look.

292
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: The other way because they're bringing in voters.

293
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 10: They're bringing people that will become dependent on government so

294
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 10: they can grow governments, so they can maintain power. I mean,

295
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 10: this is their game plan. It's destructive to America, it's

296
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 10: not helpful, doesn't build anything and it just continues to

297
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 10: tear this nation apart. And I know my comments are partisan,

298
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 10: but again, Republicans don't like to see the disunity. Republicans

299
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 10: don't like seeing the violence. We abhor it, we condemn

300
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 10: it when we see it. We don't We're not juicing it,

301
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 10: we're not encouraging it. And unfortunately, there are far too

302
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 10: many elective officials on the left that are encouraging it.

303
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 10: And you just have the hair trigger response here. So

304
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 10: again it's it's we're in a very dangerous time in

305
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 10: this country. We have been for a number of years.

306
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 10: You know, I ran for the state because we were

307
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 10: more during kid's future. Right now, I think the greatest

308
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 10: wreck to this nation is the horrific political divide.

309
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: The left is doing nothing to heal it. Let me

310
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: ask you about the fraud in Minneapolis. We're gonna keep

311
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: a close eye on the live feeds from Minneapolis, but

312
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: I've got to ask you about the fraud. There was

313
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: testimony on Capitol Hill on the other side in the

314
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: House today. I heard one comment that one company, and

315
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: I use that term lightly, was paid five hundred thousand

316
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: dollars for a single day, a single day of whatever

317
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: the work was and the person that approved that money

318
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: quit the agency within a couple of days and went

319
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: to work for that company. I don't know what it's

320
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: like in Wisconsin, but here in Michigan where I live,

321
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: that's probably criminal behavior. And there's a lot of it.

322
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: And to the two billions of dollars, and we haven't

323
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: even gotten to California or Illinois or New York or

324
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: other big blue states. Look, this is not isolated to Minnesota,

325
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: is it.

326
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 10: No, this is what we're seeing in the you know,

327
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 10: in Minnesota is just a tip of the iceberg.

328
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: When when you.

329
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 10: Spend over seven trillion dollars a year, that's seven thousand

330
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 10: billion dollars a year, you just shovel You can't shovel

331
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 10: the money out of the door fast enough.

332
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: It's going to be misused.

333
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 10: And I keep pointing out that you know, the Somali's

334
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 10: that they're amateurs of this, they've only been this country

335
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 10: a few years. You've got entrenched interests that know how

336
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 10: to gain the system. In many cases, legally, a lot

337
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 10: of this is legalized fraud. Take take all the things

338
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 10: like Medicaid expansion that has spawned things like provider taxes,

339
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 10: provider fees that the federal government has to pay nine

340
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 10: cents or not nine dollars for every dollar the state

341
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 10: spend on things that aren't healthcare, you know, fleeceing the

342
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 10: federal government for tens of billions of dollars. So now

343
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 10: this is rampant. It's all across, all these programs going

344
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 10: to be very difficult to root out until the American

345
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 10: public gets outraged by it. I think it's encouraging that

346
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 10: the Nick Shirley video gained such traction. But the sixty

347
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 10: four thousand dollars question is are there enough Americans that

348
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 10: are working and that are that are paying the taxes,

349
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 10: that are that are carrying the load to outvote those

350
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 10: who are just sitting back and sucking down benefits. I mean,

351
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 10: that's that's the death knel of any in democracy.

352
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I look at this, and I look

353
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: at that money. Billions of dollars in Minnesota that was

354
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: supposed to go to autistic children, to food programs, to

355
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 2: feed the poor, to veterans. They all got the short

356
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: end of this deal. Well, billions of dollars went to

357
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 2: the Somali community, much of an exported back to Somalia

358
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: to support organizations like Al Shabab, according to tremendous amounts

359
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: of reporting supporting open terrorist groups to the to the

360
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: detriment of the American people, right.

361
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 10: And let's face in America is a very compassionation. We

362
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 10: want to help people who can't help themselves. We want

363
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 10: to help people help themselves. But again, the federal government,

364
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 10: the is the entity that is most easy to fleece.

365
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 10: If you've got a customer, you want to fleece it, boy,

366
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 10: you have the federal government be your customer. Because whether

367
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 10: it's health care, whether it's these welfare programs, whether it's

368
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 10: the defense industrial complex, I mean they're all they're all

369
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 10: screwing the American taxpayer by and large, and trying to

370
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 10: uncover it, trying to control it is almost impossible. The

371
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 10: only way he controlled is to limit the size, scope

372
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 10: and cost of government, you know, try and return agreed

373
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 10: ceder government back to within the constraints of the numerated powers.

374
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: Senator Ron Johnson is going to join us for a

375
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: second second. Senator hold on, we'll take a quick break

376
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: here in America's Voice Live. We'll be back to discuss Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua,

377
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: maybe even Greenland. What's coming up next. We'll talk about

378
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: it after the break with the Senator. Continuing now in

379
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: America's Voice Live. We'll keep a close eye on those

380
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: breaking developments in Minneapolis where there was a nice involved shooting.

381
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: A woman is dead, an ice officer is injured. We'll

382
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: keep an eye on that as the story continues to develop.

383
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: Senator Ron Johnson, still with the Senator, I do want

384
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: to touch on the big news that started the year.

385
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: That was the raid to take out Maduro the narco

386
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: dictator in Venezuela. It's unusual to me that so many

387
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: Democrats that called on him to be removed, Chuck Schumer,

388
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, a host of others are now yelling that

389
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: Donald Trump did this and somehow it's a violated from

390
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: international law, even though we've had an extradition treaty with

391
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: Venezuela for more than one hundred years, even though the

392
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: Supreme Court waiting after we got Noriega out of Panama

393
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: and said perfectly legal. It's unusual to me that these

394
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: Democrats would defend a guy who's running the biggest criminal

395
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: enterprise in the Western Hemisphere, bringing in China, Russia, Iron Cuba,

396
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: and so much more drug trafficking, human trafficking. You must

397
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: just sit there in the Senate some days and shake

398
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: your head and disbelief.

399
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 10: Well, I understand how powerful the Trump derangement syndrome is

400
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 10: within Democrats. I mean, there's there's nobody on Earth they

401
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 10: hate more than Donald Trump, including or Madua. So it's

402
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 10: an undeniably good thing that.

403
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: Maduro is gone.

404
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: What happens next?

405
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 10: I think the administration sounds like they've got a game

406
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 10: plan using oil as our leverage, believing that the people there,

407
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 10: you know, rather than see the government completely collapse, you know,

408
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 10: let those people in place, see if we can deal

409
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 10: with them reasonably as we go through about a three

410
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 10: phase transition process here. So it's obvious that President Trump

411
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 10: doesn't want nation building or nation build. He's going to

412
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 10: leave building Venezuela up to Venezuelans. But using you know,

413
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 10: all the levers that America have in terms of our

414
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 10: ability to pretty well dictate where they can sell at oil,

415
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 10: we'll buy it at commercial rates, set up accounts for

416
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 10: the benefit of the Venezuelan people, benefit for our Western

417
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 10: hemisphere and for America as well. So this could really

418
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 10: end up being a win win win situation for South America,

419
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 10: for the Western Hemisphere, for America and the people who

420
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 10: lose their adversaries China, Iran, Russia.

421
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: Cuba, big blow to them. It was not an invasion,

422
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: it was liberation. I mean, that's as simple as it

423
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 2: looks from common sense, Midwest perspective. I would say this

424
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: to people that doubt Donald Trump's word, I'd like you

425
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 2: to speak to this. He warned Venezuela, he warned the

426
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: Iranians when they were building their nuclear capabilities. He's now

427
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 2: worn Colombia and Nicaragua and others. Don't play these games

428
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: because if you cross that line, there will be consequences.

429
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: Anybody that downs Donal Frump's word at this point does

430
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: so at their own peril, do they not?

431
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 10: I thought Sector in State Rubio made that point in

432
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 10: the press conference, so with President Trump very well. So

433
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 10: he didn't speak for very long during that press conference,

434
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 10: but he said listen to it, press and Trump says,

435
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 10: believe what he says. If he tells you he's going

436
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 10: to do something, he will do it.

437
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 5: Now.

438
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 10: He's going to give you all kinds of off ramps.

439
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 10: He tried that with the iatolls. He's tried that with

440
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 10: Madua that they just didn't take it. So the next

441
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 10: tinpot dictator that threatens American's national security, your floods are

442
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 10: nation with the deadly drugs, you know, take the generous offer.

443
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 10: We don't want to use military force. Know Trump doesn't

444
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 10: want to do that. He certainly doesn't want to put

445
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 10: boots on the ground, but he will absolutely protect America's

446
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 10: national security and our interests, and people need to take

447
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 10: him seriously.

448
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: And he will defend the Monroe doctrine. Senator, I really

449
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: appreciate you covering a wide variety of topics today. Thank

450
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: you for taking the time and being here. A great day,

451
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: you too, sir, Yeah, do not doubt his resolve. Coming

452
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: up after the break, I'll continue our coverage of the

453
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: shooting in Minnesota and so much more. Stay tuned for

454
00:25:49,760 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: more details. Straight ahead back to America's Voice Live. Join

455
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: me to continue the discussion of the shooting in Minnesota.

456
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: Earlier today is US federal prosecutor, constitutional attorney and former

457
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: JAG officer at the Pentagon, Don Brown. Don, Welcome back

458
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: to the program. I know you've seen the video here. Look,

459
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's a local police officer, a

460
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: state police officer, a federal agent. If you try to

461
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 2: run somebody down after they have given you a lawful

462
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: order to exit your vehicle, which is clearly heard on

463
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: the audio from every angle, and she instead punches the

464
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: accelerator and gets shot as a result. What did you

465
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: expect was going to happen? Your thoughts?

466
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 12: Look, look, of course information is still breaking, but a

467
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 12: videos a video, and it appears the officer has ordered

468
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 12: her out, she back up and then hit the accelerata

469
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 12: moving forward.

470
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: What do you expect?

471
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 12: You know, we've seen these types of terror tacks before.

472
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 12: We don't know anything really about the driver at this point.

473
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 12: We've seen even Isis use these types of tactics and

474
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 12: running people down in Europe and even in the United States.

475
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 12: And the OSCER has a right to use deadly force

476
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 12: to stop. Deadly force and a moving vehicle can do

477
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 12: a lot of damage, kill a lot of people. And

478
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 12: it appears to be a clear case of self defense

479
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 12: OSCER operating within their rights. And President Trump is you know,

480
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 12: sending you our federal law enforcement up there hopefully to

481
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 12: kind of clean up a lot of this illegal Somali

482
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 12: stuff that's going on in Minnesota, especially in the wake

483
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 12: of this despicable fraud case involving these daycare centers and

484
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 12: Walts appears to have his fingers all over I'm concerned,

485
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 12: of course, about local law enforcement, whether these ICE officers

486
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 12: can get a fair shape there.

487
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: I'm not.

488
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 12: That's one concern we've got to kind of keep an

489
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 12: eye on here, though, Steve, Yeah.

490
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's my concern I've been talking about since the

491
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: top of the program because of the irresponsible comments following

492
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: the shooting by the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, who

493
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: basically said Ice get the f out of Minnesota. That

494
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: kind of irresponsible rhetoric ratchets it up and basically puts

495
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: a a target on the back of every federal law

496
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: enforcement Adacry, maybe every local, maybe every state law enforcement officer.

497
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 2: It is reckless, it is dangerous, and somebody is going

498
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 2: to get killed and they're going to be wearing a badge.

499
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: That's my concern.

500
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 12: Don guess Democrats have been using gas lighting.

501
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: The rhetoric to.

502
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 12: Actually make the jobs of law enforcement all Acrystal country

503
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 12: more and more dangerous is highly irresponsible. It also means that,

504
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 12: you know, how would an officer even get a fair

505
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 12: trial any charges were brought. This should be an opening,

506
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 12: shutcase with zero charges brought at all. But more to

507
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 12: your point, this irresponsible rhetoric is going to cause more

508
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 12: pot shots against oscers, not just federal but state as well.

509
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 12: And look what they did to Derek Chauvin. And Derek

510
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 12: Chauvin should never been prosecuted, but wound up getting prosecuted

511
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 12: for you know this George and George George Floyd case,

512
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 12: when George Floyd committed suicide by fending on the question

513
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 12: about it. It's it's a real bad situation there. And

514
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 12: I think that when you have public officials that are

515
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 12: inciting violence against law enforcement, that'll be held to you know,

516
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 12: held to account. I mean, Minnesota is the birthplace and

517
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 12: many of the fact, let me be clear, they're great

518
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 12: folks in Minnesota, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Henneping County is the

519
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 12: birthplace of the to Fund the Police movement of this

520
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 12: successful of cancer against law enforcement. And I commend the

521
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 12: President for his asks to trying to clean this up

522
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 12: and we'll see how this breaks. But I want to

523
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 12: really know more about this this person who was shot,

524
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 12: what was she up to? Why does she do what

525
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 12: she did? Does she have an agenda. We're still questioned to.

526
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: Find out more sure. Meanwhile, in Hennepin County, billions of

527
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars defrauded from the government there systematically over years,

528
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 2: and there was testimony on Capitol Hill the small accusing

529
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: administration officials, the Tim Walls administration of openly looking the

530
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: other way because it was politically beneficial to them to

531
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: allow the Somali community to continue with what they were doing,

532
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: because they got one hundred thousand Somalian folks there a

533
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: Somalian background that go to the polls and vote for

534
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: the Democrats because they're fleecing the system through childcare, home,

535
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: health care, autism centers, you name it, they did it.

536
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: They fleece the government. And what I heard today means

537
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: that people should be in jail. We have to hold

538
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: people accountable down this whole thing about well, we won't

539
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: quite get there. Well, we'll issue some urist letters. Know,

540
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: we need to see people in handcuffs. We need to

541
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: see people in jail for committing multiple felonies at the

542
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: expense of people that needed that money. The kids that

543
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: actually have autism or went hungry that day, are veterans

544
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: living on the streets down. It's time to say no

545
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: more your thoughts.

546
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 12: Yeah my thoughts for Pam Bonding needs to put her

547
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 12: foot on the accelerator and really get this show on

548
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 12: the road. These prosecutions have got to come there. It's

549
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 12: clear undisputed evidence of widespread fraud there with these daycare centers.

550
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 12: If this goes all the way up to the Minnesota

551
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 12: Governor's office, then so be it. But unless you really

552
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 12: accelerate the pace of these prosecutions, the defense will delay,

553
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 12: delay to lay delay and hope that the gas runs out.

554
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 12: We got to do more, take more action, and do

555
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 12: less talking when it comes to this. I want to

556
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 12: see that happen. And I really want to see every

557
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 12: illegal Somali rooted out of Minnesota now. And this is,

558
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 12: by the way, a testament to the foolishness of our

559
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 12: legal immigration program. These people are in the United States

560
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 12: to begin with, they never have been allowed to immigrate.

561
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,239
Speaker 12: They embrace the philosophy of sharia law, which is at

562
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 12: war with the Constitution. It just shows how ludicrous the Democrats'

563
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 12: policies have been.

564

605
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 5: we are all here. The loss of life is not

606
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 5: anything anyone I wanted to acknowledge the reason that we

00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 5: are all here. The loss of life is not anything

608
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 5: anyone would ever want. We fully expect that the community

Speaker 5: will want to peacefully demonstrate their anger or frustration. Minnesota

610
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 5: residents and visitors have the right to peacefully demonstrate. We

611
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 5: recognize that demonstrations are often driven by strong emotions, beliefs,

612
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 5: and certainly a desire to be heard. Our role is

613
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: to help ensure everyone can express themselves without anyone getting hurt.

616
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 5: and above all, to prevent harm. Our top priority is

617
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: public safety. Our focus is keeping demonstrators, community members, drivers,

618
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 5: and law enforcements safe, especially during moments of heightened tens

619
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 5: or uncertainty. Demonstrations must remain safe and lawful, particularly around roadways.

620
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 5: We will join with our partners to support safety while

621
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 5: respecting the right to protest. With that in mind, I'd

622
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 5: like to share a few safe and lawful ways to

623
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 5: demonstrate Minnesotans can safely and legally express their views in

624
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 5: many ways, including getting together peacefully with others in public spaces,

625
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: marching or walking not on roadway, making your voice heard

626
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 5: through chants, speeches, and displaying signs. Being present in public

627
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 5: areas where pedestrians are allowed, gathering in designated or permitted areas,

628
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 5: and these actions will allow people to express themselves while

629
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 5: protecting the safety of everyone involved. Unsafe or illegal actions

630
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 5: could result in fines or arrests. Certain behaviors create serious

631
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 5: hazards that threaten public safety, disrupt emergency services, or put

632
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 5: people at risk. These actions could result in fines or

633
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 5: arrest demonstrating on or entering a freeway on foot, walking

634
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 5: on highways, throwing objects, starting or setting fires, damaging property

635
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 5: or graffiti, using illegal fireworks, displaying or using illegal weapons,

636
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 5: reckless or dangerous driving, especially near pedestrians, and certainly assault

637
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 5: of aggressive or riotous behavior toward anyone. We all want

638
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 5: definitive answers to what happened today. Our Bureau of Criminal

639
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: Apprehension is working in conjunction with the FBI to investigate

640
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 5: this morning shooting. As you know, we don't comment on

641
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 5: active investigations, but also keep in mind that this is

642
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 5: an investigation is also in its infancy, so any speculation

643
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 5: about what had happened would be just that, and we

644
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 5: will not engage in speculation with that. I will turn

645
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 5: it back over to the governor. Thank you, Thank you.

646
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 13: We'd be glad to take any questions. Yeah, and I

647
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 13: could let I can let General Schaeffer talk about this.

648
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 13: It so happens as a training weekend. We've got about

649
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 13: seventy five hundred troops in training at our sites, training

650
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 13: sites across the state. What it is and in the

651
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 13: National Guard, you give a warning order, which is a

652
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 13: heads up of something could be coming. That just allows

653
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 13: people to think about what they would need, what it

654
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 13: would mean to mobilize, what it would mean to put

655
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 13: them in And I could let the General talk a

656
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 13: little bit about this. Obviously, since the summer of twenty twenty,

657
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 13: we had a lot of work done on teams being

658
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 13: ready to make sure that civil unrest and what that means.

659
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 13: And I think Commissioner Jacobson is very clear, and I

660
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 13: want Minnesotas to hear this from me, the desire to

661
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 13: get out in protest and to speak up to this

662
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 13: administration of how wrong this is, that that is a

663
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 13: patriotic duty at this point in time, but it needs

664
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 13: to be done safely, and I think the Commissioner simply

665
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 13: just laid out some of those parameters. We can do that.

666
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 13: This is the peaceful resistance that we need. Simon, you

667
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 13: want to say a few things about what that means

668
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 13: to have them on the ready, Yes, sir.

669
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, Governor.

670
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: So in for the military, Minnesota National Guard, it's comprised

671
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 3: of thirteen thousand soldiers in airmen. We live all across

672
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: and work throughout Minnesota. A warrning order is just an

673
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: initial step to increase your preparations. The Minnesota Guard is

674
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: always prepared to respond and support state agencies and the

675
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: citizens of Minutes. So what that means for us today

676
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: is just some additional checks on equipment that are already

677
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: is ready all at all times, and maybe some additional

678
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: phone calls to service members who might be activated. But nothing,

679
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: no activations. We are embedded with our state agencies here

680
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: at the Operations Center to just continue parallel planning in

681
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 3: the events that we are needed to support.

682
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 13: Thanks John, and I would make note Mary and to

683
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 13: Minnesotan's on this about the National Guard. They're there to

684
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 13: protect you and protect your constitutional rights. These are our neighbors.

685
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 13: They don't wear masks, they do aren't bust in from

686
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 13: somewhere else. They're not here to cause the hassles to

687
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 13: you or what we saw today the tragedy having them

688
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 13: at the ready to make sure because when we see

689
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 13: these types of things happen, and we saw it after

690
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 13: the murder of George Floyd, there's folks that want to

691
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 13: cause chaos. There's the disruptors in it, and why the

692
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 13: vast majority of those protests were peaceful expressions their First

693
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 13: Amendment rights. There were those that destroyed property and put

694
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 13: people at risk. The National Guard is there to make

695
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 13: sure that peaceful protests are able to be done and

696
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 13: that those that want to do the destruction are stopped

697
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 13: from doing that. Yes, yeah, yeah, well, and I think

698
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 13: apparently by a federal agent, not by Minnesotans who were

699
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 13: there to express their First Amendment rights. I think we've

700
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 13: seen this to have folks ready. The gatherings that were

701
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 13: down there today, I think this shocked everyone. People showed

702
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 13: up as they should. There's people putting flowers down on

703
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 13: a memorial, there's people expressing their anger. It's just as

704
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 13: these situations develop, we decide when we need to move

705
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 13: these people out, and I think the local reporters know

706
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 13: well on this, both unfortunately and for us. The upside

707
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 13: of this is is that we're very good and we've

708
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 13: had practice at this, And I just want to again

709
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 13: implore Minnesotans. I am not telling you not to express

710
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 13: your anger or your frustrations or the outrage that we have. Look,

711
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 13: this was totally predictable, as I said it yesterday, and

712
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 13: it was totally avoidable, and I just wanted to remind

713
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 13: you too. The local law enforcement, we get no coordination.

714
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 13: They don't tell us they're coming, they don't say why

715
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 13: they're sending the largest deployment in American history to Minneapolis.

716
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 13: They're not making us any safer. We don't have any

717
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 13: of that coordination. They should be talking to us when

718
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 13: we do these things, let us know we are going

719
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 13: to be down here, this is going to happen. We

720
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 13: don't have that. So when you see local law enforcement

721
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 13: or state patrol, or if it would take the National Guard,

722
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 13: we're there responding to the chaos they've created too. But

723
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 13: our role is to make sure that we're protecting Minnesota

724
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 13: so that something like this doesn't happen. I have not.

725
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 13: The question was if I've spoken to the individual's family. No,

726
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 13: we do not have a definitive idea on this individual.

727
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 13: And I look, I'm going to note to all of you.

728
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 13: I think it's really important and the professionals do this

729
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 13: and they train me to do this. This is an

730
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 13: open investigation. You need to be very careful about it.

731
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 13: I know that many of you, myself included, have seen

732
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 13: a very difficult video to watch, one where there's a

733
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 13: family member watched their family member be shot and killed

734
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 13: in front of them. It's beyond me that apparently from

735
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 13: the federal government, from the Homeland Security Director herself, has

736
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 13: already determined who this person was, what their motive was,

737
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 13: and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle.

738
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 13: This is we're not living in a normal world. And

739
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 13: so no, I have not, And I want to be

740
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 13: very careful because I know how painful this is. I

741
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 13: know how painful is right now I'm saying person and

742
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 13: all that this is a human being. This very well

743
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 13: is that you know an individual's child, a parent, and

744
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 13: we don't know that yet. So no, I have not,

745
00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 13: but once we do, we will. So yes, colonel, would

746
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 13: you like to do?

747
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 14: Colonel?

748
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 15: So the question was how many are in How many

749
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 15: state patrol troopers have been deployed to the city of

750
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 15: Minneapolis right now, we don't talk typical numbers because that

751
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 15: is considered security information. We do have a specialized team

752
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 15: that does deal with crowd control, and so they have

753
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 15: been deployed. But again, they are from all over the

754
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 15: state of Minnesota, so they will come in in tiers

755
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 15: to this state. No, they it was in response to

756
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 15: this event.

757
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 13: I'm sorry, what was well? I said this yesterday. We've

758
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 13: never been at war with our federal government. I think

759
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 13: in this case that the National Guard is their main mission.

760
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 13: They have a dual mission. There's the federal mission when

761
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 13: they're under Title ten orders, and then they're under Title

762
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 13: thirty two orders and this warning order. There's nothing officially

763
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 13: been done yet. If I am to activate them, as

764
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 13: the commander in chief of the Minnesota National Guard, I

765
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 13: will issue the executive order to the Minnesota National Guard

766
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 13: and then they will be put in state duty status.

767
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 13: And as you've seen over the last few years, that

768
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 13: could be flood prevention. That could be after a wind

769
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 13: blowing storm up in the north up in BAMIGI, or

770
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 13: it could be COVID or George Floyd response. In this case, again,

771
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 13: it doesn't necessarily change the mission. They're there to protect Minnesotans.

772
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 13: They're there to serve Minnesotans. I think the thing that

773
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 13: is so challenging in the moment we're in is we

774
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 13: don't see a desire to work with us on public safety.

775
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 13: We hear a demonization of our state. We see people

776
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 13: coming in who don't know our community, and we see

777
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 13: this massive display for the TVs that we're trying to

778
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 13: understand how is this coordinated? And some of you watch

779
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 13: the videos on there, total chaos, and look, I have

780
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 13: very limited work in this is the training in the

781
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 13: National Guard, but I've had a lot of training now

782
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 13: to watch how our professionals operate after this person was shot.

783
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 13: Federal agents milling around, touching the vehicle at a crime scene,

784
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 13: and things. I don't know what to tell you, and

785
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 13: I don't quite know how to respond to the question

786
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 13: other than my primary responsibility as governors the protection of

787
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 13: the people of minnesot And you can be assured, whether

788
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 13: it's the State Patrol or whether it's the National Guard,

789
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 13: their deployment is there to protect Minnesotas from whatever it is.

790
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 13: If it's an act of nature, if it's a global pandemic,

791
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 13: or in this case, if it is a rogue federal agent.

792
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 13: I don't know at this time, and I want to

793
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 13: be very careful. It's unprecedented that we have the federal

794
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 13: governments already determined exactly what's happened here in the motives

795
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 13: of an individual that we don't even know the name.

796
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 13: They don't know the name, and that's very difficult.

797
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 16: So well, one more data, data, look, and I understand

798
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 16: the uniqueness of this moment in this week coming following

799
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 16: this week, seeing what's happening in the backdrop of a.

800
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 13: Show hearing in.

801
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: DC.

802
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 13: My job is to govern, and my job is to

803
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 13: see what the facts are. This happened a couple of

804
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 13: hours ago, and we're already pitting American against American. All

805
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 13: of you saw a video in your eyes. We have

806
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 13: a chaotic situation caused by the largest deployment in American

807
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 13: history of federal agents into a community with no communication

808
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 13: to locals. We had a chaotic situation where an individual

809
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 13: is in their car, shot and killed. And so look,

810
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 13: I want to be very cautious here because Donald Trump

811
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 13: will make this about me, He will make this about politics.

812
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 13: This is about public safety, and this about normalcy. To

813
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 13: Americans who are watching this, if you're in Portland, or

814
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 13: you're in LA or you're in Chicago, or you're wherever

815
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 13: they're coming next, stand with us, stand with us against this. This,

816
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 13: This was so so preventable, so unnecessary. And I don't know,

817
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 13: I hope maybe we're at their McCarthy moment. Do you

818
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 13: have no decency? Do you have no decency? We have

819
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 13: someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. And

820
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 13: and I bet I don't. I don't want to be

821
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 13: right about this, but I said, if they do this,

822
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 13: they're going to create a chaotic situation where someone innocent's

823
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 13: going to get killed. And they did it. And now

824
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 13: we hear more political rhetoric. Enough, enough is enough. And

825
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 13: so to Minnesotan's, don't take the bait, Do not take

826
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 13: the bait. Do not allow them to deploy federal troops

827
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,479
Speaker 13: into here, Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act,

828
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 13: do not allow them to declare martial law. Do not

829
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 13: allow them to lie about the security and the decency

830
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 13: of this state. And let's let this investigation play itself out.

831
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 13: Let's make sure we protect our neighbors. I encourage you

832
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 13: to use your First Amendment rights, in all of your

833
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 13: constitutional rights, but do so in a peaceful manner. We'll

834
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 13: gather back with you as soon as we gather more

835
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 13: information that needs to be put out. But again, stay safe,

836
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 13: Minnesotan's and we'll be back with you.

837
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 14: Thank you, Thank you, MoMA.

838
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: Now did I hear this correctly? Did I hear the

839
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: governor of Minnesota just suggest that the Minnesota National Guards

840
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: would be put in place to defend against federal law enforcement.

841
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to go back and listen to that again,

842
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: but I'm sure that's why I heard. I did hear

843
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 2: him say that this driver is dead for no reason whatsoever,

844
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: no reason whatsoever. She was told to exit her vehicle

845
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: lawful commands from a federal law enforcement She did not

846
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: follow those orders. Instead, she pumped the gas and accelerated

847
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 2: right at him. From where I said, it looks like

848
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: self defense. Now, this is an early early part of

849
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: the conversation. But give me a break, Give me a break, Governor.

850
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: That is an embarrassment to you, to your state, to

851
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 2: the administration, you pretend to run in a state overrun

852
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: with fraud and crime and other problems. What an embarrassment

853
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 2: that was for Governor Tim Walls killed for no reason

854
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 2: whatsoever except for trying to maim a police officer. Well

855
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: more on this coming up with Bowling. Stay with Real

856
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: America's Voice for continuing cover
