1
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Good evening, in a welcome to turning point.

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: Tonight, we're together, we are charting the course of America's

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: cultural comeback.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween to all of you good and fine folks.

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: Hopefully you had a lot of kids knocking on your

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: door asking for tricks or treats. Well, hopefully you didn't

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: trick them into thinking that possibly Kamala Harris might be

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: the next president of the United States. That would be

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: too terrifying for anybody to be able to withstand, and

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: not to get into a whole thing.

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: It actually was very very interesting.

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: On the Megan Kelly Tour, Donald Trump Junior was the

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: first guest our stop in sugar Land, Texas on Thursday

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: of last week, in which he endorsed Kamala Harris as

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party going forward. I thought,

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: again that was too terrifying for even the audience there,

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: But he did make the point of if she's the nominee,

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna win again, which is actually good for me.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of the fact that it's Halloween, we wanted to

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: actually show you some very very scary footage from around

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: the country and bring you stories that you may not

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: have otherwise seen. It's been on our social media platforms,

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: the turning point platforms, the frontline platforms specifically, but we

24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: wanted to start off with this fantastic documentary from fan

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: favorite and show favorite Savan Hernandez, who joins us now

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: to briefly set this up. Savannah, you are back from abroad.

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: I heard you went to Somalia specific Sorry, sorry, you

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: went to Minneapolis.

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: I guess my bad.

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Minnesota, Minnesota, not yet, yeah, Minemomalia exactly.

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, babe, So you went to Minnis, Somalia.

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: You did this fantastic piece, And I know we like

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: to have fun here and this is kind of like

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: a lighter hearted take in this, but also this is

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: some super serious and in my opinion, very scary stuff.

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Can you set us up for what people are about

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: to watch? And then also to audience question, did filming

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: this make you nervous or scared? I know you have

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: nerves of steel, but also like this is this is

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: pretty touchy.

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 4: Sure.

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll start off answering that it was a

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: completely different culture. I've never been to Minneapolis before, but

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: you would think, Okay, I'm still in the United States

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: of America.

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 5: The culture is going to be the same.

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. I did definitely feel like I was in

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: a foreign country just because the culture was very different,

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: The people were very different, you know, the interactions were

50
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: very different. So we'll start off with that. I wouldn't

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: say I felt necessarily unsafe, but I did feel like

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: I was not in the United States of America, so that,

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: I guess was a little bit unsettling and regarding what

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: viewers are about to watch, this is one of my

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: favorite documentaries that I have done. I put a lot

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: of effort and time into it, a lot of research

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: into how we got to a point in the United

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 3: States where we have entire enclaves of people that have

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: not assimilated to American culture at all. I mean, we

60
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: had various parts of the US that don't look or

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: feel like the US anymore. So this documentary is going

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: to explain how the US got to where it is

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: today in terms of the various cultures that we are

64
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: seeing across the country.

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: Sev I want to I want to make sure our

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: viewers get to this, so I I want to not

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: necessarily cut you off, but also not want to make

68
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: it stretch too long. But at the same time, I

69
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: am very curious, and this is to get a little

70
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: bit more lighthearted. Who was looking around Minnesota and thought,

71
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: you know what, this place needs about four hundred thousand

72
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: foreigners to ruin the culture.

73
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: What happened?

74
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: And I know you kind of touch on this in

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: the documentary, but briefly give us an outline of what

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: went wrong.

77
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: The US government loves importing people and instead of, you know,

78
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: allowing those people to assimilate, basically tells them, hey, instead

79
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: of assimilating, we'll go ahead and.

80
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 5: Import your entire country for you so you don't have to.

81
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: So again, this all has to do with government programs

82
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: are asylum and refugee programs, which.

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 5: Have been taken advantage of for a long time.

84
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: And I know it's a very controversial subject right to

85
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: talk about legal immigration, but I kind of do touch

86
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: on how the system has been so taken advantage of

87
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: so long that again we have entire enclaves of people

88
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: that don't want to or need to assimilate to American

89
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: culture because the US government will just import their entire

90
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: country for them.

91
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

92
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that is a fascinating development in Western civilization.

93
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: I hope we can survive at sav Fernandez is very,

94
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: very exciting that people get to finally see this on

95
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 2: this particular platform. Thank you so much for doing it

96
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: and viewers enjoy this.

97
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: Where are you from.

98
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 6: I'm from Somaya, lack Here, Minnesota, as you know, so Mali. Yeah, mah,

99
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 6: that's what I don't know.

100
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 7: This is a distant culture. This is the Somali community.

101
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 8: So Cedar Riverside, the West Bank has its own kind

102
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 8: of bubble universe. Once across Franklin, once across Riverside, we

103
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 8: kind of exist in this place and it's deeply beautiful

104
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 8: that doesn't follow the rules of the rest of the

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 8: city or the rest of reality.

106
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: Minnesota, known as the Land of ten Thousand Lakes, is

107
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: known for its over fourteen thousand bodies of fresh water,

108
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: vast prairies, fertile farmland, and also it's growing Muslim in

109
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: African population.

110
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 7: What I grew up, I had friends of all different shades.

111
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 7: Now you come up into the city and really even

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 7: a lot of little small towns, it seems to be

113
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 7: a demographic shift to primarily Somalians.

114
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 9: It is definitely a lot of Somalis. But I don't

115
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 9: affect me. I don't know, I don't care.

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 5: Are they pretty friendly.

117
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're cool.

118
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 9: They're cool for the most part.

119
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: The change dry for ship, but.

120
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: Hey, I now home to the largest Somali population in

121
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: the US. Minnesota has garnered headlines, and not only due

122
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: to the viral videos and stories from the state, but

123
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: also the rapidly changing culture that some have categorized as

124
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: a takeover of.

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 10: Minnesotas around the world are celebrating Eed this weekend, and

126
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 10: one of the biggest celebrations in the Western Hemisphere takes

127
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 10: place here in Minnesota. I'm proud to announce today that

128
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 10: during the month of Ramadan, we will be having the

129
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 10: Call to Prayer broadcast right now.

130
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 11: We're blessed to have three Somali elected officials at the

131
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 11: capital and we work very closely together and we carry

132
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 11: each other's bills.

133
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: I'm like, but was this just online exaggeration or was

134
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: this community of Somali's from a country over eight thousand

135
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: miles away really taking over the state like the internet said.

136
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: We went to the Cedar Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis, also

137
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: known as the Somali Capital of America, to go find out.

138
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 5: Smally Street, where in Somali are you from? Mogudish Where

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 5: are you from? Where are you from?

140
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Malia?

141
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 5: Which part south side?

142
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: South side of Somalia? When did you come to the US?

143
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 12: So I come like two thousand.

144
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 7: I'm from Somalia, but I got to go to work

145
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 7: right now?

146
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: What part of Somaliagadishu? When'd you get here?

147
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 7: I came here nineteen ninety nine.

148
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 5: Do you like the US? How has it been? It's

149
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 5: not bad? It's good.

150
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 7: You guys call here this area little mo.

151
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: Are you sure?

152
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 13: Yes?

153
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 5: Who said that?

154
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: Somebody was just you know, just following the ladies here

155
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: and just keep saying, is this is a little Mogadisho?

156
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: No, that's not us.

157
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: We've been asking people who live in the area about

158
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: Samali culture where they're from.

159
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: So with that's all we've been asking people.

160
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 9: You never, guys, you guys should never ask a little

161
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,160

Speaker 16: Yeah.

174
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: They were just trying to learn about the culture here, and.

175
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: It's not important to learn well some more.

176
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 5: Culture is a diver Do you ever miss home or

177
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,560

Speaker 4: I miss home actually really?

179
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 17: Yeah?

180
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: Do you want to go back or do you think

00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 5: you'll stay?

00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 7: Going back this year?

00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 10: You are?

184
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we lack here in Minnesota. As you know,

185
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: it's a lot of so Mali. Yeah, instate of So Malieah,

186
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 6: that's right.

187
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: So it reminds you of home, which is all you

188
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: like it here?

189
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, sometimes I miss home, But then for real life,

190
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 12: you have to work hard and you have to improve yourself.

191
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 5: That's all.

192
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: After spending time in the neighborhood, we could see how

193
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: drastically different this area was from other parts of Minneapolis.

194
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 5: But how did the Somali.

195
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: Population, which has now grown to an estimated eighty to

196
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand people, become so prominent here in Minnesota. Well,

197
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: it all started with the Refugee Act of nineteen eighty,

198
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: signed by President Jimmy Carter. This law created a formal

199
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: system for admitting and resettling refugees into the US, also

200
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: providing a path to permanent residency and citizenship after one year.

201
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: This Act, which initially set a cap of fifty thousand refugees,

202
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: topped over two hundred thousand in its first year due

203
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: to the aftermath of the Vietnam warph and since that timeframe,

204
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: the numbers have continued to fluctuate due to the president

205
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: being able to set the annual sea link. For example,

206
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: we saw numbers ranging from seventy thousand to eighty five

207
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: thousand per year under President Obama, down to a low

208
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: of fifteen thousand refugees under President Trump. This Act remains

209
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: the backbone of the US refugee policy, with over three

210
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: point five million refugees resettled nationwide since nineteen eighty, including

211
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of Somalis. During the nineteen nineties, the

212
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: Somali Civil War erupted and over one million people were

213
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: displaced after their government's collapse, created a massive refugee crisis.

214
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: Under the Refugee Act, the US.

215
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: Began admitting these Somalis in the early nineties, with about

216
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: fifty five thousand coming into the US from nineteen eighty

217
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: three to two thousand four. Law many were resettled in

218
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: Minnesota by organizations like Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities,

219
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: which partnered with the federal government to bring them over,

220
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: and Minnesota, which already had a strong history of welcoming

221
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: refugees since the seventies, was a hotspot for affordable housing,

222
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,359
Speaker 3: job opportunities, and of course, generous social services.

223
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 15: The International Health Clinic sets aside Mondays.

224
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 5: And Tuesdays to serve Minnesota's.

225
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 15: Growing Somali population, most of whom were in the US

226
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 15: legally as refugees, and qualify for various health insurance programs.

227
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: Secondary migration also played a part in growing the Somali population,

228
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: as Somalis from other states moved to join families and

229
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: Somali communities, boosting the population from a few hundred and

230
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety two to tens of thousands by the two thousands.

231
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: Immigration reform in the nineties also added more pathways for refugees,

232
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: such as Temporary Protected Status or TPS, which has shielded

233
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: Somalis from deportation since nineteen ninety one due to ongoing

234
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: violence and instability in Somalia. This has recently also been

235
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: extended for Somalis in the US well into twenty twenty six. Finally,

236
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: the Diversity Visa Lottery, launched in nineteen ninety and still

237
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: active today, allocates up to fifty five thousand green cards

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: annually to people from unrepresented countries such as Somalia.

239
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 6: Iwan, diviltries, diffilotre is like Borcees like you will like

240
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 6: Ramdani every year.

241
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: Once resettled refugees and immigrants can sponsor relatives under family

242
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: reunification provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, creating a

243
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: chain of fact that not only continues to grow the

244
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: populations but also has fundamentally changed the culture of various

245
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: American neighborhoods, just like Cedar Riverside. So we've been out

246
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: here for probably about two hours and overall everyone we've

247
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: spoken to has been pretty friendly.

248
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 5: It does seem like some of the locals are getting

249
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: a little bit defensive, but it's okay.

250
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: Like I said, so far, everyone's been pretty nice. However,

251
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: one thing that I have I've noticed is none of

252
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: the women will speak to us.

253
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 5: They all seem very shy. Would you like to interview

254
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 5: with us? Okay? And some of the locals explaining maybe

255
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 5: why that is.

256
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 7: They've was simulated.

257
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 18: Sometimes the women seem kind of not inaccuratized. They're definitely

258
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 18: like almost a second running on the ladder. They're they're

259
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 18: kept to be quiet, and you know what I mean.

260
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: I've been trying to talk to a couple of them.

261
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: They seem pretty shy.

262
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I mean.

263
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 18: They're not really open with dropping out what's really on

264
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 18: their mind. They do keep things, you can see it

265
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 18: when you look into their eyes, but they don't they

266
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 18: won't talk to you, and they.

267
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 7: And it's somewhat I think what the culture is.

268
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 9: Some of them will be cool, but most of the

269
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 9: Somalis stick to some Malis. You know, I was asking them.

270
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 9: I was asking a couple of Somalis about a store.

271
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 9: I was shying a rod for the kids or whatever.

272
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 8: You know.

273
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 9: He told me, like, you know, if you're not Somali,

274
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 9: if you're not Somebali, the Somali community really ain't go

275
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 9: mess with who like they have messed with another Somali.

276
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 8: You know, people get freaked out by this neighborhood. When

277
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 8: I grew up, there was a lot more violence. There's

278
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 8: a lot of stabbings, there's a lot more shootings.

279
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: A lot of the critiques online are people saying that

280
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: those Somalis don't assimilate, that it's an entirely different culture.

281
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 5: Are what's your viewpoint on that as somebody.

282
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 8: Who lives here, Well, this neighborhood is a lot of

283
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 8: history and there's been like layers and layers of different cultures.

284
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 8: Like most Smoli people came to this neighborhood ninety five

285
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 8: through ninety seven. Before that you had a big wave

286
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 8: of Aromo or retree In and Amharic people from Ethiopia.

287
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 8: Before that, it was among in Vietnamese people who got

288
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 8: knocked over by the US government. But that's how it goes,

289
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 8: same with a lot of Somali people. Actually, So there's

290
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 8: a lot of layers of history and a lot of

291
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 8: people that kind of integrated into the subcultural world, which

292
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 8: people as a community don't integrate. There's a lot of

293
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 8: like structures of like the Klan, there's a lot of

294
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 8: structures of community that persist, which also leads to a

295
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 8: lot of people getting taken care of a smileing people

296
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 8: specifically getting taken care of it away that they wouldn't

297
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 8: if they were assimilating. You go to that cafe, you

298
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 8: go to any caf Somali cafe around here, and instead

299
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 8: of a tip jar, they got the community fund jar

300
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 8: for some for a family that's broke to send money

301
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 8: back home. There is a lot of people don't assimilate,

302
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 8: but that it is what it is, you know, and

303
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 8: it's like, there's nothing wrong with that.

304
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 7: But I would say there was a lot more younger

305
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 7: people around and just more diversity. I mean, it's not

306
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 7: trying to be racist, but it just really is some

307
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 7: aliens everywhere. It's a lot cleaner, a lot less chaos.

308
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 7: You weren't finding accidents, car accidents and drug users everywhere

309
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 7: and that that.

310
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 5: Kind of stuff.

311
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: Okay, so I've heard the second Minnesota who was mentioned

312
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: the driving thing, and yesterday we actually witnessed a car

313
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: crash in this area.

314
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 5: Is the driving a big problem?

315
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 7: It is a huge problem.

316
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 16: Yeah.

317
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 7: Things used to be fairly orderly. You know, if something

318
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 7: went wrong, the cops would show up. It's not like

319
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 7: that anymore. It's kind of like your left to fend

320
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 7: for yourself unless the cops do have to show up.

321
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 7: I know there was a there's a white pickup truck

322
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 7: that was just parked like half on the curb and

323
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 7: half in the street, and it was there for like

324
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 7: a week or two. You never would have seen that

325
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 7: kind of thing before. It might still be there. I

326
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 7: haven't checked in recently, but just that kind of dilapidated,

327
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 7: just negliging, you know, people just not caring about the area.

328
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 19: It was kind of a sad street tonight because we

329
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 19: got too Minneapolis restaurants that have.

330
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: Been city institutions here for decades, they're shutting their doors.

331
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: Now.

332
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: I'm currently standing in front of Palmo's Bar because this

333
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: bar has been here for one hundred and nineteen years

334
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: and they are.

335
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 5: Set to close down in September.

336
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: After living through the prohibition, outliving two World wars and

337
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: the Great Depression, they're going to be closing down because

338
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: the owner state that not only is the current economic

339
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: condition taking a toll on the bar, but also the

340
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: culture surrounding drinking in this area has changed so substantially

341
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: that they're losing ten to thirty thousand dollars every single Now,

342
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: this is not the only bar on this strip of

343
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: land that is closed down, by the way, three other

344
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: bars have closed down in the last thirteen years, as

345
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: well as an iconic punk rock venue. Now that venue,

346
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: which locals had previously stated was a staple in Minneapolis

347
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: for up and coming punk rock bands that closed down

348
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: and has since been turned into an African restaurant. And

349
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: this bar has been bought out by the mosque that

350
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: is next door to it. It is the oldest Somali

351
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: mosque in Minneapolis, by the way.

352
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 5: They have bought this area.

353
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: And they are now going to be combining it with

354
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: their mosque and turning it into a community center. But

355
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: the growing population isn't the only way Minneapolis has changed.

356
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: To give you an idea of how much the Somalian

357
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 3: Muslim culture have influenced the city. Back in twenty nineteen,

358
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Fray declared that July first, with

359
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: Somali Culture Day.

360
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 14: I'm not gonna go on Jacob Fray and videos of

361
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 14: the annual event regularly go viral as the Minneapolis partakes

362
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 14: in traditional Somali dances, waves the Somali flag, and chance

363
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 14: long Live Somalia in fluent Samala.

364
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: Mayor Frey was also at the forefront of changing noise

365
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: ordinance throughout Minneapolis to allow the Islamic called to Prayer

366
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: to be broadcasted five times a day, with the earliest

367
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: calls starting at around three am. The Minnesota state flag

368
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: was also recently changed back in twenty twenty four under

369
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: the direction of current Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, and many

370
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: Minnesotans immediately called out how similar it looked to none

371
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 3: other than Somalia's flag.

372
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 5: The our current flag is problematic.

373
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 20: I think we all know that we've evolved into a

374
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 20: more diverse state, and I think it's.

375
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: More reflected that that representation of the Somali population has

376
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: also made its way to both state and local politics.

377
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 3: And back in twenty eighteen, Minnesota elected Ilkan Omar, the

378
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: first Muslim Somali politician to Congress.

379
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 21: I stand here before you tonight as you're a Congresswoman.

380
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: Omar, who is still currently serving as a Congresswoman, has

381
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: made ways for her progressive stance and consistent fight against

382
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: what she states is white supremacist American culture.

383
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 22: We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system

384
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 22: of oppression wherever we find it.

385
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: But recently, it's her consistent Somalia first stance and loyalty

386
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: to her home country over the US that has been garnering.

387
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 5: Attention across social media.

388
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: But I am a Somali girl, a girl with your

389
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: lineage that misses her country and wishes to live there.

390
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 5: Can share with its people. I am very honored to have.

391
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: The chance that our president, the President of Somalia, President

392
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud, let us give him a warm welcome mineap.

393
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: The interests of Ilkhan are not Ilhan. It's not the

394
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 3: interest in Minnesota, nor is it the interest of.

395
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: The American people.

396
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: The interest of Ihan is that of the Somalian people

397
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: and Somalia.

398
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 12: She's the fattestest Somali. You're going to get elected. You

399
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 12: now to Washington. So I feel it's great, you know so.

400
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: And Ilkhan isn't the only Somali politician making waves. Omar

401
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 3: fa Ta, who recently secured and then lost the Democratic

402
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: endorsement for mayor of Minneapolis, has also mirrored many of

403
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: the same sentiments Ilkan Omar has regarding Somalia and the US.

404
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 11: I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to

405
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 11: each other here in Minnesota and back home, and I'm

406
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 11: running to bridge that gap and unite all of us

407
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 11: and represent all of us, because when we succeed here,

408
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 11: we succeed.

409
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: Who were Fiteian Omar are examples of the changing politics

410
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 3: and demographic in Minnesota politics, and despite making up just

411
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 3: one percent of the population within Minnesota, many have pointed

412
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: out just how widespread the influence of the Somali community

413
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 3: now stretches. The introduction of mosques throughout the state is

414
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 3: another example of the changing area and back in nineteen

415
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: ninety eight, the first Somali mosque opened in the state,

416
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: with only one other mosque open prior. Fast forward to

417
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five and there are now at least seventy

418
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: six mosques throughout the state, with a significant number of

419
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: them opened by Somali's.

420
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: And while I was.

421
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: On the ground, a shocking story surrounding a local Somali

422
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: mosque began garnering national headlines. This is the Van Hernandez

423
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: standing in front of the Alphasan Islamic Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

424
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: Now I'm standing.

425
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: Here because this mosque has made national headlines after they

426
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: penned a letter of community support for a Somali immigrant

427
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: who sexually assaulted a twelve year old. Now back in

428
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: twenty four this perpetrator was charged after abducting a twelve

429
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: year old from her backyard, forcing her into his vehicle

430
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 3: and then sexually assaulting her.

431
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 5: He has since been convicted of.

432
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 3: First degree criminal sexual assault. Now after being convicted, his

433
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: family members were sending letters to the judge to ask

434
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: the judge to consider his character when making that sentencing,

435
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: and one of those letters came from the Alis sam

436
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 3: Islamic Center. It was actually signed by their executive director,

437
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: stating that he had to face cultural differences and the

438
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: challenges of taking on a new culture. They also framed

439
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: him as a family oriented man who sends his money,

440
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: oftentimes back to his family members in Somalia. The judge

441
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: actually gave him the lightest sentencing possible. He is only

442
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: going to be serving eight years in jail for this crime.

443
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 3: He was sentenced to twelve years, but those last four

444
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: years are going to be spent out of jail and

445
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 3: on probation. By the way, going back to that point

446
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: about the challenges of a different culture, this perpetrator has

447
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: been in the United States of America since two thousand

448
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: and six, so he's been in the United States for

449
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: nineteen years. He was born in Somalia, but he has

450
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: been here for almost two decades at this point. However,

451
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 3: the culture coming into play when it comes to, as

452
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: the Islamic Center put it, this situation, the situation of

453
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 3: course being came sexually assaulting and abducting a twelve year

454
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: old girl. While this story is not representative of the

455
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: entire Muslim population, many of the Minnesotans I reached out

456
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: to consistently stated that the difference in cultural practices in

457
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: religion have led to difficulties within their state, with headlines

458
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: surrounding Somali gangs, Somali's linked to statewide fraud cases, and

459
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: the continued excuse of the challenges of a new culture

460
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: becoming a more and more common occurrence throughout Minnesota, from

461
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: the name Mohammad hitting the list of one hundred most

462
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: popular baby names in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to the closure

463
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: of a one hundred and nineteen year old bar due

464
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: to the changing culture.

465
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 5: And drinking habits.

466
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: The growing African and Muslim population has continued to make

467
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: its way throughout Minnesota and due to modern day US

468
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: immigration policy looks like it has no plans of slowing down.

469
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 7: But it was it was about then two thousand and six,

470
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 7: two thousand and seven where I noticed that there were

471
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 7: their presence was becoming very prominent and then later we

472
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 7: learned that they were I can't give you exact figures

473
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 7: on what they're getting in terms of handouts and dolls,

474
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 7: but I know I was pretty staggered when I heard

475
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 7: when if it was either a single person or a couple,

476
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 7: it was like twenty five hundred a month, and if

477
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 7: it was a family with kids, they were getting an

478
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 7: automatic like four thy five hundred a month and just

479
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 7: just handouts, you know. And so when they kind of

480
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 7: take over an area like this, it's I mean, it's

481
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 7: not really that surprising that people like to say, oh,

482
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 7: it's their ingenuity and their their work ethic and stuff.

483
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 7: It's not. It's it's handouts.

484
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 23: And anybody can can flourish with that kind of cushioning.

485
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Turning Point tonight. We're together, we're charting

486
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: the course of America's cultural comeback. Hope you enjoyed that harrowing.

487
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: I think harrowing is an appropriate word to use for

488
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: what you probably just watch from Savannah Hernandez in Minnesota.

489
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: Unbelievable footage there.

490
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,440

495
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: exclusive content not seen on this show because it generally

496
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: doesn't have time to fit all of the fascinating things

497
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: we want to talk about in the actual show. So

498

503
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: Point YouTube channel, which of course is I think a

504
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: topic of conversation amongst many people around the country and

505
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,320

Speaker 2: lot of the Turning Points front Lines team, bro Diddle.

513
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them that go.

514
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: Out to these protests and do the work that I

515
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 2: think needs to be done in bringing you what the

516
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: libs actually think in their own words. I know I'm

517
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: missing a few of you frontlines folks, just I believe me.

518
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: We see all of you out there doing the work

519
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: that needs to be done. Monica Page is actually a

520
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: Frontlines reporter as well our Turning Point White House correspondent. Anyways,

521
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 2: we want to highlight all of the stuff that they're doing,

522
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: so we're going to see quite a bit of what

523
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: they have to offer. If you don't already got to

524
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: follow them on social media their ex account, their Instagram page,

525
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: front Lines Turning powered by Turning Point USA, and we're

526
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: just gonna give you a taste of what you can

527
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: find if you go subscribe to all of the Frontlines

528
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: social media accounts. We're going to continue on with the

529
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 2: front lines, which halloweens might be a little bit scary.

530
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Who knows, might be a little scary. We're going to

531
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: continue on the front lines right now.

532
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: Check this out.

533
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 19: Desibrae Krockheimer is a private security guard in downtown Seattle

534
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 19: and protects tech workers and high level executives.

535
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 13: I've even been at union stop.

536
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 19: Stewart Krockheimer and our colleagues are fighting for more pay

537
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 19: and better benefits with the help of the SEIU six

538
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 19: Workers union.

539
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 15: This is an amazing win for the labor movement.

540
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 19: But lately, she's seen concerning signs that s CiU leaders

541
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 19: are more focused on left wing politics and using valuable

542
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 19: union time and resources to participate in this weekend's No

543
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 19: Kings protest.

544
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 13: My union is like a political action group that I'm paying.

545
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 19: Like the one earlier this year. No King's organizers say

546
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 19: it's for free speech and an opportunity to push back

547
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 19: against the Trump administration's policies like illegal immigration enforcement.

548
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 13: Not all of us who are part of the union

549
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 13: are Democrats and support, in my view, this kind of

550
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 13: a radical, manipulative message.

551
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 19: Krockheimer says she's a Republican and approves of President Trump's

552
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 19: job so far.

553
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 13: It's like the union membership itself is a propaganda arm

554
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 13: of the Democratic Party.

555
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 19: And says some of her other colleagues are also bothered

556
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 19: by the overwhelming number of emails in support of No

557
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 19: Kings coming from her left leaning union representatives.

558
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 13: If they're going to do that, fine, but Republicans and

559
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 13: independents should not be required to pay into union dues.

560
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 19: But in a progressive city like Seattle, she says, conservative

561
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 19: workers are feeling pressure to go along with the program

562
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 19: and stay quiet or else face retaliation. Frontlines reached out

563
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 19: to SEIU six about these concerns, but so far no

564
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 19: response reception.

565
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 2: CiU six is not available and since union membership has

566
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: been driven down.

567
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 19: Meanwhile, Aaron With says America's largest unions are now essentially

568
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 19: fronts for far left socialist causes.

569
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 16: Increasing taxes, and then of course gender transitioning no kings.

570
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 19: With is the CEO of the Freedom Foundation. Our job

571
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 19: is to defend the rights of public employees against the

572
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 19: nation's biggest bullies, government unions. His advocacy group's efforts to

573
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 19: dismantle unions over the years and educate workers about their rights.

574
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 5: This is how we take back to.

575
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 19: America triggered an exodus by government workers from their labor groups.

576
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 19: But he says the unions are now and focusing more

577
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 19: on the private sector, like the security industry, but.

578
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 16: Their priorities have not changed.

579
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 19: They want socialism in America, and they'll stop no lengths

580
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 19: to get to that and are key players in funding

581
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 19: and organizing these massive protests. Krockheimer's also worried her union

582
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 19: dues are being used to magnify messaging for fringe communists

583
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 19: and socialist groups that are also expected to participate in

584
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 19: know kings this weekend.

585
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 13: Why isn't the priority the union contract. We are working

586
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 13: without a union contract for now.

587
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 19: She's scheduled to work and has a legitimate excuse to

588
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 19: avoid the demonstration even.

589
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 13: If I wasn't working, There's no way I'm going to

590
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 13: participate in that.

591
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 19: But it's sounding the alarm for others who feel like

592
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 19: they're being used for dangerous left wing causes that could

593
00:29:50,640 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 19: destabilize and hurt the country.

594
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 24: Federal contractors have cleared more than two million tons of

595
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 24: fire debris from nearly ten thousand properties.

596
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: As to an investigation. I feel it as a gross

597
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: and confidence.

598
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 15: There are so many homes and voids on that hill,

599
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 15: and each void is a family's story or history.

600
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 22: It seems that some of our leaders are singing praises

601
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 22: about how quickly things are happening, but that's not how

602
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 22: we feel as residents. This nation exclusively obtained documents that

603
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 22: revealed missteps by officials in California.

604
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 19: Three thousand Palisades victims suing the State of California.

605
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 22: We've paid our taxes, we've done all the right things,

606
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 22: and some more people need to step up and be

607
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 22: held accountable.

608
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 16: And who do you think needs to be held accountable?

609
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 20: I think our leaders?

610
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 25: Good luck right for president when you're out here scamming

611
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 25: fire victims.

612
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 26: Dear Governor, we already have a team and looking and

613
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 26: reimagining La two point oh LA two point oh two

614
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 26: point oh.

615
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 17: Today we are announcing the arrest of twenty nine year

616
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 17: old Jonathan Rendernecked for igniting a fire that ultimately burned

617
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 17: down the Palisades.

618
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 16: Has recent news made sense to you with who they've

619
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 16: apprehended now, Jonathan.

620
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's what's really the whole thing is

621
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: really frustrating.

622
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 16: Because obviously they've determined that the fire started a week earlier.

623
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 15: I'm sad about how it happened. I'm devastated that it

624
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 15: was intentional, but I'm more my anger now is for

625
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 15: kind of the rebuild stuff and how slow some things.

626
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 16: Are moving, how many of their houses are already rebuilt

627
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 16: and how many are still in the process.

628
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 25: Do you think I would say less than a quarter

629
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 25: percent are rebuilt.

630
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 15: People are still not able to get permit. Somebody had

631
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 15: asked me, oh, so you're are you guys rebuilt yet?

632
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 15: And I was like, oh, I guess they don't. They

633
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 15: don't understand. I was like, no, I'm like, lots are empty.

634
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 19: California Senate pass this bill that will allow LA to

635
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 19: buy fire ravaged lots to.

636
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 5: Build low income housing.

637
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 7: Kind of sounds like a land grab to me in

638
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 7: the name of affordable housing.

639
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.

640
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 16: It seems like some of those beautiful property in the world. Yeah,

641
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 16: and they're not rebuilding very quickly on it, and they're

642
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 16: even talking about putting affordable housing and things like that

643
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 16: on there. How do you and your neighbors feel about

644
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 16: all that?

645
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 7: Well, nobody thinks that's a good idea.

646
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 15: They were going to put some like homeless shelter of sorts,

647
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 15: and I was like, are you kidding me?

648
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 7: The second round of fifty million dollar funding.

649
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 25: Guess who took a fire aid cramp.

650
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 5: Let me tell you see, you have to think too hard.

651
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom, Well, look at this.

652
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 25: This looks like a letter to the Attorney General asking

653
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 25: for an investigation into what Newsome and his wife did

654
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 25: with the fire aid one hundred million dollar funds, because

655
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 25: no victims of Palisades or Altadena have seen any of

656
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 25: the money.

657
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 15: Like families could really use financial support right now, Like,

658
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 15: I don't know how many people have actually received money from,

659
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 15: like directly from a nonprofit.

660
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 4: You know, it's nine months after the fire, and you know,

661
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: we're still middle in the middle of a settlement talks

662
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: with our insurance company.

663
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 5: So we were dropped by State Farm. It's very and

664
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 5: we lost a lot of money, along with a lot

665
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 5: of other Kalisadians.

666
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 22: I'm so disappointed. I have friend I grew up in Ohio,

667
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 22: but I have friends that grew up here at one moment, Sweedie,

668
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 22: and they they are so let down, like growing up

669
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 22: here in the Palisades and in Brentwood. They are so

670
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 22: let down and disappointed that this is the state that

671
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 22: California is in.

672
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 15: And they've actually left.

673
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 22: They've moved away already and bought homes elsewhere. Some of

674
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 22: my dearest friends that grew up here, because they're so

675
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 22: over it and they're so upset.

676
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 16: Wow, So how many people do you think left because

677
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 16: of all of these government failures, more than fifty percent.

678
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 22: I'm just basing that on our preschool class. Three children

679
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 22: out of fourteen came back to my kids' preschool.

680
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 15: We've already lost people to moving out of state. We're

681
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 15: already losing people.

682
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 22: Do you miss your home in the Palisades?

683
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 5: Just again?

684
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 22: Maybe not a politically correct statement, but keep praying for us.

685
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 5: We want to come back.

686
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 22: We love our community and we need your support. And

687
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 22: to my friends that live in other states, thank you

688
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 22: for always checking on me and thinking about me and

689
00:34:59,640 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 22: my family.

690
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 4: The epidemic of left wing violence and Antifa inspired terra

691
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 4: has been escalating for nearly a decade.

692
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 19: President Donald Trump's Department of Justice is moving swiftly to

693
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 19: prosecute alleged members of Antifa after he signed an executive

694
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 19: order declaring the militant anti fascist movement a domestic terrorist organization.

695
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: These are agitators, anarchists, and they're.

696
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 19: Paid accused of causing chaos and destruction, especially in American

697
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 19: cities like Seattle and Portland.

698
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 17: They want to overthrow the government.

699
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 19: Stremism researchers like Carlin Borisenko say in order to fully

700
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 19: understand what fuels this decentralized network, and so you're gonna get.

701
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 17: A really inside look at like the agenda of the

702
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 17: far left.

703
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 19: The Bay Area anarchist book fair in Oakland is where

704
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 19: to begin.

705
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 17: A lot of this stuff is about doing illegal stop.

706
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 5: Like we just have to sort of watch our backs hit.

707
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 17: I got a lot of this comes from their publishing

708
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 17: company called Crime Think.

709
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 19: Borisenko and I recently went under cover and discovered a

710
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 19: disturbing world that goes beyond T shirts and New York

711
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 19: Times bestselling authors. Then this one literally says, that's just

712
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 19: actual training martial arts for Randi fascism.

713
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 21: They are a decentralized group.

714
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 5: That's very true.

715
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 17: But it's like this is how they coordinate through the ze, through.

716
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 15: The publications things like that.

717
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 19: Borisenko says, this is where the radical left organizes, recruits

718
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 19: and indoctrinates the next generation of Antifa militants. If I

719
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 19: take this, thank you generously giving away free propaganda material

720
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 19: on how to mobilize for a violent direct action, selling

721
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 19: soccer scarves to fund for an Antifa bail.

722
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 10: Fund, basic folks to get into trouble with.

723
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 7: The government crackdown.

724
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 16: What do you think is going to happen now.

725
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 19: It's a good question and pushing tons of material. We're

726
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 19: bookstort work gallery like these triple X LGBTQ comic books

727
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 19: easily accessible to children.

728
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 5: True.

729
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 19: Then there are the workshops, including a DIY abortion session,

730
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 19: where organizers claim women's reproductive.

731
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: Rights are under attack in America.

732
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 19: I know some of you have heard about our abortion

733
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 19: cards teaching attendees how to make their own morning after

734
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 19: pills through this video.

735
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 7: It can stop since you clear it, and that's all

736
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 7: it takes.

737
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 19: That's easily accessible on YouTube.

738
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 18: First host Left mister pristall is an incredibly safe darge.

739
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: It's safer than tile and all.

740
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 17: Abortion is critical to far left strategies because they believe

741
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 17: it liberates women from being a part of the gender binary.

742
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 17: The gender binary is one of the oppressive mechanisms of capitalism,

743
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 17: and so if they can liberate women from the reproductive

744
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 17: obligations that they have as women to raise kids and

745
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 17: capitalists families and stuff like that, they believe that's a

746
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 17: blow to capitalism.

747
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 19: The all day sessions ended with a panel on organizing

748
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 19: against ice. Representatives from NorCal Resist dressed up as hamas

749
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 19: terrorists in what they're now calling Kafia block instead of

750
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 19: black blocks, since they know federal authorities are scrutinizing Antifa

751
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 19: more than.

752
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 7: Ever they are.

753
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 19: Despite the change in appearance, their goals remained the same.

754
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 19: Declare class warfare, use the latest protest movement to destabilize

755
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 19: the US government, tear down capitalism and anything related to Israel,

756
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 19: then usher in a violent revolution built on socialist and

757
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 19: communist ideals. This playbook is pretty much laid out in

758
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 19: all their materials. Welcome, but most unsettling of all, multiple

759
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 19: vendors embraced teachings from the occult and Satan.

760
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 20: Worship, explicitly anarcho Satanism.

761
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 19: This man altered the Antifa logo and added prongs from

762
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 19: a devil's pitchfork. Satan then asked people to put on

763
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 19: this Lucifer mask and recite their allegiance to the Prince

764
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 19: of Darkness.

765
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 22: Satan, the eternal Rebel, the first freethinker, and the emancipator

766
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 22: of worlds.

767
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 19: The next day, Borisenko and I flew to the Emerald

768
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 19: City to meet citizen journalist Matthew Adams. You can feel

769
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 19: the heat, who's been covering Antifa chaos for several years.

770
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: They're absolutely trying to repeat Frantifa.

771
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 19: We infiltrated the Seattle anarchist book fair hosted by the

772
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 19: Vera Project.

773
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,959
Speaker 15: They want to put our picture up there for being

774
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 15: a fascist, and.

775
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 19: Were immediately greeted by a massive board featuring a so

776
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 19: called wall of fascists. That's us in the photos. Once

777
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 19: we got in wearing disguises, The messaging and the vibe

778
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 19: were pretty much the same as the Oakland book fair,

779
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 19: more far left propaganda, calls for anarchist violence against the

780
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 19: ruling class and hyper sexualized content targeting miners. Or Asenko

781
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 19: even obtained a flyer for an Antifa direct action in

782
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 19: a city park scheduled for Halloween Eve. The family Please,

783
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 19: Adams and I were eventually outed and chased by a

784
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 19: group of angry transgender activists.

785
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: Even with this amazing T shirt.

786
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 19: They know us for these direct actions.

787
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 17: We're going to our Left Bank Books, which is a

788
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 17: far revolutionary bookstore.

789
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 19: Borasenko spent the remainder of her time plotting out the

790
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 19: constellation of bookstores in Seattle that are keeping these ideas alive.

791
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: He knows the direct action fascist anti fashion sales.

792
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 19: With more Americans now realizing the danger posed by Antifa

793
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 19: and their followers.

794
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 17: The rioters that were saying kill ice agents.

795
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 19: Federal authorities are also trying to disrupt the terror group's

796
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 19: funding network.

797
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: We are following the money, but like.

798
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 19: A hydra and cutting off one head will likely sprout

799
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 19: several others.

800
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 13: They are harming everyday citizens in every single one of our.

801
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 19: Communities because Antifa is fueled by an allegiance to extremist ideologies,

802
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 19: not just a bank account.

803
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 17: If law enforcement isn't booking at the bookstores and the

804
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 17: book bears and since then, they're really missing an opportunity

805
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 17: to figure out what these.

806
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 20: Things were doing.

807
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 4: Today. We're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior

808
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like

809
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 4: nobody I've ever seen before, and an American patriot of

810
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 4: the deepest conviction, the finest quality, and the highest caliber,

811
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 4: the late Great Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 4: But it was a horrible, heinous, demonic act of murder.

819
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 4: He was assassinated in the prime of his life for

820
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 4: baldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly

821
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,360

Speaker 17: Thank you very grateful.

830
00:42:54,520 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 27: Charlotte, Excuse me, Charlie always admired your commitment to freedom,

831
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 27: and that's something that both of you shared, So thank you.

832
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 21: The Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded to Kirk solidifies his

833
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 21: legacy and influence on American politics and President Trump's twenty

834
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 21: twenty four victory. But how did the award become the

835
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 21: prestigious honor it is today. Its creation was issued as

836
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 21: an executive order by President Harry S. Truman in nineteen

837
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 21: forty five, as World War II was ending to honor

838
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 21: civilians who performed a meritorious act or service or aid

839
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 21: to the United States or its allies during wartime, but

840
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 21: that was soon modified in a nineteen sixty three executive

841
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 21: order by former President John F. Kennedy, which coined what's

842
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 21: known today as the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the award

843
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 21: given solely by the President to anyone who made an

844
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 21: especially meritorious contribution either to the security or national interest

845
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 21: of the United States, world peace, or cultural, or other

846
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 21: significant public or private endeavors. President Kennedy justifying the honor, saying, quote,

847
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 21: it's clearly appropriate to provide ways to recognize and reward

848
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 21: the work of persons within and without the government who

849
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 21: contributed significantly to the quality of American life. Countless Americans

850
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 21: arguing that that is exactly what Charlie did, as his

851
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 21: legacy and work not only lives on, but continues to grow.

852
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 24: And to the turning point, USA chapters that are watching

853
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 24: all across America right now, you are the heartbeat of

854
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 24: this future and of this movement. Everything that Charlie built,

855
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 24: You guys, are the legacy holders of that, Your living

856
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 24: proof that his mission did not die with him.

857
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: It lives through you.

858
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 21: From the White House for front Lines with Turning Point

859
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 21: Imnica page.

860
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Turning Point tonight. We're together.

861
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: We are charting the course of America's cultural comeback through

862
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 2: the mock grooves, terrible lib ideas and exposing the every

863
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: thing that libs think, which is what Frontlines at Turning

864
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 2: Point USA has been doing the fantastic work over there

865
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: on the Frontline team. I hope you enjoyed the long

866
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: segments which you can find exclusively. Not exclusively, I guess

867
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: because we're playing it here and it wouldn't be exclusive

868
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: to online if we were playing it here, but generally

869
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: speaking all online, the front Line's brand over at Turning

870
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: Point does fantastic work and exposing what libs actually think.

871
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 2: It's not like we're making things up and then throwing

872
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 2: it on TV. It's like, no, this is what these

873
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 2: people think, and the front Line's team at Turning Point

874
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: is doing a fantastic job and exposing them for the

875
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: ideas that they actually hold. Shouldn't be that scary, but

876
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 2: considering it's Halloween, it is kind of scary what some

877
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 2: of these people think. Also, go subscribe to a Turning

878
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: Point YouTube channel. It is a fascinating place where you

879
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: can hear untamed uncensored. Not that that means anything because

880
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: we don't swear on that show either. Takes that are

881
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: that we just don't have time to air on this show.

882
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's fascinating. Generally speaking, it's more of

883
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 2: kind of like off the cuff, but also like longer

884
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: discussions about semi meaningless things that are actually kind of interesting,

885
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 2: if I do say to myself. You can only find

886
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: those at the Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel. It's also

887
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: on the podcast platforms. You can search up my name

888
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: on any of the podcast platforms. It should just pop

889
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: up there if you want to throw on a headphone

890
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 2: while you're mowing the lawn and get the truth sent

891
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: to you via internet whatever it is that your cell

892
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: phone tower takes. There's so much well, okay, there's not

893
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 2: so much more to get to. It is the last

894
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 2: segment on the last day of the week heading into

895
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 2: the weekend. It's Halloween. This has nothing to do with anything,

896
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: but I did think it was the funniest news story

897
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 2: that I think I had come across, and who knows

898
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: how long a truck of monkeys was being transported in

899
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: the state of Mississippi. Those monkeys, the truck, I want

900
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: to say tragically, but that's not exactly accurate, kind of

901
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: hilariously too, overturn and the monkeys were set loose on

902
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: the highway in Mississippi. And because of that hilarious situation,

903
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 2: this hilarious TV broadcast is now a thing that I'm

904
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 2: going to bring to you. Please witness the escape of

905
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 2: the monkeys.

906
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 20: Tonight, the urgent search for dangerous research monkeys that escaped

907
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 20: from the wreckage of a crash on a Mississippi highway.

908
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 20: We got video showing several monkeys crawling in the grass.

909
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 20: Heavily armed officers responding to the scene. Authority say, a

910
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 20: truck carrying nearly two dozen recis monkeys from two Lane

911
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 20: University overturned on Interstate fifty nine in Jasper County.

912
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: Here's one of the monkeys right here.

913
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 9: There's one sitting right there.

914
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 20: At least six monkeys escaping, officials warning they might be

915
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 20: aggressive towards people and were potentially infected with hepatitis se

916
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 20: heurkeys and COVID.

917
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 5: I did the last part.

918
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: By the way, if we let's say these monkeys could

919
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: be very very they also might have hepatitis and COVID,

920
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 2: like what is Fauci.

921
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: Up to now?

922
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 2: Clearly Fauci was the one orchestrating this truck collapse or overturn,

923
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: as he is the one who wants the monkeys to

924
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: be free to spread the Chinese bat fever. Also, by

925
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: the way, I don't want to, you know, dig two

926
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 2: heart into this. But the first guy that they interviewed,

927
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: they couldn't like tell them, hey, man, go ahead and

928
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: swallow the bite of your burger that you have and

929
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: then talk to us.

930
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: It sounded like he was had a face full of food.

931
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: It was just eating.

932
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, the news is on the phone.

933
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: Let me talk to them really quick and talk about

934
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 2: these escaped monkeys. But if you didn't, if you weren't

935
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: scared on this Halloween enough, well you should be. There

936
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: is a possibility then monkeys are on the loose wherever

937
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 2: you live. And those monkeys aren't just monkeys. They could

938
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: be carrying diseases such as hepatitis or COVID. So if

939
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: you see monkey, don't try to engage with it, don't

940
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 2: try and trap it. Don't try and you know, do

941
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 2: whatever it is that people do with monkeys, but definitely

942
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: don't exchange fluids with the monkey. You might end up

943
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: with appatitis. Oh what a way to end a week,

944
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 2: and on a Friday, specifically Halloween. Again, I don't mean

945
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 2: to tear to spark terror in your hearts, but beware

946
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: of the monkeys that are out and about. Actually I

947
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 2: think they've caught all of them up to this point.

948
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: That's gonna do it for us here at Turning Point

949
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 2: tonight for this week, have a great weekend, take some

950
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: time away from the news of the day, spend time

951
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: with your family, because don't worry, the news will be

952
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: back here in full force.

953
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: Just like it is here on Turning Point tonight on Monday.

954
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: We will see you all then. God bless America.
