1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Propa hopesome hooks to buy by these Spra countries that

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: brings so much in race and religious, in language and cut.

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: It is a big idea a new world order.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: Well, I know they're lying. They tricked me once, but

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: they're not going to trick me twice. The time is now,

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome back to the Professor Penn Podcast.

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 3: David Pen, your host, glad to be with you as

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: always for episode number two fifty two, coming to you

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: on this Tuesday night, November fourth, seven o'clock pm Central

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: Standard Time. We've moved the start time from seven thirty

11
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: to seven pm, thank you very much. I want to

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: start out with a little house house cleaning or housework

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: or chores. I want everybody to please remember what we're

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: doing here. We're politically motivated. We're building a digital army.

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: The actions on AX. If you're on Facebook, cool, you

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: can build one there where the real action is. And

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: why I say the real action is because we've got

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: a lot of resistance on x X is the place

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: where everybody goes to play in the sandbox. So we're

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: building a digital army. How we do that we follow

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: each other, We repost each other's lengths we stay in

22
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: communication with each other. We have to have a digital army.

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: We understand that Caucus is coming very soon, that's February.

24
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: We want to go to caucus. Now. If you're part

25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: of the national international audience, guess what we're talking about

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: politics in Minnesota as a example of what you can

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: do wherever you live. If you happen to live in Somalia,

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: it works. And you know what, the Somalians they've proved.

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: The Somalis have proved that they know how to make

30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: the political process work in Minneapolis today today, by you

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: know what, Tanner, Tonight, when this posts up, we're recording

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: early in the day, we might know who the new

33
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: mayor is of Minneapolis. It could be good morning, Danna,

34
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: good morning. It could be a socialist, yeah, Omar Fata.

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: We could have a communist as the mayor of the

36
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: financial capital of the world, New York City. That is

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: the preamble, that's subtext for our podcast tonight. You know,

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: we've got some big changes going on. So we're going

39
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: to be urging people throughout this country, regular people, not

40
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: professional politicians, not people that do politics as a job.

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean all of them are bad. There's

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: some good ones, but money is a corrupting influence. I'm

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: asking for people that come wake up. You wake up

44
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: one day like I did. You wake up one day

45
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: and you go, oh, what's that uncomfortable tug? I feel

46
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: in my heart to do something. If you're out there

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: and you feel the poll, you feel the power, if

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: you're anointed to be part of this great historical event

49
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: in human history, which is the battle really between good

50
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: and evil. At least now you can look at it

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: in a lot of different ways. There's a lot of

52
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: different street corners. You could say it's democrats versus Republicans.

53
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: You could say it's globalist versus nationalists. You could say

54
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: it's communists versus patriots. You could say it was good

55
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: versus evil. It depends on your street corner. All those

56
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: descriptions work. But if you are an everyday American citizen

57
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: in Chattanooga, Tennessee, let's just say, and you woke up

58
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: this morning and you had this gnawn and feeling that

59
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: you have to do something. Let me introduce you to today's

60
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: guest representative, Drew Roach, a friend of this podcast. Welcome Drew,

61
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. Drew I've known a long time,

62
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: and Drew and I we like each other. We're not palsies.

63
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: In fact, we've never gone out for a meal. I

64
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: invited you for breakfast. We never did it. But Drew

65
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: was a guy who I met. He was a guy

66
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: like me. He was a guy. And the next thing

67
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: I knew, he was running for the Minnesota House and

68
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: he won. He won. And this guy is just I'm

69
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: not trying to minimize who you are, but you just

70
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: like me. You're just a guy. In fact, you're a guy.

71
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 3: Probably knowing you, you don't have a lot of political

72
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: aspiration beyond helping your neighborhood and doing something for your

73
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: neighbors and doing something for Christ and country. I don't

74
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: see you as a guy that's plotting out a twenty

75
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: year political career. In fact, last time you were on

76
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: to set the stage to let give it to you,

77
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: I think you said something like, hey, if I'm want

78
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 3: and done, I'm standing by my principles. Do you remember

79
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 3: him saying that that'd be a great clip. We should

80
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: dig that of the archives. Yeah, I'm sure I can

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: find it. But my point in saying this to everybody,

82
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: if you want to save country and you want to

83
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: save freedom and even save faith. It's not gonna happen

84
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: with you sitting on the couch at home. It's gonna

85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: be be like Drew, remember that campaign. I want to

86
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: be like Mike. I want to be like I want

87
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: to be like Drew, which is kind of funny.

88
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: Sure, that's funny.

89
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: Anyhow, welcome back to the show. What's up, young man?

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: What's going on?

91
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: Not much? I appreciate. I think that's uh, you give

92
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: me a lot of credit for that. But you know,

93
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: I think it's it's important that you know when especially

94
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: now after you know Charlie Kirk and we see the

95
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: distinct line between good and evil in this country, that

96
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 4: people get activated, they roll up their sleeves, they shut

97
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: off Netflix. Uh, you know, disconnect from the digital world.

98
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: Sort of say that we get caught of caught up

99
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: in every day and have your voice be heard. Participate

100
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: in the caucus process, get behind a candidate that you support,

101
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: you know, whether it be school board, city council, mayor race,

102
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: state representative, US Senate seat. We need to support our candidates.

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: So the good candidates that are really that are willing

104
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 4: to get into the ring in battle right and shine

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: light on the darkness that we all see. It's all

106
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 4: out there and it's just a matter what are we

107
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: going to do about it? Are you going to sit

108
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: there on the couch and wait for somebody else to

109
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 4: fight the battle? Are you going to get in and

110
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 4: fight the battle yourself? And so it's uh, I definitely

111
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: see an uptick of people that are now especially after

112
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: the you know, Charlie Kirk's assassination, They're now have it

113
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: more so than ever. They've got that fire lit and

114
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: they're they're excited, and they're engaged, and they're wanted to

115
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: get out there and put speak truth to power and

116
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: really push back.

117
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: And for the Minnesotans that are watching, because there are

118

00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: I got one precinct in Rosemont, and then as far

00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rosemont, that's the Flint Hills refinery.

Speaker 3: Okay. And then how what is the population of your district? Oh?

133
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: Boy, well, I mean every house district we represent about

134
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: forty three thousand residents.

135
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: Forty three thousand. And is your district? This is kind

136
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: of goofy. But is it blue, red or purple?

137
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: It's red. I want every precinct but one. I lost

138
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 4: one precinct by maybe five fifteen twenty votes.

139
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: Okay, are you going to be starting in that precinct

140
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: and your reelection campaign?

141
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: Oh, they're going to know who I am in this

142
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: precinct in this next election for sure.

143
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: Is this a big geographical area for you? Is it?

144
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: I mean like driving from one to the other.

145
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yeah, it's definitely big. And when you get out

146
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: to you know, some parts of my district is very rural,

147
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: So when you go from house to house, you know,

148
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: it's by no means that are you necessarily walking, right,

149
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: I mean you need ideally I have a side by

150
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: side that I'm cruising around and in some of those

151
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: in some of those rural areas of the district, because

152
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: you know.

153
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: I came down You remember, I came down to an

00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: event your dist He came down to one in Hastings

155
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,360

Speaker 3: and I'm going, wow, Yeah, I hope beautiful, beautiful, but

157
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: it is rural. Yeah. As you know, occasionally I get

158
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: invited to things. I'm not saying that it turned out

159
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: that way. It was a beautiful event. But one time

160
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: I was invited by some Republicans to an event and

161
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: it wasn't an event. It was a back room for

162
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: an ass weapon. So when you get out, that's the

163
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: last time I'm traveling alone. Let me just tell you

164
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that anymore. But you know, the the

165
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 3: the thing is fractious right now. I got a lot

166
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: of a lot of conflict. And I have to say,

167
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 3: Drew Juwe doesn't seem to me. And you can correct

168
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong. I mean, I'm just gonna tell

169
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: you how I look at it. You don't seem one

170
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: to me who shies away from conflict. It seems to

171
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: me that you're running towards the conflict. Do you agree

172
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: with that statement?

173
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I it's I don't even want to

174
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: say that I run towards the conflict. I'm just trying

175
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: to speak truth, you know, and be as transparent as

176
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 4: I can and shine, you know, shine the light on

177
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: the darkness and wherever that lies, you know. And so

178
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: the reality is I've got a set of principles that

179
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 4: I stand by. You know, I'm i'm have some convictions

180
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: that I'm I'm not willing to waver from. And you know,

181
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: if that if that rubs some people off the wrong way,

182
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: will so be it. I think at the end of

183
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: the day, those people that are that that get frustrated

184
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: with my me being so principled, are envious that they're

185
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: not as principled as they should be.

186
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: Maybe in the deep dark of the night, when the

187
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: angel of death comes to take their spirit home or

188
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: wherever they're going, they may regret not having principles at

189
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: that moment, because you know, without principles, what do you

190
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: say to yourself when life is gone and you're still conscious,

191
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: what do you say to your I mean, this is

192
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: the point of religion, right, This is the point of principles.

193
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 3: To live by a set of principles so that our

194
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 3: lives have coherence and meaning. Without coherence and meaning, what

195
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: do you do when you don't have any more options

196
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: but sit there with whooh, I didn't have any principles? Yeah,

197
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: that's Republicanism.

198
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,359
Speaker 4: Well what do I say to my kids when I

199
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: know I decided to get into politics because I wanted

200
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: to stand for something and I want to have principles

201
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 4: and I want to be the change that I want

202
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 4: to see in politics. So how can I look my

203
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: kids in the eye, or my constituents in the eye,

204
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 4: look myself in the mirror if I just rolled over

205
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 4: on those principles.

206
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: No matter where you find.

207
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 4: Corruption, you have to call it out absolutely.

208
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: And why would that be? Because you are a Republican

209
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: In lifestyle Republicanism and we've been covering this a lot

210
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: on the podcast. There's four cornerstones to it, but it's

211
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: really about anti corruption. And I don't mean corruption like money.

212
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: I mean it's anti corruption of the soul, because Republicans

213
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: believe that if we don't live by principles, we become

214
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: corrupted energetically soulfully, which then, of course leads to financial corruption.

215
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: But that's a symptom of a deeper issue. So really,

216
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: what asked me to What drove me to ask you

217
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: back on the show is you've taken a very principled

218
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: stand recently about something which I want to just take

219
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: a minute if you're willing to talk about it, which

220
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: is the Russia concern. You posted up a very truth seeking.

221
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 5: Letter.

222
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: Is that a way? Are you comfortable with me? Should? Yeah,

223
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: go ahead and talk about it. I'm just I think

224
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 3: it's important we bring it on the table.

225
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you know, I know there's colleagues of mine

226
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: that aren't happy with my stance on this, and that's fine.

227
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: They have every right to be upset that I maybe

228
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 4: ruffled some feathers a little bit. But the reality is is, again,

229
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: there are some allegations made on you know, Representative Cretia.

230
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: Whether they're true or not, they need to be brought

231
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: to light and they need to be talked about.

232
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

233
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: This is somebody who controls forty percent of the state

234
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 4: budget as the chair of the Education Finance. And if

235
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 4: the allegations you know on Ron are Representative Kresha are true,

236
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: that's a problem. And when I found out about this,

237
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: I had to wash my hands clean of it, you know,

238
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: my conscience had to come clean. I couldn't know about

239
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 4: allegations and do nothing about it and then actually be

240
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 4: be honest when I'm having conversations with constituents or other

241
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: colleagues in the legislature about calling out fraud and corruption,

242
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 4: because if we're going to stand toe to toe and

243
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 4: side by side and fight corruption, why I need to

244
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: know the people on my side of the aisle are

245
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: are clean and that they're not dabbling in corruption or fraud.

246
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that the accusations against Representative Cretia

247
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: are accurate or true, but I think it's funny that

248
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: instead of talking about the allegations, we talk about the

249
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: person bringing about the accusations. That's your first line, it

250
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 4: should be your first red flag on to realize that

251
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 4: maybe there's some truth to those accusations, maybe there's not.

252
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 4: But when instantly you go after the you start attacking

253
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 4: the person presenting evidence and not the person who is

254
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: being accused, to me, it's a red flag.

255
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: Let me just interject, I was looking for something because

256
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: your letter was very specifically focused, very specifically focused on

257
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: allegations of a paycheck protection program. I don't want to

258
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: call it fraud. I'm not a lawyer. And I don't

259
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: want to say anything. Yeah, just there was some allegations made.

260
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: I don't think they've been adjudicated as of yet. But

261
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: I want to say that before this came up the

262
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: Morris and Connie Republican Party, and if you're you know, nationally,

263
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: this isn't got to happen in your backyard. We got

264
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: a problem in our party what is republicanism? And it's

265
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: even doubled down into now a cleavage over the state

266
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: of Israel. So we got a lot of issues to

267
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: talk through. And you know, what a Republican is matters

268
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: and it's been that concept. What is republicanism? What are

269
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: we doing as Republican Republicans? We don't all have to

270
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: think a lot, or talk alike or support the same things.

271
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: We're politically motivated. We don't agree. That's cool, but the

272
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: basic tenants of the philosophy, man, we got to agree

273
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: on that, and we don't. And because we you know,

274
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: it's a Champagne problem. We have spent since forty six

275
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: living in the lap of luxury here in this country,

276
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: and I mean nineteen forty six, and it's allowed there

277
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: to form up a unique party of interest. I think

278
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: you were just talking about it. Yeah, and you're confronting

279
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: it wherever you see it, and we're going to have

280
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: to confront it because and it's not personal. I don't

281
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: have any I don't know this representative, and I'm not

282
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: here to adjudicate his case or to comment on his

283
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: guilt or innocence. I am commenting that a process of

284
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: discovery seems reasonable because what we're saying is what you're saying,

285
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: and I'm agreeing with you. How do we call out

286
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: the fraud that's going on in this state, which is

287
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: intergalactic level fraud and then we have it in our

288
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: own house and we don't clean up our own house? Correct?

289
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: You can't do that. That would be a hypocritical hypocrites.

290
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. And that's the last thing that I

291
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: want anybody to ever think of me as that I'm

292
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: a hypocrite, right that I stand for party over people.

293
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: Go onto you, you hypocrites.

294
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: You know. I would love to be able to stand,

295
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: you know, arm and arm with every member of my caucus.

296
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: I would love that. This is why I got into politics,

297
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: because I want to change the Republican Party for the better.

298
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: In order to change for the better, we've got to

299
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: take out the rotten apples.

300
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 3: Well Morrison Connie Republicans the BPOU there, they issued a

301
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 3: letter long before any of this came up, and they

302
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: it is the responsibility of the Morrison Coune Republican Party

303
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: to uphold the standards of the organization and to be

304
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: good stewards of the organization. It is crucial that the

305
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: party maintains good standards in order to get voters to

306
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: support our care our candidates. Whereas in twenty twenty one,

307
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: Representative Ron Kresha authored HF twenty four h nine, a

308
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: bill to give five million dollars of taxpayer money to

309
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,360

312
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: point three million dollars of taxpayer money to fund the

00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: Council of lgbtq I eight two s plus, which uses

Speaker 3: that your last trip in. You have a very strong

320
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 3: feeling about that. As a small business owner, I don't

321
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: like to use the word small. My bank's going to

322
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: be in here right after this. When they say I'm

323
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: a small business, it pisses me off because it's everything

324
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 3: to me, staying self governing financially. It's not even about

325
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: the money. It's about being free. And if you're working

326
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: for somebody else, I'm not impugning you. It just gives

327
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: you an idea what an ass I am sure I

328
00:18:54,359 --> 00:19:00,320

340
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: racial quoters of teachers. Whereas Republicans opposed DEI oppose their

341
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 3: tax dollars funding these items. Therefore, be it hereby resolved

342
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: that the Morrison County Republican Party fully and unequivocally condemns

343
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 3: the actions and behavior of Representative Cretia for betray the

344
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: values of Republicans in our country, our district, and our state.

345
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 5: That to me.

346
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: Is what needs to happen. And I'm going to tell

347
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: you why. I don't know Representative Cretia. I don't know

348
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: if he's a professional politician or a guy like you

349
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 3: that came out of the muck and meyer of everyday

350
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: life and said I want to get in on saving

351
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 3: my country. I don't know the man, but we have

352
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 3: a political professional class. You're with them every day. You

353
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: know how they're going to fly right. They're going to

354
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: fly right when the citizens of every district hold their

355
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: elected officials accountable. Now, I really don't care why they

356
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: vote the liberty agenda and for freedom and faith. It

357
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: doesn't matter to me why they do it after all,

358
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: just that they do it. Like every vote, I could

359
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: scrutinize every vote you made, I could criticize some of them,

360
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure, But I'm not in your head. I don't

361
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: know what your game plan is. I don't know what

362
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: your circumstances are. And you just said you come from

363
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: a district that every precinct voted for you except for

364
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: one by a handful of votes, So you're kind of

365
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: in a safe area. The ones that concern me are

366
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 3: the ones that are not in safe areas. These people

367
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 3: scare me because they don't fear me. I'm afraid of them.

368
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: But see, we can change that, and how do we

369
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: do that. Let's talk about your running again for the House.

370
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: You're a year out. Look at the date today, it's

371
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: exactly one year from now, you're facing reelection. I want

372
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: to talk about your strategy and your tactics, your candidates see,

373
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: and what you're going to do in your district. And

374
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: I want everybody to listen to this because what Drew's

375
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: going to tell you is the help he's asking for.

376
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: How he's going to work with his constituents, how he's

377
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: going to organize his precincts, always going to get people

378
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 3: to caucus. Tell people, because you know, we did this

379
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: before you became an esteemed honorable member of the House.

380
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: You were doing this before it was show business. Right,

381
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: how does this work? Tell people, because maybe somebody's out there,

382
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: even if it's one person, Let's say you can move

383
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: one person from entertainment to activism. That's the goal of

384
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 3: the next five to ten minutes of this podcast.

385
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 4: Well, you start off by engaging with your constituents, right,

386
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: I mean I when I ran the first time, I

387
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: spent yeah, hundreds of hours calling, you know, constituents in

388
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: my district, knocking on doors, having conversations and building relationships

389
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 4: with people, letting them know what I stand for. You know,

390
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: there's a lot of politicians that will go and and

391
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: and and want to hear what the people in their

392
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 4: communities say, and then they rebottle with, oh, yeah, that's

393
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: what I am too. And I don't operate that way.

394
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 4: I put it all up the table front. You know, uh,

395
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 4: right away from the principle these are my principles. How

396
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: do I move you towards my principle? Exactly. And that way,

397
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: there's a sense that there's a level of accountability there

398
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: because I've I've I've put a stake in the ground,

399
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 4: and I've built my foundation on the things that I

400
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 4: stand for. And if you align with those, come stand

401
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 4: with me and let me be your voice of the Capitol.

402
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 4: If I don't, then so be it. And and again,

403
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 4: it's just about being who you said you're going to be,

404
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: and I think I proved that. And so you know

405
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna we're gonna hit the ground, run it again.

Speaker 3: I find out stuff online. I don't even get contacted

424
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: because you know, hey, hey, we don't want any political conversation,

00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 3: the world you live in. And I like to tell

Speaker 3: how they think about it down there in Whysetta. They

434
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 3: get a little nervous when they go that direction. They

435
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: like to stay in their own enclave. But my point is,

436
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 3: I'm focused on my precinct. I got ten names of

437
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: people that I'm going to approach every one of them immediately,

438
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: starting this week. I'm gonna call them like you said,

439
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: you built your constituency with hundreds of hours. Yep, I'm

440
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: doing the same thing. And you know what, the only

441
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: thing I'm concerned with W three PB my precinct. I'm

442
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: going to build a political organization just in my precinct.

443
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't need to be the precinct captain.

444
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: I don't even need to be in the party. I

445
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 3: just need to find neighbors that want to work together

446
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: to make our precinct a better place to live. That's it. Like,

447
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: for example, if you're in my precinct and you're in

448
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: my political organization, and let's say your house burns down, hey,

451
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: sick and you need a ride to the hospital, I'm

452

453
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,440

00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,560

455
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,000

456
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: made in your district to actually organize these precincts and

457
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: get people back to caucus or is it so organized

458
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: you have to worry about it.

459
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 4: Well, you want to make sure that the people that

460
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: were out before that were organized are are still motivated

461
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: to come out. So maintaining those relationships with those people,

462
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: making sure that they realize that you're still fighting for them,

463
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 4: that you still stand by what you have stated, you

464
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: stood by in the past, and again just it's about

465
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: building those relationships. And you know, I'm not one of

466
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: those ones that just come out and ask for support

467
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 4: when I needed. I'm always engaging with my constituents all

468
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: the time.

469
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: So you have lists, you have email lists, and you

470
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: have and TX text text.

471
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: Numbers, and through legislative session. When somebody sends me an

472
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: email and they give me a phone number and leave

473
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: that I don't email, I call, I call. I'll spend

474
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 4: hours every day calling people on my that have sent

475
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: me emails concerns, and ninety five percent of the people

476
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: that I call back are absolutely blown away that they're

477
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 4: actually getting a phone call. They cannot believe it. To me,

478
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: that's just crazy to me, the fact that someone took out,

479
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: took their time to send you an email and to

480
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: voice concern about a said issue or praise for something

481
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: that you've done, to not take the same amount of

482
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 4: time and listen. I know a lot of people use emails,

483
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: and that's fine, and that works you responded and engage

484
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: with them. I like to just go a little bit

485
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 4: step further. I like to just continue to build those relationships,

486
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: you know, and I call for my personal cell phone number.

487
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: I don't call from my office number because I want

488
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 4: them to know that I'm here for them day and night,

489
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: twenty four hours a day. If something comes to them

490
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 4: and they need to reach out to me, they can

491
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: reach out to me the same contact, the same phone

492
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: number that my kids and my family reach out to me.

493
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 4: I want them to have access to because again, that's

494
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: the change that I want to see. And so I

495
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: can't not lead that way and expect anything to be

496
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: different in the political wor right. So that that's how

497
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: I operate and just maintaining those relationships. When people have

498
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 4: an issue. When I've got a business owner in my

499
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: community that has, you know, some language of a bill

500
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: that they want to see happen, I make it happen

501
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: and I and I do my best to get those

502
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: committee hearings and push legislation that's going to help my

503
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: local economy, you know, being evolved in the business community,

504
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: showing up to those those events within the community, fundraisers

505
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, you know, and and again just

506
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: being true to who I say I am and not

507
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 4: placating to the administrative or or you know, say the

508
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: political the political ruling class, right the establishment.

509
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 3: And so they don't like you, I presume, yeah.

510
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they don't always like the decisions

511
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: that I make. But I think I would hope at

512
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 4: the very least they realize that I'm not in it

513
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 4: to cause chaos or disruption, but to be consistent. And

514
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: I just I hope that rubs off on other members.

515
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: You have a principle, and in your own world, which

516
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: happens to be the Minnesota House, you're trying to bring

517
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: people towards the principle, not towards you personally, but to

518
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: a set of principles. That's the great thing about principles,

519
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: you know.

520
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: I spent the first session and it's I got attacked

521
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: a lot from members of my own caucus. And I

522
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: won't necessarily name names, but I got a lot. I mean,

523
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: I had one co chair of a committee that I

524
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: sit on, sent a video of me in committee that

525
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: made it look like I wasn't prepared for that meeting

526
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: and sent it to constituents while at the same time

527
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 4: labeling me as a farall that attacks members. I had

528
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 4: members of the caucus start rumors about me that I

529
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: asked for another member to be removed from a committee

530
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 4: so that I could go in their place. That never happened.

531
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of things that were told about

532
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: me and lies told about me, And instead of members

533
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: having conversations with me getting to know who I am

534
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 4: and the principles and values that I stand for, they

535
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 4: believed the lies that were told to them. And I

536
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: think I changed some minds with some of the members

537
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 4: because I was consistent and I consistently stuck to the

538
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 4: values that I that I promised my constituents.

539
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: And those constituents. I want to just state this for

540
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: any if we could get one person in the audience

541
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: of the thousands of people that are going to watch this,

542
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: one person to go from entertainment to activism. The building

543
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 3: block of your activism is peer to peer relationships. That's

544
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: what you formed in your backyard which allowed you to

545
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: contemplate becoming a politic or an elected member of your community.

546
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: I'm I'm accessible, right, I'm not. I'm not better than anybody.

547
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: I'm I you know, I take the saying from there's

548
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: a radio show here at local twin Cities, and you know,

549
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: I'm the common man, right, the best of the lousiest

550
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 4: and the lousiest of the best. I don't pretend to

551
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: be somebody that I'm not. I don't have a political

552
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: science degree. I didn't, you know, put pieces in place

553
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: to set myself up to run for politics.

554
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 5: It just happened.

555
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 4: It just it. God put it in my lap and

556
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 4: put it in my heart to run. And I was

557
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: just pissed off enough to be motivated enough. And I've

558
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: I've always had a chip on my shoulder, right, you know,

559
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 4: I I there's no denying that. I think the stature

560
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: that God created me, had created me to have is

561
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: kind of what. You know, I've always had a chip

562
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: on my shoulder.

563
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 3: That is always very beautiful thing you just said, I

564
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: don't want to just stop. Stop, got stop. That's one

565
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: of the most That is the single most beautiful thing

566
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: I've ever heard anybody say. Coming in here. I mean

567
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: from a spiritual perspective, because what you just said is

568
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 3: God made him a certain way, which when he was

569
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: younger and he didn't understand like he understands now, he

570
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: got a chip on his shoulder like WTF, Come on,

571
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: what are you doing to me?

572
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 4: I've always had to prove myself and that's fine, I think.

573
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: That, but now look what it's done. Because if you

574
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: hadn't had that, you would have never taken this step

575
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: to become a representative of your neighborhood.

576
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: It's it's very possible.

577
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredible to hear you say that. And

578
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: there has to come a point and maybe you're not

579
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: there yet, maybe you will be where you start to

580
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: accept yourself as perfect for his will. Oh absolutely, not

581
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: necessarily for yours, because of course, and we all like

582
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: to be like Mike, you know, you know, but you

583
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: know you're perfect for who you are for the And

584
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: this is what I tell people, you know, I I

585
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: mean Tanner, it's like you you don't know what part

586
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 3: you're playing in the overall plan. You have no clue. No,

587
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 3: you're just playing. I mean, think of Tanner. Tanner's running

588
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: along young man twenty four years old and he finds

589
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: himself at Free People Radio. He's endemical, you know, he's

590
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 3: representative of his generation, the Doomer generation, and he's thinking,

591
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: who is this dude I'm hanging around with. I'm not

592
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 3: too comfortable with this dude.

593
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 7: One of my first takeaways when I was going home

594
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 7: in the first like month or two, I was like,

595
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 7: what is this guy's issue with the British?

596
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: Well, we got to know from whence we came to

597
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: figure out where we are because we have no hope

598
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: of getting out of this mess, and the British are

599
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: still quite important in the whole picture. But that's foreign policy,

600
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: international relations, the globalism, the Great Reset. You know how

601
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: you beat the Great Reset ten a, You know, you

602
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: beat it by hearts and minds in your neighbor in

603
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: my neighborhood, you know, like Kathy Folk, she's the chair

604
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 3: of my local committee, SD forty five. Her husband was

605
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: the CEO of Excel Energy from twenty eleven to twenty

606
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 3: twenty one, and Excel was the first major energy company

607
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 3: that completely decarbonized with of course the support of the Caucus.

608
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: Because you know, that's such good politics, right, particularly if

609
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: you're in forty five, because we're out here in the

610
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 3: western suburbs where climate change is such an important issue.

611
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: And just to let you know, sixth grade, that's me

612
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty eight. My sixth grade report was on air

613
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: pollution in London. So this is not something that just

614
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: popped up. Sure in Tanner's generation, they were working on

615
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 3: this since the sixties. And you know the amount of

616
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: money that got made in the C suite, the management

617
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 3: suite of Excel Energy is hundreds of millions of dollars

618
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: the executives. They decarbonized energy is a big deal in

619
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: your legislative body. I mean, we probably not going to

620
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: have the time to get into it, but let's just

621
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: suffice to say that if the energy problem isn't solved,

622
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: seniors will be freezing to death here very soon. And

623
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 3: if we started building nuclear power plants today, they'd never

624
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: be built in time in this area.

625
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 4: Well, and when you take into account the aggregant amount

626
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 4: of data centers that are being pushed and being proposed,

627
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 4: if those data centers are built under the current policies

628
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 4: of the state, which is the twenty forty carbon Free Initiative,

629
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 4: we're gonna be in a world of hurt and price

630
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 4: energy prices are gonna skyrocket. They already are skyrod at rocking,

631
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 4: rocketing from Minnesotan's but that's going to be you know,

632
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a.

633
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna pale in comparison to what's coming.

634
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and we're gonna have We're gonna have rolling brownouts.

635
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna have blackouts because our grid doesn't have the

636
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 4: input needed for the output.

637
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: And I just watched Julia Coleman last year said that

638
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 3: every member of the Senate Minnesota state Senate Republican Caucus

639
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: supports clean energy. And at the same time, Donald Trump

640
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 3: is calling at the green new scam and the federal administration.

641
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 3: His administration is moving to kick the pins out from

642
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: underneath this whole deal.

643
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 4: Well, if the renewable energy needs, you know, government subsidies

644
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 4: to be relevant, well then it's really not relevant, right,

645
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 4: And we need to get to a point where the

646
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: market dictates, you know, where the what, what energy sources

647
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 4: we want to use. And when you you know, make

648
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 4: the playing field uneven by creating subsidies for some and

649
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 4: excluding others and and actually working against other forms of energy,

650
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: well you're you're creating a false sense of need or

651
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: demand that's really not there.

652
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm breaking it down into politics because of

653
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 3: my local area. Uh you know, if the party are

654
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: party which is full of conflict, I mean we're going

655
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: to talk about that in a minute. Full of conflict

656
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 3: makes major decisions about policy, Like We're not going down

657
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 3: this road anymore. This is undermining the sovereignty of my neighborhood.

658
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 3: Freezing the death kind of undermines me. Freezing to death

659
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: makes me dependent. Okay, I want to be independent. Do

660
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 3: you have a wood burning stove in your house? Do

661
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: you have a generator in your house? Do you have

662
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: warm weather cold weather gear? Clothing can you use? Do

663
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 3: you have food? Are you growing your own food? I mean,

664
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 3: basic questions that makes people sovereign. And then the President says, well,

665
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 3: this thing is a scam. Are we going to hang

666
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: on to that here in Minnesota because we're pandering for votes,

667
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 3: or are we going to in a very full throated way,

668
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: come together as Republicans. This is another one of these

669
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 3: new wedge issues. Of course, energy it pales in comparison

670
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: to the Israel issue. But the party's got significant problems. Okay,

671
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter in your backyard, your backyard's about Drew Roach.

672
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: So you got people on lists that you're in touch

673
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: with by email and text messages, you're calling people, you're

674
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 3: holding local events. Okay, you're going to get people to

675
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: caucus and those people are going to elect each other

676
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: as delegates to your local ten A convention. Oh fifty,

677
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 3: excuse me, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. And then I

678
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: wonder who's intent was afraidiance Tricia, that's right. And then

679
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: we're going to bring these people in and they're going

680
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 3: to go through the system and suddenly they're going to

681
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 3: have the title of, in my opinion, the most powerful

682
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 3: person in the room, a delegate to the Republican Party convention. Yeah.

683
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 4: And the goal is is to connect with people and

684
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 4: help them realize how powerful their voice is. See, so

685
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 4: many people feel I think disenfranchises. Maybe a little extreme,

686
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 4: but I'll use that. They feel disenfranchised. It feel like

687
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: their voice doesn't matter, in part because they've never participated,

688
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 4: so they don't think it matters. So it's engaging with

689
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 4: them and letting them know that the world of politics,

690
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 4: in the caucus process that we have, it's like musical chairs.

691
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 4: There's only so many seats and if you don't sit

692
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 4: in the seat someone else is going to and the

693
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: person that's going to sit in that seat for you

694
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 4: may not have the values that you do. So go

695
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 4: take a seat to the table and have your.

696
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 3: It's almost guaranteed that if you stay home and let

697
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: other people do your work for you, don't be complaining

698
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 3: about the results.

699
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 4: We don't change the world, or we don't change our

700
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 4: local communities by putting by wearing you know, we the

701
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 4: People shirts, or hanging a flag outside your head, going

702
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 4: to Trump boat rallies, or putting a decal on your truck.

703
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: That's all great, and that that that that is contagious

704
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 4: to get people fired up, But it doesn't change anything.

705
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 3: What and what changes things? Tell people? Tell people exactly

706
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: what changes things.

707
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 4: What changes things is people being empowered to be we

708
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 4: the people, to have their voice be heard, to show

709
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 4: up in the caucus.

710
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 3: Republicanism, let me just say the four pillars, the four

711
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 3: pillars of Republicanism. The citizen is the sovereign of their

712
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 3: own life. But as the sovereign of your own life,

713
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: you respect it other people, which we call minority rights.

714
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: You believe in the common good. If you're a Republican,

715
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 3: it's not all about me, me, me, me me. And

716
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: the fourth pillar is you participate in civic life. Now

717
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: that's kind of an infinite thing. There's a lot of

718
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 3: ways to participate, like, for example, if you're in forty

719
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 3: five A, I'm in forty five B, and you're forty

720
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 3: five A, where Andrew Myers is our representative. Andrew just

721
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 3: put out a thing I read. I can't one hundred

722
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 3: percent guarantee it's true, because you know, digital is tricky,

723
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 3: but I think it's true that he said that he

724
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 3: wants to propose legislation using artificial intelligence to tell the

725
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 3: authorities who should and should own a handgunure. This, to

726
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: me is exactly the opposite of republicanism. Employing artificial intelligence

727
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: to make a decision about who's qualified or not own

728
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 3: a firearm. It's kind of an abrogation to the two A.

729
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 3: And of course he's in what they call purple district.

730
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I know.

731
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 3: A bunch of well I don't know a bunch, but

732
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 3: I know there's a bunch behind him. I know some

733
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 3: some cops and ex cops down there in forty five A.

734
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: They don't like this. Well, you know, I say to him, Hey,

735
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 3: if you don't like it, don't complain. Show up at

736
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: all of his events. I mean, you don't necessarily have

737
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: to be a delegate, is what I'm saying. You can

738
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 3: show up an event at his events and ask a

739
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 3: question like is this true? Can you like? I showed

740
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: up at one of his events, and he put up

741
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 3: a picture of himself with end up in County Sheriff

742
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 3: wit on the day that they had up in County

743
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 3: Sheriff's office said we will not be assisting Ice. And

744
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 3: the caption on his social media was I support sheriff

745
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 3: with and everything she does, love working with her. And

746
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 3: I just asked a question, was this some kind of

747
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 3: a dog whistle that you support the hand up and

748
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 3: Conny Sheriff in rejecting cooperation and coordination with Ice? Are

749
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 3: you well? He didn't like that. He didn't like that question.

750
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 3: And I'm not opposed to Andrew being the Republican representative

751
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 3: forty five A. I just want to hold him accountable

752
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: to Republicanism. I want him to fear the Republicans in

753
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 3: his district more than he fears the liberals. Sure, and

754
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 3: that's that's.

755
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 4: And I think that's fair, and I think that that

756
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: comes down to just the people in that in that

757
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 4: community that are conservative just need to be more vocal, right,

758
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 4: And I think members like like Myers, And I'll just

759
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 4: be honest. I like Andrew right and I think, you know,

760
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 4: he's not my representative clearly, but I can understand where

761
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 4: Andrew comes from and some of the in some of

762
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 4: his his takes. I don't always agree with him, but

763
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 4: I can respect his opinion based on the district that

764
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: he has. But I think you're right. I think to

765
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 4: an extent, you know, there are some some representatives that

766
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 4: are are worried about the left and and and you

767
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 4: know just how far they will go and and and

768
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 4: how outspoken they are in comparison to the silent majority

769
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 4: in conservatism. And so sometimes members get caught up in that,

770
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 4: and it's a it's a tough situation.

771
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: Right. Well, I'm just gonna uh in a in a

772
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 3: conversation which Andrew is welcome to come in here. I

773
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 3: mean I'm not saying he would, but Andrew, you're listening,

774
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 3: You're welcome to come in and talk to me. I mean,

775
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: I will respect. I don't not like Andrew. He's a

776
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: likable dude, but you know, when we're starting to talk

777
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: about the financial capital of the world having a communist mayor,

778
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 3: we could wake up tomorrow and we could have a

779
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 3: Democrat socialist mayor of Minneapolis. The Democrat socialists have clearly

780
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 3: taken over the party, the Democrat Party. Hakeem the wise one,

781
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: Jeff he's the House Minority Leader, just endorsed Mondami in

782
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 3: New York this week. And even more shocking, Bill Crystal,

783
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: who was thought at one time when George Bush was

784
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 3: president to be a rock solid Republican neo Conservatives. Father

785
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 3: Irving Crystal started the Neo Cohn movement. He was the

786
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 3: editor and publisher of The Weekly Standard, which for a

787
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 3: long time that was the conservative publication. This guy came

788
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:36,959
Speaker 3: out allegedly a Republican and supported Mondami. So what we're

789
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: doing here now with this kind of politic is we're

790
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: losing the country. And so yes, you know, if the

791
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 3: budget was balanced and we were following the constitution and

792
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 3: every state had a republican form of governance, which is

793
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 3: in our constitution never been challenged, some of these polities

794
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 3: that go over the edge. You know, I would I

795
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: would be Okay, I get it, Andrew, I get it.

796
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: But see. Now I'm going to start advocating for people

797
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: standing up for faith and freedom because the cooperation with

798
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 3: the Democrat, which Julia Coma one time stood me up

799
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: and said, I bet you've never governed. Well, hey, guess what, Julia.

800
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 3: The people you want to be in business with are socialists.

Speaker 5: Okay, tough, tough for me to do, but I'm gonna

814
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 5: try and pull it off. If you see, I don't

815

00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 5: Convenient that I showed up today. I just talked to him.

833
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 5: Out of the four sitting people, people may not like this,

834
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 5: but we're gonna go straight to.

835
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 8: The punch line that out of the fourth sitting US

836
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 8: Congress members, Republican US Congress members, how many do you

837
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 8: think we're willing to endorse me after I won the

838
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 8: nomination and was going to face Amy Cloba Shard in

839
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 8: the general election, one of the most radical and well

840
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 8: funded Democrats in the entire country.

841
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 5: How many zero zero, M zero, Bob I mean?

842
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 8: And that's kind of like the subtext of the entire

843
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 8: American political culture. President Trump, any want you, anybody even

844
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 8: her fan of President Trump, Richmond.

845
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 5: Fifty fifty learn not a lot entusy. The President of

00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 5: the United States saved your country in this nation's darkest dollar. Yeah,

847
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 5: and the twilight of his life.

848
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 6: He could have chosen to do anything else, but instead

849
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 6: he was willing to sacrifice his life, his reputation, and

850
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 6: a bunch of legal law fare in order to give

851
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 6: you a fighting chance. So every time they say that

852
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 6: man's name, I like a little bit more enthusiastic.

853
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, all right, I was terrif. I get it.

854
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful video, Okay.

855
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,480

Speaker 8: Transgender g hottists communists taking over the world's financial capital.

857
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 5: And I asked.

858
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 8: Myself tomorrow morning, we have a similar problem right here

859
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 8: in Minneapolis, too, don't ye. Seems to be a thing.

860
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 8: And I always go back to the same question, I go,

861
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 8: but how did this happen? I mean, ten years ago,

862
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 8: I was playing basketball in silvil As the national you

863
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 8: know tournament, and Big Monday we call it.

864
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 5: Niggains Kentucky twenty five points.

865
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 8: The whole deal not really that involved in politics, not

866
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 8: really that interesting. Understood history, but not deeply involved in politics.

867
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 8: I was more of a variety of duro spoke about

868
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 8: the special interests and lobbysist all the hell of politics.

869
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 5: They're all all paid for it. But I didn't really

870
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 5: want to believe it. Now I kind of know it's true.

871
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a dark reality, especially in this party, and

872
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 8: we have to get comfortable sorting that out. We want

873
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 8: to unify, we want to have a party, but we

874
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 8: have to organize around the right principles.

875
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 5: What did we conserve?

876
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 8: What a communist is going to take over the world's

877
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 8: financial capital?

878
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 5: What did we conserve? We have a problem in this country.

879
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 5: I call it conservative inc.

880
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 8: It's like this Upper East Coast Ivy League country club,

881
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 8: academic Republican or conservative elite.

882
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,880

Speaker 5: I like it.

886
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 8: I get to teach the dam too. Who would know

887
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 8: the dumb job from down to Rondo, Saint Paul knew

888
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 8: a thing or two about political science. Irban Crystal and

889
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 8: you up here Okay, Urban Crystal, I know you don't. Yeah,

890
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 8: Irvin Crystal, intellectual thought leader of the neo conservative movement,

891
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 8: was a former Trotsky. I anybody familiar with Trotsky Communist

892
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 8: Russian Okay.

893
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 5: Now we're getting somewhere. Anybody realized that.

894
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 8: On October thirty first, Irvin Crystal's son, Bill Crystal, m.

895
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 5: Endorsed Zoran mam Donnie.

896
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 8: For mayor of New York City, and he said, I

897
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 8: liked a lot of a lot of these young Democrats.

898
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 5: They're really impressive. I don't know what else.

899
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 8: To tell you when your conservative thought leaders talk about

900
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 8: preserving the Democrat liberal order, and your conservative thought leaders

901
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 8: endorsed some of the most.

902
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 5: Radical candidates in this country's history. I think the problems

903
00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 5: right here in this parliament.

904
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 8: I think we have to sort out what's going on

905
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 8: right here in this room and right here in this state.

906
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 5: And we can't shy away from him.

907
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 9: We had to just we had to just put our

908
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 9: head down as courage like President Trump did coming down

909
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 9: the escalator in twenty sixteen when President Bush endorsed Hillary Clinton.

910
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 8: Let's not forget the history. And I only say it

911
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 8: because I'm faced with the same thing here in the party. Today,

912
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 8: Star Trebune, Minnesota Star, Sible is the last thing, I'll say.

913
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 8: Minnesota Star and Sickle communist newspaper. They endorse communists. Their

914
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 8: owner is a former Republican Minnesota state representative.

915
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 5: Are you seeing the theme? And they have a panel

916
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 5: with Temple.

917
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 8: Anty, Julia Coleman and one of your colleagues and Duckworth

918
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 8: and they say on the record They're glad there's so

919
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 8: many goubernatorial candidates because that means nobody will have to

920
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 8: have broad appeal to the MAGA base.

921
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 5: It's right out there in the old game.

922
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 8: And I'm the extreme un electrical candidate that's right of

923
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 8: the United States.

924
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you Channer. That is uh, how to

925
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 3: off the press. That was just this past evening, Monday night.

926
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,959
Speaker 3: This is Tuesday night, the fourth that was November third.

927
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 3: Drew was even referenced in that clip. Drew, you were there,

928
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 3: and I know that things got a little bit wild

929
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 3: downstream of this, but I played this clip because it states,

930
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 3: I think quite eloquently what's going on in the party.

931
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 3: What Bryce said. I agree with you know people, Professor Penn,

932
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 3: why don't you, why don't you comment on the Democrats

933
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 3: do I have to. They speak for themselves. The problem

934
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 3: is the subterfuge, the trickery, the line, lack of principle

935
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 3: in my own party. And that can change if the

936
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 3: constituents demanded. In fact, in that same forum that Royce

937
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 3: was referring to with Duckworth and Polenty, they actually talked

938
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 3: about a trick that was necessary for Republicans to get

939
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: elected in Minnesota. You're not tricking anybody, No, you just

940
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 3: let here's my principles. I'm putting them on the table.

941
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 3: You love me, great, let's go. You don't love me, Hey,

942
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 3: it's free country. I'm cool with that. You have a principle.

943
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 3: See we're lacking in Well, we're not lacking it. We

944
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 3: have different principles. I don't want to impugne anybody in

945
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 3: saying they're without principles. They have different goals, different principles.

946
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 3: But when we have the thought leaders of the party

947
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 3: endorsing communists, hey, that's problem.

948
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 4: I think it even it's a bigger problem than that,

949
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 4: because you know, there's so many special interest groups or

950
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 4: lobbying groups that some members identify as stakeholders. I push

951
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 4: back on that completely because the only stakeholders are the people.

952
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 4: Special interest groups, in my opinion, are not stakeholders.

953
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 3: Okay, are you saying you have elected representatives that call

954
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 3: themselves stakeholders.

955
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying that representatives identify special interest.

956
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 3: Groups as stakeholders.

957
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 4: As stakeholders, that's very worldly. Economic Forum taught, like, you know,

958
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, Right, I'm just going to

959
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 4: call them out because they say they represent business. But

960
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 4: yet we had an omnibus bill omnibus which has many

961
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 4: provisions in it, and it really didn't have the support

962
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 4: that the chair was expecting that it to have, and

963
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 4: because he was getting pushed back about no votes, they

964
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 4: then leveraged. They tried to get the NRA and the

965
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 4: Chamber to tell them to push members in devoting guests

966
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 4: for it. And what they said is we're urging a

967
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 4: yes vote and we will grade accordingly. Well. First of all,

968
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 4: the na finally got cold feet because there were so

969
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 4: many people that pushed back on it, and they decided

970
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 4: to not grade that bill anymore. The Chamber still stayed

971
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 4: true and graded that bill well. In that bill, we

972
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 4: had surch chargers and fees, not taxes, because of course

973
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 4: we're against raising taxes. But as long as we don't

974
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 4: say taxes, it's not taxes. And so I pushed back

975
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 4: on that, and I and one of the last days

976
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 4: of session, I called out the Chamber because I don't

977
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 4: represent the chamber. Chamber can grade me all they want.

978
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 4: The only people I represent is my district. Right, So

979
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 4: the problem and then we have another organization like the SEIU.

980
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 3: Right, this is an organization, Go ahead, Well, it's it's

981
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 3: the state employees.

982
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 4: Exactly, and and and and and I'm not saying the

983
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 4: problem with them is is that organization again, it's a stakeholder,

984
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 4: and they have endorsed a Democrat Socialist Omar Fate for

985
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 4: mayor of a major metropolitan city in America America. Okay, Now,

986
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 4: for me, it's a problematic when my local party okay,

987
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 4: not local, my BPOU, but when the state party or

988
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 4: the HRCC or Senate victory fund takes any donations from

989
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 4: that organization, you aren't now part of the problem. Because

990
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 4: if if, if there's an organization out there, I don't

991
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 4: care how much money they're willing to give the party

992
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 4: or HRCC or Senate victory fund, if they aren't standing

993
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 4: for the principles that we stand and we turn a

994
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 4: blind eye for money? What are we corrupt? What are

995
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 4: we so.

996
00:58:58,640 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 3: I can't.

997
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 4: In good faith go and try to fundraise from the

998
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 4: HRCC if they're turning a blind eye to an organization

999
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 4: that is endorsing a Democrat socialist for mayor of a

1000
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 4: city that they know it's going to destroy that city.

1001
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 3: That's a clip right there. Okay, because what Drew just

1002
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: did was he drew a line in the sand. And

1003
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 3: there's some very powerful people that you're obviously not going

1004
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 3: to be intimidated by. I mean, I you didn't mention

1005
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 3: his name, so I'm going to let it go. But

1006
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 3: I know who you're talking about. And you know when

1007
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 3: you talk about the chair, what you're saying is quite principled.

1008
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 3: And you know Royce says the same thing about APEC.

1009
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 3: People broadbrush him as being anti Semitic, which is just

1010
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 3: part of the whisper campaign. There's probably one on you too,

1011
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 3: anybody calling the anti semitic. I'm just curious that just

1012
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 3: a joke.

1013
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 4: No, I mean, luckily we don't have to deal with

1014
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 4: you know that that lobby.

1015
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just kidding you. I'm just kidding you.

1016
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:08,479
Speaker 3: But my point is Royce is not anti Semitic. He's

1017
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 3: not willing to give unfettered and unreviewed support to any

1018
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 3: country in the world. And his comment is about the

1019
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 3: American Israel Political Action Committee. One time he said he

1020
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 3: was critical of the Jewish lobby, and he was immediately

1021
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,479
Speaker 3: pilloried as an anti semi win. The most successful lobby

1022
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 3: in Washington, one of the most, if not the most,

1023
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 3: one of the most is the American Israel Political Action

1024
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 3: Committee APAC. And if you go to their landing page.

1025
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 3: Right on that landing page, you got Hakim the Wise one,

1026
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 3: Jeraftrees pictures Hakim the Wise One with Mike Johnson and

1027
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 3: Catherine Clark. Number two with guess who, Tom Emmer. They're

1028
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 3: all there lined up, smiling faces. They're all friends of Israel.

1029
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 3: And Royce is saying, Hey, I'm okay with a lobby,

1030
01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 3: but could we pick a side of the football, because

1031
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: if you're giving money to these democrats socialists, which it is,

1032
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 3: we don't want your money because we're Republicans. Pick us.

1033
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 3: That doesn't make Royce an anti Semite or against unity.

1034
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 3: He wants real and that's what you're saying. It's not

1035
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 3: the same, it's different, but just a little different saying

1036
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 3: the same thing, and all.

1037
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 4: Go a step further. Go please, when we have the MPPOA.

1038
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 3: That MPPOA stands.

1039
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 4: For Minnesota Police and Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association.

1040
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 3: I mean the group that universally throughout Minnesota supported the

1041
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 3: driver's license for all legislation. That group.

1042
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 4: And I want people to understand this because people don't

1043
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 4: understand this fully. The mppo A labels itself as a

1044
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 4: police union. They are not. Okay, they are not. They

1045
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 4: are a lobbying firm hired by the l E, which

1046
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 4: is the actual police union. So the actual police union

1047
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 4: l ELS subcontracts its lobbying to the MPPOA. The MPPOA

1048
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 4: then goes out and identifies itself as a as A

1049
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 4: as A having eight thousand plus union members. But they're

1050
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 4: not their members. They're the members of the l E

1051
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 4: l S. They just speak on behalf of the l ELS.

1052
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 4: But a lot of times they speak out a turn

1053
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 4: because they don't represent the things that the l ELS

1054
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 4: members actually represent. And so they do the same thing

1055
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 4: where they sit there and they tell Republicans, we need

1056
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 4: Republicans to win because Republican Republicans care about law enforcement.

1057
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 4: They support law enforcement. But then when we get to

1058
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 4: the election cycle, they're endorsing some Democrats in very key

1059
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 4: seats throughout both the Senate and the House. I have

1060
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 4: a problem with that. Be consistent. Like if you're gonna

1061
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 4: come and tell the Republican caucus or a large part

1062
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 4: of the caucus that we need Republicans to flip the House,

1063
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 4: and then you support Democrats, I can't take you serious

1064
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 4: because you're inconsistent. Pick a side and stick to it.

1065
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 4: Stand on the principles that you say you stand for.

1066
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 4: Don't play kate, and don't you know yes, because you're

1067
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 4: just trying to buy favor with a member that you

1068
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 4: think might win. I was in a I'm in a

1069
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 4: very red district. My opponent got endorsed by the MPPOA.

1070
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 4: Are you, oh wow, Why this's a seat that's been

1071
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 4: Republican for twenty years. I'm very pro cop very now

1072
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 4: within reason right as long as as long as pro

1073
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 4: police doesn't infringe on my constitutional right. I'm one hundred

1074
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 4: percent behind law enforcement. I don't like flock cameras. I

1075
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 4: don't like the license plate readers that many departments are

1076
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 4: buying that they set up on a street in a

1077
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 4: town and as you drive past that, they're scanning your

1078
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 4: license plate. I don't like that.

1079
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 7: We just had one of those down literally on this

1080
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 7: road that neighbors us right here, and I was keeping

1081
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 7: an eye on and it disappeared.

1082
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 3: It's not there anymore.

1083
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that doesn't mean I'm not That doesn't mean

1084
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 4: I'm anti cop so that, you know, it just means

1085
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 4: that I'm pro liberty, right. I just want to be

1086
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 4: able to travel freely. I'm a sovereign citizen. Now if

1087
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 4: you say that word, and I joke around with some

1088
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 4: members and the caucus, we have fun with it. But

1089
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 4: I think, you know, I.

1090
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 3: Think that's a problem.

1091
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 5: You know.

1092
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 4: I think when there's a law enforcement We had a

1093
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 4: story here right outside of my district where there was

1094
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 4: a law enforcement agency that used a utility vehicle with

1095
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 4: a scissors lift to work on a utility line or

1096
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 4: give the the the the presence that they were doing that,

1097
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 4: but really what they were doing was was taking pictures

1098
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 4: and monitoring people who were on their phone as they

1099
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 4: as they drove. And I think that's a little disingenuous.

1100
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 4: And you know, that type of policing I'm not necessarily for.

1101
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean I don't support law enforcement. I was

1102
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 4: the only member in the House that voted to keep

1103
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 4: law enforcement's long term care. This is the week after

1104
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 4: law enforcement Appreciation Week. We took away long term care

1105
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 4: for law enforcement. You know, this is really pissed off

1106
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 4: retired cops. Oh, they are upset.

1107
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 3: And you know what, this is an issue right here

1108
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 3: in forty five andrew a lot of retired cops down

1109
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 3: there in forty five A. They watched that vote. They

1110
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 3: didn't like the outcome.

1111
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And the problem with it was that it

1112
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 4: was it was in an omnibus pension bill that also

1113
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,479
Speaker 4: had really good provisions for teachers. I mean really good.

1114
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 4: It was a win for teachers, but it came at

1115
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 4: at the loss of law of our law enforcement officers

1116
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 4: and our public safety workers. And that's a problem. We

1117
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 4: shouldn't trade one thing for another. So I was the

1118
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 4: only member that voted against that. And right off the

1119
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 4: get go, I was attacked by some people for being

1120
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 4: anti educators, for being anti teachers. But that's not the reality.

1121
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 4: Give me an opportunity, give you a clean bill, You

1122
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 4: give me an opportunity to vote on a single line item,

1123
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 4: and I'll vote for the teachers. But I'm also going

1124
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 4: to vote for the law enforcement because they deserve to

1125
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 4: have the long term care that they deserve, and they're

1126
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 4: an essential service. And who are we to say previously,

1127
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 4: before that bill passed, if you were a law enforcement

1128
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 4: officer and you got injured on the job, you had

1129
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 4: insurance till you're sixty five. You had faith and protection

1130
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 4: to know that if something happened to you on the job,

1131
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 4: the community was behind you, that they were going to

1132
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 4: cast you off. Now, what they did is they put

1133
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 4: a cap of sixty months. So if you're a law

1134
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 4: for officer and you pull somebody over in Minnesota in

1135
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 4: its winter and you ended up getting hit on the

1136
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 4: side of the road while making a traffic stop, helping

1137
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 4: a you know, a member of the community, change attire

1138
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 4: or whatever it may be, and you get injured, they're

1139
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 4: now saying you got sixty months to get better. I

1140
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 4: think that's a problem. And we can't be serious and

1141
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 4: say that we support law enforcement and then say, well,

1142
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 4: we support you for sixty months and then.

1143
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 3: Figure it out when you're putting your life on them, when.

1144
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 4: You're putting your life on the line. So you know,

1145
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 4: and I was the only in the entire legislature. There

1146
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 4: was only thirteen of us that voted against that, so

1147
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 4: I think it was twelve members, with thirteen members in

1148
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 4: the Senate and just myself in the House. And it

1149
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 4: got sold as a really big win for teachers, and

1150
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 4: it was but at what cost? And that's where you know,

1151
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 4: I know I got a little sidetracked. But you know,

1152
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 4: if there's one thing that we can do as a

1153
01:07:54,200 --> 01:08:00,040
Speaker 4: party that can make things better for our communities and

1154
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 4: for the state, it's to make single subject bills a

1155
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 4: foundation and principle of our party. And until we're serious

1156
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 4: about that, and we're gonna we're gonna continue to talk

1157
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 4: about fraud and corruption, We're not being serious if we're

1158
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 4: going to continue to vote for these large omnibus bills.

1159
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 3: And there is there is an author or someone who

1160
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 3: is exploiting this process at the top of the funnel,

1161
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 3: of course, and there's a lot of lawyers hanging around

1162
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 3: and aids that write legislation. This is not an accident

1163
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,600
Speaker 3: that you're getting these omnibus bills. This is a political strategy.

1164
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 3: Would you agree with that?

1165
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely? You know, we take when we go into a committee,

1166
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 4: we know the agenda for the day we know what

1167
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 4: bills are going to be heard in committee. We by

1168
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 4: and large know what bills have the votes to pass,

1169
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 4: and what don't. Well, what happens is is they make

1170
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 4: deals and they say, well, we're going to hold this

1171
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 4: bill over for possible inclusion and omnipt this bill because

1172
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 4: they know in that day in committee it doesn't have

1173
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 4: the votes to pass. So if a bill doesn't have

1174
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 4: the merit to stand on its own sticking in and

1175
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 4: get this and get five or twelve members to vote

1176
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 4: for it, why the hell would we put it in

1177
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 4: a large packet? Why are we trading it? It's because

1178
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 4: this is where they put grant money. This is where

1179
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 4: they hide the pork, and they put in all these

1180
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 4: bills together and tell your you know, they make a

1181
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 4: sandwich and tell you it's a blooney sandwich and expecting

1182
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 4: not to call it out. And until we demand better

1183
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 4: and expect better. And I hope and pray that in

1184
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, when Republicans come together and we win

1185
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 4: across the state and we get a trifectic control, that

1186
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 4: we we take that principled stand because it's something that we,

1187
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 4: you know, especially on the conservative side, do we want

1188
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 4: more government and we want less government.

1189
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 3: That's a very good question because it depends what Republican

1190
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 3: you talk to. I mean, it's just that simple. If

1191
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 3: you're a.

1192
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 4: True conservative, single line items by default should be part

1193
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 4: of your foundation because we're not in it, at least

1194
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 4: I'm not in it to pass a whole bunch of bills.

1195
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 4: Matter of fact, if I was the chair of a committee,

1196
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 4: I would say, you want to pass a bill, you

1197
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 4: better give me two to repeat. Otherwise we're not passing anything.

1198
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 3: For real. You're making friends today in high places, aren't you.

1199
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a It's a huge ask, right,

1200
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 4: let's limit government. So where can we find bills that

1201
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 4: are either outdated, unuseful laws?

1202
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:43,719
Speaker 6: Laws?

1203
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 3: Yah, for every law we're going to pass, let's retire

1204
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 3: too that are not cracked right exactly. I think that's beautiful.

1205
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 3: I've heard that before. I think that's a great idea.

1206
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 3: I think President Trump talked about that at the federal level.

1207
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 3: But what we're talking about, we're dancing around something here.

1208
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 3: We're talking about people in the caucus that do things

1209
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 3: differently than what you are proposing here. On the podcast tonight,

1210
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 3: and we played that clip from Royce, and I want

1211
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 3: to in the time that's left. You were an eyewitness

1212
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 3: to this, you were a presenter. What happened downstream of

1213
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 3: that clip? I want to hear because I this is

1214
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 3: news for me. I'm looking for your reportage, so to speak.

1215
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 4: Why what happened down clip is?

1216
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 5: Is?

1217
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 4: I think it was in a later question about respecting

1218
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 4: the endorsement, and Royce had called out a number of

1219
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 4: you know, prominent Republicans that after his endorsement in the

1220
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:50,480
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four convention, those prominent individuals did not support

1221
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 4: his endorsement. And one of those individuals that he called

1222
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 4: out was kind.

1223
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 3: Of calls sitting on the stage that night.

1224
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 4: And so it it. You know, there was a a

1225
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 4: little bit of a kerfuffle sort of say between the

1226
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 4: two and it got a little a little rowdy. There

1227
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 4: was some you know, some attendees that got a little

1228
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 4: frustrated with you know, some of the commentary going back

1229
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 4: and forth. So it didn't and how you would maybe

1230
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 4: would have hoped or would have expected, But you know,

1231
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 4: I think it's important conversations to be had. Unfortunately, right,

1232
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the problem is part of it is,

1233
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 4: you know, there are many people on our side of

1234
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 4: the aisle that only want to have conversations that are comfortable.

1235
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 3: Well, that's part of our culture here in Minnesota. It's

1236
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:46,480
Speaker 3: Minnesota nice. If we're going to have any disagreement or conflict,

1237
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 3: we're going to handle it in a very passive aggressive

1238
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 3: kind of way. Yeah. Like I'm watching the emergence of

1239
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 3: Speaker Dumouth into the governor race, and I'm on X

1240
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 3: and I'm watching the figure y Kelly Fanton, who hasn't

1241
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 3: posted anything on X for a year. Of a sudden

1242
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 3: she's popped up. Makes me wonder who's paying her. I

1243
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 3: don't know if you're getting paid, Kelly, and Kelly, you're

1244
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 3: welcome to come on here. But you know, I'm watching

1245
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 3: her subtle undermining of Kristin Robbins, who I've been a

1246
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 3: critic of. I have to tell you, Representative Robins, the

1247
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 3: way they're casting dirt on you, I'm gaining some respect

1248
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 3: for you.

1249
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 4: You know, anybody that they don't like instantly is APHO L. Right,

1250
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 4: Like I came in and because I have a set

1251
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 4: of principles, well I must be a PHO L. He's

1252
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 4: a four L. Listen, I stand with anybody who shares

1253
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 4: my principles at any time anywhere I'm on. I am

1254
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 4: an author on bills that the most extreme Democrat is

1255
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 4: on because if it's on that particular issue.

1256
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 3: You have something that brings you together.

1257
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 4: It's about principle, and it can be item by item,

1258
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 4: subject by subject, you know. And the problem that I

1259
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 4: see is, you know, they'll say, especially on the other

1260
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 4: side of the aisle more so than our side, is

1261
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 4: democrats refuse. There's some that refuse to work with me

1262
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 4: because of my stance on transgenderism, right, because there is

1263
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 4: no transgender child. Let's just put that out there. That's

1264
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 4: that's I'll just say that to piss people off. But

1265
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 4: there's no such thing. But there are people that refuse

1266
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 4: to work with me on a bill that they believe

1267
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 4: in simply because I'm an author on the bill, like

1268
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 4: give me a break, right. I don't agree with with

1269
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 4: Alicia Gomez on ninety nine percent of things, right, but

1270
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 4: when we agree, we agree. And I don't care who

1271
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 4: who stands for those values on any said issue.

1272
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 3: If you have one subject bills that gets let easier doing, well,

1273
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 3: there you.

1274
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 4: Go, right, so you know, when so it just it

1275
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 4: gets a little frustrating when when that you know kind

1276
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 4: of stuff, those charades happened.

1277
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 3: But you said something very you know powerful. You know,

1278
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 3: if the citizens stand up and say, we're not going

1279
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 3: to do this anymore, because the people that run this trick.

1280
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 3: It is a trick, just like Zach Duckworth said, to

1281
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 3: get elected, there's a trick. Like Tim Paul and he said,

1282
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 3: there's a trick. There's a trick. As Royce pointed out,

1283
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 3: if we have enough candidates, we don't really have to

1284
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 3: talk to the base of the party. A trick, trick,

1285
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 3: there's a trick to this legislative process. Some people are

1286
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 3: very good at it. You know, they have constituents. Their

1287
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:44,679
Speaker 3: constituents probably don't understand the game. And you know, everybody

1288
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 3: stands up in front of the crowd and puts on

1289
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 3: a red mega hat and a decal on the back

1290
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 3: of their truck and everybody and you know, these people

1291
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 3: didn't like Trump are just waiting for Trump to go down.

1292
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 3: And these folks are waiting out here and they figured

1293
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 3: they're going to outlast And I don't know even what

1294
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 3: to call this movement, the citizens movement, the sovereign movement,

1295
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:12,799
Speaker 3: the tea Party, the Trump movement, Mega movement, nationalist movement.

1296
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to call it. I don't

1297
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 3: Let's just call it people that stand on principles of

1298
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 3: the philosophy of republicanism. See these people when they're tricky,

1299
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 3: and let's just be frank. We're going to cover this

1300
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 3: on Thursday's podcast. You know, honest, abe, George Washington couldn't

1301
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 3: tell a lie. I mean, those are our icons of Republicanism.

1302
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 3: You know, those are constructed realities. Was George Washington and

1303
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 3: capable of telling a lie? I wasn't there. I do

1304
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 3: not know, but that's his reputation carefully created over hundreds

1305
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 3: of years as the bedrock of Republicanism. Okay, can we

1306
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 3: use those constructed stories to at least a tempt to

1307
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 3: act like Republicans? Like number one, Let's not lie to

1308
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 3: each other, Let's not trick our constituents. Let's not create

1309
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 3: legislation that looks one way and is actually another. Let's

1310
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 3: not wear red mega hats when we're actually Nikki Haley's

1311
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 3: supporters or Mike Pence supporters, of which I know some

1312
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 3: like Alex Pleckish, who served with me on a board,

1313
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 3: was a Mike Pence Republican. Yet we put the picture

1314
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 3: up on the last podcast Tener he was standing up

1315
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 3: on the stage when Royce White got the endorsement, screaming

1316
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 3: and cheering for Royce because he's a politician. You know, Royce,

1317
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 3: he said at the beginning of that thing, Hey, I

1318
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 3: don't look like a politician. I don't dress like a politician.

1319
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't talk like a politician. That'd be like you,

1320
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 3: Drew Roach. You two are like freakin' frack. You're on

1321
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 3: the opposite ends of the extremes, but you're saying you're

1322
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 3: the same but a little different. You don't dress like

1323
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 3: a politician, you don't talk like a politician, you don't

1324
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 3: think like a politician. And people go, oh, this is terrible.

1325
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 3: We need professionals to run the deal, because that's what

1326
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 3: they say. You're not electable. Yeah, you're not qualified, you're

1327
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 3: all fit.

1328
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 4: They say, I can't work with others, can't work with us,

1329
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 4: you can't work with others, can't work with others, I

1330
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 4: can't work with others, or they can't work with me.

1331
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 3: But my point is, when we're electing communists to run

1332
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 3: the financial capital of the country, you know, you folks

1333
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 3: that are professionals have kind of let the cow get

1334
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 3: out of the pasture. I mean that thirty seven trillion

1335
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,560
Speaker 3: dollars a dead what's our budget shortfall here in Minnesota.

1336
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 4: Well, we're looking at a five billion dollar deficit, but

1337
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 4: that's not into a take into account the the soon

1338
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 4: to be largest scam which will probably be personal, family, medically, and.

1339
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 3: As a business owner, and you, as a business owner,

1340
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 3: would you say that that is ripe for potential abuse.

1341
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 4: Oh, it's designed to be abused. That's why they did it.

1342
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 4: They just need they need another piggy bank to pull from.

1343
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 4: All the other piggy banks are running dry.

1344
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 3: Isn't that great? Now? Couldn't have people come out of

1345
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 3: the caucus when we had other legislation that was passed,

1346
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 3: like m Housing for the unhomed don couldn't somebody come

1347
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,680
Speaker 3: out and said, wait a second, I read this legislation.

1348
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 3: It looks like it's ripe to be abused. Did you

1349
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 3: just not say that? Say it one more time, because

1350
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 3: we don't need to be in power as Republicans to

1351
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 3: call up because you're the sheep dog, you're supposed to

1352
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 3: protect your constituents from the wolf, and the wolf talk

1353
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 3: about this this bill just a little one more time.

1354
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 4: Well, so this is I don't have a huge I mean,

1355
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 4: this is not something that we really adjudicated, you know,

1356
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:54,839
Speaker 4: in the last session, right because it had already been passed.

1357
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 4: So I would I would say by a large part,

1358
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 4: it was something that we fought for and fought against.

1359
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 4: But also know that because we were fighting, I should

1360
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 4: say that leadership was fighting to in a caucus as

1361
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 4: a whole, was fighting to you know, take away healthcare

1362
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 4: from illegals, which is a huge, you know line item

1363
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 4: on our on our budget, to to stop that that

1364
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 4: the personal family medical leave was something that just we

1365
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:27,640
Speaker 4: didn't have the ability to move and to repeal and

1366
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 4: do it pushed back. It's something that we I think

1367
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 4: many of members would have loved for us to put

1368
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 4: our heels on the ground and been a little bit

1369
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 4: more defiant in an agreement. We would have been a

1370
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 4: little bit more stronger vocally in you know, willing to

1371
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 4: play the cards on the table for a shutdown to

1372
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:49,759
Speaker 4: at least push back the start of the personal family

1373
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 4: medical leave. We would have liked to have seen that

1374
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 4: post twenty twenty six, right after the election, because it

1375
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 4: would have been able to have we would have been

1376
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 4: able to get those business owners that we're going to

1377
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 4: be dramatically affected by that which is going into effect

1378
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 4: here January first of twenty six. They would have been

1379
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 4: even much more motivated to come out in twenty six

1380
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 4: and have their voice be heard. You know, in the

1381
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 4: midterm elections, it's very difficult to get those low propendencity

1382
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 4: voters to come back out. We don't have Donald Trump

1383
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 4: carrying us in the ballot this year. So what's going

1384
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 4: to carry us is the strong voice conservatives that are

1385
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 4: demanding a change, that are demanding to stop riding the

1386
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,600
Speaker 4: merry go round that the party's been riding for decades.

1387
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 3: And sliding leftward every session. Yeah, since I've been your age. Yeah,

1388
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 3: I mean, if this is not look this is nationally.

1389
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 3: I mean, think about New York City. They're going to

1390
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 3: like the Communists today. I mean, this didn't just happened overnight.

1391
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 3: This has been a thirty year slide. Yeah.

1392
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 4: But you know, Republicans are making waves and we're moving

1393
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 4: the legislative legislature in our direction, and I think if

1394
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 4: we just keep up the momentum, it'll be it'll be

1395
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 4: interesting interesting to see the dynamic and the theater that's

1396
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:14,720
Speaker 4: played in this next session, because that's a lot of

1397
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 4: it is theater specifically now in a policy year and

1398
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 4: not a budget year, there's gonna be lots of sound bites.

1399
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 4: There's gonna be lots of people sounded like champions, and

1400
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 4: for good reason they should. It'll be interesting to see

1401
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 4: just how much some members are willing to stick their

1402
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 4: heels in the ground and stand on the hill that

1403
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 4: they otherwise wouldn't have done because they know we can.

1404
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 4: We need that momentum going into twenty twenty six, right,

1405
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 4: because the voters need to see that we have got

1406
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 4: strong conservatives that are willing to push back against the

1407
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 4: status quo. Right. We're sick of it. I know there's

1408
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 4: there's many members within the Caucus that are frustrated with

1409
01:22:55,360 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 4: our messaging and frustrated with the lack of aggressiveness coming

1410
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 4: from our side of the aisle in getting out in

1411
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 4: front of stories and messaging properly, because we know that

1412
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 4: we need to keep those low propensity voters engaged because

1413
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 4: if they feel like they don't have anybody fighting for them,

1414
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,640
Speaker 4: they're not coming back out in twenty twenty six, and

1415
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 4: we don't have a Trump in the future coming on

1416
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 4: the ballot in twenty twenty eight. That's going to re

1417
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 4: engage them. We may lose them forever.

1418
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 3: Well, you know, this is really what politics to me

1419
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 3: is like, Stepe, there's forty one hundred precincts in Minnesota.

1420
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 3: Here in CD three where I live in SD forty five,

1421
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 3: which is my district. There's nothing going on in the precincts.

1422
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 3: There's no effort. See like, my board does not like

1423
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 3: me and I do not like them. That has nothing

1424
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 3: to do with politics. We're not in this for liking

1425
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 3: each other. We're in this to elect Republicans. I'm one

1426
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 3: of the most fierce advocates and workers for Republicanism in

1427
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 3: the state of Minnesota. I know that. Do they contact me,

1428
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 3: do they ask me to be involved in my precinct?

1429
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 3: Are they asking me what I'm doing? They don't care.

1430
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 3: In fact, they don't want those people to come into

1431
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 3: the process because guess what they're going to vote these

1432
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 3: Mike Penn's Republicans out. And what you're saying is these

1433
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 3: local pency voters, some of them are deeply, deeply political.

1434
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 3: They've just lost the faith in the party. So there's

1435
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 3: two ends to it. One is those strident voices demand

1436
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 3: and change, But where's the effort. And now I'm going

1437
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 3: to urge you in every member that comes on here

1438
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 3: and please send people over here. The members need to

1439
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 3: facilitate the build out of a real party at the

1440
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 3: grassroots level statewide, starting in CD five. You know, twenty

1441
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 3: percent of those voters in CD five. I met with

1442
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 3: the local leader of the black community two weekends ago.

1443
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 3: You know, he said to me, there's no Republicans ever

1444
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 3: come to Minneapolis ever. Yeah, you know, we have to

1445
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 3: start to think out of the box. So you're right,

1446
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 3: we need striding voices, I agree with you that are

1447
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 3: going to stand up for Republicanism. We also need to

1448
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 3: build a cohesive party at the grassroots level, as you've

1449
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:22,719
Speaker 3: done in your backyard. Yeah.

1450
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 4: Well, and so you know Democrats they cater their messaging

1451
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,759
Speaker 4: to suburban white women, right, you could see it now,

1452
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 4: and they're setting the table for that by talking about

1453
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 4: getting rid of military style weapons and large capacity magazine.

1454
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 4: That message is directly two white suburban women. They always

1455
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 4: try to deal with emotion and not facts. So when

1456
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 4: they can pivot and say it's all it's about the kids,

1457
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 4: it's about the safety of the kids. Well, of course,

1458
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 4: everybody wants kids to be safe. Nobody wants to advocate

1459
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 4: for kids getting killed in a school or a church.

1460
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 4: It's absurd to say that I don't care about the

1461
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 4: welfare and the safety of children in school because I'm

1462
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 4: anti taking away for ar fifteens from from law abiding

1463
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 4: citizens is just disingenuous. And and we too, we get

1464
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 4: caught up too much of trying to play Kate and

1465
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 4: match the message from the left to the suburban white

1466
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 4: women instead of reflecting on who is really coming out

1467
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 4: to vote for Republicans. And I think we're going to

1468
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 4: see the largest uptick of males under the age of thirty,

1469
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 4: especially post Charlie kirk assassination, to come to the Republican Party.

1470
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 4: And so what are we going to do as a

1471
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 4: party to reach that base and to get them motivated

1472
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 4: and engaged?

1473
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 5: Right?

1474
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 4: It's prime picking right now for us to be able

1475
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 4: to go in and engage with those those you know, people,

1476
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 4: those the future of the of the party, the future

1477
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 4: of the country that's had enough of the status quo, right,

1478
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 4: And so what are we going to do to engage

1479
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 4: with that and understand that there might be some demographics

1480
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 4: within the voter base that we're just never going to

1481
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 4: be able to engage with enough to have them come

1482
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 4: out and vote for us. And that's okay. Over time,

1483
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 4: hopefully that will happen, but we just can't get caught

1484
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 4: up and trying to placate to that. We just need to,

1485
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 4: you know, find our lane and stick to it. And

1486
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 4: I think, you know, reaching out and connecting with with that,

1487
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 4: you know, under thirty males that are really have been

1488
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 4: motivated and feel the urge to get out. I mean

1489
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 4: we see, you know, post Charlie Kirk assassination, just the

1490
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 4: uptake of TPUSA chapters across the country, both in the

1491
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,600
Speaker 4: both in high schools and colleges, and that's got to

1492
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 4: be reflective. Those aren't liberals.

1493
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 3: I do want to say, Drew, and you might have

1494
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 3: missed this. We had a very prominent poster on Mark Mitchell,

1495
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 3: who is the head poster at Rasmussen, which is a

1496
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 3: pretty well respected polling organization, listening to this market evening

1497
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 3: to you, Mark came out and said that we don't

1498
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 3: want to get caught up in our own press releases

1499
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 3: here that while there is a movement of young people

1500
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 3: into exploring Republicanism. The vast majority of young people are

1501
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,799
Speaker 3: going socialists. We saw that in the comments we posted

1502
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 3: up a bunch of shorts. Yeah uh from Uh. I

1503
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 3: had a podcast with a smiling man on. We talked

1504
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 3: about Mandami and Fataia's Muslim candidates, and I mean I

1505
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 3: read the comments. Whoa, whoa, there is some hardcore support

1506
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 3: for socialism in the young corehort.

1507
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 7: We even got to use the propaganda. They said that

1508
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 7: it was AI generated propaganda to sway people away from socialism.

1509
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,560
Speaker 7: It's wild what some people have been commenting.

1510
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just want to caution the party. Now,

1511
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 3: of course you're right, those voters are young, they're up

1512
01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 3: for grabs. What is the party doing to approach those people? Hey,

1513
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 3: you're pretty young. Yeah, you're pretty young. You're kind of

1514
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 3: on the outside of the power structure. They are the

1515
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 3: power structure. I like to say this has been saying

1516
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 3: it for several years. Average age are you ready four

1517
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two years old? That's the Republican Party

1518
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 3: of Minnesota. And we saw it in that clip where

1519
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 3: I said who supports President Trump? And there was kind

1520
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 3: of a tepid response. People didn't jump out of their

1521
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 3: chairs and scream at the top of their larms. Probably

1522
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 3: because some of the people couldn't jump out of their

1523
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 3: chairs and scream at the top of their larms. That

1524
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they're not important members of our court. It's

1525
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 3: just that if we're going to beat back a group

1526
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 3: of people that are dedicated to ending the republic and

1527
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 3: ending the Constitution, they're radical materialists that do not believe

1528
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 3: in faith at all. We're going to stop these people. Boy,

1529
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 3: it's going to be a different kind of a crew

1530
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 3: that does it. The crew we have right now is

1531
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 3: cooperating with them, facilitating with them, like Julia Coleman said,

1532
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,719
Speaker 3: governing with them. And you see, Julia, I'm not opposed

1533
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:10,440
Speaker 3: to you. I'm trying to move you towards the principle

1534
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,840
Speaker 3: so that we have principles that we agree on. And

1535
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 3: here's a fundamental one. A republican form of governance is

1536
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 3: guaranteed to every state in this Union by the Constitution

1537
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 3: of the United States of America. The concept of republicanism

1538
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:32,000
Speaker 3: as a governance is in our Constitution. It doesn't say

1539
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 3: anything goes, it says you are guaranteed a republican form

1540
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 3: of governance. Let us think about what that means and

1541
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 3: rediscover it. And if you're in the caucus, I'm not

1542
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 3: against any Republicans that act like Republicans. And if you change,

1543
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that. Like I said, if you come

1544
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 3: to the principle because of the pressure of your constituents,

1545
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 3: that's cool. Guess who it's on the constituents. Yeah, it's

1546
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 3: you know, you are a reflection of the people that

1547
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 3: live in your neighborhood. Must be a pretty hard scrabble

1548
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 3: group down there.

1549
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:14,639
Speaker 4: Well, I just to an extent, Yeah, I mean we're

1550
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 4: blue collar, you know, folks in Farmington, you're not. You're

1551
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 4: not going to see too many people walking around in

1552
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 4: suit and tie in Farmington or House District fifty eight B.

1553
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 4: That's for sure.

1554
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 3: I love coming down there for that, for that event.

1555
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 3: I hope you invite me down there again. Yeah, we

1556
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 3: got any events coming up?

1557
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 4: Well, we do have one here where still the works

1558
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 4: of getting that all all all ironed out. We just

1559
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 4: had an event a couple of weeks ago. It was

1560
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:42,440
Speaker 4: a woman shoot around, so Senator Ron Latz at a

1561
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 4: but they had the Senate talks about the gun legislation

1562
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 4: and the working group and in that working group, Senator

1563
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 4: Lats had mentioned that women who carry firearms are more

1564
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 4: likely to have their guns used against them than they

1565
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 4: are actually defend themselves. So I took it upon myself

1566
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 4: to uh team up with a local business owner UH

1567
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:11,640
Speaker 4: in the community and some other people within within the

1568
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,639
Speaker 4: district to get a woman shoot around and to get

1569
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 4: women UH. They offered classes for for the conceal and

1570
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 4: carry permit at a discounted rate for for these ladies.

1571
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 4: So ladies got to come out and get their permit

1572
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 4: to carry, and then we did a full shoot around

1573
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,680
Speaker 4: at a at a farm nearby. It was just it

1574
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 4: was a really good event, right, and empowers women to

1575
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 4: to as well as men, but but specifically in this case,

1576
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:39,759
Speaker 4: empowers women to you know, advocate for their Second Amendment

1577
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 4: rights and learn and feel comfortable in it. And so

1578
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 4: it was nice having an event where women were just

1579
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 4: surrounded by other women.

1580
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:48,240
Speaker 5: You know.

1581
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 4: We heard from a lot of people that sometimes when

1582
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 4: there's when there's a lot of men there, that they

1583
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 4: especially for women that are are just getting into into firearms,

1584
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 4: that they don't feel as confident and as comfortable. So

1585
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 4: we wanted to provide them a space where they could,

1586
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,879
Speaker 4: you know, get used to holding the firearm, educating themselves

1587
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 4: on a firearm and learning how to defend themselves. And

1588
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 4: it was really good, really good event. We had a

1589
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 4: really big turnout and that was the first time we

1590
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 4: put that together and we had such you know, a

1591
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 4: resounding feedback to that that we're looking forward to be

1592
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 4: able to put that on every year. So that's something

1593
01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:28,680
Speaker 4: that we're going to do and it's just going to

1594
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 4: get bigger and bigger and bigger. We put it on

1595
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 4: very last minute, with a couple of weeks of planning,

1596
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 4: and it was just a really good event. So that

1597
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:37,800
Speaker 4: was one of the things. But yeah, we're working on

1598
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 4: ironing out some of.

1599
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,599

Speaker 3: need your help up here in Minnesota. Minnesota is the

1613
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 3: center of ideological leftism worldwide. So if we can take

Speaker 3: E g e t dot com. It's fall. Winter is coming.

1620
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:53,040
Speaker 3: You're gonna need new tires. Hey, In wintertime, new rubber

1621
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 3: is important because you can end up in the ditch

1622
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 3: without it. We got winter tires. We got all season tires.

1623
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 3: All the prices are. We put them on right by

1624
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,920

1626
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 3: contact me at support at tyreget dot com, or they

1627
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 3: put comments in the YouTube, or people are shocked that

1628
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 3: I get back to them, because it's about building a community.

1629
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 3: We're into building a political action community that changes the

1630
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:27,440
Speaker 3: culture of Minnesota. I'm gonna say this again. Our constitution

1631
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:32,639
Speaker 3: guarantees every state a Republican form of government, but that's

1632
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 3: depending on the citizens to realize that's their right and

1633
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 3: their responsibility to conserve. So tyre get go to the

1646
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 3: all of you trad Republicans you don't like my politics, hey,

1647
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 3: you know what you want to unify? Come talk to

1648
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 3: the people that listen to me, because if we turn

1649
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 3: our backs on the citizens that are interested in republicanism

1650
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 3: as a form of governance. Let's just say we turn

1651
01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:45,959
Speaker 3: our back on those people. We don't unify with this audience.

1652
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 3: There's no victory. Yep, we need to unify. But guess what,

1653
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 3: we're holding the principle and we're bringing you to the principle. See,

1654
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,639
Speaker 3: don't talk to us about unify with you over at

1655
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 3: the country club, because guess what. Eighty nine percent of

1656
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,799
Speaker 3: the people in this country don't own any stocks and bonds.

1657
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,600
Speaker 3: They don't have four to oh one case. They're struggling

1658
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:11,679
Speaker 3: to pay their bills, they're struggling to keep their kids

1659
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 3: in braces, they're fighting financially every day. We have to

1660
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 3: relate to those people if we want to win. We

1661
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 3: have to understand what is this party going to be

1662
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 3: post President Trump? And if you all think we're going

1663
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 3: back to the way it was your dreaming, Governor Polenti

1666
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 3: you're getting high, but you must be to think that

1667
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 3: everything that's happened since twenty sixteen is going to go away.

1668
