1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: So Kamala Harris not to be confused with Kamala People

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: get really mad when you pronounce her name wrong. Well,

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: she picked Tim Walls to be her vice president. So

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: who the heck is this guy? Who the heck is

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: this guy who's been the governor of Minnesota since two

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen. Before that, he was in the House

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: of Representatives. What do you need to know about him?

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: We know that his nickname has been tampon Tim at

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: least if you go on X because he supported legislation

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: signed legislation at a law requiring tampons in the boy's bathroom.

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: We know that he's pretty far to the left.

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: He's extremely progressive, crazy off the reservation with allowing Minnesota

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: to be a sanctuary state for child mutilation in the

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: name of transgenderism. We know that he's a radical on abortion,

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: that he totally mishandled the George Floyd riots. I mean,

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: the list goes on and on showing that this man

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: is a disaster. But what do you need to know

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: about him? We're going to have someone on the show

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: who has worked in Minnesota politics for a very long time.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: His name is Dustin greg He.

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Has been tweeting out quite consistently since Tim Wallas was chosen,

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of OPPA research things that you should know

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: about the guy, So I figured who better to have

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: on the show to walk us through who this man is,

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: what you need to know about him. So that's what

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: we're going to do today. He's also the president of

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: honey Hive Agency. It's a full service creative agency. They

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: work with campaigns, causes, and businesses to help them digitally

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: grow and to grow their businesses. So stay tuned for

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: this in depth conversation about Tim Walls with Dustin greg

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: You've been in Minnesota politics for a long time? How

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: long would you say in terms of just.

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've been involved in Minnesota Republican politics since

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: about twenty twelve. It was quite a surprising way how

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: that all started. Basically, I was a youth minister prior

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: and we ended up having a host for one of

37
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: our youth groups, and it ended up that person was

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: ranked for state rep. And from there there's the rest

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: is history. Ended up being her campaign manager, that's Representative

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: Mary O'Neil. And yeah, I've been I've worked for the party,

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: I've worked for numerous candidates, local and statewide, and now

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: I actually run my own political strategic agency here in

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: Minnesota and work on some regional stuff mostly, but yeah,

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: it's all come to the forefront nationally with Tim Walls

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: now being on the ticket with Kamala Harris.

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, I started following you because, you know, I

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: started saying your tweets about Tim Walls and a lot

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: of people have him. You've kind of become a go

49
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: to source for this guy that could potentially be the

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: vice president of the United States. You know, so he's

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: been governor since twenty nineteen. What has happened to the

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 1: state since he took over.

53
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a great question, Lisa and just I

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: think nationally a lot of people just anticipate, oh, Minnesota's

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: a blue state. I mean, traditionally it's actually been one

56
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: of the most purple states in the country. If you

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: look back, we've actually had split legislatures pretty much every year.

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: I think only two in the last century have actually

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: been trifectas. They were trifectas for Democrats, so that we

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: do have to give them that. But more importantly, obviously, Mondale,

61
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: former vice president than presidential candidate against Round Reagan, ended

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: up barely slipping out of this state because you know,

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: he was a hometown guy. So we've kind of gotten

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: this reputation of being like a deep dark blue state,

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: but that's not always been the case, and just kind

66
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: of I guess to describe how that's happened to this point,

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: just quite frankly, we just have a monopoly on elections

68
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: here for the Democrat Party, the d FL is what

69
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: they're actually called here. They go by a different name,

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: Democratic Farmer Labor is their party name. But and how

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: does that happen? I think one of those tweets actually

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: that went viral kind of helped get all this momentum

73
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: started for this anti Tim Walls stuff was Scott Jensen,

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: then candidate against Tim Walls this last cycle in twenty two,

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: was actually having a great interview. He was hammering down

76
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: the talking points perfectly and called out the media here

77
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: for basically carrying the water for Tim Walls and these

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: other candidates that are also on the ticket, and they

79
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: cut his speed right there alive on the spot of

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: the state fair. So adding that as well as this

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 3: is also a state that has contribution limits as another example,

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: so like you can get one big billionaire to donate

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: like crazy to candidates in Texas. Here we have a

84
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: maximum contribution of fifty two hundred for the state wide candidates.

85
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: So that's another reason also why we're at a severe

86
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: disadvantage and a lot of our good talent ends up

87
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: leaving the state while there stays and ultimately long long

88
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: term has just created a monopoly here in the state

89
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: of minnesot in terms of just talent and whatnot to

90
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: actually get that done. And but more recently it's just

91
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: been more difficult in terms of a lot of our

92
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: people leaving. COVID was a significant part of that that

93
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: really brought this state down because instead of staying and

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: finding the good fight, a lot of people, you know,

95
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: chose the right decision for their families and they moved

96
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: to the states like Florida.

97
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: How did you know, how did Governor Walls? How did

98
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: he govern during COVID. I know that he had a

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: snitch line for people to be able to call and

100
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: to you know, tattletale on. It might be one of

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the things he picked up on all of his strips

102
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: to China. But uh, you know, how did he govern?

103
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, as a citizen in Minnesota, you know, walk

104
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: us through a little bit about how he handled COVID.

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: I mean, just quite frankly, he was one of the

106
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: biggest COVID tyrants in the country. One example I like

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: to bring up locally here in my neck of the

108
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: woods in Minnesota is people would rests, bars would have

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: pretty creative ideas out there on how to actually you know,

110
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: work with common sense and you know, get patrons in.

111
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: And one of them was, hey, it's winter and we're

112
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: not allowed to have people inside. But he's allowing only

113
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: up to thirty people outside in the freezing winter in

114
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: December for that matter. So what we're gonna do is,

115
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna tell our patrons to come park your ice

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: house in the parking lot. We can accept up to

117
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: x amount based on our sizing requirements, and we will

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: bring your food out to you, and then you'll be

119
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 3: able to eat with your family in your ice house

120
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: because you're allowed to eat with people in your family

121
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: directly into your household. He initially approved it, and then

122
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: the very next day said, just kidding, we're actually pulling that.

123
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: We're banning you from being able to eat in your

124
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: ice house in this type of scenario. So lots of

125
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: examples like that end up doing the snitch line. Of course,

126
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, also just a lot of inaccurate numbers.

127
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: They would put out a lot of different studies I

128
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: think think one of them was seventy five thousand people

129
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: would die within X amount of time, and it just

130
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: of course didn't come anywhere close to that. The guy

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: even used his executive power to create a two hundred

132
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: and fifty million dollar unbidded so no competition bid for

133
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: COVID testing centers. Normally, with government you have to go

134
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: out there and actually request bids. He didn't actually request

135
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: any bids. He actually went out and just chose the

136
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: company of his choosing. Well, if you look back at

137
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: a lot of the paper reporting on that, coincidentally, his

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: chief his deputy chief of staff had recently just been

139
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: hired at that company. So we also have a lot

140
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: of proof out there in terms of well why is

141
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: he giving out these giant government contracts to his personal

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: friends essentially, So we have a lot of corruption there,

143
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: a lot of just hey, take backs, I promised this,

144
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: but actually it's going to be this. And yeah, he

145
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: was a horrible governor throughout COVID, And there's numerous other examples,

146
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: and I'm sure more will come to my mind throughout

147
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: everything here, but yeah, no, he was a tyrant and

148
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: a lot of people like to mention Gavin Newsom. There's

149
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: a lot of different receipts out there that actually show

150
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: that tim Walls was probably worse. It's just that no

151
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: one cared about Minnesota politics.

152
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Well, and he also faced scrutiny for you know, two

153
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollar COVID fraud scandal in Minnesota,

154
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: and seventy people have been charged in connection with the

155
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: fraud scheme.

156
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: Yes as well.

157
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: Even in addition to that, Lisa tim Walls actually gave

158
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: an award to one of the defendants in that case

159
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: who ended up getting convicted. And the crazy part is

160
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: they gave the DHS tim Walls's DHS gave her an

161
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: award for entrepreneurship and it's still up on DHS's site.

162
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: I'm shocked hasn't been taken down at this point. But

163
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: they awarded someone who was guilty of fraud an entrepreneurship award.

164
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: So it just goes to show how little oversight in

165
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: this entire process has been under his administration. You know,

166
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: how is that going to translate naturally as a VP.

167
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: Well, and one of the scariest things I think about

168
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: him are, you know, some of his social policies, you know,

169
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: exciting legislation to put tampons in the boys' bathroom or

170
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: also making Minnesota a sanctuary state for child mutilation and

171
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: the name of transgenderism. You know, walk us through some

172
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: of these, you know, very radical, very progressive, very left

173
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: wing social policies that he's advocated for.

174
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know a lot of where I like

175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: to start people out with that in just terms of

176
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: how far he's willing to go on some of this stuff.

177
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: So if we actually look at the state House and Senate,

178
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: they're very narrow margins one seat in the Senate, I

179
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: believe it's six in the House, so they're all trifecta Democrat,

180
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: but it's very narrow. So you have to actually get

181
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: these people on board to pass the governor's agenda and

182
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: vice versa. So, but the big one there that I think, actually,

183
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: I don't think you did mention it, but it was abortion.

184
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: They ended up passing the pro Act, which just playing

185
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: no men scene of words. It's abortion on demand from

186
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: birth to forty week from conception. To forty weeks. It's

187
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: all out, no restrictions at all whatsoever. And they actually

188
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: had quite a few Democrats vote against this. I want

189
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: to say about forty six different amendments were brought up

190
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: in an all night debate with Republicans and Democrats on

191
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: the House floor, and as you got closer to the end,

192
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: they would introduce amendments like all right, well, I think

193
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: it ended roughly around this period on the amendments, and

194
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: that's like, well, guys, let's at least cut off at

195
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: thirty eight weeks. Can we all agree on thirty eight

196
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: weeks is a good time to cut that off? You know,

197
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: we've gone through every single point to this point. What

198
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: do you think? And people were voting no or yes

199
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 3: to adopting the amendment, and they actually had the green

200
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: lights initially to actually pass that one, until they didn't

201
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: because some whip in some corner of the DFL caucus

202
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: found out that hey, we're actually don't have the votes

203
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: on this, and they actually had to strong arm one

204
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: of the legislators that was in the slightly safer district

205
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: and that legislator which I'll keep their name off the

206
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: record just so they don't get blown up too much,

207
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: but they were bawling in the back end of the chamber.

208
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: It hasn't been report on who that individual is, but

209
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: it did happen, and they strong armed this woman in

210
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: to actually vote for that proposal. And that just goes

211
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: to show how radical Tim Walls's agendas and to what

212
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: level he'll go to. Even in another instance, we had

213
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: a state senator by the name of Mitchell was her

214
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: last name. She's still present in the legislature, but she's

215
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: gone under scrutinyly recently because she was recently charged with

216
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 3: felony burglary. She actually traveled two to three hours across

217
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: the state to her mother in law's and then ended

218
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: up breaking into that mother in law's home for laptops

219
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: and different devices and was caught on the floor of

220
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: her mother in law's bedroom in the middle of the night.

221
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: And ultimately the DFL caucus and Tim Walls for that matter,

222
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: ended up defending her over in all of the different

223
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: chamber debates. They had an investigation, yeah, and they kept

224
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: her just so they could get those boats through and

225
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: then right as caucus for the session ended, Tim Walls

226
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 3: and everyone then decided to change their mind that she

227
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: actually was guilty. We didn't need due process. We're done

228
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 3: with you now.

229
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Well, he also, you know, removed the requirement to try

230
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: to save babies born alive after abortion. So he's he's

231
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: demonstrated that he is, you know, as radical as it

232
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: gets on the issue of abortion. That's you know, disgusting

233
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: position for him to take. We've got more with Dustin,

234
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: but first, we're quickly approaching the one year anniversary of

235
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: the horrific Commas attacks on Israel, and still the Holy

236
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: Land continues to be attacked on multiple fronts. Deadly threats

237
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: are increasing in northern Israel and constant rocket attacks from

238
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Hesbalala have been fired at Israel, causing widespread damage, with

239
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: raging wildfires destroying precious farmland. Since the war started, the

240
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the

241
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: forefront at Israel, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable.

242
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm partnering with IFCJ today. Your life

243
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: saving donation will help provide emergency food as well as

244
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: critical security needs such as flak jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles,

245
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: bomb shelters and more. We're looking for five hundred listeners

246
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: to join the Fellowship and me by donating one hundred

247
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars to meet those urgent security needs. And

248
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will be matched,

Speaker 1: dot org. Israel needs or support.

255
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: Now.

256
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to get to the George Floyd Riots, which

257
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, really gave you know, Minnesota a bad name.

258
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: You know, Minneapolis a bad name.

259
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: You know, they were some of the most destructive periods

260
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: of civil arrest in history that we have seen. You know,

261
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: Minneapolis in Saint Paul sustained hundreds of millions dollars of damage,

262
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: hundreds of buildings were damaged, and yet Governor Walls let

263
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: it happen. He waited a long time to call in

264
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: the National Guard. How much blame do you put on

265
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: him for the destruction that took place?

266
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: I mean initially in those first days, you kind of

267
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: have to look at the mayor and be like, hey, what's.

268
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: Happening, But didn't your request help?

269
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what I was just about to say.

270
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: Is very quickly after this developed into no, this is

271
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: actually Walls's fault, and mostly to just say it on

272
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: the front end because this is the defense of the Democrats. Well, no,

273
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: it's the mayor's fault. It's not Walls's fault. Well if

274
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: it isn't Walls's fault, how did in Brooklyn Center? Shortly

275
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: after those riots, another set of rights were starting under

276
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: Dante Wright. When he passed from another police engagement with

277
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: pulling someone over. The National Guard was well. Crowds were

278
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: deemed unlawful at eleven thirty pm. Then they requested the

279
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: National Guard. Within thirty minutes, the National Guard was on

280
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: scene and prevented that from going further. Because that's their

281
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: other argument is, well, this is a logistical issue. It

282
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: takes time to actually put them out there and get

283
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: this stuff done. It's not true. It's simply not true.

284
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: I also have family who deployed in that National Guard activation,

285
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: and you know, I've heard all the stories. I can't

286
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: really disclose those individual stories because those are under protection.

287
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: Those conversations are but I can pretty faithfully say that

288
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: the governor failed pretty dramatically on this, and you know

289
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: he's gone on to gas like quite a few people

290
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: on it after.

291
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: It's not just failing, I mean it's he he let it.

292
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: He intentionally let it happen.

293
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's three Minneapolis police officers that have testified

294
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: to the Minuteesota Senate that he gave the order to

295
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: just let the uh, let it go, let it that

296
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: let the third precinct burn, just let it go, give

297
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: it up. So I mean that that's not just that's

298
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: not just falling down on the ground or on the job.

299
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's like eating in a bed. Hang right,

300
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: like you're you're turning this over to you know, the terrorists,

301
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: so to speak.

302
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and quite frankly, I mean you just look at

303
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: the time period when did this all actually occur, which

304
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: you know also goes into his COVID response. Quite frankly,

305
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: they were putting blame on youth sports as an example of,

306
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: you know, massive spreaders, even though later we found out

307
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: actually the riots were a mass spreader, but we wanted

308
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: to hide that as well. But yeah, law enforcement just

309
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: hasn't been treated well. I mean I've had family members

310
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: who were out of those rights, They had cinder blocks

311
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 3: thrown at them. They just weren't equipped to handle that,

312
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: and they would have been on that first night, but

313
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: they didn't actually deploy even state troopers that first night.

314
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: They did absolutely nothing, and that it just emboldened the

315
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: radical left here to actually build on that each and

316
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: every night until we were burning police precincts. And that

317
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: was also just a message. You know, it's an electioneer.

318
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: And you know, this is Donald Trump's fault. It's Donald

319
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: Trump's fault that everything's going to chaos. It's his policies

320
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: when the governors actually run their individual states. I mean,

321
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: was Florida burning during the George Floyd riots. I don't

322
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: think so, you.

323
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: Know, but it's it's disturbing when you look at his

324
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: family as well. You know, his wife once admitted in

325
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: an interview with KTSP that she kept the windows of

326
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: the governor's residents open so that she could smell the

327
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: burning tires and the burning.

328
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: From the riots.

329
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a pretty that's a pretty demonic and

330
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: twisted way to view life and thing to do.

331
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And honestly, the probably even the crazier thing about

332
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: that Lisa is. That video was deleted from the news

333
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 3: network eventually. We're just fortunate to have so many different

334
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: watchdogs here in the state of Minnesota that are Republican

335
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: that actually go, wow, that's weird. Dare I say weird?

336
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: As the governor is coined nationally? Now at this point,

337
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 3: I'm gonna save that video because I think this is

338
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: something here. Because it was deleted. There were several videos

339
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: as well from Caro Levin a local outlet here where

340
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: their hosts were basically saying, this is insane. This is

341
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: the governor said this would be handled, the National Guard

342
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: would be out, but nobody's out here. What's going on.

343
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: That video was also deleted. So it just goes to

344
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: show on that monopoly of Democrats here in the state

345
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: that why do they win. It's because they control every

346
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: single institution in the state. But along lines even of

347
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: the family, which I know a lot of people don't

348
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: like to quote unquote bring the kids into it, but

349
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: I think his daughter.

350
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: Did something she shouldn't have done, well.

351
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: Shouldn't have done, but to bring up kids, you know,

352
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: I don't like to bring up kids into the argument,

353
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: but I think this is just so blatant. But their

354
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 3: daughter actually was tweeting out during the riots and she

355
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: was stating on, hey, everyone, the National Guard actually won't

356
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: be deploying. Basically, Dad is saying that they need time

357
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: to deploy. And you know, you're free to go loot

358
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: and riot target and burn it down as well as

359
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: all these minority owned businesses. You can go free. Nothing's

360
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 3: going to happen. It's just fire sale on everything with

361
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: leftist politics, and sure enough they've followed through with it.

362
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was giving out confidential information that you know

363
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: she had, she was given access to that she shouldn't

364
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: have been, you know, sending out to the public, according

365
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: to a Senate committee report. So, you know, the whole family,

366
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: they seem pretty weird. If you want to talk about weird.

367
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: Why do you think he has spent so much time

368
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: in China?

369
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: You know what? That's actually one thing I recently learned.

370
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know much about the China stuff prior, but

371
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: and honestly, I still have to look more into that myself,

372
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: and I'm actually planning on doing that more tonight here

373
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: as we're gathering more OPO on this whole process. But

374
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: what I found, that's just most interesting about that that

375
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: I found out very quickly is that Tim Walls actually

376
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: went after JD. Vance for going to Yale, which I

377
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: thought was insane. It's like, oh, you're that's not what

378
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: small town people do. That's not what small people are.

379
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: We don't go to harv and Yale and these IVY leagues.

380
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: We don't climb the social ladder. But if you look

381
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: back at that documentation, you know, how did Tim Wall's

382
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 3: end up going to China in the first place. It

383
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: was because of a teaching program hosted through Harvard University,

384
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: So he himself went through an IVY League program to

385
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: be able to do that. But yes, to your point,

386
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 3: it's weird that he kept going back thirty times.

387
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: The New York Times says thirty times.

388
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: I mean that to visit a communist country that is

389
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: an enemy of America, if you want to be honest,

390
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: to visit it thirty times and to spend your honeymoon

391
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: there is very questionable.

392
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's also recently on the record as early

393
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 3: as the last two years that well, China is not

394
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: actually a threat to us. It's just a multicultural country

395
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: that we just don't quite fully understand. But I understand

396
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: it because I've been there so many times, he states,

397
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 3: I think in the interview, and that alone is just

398
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: a massive red flag for me an American citizen, going,

399
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 3: what are the powers in this world out there that

400
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: are actually like a danger and threat to our society here?

401
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: It's China? And you know, going to that point, even

402
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: what are some of the biggest resources we rely on

403
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 3: in this country in terms of China, it's those precious

404
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 3: metals that are used in your electric batteries, in your phones,

405
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 3: in our military industrial equipment that rely on our national security.

406
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: We actually have those things in Minnesota. We have the largest,

407
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: one of the largest surpluses in the world for these

408
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: types of materials. But guess who continues to ban mining

409
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: in this state, Governor Tim Walls. I have to just

410
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: wonder who is he actually have the best interest in.

411
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: Is it this country or to your point, China.

412
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: We've got a quick commercial break more on Tim Walls.

413
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: On the other side, we've seen how China, you know,

414
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: spied on Senator Feinstein for you know, I think it

415
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: was twenty years or something of memory serves me correct.

416
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: We know that they had a spy get to Congressman's

417
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: well well, you know, so to visit a country that

418
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: spies on us for thirty years or for thirty times

419
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: rather really leads one to believe that. And then needlek

420
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: at the Biden family being compromised when it comes to China.

421
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: It's you know, is he compromised when it comes to China?

422
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: And honestly, I mean I have to think on multiple

423
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: of these issues that he has to be. Even there's

424
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: students documented in interviews with MPR here locally in Minnesota,

425
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 3: so NPR, but it's NPR. They've done interviews in two

426
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 3: thousand and six where they talk about, you know, this

427
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: wasn't a normal geography class. We were actually like reading

428
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: excerpts from the Koran as an example. But he's also

429
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: on the record for the last a couple of years

430
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: that he's very again the Ten Commandments being in any

431
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: school system, but he was teaching the Koran school and

432
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 3: he was visiting China. Just it goes a lot of

433
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: people talk about his modern record in Congress, but when

434
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 3: he was a school teacher, he was pushing this stuff

435
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 3: and it's continued to this day. So just the political

436
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: chameleon that he has been through the years, and just

437
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: being who he wants to be on the surface at

438
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: the right times, for the right political reasons to climb

439
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: that ladder. That's what's truly frightening to me, because it's

440
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: very clear, based on his record, based on his time teaching,

441
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 3: that this guy's a radical leftist. But he's able to

442
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: actually camouflage pretty well, and he has to this point

443
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: pretty effectively. He won in a modern district for years.

444
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: He's come up to the point where he's running on

445
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: this radical record and people are still calling him, Well,

446
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 3: he's the folksy midwestern dad we all love, and his

447
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 3: manliness is scaring Republicans. This is the type of stuff

448
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 3: they're running with. And you know, that's why us we

449
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: have to actually push back against this, because otherwise your

450
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: traditional local mainstream media is just going to push their

451
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: narrative instead of ours. And that's why it's so important

452
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: for Lisa and you and I and everyone else to

453
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: actually put out some of the truthful things about his

454
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: record out there.

455
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: Well, and before we go, we've got to be remiss

456
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: if I didn't get this in. Yeah, you know, obviously

457
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: he's being criticized for stolen valor. Yes, he has said

458
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: that he you know, weapons. When he was talking, he

459
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: had a you know, called for gun control. When he

460
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: did so, he said, you know, make sure those weapons

461
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: of war that I carried in war. You know, obviously

462
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: respect people's service to this country, you know, twenty four

463
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: years in the National Guard, but you don't lie about

464
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: your rank. You don't lie about what you did in

465
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: the military. And I've interviewed so many veterans on this show,

466
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: and they are so humble about their record, even people,

467
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, I've better read, people like Sean Parnell who

468
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: Outlaw Platoon, you know, Purple Heart guy, right, like a

469
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: guy who was out in the mountains of Afghanistan for

470
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: a significant period of time, losing friends, and he is

471
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: still so humble of like, oh, I'm not a huge

472
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like these guys are so

473
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: much humility to our veterans. But yet Tim Walls is

474
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: perfectly fine with lying about his title, lying about you know,

475
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: going to war when when he did not, and that

476
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: is to not be respected.

477
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, and least to your point on stolen valor.

478
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: But also just going back to the very start of

479
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 3: his political career, it's not just that that he's you know,

480
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: quote unquote had stolen valor about he's gone on about

481
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: how he was basically a head coach for a state

482
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: championship team. Well, he was the assistant coach that worked

483
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: with the practice squad. He wasn't the coach calling the

484
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 3: plays on the end zone line. He talks about how

485
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 3: he was the teacher of the year, Well it's not

486
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: teacher that year Minnesota, it's regionally he was the teacher

487
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: of the year, and so on so forth. Down to

488
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: this point on stolen valor, every single thing about this

489
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 3: guy's start in politics has pretty much been a complete

490
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: fabrication and pushing the lines wherever he goes. It's only

491
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: been until he's actually been corrected where he's backed up

492
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: a little bit. But we actually even found through some

493
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 3: old news articles when he was challenged on this in

494
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: two thousand and six, they said, hey, this is not

495
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 3: your truthful rank. If we go back to your actual reads,

496
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 3: as you say, you're in nine, but you're an eight

497
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: actually because you never filled these education requirements. What do

498
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: you say about that? And they said, basically, he made

499
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: a correction letter to all of the local newspapers, starting

500
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: with the Mankato Press here locally, and he said command

501
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: sergeant major retired. That's what he used in those correction letters.

502
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: So when he was accused of stolen valor, then he

503
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: still doubled down and said it's command sergeant. And he's

504
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: continued for the last couple of decades doing the same

505
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: thing because, quite frankly, Minnesota media just let him get

506
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: away with it. And that was just the facts of

507
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: the way and how we've gone to this point. But

508
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: now that he's on the national scale, people are questioning

509
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: it's actually going to be sticking now. And you know

510
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: that's quite frankly, what I've heard from Minnesota's is why

511
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: they actually love him being in this VP pick because

512
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: we've known about this. None of this is a secret,

513
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: but the Minnesota mainstream media has just let him get

514
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: away with it. And you know, I'm just thankful for

515
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 3: people like you, Lisa, who are actually wanting to call

516
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: this out and you know, to the point of the podcast, truth,

517
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: this is the truth, and this is what we actually

518
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: have to get out there to voters, and you know,

519
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: so we can actually get Donald Trump back into the

520
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: White House. Yeah, bring sanity to this country again.

521
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Well we need sanity, you know, before we go. You know,

522
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: one is Minnesota winnable? Is it on the table for

523
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign? And then secondly, is there anything else

524
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: you'd like to leave us with before we go?

525
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: And it will be an uphill battle, Lease it will.

526
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: There's no question about that. It's still a tough state

527
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: to win. It's always been a tough state. But it's

528
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: still on the table. There's no question about them. Why

529
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: do I say that, it's when you look back at

530
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: mainly there's been some Republicans here. People remember, probably Michelle

531
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: Bachman and Tim Plenty. They had incredible careers at whatever

532
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: offices they were in, whether it's Congress or governor, and

533
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: they went national vice versa with Amy Kolbashar too, but

534
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: they went national, and Minnesota's for some reason hate it

535
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: when you do that because when they returned to run

536
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: for reelection or they ran for governor again in a primary,

537
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: in Tim Plenty's case, they got crushed, absolutely crushed in

538
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 3: the primary for Tim Plenty. And in Michelle Bachman's case,

539
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: she was in one of the top ten most conservative

540
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: districts in the country. She won by one percent in

541
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: the district. Because there was all this national attention all

542
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: of a sudden on individuals and people didn't like that.

543
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: So this national attention might actually backfire quite a bit

544
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: on Tim Walls because he didn't see this scrutiny and

545
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: now he is, and then hopefully over the next three

546
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: months here Minnesotans can see that because they're actually tuning

547
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: into some of these national outlets and they'll see some

548
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: of that criticism and go, you know what, we did

549
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: burn through twenty billion dollars. My tax bill did go up.

550
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: They did raise the taxes by an additional eight billion

551
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: after burning through that largest surplus in our state's history.

552
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: Maybe they're actually onto something that maybe I have been

553
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: lied to over these years through our local media, and

554
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 3: maybe there actually is something to these attacks on Walls,

555
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 3: and maybe they're true. So I'm hopeful it's still going

556
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: to be an uphill battle, but it's absolutely still on

557
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 3: the table, no question.

558
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: Dustin Greg We appreciate your time today, you know, please

560
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: that we need to know about him. It's important that

561
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: voters know who they're voting for and hopefully voting against

562
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: in his case, this November, so we appreciate it excellently.
