Speaker 1 (00:00):
The mayor of Minneapolis is don't bother to pray for
the victims of the church school shooting. After all, they
were praying when they were shocked. What we need is action.
Is he repeating the old communist manifesto Montro God is dead,
which is very ironic when you realize that the shooter
(00:21):
had God is Dead written on one of the magazines
for the gun You know, I mean, Wow, six sixty
eight sixty eight. The text number is seven zero four
seven zero nine seven eight says so God is dead.
So now who's to blame? Atheists use the idea God
is dead for more power and control over your life, because,
(00:42):
in my opinion, they want us to plant god. Prayer
is primarily a conversation between you and God for a
deeper relationship and understanding. God is not an atm. I
agree with that, and so I think what you have
here is you have the elected mayor denigrating prayer and
calling for gun control on the same breath while standing
(01:04):
in the parking lot of the church where kids were
killed within hours of him standing there. You know, do
the democrats have no shame? Is that? What is happening here?
Are they literally turning the deaths of children into a
political opportunity. You know, they have already alienated a huge
(01:28):
section of America by ignoring crime and by trying actually
to defend crime against President Trump's crime sweeps in cities
like the District of Columbia. And now they suddenly recognize
crime in Minneapolis, and they're going to use the deaths
of these kids over their pet issue of gun control.
(01:49):
Is that what's happening here? I mean, Schumer came out
within minutes of the shooting, didn't even know what had happened,
and he was screaming for gun control. Amy clobrash Are,
senator from Minnesota, went right out. She was on MSNBC
yesterday morning talking about a national band on assault weapons
talking about the school shooting. So, I mean they let
(02:13):
and here you have the mayor of Minneapolis, the guy
who's supposed to represent these families, saying, don't bother to pray,
we need action within minutes of this happening. You know,
God is dead and we need gun control. That's what
I heard? Is that what you heard as well? Jan
in New Hampshire, Welcome to w RKO. How are you, Jan?
(02:38):
Jan Hi?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'm fine, You're doing a great job. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
So I'm going to say something a little different.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So I am a Republican, I am a Catholic car
carrying Catholics. Sure, and my rosary in hand, Jan.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Can I stop you? Are you on a speakerphone?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I have here our move so I have to speak
into my thomb.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes, okay, because it's very you have an echo, so
it's kind of hard to hear you. So could you
speak right up to the speaker and see if that
makes a difference.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Sure, okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That's a little bit better.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Okay. So what I'm asking for is prayers to the children,
grace and mercy to all those people that need it,
and also prayers that these people find God. We really
(03:38):
need to pray for that because somewhere along the way
they have lost touch with reality and that's where he
is and he's loved. The other thing is prayer for
a solution to mental health. And I don't think guns
are the issue. I'm I'm a pold and that's about it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And mercy, well, I appreciate those are lovely thoughts and
I appreciate them Jan very much, but I don't think
they've lost God, jan I think they jettisoned him. Do
you think maybe you think I'm being too harsh, But
I think that they that they deliberately walked away from
God for political expediency. They I think that Texter before
(04:24):
has their finger on it. This is about having political control.
And when you want political control, you don't want to
fight someone else for that, And that can be another
political party, but it can also be God. You don't
want to fight God for authority over other people. You
want them to look to you. And I think that
(04:45):
is what's motivating this and what motivated that appalling comment.
Don't bother to pray, but I think you are are
incredibly kind, and I join you in your prayers for
grace and mercy for those poor families in Minneapolis. Thank
you very much for the call. I appreciate it very much.
Let's go to Jim and Waltham. Jim, Welcome to WRKO.
(05:05):
Do you think I'm being too harsh?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Hi? Yeah? I mean, who doesn't like religion? Communists? And
I think we have to start saying it. I've heard
you say it a few times and I appreciate that.
I get progressive liberals a lot of these democrats in
control are communists, and we have to face it, and
we have to start saying it because they won't. They're
(05:33):
not calling themselves communists. No, I don't know for sure,
but I'm pretty sure that this mayor of Minneapolis is
probably a communist. And yeah, he wants to progress. He
wants to push the communist agenda forward. That's more important
than a couple of dead kids. They act like they
care about dead kids. They don't. They care about moving
(05:56):
their communist agenda forward. The reason they want to take
away guns is because we're us gun owners. Good people
in America will stand up and stop the revolution.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
They did.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You know that one of the things in regard to
gun control, one of the in the manifesto, the shooter's manifesto.
One of the things in there was that he had
chosen the church as as the perfect place for the shootout.
He was going to hurt children. He was trying to
decide whether to do it on the playground, whether to
do it someplace else, But he picked the church because
(06:35):
it was a no gun zone. That was actually written
in his manifesto. So the fact that he knew there
would be no guns there is why he chose that
particular venue as opposed to the playground because he knew
there was nobody there who could shoot back. And you know,
to the whole issue of gun control. No, sometimes gun
(06:59):
free zone can be a magnet for tragedy as opposed
to an area where somebody might be afraid that somebody
would be armed and be able to take them out.
They're looking for sitting ducks, and so they go to
the to the gun free zone. Just you know, in
case you didn't know that, Jim, I just thought i'd
let you know I agree with you about this being
(07:21):
a communist a communist issue, But I also want to
point out that arose by any other name, Progressives are
the new communists. Six one seven two six six six
eight six'. Eight this Is Sandy. Shack this is The kuna.
Report the mayor Of minneapolis wants no prayers for the
victims of the school. Shooting he wants gun. Control we
(07:45):
know this because that's what he said before the broken
Glass was he even swept up from the stained glass
windows at The Annunciation church after the. Shooting is is
this what progressives stand?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
For?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Now god is dead and we're coming for your? Guns
is that the platform that they're putting out. There you,
KNOW i heard more about gun control yesterday on cable
news THAN i did about mental illness and the mayor's
appalling comments about. Prayer AT, abc Their White house Correspondent
(08:23):
Mary bruce called, out are you Ready President trump for
not throwing the weight and have to his office into
addressing mass? Shootings cut four oh, three Please mike.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
From Those democratic members Of congress calls again for more gun.
Reforms of, course we have said this far too. Often
there simply is not the political will in this, town
and there hasn't been for some time now to take
meaningful action on gun. Reforms President trump casts himself as
a tough on crime president right now In, washington D.
C member of The National guard here on the, street
(09:02):
the administration has taken significant steps to take control of
The Metropolitan Police department, here but he has not so
far thrown really the weight and the heft of his
administration behind doing something to meaningfully address this epidemic in this.
Country AND i, think as we've been, saying it is
the horrific reality in this country that every single parent
(09:22):
has to worry about school, shootings especially this time of,
year when every parent holds their child's hand and walks
them to school for the first. Day they wonder will
they be? Safe is my child coming?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Home?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah and then she went, on by the way, too
it's just. ENOUGH i can't take it. Anymore but then
she went on to echo those comments From Jacob, fry
Mayor Jacob, fry you, know rejecting the calls for thoughts and.
Prayers so it's not just you, Know Mayor, fry it's others,
too you, know calling for gun control and Blaming trump
(09:55):
for the. Shooting you, know never mind the fact that
the shooter had Killed trump written on one of his. Magazines,
basically they're blaming him for. That over AT cnn they
got on the same. Bandwagon but also they outright lied
about the weapons used in the. Attack this IS Cnn
Senior justice Correspondent Evan perez inaccurately claiming that the semi
(10:19):
automatic firearms could fire dozens of bullets with a single
pull of the trigger while doing a report on The minneapolis.
Shooting that's cut forty, no cut four to. One i'm
sorry for.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
One it was really disturbing to hear what the man
we heard from from the affiliate said about how long
it went, On he said there were several. Minutes now
we don't know if that was just from the shooter
or law enforcement had arrived by, then or the circumstances around,
that but he said it sounded like the gun was
reloaded several. Times it seemed like a, rifle he, said
(10:53):
a semi automatic, rifle and it went on for several, minutes.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Right and that's an uncommon as. Well things can shoot
dozens of, bullets you, know in just one trigger, pull,
Right and so what happens in this case is sometimes
they have enough time to. Reload it's one of the
most horrific things for students to be sitting. There you
saw this In, uvalde you see this in New town,
repeatedly where a shooter has enough time to. Reload and
(11:21):
the horrific nature of this, is you, know for little
kids to be facing this.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
So much to think.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
About, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That is complete and utter boulder. Dash what happened, There it,
was that's not what. Happened it's not a what was
incorrectly termed as an assault weapon is a semi automatic
firearm that fires just one bullet with each pull of the.
Trigger and that's, see it's different from a fully automatic,
(11:51):
firearm which is a machine gun which continues to shoot
until the trigger is. Released and if you go and
look and on the nri's website are numerous. Websites there's
a lot of websites that will tell you the difference
between the semi automatic and an automatic. Weapon under current federal,
law it is illegal to possess a fully automatic firearm
that is not registered under the provisions of The National Firearms.
(12:14):
Act if you can go to THE nra to find
out all about this, stuff that was it was not
an automatic weapon that was. Used i'm not saying there
was anything good about what this guy, did but he
just gave a completely inaccurate picture of the weapons in
his zeal to make a case for banning the guns
that were used at the. Shooting, now you may find
(12:34):
other reasons to ban those, guns and we can have
a discussion on banning. Guns but that was a lie
that he just gave on the. Air i'm just, saying
isn't the truth bad enough on its own that you
can make your arguments from the existing true. Facts you
have to make stuff. Up AND i guess the answer is,
yeah they need to. Wait they need to make you
know things. Up so that's what The democrats are. Doing
(12:58):
that's what they're water carrying cable news news outlets are.
Doing do you think that this is helping them gain
supporters by lying about, things by denigrating, prayer by you,
know standing in the shadow of a church within hours
of a school shooting and calling for an abolition of
(13:19):
The Second? Amendment do you think this is winning them
friends and influencing. PEOPLE i think they're misjudging Most. Americans
what do you, Think rich And?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Natick?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Rich, Yes i'm, Here, okay what do you? Think?
Speaker 11 (13:37):
UH i think the social media has helped Expose?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Rich can you pick up your phone, please there's a
bad echo because it's on. Speaker, no, no it's not, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Hold, on hold.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
On, yeah that's. Better that's much. Better thank, You.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Rich in the middle of doing something, Work, yeah to
pay for, it, well thanks to people on. Welfare exactly.
Right but, yeah the one of your previous callers mentioned
the ultimate goal here is take away guns from, society
(14:20):
and it's through this plan by manipulating. Children right by the,
way who are the easiest people to manipulate in society
because their children and they don't know, better and they
put down a. List and these are just some things
THAT i believe that contribute to the culture. Rot you,
know the acronym, diagnosis you, know giving kids drugs while
(14:41):
they're growing, up you, know they alter their brain chemistry
to talk of, talk the toxic masculinity that started twenty years,
ago the lack of discipline in the, home the, bullying
the anti social MEDIA i call, it teachers telling kids
not to tell their parents about, transitioning removing religion and family,
structure and it could probably go on and. On but
(15:04):
all these things. Contribute but this Isn't this is an
evil agenda under The Democrat party and probably others to
undermine and try and. Remove, god look at look at
this guy talking about need more gun. Control this stuff
didn't happen WHEN i was growing. Up i'm almost sixty years.
Old this stuff wasn't happening WHEN i was growing, up
(15:26):
you know, What so what has? Changed that's the big.
Question what has changed over the. Years and some of
those THINGS i just listed.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Have.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Changed you, KNOW i.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
THINK i agree with you know what you were, Saying
BUT i think it's more than just take away. GUNS
i think it's takeaway guns and take Away. God that's
WHAT i heard. YESTERDAY i heard both of those things under.
Attack do you Think i'm misreading the.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Situation, WELL i mentioned that is remove religion and family.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Structure so they say it's about.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Control it's about control the.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
End, yeah all of the.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Above if you're in power and you want to keep that,
power who's a threat to?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You men and?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
GUNS i think who's a threat to you is anybody
who can be a competing. Authority SO i think you're.
Right you want to you want to take away people's,
freedoms and that includes The Second, amendment includes The First
amendment To so that's why you, know whenever you would
say something that people didn't like, you you have the
whole uh cancel culture. Movement you've got to stop people
(16:31):
from saying things you don't. Like you got to take
away the. Guns you got to take Away. God you
got to take, away as you, said the family structure
because that gives people support and power as. Well so
we had to take all those things away so that
you have the nanny. State you rely upon the state for,
everything and that's where the ultimate party. Is AND i
think that's what we saw exposed yesterday is the movement toward,
(16:52):
that the progressive movement toward, that And i've found it
frightening first of all that somebody would use A catholic
school shooting and two not mention that it's a hate
crime Against catholics against. Religion, instead instead of mentioning that
that's a hate, crime actually make that hate crime worse
(17:13):
by doing your own little attack against religion while basically
pretending that that you're on the side of the, angels
no pun. INTENDED i think that's WHAT i, saw WHICH
i found really. Reprehensible how about, You.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Rich, ultimately it's a fight against good against.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Evil, yeah that's what it boils down.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
To.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
THINK i think it's becoming. THAT i don't think it
was always, that BUT i think it's fast becoming. That
thank you so, Much, RICH i appreciate the. Call let's
go To david In. Haveral, david how are.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
You i'm doing, Well, sandy first time, caller AND i
really enjoy listening to.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You, oh thank.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
You so you know my cake is, that, yes the
politicians are going to flip it however it benefits. Them
but in, reality these kids that are taking these hormones
to change themselves before their brains are fully. Developed you
(18:18):
know that is a. PROBLEM i don't believe that we
should allow them to make that. DECISION i think your kids.
Speaker 13 (18:27):
Naturally go through hormonal changes when they're in their, teens
and then compound that with allowing them to make that
own decision before their brain is fully developed at twenty
one to get more hormone.
Speaker 12 (18:44):
Shots which send them into a. RAGE i just don't
think that that should.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Have Been i'm, Sorry, david we have to hold you
there because you're up against a. Heardbreak the mayor Of
minneapolis wants you to believe we need more gun control
and prayers are not. Needed are you? Aghast do you
think Most americans are aghast?
Speaker 10 (19:06):
At?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That is The democrat party clubbing itself over the head
with comments like. This do you think they're they're winning
friends by coming out against? Prayer prayers? Useless after, all
the mayor, says these kids were shot while. Praying you,
know we don't need your, Prayers we need. Action were
you offended by that, comment Because lord knows no pun
(19:28):
intended there. EITHER i. Was let's speak To bob In Fall. River,
bob welcome to W. Rko how are you?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hell?
Speaker 14 (19:34):
Hello it's actually very good to talk with. You you,
KNOW i was mentioned To, Mike i'm really disheartened by,
this And i'll tell you. Why for, one you, know
what does that mayor believe that someone like saying myself
In Fall, river who's a long long Standing, catholic is
(19:56):
going to. Do i'm not going to be able to
fly over To minneapolis and clear off stained glass pieces
off the. Ground i'm not going to be able to
go and change legislation over. There only people like him.
Can and with, that And i'm choosing my words very,
carefully So i'll just say he's an sob for saying
(20:18):
something like. That but If, trump If trump came out
today and, said, WELL i want to send a small
contingent of The National Guards minneapolis just to kind of
clear things over for the next week or, two what
do you think he would? Say he would say hell,
no because the reason is he wants it done his
way and what his way obviously isn't working. Right AND
(20:40):
i just and WHAT i find so disheartening is that
his words were parroted like on message boards all over
the internet. Yesterday oh what the?
Speaker 11 (20:51):
Hell good or, thoughts some? Prayers and if you say
anything Like, hey you, know it's just it's kind of
my way of, saying you, KNOW i hope that those
children find some slace or the parents find some. Solace
it's trying to, say, hey we're here with, you and
for him to kind of just, denigrate like like essentially
(21:11):
it's a real as slap in the face to The.
Catholics but it's just you're, right it is religion in.
General BUT i think, that, like it's just so it's
disheartening because you, know up up until, YESTERDAY i really
always was, like you, know, what things will work, out
things will work. Out but WHEN i start to look
at how how half of the people WHO i read
(21:36):
on these message boards online we're essentially in agreement with,
them AND i was, like you, KNOW i think that
we're at a. POINT i, mean you know how a
lot of times we say The democrats and The, republicans
there isn't that. Much there's not much of a middle ground,
anymore and it's shrinking, rapidly. RIGHT i don't think that
(21:57):
a lot of them are ever going to change their,
mind and they're going to reasons to, say, oh, yeah
well it's the. Guns, no it's it is that person
yesterday was just a. Sicko and the fact that he
comes out against like prayer and, Stuff, well the person
who wasn't praying is the person who shot people, up
not the people who were actually in the, church the
(22:19):
person who had no cares for religion in. General maybe
he should say something along those, lines but you know
that that won't, occur.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
No because it doesn't fit the party. Line that's why it.
Doesn't you, know they don't want religion to be important to.
People they don't want people to use religion as a
means of support and solace and. Power they want they
want to be the only source of. Power so they
(22:50):
have to denigrate something that's in competition with, that and
that would Be. God you, know they don't want people
turning To god or seeing any authority that higher than they.
ARE i think that's part of what we saw, yesterday
and like, YOU i found it. FRIGHTENING i was, like
oh my, god you, know is it a public and
(23:13):
an elected official at the scene of a horrible shooting
just Told america don't. Pray we don't we don't need your.
Prayers we need at we need gun. Control literally turned
the deaths of children that died within an hour of
him standing there basically, said you know, us use their,
(23:34):
deaths use their spilled blood for. THIS i was completely,
horrified AND i was racking my brain, saying how could
a human being do? That and the only ANSWER i
have is, that you, know it's harkening back in my
education to what it was like In Soviet russia after
The Russian, revolution and that's what they. Did they got
(23:55):
rid of churches because churches were a competing, authority and
so they you, know got is. Dead and that's WHAT
i heard. Yesterday so you put it very very, well
AND i really appreciate. It thank you so much for the, Call.
BOB i don't think that The democrats really want any
friends yesterday with what they were, saying AND i don't
think they can stop hurting. Themselves you, know they misrepresenting
(24:18):
a shooting situation to scare to to score, POINTS i
mean as a political, issue you, know hiding who the shooter, was,
not calling it a hate, crime denigrating, prayer added church
A catholic school church shooting where people were murdered while,
praying you, know and let's not forget how The democrats
(24:41):
have put themselves in a position where they've been defending
criminals and ranting against law enforcement After President trump has
sent you, Know National guard to aid and assist the
law enforcement In, washington D. C send like they've utterly
panicked Over President trump's success in fighting crime and are
(25:07):
using a school shooting to try to put themselves on
the side of law and order after being against it four.
Weeks is that a particularly jaded view of What i'm
looking at? Here or do you Think i'm? RIGHT i, mean,
seriously they've been going on and on about you, know oh,
(25:28):
no we can't have we can't fight the crime IN
dc With National. Guard that's, bad that's. Bad this is
this is an attack against. Democracy he's a, dictator this is,
fascist it's. Racist you can't do any of. That and
so they've been actually arguing on the side of the
criminals for. Weeks the school shooting, happens and all of a,
sudden we're law and. Order we need gun control and
(25:48):
just for good, measure let's throw in the no prayer.
THING i, mean was this? Panic was this trying to
save themselves after weeks of looking like bloody? Idiots is
that what's going on? HERE i, mean they have been
looking like nuts don't you. THINK i, mean it's it's.
Been in, fact it was AT Jd VANCE i think
(26:13):
when he was when he was At Union station the
end of last. Week they he was basically, saying The
democrats have been acting freaking crazy and that's their big.
PROBLEM i THINK i have that. Cut i'm just. Looking,
yeah here it is cut TO a ONE a, Please.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Mike The democrats really can't help. Themselves if you look
at the transgender, issue they're still talking, about letting you,
know men playing women's. Sports if you look at the crime,
issue they're Calling Donald trump a fascist for taking action
that in nine days has dropped armed robberies by fifty five.
Percent so part of sounding less crazy is being less.
(26:56):
Crazy and if The democrats were less, CRAZY i think
we'd all get along a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Better, yeah they've been acting, crazy and, so you, know
because they've been supporting, crime literally supporting crime IN. Dc you,
KNOW i, mean have you seen any of have you
seen any of? That but they've been doing. So all
of a, sudden the school shooting, happens and it's like they, think,
oh you know, what we can be on the side
(27:21):
of law and order and we're going to call for
gun control because that's all about law and. Order and
but it backfired on them, because first of, all they
did it standing in pools of blood from children who
had just been. Shot and at the same time they
couldn't help. Themselves they simultaneously did it in the form
of The minneapolis mayor called for you, know denigrated prayer
(27:42):
at the same time they were calling for a, quote
law and. ORDER i think in, THIS i think this
was an attempt to resurrect themselves from the waste basket
of political political, relevance and instead IT'S i think it's
backfired on. THEM i think it's backfired on them. Spectacularly
bob And. Raynham welcome TO. Wrko how are, You bob, Hey.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Shandy, Yes i'd like to say, that not THAT i
agree with the. MAYOR i, mean the guy was an
idiot to say what he said when he said, It
but AND i know what his motivation was regarding you,
know you, know let's not, pray let's take the guns.
(28:27):
Away but my, my my motivation would have been continue to.
Pray but, yeah we have to do something about. This
and it's not taking the guns, away it's helping people
with mental illness and it's institutionalized. People and then also
(28:49):
to bring back the death penalty for such a horrific.
CRIME i, know this guy killed, himself but And i'd
like to tie it back to the marathon. BOOK i,
mean IF i, could and even nine, eleven the marathon,
bombing you, know same, thing you, know you, know that
horrific thing. Happened we still have one of these guys
(29:11):
still breathing the. Air you, know several people were killed
in a man forever in their. Life and then people
run out and Buy Boston STRONG t shirts and it's
kind of. Gross and then they go back to nine
to eleven again after that horrific, action those guys are
still in. Jail they're not they haven't been executed, yet
(29:31):
WHICH i just recently found that out and find that.
Amazing and AGAIN i, went you, know short not maybe
left five years, after you, know nine to. ELEVEN i
went down to see the monument and, stuff and there's
a gift shot down there and that at that time
they were selling Stuffed dalmatians AND i mean it's just.
(29:52):
GROSS i mean it's like and actually at that, time
my son was about twelve years, old were standing in
the line it was still kind of under, construction the
monument and maybe the new, building and, uh there's a
bunch Of arabs in the. Line and my, son who
is twelve at the, time, Said, daddy these guys here
to honor these? People or are they?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Here are they happy to be?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Here And i'm, like, yeah that's a good. QUESTION i
don't know how to answer, that BUT i, mean, again
my motivation would be the complete opposite of That mayas
we gotta we got to take that control of our,
country and we have to end these these evil. People
we have to get them off the.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Planet, yeah, WELL i think HE i agree with, you
that should have been what he, said but it. Isn't
AND i don't think he said it for a couple of. Reasons,
one the shooter did not fit the political narrative that he.
Wanted he would have said that if the, SHOOTER i
think had had been wearing A maga hat and you,
(30:55):
know been been a good old boy or somebody who
was A trump SUPPORT i think you would have heard
something very close to, That. Bob but, instead the shooter
didn't fit that, narrative and the shooter fit what the
progressives have turned into a protected class of, people and
so in order to protect, themselves they have to protect
(31:18):
the identity of the shooter and not pigeonhole him in
any particular group of. People AND i think that's why
he didn't go. There but he went even further than,
that you, know, instead he said we you, know he's
calling for gun, control and even, more you, know even more,
bizarrely he's, saying we don't need your. Prayers he's denigrating.
(31:38):
Religion SO i THINK i agree with you completely as
to what should have been a, thinking empathetic mayor's. Response
but that's not what we had yesterday from The minneapolis,
Mayor Jacob. Fry we had a political animal who's a
progressive and who has a mantra he has to, follow
(32:01):
come hell or high, water and that's what he. Did
AND i think in doing, so he has he alienated
people instead of bringing people on, board which is WHAT
i think he hoped he would. DO i think he
just alienated people because he's certainly alienated, me and it
sounds like he alienated you, Too. Bob did He?
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Oh, yeah they just can't help. Themselves and actually to
do that that quickly after this incident is just. REPREHENSIBLE
i mean they.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Did they are really their evil their evil.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
PEOPLE i don't know how else to describe.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Them they don't seem to recognize good versus. EVIL i
Would i'll say THAT i must agree with you. There
thank you so much for the, Call. BOB i appreciate.
It so it is the mayor Of Minneapoliss Jacob, fry
indicative of the fact that The Democratic party is? Broken
and is it at this? Point given that that was
(33:03):
the response to a school, shooting that was the don't
pray and let's get guns after weeks of being on
the sides of. Criminals that is what we got from
The Democratic. Party can they get fixed at this point in?
Time and what they did yesterday did that make it?
Worse did coming out for a political issue before the
(33:26):
smoke is clear from the, gun before the bodies had
cooled of the dead, children did that make it worse for?
Them and can they possibly fix anything at this point in?
Time let's go To rose In. Norwood, Rose welcome TO.
Wrko how are.
Speaker 10 (33:41):
You, Funny? Sandy i'm doing, well thank.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
You so what do you think they? Have The democrats
just broken themselves into a million little? Pieces and did
they help themselves at all. YESTERDAY i don't.
Speaker 10 (33:55):
Think The democrats can help themselves at all anymore because
they are broke party and they've lost their common sense
and they've lost touch With god and. Family that's their biggest.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Problems it's certainly politicians.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
Exactly and when politicians come.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Up anytime an.
Speaker 10 (34:12):
Incident like it's, shooting unfortunate shooting, happens politicians start debating
the gun control. Issue and it's an. Issue so rather than,
debating let's look at, results, like let's look at states
that have tough gun control claws Like, Taxachusetts New york To,
california and let's look at their crime. Rate is it
(34:35):
working it's.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Not.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
Yeah and another point that my twelve year old son
years ago, made he's, like, mom schools are the best
targets because they are, safe, though because the shooters know
that there's no one there to protect the, children this,
staff anyone who's the parents who are walking, now there's
(35:01):
no one to stand up to, Them so that's their first,
target you.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Know and rose to your point in the manifesto that
was put up there by the, Shooter basically he said
that the reason why he picked the church was because
it was specifically a no gun. Zone he was making
sure that wherever he went to do, this he was
thinking about killing these children on a playground at recess
when they're going in and, out or you, know doing
(35:25):
a fire, alarm doing something like. That but he chose
the church and the First mass of the year to
celebrate the beginning of school because it was a no gun.
Zone that meant nobody would have a gun to fire
back at. Him so he to your, point that's exactly
why he picked the.
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Church, ABSOLUTELY i don't think gun control is the. ISSUE
i think going back to, family going back to, prayer
and going back to parental, controls not gun. Control parental
control through common.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Sense yeah, Yeah doe common. Sense but common sense has
been seriously lacking in The Democrat party. RECENTLY i mean
when you look at the fact that they found themselves
arguing against crime control for the. CRIMINALS i mean they
actually publicly are arguing against crime. Control that just defies,
(36:16):
explanation because then what universe is that going to be
a popular argument unless you're with you, know other mentally
inflicted people like you are that you have you have
trumped arrangement syndrome to the point where you think it's
okay to argue on the behalf of rapists and murderers
and against the police officers who are protecting. You and
(36:39):
that's where they've been for a couple of weeks until.
Yesterday And i'm not saying that they're for The National,
guard but all of a sudden they're, Like, oh we
have an opportunity now to be on the side of
law and. Order let's call for gun control before even
the smoke cleared rose and THAT i don't see how
you come back from. That do you.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
Actually having The National? Guard is it deterned even if
they're not doing anything except just their presence in the.
Deterrent if we're seeing that In, WASHINGTON, dc so what's
wrong with following that example in other?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
States?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, yeah, NO i. DON'T i do not disagree with.
That the the thing is that legally the president can
bring in The National guard BECAUSE dc is a federal
is a federally protected. Area it's it's unlike any other
city in The United. States federal law is what CONTROLS.
Dc so he has the right to do it In,
(37:34):
washington but he doesn't have that same right in other.
Cities you have to be invited in by the governor
of the state in order to bring The National guard
to some other place unless you can declare some sort
of emergency or there's something that will supersede states. Rights
but so that's why you just don't walk into other, Cities.
(37:56):
Rose BUT i think that The trump administration is trying
to figure out a way to help some of these
other cities despite. Themselves don't you.
Speaker 10 (38:07):
Not be a good image For trump or Any republicans
or Any conservatives to be calling for The National guard
to be called into any state without the governor asking for.
It BUT i think these governors need to reevaluate the
results that we're getting FROM dc versus the crime rate
(38:29):
that they're. Fighting.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, No, NO i think that's. RIGHT i think that's.
Right AND i think that part of what's happened, Here,
rose is that The democrats have been fit to be
tied over the fact That President trump has been successful
in his address against crime basically In, washington D. C i,
(38:53):
mean it's one of his main platforms that he that
he campaigned, on is you, know the addressing of crime
that took a huge law enforcement took a huge hit
during during The biden, administration and you, know people were
(39:13):
trying to defund the. Police no bail laws were put into,
effect and crime has. Skyrocketed and the interesting thing about
that is That democrats knew that crime had. Skyrocketed and
several police chiefs and major cities have gotten themselves into
deep crap by by lying about the, statistics by bending
(39:38):
the statistics to try to show that crime wasn't. Skyrocketing
but you, know they actually brought up the police chief In,
washington D. C for doing exactly. That but you, Know
President trump lives In, washington D. C and so does
The Press, corps and the Press corps was seeing basically
(40:00):
the crime every day and how bad it was despite
the statistics that the mayor's office was putting. Out And
President trump has always criticized The blue states and the
blue cities for what he, called you, know the radical
left policies on criminal. Justice and when he brought out
The National guard while signaling that other cities may be,
(40:24):
next The democrats had to fight that because they have
to fight anything That President trump.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Does
