Speaker 1 (00:00):
They're guilty of trying to kill the people in our country.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Two individuals and clear distress killed by the United States.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
We just have to get out.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
So long as we keep the faith some and hope
we get back up and remember who in the hell
we are. We're the United States of America. Got it.
Speaker 5 (00:18):
That's who we are for the US and there's.
Speaker 6 (00:21):
Nothing you're fascinating to talk to and welcome to all
the legal citizens of the United States of amer got it.
I know what he did there. He was trying to
say the United States of America. G darn it, I'm
(00:44):
just using it's early. I'm really editing myself. But they
just kind of all jumbled in in Biden's brain and
they came out with Amerigo.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It just had to get out, to get up.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
As long as we keep the faith, that's right, someone,
hope we get back up and remember who in hell
we are are. We're the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Right, That's who we are.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
We're the US, and there's nothing.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Isn't the aren't the Dallas Cowboys considered like America America's team?
Isn't that what this? Isn't that what they unfortunately isn't
that that I am right about that though, right, okay,
you know, listen in honor of Brett, who's in the
master control booth this morning, all bestowed that title upon
the upon the Packers. They won. They won yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I'd say, we're a small town America's team. What's your uh,
what's your record?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Right now? What's the Packers? Nine three one?
Speaker 7 (01:33):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Okay, better than Vikings. I went to the game yesterday.
I went to the Vikings game. So they played well.
So Brett was that Twin City's news Talk. By the way,
good morning, I hope you had a fantastic weekend. As
we start this show from the six five to one
carpet plus Next Day installed studios, my name is John Justice.
Now that we have that out of the way, so
you know who it is that you're listening to. How
(01:56):
was watching that particular game? Was it to enjoyable seeing
them wallop the Washington Redskins.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
It was nice seeing my gal not have to like
want to vomit watching the Vikings, okay, because she's a
Vikings fan. Okay, got so, she actually had a great time.
I had a fun time too. They always put on
a good show before the game, During the game, it's
fifty to fifty coin toss sometimes less. Why can't you
So they played, well, why can't you J McCarthy play
like the Solar time?
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Well, getting to lose now supposed well, there's nothing to lose.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Also, they were playing an even worse team in the
commut They're like three wins.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Well, I have nothing to play for. I saw that
at the moment when the game started. I looked at
the little record thing that, but I go, oh, the
Commanders really they're not They're not doing very well. They've
had like a cursed season this year. It was nice
to see anyways. So my take is that the we're
a super Bowl mound?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Now that is that how this I believe the Vikings
have a less than one percent chance to make?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Is that how this works?
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Now?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Can they can they still? Can you still do like
a wildcard thing? With all of this? What do you mean? Well,
I mean if we get we get closer to the playoffs,
let's say they win a handful of their next games,
can we still get in like via a wildcard game?
Is that how they were less than one percent less
than one wild card? Okay to make it in for
the wild card? Okay? Less than one percent. But you're
(03:15):
saying there's a chance that.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Everyone in the NFC has to lose like four games
in a row and the Vikings have to win all
of their games.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Oh hell yeah, I got something to root for. Yeah
you do, I got something to root for. Andrew Langer
will join us on the show today. We had a
lot of fraud talk. I know you're surprised by that.
Raids continue to go and take place. By the way,
Joe Biden wasn't the only one to sort of mix
things up in that clip that I played there a
moment ago. President Donald Trump did not have an MRI.
(03:46):
I knew this, by the way, this was my assumption
all along. I'm glad that it finally got confirmed. So
there was controversy around Trump having this yearly test. And
this was also, you know, brought further to the media
as a engine because Governor Tim Jong Walls was out
there trying to redirect away from the fraud issue here
(04:07):
in Minnesota when he did THEMRI results right and all
this stuff. He might have been talking about temporary protected status.
Either way, he was pushing back on Trump to which
they did release the test results. It wasn't an MRI,
that was a CT scan. Trump just conflated the two.
I think most people get confused over that they do
similar things, but they are two different tests. And I
(04:28):
had kind of assumed that all along. I just didn't
have you know, I didn't have the details. I'm like, well,
I guess he could have got an MRI because I
get a CT scan every single year and they were
looking at Trump's cardiovascular system at the time when this
test was done, and Caroline leve at the White House
Press Secretary had released the results and said, yeah, everything
was everything was fine, but it was not an MRI,
(04:50):
it was a it was a CT scan. I imagine
this might garner some headlines today as we inch closer
to Christmas, and you can only talk about the here
in Minnesota and the mainstream media so much. But there
is a lot to cover, and we'll get you up
to speed from over the weekend. What we'll do. Heading
into the conversation with Andrew Langer, the president of the
(05:11):
Institute for Liberty just after six thirty this morning, I
want to share with you a couple of quick stories
that I predict are also going to get a lot
larger today. Unlike the mri CT scan confusion. But I
predicted to a couple of different stories that broke over
the weekend that are going to be used as propaganda
against Trump's immigration correction enforcement. This is what I'm calling
(05:35):
it now, by the way, immigration correction and enforcement, because
we're correcting what Joe Biden did when he was in office.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
As long as we keep the faith, someone hope and
get back up and remember who in the hell we are.
We're the United States of America. That's who we are,
the US, and there's.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Nothing does that make me a proud America. But I
can run with that all morning long. So what happened
at a university over the weekend regarding an ice rate,
I'll give you details on that. A story out of
caroleven Ring capture captures excuse me, ring camera captures Burnsville
(06:19):
ice ray that leaves seven year old without parents according
to the family, Do we bring up the age of
children so prominently in other circumstances when a parent is
arrested or only during the times when it's beneficial to
liberal narratives. We're gonna pose that question as always. You
can give us a call eight four four nine four
(06:39):
six five eight five five email me throughout the show
this morning, Justice at iHeartRadio dot com and if you're
listening on the iHeartRadio app, leave us those talkbacks. Those
are brought to you by Lyndahlrealty. We'll get to those
coming up. These stories and Andrew Langer this hour on
Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh
three five FM, the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What's called a Trump derangement problem? Have you about that problem?
Speaker 6 (07:09):
It warms my heart, especially during the holiday season when
I know that the foes of the show are up
listening to Twin Cities News Talk early. Continuing the broadcast
here from the six five to one Carpet Next Day
Install Studios. Typical racist John Justice unwilling to call the
team by their proper name.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It's the Washington Commanders, you racist bigot.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Actually that's not true. I did call them the Washington
Commanders the second time. The first time I called them
the Washington Redskins. But that's not racist. Racist is characterized
or showing prejudice, discrimination, antagonism against a person group of
people based off their membership in a particular racial or
(07:52):
ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized
it's a negative. I didn't wasn't using it as agat
just because an activist organization decides that they want to
go and bring in an influx of money by raising
a stink over an issue that really even individuals from
(08:13):
that background don't particularly care about. And the Moniker Washington
Redskins in and of itself was one of a positive thing.
That's part of this whole thing when it comes to
naming of you know, team, you know, the convention of
naming teams and sports franchises and things of that nature.
It's all done as a positive. They're not adopting the
(08:34):
name as a negative. So whatever, Like you didn't think
that already full of the show, But I'm glad you're
up early this morning. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Can we can I agree that out of all the
Indian related sports names, that one was the worst.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Because like she sure, yeah, I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Guess I'm pushing back because it literally is talking about
their skin color, which is none of odd.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I understand. I understand that, but you had you had
Native American groups that came out and had like no issue,
They had no issue with it at at all, you know, whatever.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I don't Braves, Chiefs, Blackhawks. That's all seminoles and they
have a working relationship with them. Florida State look like
the Redskins.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Always. To be honest, it always was weird. Sure, well
it's weird in no offense, Brett. It's weird because you know,
people were conditioned to have it be weird. But but
that that being said, it is subjective, so you're entitled
to your opinion. This is why I appreciate bred I'll
be over here. He's he's not He's not afraid to
go and voice his opinion on such matters. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Really went out on a limb there and said it's
weird that they named the team after the skin color.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
But yeah, no, no, listen, there were plenty of groups
out there that had no problem with it. And I
don't know, I don't follow that particular team, like if
I was a fan of that team for years, like
they aren't hard. Junior is a massive Washington fan, you know,
and he's been following them for years like I would be.
If that is something that you grew up with the
team with that name, you know, it would be a bummer.
(10:06):
But whatever, anyway, let's move over to this here, Augsburg
University is expressing deep concern about an incident involving mass
to ICE agents targeting an undergraduate student on campus. This
comes from Fox nine. Augsburg University stated the incident occurred
around four o'clock and involved ICE agents aiming weapons and
(10:27):
witnesses including staff and students. The university described these actions
as unacceptable, dangerous, and profoundly disturbing. We do not know yet,
as always happens, the background of the individual involved, and
so far this is all just on the ground reporting
coming from alleged eye witnesses, so who knows exactly how
this whole thing transpired. David Wilson, a managing attorneys, so
(10:51):
take his comments here with a grand assault or at
least appropriately considering this guy's an attorney on this, says,
the public just can't walk in into schools hallways. There's
no reason why any why an ICE officer can do
the same, and so if they want to get in,
they can either get a warrant or they can wait outside.
They can't come in the building. He explained that ICE
(11:12):
needs a judicial warrant to enter the school buildings. The
story goes on to say the incident highlights ongoing concerns
about ICE activities in the Twin Cities and races, questions
about the rights of schools and individuals when ICE agents
are present. There are potentially two different warrants ICE could
show you. They can show you an ICE warrant or
(11:32):
a judicial one. So again, I share this with you
because I predict that this story is only going to
get bigger and continue to be used against Trump's immigration
correction enforcement. Okay, along with that, let me go here.
(11:53):
This happened out of Birdsville, and I'll share with you
the story from Carol Levin Ring and camera captures Burnsville
ICE raid that leaves a seven year old without parents
according to the family. Here is a bit of the
story again from Caro leven Ring.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Camera footage captured the moment more than a dozen ICE
agents raided this Burnsville home.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
The one Angel Alvarado says.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
They force it.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Four of his family members were upstairs.
Speaker 10 (12:19):
They don't they were hiring here.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Sophia Alvarado does not want her face shown, but says
her husband owns the home. She says she and the
three others upstairs were eventually able to prove they're US citizens.
Speaker 10 (12:33):
They all were, you know, they all were scary, crying
and knowing what's what's happened, what's gonna They were pointing
with the guns.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Hand that to not to move.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
Just they all haven't sit here?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Is comto?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Sophia says it started when a couple renting their basement
was headed home from the grocery store and stopped by
ICE agents. Green camera footage shows ICE agents detaining the man.
The woman ran to the house and hid with her
seven year old no.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
One that she was she runs from outside. She was
hiring here with a little kid.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Ice detained both of the seven year old boy's parents.
Ice also detained another man downstairs and a fourth a
father to two kids with a third on the way.
His wife, who asked to be anonymous, is six months pregnant.
She says she hid with her seven year old and
one and a half year old. She says her family
(13:40):
came here illegally from Honduras for work. She says ICE
told her to voluntary self to port. She says she
wants her husband back. With two kids and one more
on the way, she says it's going to be very
hard for her even well.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
You know what you shouldn't have come here illegally. You
caught that, right. We came here illegally to work consequences
for your actions and.
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Harder as she's now taking care of the seven year
old boy who is without his parents in Burnsville. Heidiwindall
Caro eleven News.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Look, I get it. I understand. It's frustrating. It's sad,
but it's always frustrating and sad whenever a parent with
children goes and makes a poor choice. I use this
example all the time, but it's relevant. You get an individual,
a parent, a mother or a father, they drink and drive,
they get involved in an accident, or they get pulled over,
(14:35):
they get thrown behind bars, you pick whatever crime that
you want. Typically, we don't have the sort of sob, sob,
sober tone relating to the news coverage regarding those situations.
But right now these stories are being used as propaganda
to push back against President Donald Trump and his enforcement actions.
The Post Millennial had to follow up on this. Katie
(14:56):
Davis Court wrote, ICE agents captured several criminals aliens during
this operation that took place over the weekend. Democrat politicians
are claiming that ICE kidnapped innocent members of the community.
Sources tell the Post Millennial the targets were apprehended on warrants.
A male subject allegedly assaulted officers but was successfully apprehended.
(15:18):
The previously deported female subject fled into the house, which
ultimately resulted in her apprehension and several collateral arrests. Per sources,
there's another angle to the story too. It sounds like
the individuals who own the home should have done a
more thorough job in vetting out the individual that they
were renting out a portion of their home too. You know,
(15:40):
in the meantime, you have a story. The ice operations
continue in the Twin Cities. Some in Northeast Minneapolis say
immigrant owned businesses are feeling the effects of fewer customers
and worried to staff members, including those with proper documentation.
The individual that they focus on in this story is
somebody who hosts a weekly gathering on Sunday morning for
(16:05):
coffee meetups. This is the owner of a bike shop, says,
we're trying to fight back. We know the people that
work here, these people that we care about, that they
have worked their entire lives here to make this work.
The media is going to milk as many of these
anecdotal stories as possible as they continue to talk about
(16:27):
the issues that we're faced with here in Minnesota. He
said he's worried about the economic impacts of slow foot
traffic and neighborhood businesses. Sales are down, and that's the
whole district, not just one or two businesses. Meanwhile, in Washington,
d C. The house boarders are Tom Homan defended the
Trump administration's immigration policies, including those that have been targeting
(16:50):
the immigrants here in Minnesota. And I'll have audio to
share with you from Tom home. And he was on
CNN over the weekend setting their record straight, as Dan
Bash had tried to go and claim that ICE was
only targeting migrants based off of their appearance. So we'll
get to that audio coming up a little bit later
(17:11):
on in the show. Coming up next, though, we'll hear
from Andrew Langer, president of the Institute for Liberty. We'll
dive into how the Trump order ending birthright citizenship will
be argued in front of the US Supreme Court, and
Trump is getting ready to head out on an affordability tour.
We'll get Andrew's thoughts on this and your comments from
(17:31):
the iHeartRadio app Talk back to coming up here on
Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one O three
five FM.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Good morning, and I love your show.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
All right, before we bring on Andrew Langer, president of
the Institute for Liberty, continuing the show for a Monday
from the six five to one carpet Next Day Install
Studios on twin City's News Talk, I want to get
to it just a couple of year comments regarding the
stories that we shared and we had and again I
shared these with you because I predict that these stories
will gain further attention as the week progresses and the
(18:09):
media pushes back on Trump's immigration correction enforcement. We have
ICE at Augsburg University, the university expressing deep concern after
an incident involving mass to ICE agents targeting an undergraduate
student on campus. We have very little details apart from
what the lawyer had to say. And then we also
had this story which I also imagine this is getting
(18:30):
a lot of attention locally this morning of this raid
that took place in Burnsville targeting individuals that were there illegally. Again,
let's get to a few of your thoughts and then
we'll talk with Andrew langer Born and everybody. It's chat
from Dellanall Happy Monday.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, and my prediction is it's going to come out
that it's a big kind of made up.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nothing burger with the college deal.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
If there's a lawyer already talking.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
About it on the news getting his little airtime fifteen minutes,
the fame, you know, it's just a made up activist
type deal.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And yeah, we'll.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
See have a good day everyone, Bye bye.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Good morning. Yes, this is what I voted for. Good
morning John.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
I don't know if people realize this. If the woman
had been previously deported and then re entered the country,
that's a felony.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Yep. The liberals want.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
To carry on about these are just misdemeanors, you know,
but when you're deported and you re enter the country,
it's a felony.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
And one more regarding this too, and that is getting
back to how these stories are framed within our local medium.
I mean, there was a lot made about the families
involved with this, you know, a pregnant woman. We had
the story of neighbors saying the ice raids are impacting
Northeast Minneapolis businesses. This comment here hits the nail on
(20:04):
ahead of what I was trying to say a moment
ago here on the show.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Good Morning John. I've been involved with as a ministry
for a long time. Currently, we have about one and
a half million children that have a parent that's incarcerated,
and we've had approximately over five million children that have
been affected by this during their lifetime. I don't see
the mainstream media talking about this and making a big
deal out of it when these children are separated from
(20:29):
their parents because they've done something illegal.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Yeah, and that's the point that I was making earlier
Andrew Langer, is that it drives me nuts because only
when it's beneficial to a Democrat narrative is this extended
focus on the children that are swept up in what
is taking place. When typically when you have an individual
who was a parent and they've done something illegal that
(20:53):
lands in the news, the child aspect of it isn't
relegated to the top of the story the way it
is currently when we look at these immigration stories. So
and good morning, I hope you had a fantastic weekend.
Thanks for joining the show this morning.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It was it was it was good. It was a
good week and we have we have guests in town.
But you know, listen as I'm as I'm fond of saying.
You know, with regards to parents who make these choices,
if you didn't want to go to Chicago, you shouldn't
have gotten on that train. These are the things you
got to think about when you're when you're making these
choices and you have kids that are involved.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
So let's go here. I'm going to get back to
the immigration issue because this will be a conversation and
fraud that will continue on with after we wrap up
our talk this morning, Andrew Langers. So let's start here
on more of the DC national front and a couple
of different issues that I want to talk about with you.
First off, retail numbers heading into the holidays not being
(21:44):
widely reported by the mainstream media, unsurprisingly because they actually
are stronger than expected. What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Right, you know, there was all this talk going into
Black Friday that it was going to be it was
going to be less of a Black Friday than the
year before, and consumer confidence is off and and you know,
all of these things signs of the weaknesses and the
Trump economy. This is the narrative, and you know when
it's so funny because on the Sunday talk shows, you know,
they referenced this quote the President had last week. We're
(22:13):
talking about affordability as a con job, as though the
President was saying that affordability isn't a problem. That's not
what the President was saying. What the President was saying
is that when the Democrats talk about these issues of affordability,
when they talk down the Trump economy, that's the that's
the con job, which is something that we saw quite
a bit in the Virginia ads that were out there
(22:34):
before the the the off cycle elections this year.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
You know, there is this.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
There is this narrative that the Democrats and the leftist
press is pushing in that things are things are wrong
with the Trump economy, and it couldn't be further from
the truth.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Prices are either.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Stable and in cases like gasoline, are actually coming down.
Inflation has stabilized. Now there's always going to be a
little bit of inflation. That just that's the way it is.
What we don't want is deflation. What we want is
stability and to keep inflation low. And more importantly, what
we want is for real wages to rise at a
(23:14):
rate that is higher than the rate of inflation, so
people are putting literally more money in their pockets. These
things are all happening, and so for the Democrats to
sort of talk about this like for the Zornmandanis of
the world or the Abigail span Burghers of the world
to sort of talk about affordability as though all of
(23:34):
the problems with affordability in America aren't caused by democratic policies.
It is, well, it is, like everything else, a denial
of the objective reality.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
It'll be interesting to see if you know, as always
Andrew Langer, on these on these issues, you mean the
Democrats are are focused singularly again on their anti Trump
narrative pushing these issues. Is that they don't care about
when they're actually in power. But that question remains of
you know, how much of this is being noticed by
(24:08):
the general public enough to have it end up going
and impacting future elections as we had into next year.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Right, So you know, at the end of the day,
there are all kinds of ways that the Democrats can
get a voters spun up and angry about whatever it
is and whatever isn't working, whatever narrative isn't working for them,
they'll they'll shift over. It gets back to something that
Joe Biden talked about while he was President of the
United States, right He was very angry that people could
just drive down the street and see gas prices going
(24:38):
up right on the big signs on the highway, and
that cuts both ways. You know, people drive down the street,
they can see that. I don't know what gas prices
are in the Twin Cities right now. I know that
when gas prices went below three dollars a gallon everywhere
where I live, that was something that I took notice of.
And I take notice of gas prices. I'm very weird
(24:58):
that way.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
So you know, people notice those things, and the folks
who do the family shopping, they notice it with grocery,
with grocery prices, you know, they they notice it in
other ways. And families are certainly going to notice it
at Christmas time this year where that's not going to
take up quite as much out of their pocketbooks to
buy presents for people.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Well, speaking of what people are noticing, let's go to
the talk factors.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Hold on, John, hold on before you play the talk back,
and you know, ps, that's why spending, why retail sales
are up. Why why consumer confidence is high. It's because
they're they're seeing these things.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Sorry, go ahead, yes, let's talk about affordability. Was at Springfield,
Missouri on Friday two nine a gallon for gas? Wow,
we just paid two thirty a gallon and Columbus this morning.
It's working.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yeah, I don't The gas prices here aren't too bad.
I can't remember on top of my head. I know
when I went to fill the car up res. I
just remember I wasn't frowning what I couldn't tell you
what the exact price was. It was below it was
below three dollars. But you're right, these are the types
of things that people that people end up noticing, especially
when you go through the grocery store and you see
(26:15):
the end bill. I know that's usually what happens for
me because Melinda does the majority of the shopping. It's
just how we do things in the in the house
with her continuing to be a stay at home mom,
and so when I do go out and do the shopping,
that's usually where I make that determination because I usually
buy the same stuff and I can go, oh, i'm
paying a lot more this time, or I'm paying a
lot less this time. And this is also including how
(26:36):
many different you know, NASCAR die cast cars I ended
up finding at Walmart the next time we went, so
I need to make sure I point that out as well.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I'm still looking for the hot wheels version of the
FJ Cruiser, which is what I drive.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
So do you think that Trump heading out on an
affordability tour is the right move? I mean, this is
something that the Democrats have been using, attempting to undermine him.
Do you think this is an attempt to sort of
get out ahead of that Democrat narrative? Do you think
that the Trump administration Republicans feel like that that pushback
(27:07):
is working?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Listen, I think any opportunity to put this president in
front of a camera is the right thing to do, right,
I mean, it just it drives the Democrats up the wall.
It's one of the ways that they regain the narrative
at the end of the day. So yeah, no, I
think I think and it belies this idea that somehow
there's something wrong with the President of the United States,
(27:30):
which you know, continues to be the most idiotic choice
that the mainstream media is taking.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
So let's turn our attention over to this, citing whistleblowers
allegations that Minnesota officials covered up or ignored massive welfare fraud,
and a powerful congressional committee is investigating and demanding responses
from the states governor and Attorney general. This is the
House Committee on Oversight, announcing on the third that it
was probing the widespread fraud here in Minnesota. The Republican
(28:00):
led oversighte Committee told Walls and Keith Ellison that they
must provide certain records by December seventeenth. I've seen a
lot of individuals already pushing back on this before we
know what the ramifications are. Basically even I mean, this
is coming from conservatives, Andrew Langer but saying, oh great,
it's a House Oversight Committee probe. It's not going to
(28:21):
yield any results. We're not going to get anywhere. You know,
what are your what are your thoughts on this being
taken up at the federal level.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I think at the end of the day, right, it's
the same thing with you know meme at OZ, doctor
OZ saying that if they don't provide data about Medicare fraud,
they're going to pull funding. I mean, there's got to
be some level of accountability here. Frankly, subpoena Ellison, subpoena
Tim Waltz. Get him to come to Washington, d C.
Put him again, put him in front of the committee.
Put make them testify under oath. You know, that's that's
(28:51):
what these oversight committees are there for. You know, this
is this is the issue with the whole idea behind
block grants, right. I mean, obviously block rents are to
give states the flexibility, uh to spend these dollars and
discharge them properly. But if you're going to take the
federal money, one of the strings is that the Congress
is going to engage in oversight. This is squarely in
(29:12):
what Congress wants to do. What I don't want, obviously,
is this to be like the Senate with good legislation.
I don't want it to be the place where where
you know, these important issues go to die. Nevertheless, we
have to do we have to engage in the investigation.
Investigations take time. Listen, I'm watching Reacher. You know no
(29:34):
detail is spared, you know, every detail matters.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I have a couple of the clips that I wanted
to share as we talk about this first one comes
from Senator John Kennedy. He had this to say regarding
the issue of the fraud here in Minnesota.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
This one makes you want to throw up on a
potted plan makes me stick my head in another. So
they started going to parents in the Somali community and saying,
can we call your child autistic? Can we certify that
your child is autistic? If you'll let us do that,
(30:08):
we'll pay you a bribe anywhere from four hundred dollars
to fifteen hundred dollars a child.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
It's deeply disgusting.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
I mean, it is clown World on steroids. It makes
me want to knee someone in the groin. But the
politicians in Minnesota that discipment, it is disgusting. President is
these people want to all be putting Jake, including the politicians.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Is he the most entertaining of our of our senators?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He really is the second coming of Lyndon Baines Johnson,
and I for one would like to see him. Listen, folks,
if you've never heard the audio of Lyndon Johnson ordering
hagar pants, you want fifteen minutes of entertainment, go and
pull that up on YouTube. Yeah, I mean listen, I
want John Kennedy to run for president in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
A quick a clip from Speaker Johnson talking about the
issue of Walls and Ellison. Then I have some further
commentary for you on talking with Andrew Langer this morning,
how Walls and Ellison led Democrat states ensuing the Department
of Agriculture for trying to determine how many illegals we're
getting welfare. Here's what the Speaker had to say, and
(31:21):
the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Will continue to abuse it.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
They sued the USDA for.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Asking them simply asking them to tell them how many
illegal aliens are on the programs in California and New
York and these other states.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
They sued them.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
You need to take account of what people are doing
here in each party, the leaders and the president of
the United States. We are trying to get government to
work more efficiently and effectively for the people, and we
are getting stopped and hindered by political games by Democrats.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
And that's why we're so frustrated. Andrew. I don't know
obviously what the outcome will be of this House Oversight
Committee probing the cover up of the massive, you know,
fraud here in Minnesota. I do know that many prominent voices,
and not just conservative voices, are echoing what I've been
saying since that City Journal report regarding taxpayer dollars going
(32:12):
to terrorist organizations, and that is Walls needs to resign.
I'm actually rather surprised at the number of individuals that
continue to sort of echo what I've been saying for
weeks here on the show. And what's interesting to me
is that these two things are obviously tied together. If
Walls were to resign, and I don't imagine it's going
to happen. Okay, I'm gonna say that up front. I
don't believe it's going to happen. I do want to
(32:34):
see more people call for him to resign, but if
he were, it really would take away a lot of
the reason why the fraud is actually being covered on
the national level because it all happened under Walls. But again,
as I said, I don't expect that he's going to
but it is interesting to see the number of individuals
that are stepping up saying he really needs to step down.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
The only way Tim Waltz will resign is if the
more prominent Democrats are like, yeah, this, this ongoing scandal
is going to continue to do damage to the party.
You need to go if we want to if we
want to shut this thing down. And here's the thing,
right at the end of the day, even if Tim
Waltz resigns, you know, the House Oversight Committee can't stop.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
They have to continue to go down this road and
peel these things back.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I'll say it again, John, just you know, thank goodness,
you know Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris didn't win last
year because either we would now have this other scandal,
you know, coming out about something happening while Tim Walls
was governor or, all of this fraud would be buried
by you know, the the Democratic powers in DC.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Well, and I'm more and more convinced that one of many,
but one of the biggest drivers as to why Walls
was so eager to hop on board with Kamala Harris
was that slight possibility that he could that they could
have won and he would no longer be governor of
the state of Minnesota in the middle of what we're
talking about talking about right now. But you're right, man,
talking about the dodge, the dodging of the biggest bullets.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I go to sleep for eighteen months and all of
a sudden, everyone has delusions of grandeur.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Speaking of which, I really want to get your thoughts
on this. So I've known there's been rumblings ye that
Disney and Lucasfilm have been tirelessly working on a complete
restoration of the original nineteen seventy seven version of Star Wars,
the one that I saw when I was a kid
(34:29):
at five years old, when my father went to take me,
the one that Lucas says it's not the version that
he wants people to see. But now it turns out
that the original Star Wars, a completely remastered version, will
be released on February nineteenth of twenty twenty seven, as
part of a year long celebration of the franchise's fiftieth anniversary.
And again, this is a completely restored original one as
(34:51):
it aired back in nineteen seventy seven before. My understanding
is this is the version before they even had the
episode on the the episode number on the opening crawl,
or a new hope, I should say. Before.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
My problem is that they're taking it off of the
videotape of some guys sitting in a Times Square theater.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
With a Beta Max filming.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
That's all true now listen, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. Now
if we could just if we could just fix you know,
the Star Wars holiday specials so you don't have twenty
minutes of Wookie pantomime at the beginning, I'd be all in.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
I'm excited about this from a pure nostalgia standpoint, I'm
actually already planning and I'm already planning on traveling out
to see my dad so that we can go see
the original version again, just as we did when I
was five years old. I have not made it a
secret that preferably I like the special editions. I've had
a chance to go back and watch despecialized versions and
(35:46):
fans that put together that show the original footage. And again,
from a nostalgia standpoint, it's awesome to see what they
were able to accomplish back in nineteen seventy seven, but
in twenty twenty five terms in terms of our technology,
it really does just serve as a piece of nostalgia
because those effects were, while cutting edge in seventy seven,
are incredibly wonky by today's standards.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm just waiting for the hue
and cry as people scream out when when Hand shoots
Grido first, and that's that's you know, that's going to
be the moment. That's what makes it worth it at
the end of the days. It if if Lucas hadn't
retconned that that scene and completely flipped it on said.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
No, I agree, and there will be fans that will
be cheering when that scene when that scene shows a
you know, for me, I.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Would like to have the restored scenes with uh Luke
and Ku Stark and the fixer at the Tashi station,
you know, all of all of those things. I want
to the scenes with bigs, you know, you know at
the Tashi station, all of those I would like to
see those put back in.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
But you know that's just me Andrew Langer. Anything that
you would like the listener to go and check out
that you've been involved with late recently.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Yeah, listen. I I have a great interview with Guy
Bentley from Reason that's going to drop today. It's about
the neo temperance movement. Yes, there is a move to
you know, declare that there is no safe serving of alcohol.
It is taking rout in the United States. We may
be seeing the Trump administration say something about it and
(37:18):
so you know, that's a that's a good episode to
watch or and listen to and then if you get
a chance. I was in for Tony Katz last week.
A guy named John Justice came and joined me. You
can go and find that online. That was on Thursday.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Andrew Langer has always man, thank you so much for
the time. Thanks for having me on the other show.
I appreciate it, and we will talk to you one next,
one last time next week before I head off on
on Christmas vacation.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Sounds good. Enjoy man.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Coming up, Tom Homans, that's Dana Bash. Straight after the
CNN host suggests that ICE is targeting migrants based off appearances.
I will play you the audio of doctor Oz and
Andrew mentioned a moment ago calling for walls to address
the systemic fraud. And we'll get your comments from the
iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndahl Realty. Coming up
next on Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one
(38:06):
oh three five FM.
They're guilty of trying to kill the people in our country.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Two individuals and clear distress killed by the United States.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
We just have to get out.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
So long as we keep the faith some and hope
we get back up and remember who in the hell
we are. We're the United States of America. Got it.
Speaker 5 (00:18):
That's who we are for the US and there's.
Speaker 6 (00:21):
Nothing you're fascinating to talk to and welcome to all
the legal citizens of the United States of amer got it.
I know what he did there. He was trying to
say the United States of America. G darn it, I'm
(00:44):
just using it's early. I'm really editing myself. But they
just kind of all jumbled in in Biden's brain and
they came out with Amerigo.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It just had to get out, to get up.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
As long as we keep the faith, that's right, someone,
hope we get back up and remember who in hell
we are are. We're the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Right, That's who we are.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
We're the US, and there's nothing.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Isn't the aren't the Dallas Cowboys considered like America America's team?
Isn't that what this? Isn't that what they unfortunately isn't
that that I am right about that though, right, okay,
you know, listen in honor of Brett, who's in the
master control booth this morning, all bestowed that title upon
the upon the Packers. They won. They won yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I'd say, we're a small town America's team. What's your uh,
what's your record?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Right now? What's the Packers? Nine three one?
Speaker 7 (01:33):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Okay, better than Vikings. I went to the game yesterday.
I went to the Vikings game. So they played well.
So Brett was that Twin City's news Talk. By the way,
good morning, I hope you had a fantastic weekend. As
we start this show from the six five to one
carpet plus Next Day installed studios, my name is John Justice.
Now that we have that out of the way, so
you know who it is that you're listening to. How
(01:56):
was watching that particular game? Was it to enjoyable seeing
them wallop the Washington Redskins.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
It was nice seeing my gal not have to like
want to vomit watching the Vikings, okay, because she's a
Vikings fan. Okay, got so, she actually had a great time.
I had a fun time too. They always put on
a good show before the game, During the game, it's
fifty to fifty coin toss sometimes less. Why can't you
So they played, well, why can't you J McCarthy play
like the Solar time?
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Well, getting to lose now supposed well, there's nothing to lose.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Also, they were playing an even worse team in the
commut They're like three wins.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Well, I have nothing to play for. I saw that
at the moment when the game started. I looked at
the little record thing that, but I go, oh, the
Commanders really they're not They're not doing very well. They've
had like a cursed season this year. It was nice
to see anyways. So my take is that the we're
a super Bowl mound?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Now that is that how this I believe the Vikings
have a less than one percent chance to make?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Is that how this works?
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Now?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Can they can they still? Can you still do like
a wildcard thing? With all of this? What do you mean? Well,
I mean if we get we get closer to the playoffs,
let's say they win a handful of their next games,
can we still get in like via a wildcard game?
Is that how they were less than one percent less
than one wild card? Okay to make it in for
the wild card? Okay? Less than one percent. But you're
(03:15):
saying there's a chance that.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Everyone in the NFC has to lose like four games
in a row and the Vikings have to win all
of their games.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Oh hell yeah, I got something to root for. Yeah
you do, I got something to root for. Andrew Langer
will join us on the show today. We had a
lot of fraud talk. I know you're surprised by that.
Raids continue to go and take place. By the way,
Joe Biden wasn't the only one to sort of mix
things up in that clip that I played there a
moment ago. President Donald Trump did not have an MRI.
(03:46):
I knew this, by the way, this was my assumption
all along. I'm glad that it finally got confirmed. So
there was controversy around Trump having this yearly test. And
this was also, you know, brought further to the media
as a engine because Governor Tim Jong Walls was out
there trying to redirect away from the fraud issue here
(04:07):
in Minnesota when he did THEMRI results right and all
this stuff. He might have been talking about temporary protected status.
Either way, he was pushing back on Trump to which
they did release the test results. It wasn't an MRI,
that was a CT scan. Trump just conflated the two.
I think most people get confused over that they do
similar things, but they are two different tests. And I
(04:28):
had kind of assumed that all along. I just didn't
have you know, I didn't have the details. I'm like, well,
I guess he could have got an MRI because I
get a CT scan every single year and they were
looking at Trump's cardiovascular system at the time when this
test was done, and Caroline leve at the White House
Press Secretary had released the results and said, yeah, everything
was everything was fine, but it was not an MRI,
(04:50):
it was a it was a CT scan. I imagine
this might garner some headlines today as we inch closer
to Christmas, and you can only talk about the here
in Minnesota and the mainstream media so much. But there
is a lot to cover, and we'll get you up
to speed from over the weekend. What we'll do. Heading
into the conversation with Andrew Langer, the president of the
(05:11):
Institute for Liberty just after six thirty this morning, I
want to share with you a couple of quick stories
that I predict are also going to get a lot
larger today. Unlike the mri CT scan confusion. But I
predicted to a couple of different stories that broke over
the weekend that are going to be used as propaganda
against Trump's immigration correction enforcement. This is what I'm calling
(05:35):
it now, by the way, immigration correction and enforcement, because
we're correcting what Joe Biden did when he was in office.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
As long as we keep the faith, someone hope and
get back up and remember who in the hell we are.
We're the United States of America. That's who we are,
the US, and there's.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Nothing does that make me a proud America. But I
can run with that all morning long. So what happened
at a university over the weekend regarding an ice rate,
I'll give you details on that. A story out of
caroleven Ring capture captures excuse me, ring camera captures Burnsville
(06:19):
ice ray that leaves seven year old without parents according
to the family, Do we bring up the age of
children so prominently in other circumstances when a parent is
arrested or only during the times when it's beneficial to
liberal narratives. We're gonna pose that question as always. You
can give us a call eight four four nine four
(06:39):
six five eight five five email me throughout the show
this morning, Justice at iHeartRadio dot com and if you're
listening on the iHeartRadio app, leave us those talkbacks. Those
are brought to you by Lyndahlrealty. We'll get to those
coming up. These stories and Andrew Langer this hour on
Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty and one oh
three five FM, the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What's called a Trump derangement problem? Have you about that problem?
Speaker 6 (07:09):
It warms my heart, especially during the holiday season when
I know that the foes of the show are up
listening to Twin Cities News Talk early. Continuing the broadcast
here from the six five to one Carpet Next Day
Install Studios. Typical racist John Justice unwilling to call the
team by their proper name.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It's the Washington Commanders, you racist bigot.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Actually that's not true. I did call them the Washington
Commanders the second time. The first time I called them
the Washington Redskins. But that's not racist. Racist is characterized
or showing prejudice, discrimination, antagonism against a person group of
people based off their membership in a particular racial or
(07:52):
ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized
it's a negative. I didn't wasn't using it as agat
just because an activist organization decides that they want to
go and bring in an influx of money by raising
a stink over an issue that really even individuals from
(08:13):
that background don't particularly care about. And the Moniker Washington
Redskins in and of itself was one of a positive thing.
That's part of this whole thing when it comes to
naming of you know, team, you know, the convention of
naming teams and sports franchises and things of that nature.
It's all done as a positive. They're not adopting the
(08:34):
name as a negative. So whatever, Like you didn't think
that already full of the show, But I'm glad you're
up early this morning. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Can we can I agree that out of all the
Indian related sports names, that one was the worst.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Because like she sure, yeah, I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Guess I'm pushing back because it literally is talking about
their skin color, which is none of odd.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I understand. I understand that, but you had you had
Native American groups that came out and had like no issue,
They had no issue with it at at all, you know, whatever.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I don't Braves, Chiefs, Blackhawks. That's all seminoles and they
have a working relationship with them. Florida State look like
the Redskins.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Always. To be honest, it always was weird. Sure, well
it's weird in no offense, Brett. It's weird because you know,
people were conditioned to have it be weird. But but
that that being said, it is subjective, so you're entitled
to your opinion. This is why I appreciate bred I'll
be over here. He's he's not He's not afraid to
go and voice his opinion on such matters. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Really went out on a limb there and said it's
weird that they named the team after the skin color.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
But yeah, no, no, listen, there were plenty of groups
out there that had no problem with it. And I
don't know, I don't follow that particular team, like if
I was a fan of that team for years, like
they aren't hard. Junior is a massive Washington fan, you know,
and he's been following them for years like I would be.
If that is something that you grew up with the
team with that name, you know, it would be a bummer.
(10:06):
But whatever, anyway, let's move over to this here, Augsburg
University is expressing deep concern about an incident involving mass
to ICE agents targeting an undergraduate student on campus. This
comes from Fox nine. Augsburg University stated the incident occurred
around four o'clock and involved ICE agents aiming weapons and
(10:27):
witnesses including staff and students. The university described these actions
as unacceptable, dangerous, and profoundly disturbing. We do not know yet,
as always happens, the background of the individual involved, and
so far this is all just on the ground reporting
coming from alleged eye witnesses, so who knows exactly how
this whole thing transpired. David Wilson, a managing attorneys, so
(10:51):
take his comments here with a grand assault or at
least appropriately considering this guy's an attorney on this, says,
the public just can't walk in into schools hallways. There's
no reason why any why an ICE officer can do
the same, and so if they want to get in,
they can either get a warrant or they can wait outside.
They can't come in the building. He explained that ICE
(11:12):
needs a judicial warrant to enter the school buildings. The
story goes on to say the incident highlights ongoing concerns
about ICE activities in the Twin Cities and races, questions
about the rights of schools and individuals when ICE agents
are present. There are potentially two different warrants ICE could
show you. They can show you an ICE warrant or
(11:32):
a judicial one. So again, I share this with you
because I predict that this story is only going to
get bigger and continue to be used against Trump's immigration
correction enforcement. Okay, along with that, let me go here.
(11:53):
This happened out of Birdsville, and I'll share with you
the story from Carol Levin Ring and camera captures Burnsville
ICE raid that leaves a seven year old without parents
according to the family. Here is a bit of the
story again from Caro leven Ring.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Camera footage captured the moment more than a dozen ICE
agents raided this Burnsville home.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
The one Angel Alvarado says.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
They force it.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Four of his family members were upstairs.
Speaker 10 (12:19):
They don't they were hiring here.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Sophia Alvarado does not want her face shown, but says
her husband owns the home. She says she and the
three others upstairs were eventually able to prove they're US citizens.
Speaker 10 (12:33):
They all were, you know, they all were scary, crying
and knowing what's what's happened, what's gonna They were pointing
with the guns.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Hand that to not to move.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
Just they all haven't sit here?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Is comto?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Sophia says it started when a couple renting their basement
was headed home from the grocery store and stopped by
ICE agents. Green camera footage shows ICE agents detaining the man.
The woman ran to the house and hid with her
seven year old no.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
One that she was she runs from outside. She was
hiring here with a little kid.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Ice detained both of the seven year old boy's parents.
Ice also detained another man downstairs and a fourth a
father to two kids with a third on the way.
His wife, who asked to be anonymous, is six months pregnant.
She says she hid with her seven year old and
one and a half year old. She says her family
(13:40):
came here illegally from Honduras for work. She says ICE
told her to voluntary self to port. She says she
wants her husband back. With two kids and one more
on the way, she says it's going to be very
hard for her even well.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
You know what you shouldn't have come here illegally. You
caught that, right. We came here illegally to work consequences
for your actions and.
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Harder as she's now taking care of the seven year
old boy who is without his parents in Burnsville. Heidiwindall
Caro eleven News.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Look, I get it. I understand. It's frustrating. It's sad,
but it's always frustrating and sad whenever a parent with
children goes and makes a poor choice. I use this
example all the time, but it's relevant. You get an individual,
a parent, a mother or a father, they drink and drive,
they get involved in an accident, or they get pulled over,
(14:35):
they get thrown behind bars, you pick whatever crime that
you want. Typically, we don't have the sort of sob, sob,
sober tone relating to the news coverage regarding those situations.
But right now these stories are being used as propaganda
to push back against President Donald Trump and his enforcement actions.
The Post Millennial had to follow up on this. Katie
(14:56):
Davis Court wrote, ICE agents captured several criminals aliens during
this operation that took place over the weekend. Democrat politicians
are claiming that ICE kidnapped innocent members of the community.
Sources tell the Post Millennial the targets were apprehended on warrants.
A male subject allegedly assaulted officers but was successfully apprehended.
(15:18):
The previously deported female subject fled into the house, which
ultimately resulted in her apprehension and several collateral arrests. Per sources,
there's another angle to the story too. It sounds like
the individuals who own the home should have done a
more thorough job in vetting out the individual that they
were renting out a portion of their home too. You know,
(15:40):
in the meantime, you have a story. The ice operations
continue in the Twin Cities. Some in Northeast Minneapolis say
immigrant owned businesses are feeling the effects of fewer customers
and worried to staff members, including those with proper documentation.
The individual that they focus on in this story is
somebody who hosts a weekly gathering on Sunday morning for
(16:05):
coffee meetups. This is the owner of a bike shop, says,
we're trying to fight back. We know the people that
work here, these people that we care about, that they
have worked their entire lives here to make this work.
The media is going to milk as many of these
anecdotal stories as possible as they continue to talk about
(16:27):
the issues that we're faced with here in Minnesota. He
said he's worried about the economic impacts of slow foot
traffic and neighborhood businesses. Sales are down, and that's the
whole district, not just one or two businesses. Meanwhile, in Washington,
d C. The house boarders are Tom Homan defended the
Trump administration's immigration policies, including those that have been targeting
(16:50):
the immigrants here in Minnesota. And I'll have audio to
share with you from Tom home. And he was on
CNN over the weekend setting their record straight, as Dan
Bash had tried to go and claim that ICE was
only targeting migrants based off of their appearance. So we'll
get to that audio coming up a little bit later
(17:11):
on in the show. Coming up next, though, we'll hear
from Andrew Langer, president of the Institute for Liberty. We'll
dive into how the Trump order ending birthright citizenship will
be argued in front of the US Supreme Court, and
Trump is getting ready to head out on an affordability tour.
We'll get Andrew's thoughts on this and your comments from
(17:31):
the iHeartRadio app Talk back to coming up here on
Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one O three
five FM.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Good morning, and I love your show.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
All right, before we bring on Andrew Langer, president of
the Institute for Liberty, continuing the show for a Monday
from the six five to one carpet Next Day Install
Studios on twin City's News Talk, I want to get
to it just a couple of year comments regarding the
stories that we shared and we had and again I
shared these with you because I predict that these stories
will gain further attention as the week progresses and the
(18:09):
media pushes back on Trump's immigration correction enforcement. We have
ICE at Augsburg University, the university expressing deep concern after
an incident involving mass to ICE agents targeting an undergraduate
student on campus. We have very little details apart from
what the lawyer had to say. And then we also
had this story which I also imagine this is getting
(18:30):
a lot of attention locally this morning of this raid
that took place in Burnsville targeting individuals that were there illegally. Again,
let's get to a few of your thoughts and then
we'll talk with Andrew langer Born and everybody. It's chat
from Dellanall Happy Monday.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, and my prediction is it's going to come out
that it's a big kind of made up.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nothing burger with the college deal.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
If there's a lawyer already talking.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
About it on the news getting his little airtime fifteen minutes,
the fame, you know, it's just a made up activist
type deal.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And yeah, we'll.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
See have a good day everyone, Bye bye.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Good morning. Yes, this is what I voted for. Good
morning John.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
I don't know if people realize this. If the woman
had been previously deported and then re entered the country,
that's a felony.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Yep. The liberals want.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
To carry on about these are just misdemeanors, you know,
but when you're deported and you re enter the country,
it's a felony.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
And one more regarding this too, and that is getting
back to how these stories are framed within our local medium.
I mean, there was a lot made about the families
involved with this, you know, a pregnant woman. We had
the story of neighbors saying the ice raids are impacting
Northeast Minneapolis businesses. This comment here hits the nail on
(20:04):
ahead of what I was trying to say a moment
ago here on the show.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Good Morning John. I've been involved with as a ministry
for a long time. Currently, we have about one and
a half million children that have a parent that's incarcerated,
and we've had approximately over five million children that have
been affected by this during their lifetime. I don't see
the mainstream media talking about this and making a big
deal out of it when these children are separated from
(20:29):
their parents because they've done something illegal.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Yeah, and that's the point that I was making earlier
Andrew Langer, is that it drives me nuts because only
when it's beneficial to a Democrat narrative is this extended
focus on the children that are swept up in what
is taking place. When typically when you have an individual
who was a parent and they've done something illegal that
(20:53):
lands in the news, the child aspect of it isn't
relegated to the top of the story the way it
is currently when we look at these immigration stories. So
and good morning, I hope you had a fantastic weekend.
Thanks for joining the show this morning.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It was it was it was good. It was a
good week and we have we have guests in town.
But you know, listen as I'm as I'm fond of saying.
You know, with regards to parents who make these choices,
if you didn't want to go to Chicago, you shouldn't
have gotten on that train. These are the things you
got to think about when you're when you're making these
choices and you have kids that are involved.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
So let's go here. I'm going to get back to
the immigration issue because this will be a conversation and
fraud that will continue on with after we wrap up
our talk this morning, Andrew Langers. So let's start here
on more of the DC national front and a couple
of different issues that I want to talk about with you.
First off, retail numbers heading into the holidays not being
(21:44):
widely reported by the mainstream media, unsurprisingly because they actually
are stronger than expected. What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Right, you know, there was all this talk going into
Black Friday that it was going to be it was
going to be less of a Black Friday than the
year before, and consumer confidence is off and and you know,
all of these things signs of the weaknesses and the
Trump economy. This is the narrative, and you know when
it's so funny because on the Sunday talk shows, you know,
they referenced this quote the President had last week. We're
(22:13):
talking about affordability as a con job, as though the
President was saying that affordability isn't a problem. That's not
what the President was saying. What the President was saying
is that when the Democrats talk about these issues of affordability,
when they talk down the Trump economy, that's the that's
the con job, which is something that we saw quite
a bit in the Virginia ads that were out there
(22:34):
before the the the off cycle elections this year.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
You know, there is this.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
There is this narrative that the Democrats and the leftist
press is pushing in that things are things are wrong
with the Trump economy, and it couldn't be further from
the truth.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Prices are either.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Stable and in cases like gasoline, are actually coming down.
Inflation has stabilized. Now there's always going to be a
little bit of inflation. That just that's the way it is.
What we don't want is deflation. What we want is
stability and to keep inflation low. And more importantly, what
we want is for real wages to rise at a
(23:14):
rate that is higher than the rate of inflation, so
people are putting literally more money in their pockets. These
things are all happening, and so for the Democrats to
sort of talk about this like for the Zornmandanis of
the world or the Abigail span Burghers of the world
to sort of talk about affordability as though all of
(23:34):
the problems with affordability in America aren't caused by democratic policies.
It is, well, it is, like everything else, a denial
of the objective reality.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
It'll be interesting to see if you know, as always
Andrew Langer, on these on these issues, you mean the
Democrats are are focused singularly again on their anti Trump
narrative pushing these issues. Is that they don't care about
when they're actually in power. But that question remains of
you know, how much of this is being noticed by
(24:08):
the general public enough to have it end up going
and impacting future elections as we had into next year.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Right, So you know, at the end of the day,
there are all kinds of ways that the Democrats can
get a voters spun up and angry about whatever it
is and whatever isn't working, whatever narrative isn't working for them,
they'll they'll shift over. It gets back to something that
Joe Biden talked about while he was President of the
United States, right He was very angry that people could
just drive down the street and see gas prices going
(24:38):
up right on the big signs on the highway, and
that cuts both ways. You know, people drive down the street,
they can see that. I don't know what gas prices
are in the Twin Cities right now. I know that
when gas prices went below three dollars a gallon everywhere
where I live, that was something that I took notice of.
And I take notice of gas prices. I'm very weird
(24:58):
that way.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
So you know, people notice those things, and the folks
who do the family shopping, they notice it with grocery,
with grocery prices, you know, they they notice it in
other ways. And families are certainly going to notice it
at Christmas time this year where that's not going to
take up quite as much out of their pocketbooks to
buy presents for people.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Well, speaking of what people are noticing, let's go to
the talk factors.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Hold on, John, hold on before you play the talk back,
and you know, ps, that's why spending, why retail sales
are up. Why why consumer confidence is high. It's because
they're they're seeing these things.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Sorry, go ahead, yes, let's talk about affordability. Was at Springfield,
Missouri on Friday two nine a gallon for gas? Wow,
we just paid two thirty a gallon and Columbus this morning.
It's working.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yeah, I don't The gas prices here aren't too bad.
I can't remember on top of my head. I know
when I went to fill the car up res. I
just remember I wasn't frowning what I couldn't tell you
what the exact price was. It was below it was
below three dollars. But you're right, these are the types
of things that people that people end up noticing, especially
when you go through the grocery store and you see
(26:15):
the end bill. I know that's usually what happens for
me because Melinda does the majority of the shopping. It's
just how we do things in the in the house
with her continuing to be a stay at home mom,
and so when I do go out and do the shopping,
that's usually where I make that determination because I usually
buy the same stuff and I can go, oh, i'm
paying a lot more this time, or I'm paying a
lot less this time. And this is also including how
(26:36):
many different you know, NASCAR die cast cars I ended
up finding at Walmart the next time we went, so
I need to make sure I point that out as well.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I'm still looking for the hot wheels version of the
FJ Cruiser, which is what I drive.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
So do you think that Trump heading out on an
affordability tour is the right move? I mean, this is
something that the Democrats have been using, attempting to undermine him.
Do you think this is an attempt to sort of
get out ahead of that Democrat narrative? Do you think
that the Trump administration Republicans feel like that that pushback
(27:07):
is working?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Listen, I think any opportunity to put this president in
front of a camera is the right thing to do, right,
I mean, it just it drives the Democrats up the wall.
It's one of the ways that they regain the narrative
at the end of the day. So yeah, no, I
think I think and it belies this idea that somehow
there's something wrong with the President of the United States,
(27:30):
which you know, continues to be the most idiotic choice
that the mainstream media is taking.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
So let's turn our attention over to this, citing whistleblowers
allegations that Minnesota officials covered up or ignored massive welfare fraud,
and a powerful congressional committee is investigating and demanding responses
from the states governor and Attorney general. This is the
House Committee on Oversight, announcing on the third that it
was probing the widespread fraud here in Minnesota. The Republican
(28:00):
led oversighte Committee told Walls and Keith Ellison that they
must provide certain records by December seventeenth. I've seen a
lot of individuals already pushing back on this before we
know what the ramifications are. Basically even I mean, this
is coming from conservatives, Andrew Langer but saying, oh great,
it's a House Oversight Committee probe. It's not going to
(28:21):
yield any results. We're not going to get anywhere. You know,
what are your what are your thoughts on this being
taken up at the federal level.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I think at the end of the day, right, it's
the same thing with you know meme at OZ, doctor
OZ saying that if they don't provide data about Medicare fraud,
they're going to pull funding. I mean, there's got to
be some level of accountability here. Frankly, subpoena Ellison, subpoena
Tim Waltz. Get him to come to Washington, d C.
Put him again, put him in front of the committee.
Put make them testify under oath. You know, that's that's
(28:51):
what these oversight committees are there for. You know, this
is this is the issue with the whole idea behind
block grants, right. I mean, obviously block rents are to
give states the flexibility, uh to spend these dollars and
discharge them properly. But if you're going to take the
federal money, one of the strings is that the Congress
is going to engage in oversight. This is squarely in
(29:12):
what Congress wants to do. What I don't want, obviously,
is this to be like the Senate with good legislation.
I don't want it to be the place where where
you know, these important issues go to die. Nevertheless, we
have to do we have to engage in the investigation.
Investigations take time. Listen, I'm watching Reacher. You know no
(29:34):
detail is spared, you know, every detail matters.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I have a couple of the clips that I wanted
to share as we talk about this first one comes
from Senator John Kennedy. He had this to say regarding
the issue of the fraud here in Minnesota.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
This one makes you want to throw up on a
potted plan makes me stick my head in another. So
they started going to parents in the Somali community and saying,
can we call your child autistic? Can we certify that
your child is autistic? If you'll let us do that,
(30:08):
we'll pay you a bribe anywhere from four hundred dollars
to fifteen hundred dollars a child.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
It's deeply disgusting.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
I mean, it is clown World on steroids. It makes
me want to knee someone in the groin. But the
politicians in Minnesota that discipment, it is disgusting. President is
these people want to all be putting Jake, including the politicians.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Is he the most entertaining of our of our senators?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He really is the second coming of Lyndon Baines Johnson,
and I for one would like to see him. Listen, folks,
if you've never heard the audio of Lyndon Johnson ordering
hagar pants, you want fifteen minutes of entertainment, go and
pull that up on YouTube. Yeah, I mean listen, I
want John Kennedy to run for president in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
A quick a clip from Speaker Johnson talking about the
issue of Walls and Ellison. Then I have some further
commentary for you on talking with Andrew Langer this morning,
how Walls and Ellison led Democrat states ensuing the Department
of Agriculture for trying to determine how many illegals we're
getting welfare. Here's what the Speaker had to say, and
(31:21):
the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Will continue to abuse it.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
They sued the USDA for.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Asking them simply asking them to tell them how many
illegal aliens are on the programs in California and New
York and these other states.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
They sued them.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
You need to take account of what people are doing
here in each party, the leaders and the president of
the United States. We are trying to get government to
work more efficiently and effectively for the people, and we
are getting stopped and hindered by political games by Democrats.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
And that's why we're so frustrated. Andrew. I don't know
obviously what the outcome will be of this House Oversight
Committee probing the cover up of the massive, you know,
fraud here in Minnesota. I do know that many prominent voices,
and not just conservative voices, are echoing what I've been
saying since that City Journal report regarding taxpayer dollars going
(32:12):
to terrorist organizations, and that is Walls needs to resign.
I'm actually rather surprised at the number of individuals that
continue to sort of echo what I've been saying for
weeks here on the show. And what's interesting to me
is that these two things are obviously tied together. If
Walls were to resign, and I don't imagine it's going
to happen. Okay, I'm gonna say that up front. I
don't believe it's going to happen. I do want to
(32:34):
see more people call for him to resign, but if
he were, it really would take away a lot of
the reason why the fraud is actually being covered on
the national level because it all happened under Walls. But again,
as I said, I don't expect that he's going to
but it is interesting to see the number of individuals
that are stepping up saying he really needs to step down.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
The only way Tim Waltz will resign is if the
more prominent Democrats are like, yeah, this, this ongoing scandal
is going to continue to do damage to the party.
You need to go if we want to if we
want to shut this thing down. And here's the thing,
right at the end of the day, even if Tim
Waltz resigns, you know, the House Oversight Committee can't stop.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
They have to continue to go down this road and
peel these things back.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I'll say it again, John, just you know, thank goodness,
you know Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris didn't win last
year because either we would now have this other scandal,
you know, coming out about something happening while Tim Walls
was governor or, all of this fraud would be buried
by you know, the the Democratic powers in DC.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Well, and I'm more and more convinced that one of many,
but one of the biggest drivers as to why Walls
was so eager to hop on board with Kamala Harris
was that slight possibility that he could that they could
have won and he would no longer be governor of
the state of Minnesota in the middle of what we're
talking about talking about right now. But you're right, man,
talking about the dodge, the dodging of the biggest bullets.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I go to sleep for eighteen months and all of
a sudden, everyone has delusions of grandeur.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Speaking of which, I really want to get your thoughts
on this. So I've known there's been rumblings ye that
Disney and Lucasfilm have been tirelessly working on a complete
restoration of the original nineteen seventy seven version of Star Wars,
the one that I saw when I was a kid
(34:29):
at five years old, when my father went to take me,
the one that Lucas says it's not the version that
he wants people to see. But now it turns out
that the original Star Wars, a completely remastered version, will
be released on February nineteenth of twenty twenty seven, as
part of a year long celebration of the franchise's fiftieth anniversary.
And again, this is a completely restored original one as
(34:51):
it aired back in nineteen seventy seven before. My understanding
is this is the version before they even had the
episode on the the episode number on the opening crawl,
or a new hope, I should say. Before.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
My problem is that they're taking it off of the
videotape of some guys sitting in a Times Square theater.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
With a Beta Max filming.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
That's all true now listen, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. Now
if we could just if we could just fix you know,
the Star Wars holiday specials so you don't have twenty
minutes of Wookie pantomime at the beginning, I'd be all in.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
I'm excited about this from a pure nostalgia standpoint, I'm
actually already planning and I'm already planning on traveling out
to see my dad so that we can go see
the original version again, just as we did when I
was five years old. I have not made it a
secret that preferably I like the special editions. I've had
a chance to go back and watch despecialized versions and
(35:46):
fans that put together that show the original footage. And again,
from a nostalgia standpoint, it's awesome to see what they
were able to accomplish back in nineteen seventy seven, but
in twenty twenty five terms in terms of our technology,
it really does just serve as a piece of nostalgia
because those effects were, while cutting edge in seventy seven,
are incredibly wonky by today's standards.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm just waiting for the hue
and cry as people scream out when when Hand shoots
Grido first, and that's that's you know, that's going to
be the moment. That's what makes it worth it at
the end of the days. It if if Lucas hadn't
retconned that that scene and completely flipped it on said.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
No, I agree, and there will be fans that will
be cheering when that scene when that scene shows a
you know, for me, I.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Would like to have the restored scenes with uh Luke
and Ku Stark and the fixer at the Tashi station,
you know, all of all of those things. I want
to the scenes with bigs, you know, you know at
the Tashi station, all of those I would like to
see those put back in.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
But you know that's just me Andrew Langer. Anything that
you would like the listener to go and check out
that you've been involved with late recently.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Yeah, listen. I I have a great interview with Guy
Bentley from Reason that's going to drop today. It's about
the neo temperance movement. Yes, there is a move to
you know, declare that there is no safe serving of alcohol.
It is taking rout in the United States. We may
be seeing the Trump administration say something about it and
(37:18):
so you know, that's a that's a good episode to
watch or and listen to and then if you get
a chance. I was in for Tony Katz last week.
A guy named John Justice came and joined me. You
can go and find that online. That was on Thursday.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Andrew Langer has always man, thank you so much for
the time. Thanks for having me on the other show.
I appreciate it, and we will talk to you one next,
one last time next week before I head off on
on Christmas vacation.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Sounds good. Enjoy man.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Coming up, Tom Homans, that's Dana Bash. Straight after the
CNN host suggests that ICE is targeting migrants based off appearances.
I will play you the audio of doctor Oz and
Andrew mentioned a moment ago calling for walls to address
the systemic fraud. And we'll get your comments from the
iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndahl Realty. Coming up
next on Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and one
(38:06):
oh three five FM.
