Speaker 1 (00:00):
The psylum and if so, when did that happen under
waking administration? And did have already missed any signs either
in the asylum process or even backlog w you work
through the CIA, you could.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Talk about that, Well, you miss all the signs when
you do absolutely zero vetting, then that's exactly what happened
in this case. When you in the prior administration made
the decision to allow thousands of people into this country
without doing a single piece of background checking or vetting,
that's how you miss every single sign. And Secretary Christy
Naum has put out details specifically related to your other questions,
(00:34):
so I'll let that speak for themselves.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
One and Jen, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving
and a great weekend. Absolutely cannot wait to see what
unfolds this week. As TEO once famously said, get your
popcorn right.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You heard Cash Betel in that clip really saying it
perfectly on the bidendministration's betrayal. The suspect in Wednesday's horrific
shooting in Washington, DC is expected to survive, actually had
to go through surgery. That's what a great nation we
(01:14):
are and didn't let that individual die.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
We have a lot of.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Ground to cover on the show this morning, back from
the long Thanksgiving break. My name is John Justice from
the six five to one Carpet Next Day Install studios
here on Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and
one oh three five FM, and the master control booth
is Sam. How bundled up did you get this morning?
Speaker 5 (01:37):
On the drive in?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I thought I was bundled up, and then as soon
as that cold air hit, I realized there wasn't enough.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah, dude, I got my snow boots on today. I didn't.
I didn't do the snow pants. I have a yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So if it's down in single digits, I'll do snow
boots because my feet get called sure, But if we
get below zero, that's when I'm coming in wearing the
snowpants because it gets just as that's just too cold.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Are you going ski? No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I think get cold in the car. I'm just like,
you know what, I'm not gonna bother. I'm just gonna
got nice sick socks on. Nice, and I got my
snow boots on. And we have a lot of stuff
to wade through on the show this morning as well.
So the boots are necessary for an abundance of different reasons.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Tell us what you're from, SOCO without's on this You're
from Soka one percent.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
On the show today, Andrew Langer, president of the Institute
for Liberty, is back after taking a couple of weeks off.
He's been busy. He'll be joining us at six point
thirty this morning. And we do have a lot of
ground to cover today. We have President Donald Trump calling
Tim Walls retarded Walls, responding to that. This, of course
is on top of what will be the major news
(02:47):
story today, and that is regarding not only fraud here
in Minnesota. The New York Times dovetailing off of that
report from City Journal, but of course, heading into Thanksgiving,
this horrific attack that did take place just blocks from
the White House two National Guard soldiers struck, one of
(03:10):
them fatally. The other soldier returned fire injuring and subduing
the suspect that the scene. The unnamed law enforcement official
told The New York Post the Afghan national had undergone
surgery was expected to make a full recovering. And of
course this is prompted President Donald Trump to make moves
wanting to suspend individuals coming in immigrating into the country
(03:32):
from concerned countries, and we'll get into the list of
what those countries are. SPC Sarah Bestrom of West Virginia
did succumb to her injuries. Prayers to her family and friends.
And Andrew Wolf, the other National Guardsman who was shot,
continues to fight for his life. As of this weekend,
(03:53):
Following the news that Bestrom had died, the US attorney
for DC, Janein Periro Jinny Piro, excuse me, announced that
charges against the suspect had been upgraded to include a
first degree murder. We have a lot of audio to
share on the show this morning. Let me go ahead
and start here as well. As I mentioned, you heard
cash Ptel. This was during one of the initial press
(04:15):
conferences in the wake of this earthic shooting that took
place on Wednesday, and then President Donald Trump going off
on the fake news regarding the incident. Here's what the
President had to say about mid last week.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Why do you blame the Biden administration because they let
him in?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Are you stupid?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Are you a stupid person because they came in on
a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn't
be here, And you're just asking questions because you're a
stupid person. And there's a law passed that it's almost
impossible not to get them out. You can't get them
out once they come in. And they came in and
they were unvetted, they were unchecked. There were many of them,
(04:55):
and they came in on big planes and it was disgraceful.
And if you look, we'll see there was a law
pass it makes it almost impossible not to let them in,
not to certify them, so to speak, once they come in,
and they came in, and they shouldn't have come in,
and frankly, the whole thing was a mess. The whole
Afghanistan situation was a mess. We shouldn't it should have
(05:17):
never taken place. If we're going to go out, and
we would have gone out because I had everybody ready
to go. We were going to go out with strength
and dignity and precision, and we would have left from Bagram,
and we would have kept Bogram by the way, because
of its very close relationship to China and where they
make their missiles.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
But when you let the people come in.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
By the thousands and thousands and thousands, they made a
terrible mistake. But they weren't competent.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, and I'll give you details coming up in just
a moment.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
An Afghan national arrested over alleged bomb threat in Texas
and this took place just the day before.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
The shooting in DC.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
There are a number of different national issues right now
that'll be talked about this week and heading into the
Christmas break, and Minnesota is going to be it already is,
but you watch, starting today, Minnesota is going to be
the epicenter of all of this, between the comments, the
war of words between Trump and Walls, the fraud exposure,
(06:19):
the New York Times piece, immigration taking the forefront on
all of these issues. I mean, the ven diagram is
huge regarding all of these different issues with Minnesota right
smack dab in the center, including what I'm hearing and
I'm seeing other reporting as well, the possibility that Trump
is going to make moves this week to ramp up
(06:40):
immigration efforts here in the state. All right, phone number
eight four four nine four six fifty eight fifty five.
You can email me justice at iHeartRadio dot com. And
of course, if you're listening on the iHeartRadio Apple he
was a talkback. We'll get to those throughout the show
this morning, again, back from a vacation precursor to Christmas.
(07:02):
I'm glad you're with the show this morning, and I
look forward to hearing from you here on Twin City's
News Talk.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Good morning, John, Dave, Saint Louis Park. I hope you
had a really wonderful Thanksgiving. Man.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I can't tell you how much we miss you.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
When you're on vacation, Dave, but I miss you.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
We definitely deserve it. Can't wait for the shows.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
This week, the US Department of Homeland Security said investigators
arrested an Afghan national who allegedly made a social media
post about building a bomb and threatened to blow up
a building in Fort Worth, Texas.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The arrest took place.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Of Mohammed Dawood, a La Coose on Tuesday, according to
the Assistant Secretary with DHS in a social media post
on Saturday which said, just one day before the terrorist
attack on our National Guard, another Afghan national, who was
paroled in the US under Biden's Operation Allies Operation Allies
(08:14):
Welcome Excuse Me, was arrested for threatening to blow up
the building in Fort Worth. His arrest on state charges
and is being held in a correction center in Terran County, Texas,
according to the court records. You know the tragedy in
all of this, well, let me let me set it
up this way. The good news is now this is
(08:37):
all the topic of national conversation, whether it's the issue
regarding those that came in under Biden's watch, under the
botched withdrawal of Afghanistan, the issue of immigration, the fraud
here in Minnesota, the focus on the Somalian community that's
(08:59):
involved in this fraud.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
All of this is now national news.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's just unfortunate that it took, and it's taking these
extreme set of circumstances to bring it about. We'll get
into more of Trump's plans regarding what he wants to
do with those that came in under Biden's watch, and honestly,
what needs to happen is there needs to be a
(09:24):
vetting or a revetting. The argument goes that there wasn't
vetting that was done. That was the complaint when so
many individuals were relocated from Afghanistan here to the United States.
So we really need to do is go back to
all of those individuals who are allowed to come into
the country, and all of them need to be re examined,
or perhaps examined for the first time. And as I mentioned,
(09:47):
we'll talk more about this with Andrew Langer when he
joins us just after the bottom half of the of
the hour. Now, also more next hour on this. I
just want to kind of give you a bit of
a preview as we set the table today. Than four
hundred employees with the Minnesota Department of Human Services have
accused Tim Walls of failing to act on the widespread
(10:09):
fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers. So there is a
Minnesota Department of Human Services employees account. It's not an
official account with the state, but it is an account
that claims to be run by some four hundred employees
of DHS here in Minnesota, actually four hundred and eighty
(10:30):
excuse me, current staff members of DHS.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
They wrote on X.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The Walls is one hundred percent responsible for the massive
fraud in Minnesota, and I'm going to run through the
entirety of what they posted next hour. The group does
claim or the group's claims, come as federal prosecutors continue
to unravel one of the nation's largest COVID era fraud
cases and I'm working off an article here from Fox News,
(10:56):
so we once again made national news for all the
wrong reasons. The Justice Department announced new charges just last
week against the seventy eighth defendants in the Feeding Our
Future fraud scheme, which prosecutors say involved more than two
hundred and fifty million in stolen funds. As you know,
many of the individuals a charge come from Minnesota Somali community. Yeah,
(11:17):
that numbers as high as some seventy six percent. Manhattan's
Institute City Journal alleged in a report that we covered
last week, citing unnamed federal counter terrorism sources, that some
of the funds were transferred to Somalia may have ended
up in the terror group Al Shabab. Walles addressed to
the fraud at a press conference last week, saying that
(11:37):
it undermines trust in government and undermines programs that are
absolutely critical in improving the quality of life.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
It's not helpful where the president went beyond fraud and
decided to again target an entire community. Try and extrapolate
from this people who are here legally fleeing civil war,
living in Minnesota. That's not helpful. At the same time,
remember it was this administration that cut our anti terrorism dollars,
our anti fraud stuff on the federal levels, So we
(12:09):
welcome support from folks. We welcome and I will say
the US attorneys here have been incredibly helpful with doing this.
But this is the President distracting from his own problems
of threatening to kill United States senators for expressing the dispassibility.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Of the Constitution. So this is not surprising.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
It's unhelpful. But what I would say is is that
if the President wants to help us on the fraud
sides of things, if he wants to help us with
USDA and other agencies to make sure that they're tightening up,
we welcome that. But what he did was simply stirs
the pot. It brings up the divisions amongst us, and
it doesn't do anything to actually tackle the actual fraud issue,
(12:52):
which we would welcome that help.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
He doesn't want any help from the federal government.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
He's cut off Minnesota from the federal government at every
single chance possible. He's only saying this because he knows
the situation right now and the spotlight is on him,
and we'll do a proper shredding of all of I've
got more audio from Walls to share next hour, and
(13:17):
we'll again do a proper shredding of that, including where
he said, if you're committing fraud, no matter where you
come from, what you look like, what you believe, you're
going to go to jail. And we'll talk more about
this next hour. But keep in mind of the wordplay here.
You know, it's obviously only if you're caught, and that's
the problem. The Walls administration let people get away.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
With this almost in perpetuity.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I was just reading a post online and this was
an older report from Carol Levin.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
An individual who was.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Running a sham business here in Minnesota now has relocated
to Kenya, where he's trying to act as building records.
He had defrauded you some two hundred thousand dollars. The
phone number for the business was zero one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight nine, and the photo included or the website
(14:18):
included just stock photos with no information. But you have
individuals within the Smali community not even trying to hide
the fact that they're putting up bogus businesses and conducting fraud,
and they've been getting away with it for years because
the Walls Administration turned to blind eye, or more specifically,
(14:41):
as we'll get into from DHS and the comments of
the employees, they were simply told, according to allegedly according
to DHS, to just ignore it. And I've had people
that have been reaching out to me this entire year
telling me exactly the same thing.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
We talk about it.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
They're anonymous, but they say, listen, I work inside certain departments,
and I can tell you firsthand. We discover the fraud,
we bring it to the intention, to the attention of
our superiors, and they simply tell us to go and
ignore it. Well, Walls is going to have a tough
time ignoring this now, because not only did we have
(15:23):
the City Journal report, but also last week the New
York Times ran a bombshell report how fraud swamped Minnesota's
a social services system on Tim Walls's watch. Prosecutors say
members of the Somalia diaspora, a group with growing political power,
(15:45):
were largely responsible. President Donald Trump has drawn national attention
to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration, which is
why Minnesota is going to become the epicenter for news
probably from now till the holidays. This is all going
to take center stage now. Trump made other moves last
week as well, including declaring all auto pen signed orders
(16:10):
null and void. We'll talk about that with Andrew Langer,
president of the Institute for Liberty and our regulatory guru. Also,
special election coming up in Tennessee. Will get Andrews's thoughts
on that, and of course we'll hear from you and
the iHeartRadio app this morning. Your talkback's brought to you
by Lyndahl Realty here on Twin City's news Talk Am
eleven thirty and one oh three five FM word radio station.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
It's not helpful where the president went beyond fraud and
decided to again target an entire community, try and extrapolate
that and happened people who are here legally fleeing civil
war living in Minnesota.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
That's not helpful.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
At the same time, remember it was this administration that
cut our anti terrorism dollars, are anti fraud stuff on
the federal level, so we well, we.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Know all that anti all that anti fraud stuff, all
that stuff.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Welcome support from folks, we welcome and I will say
the US attorneys here have been incredibly helpful with doing this.
But this is the president distracting from his own problems
of threatening to kill United States senators for express and.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
We'll stop it there.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I want to get to a few of your thoughts
from the iHeart Radio app and then we'll talk with
Andrew Langer, returning after being busy the past couple of
weeks here on Twin City's News Talk from the sixty
five to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios shining.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
This is mic from Golden Valley. I was just listened
to that message from Tim Walls. It looks like he
took communication classes from Miss Harris. Yeah, it really was.
These This is just a word salad with no substance.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Walls's new nickname should be Governor Gaslight.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I'm not sure if Trump cut any of the anti
fraud funding, as Wallholl says, but a lot of this
happened before Trump even took office here in Minnesota, so
it continues to just be a word selling.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
Tim Walls in that statement and just said it all.
He doesn't have the ability nor does he have the
desire to do the investigations of fraud in this state.
It takes federal dollars, it takes federal employees to do
that investigation. Either he's incompetent or he just doesn't want
(18:27):
to do it. So he says it all you need
to know in that statement.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And that clip was from late last week. He's even
changed his tune a bit with the interview that he did.
This is Governor Tim Walls with Kristen Welker on NBC
and we'll have that audio to share coming up next hour.
Right now though the return of Andrew Langer see PAK
regulatory Guru.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Centered the American not centered the American experiment. Sorry about that.
I got the wrong time for everybody.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
We are experimenting with America. I listen, I'm watching this
Revolution show and I'm I'm experimenting with giving Ken Burns
a piece of my mind. But that's apropos nothing, John,
It's going to be back.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
This has a it's been a wild couple of weeks
since you've been since you've been out. You go back
to two weeks ago, we had the City Journal report
saying that taxpayers here in Minnesota were one of the
largest funders of the al Shabab terrorist network in Somalia.
(19:30):
And then just this week or last week, I should say,
you have the New York Times sort of writing on
the coattails of that particular article, and we had an
ice raiy that took place that we're going to get
an update on later on in the show. But then
the National Guard shooting in in DC and Minnesota is
going to be the epicenter of all the different news
(19:51):
regarding all of these issues, because I'm also hearing Andrew
that there's a high probability that Walls may excuse me,
Donald Trump may end up launching further immigration enforcement like
he has in other states, but here in Minnesota in
the wake of everything that has that has transpired and
been exposed of the course of the past two weeks.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Well, it's really interesting because there's a there's a couple
of different rulemakings that have been happening as this is
going on. There's a one about biometrics and the use
of biometrics and keeping track of immigrants, and there's one
today about about proper vetting for for visa applications. All
you know, not related to what happened in d C
(20:33):
last week. And I, by the way, guys, I apologize
because well more or less, I mean, I'm sorry I
was not able to chat.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
With you all.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
I was I was doing radio in d C.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
But thinking about you all especially as the Alshabob Tim
Waltz story broke. John, I'm sure your ears were burning
because I was talking about trying to get you on
that show. But of course the timing, the timing wouldn't
work out because you're on.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
The air here.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
But but at the end of the day, you know,
and then of course the shooting happens, which was just crazy.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I know that area very well where it happened.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
I used to work right across the square, literally Caddy
Corner is.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
This happened two blocks from the White House and.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
At a place called Farragut Square, and this was at
the southwest corner, and I worked in a building at
the northeast corner of Farragut Square.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
So I know the area very very well, you.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Know, and it's it was obviously stunning insofar as we
were several months into National Guard presence in Washington, d C.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Crime had taken a steep decline.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
I'm much much more comfortable parking my car on the
streets of DC now than I have in a very
long time because of that National Guard presence, and so
to have this happened was obviously shocking, horrifying.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
You know, in search your proper adjective ear.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
And then to sort of find out that this guy
taking a forty hour sojourn across country, we still don't
know everywhere he stopped, We still don't know what kinds
of conversations he had, and.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
I know we know more about him than we do
about Thomas Cooks.
Speaker 11 (22:14):
But nevertheless, you know, these are the things we need
to peel back a little.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
More on well.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
And the you know, the response coming from from the
left regarding this, I just another example of how incapable
Democrats are right now of being rational on these you know,
on these issues that concern all of Americans. It's just
their hatred of this presidency just gets in the way
(22:40):
of anything you know, relating to to common sense.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
And I'm not even.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Talking about sort of the more whacka doodles like you know,
Jasmine Crockett. As a matter of fact, though, just really quick,
since we're talking jazz base, let me let me share
this this clip. As Trump, you know, talks about the
you know, the possibility of individuals coming in from certain
countries of concern, as he says, this is what Jasmin
(23:05):
Crockett had to say, we should be doing over the.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Weekend because if that's the case, let's talk about the
white supremacists and how many of them needs to be
kicked out of this country because I can guarantee you
I can check down more crimes that they've committed, because overall,
immigrants have a lower crime committal rate than white supremacists.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
But we don't want to talk about that in this.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
This woman loves to conflate all kinds of different news
stories and there's a possibility that she could end up.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Running for Senate and I hope, I hope that it happens.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Andrew Langer, Yeah, no, I mean, listen, you know, there
is a whole different mindset that's out there, and some
of it is about gaslighting, some of it is about
perception of reality.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Right, The fundamental question.
Speaker 11 (23:49):
At the end of the day, right, is is it
truly that she believes this to be the case or
is it that she's just perpetuating the lie?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Affirmatively right, Is.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Tim Waltz really believe that it's a lack of federal
funding or is Tim Waltz that prevents this kind of
fraud from occurring?
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Or is it or is it Tim Waltz affirmatively lying?
Speaker 11 (24:13):
And listen, you know, setting aside Jasmine Crockett for a second,
I just thank the Lord that this guy Tim Waltz
is not vice President.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Of the United States right now.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
Gosh, like, we talk about the issue of Kamala Harrison
going into the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and you
know what an unbelievable s show that would be, you know,
with with you know, President word Salad, you know being there.
But imagine, you know, we all thought with Tim Waltz
that that he'd become vice president and we don't uncover
(24:45):
something about him being the Chinese Communist Party sleeper agent.
Right we still don't know about Tim Waltz's relationship with China.
I don't think anybody had on their Bingo card that
Tim Waltz was going to affirmatively be venting or or
it would be uncovered that allegedly Tim Walls was affirmatably
preventing inquiries into fraud in the Minnesota Welfare Services.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
And that money going to the al Qaeda successor. I
don't think. I don't think anybody had that on their
Bengo cards.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
And yet, you know, when you have even the New
York Times saying that there is something rotten in Saint
Paul something.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
You know, clearly this is this is hitting the zeitgeist.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Well, not that I want to re litigate, you know,
his being chosen, you know, being tapped to be Kamala's
running mate, But so much of what we'll be talking
about today that's getting national reporting. This is not new information.
I mean, these are things that we've been talking about
on the show for for years now, being reported by
reputable outlets like Alpha News in American Experiment, but they
(25:52):
haven't reached you know, the upper you know, the upper
echelons of of our media. And I bring that up
because I think it speaks to in how many individuals
did not want to be Kamala Harris's running mate. Walls
was the one who ended up being chosen because any
cursory diving into his background. Even though this information that
(26:14):
we'll be talking about this week wasn't widely reported, this
was still well known in the vetting process, should have
exposed to all of that. It's like he really was
just the one of the last choices that they could
possibly lean into to be Kamala's running mate.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Yeah, yeah, listen, I mean, they we can, we can
put together a fun a fun little list of.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Folks that it could have been. But I think you're
right in that regard.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
I mean when you when you when you know whether
or not it was Josh Shapiro turning them down, or
turning jos Shapiro down or Mark Kelly the same the
same thing.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
And would that have when.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
We've had a field day with Mark Kelly as as
vice president.
Speaker 12 (26:50):
Oh my gosh, you know it's but this is this
is right. It's these stories that everybody knows, especially in
the states where these guys are from.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
It's like everybody knows where the bodies are buried with.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Regards to Wes Moore and Maryland or Gavin Newsom in California.
It's just a matter of getting them, you know, onto
the national radar screen at the right time.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Well, and one more point on this and I'll be
diving more. I've got a lot more audio from Walls
that I will subject the listener to to next hour.
But I'm now more convinced. You know, it's probably sixty
forty that Walls will not be the Democrat nominee for
governor here in Minnesota next year. If everything that was
I was already fifty to fifty on it at this point,
(27:33):
and with the new information that's come out, and I
expect there'll be another candidate announcing today a run, although
I don't know which the leader.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Is it going to be Jacob Bryce.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
I mean it's going to be Jacob.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Now, it's not Minneapolis man baby mayor. I don't know
if the individual is going to be running for an
independent or Republican yet, so we'll find out later on today.
And I can't say who it is, but there are
other individuals that are still going to be announcing a run.
I don't I'm not convinced that Governor Jim Walls ends
up being the nominee next year. It raises the question
of who would it be, to which I don't have
(28:06):
an answer yet. But he's every day he's more and
more damaged, even by his own party, which we'll talk
about next hour.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
The guy's a disaster.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
So we don't want, we don't want Jacob Fry to
be the Democratic noledge.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I don't, I don't want. I don't want Jacob Fry anywhere.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
Except from except because the alternatives in Minneapolis are just
so horrifying, right, I get this, but.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Talking about bullets dodged with Omar Fatte for crying out loud.
Oh my gosh, let's uh yes, let's turn our attention
over to this. On Friday, President Donald Trump, working off
of the version here as we talk with Andrew Langer
from The Daily Wire, detonated a political thunderclap declaring that
any document former President Joe Biden signed with the auto
(28:50):
pen is null and void, a sweeping reversal that, by
Trump's account, would wipe out roughly ninety two percent of
Biden's executive action.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Now, I expect that this.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Is going to become a topic of discussion now that
we're done with the weekend. But I'm wondering where the
challenges will be coming from, because there obviously will be
challenges to this, and whether or not and whether or
not let me and one more thing, and whether or
not this is simply just another attention grabbing maneuver by Trump,
much in the same way that he talked about wanting
(29:23):
to get rid of the temporary protected status here in Minnesota,
which was clearly designed to bring the topic to the
top of the news media forefront.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Well, let's let's start with the executive orders, right, Any
president can wipe away any prior president's executive order.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
That's the nature of the beast.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
And you know, Biden did it, you know, with so
many executive orders when he took over in January of
twenty twenty one. I mean, this was the one hundred
different what was it ninety six different executive orders on
immigration that Joe Biden got rid of. There were all
kinds of things about regulatory transparency and accountability that the
(29:59):
President Trump had to put into place that Joe Biden
wiped away with. And as we said, so obviously Donald
Trump has the power uh to deal with the executive
order problem.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
That that's that's easily done.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
The issue of pardons gets a little bit more thorny,
and what you do. You know, whether or not that
toothpaste can be put back in the tube, you know
what what happens there. So you know, that's where the
challenge is going to come in. It's going to be
on that kind of the thing. But the most importantly,
right it comes down to this, uh, this investigation into
(30:35):
just what Biden's mental state was, what his capacity was.
And we say this as the left continues to press
on whether or not Donald Trump is mentally incapacitated. Right,
As we've talked about before I was doing the radio
fillin work. You know, we no longer have the wheel
of Trump, right, It's no longer they spin the wheel
every week and that's the theme of the week.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Trump is incompetent, Trump is a fascist. They're they're not there.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
They're sort of trying to do all of it at
the same time and not doing any of it particularly well.
Because Donald Trump is really able to take the high
point of the narrative and set the tone right, He's he's.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Been very good at that. But we have to know
at the end of the day, you know what was
going on. Listen.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
We didn't even put this in your prep, John, but
you know, and we now have found out. But listen,
one of my favorite stories of out of the whole
by Biden administration was this idea that Hunter Biden was
quote unquote selling artwork, right, which to me was a
brilliant dodge on the part of politicians out there.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Right, if you're a politician and.
Speaker 11 (31:43):
You want to get around campaign finance limits, just start
doing artwork and selling it to donors, right, I mean,
that's that's that's what you can do.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Now.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
It turns out, by the way, Hunter Biden didn't even
do the art work that he was selling that he
was having somebody else do the artwork, and he was
selling it as his own, right. I mean, it's second
in state level of the dude, Jackson Pollock showed you
no one, no one's saying you need to be Leroy Neiman.
(32:14):
You know, no one's saying you need to be Rembrandt.
You know, you just put some paint spotters on. Seriously, Yeah, yeah,
I mean you talk about lazy, and so, you know, we.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Just we need to know we listen, I'll come back
to it.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
We still need to know what was going on with
Hillary Clinton and her chief aids and the Clinton Foundation,
because at the the American taxpayer has a right to
know that their politicians are not.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Abusing the power of the office.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
And I get it, guys, I know the the what
about us on the left are going to say, well,
what about uh, the the Trump kids and the licensing
of of of fashion lines and what about the dealings
with Saudi your Ibia.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Fine, I have no problem investigating that.
Speaker 11 (32:58):
Go ahead, yeah, you know, if there was any there
there by the way, real quick, because I.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Know we're run out of time.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
Uh, some entity called Jmail j M A I L
like Gmail has created ail, a Gmail version of Jeffrey
Epstein's emails. Don't go down that rabbit hole it is.
I'm telling you by that, I mean go down the
rabbit hole. It is a crazy It's jmail dot com.
(33:26):
And you can go and search through all of the
Jeffrey Epstein emails that have been released so far. And
I want to know why, why Steve, Why Steve Bannon
was so cozy with Jeffrey Epstein, you know, And I
don't mean that in the sense of that Steve Benna
was going to Epstein Island. I mean, why is this
(33:48):
guy meeting with Jeffrey Epstein in the first place. Is
it just kind of a massive ropidope. But you know,
you know, Laurence Summers, Ahud Barack, other sort of your Democrats,
it's a rabbit hole that you can easily get dragged
down into.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Let's wrap on this just briefly. President Donald Trump did
issue a forceful call to action ahead of tomorrow's a
special election in Tennessee, urging America First Patriots who have
not yet voted to turn out for candidate Matt Van Epps. Now,
I didn't put a lot of stock in the results
of the elections that took place just recently. That being said,
(34:30):
if this Nashville Democrat Afton Bean ends up winning this election,
that's not good news. I can't believe that this race.
I know the Democrats are pouring millions of dollars into
this race, but this woman is a walking disaster and
I cannot believe that she is this close in the polls.
I mean, I can, but you understand what I'm saying, Andrew.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
I can't listen.
Speaker 11 (34:52):
I can't wait for her to come to Washington, DC.
I mean, you know, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
I mean, the real issue is, you know, the the
mark we because you know we were not talking the
Marjorie Taylor Green resignation announcement. I mean, and to come
literally at the five year anniversary of her of her ascendants,
(35:13):
you know, so she can get the pension. It's like,
you know something, Just stick it out and do your
job and stop being a royal pain in the butt
and making it all about yourself.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Andrew Langer, thank you so much for joining us once again.
To miss you in the past couple of weeks. So
what would you like the listener to go in check
out listen.
Speaker 11 (35:30):
Great new episodes of the Federal Newswires launch, our podcast
are out, talk about regulations, and you know something, I
put it out on Twitter.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
I'll put it out again.
Speaker 11 (35:39):
I did an interview last week with Dean Butler, who
played Almonzo Wilder on Little House in the Prairie. Lots
of fun little house stuff going on right now. Especially
you know something for all of you in Minnesota, because
there's such a connection to the Ingles family in Minnesota.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Go go and check those out.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
Completely appropriate.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Andrew Langer, president of the Institute for Liberty, as always, buddy,
great talking with you, and hopefully we'll speak again next week.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
He'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Then coming up, Trump called Minnesota Governor Tim Walls seriously retarded.
This will begin our discussion on the back and forth
between Walls and President Donald Trump. And of course all
of the news that broke over the long Thanksgiving week
regarding immigration and fraud here in Minnesota. It's all coming
up on Twin Cities News Talk AM eleven thirty and
(36:25):
one oh three five FM.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
They have what's called a Trump derangement problem. Have you
heard about that problem
The psylum and if so, when did that happen under
waking administration? And did have already missed any signs either
in the asylum process or even backlog w you work
through the CIA, you could.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Talk about that, Well, you miss all the signs when
you do absolutely zero vetting, then that's exactly what happened
in this case. When you in the prior administration made
the decision to allow thousands of people into this country
without doing a single piece of background checking or vetting,
that's how you miss every single sign. And Secretary Christy
Naum has put out details specifically related to your other questions,
(00:34):
so I'll let that speak for themselves.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
One and Jen, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving
and a great weekend. Absolutely cannot wait to see what
unfolds this week. As TEO once famously said, get your
popcorn right.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You heard Cash Betel in that clip really saying it
perfectly on the bidendministration's betrayal. The suspect in Wednesday's horrific
shooting in Washington, DC is expected to survive, actually had
to go through surgery. That's what a great nation we
(01:14):
are and didn't let that individual die.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
We have a lot of.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Ground to cover on the show this morning, back from
the long Thanksgiving break. My name is John Justice from
the six five to one Carpet Next Day Install studios
here on Twin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and
one oh three five FM, and the master control booth
is Sam. How bundled up did you get this morning?
Speaker 5 (01:37):
On the drive in?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I thought I was bundled up, and then as soon
as that cold air hit, I realized there wasn't enough.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah, dude, I got my snow boots on today. I didn't.
I didn't do the snow pants. I have a yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So if it's down in single digits, I'll do snow
boots because my feet get called sure, But if we
get below zero, that's when I'm coming in wearing the
snowpants because it gets just as that's just too cold.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Are you going ski? No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I think get cold in the car. I'm just like,
you know what, I'm not gonna bother. I'm just gonna
got nice sick socks on. Nice, and I got my
snow boots on. And we have a lot of stuff
to wade through on the show this morning as well.
So the boots are necessary for an abundance of different reasons.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Tell us what you're from, SOCO without's on this You're
from Soka one percent.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
On the show today, Andrew Langer, president of the Institute
for Liberty, is back after taking a couple of weeks off.
He's been busy. He'll be joining us at six point
thirty this morning. And we do have a lot of
ground to cover today. We have President Donald Trump calling
Tim Walls retarded Walls, responding to that. This, of course
is on top of what will be the major news
(02:47):
story today, and that is regarding not only fraud here
in Minnesota. The New York Times dovetailing off of that
report from City Journal, but of course, heading into Thanksgiving,
this horrific attack that did take place just blocks from
the White House two National Guard soldiers struck, one of
(03:10):
them fatally. The other soldier returned fire injuring and subduing
the suspect that the scene. The unnamed law enforcement official
told The New York Post the Afghan national had undergone
surgery was expected to make a full recovering. And of
course this is prompted President Donald Trump to make moves
wanting to suspend individuals coming in immigrating into the country
(03:32):
from concerned countries, and we'll get into the list of
what those countries are. SPC Sarah Bestrom of West Virginia
did succumb to her injuries. Prayers to her family and friends.
And Andrew Wolf, the other National Guardsman who was shot,
continues to fight for his life. As of this weekend,
(03:53):
Following the news that Bestrom had died, the US attorney
for DC, Janein Periro Jinny Piro, excuse me, announced that
charges against the suspect had been upgraded to include a
first degree murder. We have a lot of audio to
share on the show this morning. Let me go ahead
and start here as well. As I mentioned, you heard
cash Ptel. This was during one of the initial press
(04:15):
conferences in the wake of this earthic shooting that took
place on Wednesday, and then President Donald Trump going off
on the fake news regarding the incident. Here's what the
President had to say about mid last week.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Why do you blame the Biden administration because they let
him in?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Are you stupid?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Are you a stupid person because they came in on
a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn't
be here, And you're just asking questions because you're a
stupid person. And there's a law passed that it's almost
impossible not to get them out. You can't get them
out once they come in. And they came in and
they were unvetted, they were unchecked. There were many of them,
(04:55):
and they came in on big planes and it was disgraceful.
And if you look, we'll see there was a law
pass it makes it almost impossible not to let them in,
not to certify them, so to speak, once they come in,
and they came in, and they shouldn't have come in,
and frankly, the whole thing was a mess. The whole
Afghanistan situation was a mess. We shouldn't it should have
(05:17):
never taken place. If we're going to go out, and
we would have gone out because I had everybody ready
to go. We were going to go out with strength
and dignity and precision, and we would have left from Bagram,
and we would have kept Bogram by the way, because
of its very close relationship to China and where they
make their missiles.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
But when you let the people come in.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
By the thousands and thousands and thousands, they made a
terrible mistake. But they weren't competent.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, and I'll give you details coming up in just
a moment.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
An Afghan national arrested over alleged bomb threat in Texas
and this took place just the day before.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
The shooting in DC.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
There are a number of different national issues right now
that'll be talked about this week and heading into the
Christmas break, and Minnesota is going to be it already is,
but you watch, starting today, Minnesota is going to be
the epicenter of all of this, between the comments, the
war of words between Trump and Walls, the fraud exposure,
(06:19):
the New York Times piece, immigration taking the forefront on
all of these issues. I mean, the ven diagram is
huge regarding all of these different issues with Minnesota right
smack dab in the center, including what I'm hearing and
I'm seeing other reporting as well, the possibility that Trump
is going to make moves this week to ramp up
(06:40):
immigration efforts here in the state. All right, phone number
eight four four nine four six fifty eight fifty five.
You can email me justice at iHeartRadio dot com. And
of course, if you're listening on the iHeartRadio Apple he
was a talkback. We'll get to those throughout the show
this morning, again, back from a vacation precursor to Christmas.
(07:02):
I'm glad you're with the show this morning, and I
look forward to hearing from you here on Twin City's
News Talk.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Good morning, John, Dave, Saint Louis Park. I hope you
had a really wonderful Thanksgiving. Man.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I can't tell you how much we miss you.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
When you're on vacation, Dave, but I miss you.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
We definitely deserve it. Can't wait for the shows.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
This week, the US Department of Homeland Security said investigators
arrested an Afghan national who allegedly made a social media
post about building a bomb and threatened to blow up
a building in Fort Worth, Texas.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The arrest took place.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Of Mohammed Dawood, a La Coose on Tuesday, according to
the Assistant Secretary with DHS in a social media post
on Saturday which said, just one day before the terrorist
attack on our National Guard, another Afghan national, who was
paroled in the US under Biden's Operation Allies Operation Allies
(08:14):
Welcome Excuse Me, was arrested for threatening to blow up
the building in Fort Worth. His arrest on state charges
and is being held in a correction center in Terran County, Texas,
according to the court records. You know the tragedy in
all of this, well, let me let me set it
up this way. The good news is now this is
(08:37):
all the topic of national conversation, whether it's the issue
regarding those that came in under Biden's watch, under the
botched withdrawal of Afghanistan, the issue of immigration, the fraud
here in Minnesota, the focus on the Somalian community that's
(08:59):
involved in this fraud.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
All of this is now national news.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's just unfortunate that it took, and it's taking these
extreme set of circumstances to bring it about. We'll get
into more of Trump's plans regarding what he wants to
do with those that came in under Biden's watch, and honestly,
what needs to happen is there needs to be a
(09:24):
vetting or a revetting. The argument goes that there wasn't
vetting that was done. That was the complaint when so
many individuals were relocated from Afghanistan here to the United States.
So we really need to do is go back to
all of those individuals who are allowed to come into
the country, and all of them need to be re examined,
or perhaps examined for the first time. And as I mentioned,
(09:47):
we'll talk more about this with Andrew Langer when he
joins us just after the bottom half of the of
the hour. Now, also more next hour on this. I
just want to kind of give you a bit of
a preview as we set the table today. Than four
hundred employees with the Minnesota Department of Human Services have
accused Tim Walls of failing to act on the widespread
(10:09):
fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers. So there is a
Minnesota Department of Human Services employees account. It's not an
official account with the state, but it is an account
that claims to be run by some four hundred employees
of DHS here in Minnesota, actually four hundred and eighty
(10:30):
excuse me, current staff members of DHS.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
They wrote on X.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The Walls is one hundred percent responsible for the massive
fraud in Minnesota, and I'm going to run through the
entirety of what they posted next hour. The group does
claim or the group's claims, come as federal prosecutors continue
to unravel one of the nation's largest COVID era fraud
cases and I'm working off an article here from Fox News,
(10:56):
so we once again made national news for all the
wrong reasons. The Justice Department announced new charges just last
week against the seventy eighth defendants in the Feeding Our
Future fraud scheme, which prosecutors say involved more than two
hundred and fifty million in stolen funds. As you know,
many of the individuals a charge come from Minnesota Somali community. Yeah,
(11:17):
that numbers as high as some seventy six percent. Manhattan's
Institute City Journal alleged in a report that we covered
last week, citing unnamed federal counter terrorism sources, that some
of the funds were transferred to Somalia may have ended
up in the terror group Al Shabab. Walles addressed to
the fraud at a press conference last week, saying that
(11:37):
it undermines trust in government and undermines programs that are
absolutely critical in improving the quality of life.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
It's not helpful where the president went beyond fraud and
decided to again target an entire community. Try and extrapolate
from this people who are here legally fleeing civil war,
living in Minnesota. That's not helpful. At the same time,
remember it was this administration that cut our anti terrorism dollars,
our anti fraud stuff on the federal levels, So we
(12:09):
welcome support from folks. We welcome and I will say
the US attorneys here have been incredibly helpful with doing this.
But this is the President distracting from his own problems
of threatening to kill United States senators for expressing the dispassibility.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Of the Constitution. So this is not surprising.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
It's unhelpful. But what I would say is is that
if the President wants to help us on the fraud
sides of things, if he wants to help us with
USDA and other agencies to make sure that they're tightening up,
we welcome that. But what he did was simply stirs
the pot. It brings up the divisions amongst us, and
it doesn't do anything to actually tackle the actual fraud issue,
(12:52):
which we would welcome that help.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
He doesn't want any help from the federal government.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
He's cut off Minnesota from the federal government at every
single chance possible. He's only saying this because he knows
the situation right now and the spotlight is on him,
and we'll do a proper shredding of all of I've
got more audio from Walls to share next hour, and
(13:17):
we'll again do a proper shredding of that, including where
he said, if you're committing fraud, no matter where you
come from, what you look like, what you believe, you're
going to go to jail. And we'll talk more about
this next hour. But keep in mind of the wordplay here.
You know, it's obviously only if you're caught, and that's
the problem. The Walls administration let people get away.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
With this almost in perpetuity.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I was just reading a post online and this was
an older report from Carol Levin.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
An individual who was.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Running a sham business here in Minnesota now has relocated
to Kenya, where he's trying to act as building records.
He had defrauded you some two hundred thousand dollars. The
phone number for the business was zero one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight nine, and the photo included or the website
(14:18):
included just stock photos with no information. But you have
individuals within the Smali community not even trying to hide
the fact that they're putting up bogus businesses and conducting fraud,
and they've been getting away with it for years because
the Walls Administration turned to blind eye, or more specifically,
(14:41):
as we'll get into from DHS and the comments of
the employees, they were simply told, according to allegedly according
to DHS, to just ignore it. And I've had people
that have been reaching out to me this entire year
telling me exactly the same thing.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
We talk about it.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
They're anonymous, but they say, listen, I work inside certain departments,
and I can tell you firsthand. We discover the fraud,
we bring it to the intention, to the attention of
our superiors, and they simply tell us to go and
ignore it. Well, Walls is going to have a tough
time ignoring this now, because not only did we have
(15:23):
the City Journal report, but also last week the New
York Times ran a bombshell report how fraud swamped Minnesota's
a social services system on Tim Walls's watch. Prosecutors say
members of the Somalia diaspora, a group with growing political power,
(15:45):
were largely responsible. President Donald Trump has drawn national attention
to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration, which is
why Minnesota is going to become the epicenter for news
probably from now till the holidays. This is all going
to take center stage now. Trump made other moves last
week as well, including declaring all auto pen signed orders
(16:10):
null and void. We'll talk about that with Andrew Langer,
president of the Institute for Liberty and our regulatory guru. Also,
special election coming up in Tennessee. Will get Andrews's thoughts
on that, and of course we'll hear from you and
the iHeartRadio app this morning. Your talkback's brought to you
by Lyndahl Realty here on Twin City's news Talk Am
eleven thirty and one oh three five FM word radio station.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
It's not helpful where the president went beyond fraud and
decided to again target an entire community, try and extrapolate
that and happened people who are here legally fleeing civil
war living in Minnesota.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
That's not helpful.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
At the same time, remember it was this administration that
cut our anti terrorism dollars, are anti fraud stuff on
the federal level, so we well, we.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Know all that anti all that anti fraud stuff, all
that stuff.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Welcome support from folks, we welcome and I will say
the US attorneys here have been incredibly helpful with doing this.
But this is the president distracting from his own problems
of threatening to kill United States senators for express and.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
We'll stop it there.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I want to get to a few of your thoughts
from the iHeart Radio app and then we'll talk with
Andrew Langer, returning after being busy the past couple of
weeks here on Twin City's News Talk from the sixty
five to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios shining.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
This is mic from Golden Valley. I was just listened
to that message from Tim Walls. It looks like he
took communication classes from Miss Harris. Yeah, it really was.
These This is just a word salad with no substance.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Walls's new nickname should be Governor Gaslight.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I'm not sure if Trump cut any of the anti
fraud funding, as Wallholl says, but a lot of this
happened before Trump even took office here in Minnesota, so
it continues to just be a word selling.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
Tim Walls in that statement and just said it all.
He doesn't have the ability nor does he have the
desire to do the investigations of fraud in this state.
It takes federal dollars, it takes federal employees to do
that investigation. Either he's incompetent or he just doesn't want
(18:27):
to do it. So he says it all you need
to know in that statement.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And that clip was from late last week. He's even
changed his tune a bit with the interview that he did.
This is Governor Tim Walls with Kristen Welker on NBC
and we'll have that audio to share coming up next hour.
Right now though the return of Andrew Langer see PAK
regulatory Guru.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Centered the American not centered the American experiment. Sorry about that.
I got the wrong time for everybody.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
We are experimenting with America. I listen, I'm watching this
Revolution show and I'm I'm experimenting with giving Ken Burns
a piece of my mind. But that's apropos nothing, John,
It's going to be back.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
This has a it's been a wild couple of weeks
since you've been since you've been out. You go back
to two weeks ago, we had the City Journal report
saying that taxpayers here in Minnesota were one of the
largest funders of the al Shabab terrorist network in Somalia.
(19:30):
And then just this week or last week, I should say,
you have the New York Times sort of writing on
the coattails of that particular article, and we had an
ice raiy that took place that we're going to get
an update on later on in the show. But then
the National Guard shooting in in DC and Minnesota is
going to be the epicenter of all the different news
(19:51):
regarding all of these issues, because I'm also hearing Andrew
that there's a high probability that Walls may excuse me,
Donald Trump may end up launching further immigration enforcement like
he has in other states, but here in Minnesota in
the wake of everything that has that has transpired and
been exposed of the course of the past two weeks.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Well, it's really interesting because there's a there's a couple
of different rulemakings that have been happening as this is
going on. There's a one about biometrics and the use
of biometrics and keeping track of immigrants, and there's one
today about about proper vetting for for visa applications. All
you know, not related to what happened in d C
(20:33):
last week. And I, by the way, guys, I apologize
because well more or less, I mean, I'm sorry I
was not able to chat.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
With you all.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
I was I was doing radio in d C.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
But thinking about you all especially as the Alshabob Tim
Waltz story broke. John, I'm sure your ears were burning
because I was talking about trying to get you on
that show. But of course the timing, the timing wouldn't
work out because you're on.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
The air here.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
But but at the end of the day, you know,
and then of course the shooting happens, which was just crazy.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I know that area very well where it happened.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
I used to work right across the square, literally Caddy
Corner is.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
This happened two blocks from the White House and.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
At a place called Farragut Square, and this was at
the southwest corner, and I worked in a building at
the northeast corner of Farragut Square.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
So I know the area very very well, you.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Know, and it's it was obviously stunning insofar as we
were several months into National Guard presence in Washington, d C.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Crime had taken a steep decline.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
I'm much much more comfortable parking my car on the
streets of DC now than I have in a very
long time because of that National Guard presence, and so
to have this happened was obviously shocking, horrifying.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
You know, in search your proper adjective ear.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
And then to sort of find out that this guy
taking a forty hour sojourn across country, we still don't
know everywhere he stopped, We still don't know what kinds
of conversations he had, and.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
I know we know more about him than we do
about Thomas Cooks.
Speaker 11 (22:14):
But nevertheless, you know, these are the things we need
to peel back a little.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
More on well.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
And the you know, the response coming from from the
left regarding this, I just another example of how incapable
Democrats are right now of being rational on these you know,
on these issues that concern all of Americans. It's just
their hatred of this presidency just gets in the way
(22:40):
of anything you know, relating to to common sense.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
And I'm not even.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Talking about sort of the more whacka doodles like you know,
Jasmine Crockett. As a matter of fact, though, just really quick,
since we're talking jazz base, let me let me share
this this clip. As Trump, you know, talks about the
you know, the possibility of individuals coming in from certain
countries of concern, as he says, this is what Jasmin
(23:05):
Crockett had to say, we should be doing over the.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Weekend because if that's the case, let's talk about the
white supremacists and how many of them needs to be
kicked out of this country because I can guarantee you
I can check down more crimes that they've committed, because overall,
immigrants have a lower crime committal rate than white supremacists.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
But we don't want to talk about that in this.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
This woman loves to conflate all kinds of different news
stories and there's a possibility that she could end up.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Running for Senate and I hope, I hope that it happens.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Andrew Langer, Yeah, no, I mean, listen, you know, there
is a whole different mindset that's out there, and some
of it is about gaslighting, some of it is about
perception of reality.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Right, The fundamental question.
Speaker 11 (23:49):
At the end of the day, right, is is it
truly that she believes this to be the case or
is it that she's just perpetuating the lie?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Affirmatively right, Is.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Tim Waltz really believe that it's a lack of federal
funding or is Tim Waltz that prevents this kind of
fraud from occurring?
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Or is it or is it Tim Waltz affirmatively lying?
Speaker 11 (24:13):
And listen, you know, setting aside Jasmine Crockett for a second,
I just thank the Lord that this guy Tim Waltz
is not vice President.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Of the United States right now.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
Gosh, like, we talk about the issue of Kamala Harrison
going into the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and you
know what an unbelievable s show that would be, you know,
with with you know, President word Salad, you know being there.
But imagine, you know, we all thought with Tim Waltz
that that he'd become vice president and we don't uncover
(24:45):
something about him being the Chinese Communist Party sleeper agent.
Right we still don't know about Tim Waltz's relationship with China.
I don't think anybody had on their Bingo card that
Tim Waltz was going to affirmatively be venting or or
it would be uncovered that allegedly Tim Walls was affirmatably
preventing inquiries into fraud in the Minnesota Welfare Services.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
And that money going to the al Qaeda successor. I
don't think. I don't think anybody had that on their
Bengo cards.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
And yet, you know, when you have even the New
York Times saying that there is something rotten in Saint
Paul something.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
You know, clearly this is this is hitting the zeitgeist.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Well, not that I want to re litigate, you know,
his being chosen, you know, being tapped to be Kamala's
running mate, But so much of what we'll be talking
about today that's getting national reporting. This is not new information.
I mean, these are things that we've been talking about
on the show for for years now, being reported by
reputable outlets like Alpha News in American Experiment, but they
(25:52):
haven't reached you know, the upper you know, the upper
echelons of of our media. And I bring that up
because I think it speaks to in how many individuals
did not want to be Kamala Harris's running mate. Walls
was the one who ended up being chosen because any
cursory diving into his background. Even though this information that
(26:14):
we'll be talking about this week wasn't widely reported, this
was still well known in the vetting process, should have
exposed to all of that. It's like he really was
just the one of the last choices that they could
possibly lean into to be Kamala's running mate.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Yeah, yeah, listen, I mean, they we can, we can
put together a fun a fun little list of.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Folks that it could have been. But I think you're
right in that regard.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
I mean when you when you when you know whether
or not it was Josh Shapiro turning them down, or
turning jos Shapiro down or Mark Kelly the same the
same thing.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
And would that have when.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
We've had a field day with Mark Kelly as as
vice president.
Speaker 12 (26:50):
Oh my gosh, you know it's but this is this
is right. It's these stories that everybody knows, especially in
the states where these guys are from.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
It's like everybody knows where the bodies are buried with.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Regards to Wes Moore and Maryland or Gavin Newsom in California.
It's just a matter of getting them, you know, onto
the national radar screen at the right time.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Well, and one more point on this and I'll be
diving more. I've got a lot more audio from Walls
that I will subject the listener to to next hour.
But I'm now more convinced. You know, it's probably sixty
forty that Walls will not be the Democrat nominee for
governor here in Minnesota next year. If everything that was
I was already fifty to fifty on it at this point,
(27:33):
and with the new information that's come out, and I
expect there'll be another candidate announcing today a run, although
I don't know which the leader.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Is it going to be Jacob Bryce.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
I mean it's going to be Jacob.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Now, it's not Minneapolis man baby mayor. I don't know
if the individual is going to be running for an
independent or Republican yet, so we'll find out later on today.
And I can't say who it is, but there are
other individuals that are still going to be announcing a run.
I don't I'm not convinced that Governor Jim Walls ends
up being the nominee next year. It raises the question
of who would it be, to which I don't have
(28:06):
an answer yet. But he's every day he's more and
more damaged, even by his own party, which we'll talk
about next hour.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
The guy's a disaster.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
So we don't want, we don't want Jacob Fry to
be the Democratic noledge.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I don't, I don't want. I don't want Jacob Fry anywhere.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
Except from except because the alternatives in Minneapolis are just
so horrifying, right, I get this, but.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Talking about bullets dodged with Omar Fatte for crying out loud.
Oh my gosh, let's uh yes, let's turn our attention
over to this. On Friday, President Donald Trump, working off
of the version here as we talk with Andrew Langer
from The Daily Wire, detonated a political thunderclap declaring that
any document former President Joe Biden signed with the auto
(28:50):
pen is null and void, a sweeping reversal that, by
Trump's account, would wipe out roughly ninety two percent of
Biden's executive action.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Now, I expect that this.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Is going to become a topic of discussion now that
we're done with the weekend. But I'm wondering where the
challenges will be coming from, because there obviously will be
challenges to this, and whether or not and whether or
not let me and one more thing, and whether or
not this is simply just another attention grabbing maneuver by Trump,
much in the same way that he talked about wanting
(29:23):
to get rid of the temporary protected status here in Minnesota,
which was clearly designed to bring the topic to the
top of the news media forefront.
Speaker 11 (29:32):
Well, let's let's start with the executive orders, right, Any
president can wipe away any prior president's executive order.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
That's the nature of the beast.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
And you know, Biden did it, you know, with so
many executive orders when he took over in January of
twenty twenty one. I mean, this was the one hundred
different what was it ninety six different executive orders on
immigration that Joe Biden got rid of. There were all
kinds of things about regulatory transparency and accountability that the
(29:59):
President Trump had to put into place that Joe Biden
wiped away with. And as we said, so obviously Donald
Trump has the power uh to deal with the executive
order problem.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
That that's that's easily done.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
The issue of pardons gets a little bit more thorny,
and what you do. You know, whether or not that
toothpaste can be put back in the tube, you know
what what happens there. So you know, that's where the
challenge is going to come in. It's going to be
on that kind of the thing. But the most importantly,
right it comes down to this, uh, this investigation into
(30:35):
just what Biden's mental state was, what his capacity was.
And we say this as the left continues to press
on whether or not Donald Trump is mentally incapacitated. Right,
As we've talked about before I was doing the radio
fillin work. You know, we no longer have the wheel
of Trump, right, It's no longer they spin the wheel
every week and that's the theme of the week.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Trump is incompetent, Trump is a fascist. They're they're not there.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
They're sort of trying to do all of it at
the same time and not doing any of it particularly well.
Because Donald Trump is really able to take the high
point of the narrative and set the tone right, He's he's.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Been very good at that. But we have to know
at the end of the day, you know what was
going on. Listen.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
We didn't even put this in your prep, John, but
you know, and we now have found out. But listen,
one of my favorite stories of out of the whole
by Biden administration was this idea that Hunter Biden was
quote unquote selling artwork, right, which to me was a
brilliant dodge on the part of politicians out there.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Right, if you're a politician and.
Speaker 11 (31:43):
You want to get around campaign finance limits, just start
doing artwork and selling it to donors, right, I mean,
that's that's that's what you can do.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Now.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
It turns out, by the way, Hunter Biden didn't even
do the art work that he was selling that he
was having somebody else do the artwork, and he was
selling it as his own, right. I mean, it's second
in state level of the dude, Jackson Pollock showed you
no one, no one's saying you need to be Leroy Neiman.
(32:14):
You know, no one's saying you need to be Rembrandt.
You know, you just put some paint spotters on. Seriously, Yeah, yeah,
I mean you talk about lazy, and so, you know, we.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Just we need to know we listen, I'll come back
to it.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
We still need to know what was going on with
Hillary Clinton and her chief aids and the Clinton Foundation,
because at the the American taxpayer has a right to
know that their politicians are not.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Abusing the power of the office.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
And I get it, guys, I know the the what
about us on the left are going to say, well,
what about uh, the the Trump kids and the licensing
of of of fashion lines and what about the dealings
with Saudi your Ibia.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Fine, I have no problem investigating that.
Speaker 11 (32:58):
Go ahead, yeah, you know, if there was any there
there by the way, real quick, because I.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Know we're run out of time.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
Uh, some entity called Jmail j M A I L
like Gmail has created ail, a Gmail version of Jeffrey
Epstein's emails. Don't go down that rabbit hole it is.
I'm telling you by that, I mean go down the
rabbit hole. It is a crazy It's jmail dot com.
(33:26):
And you can go and search through all of the
Jeffrey Epstein emails that have been released so far. And
I want to know why, why Steve, Why Steve Bannon
was so cozy with Jeffrey Epstein, you know, And I
don't mean that in the sense of that Steve Benna
was going to Epstein Island. I mean, why is this
(33:48):
guy meeting with Jeffrey Epstein in the first place. Is
it just kind of a massive ropidope. But you know,
you know, Laurence Summers, Ahud Barack, other sort of your Democrats,
it's a rabbit hole that you can easily get dragged
down into.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Let's wrap on this just briefly. President Donald Trump did
issue a forceful call to action ahead of tomorrow's a
special election in Tennessee, urging America First Patriots who have
not yet voted to turn out for candidate Matt Van Epps. Now,
I didn't put a lot of stock in the results
of the elections that took place just recently. That being said,
(34:30):
if this Nashville Democrat Afton Bean ends up winning this election,
that's not good news. I can't believe that this race.
I know the Democrats are pouring millions of dollars into
this race, but this woman is a walking disaster and
I cannot believe that she is this close in the polls.
I mean, I can, but you understand what I'm saying, Andrew.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
I can't listen.
Speaker 11 (34:52):
I can't wait for her to come to Washington, DC.
I mean, you know, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
I mean, the real issue is, you know, the the
mark we because you know we were not talking the
Marjorie Taylor Green resignation announcement. I mean, and to come
literally at the five year anniversary of her of her ascendants,
(35:13):
you know, so she can get the pension. It's like,
you know something, Just stick it out and do your
job and stop being a royal pain in the butt
and making it all about yourself.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Andrew Langer, thank you so much for joining us once again.
To miss you in the past couple of weeks. So
what would you like the listener to go in check

played Almonzo Wilder on Little House in the Prairie. Lots
of fun little house stuff going on right now. Especially

there's such a connection to the Ingles family in Minnesota.

between Walls and President Donald Trump. And of course all
of the news that broke over the long Thanksgiving week
regarding immigration and fraud here in Minnesota. It's all coming

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
