Speaker 1 (00:15):
But to City's news Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Am eleven thirty one O three five FM, ICE agents
left the pro text yesterday afternoon, and as they did,
Angela deeb knelt on the pavement, comforted by other protesters
as she recovered from being pepper sprayed by one of
the federal agents, saying, I was kind of in her face.
(00:42):
This would be Angela talking about the agent. I was
at her window and I was telling her, you're teaching
your kids to be racist. I said that, Deep said,
I said that in her window, and some dude came
up and he pushed me and I got sprayed. It
was worth it, she said, because I wouldn't be here
it wasn't for immigrants.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You know what I'm just going to give af You're
fascinating to talk to.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Federal agents confronted by protesters during operation at Saint Paul Company.
I don't know about you, but this is what I
voted for, holding people accountable for their actions. I'm as
curious as anybody else, and I'm sure we'll get the
details as to the individuals that were arrested. In the
(01:30):
background of these individuals, but therein lies the point, and
that is these protesters. They're essentially aligning with individuals who
are being legitimately arrested for crimes without even knowing what
it is that they're being arrested for.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's folly.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's pure folly, all driven by politics, because it doesn't
matter what these individuals did. I mean, as we demonstrate
the first part of the show, you have Democrats texting
with known pedophiles in attempts to get an advantage during
(02:12):
congressional hearings when they're talking about Trump. That's the links
that they will go to try to go and vilify
and demonize the presidents and Republicans. So when you look
at the sort of list of the different heinous things
that those leftists will stoop to, getting involved in a
(02:37):
protest and fighting for individuals who have broken the law
without even knowing what laws they've broken, ends up being
kind of low down on the list. Let's get to
some of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. Talkbacks are
brought to you by Lyndall Realty. As we continue our
(02:57):
broadcast from the six five to one Carpet Next Day
Install Studios, What.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It means to be American has dramatically shifted from God
Family country, personal accountability, creating something generational to pass down
to the protest movements of the sixties. Social issues, social justice,
standing up for what's right, and the fact that you
have to virtue signal in order for people to know
that you are that person, that you are the right
(03:23):
American that we're looking for in this country. And this
has splintered men and women and created such a divide.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Nothing screams justice for illegal aliens more than a dancing
frog and a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The truer words may not be spoken on this morning show.
Thank you for the comment. So let's go here. This
caught my eye earlier in the week Minnesota Reformer. It's
a left leaning publication.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I like going there.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Because you get the other side. You hear the arguments
from those on the left in a rather rational, common
sense manner. But therein lies also the danger as people
read this, because they may not look deep enough into
what is actually being said to realize that it ultimately
(04:21):
ends up being a bunch of gobbly goook putting it plainly,
using the military to police Americans used to alarm conservatives
for good reason.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Minnesota Reformer written by A. Matt Elling.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's a Saint Paul, based, a television producer who has
over thirty years experience in journalism as well as a
nonpartisan public advocacy around civil liberties government accountability issues, wrote
a piece on behalf of the Forum for Constitutional Rights.
And yet all that journalism experience and this piece is filled,
(04:57):
or I should say, is lacking in rational common sense.
So let me share with you some of what Matt
wrote here. Since June of this year, the Trump administration
has deployed or attempted to deploy federalized National Guard troops
to several major US cities against the wishes of their
state governors. Litigation over these actions has reached the US
Supreme Court and their emergency docket in a case involving
(05:19):
the deployment of federalized National Guard troops in Chicago. So
we're still awaiting the ruling on that the Supreme Court
is wanting a definition of irregular forces doing that thing
with my fingers coming from the Trump administration relating to
the deployment orders. So right now we're really just dealing
with the situation of immigrations and customs enforcement, like what
(05:41):
happened in Saint Paul yesterday and what's been happening in Charlotte,
North Carolina. So the article writer goes on to say
one of the last times the court spoke to such
issues was nineteen ninety in a case involving Minnesota. Former
Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpitch talks about the court the president's
lawfully federalizing National Guard troops. He says, the facts in
(06:05):
the current case are much different.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He admits it involving the deployment of federalized troops to
support civil authorities enforcing laws inside the United States.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The administration's push he goes on to right for broad
authority to deploy the military on the home front has
been uniformly opposed by Democrats, but has not yet generated
substantial pushback from Conservatives, despite their opposition in decades past.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Then he talks about the nineteen ninety three standoff between
federal agents and the Branch Davidian religious group ending in
the fiery con conflagration in Waco, Texas. For federal agents,
six Davidians died during the gunfight that erupted during the
Dynamic Entry SWAT raid on the Davidians headquarters.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So, first off, here.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There's a fundamentally different set of circumstances, almost incomparable. Beyond
law enforcement agencies being involved in this case, they were talking.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
About SWAT.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And this is just the first example of what I
mean by how this peace. While it attempts to argue
and lay out the premise that conservatives are being hypocritical
because they used to care about militarized enforcement on the
streets of America and now they don't, the examples that
he gives are completely and totally flawed because they have
(07:31):
nothing to do with what we're dealing with currently, specifically
relating to immigrations and customs enforcement. Just given the fact
that this was something that Trump ran on and Republicans
voted for. I have not talked to a single MAGA
voter or heard from a single Trump supporter who has
ever told me otherwise that I voted for Trump, but
(07:52):
I certainly didn't want him to do anything about immigration
and illegal immigration. He goes on to right the Waco raid,
including the use of military assets against civilians, alarmed the
political right. In the fall of nineteen ninety three, I
traveled with the colleague to a conference in Vevay, Indiana,
to conduct television interviews with attendees concerned about Waco and
(08:15):
its legacy. Again, the premise of comparing Waco and the
concerns there and either the suppressing of violence through a
show of force or enforcing immigration law is fundamentally different.
Those are two different things that were taking place. So
(08:35):
I'll provide to you a little bit more from this
piece because it's certainly relevant to the conversation we've been
having over these ice raids and the fact that I
expect that they are going to continue not just in
Saint Paul, but also in the Twin Cities as well
as the Trump administration focuses currently on Charlotte, North Carolina,
which has its own set of controversies, including local publications
(08:59):
that are Dea spertly trying to stir the pot of
controversy of what's taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina. We'll
get to your comments as well from the iHeartRadio app
and coming up at the bottom of the hour, we'll
talk with Jenna Globe from Alphanews, and we'll get the
latest from Alphanus available at alphanus dot org. It's all
coming up on Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and
(09:20):
one oh three five FM, Good.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Morning, and I love your show.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I thought it's marketing.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Brighton the obvious difference between the Waco situation what's going
on with ICE right now is that we were dealing
with US citizens in the case of Waco, and the
Clinton administration essentially killed everyone involved in the branch Davidian things.
They've burned their compound to the ground. Yeah, slight distinction
between that in a raid on people who are in
(09:48):
the country illegally. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It speaks to the lengths that those on the left
and supposed smart people have to go to try to
make a point that isn't based in any kind of reality.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
In this case.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Minnesota reformer matt Elling here on Twin Cities News Talk
from the six five to one carpet Next Day install studios.
Using the military to police Americans used to alarm conservatives
for good reason, and yet the example that he gives
is the talkback Mark just mentioned. It was Waco, of
all places. There's no comparison between the two. What conservatives
(10:28):
are supporting right now is going and enforcing the law
holding individuals accountable. The future of the country rests on
this issue. The future of the state of Minnesota rests
on this issue. Ninety percent of the issues that we
(10:49):
talk about on a daily basis, there is a directed
through line relating to illegal immigration. That's why the Biden
ad Ministry for those four years allowed those millions upon
millions of individuals to flood into the country illegally. It's
(11:10):
not something that can be solved overnight. It's not going
to be easy. But this is what I voted for,
and there's no comparison to what took place at Waco.
At the end of this piece, the article writer says,
conservatives of a generation ago raise concerns about the exact
kinds of military operations that are occurring on the streets
of America today. No, they didn't, because these types of
(11:32):
operations that are occurring on the streets of America today
weren't taking place because.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
We didn't have the issue the way that we do
now for them.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
He writes, Waco and Ruby Ridge proved ample evidence of
the danger posed by military operations bleeding into civilian law enforcement,
distorting the missions of both institutions. The piece wraps up
with this, while again continues and this is regarding the
National Guard. If you wanted to have a conversation regarding
the National Guard and what he's speaking to, and it's
(12:07):
a little bit more aligned with what took place at Waco,
for example, but still not quite such. And he is
right that there has been concerned concerns by some conservatives
in the past of the militarization of law enforcement, just
like there has been on the left. Most of that
was brought out of nine to eleven and the proliferation
(12:29):
of military type vehicles that ended up landing in the
possession of law enforcement agencies around the country. But again,
we're talking about a completely differentition to what we're dealing
with right now when it comes to immigrations and customs enforcement.
But he says, while the litigation continues, there's also a
deeper political question at play whether the traditional small government
(12:51):
conservatism will reassert itself and help diffuse Trump's military brinksmanship.
You know for this suppose it's smart, dude. He loves
conflating the issues of small government conservatism and what Ice
is doing right now on the streets of Saint Paul.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Hey John.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Since we went back in the way back machine to
branch the Vidian what happened that week, Well, don't forget
about Ian Gonzah.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, I forgot about that one, Lou, You're right.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The last line in this piece the answer to that
question diffusing Trump's military brinksmanship. The answer to that question
will have profound effects in the shape of both American
conservatism and presidential power for years to come. He completely
and I mean completely, avoided the fundamental difference that the
(13:51):
limited National Guard and larger ICE deployments is almost solely
and exclusively focused on illegal immigration, criminal deportations, and in
the case of national Guard violence in large metro areas,
that is taking place because the Democrats in charge in
those metropolitan areas are allowing it to happen for their
(14:13):
own political viability and to perpetuate their narratives. And that
the use of specifically ICE is in no small part
because of the sanctuary policies that have left taxpayers with
no law enforcement at the state level tackling criminal illegal immigration.
(14:34):
So if that means we need to have ICE agents
on our streets going and dealing with these issues, then
we need to have ICE agents on our streets dealing
with these issues, because I'll say it again, ninety percent
of the issues that we're faced with, and that rings
(14:55):
true nationwide, and certainly probably more like ninety five percent
here in the state of Menannesota is directly tied back
to illegal immigration on a I mean and just you
name the issue, and there is a through line to
illegal immigration.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Coming up.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Talk Back of the Day is on the way. Plus
we'll talk with Jenna Globe from Alphanus. Got a handful
of stories viral California singer joining in protest against Minnesota's
trans prison policy, and also in the appeals court revives
the case of a shockapy mom fired after protesting mask
mandates just a few of the items that we'll talk
(15:38):
about with Jenda Globe, your talkbacks and the talk Back
of the Day. It's all coming up here on Twin
Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five
FM from.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
The sixty five to one Carpet Next Day install Studios.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
My name is John Justice, Twin Cities News Talk AM
eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. Of course
also worldwide on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Where you can always leave us talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
And is that time of the morning where we present
it to you or to one individual. In this case,
it happens to be Scott for the Talkback of the Day.
Brought to you by Mini Leaf minileaf dot com, m
I N N E L e a f dot.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Com Friend of the show from Lenstrom, I'm always willing
to help. Thanksgiving is going to fall on a Thursday
this year, and.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
That is your talkback of the day, brought to you
by Mini Leaf. For those that missed it, I started
off the show this morning with an incredibly compelling conversation
about why it feels like Thanksgiving has moved, in which
case it does still always take place on the fourth
Thursday of the month, but sometimes you get almost an
(16:54):
extra week depending.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
On when the month starts. Some people saying was the
Mandela effect and it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So if you missed that riveting conversation, which trust me,
it was a lot better when I talked about it
the first hour of the show, you can check out
the podcast available on the iHeartRadio app. You know Jenna
Globe from ALF News, I don't know about you. See,
I start celebrating Christmas early now because of when Thanksgiving,
when it falls on the fourth Thursday of the month,
as it does every year, but when it falls at
(17:22):
the very last week of the month, as opposed to
giving us a week in between. I just start celebrating
Christmas early. We already have our tree up. And I sense, Jenna,
I don't know you that well, but I sense that
you're a person that gets into the Christmas spirit early
and does not wait until all the turkey is consumed
on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Am I right? Or am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
You are right? However, my teenage son is a Thanksgiving
tourist and he gives me the hardest time about doing
anything Christmas Eve before Thanksgiving. So I do what I
call a soft launch. Okay, we don't put up a
tree yet, but I do. I sprinkle a lot of red,
a lot of green throughout best of both worlds. I like.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I like that saw a soft Christmas launch. That may
be the best thing that I've heard all all morning,
and I've I've heard a lot today. So, Jenna Globe
from Alpha News, it's been a while. Thank you so
much for joining the show this morning. It's good to
talk with you.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
It has it's great to be on again.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
All right, So let's start here.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I know that an Alpha News you, Jenna, along with
Liz Collin and others at Alpha News, you've really been
at the forefront of the issues regarding trans prison policies.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And I know there's a.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Recent story where there's been quite a bit of coverage
of what's been taking place here. And as the story
that I have in front of me mentioned, and I
completely agree, a black lesbian singer from California also not
on my bingo card to be talked about on the show,
but talk about this major critic of transgender women in
(18:55):
female spaces and this singer from California's involvement in the
most recent attempts to bring this to national attention.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah, you know a lot of your listeners may be
familiar with Tish Hymen. I grew to know who she
was last week after seeing her viral videos on Twitter
and then she was all over the news. She's a
lady who was at a Gold gym who filmed a
biological man inside her locker room and complained about it
(19:27):
and then ultimately was kicked out of the gym. Her
membership was suspended or terminated by Gold Gym. And she
has this amazing viral video where she's sort of in
a lobbyist She's just letting everybody know what happened in
a pretty funny and just like in your face type
(19:48):
of way. So she's just gotten a ton of attention
because you know, she says, I'm a lesbian, I'm a
black woman, I check all the boxes. She's supported a
lot of Democratic candidates in her state of California, and
she says, I'm not transphobic, but I see what's happening
(20:08):
here and it's dangerous for women and young children. And
so she's just become this unlikely ally in this in
this space for people criticizing biological men in female spaces
and sports.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, it's been.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Really interesting to see and it hasn't received a lot
of media attention, and it's understandably so you've seen your
more conservative outlets or outlets like yourself, and I aren't
afraid to go and report the truth.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But there has.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Been a growing number of individuals within the gay community
who end up describing when you look at the LGBTQ,
they would say that they're aligned with the LG or
the lgb portion, but are distancing themselves from the the
TQ and other letters that are typically attached with that acronym.
(21:00):
And they've been calling out how listen, we've been at
the forefront of equal rights relating to the gay community.
But what's been taking place with the controversy surrounding the
trans community and the rest of that acronym, they're not
on board with, and they've been siding with a lot
of conservatives. And in this case, she actually came here
to Minnesota to rally alongside protesters outside of the Shokapi
(21:23):
Women's prison. Correct, And this has been an ongoing controversy
as of late dealing with what's been taking place inside
of this Minnesota prison.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Right, Jenna, Yes, and she was she was here on
Sunday talking to a group of protesters who were outside
Shokapis Shocapy prison protesting the fact that biological men are
housed with these women. And she got on the mic,
the megaphone, whatever, and just was gave another rousing talk
(21:55):
about this. You know that she's there to raise awareness
about this, that this is not safe, and she says,
I'm tired of people acting like they don't have eyes
and a brain between their ears, you know, And again
she checks all the boxes of what, you know, maybe
the mainstream media, the woke left would try to say
(22:17):
these who this is who supports you know, trends in
women's sports and spaces, but she's saying, no, that's not
the case. Actually, this is unsafe.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Where do we stand now when it comes to the
controversy surrounding the Shakapie Women's Prison. Our voice is starting
to be heard over the concerns of what's been taking
place there or are they still facing an uphill battle
over this issue within the prison.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I think they're still probably facing an uphill battle. But
every protest like this is going to help. You know,
Tissheimen did direct some of her comments to Governor Walls.
Ultimately he's the governor of the state. But you know,
they passed the legislation that allows men to be housed
with females. And you know, I John, before I worked
(23:06):
at Alpha News several years ago, I did prison ministry
in at Shakapy Prison. It's so many of those women
opened up about being sexually abused, especially in their childhood.
They do not need to be sharing their space, their
time in prison with biological men. It's you know, I
(23:26):
think most people can agree with that, and Kit Timon
and a lot of others are hoping that our state
leaders will ultimately agree with that as well.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So I also did not.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Have Jena Globe doing Women's prison Ministry on my Bingo
card today.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Can you talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
How did you get involved in those efforts.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Several years ago? I would say two thousand and nine.
I became certified with Prison Fellowship. I rededicated my life
to Christ in two thousand and seven and just really
fell to calling after studying the Bible for a few years,
to to talk to women. And I got trained and
certified and started going into Shakau prison and just kind
(24:12):
of spreading the gospel and telling him that you know,
God sells a plan for their lives, and you know
He loves them, and you know. It was a wonderful
experience and something I treasure and I value. And unfortunately
I did that for many years and then when COVID hit,
they kind of stopped all that, allowing people to come
(24:34):
in and then you know, just life and kids and
I went back to work and that that kind of waned.
But it was a good chunk of my of my
life that I really had precious memories. And I hope
more people do it because these inmates really.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Need it well, and you know, and certainly it gives
you the opportunity to provide an insight and unique perspective
into into the issues that you guys have been covering
over at Alphin News and would encourage everybody to head
on over to alphaanews dot org to see the entirety
of that story and this singer who traveled for this
protest as well. Let's move over to another Shokape story.
(25:11):
A Shacape mother who had become a loud voice against
the mandates in our schools during the time of COVID
is still looking at her first Amendment lawsuit. Correct, what's
the latest regarding the appeals court to reviving this woman's
protesting of these mass mandates.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, they're going to hear it. They're saying that, you know,
it is very reasonable to suggest that her employer and
Shakape School superintendent sort of worked together to get her fired.
This mother worked as a personal banker for Hometown Bank.
Her name is Tarah McNeely and part of that six
(25:53):
eight hours a week two worked inside of a brain
branch located inside Shokaby High School. I didn't know there
was such a thing, but apparently there are branches inside
high school. She worked there six s eight hours when
they had the mask mandate. She really rallied against it,
She attended meetings at school board meetings, she started a
(26:14):
Facebook group called Parents Against Sports Masking, and you know,
just used her for a constitutional right to say her
thoughts on masking. Unfortunately, the school didn't like that. Hometown
Bank was in contact, the vice president was in contact
with the superintendent of Shockaby Schools who was apparently complaining
(26:37):
about McNeely, and eventually McNeely was not allowed to be
in Shockaby Schools because she wouldn't wear the mask. So
Hometown Bank basically said, because you can't fulfill your six
st eight hours there, we really don't have a place
for you anymore, and they let her go. So she
filed a lawsuit for a lawful termination.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Talking with Jena Glow from Alpha News stories available at
alphanus dot org and something that I know you guys
will continue to keep an eye on and I will
as well. So if I'm not mistaken, the court, the
case is now heading back to the district court, and
so we still have to to find out what a
jury has to say regarding the matter.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Correct, that is correct? Yes, McNeely, The attorney says, public officials,
you know, they can't retaliate against someone for expressing viewpoints
on matters of public or opinion, or can they coordinate
with you know, a private party in this case, the
bank to retaliate against someone because they disagree with that
person's position. So ultimately a jury may decide what's going
(27:38):
to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'll tell you what, Jenna, Heaven forbid the country wherever
to have to go through another pandemic like we did
with COVID. But it's a good thing that there are
individuals like this. It's unfortunate they have to deal with
these circumstances, but it's a good thing. We'll be getting
some answers regarding several of these issues. If we were
ever to have to go through something like COVID again,
at least we'll have further clarification about what the you know,
(28:01):
the courts have to say and the law has to
say over what so many of us, including this woman,
had to endure during that time and continue to go
and endure. I just again, I don't want us to
go through another pandemic, but if we did, at least
we'll have some answers to some of these questions.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Absolutely, the cases like this will establish presidents which will
make it easier and probably save the courts more time
in the future should this happen again.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I want to drive everybody's attention to just one more
story as we talk with Jenna Globe from Alpha News
and certainly something that's been on, you know, on my mind.
I've talked about it a ton on the show, but
that is the controversies regarding fraud here in Minnesota and
specifically DHS. There's an exclusive up at Alpha News of
internal messages within DHS, specifically from the finance chief and
(28:50):
concerns over the situation as we've been talking about on
the show and you guys have been covering at Alpha News.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah, so you know what. Also News, we get a
lot of tips from state agencies, from employees who wish
to remain confidential, so you know, we look into a
lot of this and this is one that we got
and I started digging in. We were given screenshots of
text messages. But basically DHS is the state's largest agency
(29:19):
and they're responsible for distributing federal grant funds to sub
grantees like counties, nonprofits, tribes throughout Minnesota for various services,
mental health services.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
What have you.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
And we found in these text messages that the agency
was not getting these paid on time. Employees were not
submitting the invoices and time, and they had to show
that they could draw federal funds to pay them, and
(29:53):
so they had to use state resources to pay these
invoices that should have been paid by federal funds. Basically,
it boiled down to mismanagement within DHS.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I just you know, if DHS were overseen by a
GOP administration or a private company, it would have been
completely overhauled by now. And this is just another another
example of that. In my opinion, I encourage everybody to
head on over to alphanus dot org. I check out
this story and everything available off at alphanus dot org.
(30:26):
You got new stories going up every single day. And
Jenna Globe from Alpha News, good luck on your soft
Christmas launch.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I'll post some pics. How about that. I'll show you
what a soft launch looks like.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
John, We've done a hard launch at our house. Let
me tell you the tree. The tree looks absolutely spectacular.
My wife really outdid herself already this year with the
with the Christmas tree decorations. So thank you for the
time this morning. It's always great uh to talk with you, Jenna.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
All right, I want to wrap on this.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I got just enough time this this in well bookend
the show with the Democrats say the silliest things. Minnesota lawmaker,
in this case as State Senator Aaron may Waid, I
almost feel bad for dropping this right at the end
of the show, but I'm going to do you anyways,
claims the Trump administration wants to legally make women and
people of color second class citizens. This was taking place
(31:20):
during a Senate subcommittee hearing last week on the federal
impact on Minnesotan's and economic stability. And a hat tip
to add Off of the Press one on X for providing.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
This clip from Senator Aaron Makeway.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
About fifty years ago roughly with many notable exceptions prior
to that, but about fifty years ago at the same
time is right around when women broadly started going to college,
when low income people had access to college, and when
people of color had access to college. Before that, college
was not for any of those people. It was for
(31:54):
white wealthy men to go and perseverate and dream and
think of ways to keep dealing money for poor people.
And what we are seeing today is the attempt to
reinstitute the racial and gender hierarchy and society to treat
us as second class citizens legally through the destruction of
higher education, just.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Like I demonstrated in the article from the Minnesota Reformer,
the conflating of issues. She's not wrong in her first
initial assessment of colleges becoming more welcoming and open for
women and people of color going back several decades, but
she can't help herself by throwing in the white men
(32:37):
thinking of ways to steal money for poor people, and
then to move forward with this ridiculous assertion that Trump
is trying to legally make women and people of color
second class and citizens.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
But this is what they have to resort to.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's propaganda in the absence of any cogent policy issues.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Thank you for hanging out on the show today.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Check out the podcast available on the iHeartRadio app if
you miss any portion of today's show, and we are
back at it tomorrow for you friends and you folks
starting just after six am. Have a great Wednesday and
I'll talk to you then back
But to City's news Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Am eleven thirty one O three five FM, ICE agents
left the pro text yesterday afternoon, and as they did,
Angela deeb knelt on the pavement, comforted by other protesters
as she recovered from being pepper sprayed by one of
the federal agents, saying, I was kind of in her face.
(00:42):
This would be Angela talking about the agent. I was
at her window and I was telling her, you're teaching
your kids to be racist. I said that, Deep said,
I said that in her window, and some dude came
up and he pushed me and I got sprayed. It
was worth it, she said, because I wouldn't be here
it wasn't for immigrants.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You know what I'm just going to give af You're
fascinating to talk to.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Federal agents confronted by protesters during operation at Saint Paul Company.
I don't know about you, but this is what I
voted for, holding people accountable for their actions. I'm as
curious as anybody else, and I'm sure we'll get the
details as to the individuals that were arrested. In the
(01:30):
background of these individuals, but therein lies the point, and
that is these protesters. They're essentially aligning with individuals who
are being legitimately arrested for crimes without even knowing what
it is that they're being arrested for.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's folly.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's pure folly, all driven by politics, because it doesn't
matter what these individuals did. I mean, as we demonstrate
the first part of the show, you have Democrats texting
with known pedophiles in attempts to get an advantage during
(02:12):
congressional hearings when they're talking about Trump. That's the links
that they will go to try to go and vilify
and demonize the presidents and Republicans. So when you look
at the sort of list of the different heinous things
that those leftists will stoop to, getting involved in a
(02:37):
protest and fighting for individuals who have broken the law
without even knowing what laws they've broken, ends up being
kind of low down on the list. Let's get to
some of your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. Talkbacks are
brought to you by Lyndall Realty. As we continue our
(02:57):
broadcast from the six five to one Carpet Next Day
Install Studios, What.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It means to be American has dramatically shifted from God
Family country, personal accountability, creating something generational to pass down
to the protest movements of the sixties. Social issues, social justice,
standing up for what's right, and the fact that you
have to virtue signal in order for people to know
that you are that person, that you are the right
(03:23):
American that we're looking for in this country. And this
has splintered men and women and created such a divide.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Nothing screams justice for illegal aliens more than a dancing
frog and a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The truer words may not be spoken on this morning show.
Thank you for the comment. So let's go here. This
caught my eye earlier in the week Minnesota Reformer. It's
a left leaning publication.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I like going there.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Because you get the other side. You hear the arguments
from those on the left in a rather rational, common
sense manner. But therein lies also the danger as people
read this, because they may not look deep enough into
what is actually being said to realize that it ultimately
(04:21):
ends up being a bunch of gobbly goook putting it plainly,
using the military to police Americans used to alarm conservatives
for good reason.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Minnesota Reformer written by A. Matt Elling.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's a Saint Paul, based, a television producer who has
over thirty years experience in journalism as well as a
nonpartisan public advocacy around civil liberties government accountability issues, wrote
a piece on behalf of the Forum for Constitutional Rights.
And yet all that journalism experience and this piece is filled,
(04:57):
or I should say, is lacking in rational common sense.
So let me share with you some of what Matt
wrote here. Since June of this year, the Trump administration
has deployed or attempted to deploy federalized National Guard troops
to several major US cities against the wishes of their
state governors. Litigation over these actions has reached the US
Supreme Court and their emergency docket in a case involving
(05:19):
the deployment of federalized National Guard troops in Chicago. So
we're still awaiting the ruling on that the Supreme Court
is wanting a definition of irregular forces doing that thing
with my fingers coming from the Trump administration relating to
the deployment orders. So right now we're really just dealing
with the situation of immigrations and customs enforcement, like what
(05:41):
happened in Saint Paul yesterday and what's been happening in Charlotte,
North Carolina. So the article writer goes on to say
one of the last times the court spoke to such
issues was nineteen ninety in a case involving Minnesota. Former
Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpitch talks about the court the president's
lawfully federalizing National Guard troops. He says, the facts in
(06:05):
the current case are much different.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He admits it involving the deployment of federalized troops to
support civil authorities enforcing laws inside the United States.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The administration's push he goes on to right for broad
authority to deploy the military on the home front has
been uniformly opposed by Democrats, but has not yet generated
substantial pushback from Conservatives, despite their opposition in decades past.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Then he talks about the nineteen ninety three standoff between
federal agents and the Branch Davidian religious group ending in
the fiery con conflagration in Waco, Texas. For federal agents,
six Davidians died during the gunfight that erupted during the
Dynamic Entry SWAT raid on the Davidians headquarters.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So, first off, here.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There's a fundamentally different set of circumstances, almost incomparable. Beyond
law enforcement agencies being involved in this case, they were talking.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
About SWAT.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And this is just the first example of what I
mean by how this peace. While it attempts to argue
and lay out the premise that conservatives are being hypocritical
because they used to care about militarized enforcement on the
streets of America and now they don't, the examples that
he gives are completely and totally flawed because they have
(07:31):
nothing to do with what we're dealing with currently, specifically
relating to immigrations and customs enforcement. Just given the fact
that this was something that Trump ran on and Republicans
voted for. I have not talked to a single MAGA
voter or heard from a single Trump supporter who has
ever told me otherwise that I voted for Trump, but
(07:52):
I certainly didn't want him to do anything about immigration
and illegal immigration. He goes on to right the Waco raid,
including the use of military assets against civilians, alarmed the
political right. In the fall of nineteen ninety three, I
traveled with the colleague to a conference in Vevay, Indiana,
to conduct television interviews with attendees concerned about Waco and
(08:15):
its legacy. Again, the premise of comparing Waco and the
concerns there and either the suppressing of violence through a
show of force or enforcing immigration law is fundamentally different.
Those are two different things that were taking place. So
(08:35):
I'll provide to you a little bit more from this
piece because it's certainly relevant to the conversation we've been
having over these ice raids and the fact that I
expect that they are going to continue not just in
Saint Paul, but also in the Twin Cities as well
as the Trump administration focuses currently on Charlotte, North Carolina,
which has its own set of controversies, including local publications
(08:59):
that are Dea spertly trying to stir the pot of
controversy of what's taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina. We'll
get to your comments as well from the iHeartRadio app
and coming up at the bottom of the hour, we'll
talk with Jenna Globe from Alphanews, and we'll get the
latest from Alphanus available at alphanus dot org. It's all
coming up on Twinsday's News Talk AM eleven thirty and
(09:20):
one oh three five FM, Good.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Morning, and I love your show.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I thought it's marketing.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Brighton the obvious difference between the Waco situation what's going
on with ICE right now is that we were dealing
with US citizens in the case of Waco, and the
Clinton administration essentially killed everyone involved in the branch Davidian things.
They've burned their compound to the ground. Yeah, slight distinction
between that in a raid on people who are in
(09:48):
the country illegally. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It speaks to the lengths that those on the left
and supposed smart people have to go to try to
make a point that isn't based in any kind of reality.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
In this case.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Minnesota reformer matt Elling here on Twin Cities News Talk
from the six five to one carpet Next Day install studios.
Using the military to police Americans used to alarm conservatives
for good reason, and yet the example that he gives
is the talkback Mark just mentioned. It was Waco, of
all places. There's no comparison between the two. What conservatives
(10:28):
are supporting right now is going and enforcing the law
holding individuals accountable. The future of the country rests on
this issue. The future of the state of Minnesota rests
on this issue. Ninety percent of the issues that we
(10:49):
talk about on a daily basis, there is a directed
through line relating to illegal immigration. That's why the Biden
ad Ministry for those four years allowed those millions upon
millions of individuals to flood into the country illegally. It's
(11:10):
not something that can be solved overnight. It's not going
to be easy. But this is what I voted for,
and there's no comparison to what took place at Waco.
At the end of this piece, the article writer says,
conservatives of a generation ago raise concerns about the exact
kinds of military operations that are occurring on the streets
of America today. No, they didn't, because these types of
(11:32):
operations that are occurring on the streets of America today
weren't taking place because.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
We didn't have the issue the way that we do
now for them.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
He writes, Waco and Ruby Ridge proved ample evidence of
the danger posed by military operations bleeding into civilian law enforcement,
distorting the missions of both institutions. The piece wraps up
with this, while again continues and this is regarding the
National Guard. If you wanted to have a conversation regarding
the National Guard and what he's speaking to, and it's
(12:07):
a little bit more aligned with what took place at Waco,
for example, but still not quite such. And he is
right that there has been concerned concerns by some conservatives
in the past of the militarization of law enforcement, just
like there has been on the left. Most of that
was brought out of nine to eleven and the proliferation
(12:29):
of military type vehicles that ended up landing in the
possession of law enforcement agencies around the country. But again,
we're talking about a completely differentition to what we're dealing
with right now when it comes to immigrations and customs enforcement.
But he says, while the litigation continues, there's also a
deeper political question at play whether the traditional small government
(12:51):
conservatism will reassert itself and help diffuse Trump's military brinksmanship.
You know for this suppose it's smart, dude. He loves
conflating the issues of small government conservatism and what Ice
is doing right now on the streets of Saint Paul.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Hey John.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Since we went back in the way back machine to
branch the Vidian what happened that week, Well, don't forget
about Ian Gonzah.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, I forgot about that one, Lou, You're right.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The last line in this piece the answer to that
question diffusing Trump's military brinksmanship. The answer to that question
will have profound effects in the shape of both American
conservatism and presidential power for years to come. He completely
and I mean completely, avoided the fundamental difference that the
(13:51):
limited National Guard and larger ICE deployments is almost solely
and exclusively focused on illegal immigration, criminal deportations, and in
the case of national Guard violence in large metro areas,
that is taking place because the Democrats in charge in
those metropolitan areas are allowing it to happen for their
(14:13):
own political viability and to perpetuate their narratives. And that
the use of specifically ICE is in no small part
because of the sanctuary policies that have left taxpayers with
no law enforcement at the state level tackling criminal illegal immigration.
(14:34):
So if that means we need to have ICE agents
on our streets going and dealing with these issues, then
we need to have ICE agents on our streets dealing
with these issues, because I'll say it again, ninety percent
of the issues that we're faced with, and that rings
(14:55):
true nationwide, and certainly probably more like ninety five percent
here in the state of Menannesota is directly tied back
to illegal immigration on a I mean and just you
name the issue, and there is a through line to
illegal immigration.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Coming up.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Talk Back of the Day is on the way. Plus
we'll talk with Jenna Globe from Alphanus. Got a handful
of stories viral California singer joining in protest against Minnesota's
trans prison policy, and also in the appeals court revives
the case of a shockapy mom fired after protesting mask
mandates just a few of the items that we'll talk
(15:38):
about with Jenda Globe, your talkbacks and the talk Back
of the Day. It's all coming up here on Twin
Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty and one three five
FM from.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
The sixty five to one Carpet Next Day install Studios.

Where you can always leave us talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (16:08):

it to you or to one individual. In this case,
it happens to be Scott for the Talkback of the Day.
Brought to you by Mini Leaf minileaf dot com, m

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Com Friend of the show from Lenstrom, I'm always willing
to help. Thanksgiving is going to fall on a Thursday
this year, and.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
That is your talkback of the day, brought to you
by Mini Leaf. For those that missed it, I started
off the show this morning with an incredibly compelling conversation
about why it feels like Thanksgiving has moved, in which
case it does still always take place on the fourth
Thursday of the month, but sometimes you get almost an
(16:54):
extra week depending.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
On when the month starts. Some people saying was the
Mandela effect and it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So if you missed that riveting conversation, which trust me,
it was a lot better when I talked about it
the first hour of the show, you can check out
the podcast available on the iHeartRadio app. You know Jenna
Globe from ALF News, I don't know about you. See,
I start celebrating Christmas early now because of when Thanksgiving,
when it falls on the fourth Thursday of the month,
as it does every year, but when it falls at
(17:22):
the very last week of the month, as opposed to
giving us a week in between. I just start celebrating
Christmas early. We already have our tree up. And I sense, Jenna,
I don't know you that well, but I sense that
you're a person that gets into the Christmas spirit early
and does not wait until all the turkey is consumed
on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Am I right? Or am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
You are right? However, my teenage son is a Thanksgiving
tourist and he gives me the hardest time about doing
anything Christmas Eve before Thanksgiving. So I do what I
call a soft launch. Okay, we don't put up a
tree yet, but I do. I sprinkle a lot of red,
a lot of green throughout best of both worlds. I like.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I like that saw a soft Christmas launch. That may
be the best thing that I've heard all all morning,
and I've I've heard a lot today. So, Jenna Globe
from Alpha News, it's been a while. Thank you so
much for joining the show this morning. It's good to
talk with you.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
It has it's great to be on again.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
All right, So let's start here.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I know that an Alpha News you, Jenna, along with
Liz Collin and others at Alpha News, you've really been
at the forefront of the issues regarding trans prison policies.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And I know there's a.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Recent story where there's been quite a bit of coverage
of what's been taking place here. And as the story
that I have in front of me mentioned, and I
completely agree, a black lesbian singer from California also not
on my bingo card to be talked about on the show,
but talk about this major critic of transgender women in
(18:55):
female spaces and this singer from California's involvement in the
most recent attempts to bring this to national attention.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah, you know a lot of your listeners may be
familiar with Tish Hymen. I grew to know who she
was last week after seeing her viral videos on Twitter
and then she was all over the news. She's a
lady who was at a Gold gym who filmed a
biological man inside her locker room and complained about it
(19:27):
and then ultimately was kicked out of the gym. Her
membership was suspended or terminated by Gold Gym. And she
has this amazing viral video where she's sort of in
a lobbyist She's just letting everybody know what happened in
a pretty funny and just like in your face type
(19:48):
of way. So she's just gotten a ton of attention
because you know, she says, I'm a lesbian, I'm a
black woman, I check all the boxes. She's supported a
lot of Democratic candidates in her state of California, and
she says, I'm not transphobic, but I see what's happening
(20:08):
here and it's dangerous for women and young children. And
so she's just become this unlikely ally in this in
this space for people criticizing biological men in female spaces
and sports.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, it's been.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Really interesting to see and it hasn't received a lot
of media attention, and it's understandably so you've seen your
more conservative outlets or outlets like yourself, and I aren't
afraid to go and report the truth.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But there has.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Been a growing number of individuals within the gay community
who end up describing when you look at the LGBTQ,
they would say that they're aligned with the LG or
the lgb portion, but are distancing themselves from the the
TQ and other letters that are typically attached with that acronym.
(21:00):
And they've been calling out how listen, we've been at
the forefront of equal rights relating to the gay community.
But what's been taking place with the controversy surrounding the
trans community and the rest of that acronym, they're not
on board with, and they've been siding with a lot
of conservatives. And in this case, she actually came here
to Minnesota to rally alongside protesters outside of the Shokapi
(21:23):
Women's prison. Correct, And this has been an ongoing controversy
as of late dealing with what's been taking place inside
of this Minnesota prison.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Right, Jenna, Yes, and she was she was here on
Sunday talking to a group of protesters who were outside
Shokapis Shocapy prison protesting the fact that biological men are
housed with these women. And she got on the mic,
the megaphone, whatever, and just was gave another rousing talk
(21:55):
about this. You know that she's there to raise awareness
about this, that this is not safe, and she says,
I'm tired of people acting like they don't have eyes
and a brain between their ears, you know, And again
she checks all the boxes of what, you know, maybe
the mainstream media, the woke left would try to say
(22:17):
these who this is who supports you know, trends in
women's sports and spaces, but she's saying, no, that's not
the case. Actually, this is unsafe.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Where do we stand now when it comes to the
controversy surrounding the Shakapie Women's Prison. Our voice is starting
to be heard over the concerns of what's been taking
place there or are they still facing an uphill battle
over this issue within the prison.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I think they're still probably facing an uphill battle. But
every protest like this is going to help. You know,
Tissheimen did direct some of her comments to Governor Walls.
Ultimately he's the governor of the state. But you know,
they passed the legislation that allows men to be housed
with females. And you know, I John, before I worked
(23:06):
at Alpha News several years ago, I did prison ministry
in at Shakapy Prison. It's so many of those women
opened up about being sexually abused, especially in their childhood.
They do not need to be sharing their space, their
time in prison with biological men. It's you know, I
(23:26):
think most people can agree with that, and Kit Timon
and a lot of others are hoping that our state
leaders will ultimately agree with that as well.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So I also did not.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Have Jena Globe doing Women's prison Ministry on my Bingo
card today.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Can you talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
How did you get involved in those efforts.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Several years ago? I would say two thousand and nine.
I became certified with Prison Fellowship. I rededicated my life
to Christ in two thousand and seven and just really
fell to calling after studying the Bible for a few years,
to to talk to women. And I got trained and
certified and started going into Shakau prison and just kind
(24:12):
of spreading the gospel and telling him that you know,
God sells a plan for their lives, and you know
He loves them, and you know. It was a wonderful
experience and something I treasure and I value. And unfortunately
I did that for many years and then when COVID hit,
they kind of stopped all that, allowing people to come
(24:34):
in and then you know, just life and kids and
I went back to work and that that kind of waned.
But it was a good chunk of my of my
life that I really had precious memories. And I hope
more people do it because these inmates really.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Need it well, and you know, and certainly it gives
you the opportunity to provide an insight and unique perspective
into into the issues that you guys have been covering
over at Alphin News and would encourage everybody to head
on over to alphaanews dot org to see the entirety
of that story and this singer who traveled for this
protest as well. Let's move over to another Shokape story.
(25:11):
A Shacape mother who had become a loud voice against
the mandates in our schools during the time of COVID
is still looking at her first Amendment lawsuit. Correct, what's
the latest regarding the appeals court to reviving this woman's
protesting of these mass mandates.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, they're going to hear it. They're saying that, you know,
it is very reasonable to suggest that her employer and
Shakape School superintendent sort of worked together to get her fired.
This mother worked as a personal banker for Hometown Bank.
Her name is Tarah McNeely and part of that six
(25:53):
eight hours a week two worked inside of a brain
branch located inside Shokaby High School. I didn't know there
was such a thing, but apparently there are branches inside
high school. She worked there six s eight hours when
they had the mask mandate. She really rallied against it,
She attended meetings at school board meetings, she started a
(26:14):
Facebook group called Parents Against Sports Masking, and you know,
just used her for a constitutional right to say her
thoughts on masking. Unfortunately, the school didn't like that. Hometown
Bank was in contact, the vice president was in contact
with the superintendent of Shockaby Schools who was apparently complaining
(26:37):
about McNeely, and eventually McNeely was not allowed to be
in Shockaby Schools because she wouldn't wear the mask. So
Hometown Bank basically said, because you can't fulfill your six
st eight hours there, we really don't have a place
for you anymore, and they let her go. So she
filed a lawsuit for a lawful termination.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Talking with Jena Glow from Alpha News stories available at
alphanus dot org and something that I know you guys
will continue to keep an eye on and I will
as well. So if I'm not mistaken, the court, the
case is now heading back to the district court, and
so we still have to to find out what a
jury has to say regarding the matter.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Correct, that is correct? Yes, McNeely, The attorney says, public officials,
you know, they can't retaliate against someone for expressing viewpoints
on matters of public or opinion, or can they coordinate
with you know, a private party in this case, the
bank to retaliate against someone because they disagree with that
person's position. So ultimately a jury may decide what's going
(27:38):
to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'll tell you what, Jenna, Heaven forbid the country wherever
to have to go through another pandemic like we did
with COVID. But it's a good thing that there are
individuals like this. It's unfortunate they have to deal with
these circumstances, but it's a good thing. We'll be getting
some answers regarding several of these issues. If we were
ever to have to go through something like COVID again,
at least we'll have further clarification about what the you know,
(28:01):
the courts have to say and the law has to
say over what so many of us, including this woman,
had to endure during that time and continue to go
and endure. I just again, I don't want us to
go through another pandemic, but if we did, at least
we'll have some answers to some of these questions.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Absolutely, the cases like this will establish presidents which will
make it easier and probably save the courts more time
in the future should this happen again.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I want to drive everybody's attention to just one more
story as we talk with Jenna Globe from Alpha News
and certainly something that's been on, you know, on my mind.
I've talked about it a ton on the show, but
that is the controversies regarding fraud here in Minnesota and
specifically DHS. There's an exclusive up at Alpha News of
internal messages within DHS, specifically from the finance chief and
(28:50):
concerns over the situation as we've been talking about on
the show and you guys have been covering at Alpha News.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah, so you know what. Also News, we get a
lot of tips from state agencies, from employees who wish
to remain confidential, so you know, we look into a
lot of this and this is one that we got
and I started digging in. We were given screenshots of
text messages. But basically DHS is the state's largest agency
(29:19):
and they're responsible for distributing federal grant funds to sub
grantees like counties, nonprofits, tribes throughout Minnesota for various services,
mental health services.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
What have you.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
And we found in these text messages that the agency
was not getting these paid on time. Employees were not
submitting the invoices and time, and they had to show
that they could draw federal funds to pay them, and
(29:53):
so they had to use state resources to pay these
invoices that should have been paid by federal funds. Basically,
it boiled down to mismanagement within DHS.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I just you know, if DHS were overseen by a
GOP administration or a private company, it would have been
completely overhauled by now. And this is just another another
example of that. In my opinion, I encourage everybody to
head on over to alphanus dot org. I check out
this story and everything available off at alphanus dot org.
(30:26):
You got new stories going up every single day. And
Jenna Globe from Alpha News, good luck on your soft
Christmas launch.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I'll post some pics. How about that. I'll show you
what a soft launch looks like.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
John, We've done a hard launch at our house. Let
me tell you the tree. The tree looks absolutely spectacular.
My wife really outdid herself already this year with the
with the Christmas tree decorations. So thank you for the
time this morning. It's always great uh to talk with you, Jenna.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
All right, I want to wrap on this.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I got just enough time this this in well bookend
the show with the Democrats say the silliest things. Minnesota lawmaker,
in this case as State Senator Aaron may Waid, I
almost feel bad for dropping this right at the end
of the show, but I'm going to do you anyways,
claims the Trump administration wants to legally make women and
people of color second class citizens. This was taking place
(31:20):
during a Senate subcommittee hearing last week on the federal
impact on Minnesotan's and economic stability. And a hat tip
to add Off of the Press one on X for providing.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
This clip from Senator Aaron Makeway.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
About fifty years ago roughly with many notable exceptions prior
to that, but about fifty years ago at the same
time is right around when women broadly started going to college,
when low income people had access to college, and when
people of color had access to college. Before that, college
was not for any of those people. It was for
(31:54):
white wealthy men to go and perseverate and dream and
think of ways to keep dealing money for poor people.
And what we are seeing today is the attempt to
reinstitute the racial and gender hierarchy and society to treat
us as second class citizens legally through the destruction of
higher education, just.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Like I demonstrated in the article from the Minnesota Reformer,
the conflating of issues. She's not wrong in her first
initial assessment of colleges becoming more welcoming and open for
women and people of color going back several decades, but
she can't help herself by throwing in the white men
(32:37):
thinking of ways to steal money for poor people, and
then to move forward with this ridiculous assertion that Trump
is trying to legally make women and people of color
second class and citizens.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
But this is what they have to resort to.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's propaganda in the absence of any cogent policy issues.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Thank you for hanging out on the show today.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Check out the podcast available on the iHeartRadio app if
you miss any portion of today's show, and we are
back at it tomorrow for you friends and you folks
starting just after six am. Have a great Wednesday and
I'll talk to you then back
