Speaker 1 (00:13):
Cower three, Twin Cities News Talk from the sixty five
to one carpet. Next Day Install Studios was calling from
Alpha News, will be joining us coming up? She posted
yesterday online a couple of new job hostings at Ennepin County.
If you weren't upset already at the coverage of the news.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
This is, you're.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Either gonna laugh, You're either gonna get mad. You're gonna laugh,
you're gonna cry, and you can choose your own adventure. Fox
nine Governor Tim Wallas has shifted his approach to gun control,
opting for executive orders to address the issue rather than
calling a special legislative session. Because he's a coward. Tim,
If you're listening, you're a coward. The headline from Fox
(00:58):
nine Governor Walls bypasses special election issues. Bypasses special election
issues executive orders on gun control. It's factually correct, but
it's kind of misleading. These aren't gun controlled executive orders.
One order focuses on expanding education about safe storage and
the state's red flag law. The other seeks to collect
(01:20):
data on the societal costs of gun violence, which Walls
expects will face legal challenges. The orders are an attempt
to work around the federal ban on funding gun violence research.
Brian Strausser, chair of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, criticized
(01:40):
the executive orders rightfully so, calling them low impact and
a distraction from the governor's inability to gain support for
his agenda. What we got today were low impact orders
that serve more as political cover than meaningful policy because
behind the scenes, as Fox notes, some DFL legislators have
(02:02):
hesitated to support an assault weapons band despite polling that
shows sixty nine percent of Minnesotan's favor in eighteen percent
strongly opposed.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't care about the polling.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The polling is irrelevant in all of this, and they
don't care about the polling. The polling shows that a
vast majority of Minnesotan's also support biological men boys being
banned from competing against biological girls and women in sports,
and Democrats don't give a rip about that polling. I
(02:34):
don't care about this polling. We elect our representatives. We
elect our officials to go and make these decisions for us,
and if we don't like the decisions that they make,
we go when we find other individuals devote amount of office.
But Walls will not let that happen. He continues to
go and spread the lie that it's Republicans holding all
(02:55):
of this up. I'll play the clip again. This is
a straight up lie that Governor Tim Walls is saying.
There's no way to take a vote unless you have
a special session. And the only person that can call
a special session is Walls.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Doing as aggressive as executive orders as I can today
on gun violence. I'm going to hold the manufacturers accountable.
I'm going to make insurance companies were selling data. We're
going to start researching, and to hell with the federal government.
This thing pulls at seventy percent amongst Minnesotan.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We stop here really quick.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Let me address something with the whole to hell with
the federal government aspect.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So Tim Wall says, to hell with the federal government.
You better start listening to all the people on his
side that vote, because weren't they just protesting no more kings?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Timmy, your own side was telling they don't want no
more kings.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Get off your throat and do something.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Use ball on assault weapon bans and high capacity magazines.
Eighteen percent of Minnesotans are strongly opposed to doing this.
Standing amongst those eighteen percent is the one person who
could get us to a vote and ban this today,
and that's Lisa Uh. The Press, all of us, all
our neighbors, and everyone that she knows. Needs to make
it clear that I have simply asked for a vote.
(04:08):
She can either vote no or she can vote yes.
But the fact of the matter is this would pass
the legislation, we could put this band into place, and
we could save lives.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
He's as much of buffoon as he is evil because
he knows darn well what he's doing. Because Lisa Damoth
like I would love it for the GOP to call
his bluff because with the House divided, if you had
one Republican that went and got support on this and
(04:36):
sent it to the Senate, it's gonna die. There are
three dflers in there in the Senate that aren't going
to vote for this. It just takes one to not
vote for this, and Wallas knows that, so instead he
plays this game. And it really is evil what he's
doing because he knows that it leaves Lisa Damouth with
no place to go. It leaves Republicans with no place
(04:57):
to go because they can't take a vote to call
his bluff on this because he's the only one that
can call for a special session. And yes, people go
and call it out. I call it out, but it
doesn't matter. He keeps repeating it over and over again,
and then when you actually go and question him on it,
he delivers up one of his walls speaking shorthand nonsensical
(05:19):
word salads. Talking about assault weapons, yesterday, he had this
to say, Governor Tim Walls.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
There's two damn many guns and the wrong types of
guns on the street, and I don't want to hear
how do you define assault weapon? I damn sure can
assign what it is and describe what it is in tell.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
By the way, just a bit of a preview if
you're asking if he describes what it is. After saying
he knows how to describe what they are, he doesn't
bother will you what it does?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And unfortunately, we have a whole bunch of parents now
who know a lot more about what these weapons are
meant to do. Not meant to shoot there, They're not
meant to plink. Whoever, a Republican centator said he likes
to plink, and how dare we take away his planking?
They're meant to kill large numbers of people as quickly
as possible and with as much damage as they can
possibly do. I do not have the capacity as governor
(06:11):
to issue an executive order to get rid of those
But what I do have the ability to do is
to start to move in a direction.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Now, you have the ability to call for a special
session and let the elected members of the House and
Senate vote on whether or not they want to go
and past these different firearm gun control measures. You have
the power to do that, and he refuses to do so,
all for the sake of trying to score political points.
(06:41):
It tells you what is internal polling probably says, and
that he's in deep, deep trouble right now. All of
this is a distraction from the fraud and an attempt
to try to shore up support among his Democrats behind
closed doors, because right now they're losing faith in him.
They don't think that he's going to be a good
(07:03):
candidate next year. These are all acts of pure desperation.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Good morning, John, Say, did I hear you use the
word buffoon to describe him?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Walls, I did, perfect, Thanks.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I can't think of a better word to describe him.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Keep up to go to work, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Good morning, John, great show as always. I just wanted
to chime in. I am so tired of hearing the
word assault in front of weapons. I could to hit
somebody in the face and that's an assault too. It's weapons,
and that's it. I'm tired of the corporate media mob
as well as the DFL and the general public, continuing
(07:46):
to call them assault weapons. Weapons do not assault anybody
until a person puts them into action.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Let me leave you with a one more clip from
Walls before we continue with the show. I'll get to
these job postings, share these with you on a somewhat
and it's infuriating, but a lighter note. So this next
clip is Wall's going off more in this press conference
on guns and getting all fired up and dropping profanity,
(08:15):
because this is what he does when he has so
little substance of which to lean into when it comes
to his public comments, he defaults to this quasi anger,
finger pointing and profanity laced tirades like this.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
We had time, we should have been doing this, but
this is a run out the clock.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
This is the oldest strategy in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I don't know if we can define what an assault
weapon ban assault weapon is.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And I'm sorry, I just have to stop here really quick.
It is so appalling the gall on this guy to
talk about running out the clock. That's all he does
is run out the clock. That's all he was doing
on the fraud was running out the clock, turning a
blind eye for as long as a possible could until
the situation could not be ignored any more. His administration
(09:05):
continues to try to run out the clock, stonewalling the
federal government over access to the data in order to
see just how bad the fraud situation is. Fudging the
numbers relating to SNAP benefits. Oh, those are incorrect numbers,
we'sall or we'll get to the other ones at some
point in time.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Maybe. No, it's tear gas lighting.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Do you really think limiting them to less than one
hundred bullets is going to do anything?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, it is going to save lives, just like the
extremist protection orders, which I can pull quotes from many
of these folks who said this will do nothing, This
will not protect lives, this will take away our freedoms.
It's time to start reporting that that is all booked.
It does do something, It does make a difference. And
to stand here and have to look in the eyes
(09:54):
of parents who lost their little ones, shame on them
and shame on us if we don't get this done.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
His Twin Cities News talk Hey Yeah eleven thirty FM
one O three point five and on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hi John Howard, just a comment regarding the earlier call
regarding assault and weapons. You're right, absolutely, we need to
quit linking these two words. But further, we need to
stop using the word weapon. It's a firearm, it's a gun.
It only becomes a weapon when when malice is intended.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
My lord, I wish this guy would show one tenth
of the passion about the frog that's been going on
under his watch, the billions of dollars that have been
stolen from Minnesota taxpayers as he does to gun control.
For the love of Pete. Seriously, Timmy, why don't you
stand up there and tell us who you're going to
(10:53):
fire from your administration for letting this frog go on
for all these years?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, it really is. Thank you for the talkback.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You make a great point, especially when you consider that
when he actually was asked, that would be Governor Tim Walls,
when he was actually asked about whether or not he
takes accountability, he just brushed it off. Well, of course
I take accountability. I take accountability for that. I take
accountability for George Floyd. I take accountability for MSP being
the greatest airport on the planet. I take accountability for
(11:22):
a lot of things. You're right, I wish he showed
the same type of anger, passion, and profanity because of
the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota. I want
to play one more clip during this press conference yesterday
because she's special DFL Representative Emma Agreeman talking about doing
(11:43):
something regarding gun violence in Minnesota. Here listen to uh,
listen to this.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Communities across Minnesota are demanding that we take action to
keep our kids safe. Are then to get these weapons
of war off our Streetso weapons of four weapons of war,
the assault weapons and the high capacity magazines that have
inflicted so much harm in our community and so many others.
Will take legislative action, and in his action, we must take.
(12:14):
And the thing is, the public is with us. As
the governor said, seventy percent of Minnesotan support banning assault weapons,
and the polls reflect what we are all hearing in
our districts across the state, in town halls, in community conversations,
and in emotional calls and emails we are getting individually
from voters across the state. Do something now.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Just really quick, Oh my Garland, where have they been?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
What you clammed up on all of this? It's been
how long now?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And suddenly it's just back at the forefront, just magically,
all of these indoe visuals reaching out to these Democrat representatives.
She must have been I'm convinced that Emma Greeman was
indoctrinated at a really, really early age, because every time
she gets behind a microphone and speaks or is in
the legislative session clip that I've watched, she sounds like
(13:17):
an unintelligent, uneducated high schooler in discussing these issues.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Public is with us. So the question for every lawmaker
is whether we are with them. Standing here today with
Governor Wallas, our DFL leadership and colleagues in the House,
in the Senate, we are saying actions, not just words,
but actions that we are here with you and in
this work with you, and I want to end with
(13:45):
a reminder that our kids are watching and they're taking action.
Ten days after the Annunciation tragedy, I joined middle schoolers
and high schools from my community with students demand action,
with a few here from Justice Page Washburn who walked
out of school with thousands of other students across the
state to demand that we take action to get these
(14:07):
weapons off our streets. They had one simple message to
lawmakers and to the adults in our lives, choose us
over guns.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
This is not a hard choice, such a false notion.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Neecutive action today is about choosing the safety of our
kids over the guns that endanger them.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
If they cared, they could push their ridiculous gun control measures,
but also adopt the safety protocols, the safety measures that
Republicans have put forward time and time again. But they
constantly go and shoot those down. And that's a really
good example of what they do in going and abusing,
and it is, in my opinion, abusing children who aren't
(14:46):
old enough to vote, giving them involved in politics at
an early age when they should just be learning how
to read and write, which is almost impossible here in
Minnesota based off of the math and reading proficiency rates
as they lowered the standards to go and graduate. So
they have something that they can go and point to,
and that is the graduation rates. But they hold these
(15:06):
walkouts being urged by activist representatives like Greenman, just so
later on down the road they can pull it out
and say and the children have spoken as well. And
I walked out with them and they said, choose us
over guns. We're going to talk with Liz Collin from
(15:30):
Alphinus in just a moment. I want to share this
with you though.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So these are.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Submitted new job postings in Hennepin County.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Liz posted this online. I was appalled to.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Find Hennepin County was hiring two new positions that sounded
right out of the nineteen eighties Russia. A community prosperity administrator,
which is wild. According to the quote that Liz posted,
if the Blue nine Extension is guaranteed to make people's
lives easier, why would the government need to hire someone
to administer a prosperity administration isn't cheap. It pays almost
(16:08):
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars a year for a
community prosperity administrator. The other is a climate mitigation manager
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars a year. The tipster
said to Liz Colin, you know, Hennepin cannot change the climate.
It is so unbelievably insulting to the private sector too.
By the way, I just had to sign off on
(16:33):
the paperwork for the paid family leave from ihearta knew
it was coming, but just as a reminder about how
I'm going to lose hundreds of dollars every single year
through a program that I refuse to go and take
part of because I Am not going to put my
generous employers at risk financially by not showing up to
do my job over frivolous reasons. So to have these
(16:57):
positions paid for by your time taxpayer dollars it is
it's insulting to the private sector, tax dollars needlessly thrown
at completely unnecessary jobs that only exist to perpetuate the
liberal agenda and not serve the people of Minnesota. But hey,
if we're looking to make a nice salary, you can
be the community Prosperity administrator.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Make one hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Pretty sure, there's not going to be much in terms
of requirements for this for this job, how often do
you vote Democrat?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Ninety nine percent? Not good enough? How about you? How
often do you vote Democrat? One?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Good You got the job. You are now the Community
Prosperity Administrator. Twin Cities News Talk from the sixty five
to one carpet plus Next Day Installs studios. Before we
talk with Liz call In from Alpha News, we do
(17:57):
have to get to your talk back of the day.
Your talk back of the day is brought to you
by Minni Leaf. Head on over to the website am
I N N E l e af dot com and
check out all of their amazing products at minileaf dot com.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Good morning, John, oh my Garland, Oh my word.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I'm totally stealing that and people are gonna hear it
year round.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Have a great day.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Had somebody picked up on that and maybe that may
be happy. I cannot take credit for that. By the way,
we were watching the Disney movie with Anna Kendrick Nowell
last night.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's what Noel says in that movie. That's one of
my Christmas go tos. Good morning, Liz calling from Alpha News.
How are you maybe.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Hey, I'm doing well, I am Unity Prosperity Administrator. Oh,
I was saying, I'm the Community Prosperity Administrator at Alpha News.
I'd prefer if you refer to me that way.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, all right? Did they up your salary for that gig?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Did they add on to your already massive salary at
alphainus the tune of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars?
Speaker 10 (19:03):
Yeah, exactly. I don't think I have the attitude even.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Applied to such a such a job, especially in Hennipin County.
But oh my Garland, though I do like as well,
I might be ripping that off.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Also, I was looking for a moment all show to
try to go and spike that one, to spike that
one in this posting that you had that I grabbed
the Climate Mitigation manager one hundred and thirty thousand, this
Community Prosperity Administrator one hundred and seventy thousand.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I just it is. I said it a moment ago.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Liz Collin from Alpha News, it is unbelievably insulting to
the private sector right now that still continues to try
to scrape by the businesses that are going to suffer
underpaid family medical even here you have Nipen County creating
these you know, very high paying jobs for absolutely no
reason whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's a joke.
Speaker 10 (19:55):
Yeah, it's funny because we get a lot of these
tips over at Alpha News and it's always like, you know,
people will sometimes attach images or whatnot, and we obviously
have to do our own research to make sure it's real.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And I can't tell.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
You how many times that these job postings come in
where I'm like, oh, this can oh, this can't be real,
and then you can, you know, find it pretty easily
just on a Google search.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
What's crazy is this week as I, you know, get
ready for one more show tomorrow before I head off
on vacation, and typically like everything slows down to a
grinding halt and I'm having to search for content because
there's so little going on.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And I never in my entire.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Career have I ever been this busy in terms of
show content and relevant show content right before my Christmas
vacation that I have been over the course of this
past week.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It is. It is.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It's insane because Democrats are acting insane on so many
of these of these issues.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
No, I couldn't agree more. I said it was saying
the same thing yesterday that being a reporter in minnesot
for nearly twenty years, that at this point, I've never
seen a news cycle like this with the last few weeks,
And actually, I have bad news for you. You you actually can't.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Go on vacation. We took a poll and yeah it's canceled.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I reject that poll as much as I rejected the
poll from Governor Tim Walls at seventy percent of people
in Minnesota want an assault weapons band.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
For crying out loud, John, I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
The Community Prosperity Administrator. I can basically I'm in charge now,
so you can't. Yeah, you can't take vacation. But yes,
so much to talk about, and I know we were
going to focus a bit on congress Woman Ilhan Omar,
which a interesting story that we brought to light. And
I hate to even say we brought it to light
because this gal aj Kern has been there there for years.
(21:45):
But wanted to actually interview her about all of our research.
And I don't think a lot of people were aware
of this story, but all of the screenshots, all of
the research backup aj Kern and her assertion since she
has spent so much time on this, But why is
it that Ilhan Omar mysteriously changes her birth date online
(22:06):
and all her congressional documents after aj Kern basically outs
her I guess if you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Will on social media.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So so she's always said, she's always maintained that she
obtained her citizenship through naturalization through her father at the
age of seventeen. I should say Kern was running for
Congress and brought this to light a few years back
when she was But basically she's doing the math and saying, no, no,
she was eighteen in she was eighteen years old in
(22:34):
the year two thousands. There's no way you know her
story that doesn't match. She's already an adult. So she
brings us to light. Ilhan Omar changes her birth date
on her documentation like just a couple days later after
this is put on social media. Not only that, she
then reaches out to immigration officials. After somebody passes away,
(22:55):
you can basically file you know what, you'd call it
a data request, I guess if you will, to see
if this person is a US citizen. Well, she does
that with il Han's father and receives almost a year
later a response that says, no, there's no record of him,
so from our records.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
He's not a US citizen.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So is a sitting member of Congress not a US citizen.
She's been trying to get the attention of officials in Washington. Basically,
I will say that President Trump did share His people
shared her posts on true Social last week, and Omegan
Kelly also brought this up as well last week. So
(23:37):
we'll be interesting to see if anything comes of this.
But this research, she's done a great job. It's all
on ajkern dot com. People can see for themselves.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
And also she finds that the Secretary of State does
not verify citizenship of candidates in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Liz, I'll if you'll indulge me, I actually have a
clip of the conversation that you had on your podcast
with aj Kern, if you can allow me to play
it here.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Here, here's you and aj Kern.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Yeah, you've been putting all of this out there on
social media, and again you have been for years. I
know one of your posts recently was even shared by
President Trump's truth Social account. It's not just your opinion though.
You've documented all of this and you can see for
yourself the screenshots were as you say, Omar changed her
birth year from nineteen eighty one to nineteen eighty two.
(24:25):
Despite the documentation, many still have doubts, especially those who've
pointed out that USCIS doesn't release full records publicly and
name verifications may affect searches. But what do you say
to those who doubt this story.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
I believe that the whole narrative that ilhen Omar became
a citizen at the age of seventeen, that narrative that
that's documented has been sold for so long that people
have bought into it and they believe. But where is
(25:01):
the documentation. No one has seen her official naturalization records.
No one, not the Minnesota Secretary of State, not the
Federal Election Commission, not Congress. And there is enough evidence now,
especially in.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Changing her birth year. I mean, who does that?
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Who goes to that effort of Oh, I'm in Congress
now and I've just noticed that my birth year is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
No, that's a red flag.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know what's interesting, Liz, when you look at the
investigations into ilhan Omar, even beyond this, I know there
was commentary made I believe by borders Are Tom Holman
that they were looking into the allegations that she married
her brother. But on top of that, you look at
the stories that are on Alphanus and what I've covered
on the show today, you got the Education secretary calling
on Walls to resign. We have new concerns regarding unemployment
(25:56):
to insurance fraud. Here we have the daycare centers being paused.
You guys first reported that to yesterday. In terms of
the applications. The Department of Labor is sending a team
to Minnesota to investigate this potential unemployment fraud. I'm going
to need this time off If all of these issues
end up coming to a head in January. I think
(26:17):
we all hope that they do. But the spotlight on Minnesota,
I mean, honestly, Liz, this is more than I even
could have ever expected. I mean, this is it really
is astonishing how we went from like zero to one
hundred in such a short period of time, and now
all eyes of the federal government are on Minnesota investigating
(26:37):
what is taking place.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It's incredible after all these years.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I think it was five or six we recounting last week,
just federal agency that are launching separate investigations, whether it
is into snap, whether it is into fraud at the
DHS level, what's there, whether it's to issuing driver's license
to illegal aliens driving you know, big big rigs on
(27:06):
our roads in Minnesota. And then we have yesterday the
Education Secretary calling for Walls to resign with these ghost
students that have now oh yeah surface but yeah, there's
there's clearly something at work here. And I guess I'd
have a really hard time wrapping my head around if
nothing came of any of these investigations, because they do
seem pretty obvious for any of us that have been reporting,
(27:27):
as you know, on this for for years, right.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I would encourage everybody to head on over to Alpha
neews dot org and thank you guys for the fantastic
reporting you do. You really make it a heck of
a lot easier to do my job well with your
reporting that I'd love to go and share on the
show and comment on. And Liz, thank you for joining
us and and your off and your off the news
team for joining us throughout the year this year, and
(27:52):
look forward to doing it again heading into next year.
But thank you so much for you guys, you know,
devoting some time to the show every week I really
really do appreciate none of the listeners do too.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
We can't thank you enough. We thank your listeners, and
thank you John always for your support. We're all about prosperity,
as you know, the Community of Disparity Administrat. Okay, sorry,
I just had.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Christmas and a happy New Year exactly, you too.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you and Bob and
your family, A, Liz and Uh. I'm sure we'll talk
over the holidays. I'll be available via text, and I'll
be trying to stay away from the news, but I'll
only be able to stay away from so long.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So thanks, so listen, I'll talk to you like two hours.
Thank you. Probably I'll talk to you Christmas. Talk to you,
talk to you in the new year.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I want to wrap on this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It's an ongoing new, ongoing series and center of the
American experiment to support Minnesota's new requirement for a liberated
version of ethnic studies. The University of Minnesota's Center Race, Ingenetity, Disability,
Gender and Sex and Sexual Studies. They're the ones that
are creating the new ethnic study standard lessons for school students.
(29:06):
This is your critical race theory that is now going
to be required at the public school level. When you
look at these activists on the street to this is
the indoctrination that they've gone through that is now going
to be required teaching in our schools. Center of the
American Experiment is now putting forward to videos highlighting what
is taking place with critical race theory ethnic studies. The
first video, hosted by frequent Freedom Friday Show guests to
(29:29):
Grace Keating from the American Experiment podcasts, give this a listen.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
In this week's episode of Coming to a Classroom near You,
we look at the new requirement to teach ethnic studies
in all K twelve schools in Minnesota, which must be
implemented in twenty twenty six. Ethnic Studies includes three distinct standards, Identity, Resistance,
and Ways of Knowing and methodologies. The Center for Race, Indigeneity, Disability,
(29:55):
Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota or RIDGES,
is converting these new Ethnic Studies standards into free lesson
plans for school districts. Ridge's self declared mission is to
challenge systems of power and inequality and imagine social transformation.
Let's take a look at one of these taxpayer funded
lesson plans from the U of M. This first one
(30:16):
is for sixth graders twelve year olds and fulfills the
Ethnic Studies Resistance Standard, which instructs students to organize and
describe how individuals and communities have fought for freedom and
liberation against systemic and coordinated exercises of power. It's called
Protest Art and the Movement for Black Lives. Designed to
take place over three days, the lesson focuses on the
(30:39):
Movement for Black Lives and the role of protest art
in mediating power.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
In the city.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Students will watch a video about George Floyd Square produced
by Unicorn Riot, a nonprofit left wing media collective that can.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Let me let me stop here, just briefly, pure indoctrination,
singular progressive viewpoints that are going now, that are now
going to be required that all Minnesota public school students
take now. Grace covers this later on in the piece
The Way That This Got Passed. I was first exposed
(31:13):
to this going back to two thousand and eight in Arizona,
when critical race theory began to slowly infect our school
system and in southern Arizona, the Tucson Unified School District,
one of the largest school districts in the state, was
one of the first to implement this program, and it
was merely an elective that could also go and replace
(31:36):
American history, and at the time it was almost thwarted.
There was a bill that was put forward SB ten
seventy that would have banned the program outright for being Unamerican. Unfortunately,
over time it ended up failing. And now in a
relatively short period of time, I am disgusted to witness
(31:58):
how this purely Marxist indoctrination has now spread like a
cancer across this country and is now infecting the public
education here in Minnesota for one purpose, and one purpose only,
to create as many Democrat voting activists as possible. When
you see the young people on the street adopting these
(32:19):
ridiculous narratives perpetuated by Democrats blocking law enforcement from doing
their job defending criminals here in the United States and
specifically Minnesota, there is a direct through line to those
young people and the indoctrination that they received at the
public education level here in Minnesota, and that's exactly what
(32:40):
is now going to be required in our public school system.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
As being highlighted here by grace at American Experiment.
Speaker 11 (32:48):
Film's ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter rallies across the country.
Students will also learn how local artists responded to the
death of George Floyd during the twenty twenty riots. Through
mural art, students will create their own protest art for
a cause of their choice. They will even research where
in the city the art could go. One of the
suggestions for protest art from the u of M is
(33:09):
defunding the police. Next, they will work through the Black
Lives Matter Principles Activity Book, which features all thirteen Black
Lives Matter principles and definitions. The principles reflect the organization's
thoughts on families, disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure,
and transgender affirmation to dismantle cisgender privilege.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Again.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
This will be coming to all Minnesota public schools.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Beginning in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 11 (33:36):
When Ethnic Studies was presented to the Minnesota Legislature in
twenty twenty three, it was portrayed as the study of
different cultures, students seeing themselves in the curriculum and learning
honest history. But like so many other familiar terms, Minnesota's
version of Ethnic Studies has been hijacked to apply a
liberated approach to understanding our world. Minnesota students deserve a
(33:58):
robust education that include it's learning hard historical truths and
frank discussions on where this country has fallen short, not
one that is confined to a narrow, politicized and ideological worldview. Recently,
California rejected a statewide ethnic studies mandate because it was
too divisive.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
How will Minnesota respond?
Speaker 11 (34:17):
To see more lesson plan examples or to learn more
about Minnesota's ethnic study standards, visit Americanexperiment dot org slash
ethnic Studies.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Katherine Wigfall, in a subsequent article to this piece, said,
although school boards are not required to use the lesson
plans specifically relating to what was being talked about in
this article, they're ready made nature and backing by a
major institution may make them seem like the default choice
to fulfill the state's mandates. The materials were already shared
(34:47):
with teacher union members during Education Minnesota's MAA Congress Concern Conference.
Concern over this liberated version of ethnic studies is specific.
Minnesota students deserve a robust education that includes learning hard
historical truths in ways that are honest and complete and
frank discussions about where this country has fallen short. It
(35:08):
is a twisting of history to achieve a political end.
In what this indoctrination, critical race theory, this idea of
the pedagogy of the oppressed, the oppressed, and the oppressor.
I watch these students who went through this course as
an elective in Arizona. They go in eager, and there
(35:29):
was one in there. I'll never forget this one story.
There was this one young girl who came in and
if she was actually used as sort of the poster student,
the poster child for the program, and yet even through
that it was clear what the program had done to her.
She'd gone in eager to learn, like so many students do, right,
(35:50):
happy to be You know, not all students are, but
a lot of students are happy.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
They're eager to go and learn, and they.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Go and they take this course, and they think that
they're going to be hearing ethnics. To it sounds like
where we're just going to be hearing about other ethnicities.
I already see ridiculous comments rolling in to the iHeartRadio
app talking about how I don't know what you're afraid
about the truth and race and talking about other ethnicities.
But that's not what this is. To call it ethnic
(36:17):
studies is a ruse. It's a smoke screen to disguise
what the program actually is, because when you go and
push back on it, it's what the talkbackers are saying
in the post. It's that, oh, or you're just a
racist because you don't want students to learn about other
heritage or their own heritage. But we're not talking about
(36:38):
all the other heritage of other students. There's no other
programs in the ethnic studies. You're not covering all the
different demographics of students.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
It to mean possible to go and do so.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
No, this is a straight up progressive Marxist ideology, anti capitalism,
anti conservatism, anti republican gro socialism, and, as Katherin Wigfall
says in her Peace, classrooms should be places for inquiry
based learning and exposure to multiple viewpoints, where students learn
(37:10):
about people, heritage, and culture without stoking distrust of their peers.
But Liberated Ethnic Studies does not live up to this standard. Instead,
it forces an inadequate framing of human identity based on
pan ethnic group labels and invites protest and activism as
reflective reactions to differences. Not only is tribalism unhealthy for society,
(37:36):
advocating for this narrow worldview damages intellectual development. It is
a sad commentary on the state of the Democrat Party
that this is now going to be required of students
because it tells you, much like so much of the
commentary that I shared on the show this morning, ridiculous
comparisons of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the Manger on
(38:00):
Christmas being equal to individuals who have committed crimes in
this country, beyond entering illegally and saying, you know, just
like Mary and Joseph, we should be having more compassion
to these individuals because that's who these people are.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Like.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
This is what Minneapol's police chief Brian O'Haras said, profanity
coming from Governor Tim Walls. They are all examples, just
like this program, of the dangers of what the Democrats.
Democrats perpetuate, but how little they have to argue on
actual policy, that they have to use this type of
language and program to get people to vote for Democrats
(38:37):
in the future. If you missed any portion of today's show,
we shore to check out the podcast. It's available up
on the iHeartRadio app. Shortly after the show, we got
one more to do myself. Brett will be with me
tomorrow in the Master Control booth. Leave your talkbacks overnight
and you can email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I'll talk to you tomorrow morning. Have a great Wednesday. Bye.
Cower three, Twin Cities News Talk from the sixty five
to one carpet. Next Day Install Studios was calling from
Alpha News, will be joining us coming up? She posted
yesterday online a couple of new job hostings at Ennepin County.
If you weren't upset already at the coverage of the news.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
This is, you're.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Either gonna laugh, You're either gonna get mad. You're gonna laugh,
you're gonna cry, and you can choose your own adventure. Fox
nine Governor Tim Wallas has shifted his approach to gun control,
opting for executive orders to address the issue rather than
calling a special legislative session. Because he's a coward. Tim,
If you're listening, you're a coward. The headline from Fox
(00:58):
nine Governor Walls bypasses special election issues. Bypasses special election
issues executive orders on gun control. It's factually correct, but
it's kind of misleading. These aren't gun controlled executive orders.
One order focuses on expanding education about safe storage and
the state's red flag law. The other seeks to collect
(01:20):
data on the societal costs of gun violence, which Walls
expects will face legal challenges. The orders are an attempt
to work around the federal ban on funding gun violence research.
Brian Strausser, chair of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, criticized
(01:40):
the executive orders rightfully so, calling them low impact and
a distraction from the governor's inability to gain support for
his agenda. What we got today were low impact orders
that serve more as political cover than meaningful policy because
behind the scenes, as Fox notes, some DFL legislators have
(02:02):
hesitated to support an assault weapons band despite polling that
shows sixty nine percent of Minnesotan's favor in eighteen percent
strongly opposed.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't care about the polling.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The polling is irrelevant in all of this, and they
don't care about the polling. The polling shows that a
vast majority of Minnesotan's also support biological men boys being
banned from competing against biological girls and women in sports,
and Democrats don't give a rip about that polling. I
(02:34):
don't care about this polling. We elect our representatives. We
elect our officials to go and make these decisions for us,
and if we don't like the decisions that they make,
we go when we find other individuals devote amount of office.
But Walls will not let that happen. He continues to
go and spread the lie that it's Republicans holding all
(02:55):
of this up. I'll play the clip again. This is
a straight up lie that Governor Tim Walls is saying.
There's no way to take a vote unless you have
a special session. And the only person that can call
a special session is Walls.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Doing as aggressive as executive orders as I can today
on gun violence. I'm going to hold the manufacturers accountable.
I'm going to make insurance companies were selling data. We're
going to start researching, and to hell with the federal government.
This thing pulls at seventy percent amongst Minnesotan.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We stop here really quick.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Let me address something with the whole to hell with
the federal government aspect.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So Tim Wall says, to hell with the federal government.
You better start listening to all the people on his
side that vote, because weren't they just protesting no more kings?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Timmy, your own side was telling they don't want no
more kings.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Get off your throat and do something.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Use ball on assault weapon bans and high capacity magazines.
Eighteen percent of Minnesotans are strongly opposed to doing this.
Standing amongst those eighteen percent is the one person who
could get us to a vote and ban this today,
and that's Lisa Uh. The Press, all of us, all
our neighbors, and everyone that she knows. Needs to make
it clear that I have simply asked for a vote.
(04:08):
She can either vote no or she can vote yes.
But the fact of the matter is this would pass
the legislation, we could put this band into place, and
we could save lives.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
He's as much of buffoon as he is evil because
he knows darn well what he's doing. Because Lisa Damoth
like I would love it for the GOP to call
his bluff because with the House divided, if you had
one Republican that went and got support on this and
(04:36):
sent it to the Senate, it's gonna die. There are
three dflers in there in the Senate that aren't going
to vote for this. It just takes one to not
vote for this, and Wallas knows that, so instead he
plays this game. And it really is evil what he's
doing because he knows that it leaves Lisa Damouth with
no place to go. It leaves Republicans with no place
(04:57):
to go because they can't take a vote to call
his bluff on this because he's the only one that
can call for a special session. And yes, people go
and call it out. I call it out, but it
doesn't matter. He keeps repeating it over and over again,
and then when you actually go and question him on it,
he delivers up one of his walls speaking shorthand nonsensical
(05:19):
word salads. Talking about assault weapons, yesterday, he had this
to say, Governor Tim Walls.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
There's two damn many guns and the wrong types of
guns on the street, and I don't want to hear
how do you define assault weapon? I damn sure can
assign what it is and describe what it is in tell.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
By the way, just a bit of a preview if
you're asking if he describes what it is. After saying
he knows how to describe what they are, he doesn't
bother will you what it does?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And unfortunately, we have a whole bunch of parents now
who know a lot more about what these weapons are
meant to do. Not meant to shoot there, They're not
meant to plink. Whoever, a Republican centator said he likes
to plink, and how dare we take away his planking?
They're meant to kill large numbers of people as quickly
as possible and with as much damage as they can
possibly do. I do not have the capacity as governor
(06:11):
to issue an executive order to get rid of those
But what I do have the ability to do is
to start to move in a direction.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Now, you have the ability to call for a special
session and let the elected members of the House and
Senate vote on whether or not they want to go
and past these different firearm gun control measures. You have
the power to do that, and he refuses to do so,
all for the sake of trying to score political points.
(06:41):
It tells you what is internal polling probably says, and
that he's in deep, deep trouble right now. All of
this is a distraction from the fraud and an attempt
to try to shore up support among his Democrats behind
closed doors, because right now they're losing faith in him.
They don't think that he's going to be a good
(07:03):
candidate next year. These are all acts of pure desperation.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Good morning, John, Say, did I hear you use the
word buffoon to describe him?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Walls, I did, perfect, Thanks.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I can't think of a better word to describe him.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Keep up to go to work, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Good morning, John, great show as always. I just wanted
to chime in. I am so tired of hearing the
word assault in front of weapons. I could to hit
somebody in the face and that's an assault too. It's weapons,
and that's it. I'm tired of the corporate media mob
as well as the DFL and the general public, continuing
(07:46):
to call them assault weapons. Weapons do not assault anybody
until a person puts them into action.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Let me leave you with a one more clip from
Walls before we continue with the show. I'll get to
these job postings, share these with you on a somewhat
and it's infuriating, but a lighter note. So this next
clip is Wall's going off more in this press conference
on guns and getting all fired up and dropping profanity,
(08:15):
because this is what he does when he has so
little substance of which to lean into when it comes
to his public comments, he defaults to this quasi anger,
finger pointing and profanity laced tirades like this.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
We had time, we should have been doing this, but
this is a run out the clock.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
This is the oldest strategy in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I don't know if we can define what an assault
weapon ban assault weapon is.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And I'm sorry, I just have to stop here really quick.
It is so appalling the gall on this guy to
talk about running out the clock. That's all he does
is run out the clock. That's all he was doing
on the fraud was running out the clock, turning a
blind eye for as long as a possible could until
the situation could not be ignored any more. His administration
(09:05):
continues to try to run out the clock, stonewalling the
federal government over access to the data in order to
see just how bad the fraud situation is. Fudging the
numbers relating to SNAP benefits. Oh, those are incorrect numbers,
we'sall or we'll get to the other ones at some
point in time.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Maybe. No, it's tear gas lighting.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Do you really think limiting them to less than one
hundred bullets is going to do anything?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, it is going to save lives, just like the
extremist protection orders, which I can pull quotes from many
of these folks who said this will do nothing, This
will not protect lives, this will take away our freedoms.
It's time to start reporting that that is all booked.
It does do something, It does make a difference. And
to stand here and have to look in the eyes
(09:54):
of parents who lost their little ones, shame on them
and shame on us if we don't get this done.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
His Twin Cities News talk Hey Yeah eleven thirty FM
one O three point five and on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hi John Howard, just a comment regarding the earlier call
regarding assault and weapons. You're right, absolutely, we need to
quit linking these two words. But further, we need to
stop using the word weapon. It's a firearm, it's a gun.
It only becomes a weapon when when malice is intended.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
My lord, I wish this guy would show one tenth
of the passion about the frog that's been going on
under his watch, the billions of dollars that have been
stolen from Minnesota taxpayers as he does to gun control.
For the love of Pete. Seriously, Timmy, why don't you
stand up there and tell us who you're going to
(10:53):
fire from your administration for letting this frog go on
for all these years?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, it really is. Thank you for the talkback.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You make a great point, especially when you consider that
when he actually was asked, that would be Governor Tim Walls,
when he was actually asked about whether or not he
takes accountability, he just brushed it off. Well, of course
I take accountability. I take accountability for that. I take
accountability for George Floyd. I take accountability for MSP being
the greatest airport on the planet. I take accountability for
(11:22):
a lot of things. You're right, I wish he showed
the same type of anger, passion, and profanity because of
the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota. I want
to play one more clip during this press conference yesterday
because she's special DFL Representative Emma Agreeman talking about doing
(11:43):
something regarding gun violence in Minnesota. Here listen to uh,
listen to this.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Communities across Minnesota are demanding that we take action to
keep our kids safe. Are then to get these weapons
of war off our Streetso weapons of four weapons of war,
the assault weapons and the high capacity magazines that have
inflicted so much harm in our community and so many others.
Will take legislative action, and in his action, we must take.
(12:14):
And the thing is, the public is with us. As
the governor said, seventy percent of Minnesotan support banning assault weapons,
and the polls reflect what we are all hearing in
our districts across the state, in town halls, in community conversations,
and in emotional calls and emails we are getting individually
from voters across the state. Do something now.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Just really quick, Oh my Garland, where have they been?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
What you clammed up on all of this? It's been
how long now?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And suddenly it's just back at the forefront, just magically,
all of these indoe visuals reaching out to these Democrat representatives.
She must have been I'm convinced that Emma Greeman was
indoctrinated at a really, really early age, because every time
she gets behind a microphone and speaks or is in
the legislative session clip that I've watched, she sounds like
(13:17):
an unintelligent, uneducated high schooler in discussing these issues.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Public is with us. So the question for every lawmaker
is whether we are with them. Standing here today with
Governor Wallas, our DFL leadership and colleagues in the House,
in the Senate, we are saying actions, not just words,
but actions that we are here with you and in
this work with you, and I want to end with
(13:45):
a reminder that our kids are watching and they're taking action.
Ten days after the Annunciation tragedy, I joined middle schoolers
and high schools from my community with students demand action,
with a few here from Justice Page Washburn who walked
out of school with thousands of other students across the
state to demand that we take action to get these
(14:07):
weapons off our streets. They had one simple message to
lawmakers and to the adults in our lives, choose us
over guns.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
This is not a hard choice, such a false notion.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Neecutive action today is about choosing the safety of our
kids over the guns that endanger them.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
If they cared, they could push their ridiculous gun control measures,
but also adopt the safety protocols, the safety measures that
Republicans have put forward time and time again. But they
constantly go and shoot those down. And that's a really
good example of what they do in going and abusing,
and it is, in my opinion, abusing children who aren't
(14:46):
old enough to vote, giving them involved in politics at
an early age when they should just be learning how
to read and write, which is almost impossible here in
Minnesota based off of the math and reading proficiency rates
as they lowered the standards to go and graduate. So
they have something that they can go and point to,
and that is the graduation rates. But they hold these
(15:06):
walkouts being urged by activist representatives like Greenman, just so
later on down the road they can pull it out
and say and the children have spoken as well. And
I walked out with them and they said, choose us
over guns. We're going to talk with Liz Collin from
(15:30):
Alphinus in just a moment. I want to share this
with you though.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So these are.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Submitted new job postings in Hennepin County.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Liz posted this online. I was appalled to.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Find Hennepin County was hiring two new positions that sounded
right out of the nineteen eighties Russia. A community prosperity administrator,
which is wild. According to the quote that Liz posted,
if the Blue nine Extension is guaranteed to make people's
lives easier, why would the government need to hire someone
to administer a prosperity administration isn't cheap. It pays almost
(16:08):
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars a year for a
community prosperity administrator. The other is a climate mitigation manager
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars a year. The tipster
said to Liz Colin, you know, Hennepin cannot change the climate.
It is so unbelievably insulting to the private sector too.
By the way, I just had to sign off on
(16:33):
the paperwork for the paid family leave from ihearta knew
it was coming, but just as a reminder about how
I'm going to lose hundreds of dollars every single year
through a program that I refuse to go and take
part of because I Am not going to put my
generous employers at risk financially by not showing up to
do my job over frivolous reasons. So to have these
(16:57):
positions paid for by your time taxpayer dollars it is
it's insulting to the private sector, tax dollars needlessly thrown
at completely unnecessary jobs that only exist to perpetuate the
liberal agenda and not serve the people of Minnesota. But hey,
if we're looking to make a nice salary, you can
be the community Prosperity administrator.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Make one hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Pretty sure, there's not going to be much in terms
of requirements for this for this job, how often do
you vote Democrat?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Ninety nine percent? Not good enough? How about you? How
often do you vote Democrat? One?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Good You got the job. You are now the Community

Speaker 9 (18:12):
Good morning, John, oh my Garland, Oh my word.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I'm totally stealing that and people are gonna hear it
year round.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Have a great day.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Had somebody picked up on that and maybe that may
be happy. I cannot take credit for that. By the way,
we were watching the Disney movie with Anna Kendrick Nowell
last night.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's what Noel says in that movie. That's one of
my Christmas go tos. Good morning, Liz calling from Alpha News.
How are you maybe.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Hey, I'm doing well, I am Unity Prosperity Administrator. Oh,
I was saying, I'm the Community Prosperity Administrator at Alpha News.
I'd prefer if you refer to me that way.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, all right? Did they up your salary for that gig?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Did they add on to your already massive salary at
alphainus the tune of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars?
Speaker 10 (19:03):
Yeah, exactly. I don't think I have the attitude even.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Applied to such a such a job, especially in Hennipin County.
But oh my Garland, though I do like as well,
I might be ripping that off.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Also, I was looking for a moment all show to
try to go and spike that one, to spike that
one in this posting that you had that I grabbed
the Climate Mitigation manager one hundred and thirty thousand, this
Community Prosperity Administrator one hundred and seventy thousand.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I just it is. I said it a moment ago.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Liz Collin from Alpha News, it is unbelievably insulting to
the private sector right now that still continues to try
to scrape by the businesses that are going to suffer
underpaid family medical even here you have Nipen County creating
these you know, very high paying jobs for absolutely no
reason whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's a joke.
Speaker 10 (19:55):
Yeah, it's funny because we get a lot of these
tips over at Alpha News and it's always like, you know,
people will sometimes attach images or whatnot, and we obviously
have to do our own research to make sure it's real.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And I can't tell.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
You how many times that these job postings come in
where I'm like, oh, this can oh, this can't be real,
and then you can, you know, find it pretty easily
just on a Google search.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
What's crazy is this week as I, you know, get
ready for one more show tomorrow before I head off
on vacation, and typically like everything slows down to a
grinding halt and I'm having to search for content because
there's so little going on.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And I never in my entire.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Career have I ever been this busy in terms of
show content and relevant show content right before my Christmas
vacation that I have been over the course of this
past week.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It is. It is.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It's insane because Democrats are acting insane on so many
of these of these issues.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
No, I couldn't agree more. I said it was saying
the same thing yesterday that being a reporter in minnesot
for nearly twenty years, that at this point, I've never
seen a news cycle like this with the last few weeks,
And actually, I have bad news for you. You you actually can't.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Go on vacation. We took a poll and yeah it's canceled.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I reject that poll as much as I rejected the
poll from Governor Tim Walls at seventy percent of people
in Minnesota want an assault weapons band.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
For crying out loud, John, I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
The Community Prosperity Administrator. I can basically I'm in charge now,
so you can't. Yeah, you can't take vacation. But yes,
so much to talk about, and I know we were
going to focus a bit on congress Woman Ilhan Omar,
which a interesting story that we brought to light. And
I hate to even say we brought it to light
because this gal aj Kern has been there there for years.
(21:45):
But wanted to actually interview her about all of our research.
And I don't think a lot of people were aware
of this story, but all of the screenshots, all of
the research backup aj Kern and her assertion since she
has spent so much time on this, But why is
it that Ilhan Omar mysteriously changes her birth date online
(22:06):
and all her congressional documents after aj Kern basically outs
her I guess if you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Will on social media.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So so she's always said, she's always maintained that she
obtained her citizenship through naturalization through her father at the
age of seventeen. I should say Kern was running for
Congress and brought this to light a few years back
when she was But basically she's doing the math and saying, no, no,
she was eighteen in she was eighteen years old in
(22:34):
the year two thousands. There's no way you know her
story that doesn't match. She's already an adult. So she
brings us to light. Ilhan Omar changes her birth date
on her documentation like just a couple days later after
this is put on social media. Not only that, she
then reaches out to immigration officials. After somebody passes away,
(22:55):
you can basically file you know what, you'd call it
a data request, I guess if you will, to see
if this person is a US citizen. Well, she does
that with il Han's father and receives almost a year
later a response that says, no, there's no record of him,
so from our records.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
He's not a US citizen.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So is a sitting member of Congress not a US citizen.
She's been trying to get the attention of officials in Washington. Basically,
I will say that President Trump did share His people
shared her posts on true Social last week, and Omegan
Kelly also brought this up as well last week. So
(23:37):
we'll be interesting to see if anything comes of this.
But this research, she's done a great job. It's all
on ajkern dot com. People can see for themselves.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
And also she finds that the Secretary of State does
not verify citizenship of candidates in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Liz, I'll if you'll indulge me, I actually have a
clip of the conversation that you had on your podcast
with aj Kern, if you can allow me to play
it here.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Here, here's you and aj Kern.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Yeah, you've been putting all of this out there on
social media, and again you have been for years. I
know one of your posts recently was even shared by
President Trump's truth Social account. It's not just your opinion though.
You've documented all of this and you can see for
yourself the screenshots were as you say, Omar changed her
birth year from nineteen eighty one to nineteen eighty two.
(24:25):
Despite the documentation, many still have doubts, especially those who've
pointed out that USCIS doesn't release full records publicly and
name verifications may affect searches. But what do you say
to those who doubt this story.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
I believe that the whole narrative that ilhen Omar became
a citizen at the age of seventeen, that narrative that
that's documented has been sold for so long that people
have bought into it and they believe. But where is
(25:01):
the documentation. No one has seen her official naturalization records.
No one, not the Minnesota Secretary of State, not the
Federal Election Commission, not Congress. And there is enough evidence now,
especially in.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Changing her birth year. I mean, who does that?
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Who goes to that effort of Oh, I'm in Congress
now and I've just noticed that my birth year is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
No, that's a red flag.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know what's interesting, Liz, when you look at the
investigations into ilhan Omar, even beyond this, I know there
was commentary made I believe by borders Are Tom Holman
that they were looking into the allegations that she married
her brother. But on top of that, you look at
the stories that are on Alphanus and what I've covered
on the show today, you got the Education secretary calling
on Walls to resign. We have new concerns regarding unemployment
(25:56):
to insurance fraud. Here we have the daycare centers being paused.
You guys first reported that to yesterday. In terms of
the applications. The Department of Labor is sending a team
to Minnesota to investigate this potential unemployment fraud. I'm going
to need this time off If all of these issues
end up coming to a head in January. I think
(26:17):
we all hope that they do. But the spotlight on Minnesota,
I mean, honestly, Liz, this is more than I even
could have ever expected. I mean, this is it really
is astonishing how we went from like zero to one
hundred in such a short period of time, and now
all eyes of the federal government are on Minnesota investigating
(26:37):
what is taking place.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It's incredible after all these years.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I think it was five or six we recounting last week,
just federal agency that are launching separate investigations, whether it
is into snap, whether it is into fraud at the
DHS level, what's there, whether it's to issuing driver's license
to illegal aliens driving you know, big big rigs on
(27:06):
our roads in Minnesota. And then we have yesterday the
Education Secretary calling for Walls to resign with these ghost
students that have now oh yeah surface but yeah, there's
there's clearly something at work here. And I guess I'd
have a really hard time wrapping my head around if
nothing came of any of these investigations, because they do
seem pretty obvious for any of us that have been reporting,
(27:27):
as you know, on this for for years, right.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I would encourage everybody to head on over to Alpha
neews dot org and thank you guys for the fantastic
reporting you do. You really make it a heck of
a lot easier to do my job well with your
reporting that I'd love to go and share on the
show and comment on. And Liz, thank you for joining
us and and your off and your off the news
team for joining us throughout the year this year, and
(27:52):
look forward to doing it again heading into next year.
But thank you so much for you guys, you know,
devoting some time to the show every week I really
really do appreciate none of the listeners do too.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
We can't thank you enough. We thank your listeners, and
thank you John always for your support. We're all about prosperity,
as you know, the Community of Disparity Administrat. Okay, sorry,
I just had.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Christmas and a happy New Year exactly, you too.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you and Bob and
your family, A, Liz and Uh. I'm sure we'll talk
over the holidays. I'll be available via text, and I'll
be trying to stay away from the news, but I'll
only be able to stay away from so long.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So thanks, so listen, I'll talk to you like two hours.
Thank you. Probably I'll talk to you Christmas. Talk to you,
talk to you in the new year.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I want to wrap on this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It's an ongoing new, ongoing series and center of the
American experiment to support Minnesota's new requirement for a liberated
version of ethnic studies. The University of Minnesota's Center Race, Ingenetity, Disability,
Gender and Sex and Sexual Studies. They're the ones that
are creating the new ethnic study standard lessons for school students.
(29:06):
This is your critical race theory that is now going
to be required at the public school level. When you
look at these activists on the street to this is
the indoctrination that they've gone through that is now going
to be required teaching in our schools. Center of the
American Experiment is now putting forward to videos highlighting what
is taking place with critical race theory ethnic studies. The
first video, hosted by frequent Freedom Friday Show guests to
(29:29):
Grace Keating from the American Experiment podcasts, give this a listen.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
In this week's episode of Coming to a Classroom near You,
we look at the new requirement to teach ethnic studies
in all K twelve schools in Minnesota, which must be
implemented in twenty twenty six. Ethnic Studies includes three distinct standards, Identity, Resistance,
and Ways of Knowing and methodologies. The Center for Race, Indigeneity, Disability,
(29:55):
Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota or RIDGES,
is converting these new Ethnic Studies standards into free lesson
plans for school districts. Ridge's self declared mission is to
challenge systems of power and inequality and imagine social transformation.
Let's take a look at one of these taxpayer funded
lesson plans from the U of M. This first one
(30:16):
is for sixth graders twelve year olds and fulfills the
Ethnic Studies Resistance Standard, which instructs students to organize and
describe how individuals and communities have fought for freedom and
liberation against systemic and coordinated exercises of power. It's called
Protest Art and the Movement for Black Lives. Designed to
take place over three days, the lesson focuses on the
(30:39):
Movement for Black Lives and the role of protest art
in mediating power.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
In the city.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Students will watch a video about George Floyd Square produced
by Unicorn Riot, a nonprofit left wing media collective that can.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Let me let me stop here, just briefly, pure indoctrination,
singular progressive viewpoints that are going now, that are now
going to be required that all Minnesota public school students
take now. Grace covers this later on in the piece
The Way That This Got Passed. I was first exposed
(31:13):
to this going back to two thousand and eight in Arizona,
when critical race theory began to slowly infect our school
system and in southern Arizona, the Tucson Unified School District,
one of the largest school districts in the state, was
one of the first to implement this program, and it
was merely an elective that could also go and replace
(31:36):
American history, and at the time it was almost thwarted.
There was a bill that was put forward SB ten
seventy that would have banned the program outright for being Unamerican. Unfortunately,
over time it ended up failing. And now in a
relatively short period of time, I am disgusted to witness
(31:58):
how this purely Marxist indoctrination has now spread like a
cancer across this country and is now infecting the public
education here in Minnesota for one purpose, and one purpose only,
to create as many Democrat voting activists as possible. When
you see the young people on the street adopting these
(32:19):
ridiculous narratives perpetuated by Democrats blocking law enforcement from doing
their job defending criminals here in the United States and
specifically Minnesota, there is a direct through line to those
young people and the indoctrination that they received at the
public education level here in Minnesota, and that's exactly what
(32:40):
is now going to be required in our public school system.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
As being highlighted here by grace at American Experiment.
Speaker 11 (32:48):
Film's ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter rallies across the country.
Students will also learn how local artists responded to the
death of George Floyd during the twenty twenty riots. Through
mural art, students will create their own protest art for
a cause of their choice. They will even research where
in the city the art could go. One of the
suggestions for protest art from the u of M is
(33:09):
defunding the police. Next, they will work through the Black
Lives Matter Principles Activity Book, which features all thirteen Black
Lives Matter principles and definitions. The principles reflect the organization's
thoughts on families, disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure,
and transgender affirmation to dismantle cisgender privilege.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Again.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
This will be coming to all Minnesota public schools.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Beginning in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 11 (33:36):
When Ethnic Studies was presented to the Minnesota Legislature in
twenty twenty three, it was portrayed as the study of
different cultures, students seeing themselves in the curriculum and learning
honest history. But like so many other familiar terms, Minnesota's
version of Ethnic Studies has been hijacked to apply a
liberated approach to understanding our world. Minnesota students deserve a
(33:58):
robust education that include it's learning hard historical truths and
frank discussions on where this country has fallen short, not
one that is confined to a narrow, politicized and ideological worldview. Recently,
California rejected a statewide ethnic studies mandate because it was
too divisive.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
How will Minnesota respond?
Speaker 11 (34:17):
To see more lesson plan examples or to learn more
about Minnesota's ethnic study standards, visit Americanexperiment dot org slash
ethnic Studies.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Katherine Wigfall, in a subsequent article to this piece, said,
although school boards are not required to use the lesson
plans specifically relating to what was being talked about in
this article, they're ready made nature and backing by a
major institution may make them seem like the default choice
to fulfill the state's mandates. The materials were already shared
(34:47):
with teacher union members during Education Minnesota's MAA Congress Concern Conference.
Concern over this liberated version of ethnic studies is specific.
Minnesota students deserve a robust education that includes learning hard
historical truths in ways that are honest and complete and
frank discussions about where this country has fallen short. It
(35:08):
is a twisting of history to achieve a political end.
In what this indoctrination, critical race theory, this idea of
the pedagogy of the oppressed, the oppressed, and the oppressor.
I watch these students who went through this course as
an elective in Arizona. They go in eager, and there
(35:29):
was one in there. I'll never forget this one story.
There was this one young girl who came in and
if she was actually used as sort of the poster student,
the poster child for the program, and yet even through
that it was clear what the program had done to her.
She'd gone in eager to learn, like so many students do, right,
(35:50):
happy to be You know, not all students are, but
a lot of students are happy.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
They're eager to go and learn, and they.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Go and they take this course, and they think that
they're going to be hearing ethnics. To it sounds like
where we're just going to be hearing about other ethnicities.
I already see ridiculous comments rolling in to the iHeartRadio
app talking about how I don't know what you're afraid
about the truth and race and talking about other ethnicities.
But that's not what this is. To call it ethnic
(36:17):
studies is a ruse. It's a smoke screen to disguise
what the program actually is, because when you go and
push back on it, it's what the talkbackers are saying
in the post. It's that, oh, or you're just a
racist because you don't want students to learn about other
heritage or their own heritage. But we're not talking about
(36:38):
all the other heritage of other students. There's no other
programs in the ethnic studies. You're not covering all the
different demographics of students.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
It to mean possible to go and do so.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
No, this is a straight up progressive Marxist ideology, anti capitalism,
anti conservatism, anti republican gro socialism, and, as Katherin Wigfall
says in her Peace, classrooms should be places for inquiry
based learning and exposure to multiple viewpoints, where students learn
(37:10):
about people, heritage, and culture without stoking distrust of their peers.
But Liberated Ethnic Studies does not live up to this standard. Instead,
it forces an inadequate framing of human identity based on
pan ethnic group labels and invites protest and activism as
reflective reactions to differences. Not only is tribalism unhealthy for society,
(37:36):
advocating for this narrow worldview damages intellectual development. It is
a sad commentary on the state of the Democrat Party
that this is now going to be required of students
because it tells you, much like so much of the
commentary that I shared on the show this morning, ridiculous
comparisons of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the Manger on
(38:00):
Christmas being equal to individuals who have committed crimes in
this country, beyond entering illegally and saying, you know, just
like Mary and Joseph, we should be having more compassion
to these individuals because that's who these people are.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Like.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
This is what Minneapol's police chief Brian O'Haras said, profanity
coming from Governor Tim Walls. They are all examples, just
like this program, of the dangers of what the Democrats.
Democrats perpetuate, but how little they have to argue on
actual policy, that they have to use this type of
language and program to get people to vote for Democrats
(38:37):
in the future. If you missed any portion of today's show,
we shore to check out the podcast. It's available up
on the iHeartRadio app. Shortly after the show, we got
one more to do myself. Brett will be with me
tomorrow in the Master Control booth. Leave your talkbacks overnight
and you can email me Justice at iHeartRadio dot com.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I'll talk to you tomorrow morning. Have a great Wednesday. Bye.
