Latest / Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags / The Video Proves It Was Self-Defense: Liz Collin Exposes the ICE Shooting "Murder" Hoax
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What you're about to watch is actively being lied about
- 0:03Speaker 1: by city leaders, by the national media, and by people
- 0:05Speaker 1: who want chaos instead of the truth. Last week of Minneapolis,
- 0:09Speaker 1: an ice agent was hit by a car. There's a
- 0:11Speaker 1: video from the agent's own cell phone proving it. You
- 0:15Speaker 1: can hear the engine rev you could hear the command drive,
- 0:18Speaker 1: baby drive, and yet politicians and cable networks are still
- 0:22Speaker 1: telling you it never happened. Why is that that lie
- 0:24Speaker 1: has consequences Because while they pretend it didn't happen, mobs
- 0:28Speaker 1: are stalking federal agents at their homes, They're breaking into hotels,
- 0:32Speaker 1: blocking roads, and the local police are being ordered to
- 0:34Speaker 1: stand down. But that's not the most disturbing part. In
- 0:37Speaker 1: this interview. You're going to hear investigative journalist Liz Colin
- 0:40Speaker 1: reveal why federal authorities have now stepped in and why
- 0:44Speaker 1: serious questions are resurfacing about elon Omar's citizenship that have
- 0:47Speaker 1: never been answered ever. This is in partisan. It's about
- 0:51Speaker 1: the truth and what happens when an entire city is
- 0:53Speaker 1: pushed into an alternative reality.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of an alternate reality here, Joe, But
- 0:58Speaker 2: we've talked about that, I think again and again, Yeah,
- 1:00Speaker 2: we were able to obtain that cell phone video that
- 1:03Speaker 2: shows from the agent's point of view what took place
- 1:06Speaker 2: last Wednesday with Renee Good. You can clearly hear he's
- 1:10Speaker 2: hit by the vehicle, the engine is revving. You have
- 1:13Speaker 2: Renee's wife saying, drive, baby, drive. You can hear that
- 1:18Speaker 2: on that cell phone clip. Also, and DHS release video
- 1:21Speaker 2: on Saturday with a little bit more of the story
- 1:24Speaker 2: as well, showing that that vehicle was parked there for
- 1:27Speaker 2: several minutes. Many vehicles were actually part of this blockade
- 1:31Speaker 2: and they are honking their horns and creating this very
- 1:34Speaker 2: chaotic scene throughout that Minneapolis neighborhood on Wednesday morning. I
- 1:39Speaker 2: will say we have very good sources over at Alphinews
- 1:41Speaker 2: because we really are dedicated to telling the truth. You
- 1:44Speaker 2: can see again and again each day how the mainstream
- 1:47Speaker 2: media and Minnesota is framing this thing, doing their best
- 1:50Speaker 2: to continue to incite a lot of this and fan
- 1:53Speaker 2: the flames rather than simply telling the truth about what
- 1:56Speaker 2: took place that morning. So that's a little bit more
- 1:59Speaker 2: about out how we obtained the video. But again, you know,
- 2:03Speaker 2: with a lot of these incidents, it's so important just
- 2:05Speaker 2: to release what is out there. We have seen the crowds.
- 2:09Speaker 2: There's a lot of money pouring in to Minneapolis, and
- 2:11Speaker 2: we have a well organized activist activist groups that take
- 2:16Speaker 2: the streets in these situations. But I do think that
- 2:19Speaker 2: the video helped to change many minds.
- 2:21Speaker 3: If there were questions, I.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Think so as well. I compared and contrasted to your
- 2:26Speaker 1: coverage of George Floyd had the bodycam video been released
- 2:29Speaker 1: though George Floyd, immediately, you probably don't have riots in Minneapolis.
- 2:33Speaker 1: And the reason why we all saw he was in
- 2:35Speaker 1: the car. He said, I can't be in the car
- 2:37Speaker 1: in claustrophobic and Chauvin says, we'll bring you to the ground.
- 2:40Speaker 1: He says, yeah, bring me to the ground. I mean,
- 2:42Speaker 1: if we see all of that, and then we know
- 2:43Speaker 1: about the Feednyl and his system and so on, you
- 2:46Speaker 1: probably don't have this so called summer of love. This
- 2:49Speaker 1: was out there pretty quickly. The first video we saw,
- 2:51Speaker 1: we see the one agent trying to open her door
- 2:54Speaker 1: because he said get out of the car. She doesn't
- 2:55Speaker 1: get out, and then he puts his arm in the
- 2:57Speaker 1: in the actual vehicle, she puts it in reverse, puts
- 2:59Speaker 1: it and we can't really see the other ice agent,
- 3:03Speaker 1: because in the foreground is the first ice agent. The
- 3:05Speaker 1: second video we see is from overhead through some trees,
- 3:09Speaker 1: where you clearly see him being pushed away by the car.
- 3:11Speaker 1: He got hit by it, but it's a far shot.
- 3:14Speaker 1: It's a really long shot. The one that you release
- 3:16Speaker 1: shows definitively unless the guy is such a good actor
- 3:19Speaker 1: and flint. Second, he thought to himself, let me pretend
- 3:23Speaker 1: on my camera that I'm being hit and then shoot
- 3:26Speaker 1: this lady. Of course that can't happen, so definitively we
- 3:29Speaker 1: know he was struck by the vehicle. Jacob Fry has
- 3:32Speaker 1: to admit that now. So what he says is, oh,
- 3:35Speaker 1: it was like he got hit by by a refrigerator door,
- 3:37Speaker 1: no problem. He danced away or he jogged away jolly
- 3:41Speaker 1: or something like that. So is it on him? Is
- 3:44Speaker 1: it on walls? Is it on the people who aren't
- 3:46Speaker 1: critically thinking? Whose fault? Is it? That if you and
- 3:49Speaker 1: I go out there right now, that people on the
- 3:51Speaker 1: streets will still say that he wasn't hit, that he
- 3:53Speaker 1: executed her.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Yeah again, I think it's it's sort of like people
- 3:58Speaker 2: have their their minds made up and they don't want
- 4:01Speaker 2: Sometimes the facts. Common sense is not common among these groups.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I think we see that as well. We saw thirty
- 4:07Speaker 2: people arrested over the weekend Joe in Minneapolis. They were
- 4:10Speaker 2: damaging property to downtown hotels, blocking traffic. They went into
- 4:15Speaker 2: hotels that they thought ICE agents were staying, breaking windows,
- 4:20Speaker 2: spray painting buildings. Many tense situations still playing out on
- 4:24Speaker 2: the streets today. They're following ICE agents doing their jobs,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and there's a lot more of them here.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Now.
- 4:30Speaker 2: We have these paid ICE agitators, but they're getting in
- 4:33Speaker 2: their way, creating chaos. Many videos out there on x
- 4:36Speaker 2: mobs of people attempting to block traffic, record ICE officers.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I can see for myselves just the databases they keep
- 4:43Speaker 2: in real time of what they're doing to basically stock
- 4:45Speaker 2: these officers and keep them from doing their jobs.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Here in Minnesota, it.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Is Liz Collin. Go to Alphanus dot Orgalfanues dot org,
- 4:53Speaker 1: go follow her Liz coln over two els I n
- 4:57Speaker 1: over On. Actually's a great follow incredible report, incredible anchor,
- 5:01Speaker 1: incredible journalist. So as we're watching this unfold, we find
- 5:04Speaker 1: out more about the actual ICE agent. We find out
- 5:07Speaker 1: this is the same guy that in Minnesota was dragged
- 5:10Speaker 1: by an illegal alien trying to get away from him,
- 5:12Speaker 1: thirty some odd stitches in his leg and comes back
- 5:15Speaker 1: on the job. And he's back in Minnesota and he's
- 5:18Speaker 1: doing the job again, and now he's vilified. He's married
- 5:20Speaker 1: to this doesn't matter, but he's married to an immigrant,
- 5:23Speaker 1: So you can't say he's anti immigrant. He's a guy
- 5:26Speaker 1: who actually put his life on the line that day
- 5:28Speaker 1: being dragged by an illegal alien. Yet somehow we're supposed
- 5:31Speaker 1: to believe he's a Nazi from nineteen forty three. Again,
- 5:35Speaker 1: we're not going to break through the mindset of the
- 5:36Speaker 1: idiots that pay people to go and do what they're
- 5:39Speaker 1: gonna do. Why do you think that people of Minnesota,
- 5:41Speaker 1: the good people of Minnesota, those who are falling for
- 5:43Speaker 1: the okie duck buy into an idiot like Jacob Fry
- 5:46Speaker 1: My word, Nott, youre is the idiot. He's dancing around
- 5:49Speaker 1: with the Somali flag, he's eating Somali food, looks like
- 5:51Speaker 1: he can't hit limp, he's pretending he can. He's speaking
- 5:53Speaker 1: Somali on these videos. Why are they buying his his act?
- 5:58Speaker 1: I don't understand. This is a guy from Northern Virginia, Liz.
- 6:01Speaker 1: He's not some guy from Minneapolis born and raised. He's
- 6:04Speaker 1: some activists from like Alexandria who showed up in Minnesota
- 6:08Speaker 1: to sort of push that progressive way. Why are they
- 6:10Speaker 1: buying him?
- 6:12Speaker 2: You know, I think it's pretty convenient timing too, and
- 6:14Speaker 2: you would hope people have more common sense than this Joe.
- 6:18Speaker 2: They're trying to deflect from this massive fraud investigation, massive
- 6:23Speaker 2: frauds that that are being investigated, I should say, by
- 6:26Speaker 2: the federal government at this point. You can clearly see
- 6:29Speaker 2: how they're trying to deflect that by now. But yeah,
- 6:32Speaker 2: I mean, this is something that I've questioned myself for
- 6:35Speaker 2: a long time. But I will say that I hear
- 6:36Speaker 2: from so many Minnesotans on a daily, gosh, on an
- 6:39Speaker 2: hourly basis, frankly, that say, you know, thank you for
- 6:42Speaker 2: speaking up for us. They're embarrassed by looking at these
- 6:45Speaker 2: scenes as well. So this is not something that speaks
- 6:49Speaker 2: to what most of us believe here. In fact, recent
- 6:52Speaker 2: polling suggests that most people support the ice efforts in Minnesota.
- 6:57Speaker 2: We recently ran a poll about just.
- 6:59Speaker 1: That it is illegal to block the road, it's illegal
- 7:03Speaker 1: to obstruct justice, it's illegal to get in the way
- 7:06Speaker 1: of a federal officer doing his or her job. All
- 7:09Speaker 1: of that is illegal. But now you've got a police
- 7:11Speaker 1: chief and this Brian O'Hara guy, who I think things
- 7:13Speaker 1: he's Somali two, who will not help ICE, will not
- 7:16Speaker 1: go and arrest people for breaking local ordinances or city code.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He won't go and make sure people understand that your
- 7:22Speaker 1: First Amendment doesn't cover you beeping your horn for three
- 7:25Speaker 1: straight minutes like renee Good did and blocking the ability
- 7:29Speaker 1: of ICE agents to do their jobs. So, if you've
- 7:31Speaker 1: got no local law enforcement, then they show up on
- 7:33Speaker 1: CNN O'Hara and Fry and say, well, nobody let us
- 7:36Speaker 1: know how many or coming. Nobody even contacted us. Why
- 7:39Speaker 1: would the federal government contact them? So I guess a
- 7:42Speaker 1: long question shorter. If they're not going to uphold the
- 7:45Speaker 1: law through law enforcement in Minneapolis and through the state
- 7:48Speaker 1: of Minnesota, I sketch to do it, they just do.
- 7:53Speaker 1: So what's the argument from these people that are in
- 7:56Speaker 1: power in that city that they don't have to help ICE? Whatsoe?
- 7:59Speaker 1: Even the guy in Shoice, after that stupid call that
- 8:01Speaker 1: said we're not going to give you assistant, said these
- 8:04Speaker 1: ICE agents are our law enforcement officers. We're going to
- 8:07Speaker 1: support them. We're going to give them back up. They
- 8:10Speaker 1: are our brothers in blue. Even they get it in Chicago.
- 8:12Speaker 1: For God's sake, what is it going to take for
- 8:15Speaker 1: these people in Minneapolis or in Minnesota understand, either get
- 8:18Speaker 1: out of the way, because I think, oh, this is crazy.
- 8:21Speaker 1: I think Ohera and Fry can be arrested for getting
- 8:23Speaker 1: in the way as well. I think Walls can be
- 8:25Speaker 1: arrested for inciting all of this.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Well.
- 8:29Speaker 2: And I think that's again why so many people are
- 8:31Speaker 2: so thankful that the federal government is here taking a
- 8:33Speaker 2: look at all of this. They've kind of come in
- 8:35Speaker 2: here to go ahead and investigate so many different things
- 8:38Speaker 2: all at once. You almost need a federal takeover to
- 8:41Speaker 2: get to the bottom of this. But let me just
- 8:44Speaker 2: highlight a couple other things, Joe, that were said this
- 8:46Speaker 2: week here. And you had Congresswoman Ilhan Omar had plenty
- 8:49Speaker 2: to say to protesters. She said this, we are going
- 8:52Speaker 2: to make sure that these people pay for what they
- 8:54Speaker 2: have done to us, referring to Ice. And you also
- 8:58Speaker 2: have our Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who's running for a
- 9:01Speaker 2: Senate seat now at the moment, but she's serving under walls.
- 9:04Speaker 2: She told the crowd this weekend to put their bodies
- 9:07Speaker 2: on the line. These are their words.
- 9:10Speaker 3: I agree.
- 9:10Speaker 2: There is so much there to talk about, how they
- 9:13Speaker 2: continue to incite this and what you have to go
- 9:16Speaker 2: ahead and recognize just the irony. Also, the state is
- 9:20Speaker 2: so upset that the Feds will not let them investigate
- 9:23Speaker 2: this incident. Right, We've heard a lot about that, the
- 9:25Speaker 2: FBI taking over the investigation into the shooting death of
- 9:28Speaker 2: Renee Good, and local officials. Mayor Fry are saying, you know,
- 9:32Speaker 2: they don't trust trust the federal government. Well, I'm pretty
- 9:34Speaker 2: sure that feeling is mutual from the Fed's coming in.
- 9:39Speaker 2: And just to highlight that point, you had the BCA
- 9:42Speaker 2: in charge of the investigation into the death of George Floyd.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Well what happened.
- 9:46Speaker 2: It took six months for them to go back to
- 9:48Speaker 2: the vehicle of George Floyd where they then recovered pills
- 9:52Speaker 2: containing methemphetamine and feanolouldn't that had been nice to know
- 9:56Speaker 2: early on in the investigation.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Well, you're right, I mean, you nailed it. I'm going
- 10:01Speaker 1: to add to it a little bit when you say,
- 10:03Speaker 1: get the f out of our city, we don't want
- 10:05Speaker 1: you here. When you're the police chief and you say,
- 10:07Speaker 1: if you see somebody who's dressed as law enforcement, they
- 10:10Speaker 1: might not really be law enforcement. They could be kidnapping
- 10:12Speaker 1: somebody called nine to one one. Why the blank would
- 10:15Speaker 1: anybody in the federal government trust anybody in the local
- 10:18Speaker 1: government to work with And by the way, there is
- 10:20Speaker 1: no requirement for the federal government to include anybody in Minnesota,
- 10:23Speaker 1: none at all. Have they worked together before. Sure, somebody
- 10:26Speaker 1: robs a bank, it's a federal crime, you work together
- 10:28Speaker 1: with the local law enforcement. I get that. But when
- 10:30Speaker 1: you preemptively say we hate you, we're not going to
- 10:33Speaker 1: help you, we think you're disgusting, We're going to call
- 10:35Speaker 1: nine one one on you, and people should put their
- 10:37Speaker 1: bodies in front of you. Why would you then say, hey,
- 10:40Speaker 1: we had a shooting in your city. You want to
- 10:41Speaker 1: work together. You wouldn't.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Else say Joe, that I hear from cops all the
- 10:47Speaker 2: time across the states, specifically in Minneapolis too, that they're
- 10:50Speaker 2: embarrassed by what has been allowed to play out and
- 10:53Speaker 2: just demoralized at these scenes. They were there on Friday night.
- 10:56Speaker 2: They want to start arrest these people are breaking windows,
- 11:00Speaker 2: at hotels in downtown Minneapolis. Well, what happens. The DNR
- 11:04Speaker 2: officers are out there in the state patrol and MPD
- 11:07Speaker 2: has to basically go hands off and get out of there.
- 11:10Speaker 2: You actually had the police chief on camera what I
- 11:12Speaker 2: would call retreating back to the squad cars being chased
- 11:16Speaker 2: out of there by a mob.
- 11:18Speaker 1: And the reason why he was there is to try
- 11:20Speaker 1: to get the squad car out of the mob that
- 11:22Speaker 1: they've allowed to happen. It's such a strange circular screw
- 11:25Speaker 1: up in Minnesota right now. It blows my mind. I
- 11:28Speaker 1: want to get into Tim Walls and whether his job
- 11:30Speaker 1: is on the line, because you're starting to hear some
- 11:31Speaker 1: rumblings out of the state legislature. But you mentioned elon Omar.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I've got to talk to you about this because there
- 11:37Speaker 1: was a measure brought up by Nancy Mace in the
- 11:39Speaker 1: US House of Representatives to just see the immigration records
- 11:42Speaker 1: of elan Omar, and it was turned down by both
- 11:45Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats. And then they came back and said,
- 11:47Speaker 1: if you asked nicely, maybe we can see it. Liz,
- 11:50Speaker 1: in your reporting in what you know, is there a
- 11:53Speaker 1: question about whether she was ever even naturalized.
- 11:57Speaker 2: There are many questions that that still remain unanswered. There's
- 12:02Speaker 2: an awful lot of evidence there Joe to say that
- 12:05Speaker 2: she did not Her birth date in fact changes basically
- 12:09Speaker 2: overnight when someone brought this to the attention of her
- 12:13Speaker 2: office years ago, basically saying that she was not eighteen
- 12:18Speaker 2: at the time. And we've done many stories about this,
- 12:21Speaker 2: not only that, but committing what one would consider to
- 12:26Speaker 2: be immigration fraud by basically marrying her brother so he
- 12:30Speaker 2: could be a US citizen. An awful lot of documentation
- 12:32Speaker 2: about that as well. So she's up there with with,
- 12:39Speaker 2: you know, one of the many in Minnesota that I
- 12:42Speaker 2: think many people would would like to just are their
- 12:45Speaker 2: consequences for these you know, lives, for these frauds, ongoing
- 12:49Speaker 2: frauds on many levels.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Joe, I know how good you are at what you do.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Have you seen paperwork that she's been naturalized. Have you
- 12:58Speaker 1: seen pictures of her waving the American flag, happy at
- 13:02Speaker 1: the ceremony? Have you seen anything that would suggest she's
- 13:05Speaker 1: a naturalized American citizen.
- 13:08Speaker 2: No, there's nothing along those lines at all to support anything.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Aj Kern, in fact, is the name of the woman
- 13:14Speaker 2: who brought this to light. And I recently interviewed her
- 13:16Speaker 2: and she went through all of her documentation. She has
- 13:18Speaker 2: spent years following the trail. But you're right, there is
- 13:24Speaker 2: nothing to suggest that there was any type of ceremony
- 13:27Speaker 2: or anything that that happened claiming that she became naturalized
- 13:30Speaker 2: through her father. And there's no paperwork to even suggest
- 13:35Speaker 2: that he was ever a US citizen. In fact, a
- 13:38Speaker 2: lot of evidence to point to the fact that he
- 13:41Speaker 2: never was a US citizen. So how could she then,
- 13:44Speaker 2: you know, be a citizen.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Well, she couldn't. It is Liz Collins, Senior reporter Alpha
- 13:49Speaker 1: Neus at alphaus dot org. Follow Liz and alphaanus over
- 13:52Speaker 1: on X. I saw her on with Jake Tapper or somebody.
- 13:55Speaker 1: I think it was Tapper, maybe not. It was some
- 13:57Speaker 1: idiot over on CNN. My word again, not yours. And
- 14:00Speaker 1: she's sitting there and she literally said, this ice agent
- 14:04Speaker 1: dove in front of the car so that he can
- 14:06Speaker 1: shoot Renee Good. This is Omar sitting there, and Jake
- 14:10Speaker 1: Tapper has seen the video that you released. He knows
- 14:13Speaker 1: that the officer was hit, he knows that it was
- 14:16Speaker 1: in self defense. He doesn't push back whatsoever. So I
- 14:19Speaker 1: mean that's just me making a statement. But let me
- 14:21Speaker 1: ask you this. It's a rhetorical softball, Liz, but I
- 14:24Speaker 1: want you to hit it out of the park. Why
- 14:25Speaker 1: do you think Jake Tapper and Dana Bash and all
- 14:28Speaker 1: these idiots on these networks they just want to kiss
- 14:30Speaker 1: up to the left. Why don't they just look at
- 14:31Speaker 1: her and let her answer the question, did you marry
- 14:34Speaker 1: your brother to help him immigrate? Here? Just look her
- 14:38Speaker 1: in the face and say, did you marry your brother?
- 14:41Speaker 1: Why don't they do that?
- 14:43Speaker 2: I think you're afraid perhaps at the answers. This is
- 14:46Speaker 2: the basically the environment that I left after being a
- 14:50Speaker 2: reporter and anchor in corporate media in Minnesota for fifteen years.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Don't ever expect questions.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Like that from the robotic media of Minnesota. In fact,
- 15:00Speaker 2: I was highlighting just on my X page recently, Joe,
- 15:03Speaker 2: about how they're covering this shooting. I encourage people to
- 15:05Speaker 2: see that for themselves. But you have reporters on the
- 15:07Speaker 2: scene of these faced offs with ice agents and they're
- 15:11Speaker 2: talking about how the agents open fire on them. Well,
- 15:15Speaker 2: they're you know, deploying tear gas right to get the
- 15:17Speaker 2: crowds back. But this is how they're phrasing this as
- 15:20Speaker 2: if they're at war with these ICE agents. Again, just
- 15:23Speaker 2: trying to incite all of this. And you also have
- 15:26Speaker 2: the newspaper, the Star Tribune and Fox nine, which is
- 15:30Speaker 2: the Fox affiliate here. They would like to hear of
- 15:35Speaker 2: different ICE reports in the community so they can know
- 15:39Speaker 2: about them. They're encouraging people to shoot video tell us
- 15:42Speaker 2: where this is happening, and you know, we'll go ahead
- 15:45Speaker 2: and keep you anonymous, but we want to see these
- 15:47Speaker 2: standoffs in real time.
- 15:49Speaker 3: It's really quite sick, to be honest.
- 15:51Speaker 1: What mind boggles me is that you saw a CBS
- 15:54Speaker 1: reporter out there the other day shut down during the
- 15:57Speaker 1: live shot because she was being shouted down during the
- 15:59Speaker 1: live shot. This is CBS, for God's sakes, and still
- 16:02Speaker 1: CBS isn't saying these people are nuts, these people are
- 16:05Speaker 1: out of control and ICE needs more support. And then
- 16:08Speaker 1: I saw Ali Bradley, my friend from NewsNation, was just
- 16:11Speaker 1: sitting there getting just got done doing a live shot.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Some woman started screaming at her, very thick Minnesota accent.
- 16:16Speaker 1: She was obviously a local, screaming at her the F word.
- 16:19Speaker 1: This the F word that some guys taking the video
- 16:22Speaker 1: and Ali because of her safety had to say to
- 16:24Speaker 1: her cameraman, let's go to a different position. We can't
- 16:26Speaker 1: stay here. So even with the media seeing the media
- 16:29Speaker 1: being treated like crap, I mean, is this is this
- 16:33Speaker 1: weird suicidal empathy so deep in the media that they
- 16:36Speaker 1: can't even say, hey, they've turned on us as well.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Maybe we should take a different slant on this.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You bring up some great points, Joe, I really cannot
- 16:46Speaker 2: understand it for the life of me.
- 16:48Speaker 3: But but yeah, to kind.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Of you see this like cheerleading behavior, to sort of
- 16:52Speaker 2: cheer this on, right, and this, you know, pitting themselves
- 16:56Speaker 2: against the federal government really makes no sense to me.
- 17:00Speaker 2: It seems to be the message should be, you know,
- 17:03Speaker 2: that we should not interfere with law enforcement and the
- 17:06Speaker 2: job that they're doing. Seems like a simple enough message.
- 17:10Speaker 2: But you know, it has certainly helped for us to
- 17:13Speaker 2: just report the news and get the facts.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Out there over on Alpha News.
- 17:16Speaker 2: So in a way, it's perhaps it's a job security
- 17:18Speaker 2: for what we're trying to do each and every day.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Well, it is a job security for me too, because
- 17:22Speaker 1: we're alway going to tell the truth. It's Liz Collin
- 17:23Speaker 1: go to Alphanus dot org and go follow her at
- 17:25Speaker 1: Liz Collin over on X. I want to finish with
- 17:28Speaker 1: this when it comes to the media, and I wonder
- 17:30Speaker 1: if you think this is a fair comparison. I remember
- 17:32Speaker 1: BLM Black Lives Matter, that very far left Marxist LGBTQ
- 17:36Speaker 1: organization that doesn't care about black lives. They were rioting
- 17:40Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and one guy was on the local news
- 17:43Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock that night and he said, I can't
- 17:45Speaker 1: believe that they shot holes in my windows, and they
- 17:48Speaker 1: stole this out of my yard and they ruined this
- 17:51Speaker 1: that or the other that was in the yard. I've
- 17:53Speaker 1: got my BLM flag up. Didn't they see I'm a supporter,
- 17:57Speaker 1: I'm an ally Why did they do this to me?
- 17:59Speaker 1: It's almost that's what we're seeing from the media in Minnesota.
- 18:02Speaker 1: It's like they want to say, don't worry, I'm on
- 18:04Speaker 1: your side, but they can't say that on camera on CBS.
- 18:07Speaker 1: It's like they're blown away. Why are you coming after us?
- 18:09Speaker 1: We're the good guys. Are they starting to realize that,
- 18:12Speaker 1: you think, Liz, is there a chance they'll realize that
- 18:14Speaker 1: you can put any flag out that you want. They're
- 18:16Speaker 1: still going to do bad people will still do bad things,
- 18:19Speaker 1: or you think the media in that town is never
- 18:20Speaker 1: gonna wake up.
- 18:22Speaker 3: You know, I thought by now they would.
- 18:24Speaker 2: I'm not sure what it would take for them to
- 18:25Speaker 2: do so, but I will say that many of our
- 18:28Speaker 2: best tips come from mainstream media report.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Really, what does that tell you?
- 18:32Speaker 2: They sort of know, you know, what they can and
- 18:35Speaker 2: can't report. So I think that's always a pretty telling
- 18:40Speaker 2: telling detail there, Joe. I think many of them are
- 18:43Speaker 2: upset with what takes place on a day to day basis.
- 18:45Speaker 2: There is still some good reporting that that happens here
- 18:48Speaker 2: and there, but really on a wide scale, it's pretty rough.
- 18:54Speaker 2: And many of these these folks actually believe this. You know,
- 18:57Speaker 2: they're they're really not journalists, they're activists at this point.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Not agree more, Liz Colin, all right, Liz, let's talk
- 19:02Speaker 1: about Minnesota fraud. For the past several days, since Renee
- 19:04Speaker 1: Good was shot and killed because she ran her car
- 19:07Speaker 1: into a police into an ice agent, we haven't talked
- 19:10Speaker 1: about Minnesota fraud much at all. You see Jacob Frye
- 19:12Speaker 1: and Brian O'Hara and Tim Walls finding any camera they
- 19:15Speaker 1: can to talk about the Gestapo ice and about Hitler.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Is Trump and so on, and this is a war
- 19:21Speaker 1: between Minnesota and Washington. I don't think they had anything
- 19:25Speaker 1: to do with the death of Renee Good. I'm not
- 19:26Speaker 1: suggesting that, but this is like what rom Emmanuel said,
- 19:29Speaker 1: never let a serious crisis go to waste. They have
- 19:32Speaker 1: been able to brush under the rug, at least openly.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Maybe you're gonna tell me that it's different, maybe underneath things,
- 19:37Speaker 1: but they've brushed under the rug all of this fraud.
- 19:40Speaker 1: And there's massive I heard a number one hundred and
- 19:42Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars possible just in Minnesota in fraud. I
- 19:45Speaker 1: don't know how real that is, but they have been
- 19:47Speaker 1: able to get that off the front pages. Is there
- 19:49Speaker 1: still investigating going on when it comes to the fraud
- 19:51Speaker 1: in Minnesota? Where are we on that?
- 19:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually think they're just in the early stages
- 19:56Speaker 2: of the fraud investigations, to be quite honest, Joe, we
- 19:59Speaker 2: had the Treasuries Secretary in town.
- 20:00Speaker 3: He was here on Friday.
- 20:01Speaker 2: I was part of a round table as he was
- 20:05Speaker 2: talking about what they were doing to crack down on
- 20:07Speaker 2: wire frauds specifically, he was highlighting and some other maneuvers
- 20:10Speaker 2: they've made within the Treasury. But What was interesting is
- 20:14Speaker 2: David was a part of this panel. We now know
- 20:16Speaker 2: him as just David, but he's a part of that.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Nick Shirley the viral video, and he talked about how
- 20:22Speaker 2: there is supposed to be today, in fact, Monday, another
- 20:25Speaker 2: video that he described as ten times worse than the
- 20:29Speaker 2: one we already saw surrounding Somali fraud in Minnesota. So no,
- 20:33Speaker 2: many of us anxiously are waiting to see that. We
- 20:36Speaker 2: put out recently some developments, and it does seem that
- 20:39Speaker 2: there are some things happening. But the Minneapolis school district,
- 20:44Speaker 2: their finance director was recently placed on leave, and we've
- 20:47Speaker 2: been doing some investigating into the transportation contracts within that
- 20:51Speaker 2: school district, and all of a sudden, this guy is
- 20:54Speaker 2: placed on leave and he's up for a job in Milwaukee,
- 20:58Speaker 2: and we make some phone calls about these developments, and
- 21:01Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's no.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Longer in the running for that job.
- 21:03Speaker 2: So I encourage people to check out our reporting over
- 21:05Speaker 2: a over at Elphin News. But this is a spider web,
- 21:10Speaker 2: it does seem, but a lot more of this is
- 21:13Speaker 2: bubbling to the surface. And again I don't think the
- 21:15Speaker 2: fens here are messing around. They have an awful lot
- 21:18Speaker 2: of tentacles in place in the state.
- 21:20Speaker 1: It's not Liz Colin. Liz, as you know, I'm a
- 21:22Speaker 1: former television news anchor. I did the job pretty well,
- 21:24Speaker 1: not as good as you. But I want a bunch
- 21:26Speaker 1: of omarriganin journalist. IM like, get how journalism works. I'll
- 21:30Speaker 1: tell you this. If I were covering this story, and
- 21:32Speaker 1: I wonder if you agree with this, and I definitely
- 21:33Speaker 1: want you to expand upon this. If I were covering
- 21:36Speaker 1: this story and Wall said, man, we got to get
- 21:38Speaker 1: to the bottom of this fraud. Somali community, any community.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I don't care what it is. This isn't any good.
- 21:43Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the bottom of it. If Fry said, man, fraud,
- 21:46Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a Somali community, whoever hell
- 21:48Speaker 1: it is. They're stealing money from Minnesota's They're stealing American
- 21:51Speaker 1: tax payer money. We're going to get to the bottom
- 21:52Speaker 1: of it. If they did that, I as a reporter
- 21:55Speaker 1: would not have my spidy senses going off. But what
- 21:58Speaker 1: makes them go off for me, and I'm for you
- 22:00Speaker 1: as well, is when Wall says this is a problem
- 22:03Speaker 1: with white men. When Wall says, this community is Minnesota.
- 22:07Speaker 1: When Fry starts eating food that he clearly doesn't like
- 22:10Speaker 1: and doing Somali dances and doing videos in Somali in
- 22:14Speaker 1: the language, when you've got Brian O'Hara talking about our
- 22:16Speaker 1: neighbors and call the police if you see somebody picking
- 22:19Speaker 1: somebody up, Liz, My spotty sensors are going off that
- 22:23Speaker 1: these people, if they're not all connected to what's going
- 22:26Speaker 1: on fraudulently, then they're just really really stupid. So I
- 22:29Speaker 1: don't think they're really dumb guys. So all of that said,
- 22:32Speaker 1: because I know that you're a straight line reporter, maybe
- 22:34Speaker 1: you won't give me an opinion. Maybe you'll give me
- 22:35Speaker 1: a little bit. But is there any information connecting Tim
- 22:39Speaker 1: Walls and Jacob Fry and Brian O'Hara and Peggy flanagan
- 22:43Speaker 1: to the Somali fraud?
- 22:47Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe, I guess what you're saying about the messaging
- 22:50Speaker 2: I think has been very telling. They've either remain silent
- 22:54Speaker 2: on the fraud issue or twisted this all up into
- 22:57Speaker 2: race or some sort of deflection that it that.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Is taking place. That is quite telling.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Tim Walls has been a governor for seven years. There
- 23:05Speaker 2: is no way that he wasn't aware of this. In fact,
- 23:08Speaker 2: we've heard from so many whistleblowers at this point that
- 23:11Speaker 2: said they in fact asked for meetings with Governor Tim
- 23:14Speaker 2: Walls to talk about what was happening within DHS, and
- 23:19Speaker 2: those meetings were declined. Not only that, but they wouldn't
- 23:22Speaker 2: even reply to emails and different things that were brought
- 23:26Speaker 2: to light and to the surface. So and we we
- 23:28Speaker 2: have people within Mayor Jacob Fries inner circle that were
- 23:32Speaker 2: clearly connected to the to this as well. So there's
- 23:35Speaker 2: just no possible way that this wasn't known at that level.
- 23:39Speaker 3: I have no doubt.
- 23:39Speaker 2: However, you were a great television anchor. He probably didn't
- 23:43Speaker 2: have to spend as much time as I do on
- 23:44Speaker 2: my hair.
- 23:45Speaker 1: By the way, Joe, but nowhere near a quick to
- 23:49Speaker 1: go yeah it is that, Liz Colin. Go to Alphanus
- 23:52Speaker 1: dot org Alphanues dot org. As we talk about it,
- 23:55Speaker 1: more fraud is going to be coming out, more information
- 23:58Speaker 1: will be coming out. Is Tim Walls facing the possibility
- 24:02Speaker 1: of impeachment of my friend Dustin Grage posted I'm sure
- 24:05Speaker 1: you know Dustin as well, post it over on x
- 24:08Speaker 1: that there is rumbling from inside insiders in the legislature.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I don't love using insiders, but I get it. Are
- 24:13Speaker 1: saying that Republicans are getting ready to file impeachment papers
- 24:18Speaker 1: on walls. Is that happening.
- 24:20Speaker 3: It is happening.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Articles of impeachment are in the process of being filed.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I will say that I've been in touch with legislators
- 24:27Speaker 2: as well. They've talked about you know, this really is
- 24:29Speaker 2: a long shot. They'll need some Democratic support for this,
- 24:32Speaker 2: but they still want to go ahead. This isn't something
- 24:34Speaker 2: that's going to you know, be happening overnight, but they
- 24:37Speaker 2: believe they can force this to a vote, and they say,
- 24:40Speaker 2: you know that they want to go ahead and send
- 24:42Speaker 2: the message that they condone this, calling him the most
- 24:46Speaker 2: corrupt governor in Minnesota history, and you know, they don't
- 24:51Speaker 2: want to remain silent. So we do see those maneuvers
- 24:54Speaker 2: happening within at the state capitol in Saint Paul Joe.
- 25:00Speaker 1: It's been a week or so since he announced, maybe
- 25:02Speaker 1: it's been a week actually since he announced he wasn't
- 25:04Speaker 1: running for reelection. Do we now know the real story
- 25:07Speaker 1: why he did that? Because again there's speculation about Amy
- 25:10Speaker 1: Klobashar wants to be the governor, and if she becomes
- 25:12Speaker 1: the governor, then opens her seat, and then she can
- 25:14Speaker 1: give Walls the seat. If Walls is this dirty or
- 25:17Speaker 1: at least gives the appearance that he's this dirty because
- 25:19Speaker 1: of all this fraud, I don't think Clobishar would want
- 25:22Speaker 1: to give him the job, because that would make her
- 25:23Speaker 1: look like an idiot. Do we know the real reason
- 25:25Speaker 1: why he resigned? Is there some sort of smoking gun
- 25:28Speaker 1: that he's fearful it's going to be coming out soon.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Well, we're hearing from the federal government that there is there.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Referred him to the DOJ. They're trying to get him
- 25:39Speaker 2: in February to answer questions from oversight. We'll see if
- 25:43Speaker 2: that takes place now that he has said that he
- 25:46Speaker 2: is not running for reelection. What's also interesting, Joe, he
- 25:49Speaker 2: was suspiciously quiet this weekend. He hasn't held a press
- 25:52Speaker 2: conference since Friday, which is unlike him. He was on
- 25:56Speaker 2: X basically pleading with the public to stay this weekend.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Those were his messages. We also did see him this
- 26:03Speaker 2: morning go to the memorial site of Renee Good. He
- 26:07Speaker 2: was there alongside is his wife. But beyond that, we
- 26:11Speaker 2: have yet to hear from him. We do know, you know,
- 26:13Speaker 2: there has been many calls for him to resign his
- 26:16Speaker 2: words last week, or that he would resign over his
- 26:19Speaker 2: dead body, is what he said. It's also a thing
- 26:23Speaker 2: that Klobashar has not made an announcement yet. One would
- 26:26Speaker 2: think that that would need to happen pretty quickly. So
- 26:30Speaker 2: we're kind of tracking all of this all at the
- 26:33Speaker 2: same time to see how it shakes out.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Here is the election this year.
- 26:39Speaker 3: It is twenty sixth in November.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Yep, okay, so I live in Texas As. You know,
- 26:44Speaker 1: they had a file by December eighth of last year
- 26:47Speaker 1: if they were running for anything. Is there is there
- 26:48Speaker 1: a due date for the for her to announce that
- 26:50Speaker 1: she's running.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Well, that that's what's interesting. I think she's kind of
- 26:54Speaker 2: on borrow time at at this point. They were even
- 26:56Speaker 2: expecting it to happen last week. Of course, then this
- 26:59Speaker 2: shooting to place, so that may have been you know,
- 27:03Speaker 2: may have turned things sideways as far as that all went.
- 27:07Speaker 2: So I would suspect that it happens soon. But you
- 27:09Speaker 2: also do see pretty telling. It seems that there is
- 27:13Speaker 2: some distance now being created from Senator Amy Clobshar and
- 27:17Speaker 2: Governor Tim walls, and he, as I said, was very
- 27:20Speaker 2: quiet this weekend, not on any national shows.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Didn't have anything to say.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Liz, I want to finish with this such incredible knowledge.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I could literally talked to you for two or three hours.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Let me finish on this as we're watching it all unfold,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and as the good people in Minneapolis and well beyond
- 27:33Speaker 1: in Minnesota are not out in the streets acting like
- 27:36Speaker 1: useful idiots, the ones who understand when you saw that
- 27:39Speaker 1: video that you released, that yes he was hit, Yes
- 27:41Speaker 1: he was defending himself. When you see that Ice is
- 27:44Speaker 1: there to get the bad people out of the community
- 27:46Speaker 1: and leave the community better. Is there a chance Republicans
- 27:49Speaker 1: can start making some traction, making some waves in that state.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Can you have a doctor Jensen or somebody else win
- 27:56Speaker 1: the governor's job, even if it is an Amy Klobshar
- 27:58Speaker 1: who's very popular, get it, but she still hasn't really
- 28:01Speaker 1: done much for Minnesota. Is there a chance that you
- 28:03Speaker 1: can win one of those one of those Senate seats
- 28:06Speaker 1: back to the Republican side. Any of that looked promising
- 28:08Speaker 1: at least, well, Joe, there's.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Always a chance, as the saying goes right, both have
- 28:13Speaker 2: a very crowded, crowded field for governor on the Republican side,
- 28:17Speaker 2: I think I've lost track if it's twelve thirteen folks
- 28:20Speaker 2: who have now filed for that. But you know, I
- 28:24Speaker 2: will say, if there's one criticism people have been saying,
- 28:26Speaker 2: you know, why could the government, why could the Feds
- 28:29Speaker 2: wait until September to spring all of this on Minnesota
- 28:32Speaker 2: because they did think that Walls was, you know, that
- 28:35Speaker 2: the candidate to beat this time around and was very
- 28:37Speaker 2: vulnerable for many reasons. So, you know, Senator Globashar is
- 28:42Speaker 2: kind of a political institution, I guess if you will
- 28:46Speaker 2: in Minnesota. But you're right, it's tough to point to
- 28:49Speaker 2: any anything that she has really done. I will say that,
- 28:53Speaker 2: you know, Republicans remain very hopeful, and I think you're
- 28:55Speaker 2: seeing that they are more aggressive now in their their messaging.
- 28:59Speaker 2: It seems as the the Wins are you know, shifting
- 29:02Speaker 2: a bit here.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I meant that to be the last question, but you
- 29:06Speaker 1: reminded me of something, not anything that you said, but
- 29:08Speaker 1: I was hoping to ask you this before I let
- 29:09Speaker 1: you go. Is Keith Ellison is the the attorney general?
- 29:13Speaker 1: Is he the person that doles out the money to
- 29:14Speaker 1: the NGOs in Minnesota. I heard that. I don't know
- 29:17Speaker 1: if I heard that from you or somebody else. Does
- 29:19Speaker 1: he have control of the money. If so, might they
- 29:22Speaker 1: be looking at him too.
- 29:24Speaker 2: You know, I think they're looking at him, perhaps for
- 29:27Speaker 2: other reasons as the top law enforcement officer in Minnesota.
- 29:32Speaker 2: He though, Joe has just told us again and again
- 29:34Speaker 2: how much he's been doing to fight fraud, which is interesting.
- 29:38Speaker 2: We've yet to really see much on that side. Instead,
- 29:41Speaker 2: he seems to be focused more on business, small businesses
- 29:43Speaker 2: in Minnesota, fleet farm, I mean, you name it that,
- 29:46Speaker 2: that's what he's doing. The manufacturers of you know, vehicles
- 29:50Speaker 2: and whatnot. But I would say that, you know, if
- 29:53Speaker 2: we're talking about the pocketbook overall, that would belong to Tim,
- 29:58Speaker 2: Tim Walls. And we heard even from this this David
- 30:02Speaker 2: on Friday talking about that the Feds need to he said,
- 30:05Speaker 2: swoop in like Batman and get a hold of what's.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Going on in DHS.
- 30:08Speaker 2: That this money needs to stop before it's given to
- 30:11Speaker 2: these these frausters, and not worry so much about, you know,
- 30:14Speaker 2: what's going overseas, but stop it before it's paid at all.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Liz Colin, Senior reporter, a great host over at Alpha News.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Go to Alphanus dot org go follow her everywhere online.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Both Alphanus and Liz Collins separately on X Thanks for
- 30:28Speaker 1: the incredible work and the incredible knowledge as always. I
- 30:30Speaker 1: know I've asked you to come on a lot lately,
- 30:32Speaker 1: but you've got so much going on and I love
- 30:33Speaker 1: having you on.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Thank you, appreciate you, Joe, thank.
- 30:36Speaker 1: You, all right, we'll talk soon. That's it round shaking
- 30:39Speaker 1: an underfraid with Joe Paggs this time. Another one will
- 30:40Speaker 1: drop very soon.
