Tampon Tim Gets Heckled: Veterans Fight Back at the Capitol
|
Time
Text
Hey folks, we had Veterans Day on the Hill.
We had it this last week, and boy, did it get saucy.
It got a little saucy.
We all saw Tim Walls in the world news getting heckled in his own capital.
As a veteran, he stood at the podium, now as governor, being heckled by his green coat brothers and sisters.
Hmm. Weird how that happens when you do cowardly and dastardly deeds and then seem to abandon your people.
But anyway, we're going to have a discussion today about Tim's little heckle and then his little speech that he gave.
There were just a few things that came up in the things that he said that don't quite really match up much with what seems to be going on.
So stick with us.
Don't go away.
We start now.
We start now.

If you're new, thanks for coming.
I hope that you'll come back and hang out with us.
But hey...
There were some fireworks.
It was pretty sweet.
And then Tim felt like he had to go on and give his three or four minute speech.
I just wonder if he practices it.
Because you see him, he looks pretty confused.
He looks a little intimidated maybe by all the people that were calling him a coward in the audience.
So we'll see.
And spreading lies.
And things like that.
But hey, before we go any further, I know that you won't mind me telling you about how the show is made possible, and that is Cortez Wealth Management.

All right, let's continue.
Oh, one other thing.
One other housekeeping thing.
I feel like I owe my...
Co-workers here at the studio and the audience and everybody else, I owe you a little bit of apology.
I feel like my last couple shows were a little slow and boring.
And I get comments often, folks, by the way, that I do move too slow.
So maybe that's par for the course.
But in the month of March, I had a couple brain operations, and so I was just a little...
I'm recovering still, so I was just a little slow.
Trying to find my new bearing with the hardware they left in my brain.
So anyway, appreciate your grace on that one.
We're going to do better.
So anyway, Tampon Tim, in the rotunda of the state capitol here in Minnesota, and out of all places, out of all states in the union, maybe aside from California or Washington State, You would have thought that he would have been welcomed with open arms by people.
But veterans here in the state aren't very happy with their state government in the arena of Veterans Affairs and probably for a lot of other reasons.
There's a lot of promises made by both the federal and state government when it comes to veterans issues.
And then you get people like Tim standing at a podium talking about how this is a great opportunity.
To take better care of veterans and how he's not going to compromise.
He's not going to compromise on veterans issues for any reason at all whatsoever.
Because this is the most important thing that he can do.
Is give back to the men and women that sacrificed everything for this country.
And he sings that narrative often.
So like this wasn't something that was out of left field.
He often sings these praises of his administration and his state legislature.
The only thing that has really worked really great for veterans, especially veterans at high risk or veterans who are in desperate need of services, is that there are people also voted
into the legislature that also see some shenanigans.
And so they take a stand in committees on the House floor.
And so the only hope for a lot of these things is that you can just slow down some of this legislation.
You can slow down this...
Power grab that seems to be happening.
Because what happens is, and we'll see it, because I got some of the raw footage from the news before they chopped it up and added all their commentary.
Just the raw footage.
It's like a 14-minute video of his whole speech, him being heckled, and then him giving some little press conference in the back hall behind the podium, taking questions from the media.
But what's often talked about is all these great successes.
That we have, but we never really talk about how we get there and who gets trampled on in the interim.
And who really, who's really taken the fall and taken the hit for underserved veterans.
Even here in communities in Minnesota, I suppose that's really all I can speak intelligently about because I live here.
I am a veteran.
I take advantage of some of the benefits that I earned.
And do all of us have problems?
No, not all of us have problems with the system.
But it seems like when you go out and actually meet veterans that are in these situations, and you talk to them, and you have a conversation that's longer than a couple minutes of pleasantries, You're not just kind of stroking them because there's a camera on you or you're trying to win over a vote or you're trying to do something other than really genuinely show concern and
advocate for this person that's standing across from you or sitting across the table from you.
In fact, I have here Governor Walz, on his website currently, right now as we are talking right here into this microphone right now, currently on his website.
Governor Walz, his accomplishment board, right?
It's on the Minnesota.gov website, the governor's website.
It's key accomplishments.
Okay, so I'm just going to read this to you real quick.
Governor Walz's signature accomplishments.
Governor Walz and the Lieutenant Governor, which is Ms. Flanagan, took over in January 2019 on the promise of One Minnesota, the vision that while we are not all the same, we are at our best when we work across the lines of difference to improve the lives of all Minnesotans.
Facing unprecedented challenges, Governor Walz and his Lieutenant Governor Flanagan led with focus on investing in the things that matter most.
Children and families, I'd agree with that.
Economic opportunity.
Health and safety.
I don't know.
Wasn't Governor Walz the one that put our kids in confinement at home?
Wasn't he the one that was putting tampons in bathrooms in schools?
Allegedly, litter boxes showed up somewhere.
Who knows if that's really true?
I don't know.
I don't know if he did a whole lot to lift up all these things.
Hmm. They also continue building on the accomplishments of their first term to improve the lives of Minnesotans across the state.
And so this is just the opening paragraph.
And then there's a couple little icons with their key accomplishments on it.
First one, historic investments in education.
I won't read all the descriptions.
Protecting personal freedoms.
Hmm. I wonder if that has to do with abortions and drugs.
Prescription drugs and shots and vaccines and all that other shit.
Oh, improving public health and safety.
That's probably where the vaccines and the shots and all this stuff is.
Governor Walz took a meaningful action to protect communities from gun violence.
Really? Did you?
Governor Walz?
What's the murder rate in Minneapolis since you took over?
Is it significantly lower?
Is it significantly higher?
I'm not quite sure on what those raw numbers are, but I do remember seeing or reading and talking to other friends of mine in the law enforcement community here in Minnesota.
People are getting murked all the time.
People are getting shot and killed and murdered all the time.
Minneapolis, like nobody's business.
St. Paul, same thing.
Outlying areas of Minnesota?
I guess I don't know.
I don't do that research.
I don't live out there.
But we certainly can find it.
I don't know.
Is that one of your key accomplishments, Governor Walz?
He also did expanding workers' rights, strong communities and infrastructure, tax cuts for working families and the middle class, workforce development, expanding voting rights.
Huh. Expanding voting rights.
How many people who are not U.S. citizens voted in the last presidential election from Minnesota?
How many of them were from Hennepin County?
How many of them were from just the Twin Cities in general?
How many of those people should have really been voting?
How many of those alleged votes were stolen some years ago?
Stu Peters and I, when we were doing Patriotically Correct Radio, had obtained footage from an anonymous source in the Somali community who had video of Ilhan Omar giving instruction on how to approach elderly Somali folks in the community and offering them cash for their mail-in ballots.
Blank mail-in ballots, mind you.
Wonder what happened to all those.
So, there, we did a whole lot to expand voting rights, it seems.
Maybe that's true.
Lowering prescription drug costs, protecting our environment, cutting child poverty, increasing access to affordable housing, legalizing adult-use cannabis.
I'll agree with that one.
That's a good one, Tim.
Protecting Minnesota consumers and protecting seniors.
These are his Signature accomplishments.
With the time he's been in office since 2019, these things I just read to you are listed as his signature accomplishments.
Now, what I think we should do here...
First of all, do we like this?
This is the first time I've ever done a picture-in-picture thing.
I think it's kind of cool.
Maybe I'm a little behind on the times.
But for my skill level, this is pretty sweet when it comes to...
Like, putting audio and visual stuff together.
So, don't yuck my yum, folks.
But let's hear what Timmy has to say about his plan for veterans.
And before we get to his plan, let's take a little bit of joy in listening to the heckling commence.
Here we go.
Check this out.
Thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Well, there's the face change.
Oh boy.
Let me finish, man.
Well, who's this guy?
There's some passion in the building, which is a good thing.
Look, we've got an opportunity here.
We've got an opportunity to continue something that this group, and I'm going to give the credit to it, the Commander's Task Force of the organizations came to this Capitol, and with this administration, we said...
Okay, before we go on, let me tell you guys something here.
For those of you not in Minnesota and don't know me, even if you are Minnesota, the Commander's Task Force is not a government agency.
The Commander's Task Force is a bunch of old-time, feel-great officers that served in the National Guard.
They got some active-duty guys with a little bit of clout, maybe.
But they're not government officials.
They're not a government agency.
I believe they have a non-profit, so they may be a non-profit for sure.
The Commander's Task Force apparently, allegedly, has single-handedly told the state government that they need to have some kind of approval authority on what happens with veterans' issues and the veterans' budget.
Allegedly. I don't know if this is true.
It seems to be true because all of these people that are in this...
Commander's task force.
They all end up in politicians' offices.
A lot of these folks were high-ranking field-grade officers in the military.
Commanders of some sort.
And so, I just find it interesting that for somebody like Tim Walls, who is roaming around the country, talking about his disdain for a man, That isn't a government official to be dabbling in government issues of any kind on a stage in front of hundreds of people,
however often he does it.
Also is going to allow his legislature, his administration, to be swayed by some group of guys who just can't let it go called the Commander's Task Force.
These guys, they believe they're saving the lives of veterans and that they're the voice.
They're the voice of Minnesota veterans all over the state.
And so they believe that it's their duty, it's their position to go to the state government and persuade them to do what they think is best.
And they usually, to the best of my knowledge, from people that...
It's all part of the good old boy club that used to be a large part of the Minnesota Army National Guard some years ago.
Now all these guys are retired and they like to still get together and have their coffee and talk about dumb shit.
Anyway, let's continue.
I just thought I'd throw that in there.
Little soapbox for you.
Before we decide how we're going to do budgets, in good years and bad years, we are going to do veterans' issues first.
We're going to remove them from the political discussion, and we will not balance budgets or pit veterans against children, transportation, and seniors, and we will fund them according to the needs.
That has happened six years in a row.
Six years in a row, folks.
Listen to the man.
This collective work, bipartisanly, nearly unanimously, has put historic amounts of money into veterans' issues.
We are going to become the fifth state and the largest state to eliminate veterans' homelessness in this state.
Oh. Well, maybe that's cause for our first pause.
Or maybe it's our second.
We're going to be the fifth state in the union to end veterans' homelessness.
Well, just a few days ago, I don't know if this is important to anybody, but just a few days ago, there was an article put out.
In fact, I have it.
I have it right here.
It was put out by the Minnesota legislature.
The state of Minnesota legislature, on their own website, Put out omnibus veteran military affairs bill proposes small spending increase.
So Governor Walz is calling for a $50 million increase in his proposed budget for veterans issues.
And they go through and they talk about all these different things.
Veterans homes, $2 million.
Meals on wheels for veterans in rural areas.
That's actually a really good program.
Some of those guys need to eat too.
So that is actually a good program.
Meals on Wheels for Veterans has been a deal for quite a while, and they do a good job.
So that should be funded.
They talk about, there's a lot of money going to veterans' homes.
Apparently we have an astounding amount of veterans in Minnesota that are in need of nursing care, that need a vet's home.
So if the need's out there, then we should build them.
But here, the homelessness part is what got me.
Because it was put out two days ago.
Let me find it here.
There were cuts made.
There were a couple cuts made.
And the cool thing is that what he's talking about, ending veteran homelessness, was what was cut.
They cut...
$700,000 from the initiative to end veterans' homelessness.
And so the legislature has seen that we've been battling this for many years.
We've made a dent in the numbers, but we just can't get over the hump.
And so just for context...
In 2020, Minnesota had 416 homeless veterans.
They say.
This is the numbers that were reported by the state of Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs.
In 2021, that number dropped to 287, which is a pretty nice little bump.
In 2022, we went back up to 290, so we got three more homeless veterans a year later.
In 2023, there was 336 homeless veterans in the state of Minnesota.
And we've been shoving money at this thing for a long time in the way of non-profits.
Non-profits that do work that claim to Take veterans off the streets and put them in housing.
When the truth is that there isn't a whole lot of...
Oh, in 2024 we went down to 184 veterans.
2023 was 336.
24 was 184.
So we made a big dent in the year's time.
23 to 24. But when the governor is standing just three days ago, or four days ago now, on a podium talking about we are going to be the fifth state to end veteran homelessness,
but yet the ranking member or the chair of the Veterans Committee is saying, well, we're cutting $700,000 for that program.
Because he went on to say, Mr. Bliss, Who is a good guy.
I've been watching the committee hearings.
Senator Bliss is a pretty good dude.
Pulling money from these initiatives is not just cutting the budget line.
It denies veterans the opportunity to find stability and live with dignity, said Mr. Neil Lloyd, who's the CEO of a nonprofit here in Minnesota that claims to be destroying veterans' homelessness.
Mr. Bliss went on to say, we decided this year that we would like to see veteran suicide take a higher priority than it is currently getting.
Homelessness is very important, and we didn't cut it to zero like our goal was, like the governor talked about, just two days prior to this article coming out.
Two days before this came out.
The governor is standing in front of a whole rotunda full of veterans talking about how we're going to end it.
We're going to be the fifth state.
Take it to the bank.
Check's in the mail.
And two days later, we're cutting $700,000.
We're going to focus more on veteran suicide and improving that number, which I can't agree with more.
Do veterans need to be put in housing?
Yes. Absolutely.
A thousand percent.
But the point is this.
Millions and millions of dollars are going to ending veteran homelessness in the state of Minnesota alone.
Billions probably nationwide.
And for many, many years, these numbers have not seen the bumps that we just talked about.
In 2020 to 2024, we went from 416 homeless veterans to 184.
It's not a bad dent.
But let's also take into account the amount of taxpayer money that's going to these programs.
Programs like this non-profit that we mentioned, they do some things very well.
They do a pretty good job at helping veterans to not get homeless, to not get to that point.
They'll help you out with a bill.
Damage deposit on a new place.
They have some resources to help you out.
But for an organization that says we are going to be the flagship organization that is going to end veteran homelessness in this state, along with our partners at the state government, the legislature, and the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs, we are going to end this thing.
And in 2013, When I was working for a different nonprofit that built home housing, supportive housing, for homeless veterans or veterans who were in danger of becoming homeless,
the number wasn't much higher than 400.
It wasn't 450.
And I know that at that time, way back then, There was a lot of grant money going to non-profits.
There was a lot of money going to paying people from out of the state from different organizations to come in and construct this registry and have these town halls or these meet-ups or whatever so we can get veterans documented.
We need them to give us the info.
We need all of their information so that we can create a registry to work off of so that when all of these different These different organizations that offer supportive housing, or they offer a way for a veteran to get into a rent-to-own program, or a cheap house that they might be able to afford a mortgage on if they have some kind of employment.
Something. They did a lot of that.
We filled ours up.
With the help of this nonprofit, they helped with a lot of the damage deposits of our residents.
And boy, it was a huge help.
I mean, I'll give credit where credit is due.
But if we're going to say that we're the flagship and we put out these big, beautiful annual reports and we hold these big, beautiful galas and things like that to raise funds, but we're still...
We're still housing.
We're still not housing.
Hundreds of veterans.
I looked at their annual report for 24. They spent like $20 million on operating costs.
And I understand it takes a lot of money to operate.
But in all these years...
When you claim to be a place that can provide housing for people who need it, whether you're going to buy it, remodel it, and get it up to snuff so that people can live there, or maybe it's already turnkey, or you're going to build something, which is what they claimed they were going to do.
They're going to build homes.
They're going to build this big apartment building or something.
It's been years, and we haven't housed.
450 vets?
In over 10 to 15 years?
Thank you.
Where's all the money going?
And like I said, they do.
They throw great galas.
And their offices are beautiful.
The people that work for them are well paid.
But, but,
But you tout this goal of ending this thing.
I just don't see how we can keep celebrating a success of an organization that isn't doing what they say they're going to do.
Now, if they said, hey, we're going to bend over backwards to make sure veterans don't go from housed to homeless, all right, cool, because they do that good.
They do a good job at that.
But then you also are going to claim that you're the flagship.
And maybe nobody has contested it or opposed it because they're the only show.
Maybe that's it.
Who knows?
Anyway, that's enough of that soapbox.
Let's continue.
Mr. Freaky Tim Walls.
We have opened more Mm-hmm.
We have a lot of vets that need nursing care.
Mm-hmm.
You better.
You must fund them every single year for the needs that are there.
So here's my thing, right?
I mean, we need to provide nursing care for veterans who qualify.
I agree with that a thousand percent.
We have now with three new ones, there must be six or seven vets homes in the state of Minnesota.
That's a lot of veterans.
I wonder how many vets homes Texas has or California, Florida.
I wonder if there's a lot.
I'm not trying to throw shade here.
I really don't know.
But again, $50 million of taxpayer money is what he's asking.
He's asking for $50 million more for the veterans budget.
And now, so maybe this sounds weird, right?
Like, here's a guy doing a veterans show saying that, well, maybe we need to look at this veterans budget.
Because the truth is, what a lot of people don't see or don't understand is that
there's a massive increase in money and things like veterans issues, not a whole lot of people bat an eye at it.
Not a whole lot of people take the time to go, well, hold on a second.
This will probably get approved if it hasn't already.
There'll be this massive veterans budget, which is great.
If all the money goes to actually serve veterans.
In years past, we've seen massive veterans budgets push forward.
You don't see any real results.
Maybe we'll see a big, huge, new, beautiful veterans memorial put up in some small town in Minnesota and it's beautiful and it's great.
It's by water or whatever.
They do a really good job at that stuff.
Maybe we need seven or eight veterans homes.
Maybe we do.
But my question isn't about memorials.
It's not about VA homes.
It's not about things that veterans really actually need.
It's more about where is this money going to provide this stuff?
Where are these contracts going?
And who's getting all this money?
And is all of this really that expensive?
And maybe it is.
But the troubling part for me is that nobody really ever asks the question.
They just assume, well, it's vets' issues.
And so, let's just throw money.
Let's do this.
Let's do that.
Let's do all kinds of things.
Let's just throw money at it.
And meanwhile, there's people sitting in the back that are parts of these organizations, and they're just watching the government checks come in.
And a lot of times the veterans that they say they're going to help and the numbers and the percentages and the proposed outcomes and all this stuff never really equals out to be what's promised.
But they spend all the money because a well-known thing in government contracts and government money and government budgets, if you don't spend it all, that means you must not need it.
So if you come back to us next year and you ask for more, but you didn't spend it all last year, you're screwed.
And so then the idea is, well, we need to spend all of this as much as we can.
We need to spend all of it.
Which is usually why around August, September, usually August, You start seeing government contractors and government organizations burning through money.
Because all of these things aren't really as expensive as they say they are.
Contractors and nonprofits and these contracting officers between government and civilian NGOs or nonprofits or whatever you want to call them.
There's not a whole lot.
These guys, they really buff up their estimates.
Everyone knows, well, the government will pay more than the free market, the open market.
Right? If I'm going to build a house, if I'm going to build a VA home, and I want to do it with partnership, with government money, Or I'm going to find a private investor to build a VA home because I want to own it.
I want to make sure that veterans are taken care of the best way for them, whatever they say it is, whatever the case may be, right, just for conversation's sake.
If I build that VA home for $2 million, I could have probably proposed it, sent an estimate or a proposal or a plan.
to some government contracting officer for three and a half million dollars and it would have gotten more than likely approved we I
Isn't this the whole point of why President Trump put Doge in place for things like this?
I think it's a little alarming when we see...
That type of increase.
Not that veterans don't deserve the money to be spent on programs and benefits and services for them, but do the veterans really get what was promised when these places were looking for the money to provide these services?
Is it really that expensive?
Or are we just padding the pockets of nonprofit boards and business owners because they're buddies of the governor or they're buddies of this person?
Or are they part of the commander's task force?
You see, to me, it's possible that once again...
Our government is bending over backwards to make money on the backs of the men and women who sacrificed everything for this country.
And now they're going to stay sick.
They're going to stay homeless or in less than desirable housing.
They're going to stay hungry.
They're going to stay carless.
They're going to stay jobless?
Because what was promised to them when the money's up for grabs is not what happens.
And I think that we'll see.
I think that we'll see.
I think that on the second week of April in 2026, we should do another show about the proposed budget and Veterans Day on the Hill and see how much of this $50 million...
The excess of $50 million?
Where did that go?
What did we get for it?
What did the veterans in this country get?
We got more cemeteries and more VA homes.
Cool. Alright.
If we need them, great.
But like he's going to go on to say, a lot of this stuff comes from the federal government.
I mean, well...
Why don't I not tell you why don't we just see here?
You have three budgets out there.
And when House members stand here, they do not fund it to the need that's there.
We're going to have a debate.
But I've made it clear.
I will compromise with you on the budget.
I will not compromise in the space of the veterans issues.
We are going to fund them to where they need to be.
Okay. Where do they need to be, though?
What's the truth?
And those of us who stand here, much of the veterans' budget is funded by the federal government.
Much of the benefits we get are federal employees, veterans themselves.
83,000 of them are going to be laid off and fired.
Yeah, you voted for it.
Well, some of you voted for it.
There we go.
So we need to come up here and say that's not what I voted for.
That's the same thing here.
I don't give a damn what your politics are across the board, but how the hell we got into an issue where we weren't unified about taking care of our veterans, and for six years...
Yeah, well, okay.
Here's the thing.
Tim Walls...
We are unified when it comes to taking care of veterans.
People like you, you fucking scumbag, are not unified when it comes to taking care of veterans.
You are more concerned about traveling around the country and talking all kinds of shit about whoever else it is that you despise or whatever else is going to get you farther ahead.
And then you're cool with raising taxpayers' liability.
To fund more things that don't cost that much.
So don't tell me you're not going to compromise.
And I'm not going to compromise on veterans' issues.
Of course you're not.
Of course you're not, because your buddies and the people that are feeding you fucking God knows what, because then they're going to lose out on a dollar.
You see, I think it's becoming so much more clear that all these things that are going on in our government aren't necessarily really ever about the people.
It's never really ever about what's best for the American people.
And maybe I'm just jaded.
Maybe I'm jaded and cynical now at this point.
But I don't trust it.
How do you trust a man like Tim Walls just because he gets up on some podium and he screams into a microphone and he bangs his finger and he stops signing people?
That doesn't mean shit.
The things that you say you do are not done.
That's not what happens.
Oh man.
It's crazy.
In a row as governor, we've passed nearly unanimous budgets of historic proportion to care for our veterans.
That's because you walked in this building, you checked the partisanship at the door,
Checked it at the door and talk about veterans and go back into the back rooms and cut the money from them You don't get a stand here and say you support the veterans and underfund what they need You don't get to sit here and pretend
like
Pretend? There
we go.
Yep. The CTF, baby.
Yep.
Bullshit. Nope.
This rich.
That's rich coming from this guy.
Oh, where is it?
This way.
Old tampon Tim.
You want to fight about who's using the bathroom?
Quit putting tampons in the boys' bathroom, you dumbass.
Nobody would fight about it then.
But if you want to fight for veterans, come in here, get behind the right budget, and pass it.
That's what we need to do.
You earned it.
They earned it.
We have a responsibility to deliver it.
We've done it six years in a row.
I don't know why we wouldn't do it this year.
So you need to demand, before we balance this budget, pass the Veterans Omnibus, get it done, then you can go home unless you want to come back and fight on the other issues.
Okay. Yep.
Give her a pat.
Man. So, again, get up here and pass the right budget.
There's three budgets proposed.
You need to pass the right one.
Well, what's the right one, Tim?
Is the right one the one that...
Puts money in all your little buddies' pockets?
Is the right one the one that doesn't really improve the lives of a whole lot of veterans?
Some, yes.
And for those of them that get serviced, awesome.
But I maintain the people that really need the help, they're not getting it.
They're not getting it to the tune that we see.
That we're told about.
Tim Walz plans on running for governor again.
So he says, well, I'm not running for president.
I'm going to run for governor if they want me.
Well, Tim, most people don't want you.
Most people don't.
Unfortunately, we have a lot of high density of people in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area and up in Duluth, Minnesota.
Even maybe St. Cloud in Rochester where the Mayo Clinic is.
There's a lot of people down there.
But what people also don't realize is that Minnesota has one of the highest populations of Somali folks.
There's a lot of Mungs here, a lot of Mung people.
Which, they're great.
They seem to work hard.
They're business owners.
They work hard.
I don't think anybody would be surprised to learn that there's many, many undocumented immigrants that are voting in our elections, especially in a sanctuary state like Tampa and Tim Walz's Minnesota.
Anyway, folks, we got to take a break because we're really short on time.
We'll be right back.
back.
Hey folks, real quick before we get back to the show.

Okay. Welcome back, folks.
Welcome back to the last end of the segment of the show.
So I was cleaning up my screen once we were on break, and I came across this.
I had found another article about Tim Walz's accomplishments.
His accomplishments in his political career.
Now, mind you, this came out August of 2024.
And so I'll just read through.
I won't read the descriptions.
We're running short on time.
We've got about nine minutes left.
His accomplishments as governor of Minnesota from 2019 to present.
COVID-19 response.
He did great there, huh?
When he shackled up our kids in the house.
When he masked our children and all of us.
When he signed off on that.
We could go out to restaurants, but we had to have our mask on when we're walking around.
But when you sit down, you can take it off.
COVID's up here.
It's not down here.
If your nose is above four feet in the air, five feet in the air, make sure you have a mask on because COVID rises.
Economic relief.
This is a big one.
Police reform and public safety.
In the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020, first of all, George Floyd wasn't murdered.
George Floyd killed himself by overdosing on fentanyl that day.
If the police had left, And left him alone and said, yeah, you're right.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Left him alone.
He would have died anyway, according to the real autopsy that never got put out to the public for some strange reason, if there's nothing to hide.
Climate and clean energy goals, economic equity and job growth.
And then as a congressman from 2007 to 2019, one notable thing he did for veterans, Veterans Affairs and National Guard advocacy.
He co-authored legislation to improve health care and benefits for veterans and secured funding for the National Guard.
Next, agricultural and rural development and bipartisanship and collaboration.
That's a key accomplishment.
Number three, other notable initiatives as governor.
Budget surplus and investments.
Gun control and public safety.
Well, the budget surplus, that went away real quick, right?
Because we're in a super big deficit now here in the state of Minnesota.
So that's a good accomplishment.
You had a surplus and you pissed it all away.
Gun control and public safety, again.
There's a reason why Minneapolis is dubbed Murderapolis.
They didn't do nothing for gun control.
There's more people roaming the streets with guns than ever before.
No question.
Now, more or less now, you have to be looking around for who probably doesn't have a gun, not who does have one.
Legal or illegal.
Even law-abiding gun carriers are out in plethoras because they never know when they're going to get carjacked, they're going to get...
I don't know.
I mean, some of these other things that are accomplishments, maybe he did.
But from the sounds of everybody else I know that kind of keeps up on other things other than veterans issues, it doesn't seem like anybody's really all that happy with Tim Walz and the job he's been doing.
And nowhere on any of his lists of accomplishments does it say anything about veterans other than he secured some funding and co-authored some legislation for benefits bills.
But on his personal page, on Democrats Abroad and these other Democratic websites, Tim Walz, he's done amazing things.
But yet all over this country, he's a laughingstock.
All over the world.
All over the world they're laughing at him.
I saw a reaction to the heckling from some news broadcast somewhere in Europe.
And also the UK.
Because I recognize the accent.
They're laughing at this stooge all over the world.
He's a liar.
He's a coward.
It's just fucking dope.
You lied about your service.
You gave up on your soldiers.
You turned your back, tucked tail, and run when it was time to actually do the job.
You assaulted our kids with face masks.
You took them away from their friends.
They didn't learn a goddamn thing that whole year, maybe even two.
They didn't learn nothing.
I mean, the list goes on, man.
I have a hard time understanding how anybody can make a case for this guy and say anything positive.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't think that Minnesota is better off.
I think that we would feel it.
I think that we would know it.
I think we would see it.
But I'll tell you what.
As a small business owner, my wife is also a small business owner.
Tim Walls hasn't done any favors for small business owners.
Taxes are high.
Everything is crazy.
But Tim Walls likes to pass the buck.
He likes to pass the buck to Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Republicans, and then he will stand.
He will stand in the rotunda of the Capitol building in front of however many people.
They didn't show the crowd.
Maybe 100, 150, maybe more if there were people upstairs.
Stood in front of them and told them, How much he cares about them.
And it's all a lie.
He doesn't have anything on him.
He hasn't listed anything that he's done for veterans as a great accomplishment.
I don't see it, man.
I don't see how a guy who's been dubbed the worst in the history of this country, the worst candidate for vice president ever, is somebody who makes a strong governor.
And it's not just Republicans, folks.
It's both sides of the aisle.
I don't know what I was going to say.
This guy had the balls then to stand at that podium, call out Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the federal government and how much of this is not his fault, but it's their fault.
And then he has the balls to look at all these veterans in the room that he swears that he is vowing to take care of.
And not compromise.
And then he stands there and talks trash and then says, you voted for it.
You voted for it.
Now I gotta fix it.
I don't know.
I think maybe you should just fix your face and get the fuck out of Dodge.
I think everyone would be a lot better off.
But what do I know?
I don't know anything about what it really takes to be a politician.
I don't know anything about what it really takes to run a country or a state or a county or a city.
Shit, I barely even know what it takes to run my own household.
But I can tell you one thing.
Veterans aren't stupid enough to watch shit like this.
And then sit back in our chair and go, oh, thank God.
Thank God we got Tim Walz at the helm.
Because that just ain't going to cut it.
We're not that stupid.
Sorry, Tim.
But no one's buying it.
And so I hope at some point, somebody on his side of the aisle, somebody in the Democratic Party, either locally or nationally, says, look, man.
You gave it a good shot.
Now just beat it.
Leave the people of Minnesota alone.
You're not running for vice president or president, none of that bullshit.
Just thanks for your service.
Go have a cold beer in South Dakota in your compound that you're allegedly building.
Enjoy that.
And you know what?
I don't know that in a short amount of time, I don't know that anybody's going to miss him.
It'll be an afterthought.
Happy trails, Tim Walls.
I hope you're leaving soon.
As Christians in a Christian country, we have a right to be at minimum agnostic about the leadership being all Jewishly occupied.
We literally should be at war with fucking Israel a hundred times over and instead we're just sending them money and it's fucking craziness.
Look at the state of Israel, look at the state of Tel Aviv, and look at the state of Philadelphia.
You tell me where this money's going, you tell me who's benefiting from this.
I am prepared to die in the battle.
Fighting this monstrosity that would wish to enslave me and my family and steal away any rights to my property and to take away my God?
Go fuck yourself!
Will I submit to that?
And if you've got a foreign state, you've got dual citizens in your government, who do you think they're supporting?
God, right now, would you protect the nation of Israel and protect those of us, not just our church, but every church in the world and in this nation that's willing to put their neck on the line and say, we stand with them!
You could look at Trump's cabinet.
You could look at Biden's cabinet.
Jews.
I have a black friend in school.
I have nothing against blacks.
She has nothing against me.
She understands where I'm coming from.
Excuse me, I'm a Jew and I just like to say that, you know, in our Bible it says that you're like animals.
