David Waldman and Greg Dworkin sift through the latest fallout. Is today the day Donald K. Trump became president? Nope. That pivot you are seeing is a tailspin. A death spiral that Trump can't insult, distract, nor kill himself out of.  Killing people isn't good politics, because murder wakes up the vast sleepy middle. Trump's immigration approval drops to record low… wow, ya think? Trump tires of alienating the off-white and moves on to gun nuts. All the cool kids want to abolish ICE now. Being on the right side of history is good politics, eventually.  Two special Minnesota House races were won by Democratic contenders, in a big way... hallelujah! Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger runs out of bubblegum on Day One. Back over on the wrong side of history, Kristi Noem was just following orders… Stephen Miller's orders. Stephen vows to not go to the gallows alone. Meanwhile, ICE uses long-range sonic weapons, point blank, at protesters. ICE'S striving to be international pains in asses. Chained PAX are not safe 02/EVAC. Ilhan Omar was attacked by a far-right extremist "piece of sh*t" racist… no, not Trump, but definitely a kindred spirit. Days earlier, Representative Maxwell Frost was physically assaulted by a bigoted lunatic, again not Trump, although Trump's voice does speak in a lot of crazy heads.  The Pentagon is temporarily removing the bomb vending machine from their food court. Usha Vance has been successfully impregnated, purportedly by blasphemous idolator JD Vance. Avid moviegoers are rushing to avoid the smash non-hit Melania, the must-miss movie of the season!

Minneapolis police say they took a man in custody Tuesday night after he sprayed an unknown substance at U.S. Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall event. He is being held pending possible assault charges. The man approached Omar and sprayed something toward her with a syringe.Two special elections have brought the Minnesota House back to a 67-67 party tie. Voters in St. Paul and parts of Maplewood and Woodbury elected two DFLers to represent them in the state Legislature.A federal judge has issued a temporary order barring removal of a 5-year-old boy and his father. The father and son are now at family detention facility in Dilley, Texas, near San Antonio. They were taken into custody last week outside their home in Minnesota.

Reporter, Cian McCormack speaks to Republican representative in the Minnesota House of Representatives, Mike Wiener about the shooting of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti at the weekend.

An already tense and uncertain time for people in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota was destabilized further over the weekend with the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent in Minneapolis.There were vigils across the region and beyond in the wake of the shooting. Hearings are scheduled for Monday on at least two federal court cases related to the shooting or the ongoing federal operation.In other stories we are following, The Minnesota House will gain two new members this week, as special elections are held for seats in the eastern metro area tomorrow. Voters in St. Paul and parts of Woodbury and Maplewood will vote for two new legislators during special elections.

Send us a textIn publicly telling his story for the first time, former GOP candidate Paul Wikstrom spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about how his challenge to election fraud ultimately helped shine a light on all the other kinds of fraud in Minnesota.Wikstrom explained how he was running against DFL opponent Curtis Johnson to represent District 40B in the Minnesota House. But something wasn't right. Johnson didn't actually live in the district, as required by state law. After investigating, Wikstrom challenged the election and Johnson was disqualified, which led to a special election. Wikstrom didn't win. But his investigation and challenge helped put a stop to the DFL and "their runaway spending,” he said. Wikstrom also explained how the focus on fraud at the legislature “all started with a challenge to election fraud.”Support the show

On June 14, 2025, Melissa and her husband Mark were assassinated when they opened their front door to a man impersonating a police officer. The man had come from Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman's home where he had shot Senator Hoffman and his wife multiple times; their daughter called 911 and saved her parents. The assassin had a list of lawmakers to assassinate, and our guest was on that list. We discuss his experience and his thoughts about the future.

Send us a textA blown server didn't stop this conversation, and neither will cynicism. We bring back Chris Stewart, former MPD officer and SWAT team member, founder of Heroes Health and Heroes, and now a declared candidate for the Minnesota House in District 54B. What follows is an unfiltered plan to restore trust, safety, and fiscal sanity across Minnesota—rooted in front-line experience rather than talking points.We start with the nonprofit work: peer-to-peer outdoor programs that help first responders process trauma and prevent suicide. That service mindset shapes how Chris talks about policymaking. He lays out why he's running: to bring clear standards to use-of-force debates, to push for real oversight on fraud and spending, and to rebuild the conditions that make downtowns livable and businesses confident again. Crime, taxes, and trust are tied together, he argues; when accountability collapses, costs rise and families pay twice.Chris doesn't shy away from hard lines. He explains how force should be judged by what a reasonable officer would do in the moment, not by political pressure. He calls for tighter welfare and EBT guardrails that protect the vulnerable while cutting exploitation. He favors merit in safety‑critical roles so the most qualified people serve where stakes are highest. And he makes a case for practical bridge‑building: talk to everyone, share experience and data, persuade without demeaning, and let voters decide with clear information.Along the way we hear about his blindness and how it sharpened his focus on competence over appearances. The message is consistent: dignity for people, demands on systems, and a government that remembers who it serves. If you want a grounded take on Minnesota's challenges—and a concrete blueprint to tackle crime, costs, and credibility—this conversation delivers.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take on some headlines, hopefully before they self-destruct. Did you ever feel like you are in a fog of uncertainty because of constant media speculation? But sitting still and waiting for the headlines to come to us is just futile, and so we continue to dig and be amazed. Today we take on a land grab built into the Big Beautiful Bill. Western land is up for grabs - and more than likely designated already to big money green projects. America being what it is and has been, apart from the citified areas, we tend to think that the wide open parts should be left to the ranchers, coyote, hikers and cowpokes, but soon, depending on the outcome of this legislation, serious acreage could be handed over to renewable energy companies and foreign conglomerates. Also, we look at the Minnesota murders of State Representative Melissa Hortman, a Democrat and her husband, and injuring State Senator John A. Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife. Melissa Hortman was the highest-ranking Democrat in the Minnesota House. Why is this so bizarre, and will we ever be able to connect all the dots? We predict it will be looked at no further. We also explore whether or not other nations can turn around and supply Persia with nukes; EU censorship; and military contracts to use AI to fight our battles - turning suit types into occasional soldiers. Yeah, you can't make this stuff up.  Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Gov. Tim Walz did not mince words Wednesday night in his State of the State speech when it came to President Donald Trump, but he struck a much more bipartisan tone when it came to Minnesota Republicans. During his speech to the Legislature, Walz, a Democrat and former candidate for vice president, talked about the two parties working together, giving a nod to the equally divided Minnesota House.The Minnesota Senate has passed a bill that grants veteran benefits to Hmong and Lao soldiers who fought with the U.S. military in Laos during the Vietnam War.A recent arrest for vandalism of Teslas in Hennepin County has become a political issue. Last week, Minneapolis police arrested a man seen on tape keying six Tesla vehicles around the city. A jury has convicted three Minneapolis street gang members of federal racketeering and murder charges.

The Minnesota Senate has passed a bill providing some benefits to Hmong and Lao veterans who helped the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. In the 1960s and early ‘70s, the CIA recruited tens of thousands of Hmong people in an operation known as the Secret War. Many of those recruits lost their lives. Others fled their home country when the war ended 50 years ago, eventually moving to states like Minnesota.  The bill still needs to be passed by the Minnesota House to become law. DFL Sen.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into the Senate Democrats' focus on theatrics over persuasion during the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings, the Minnesota House of Representatives' political standoff, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass still sounding tone deaf over her performance during the wildfire crisis.First, they analyze Pete Hegseth's opening statement during his bid to become Secretary of Defense. Then they focus on the embarrassing spectacle put on by Senate Democrats. Rather than focusing on persuasive arguments, many Senate Democrats appeared more interested in creating viral moments and making it far more likely that Hegseth will be confirmed.Next, they discuss the political turmoil in Minnesota, where Republicans hold a slim one-seat majority in the state House of Representatives.

Jim minces few words about the mayor's job performance and her very unimpressive public appearances.Please visit our great sponsors:Oraclehttps://Oracle.com/MARTINICut your current Cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.  See if your company qualifies today.
