    Rupert Murdoch owns the New York Post. I find myself teetering over whether to block you, but you’re a hoops guy. There should be a way to block someone on a particular board rather than all boards.

    Poor OP, never gets it right. As soon as I read his post, I knew this recording was coming. Good job posting it so quickly.

    Ah yes, Milwaukee, Minnesota - I remember it well. It’s hard for you all on the right to push these lies about Walz as a narrative when you fail basic geography and expect anyone to take you seriously. Then again, it is Fox News so most of their viewers can’t read or write, anyways.

    George Floyd died on May 25 and the unrest started the next day. It was three days into the violence before the National Guard was brought in but as we clearly saw, a lot of damage can be done in that time.

    Bottom line is the Minneapolis Mayor and Walz completely botched up the situation and let Minneapolis burn for 48 hours before bringing in the National Guard. The result was the second-most destructive period of local unrest in US history with over $500 million dollars in damages.

    The difference is that when laws are broken in red city/states, the perpetrators go to jail and have to pay for bonding to get out of jail... unlike the catch and release your Dems city/states "reward" the innocent public with.

    One more thing... where the hail did you get the idea that red city/states get less crimes rates from? Oh, yeah... the FBI? Yeah, we know those Dems controlled city/states do NOT even send their data to the FBI anymore. That makes them seem less violent, but we all know the truth.

    The convicted felon and rapist campaign wants to hit the other side on law and order. What a world we live in.

    I'm expecting to see a Couches for Vance coalition forming any day now.

    Glad we have our first Dukakis/Dukakis ticket in American history. Let the city burn. Raise money to bail out the perpetrators. Kamala’s America…..

    Concerned about crime but going to elect a convicted felon, who incidentally claims he must be able to commit crimes to be effective, to the highest office in the land (and give him immunity to boot). SMH.

    Let's not forget that one of the other media outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch agreed to pay almost $800 million to settle a defamation lawsuit and if Tim Walz is somehow responsible for the vandalism resulting from the George Floyd demonstrations (he is not by the way), Trump is certainly responsible for the vandalism as well as the assaults on police officers resulting from the Jnauary 6, 2021 attempted coup d'état and attack on the Capitol.

    It's questionable given the timeline and other things. For example, the Minneapolis mayor asking Walz to bring in the National Guard two days before Walz signed the order to do so. Walz was clearly hesitant about calling in the National Guard in the first few days, which led to $500 million in property damage to the city. If nothing else, Walz's initial hesitation to call in the National Guard looks like very poor management considering Walz had to end up calling in the entire Minnesota National Guard before it was all said and done. Add to this Walz's wife gloating about enjoying the destruction and carnage and it certainly looks as though Walz had to be persuaded very heavily to call up the National Guard. I'm certain the White House was in his ear from day one trying to get something done. Walz signing the order on May 29th doesn't prove much. He was clearly holding out and it resulted in $500 million in property damage.

    The Star Tribune wrote in August 2020 that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, told reporters in an interview that Walz hesitated to send in the National Guard. Frey said he called Walz on the evening of May 27, 2020, asking him to send in the National Guard and Walz said he would consider it. The newspaper obtained texts and emails to verify that narrative.

    In his comments to the Star Tribune, Frey said that he asked whether his verbal requests constituted a formal request, and said that the governor's staff confirmed that they did. But the Star Tribune wrote that the governor's office disputed Frey’s portrayal of what had unfolded.

    At 10:55 a.m. May 28, 2020, Frey’s office made a written request for the National Guard, the Star Tribune wrote.

    Gov. Tim Walz called in National Guard in 2020. Not Trump.

    I agree that his handling was a failure and his wife comes across as a radical nut job. But even if the White House was in his ear, it is the governor that would call in the National Guard. Of course, the governor's daughter shouldn't be providing information to protestors on where the NG would not be. The entire family seems to be radical leftists.
