Stephen J. DubnerHOST
I went back to Tariq Mansoor with some questions about this.
Stephen J. DubnerHOST
[upbeat music] So I saw that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the first outright state ban on prediction markets, not just sports contracts, but the, the whole category with felony liability and so on.
Stephen J. DubnerHOST
And then within a day, um, the CFTC sued Minnesota to block it.
Stephen J. DubnerHOST
So we've now got a federal government that goes to court to defend essentially your business against the state.
Jesse KellyHOST
That's a Democrat member of Congress calling for the largest genocide in human history.
Jesse KellyHOST
Now, do you think they would aid Iran or any other enemy in our, in our efforts? How many Democrats, how many have taken long trips to China? Remember those stories that started to surface during the election about Tim Walz? I forget the exact number.
Jesse KellyHOST
I think it was 26 trips to China.
Jesse KellyHOST
26 of them.
Gerry CallahanHOST
Who's the celebrity picker?
IronheadHOST
Ooh, Tim Walz probably-
Gerry CallahanHOST
[laughs]
IronheadHOST
... 'cause ESPN's gonna counteract Trump maybe.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
So the Trump administration got rid of the rule that said you couldn't have a copper sulfide mine in order to open it for, I believe it's Chilean major mining corporation that already was in trouble with its handling of pollution issues at home.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
um but uh immediately after they did that the governor of minnesota tim walls signed a state executive order saying that the state could not issue any permits for that uh for that kind of mining and so right now it's stymied right there and as you know it's probably one of the reasons that um Trump is on such a vendetta against Tim Walz, although there's plenty of other reasons as well.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
Okay, so you asked about that.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
I'm also gonna follow up another question that you asked about Susan Collins, because I talked about, last Tuesday, I think, I talked about a ProPublica report about how a defense contractor that actually was not producing anything of real interest to the military, it was a naval contractor, illegally donated at least $150,000 to her last Senate campaign when it looked as if she was going to lose That contractor then got major contracts from the U.S. Navy, and she is the chair of appropriations.
Kevin JacksonHOST
Irredeemable Democrats.
Kevin JacksonHOST
Before I get into Minnesota, I want to remind you what Democrats said of Tim Walz, one of the worst representatives of a man you could have.

Populist approach to fear on the Republican side and the happy populism and the happy populism that Tim Walz is on the ticket on the Democratic side.

Tony KennettHOST
The reporters that have come over from China alongside Chairman Xi have also been roughing up the American press and the Secret Service all day as well, which is, you know, also a really good time.
Tony KennettHOST
I also agree with one of the comments from Love the 80s, who says, I'm surprised that Tim Walls, Tiny Tim, wasn't there.
Tony KennettHOST
That's a good point.
Tony KennettHOST
I don't know why the governor of Minnesota wasn't out there.
RudyHOST
We're going to reach back a little bit into history.
RudyHOST
Talk about Tim Walz and his relationship with China some.
RudyHOST
And that's going to bring us to our next top story.
RudyHOST
And you'd think it was, oh, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump are friends and Xi Jinping is some sort of communist and look out.
18 MINS LATER
RudyHOST
Really? I'm glad to announce an invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China for exchanges and study in the coming five years, the Chinese president said in remarks at the White House.
RudyHOST
Okay.
RudyHOST
Does anybody remember Tim Walz?
RudyHOST
From the popular research institute Tim Walz defended communism in China to his students, everyone is the same and everyone shares.
Brad BennettHOST
And these people were distributing food and medication out of those facilities.
Brad BennettHOST
Good job governing the state of Minnesota there, Governor Walz.
Brad BennettHOST
You got good people running all your departments, I'm sure.
Brad BennettHOST
Anyway, we'll be right back after Minnesota news.
Mark KayeHOST
It was a front company.
Mark KayeHOST
for a fraudulent organization that was just getting money from the government not just the Minnesota government but the federal government as well not just the people of Minnesota but the people from all over the country were feed they were just taking money there were no kids there there was no leering going on it was just it was just a money laundering operation and the money went into Mercedes-Benzes and watches and all kinds of other stuff and Nick Shirley a 22 year old with a camera was the one who figured all of that out um What happened was Tim Walz, at that point, could no longer run for office.
Mark KayeHOST
He'd already declared he was going to seek a third term, a historic third term, because remember, he was Kamala Harris's running mate.
Mark KayeHOST
He was this close.
Mark KayeHOST
That if, God forbid, ever something happened to Kamala Harris, should she have won, that he'd be the right guy at the right moment to step into those shoes and run the country.
Mark KayeHOST
Somebody actually thought that.
Mark KayeHOST
Anyway, so Tim Walz, he was all rip-roaring ready to go.
Mark KayeHOST
He goes, I'm popular.
Mike FrateloniHOST
Let me explain why.
Mike FrateloniHOST
Are you taking a page out of Tim Walz and Keith Ellison? Trump is not a very handsome man, right? Okay.
Mike FrateloniHOST
Me or her, not a very handsome woman.
Mike FrateloniHOST
But Trump has Melania.
