why does the republican party of the state of minnesota have less than $60 in its bank account? i do not know. but "the daily beast" was the first to report it, and the details actually only get worse from there. next to having less than $60 to its name, the republican party of minnesota also reportedly has over $330,000 in debt, which it needs to pay off, which it'll not be able to pay off with leso than $60 cash in its bank accounts. it also turns out is not an isolated story. the same sort of thing or at least a variation on this sort of thing is happening in a whole bunch of i key states for republicans right now. in colorado, for example, "the colorado sun" was first to report that state's republican party was so broke it's stopped paying its employees and it's unable to pay rent on its office space. the deputy chief of the -- excuse me of the colorado house republican party told the "colorado sun," the colorado state republican party is very simply bank rupt. i don't know if there's a connection but i should tell you the colorado party is planning to vote next week to simp

the migration increases in minnesota started in 2014. i was in court with that at the border, interviewing people were leaving and they were leaving because of multiple reasons, including but many times situation before the crisis a was created by section. so i don't think it fact rates his name, the united states for everything i do see, i think as i said, that term policies included the profession of economic sanctions has contributed in large part due to over on science. but i don't think this is about just blaming someone as there is uh, mike to the city of reasons for going to spell as prices and the spelling crisis has 3 dimensions. it's the refugee crisis. it's documented here in crisis. and it's the crass on on defense that includes the precincts that i want to bring francisco . and what i did ask you was what has been achieved. and i also want to add that those sanctions, us sections begin beginning 2006 like people turned off on the board in 2014 passing the same time night in a sentence was but 2 years before as 2014 at all. y

for my own research writing about citizenship in minnesota territory and early states of minnesota where it was so contradictory where it became kind of partisan but where democrats were using to use them but for political purposes, so for instance when 1849 was created created a territorial legislator and one of the things it did is n enfranchised native people of specifically mixed white and native ancestry. there were those that served in the minnesota state legislature. there were so many of them and the white legislators they were all democrat they were called the moccasin democrats because their connection. this fascinating debates on the evee of statehood of hutu and franchise. but anyway, it's very obvious that they were only interested in financing because they knew that they were on their side and if they were not going to vote for them they were not going to have interest. you can see how something that works really good was intended for political purposes and another 1862 connection from every session between 49 and 62 had some may legislators. thes populist parents against n

i was living in rome, minnesota. there is a disabled vehicle. i was just trying to help them get home. and they were supposed to drop me off on the way back home and they kept going on. and once they passed the exit i was like, well you can just turn right here just take her right here or started screaming. i said tom part of the vehicle and let me out. one of them said that they had a gun in the car and they would kill me. i think i kind of went into a shock to the men left the vehicle in the garage while the other one helped me down and reach me in the truck after it was done. he um, turned his back to me for a 2nd and i pushed them and i ran out and there is a gas station that was um, just down the hill. i ran back to the bathroom and i just sat in there and i cried . but anything, every one of family is desperately searching for a fargo woman who is 8 months pregnant. she's been missing for more than 48 hours. now. family believe she may be in danger. many people from del cord, from dun see then several other cities came to help with this se

so the kids were moved to minnesota at that point even when the aunt she petitioned to adopt and she had appealed that decision and before that appeal was decided they were adopted in minnesota. >> the texas adoption resource xchange. it sounds like commodity. it doesn't sound like you are dealing with children. >> e. you know in the case of sibling groups they are more difficult to be adopted as its more than one kid celeb so loud people who want to adopt are looking for young kids who are babies and sibling group of three and in the case of the hart women they were taking on sibling groups kind of allowed, i feel their adoption was fast-tracked for them because texas officials knew so they had this willing party and when texas took the kids away they paid monthly stipend for the rest of the kids lives but they never checked up on what was happening because by the time the second set of kids were adopted there had been an allegation of abuse. >> and going to the other allegations how soon with the second set of children? >> the kids were in a public school in minnesota all six of th

for my own research, writing citizenship in minnesota territory in early states in minnesota where it was contradictory where particularly it became partisan but where democrats were using native people who acquired citizenship to use them for political purposes, what organic act of created that created a new territorial legislator, franchised those. and then there were a number of native men served in the territorial legislature in first couple years. so many of them, so many of the white legislatures who were married to native women were all democrats they were called the moccasin democrats because of their connection to native people. it sounded -- fascinating debates within the constitutional convention in 1857. you know about these issues ofof who to -- en franchise. theyey were interested in franchising the native folks because they knew they were on their side and vote for them, you can see how some that works really good in some cases for native folks was intended for political purposes and another 1862 connection, had some native members as part of legislature, u.s.-dakota wa

territory in the early states of minnesota, where it was so contradictory, it became partisan. using native people who acquired citizenship to use them before political usage so when the organic act was created, it created a new territorial legislature in one of the first things it did was enfranchised native people of native ancestry, or black or native ancestry, and there were a number, in alabama, served in territorial legislature in first years of the minnesota state legislature. so many of them, so many of the white legislatures married to native women, they -- there were so many they were called democracy democrats because of their connection to native people. and it kind of sounded fascinating, within the constitutional convention in 1857 on the eve of statehood, who to enfranchise but anyway, it is very obvious the democrats were interested in franchising ancestry, they knew they were on their side and would vote for them and if they were, they would have no interest in and franchising these folks, you see how some things that works really good for native folks was inte

territory in early state of minnesota where it was so contradictory is where particularly it became kind of partisan, but where democrats were using native people. who acquired citizenship to to use them for political purposes? so for instance when when the organic act creating 1849 was created it created a new territorial legislature and one of the first things it did. is it in franchised native people of specifically of mixed white and native ancestry. so it left out those who were black and native ancestry, but it enfranchise them and in fact, there were a number of native men both dakota ojibwe odawa and one odawa man and several mete man served in the territorial legislature in the first couple years of the minnesota state legislature. so many there were so many of them and so many of the white legislatures who were married to native women, they were all democrats and so they were called there were so many of them. they were called the moccasin democrats because of their you know their connection to to native people, right and and it kind of sound it's there's fascinating debat

so they moved from minnesota, oregon and then from oregon to washington. and in each place they were investigated and found really alarming stuff. so like the oregon investigation found that five of six of the kids were so small that weren't even on the growth charts for their ages, which was really alarming. and the doctor said. well, we don't know their biological, so they might just be small. but the issue with would be that they came from two different biological families. so the chances of five of the six kids not even being on the growth charts, it really, you know, those are and contrast that with what was happening with the birth families was not a situation of abuse but was, you know, these sort of more they were sort of neglect issues so poverty trauma, drug, mental illness, those were the things that the birth families were dealing and they were treated super punitively. and then the adoptive families, the warning signs were of like actual abuse and and those things were basically not ever found to be a reason to remove the kids. how much do you

so the kids were at a public school in minnesota, all six of them, and the teachers were calling home to report that the kids are really hungry, that they didn't seem like they're getting enough to eat. the women would say that the kids had food issues, it is actually pretty common for kids who have experienced like repeated placement disruptions. one of the moms told the teacher oh, she's just playing the food card, so just give her water when the child was say that she was really hungry. the teachers started realizing that when they called home it seemed like the kids were getting in trouble, and so they stopped calling at a certain point. but the teachers noticed bruises on one of the kids and that basically started the first cps investigation were one of the moms pled guilty to domestic abuse. >> what was the motivation of jennifer and sarah? because one ofca the things thas clear is that, especially jennifer, they were presenting his side of i don't know, is a verye progressive couple creatig this idea or motivational family, and they are actually using these childrenye as props.

so what i've done in minnesota's i've partnered with large employers and businesses.. i've partners with the faith community. they, very, often are trusted voices, or local governments. maybe it's not the secretary of state in a state. maybe it's someone at the county or city level, who people know as their friends or neighbors. but bit by bit, piece by piece, we've got to build that wall. and it's a wall against disinformation. now, i'm not naive, neither are your viewers. there's probably a quarter of americans who are immune to any of those appeals, always. they just fundamentally have a different view of our election system. they can't think it's rigged, or fixed, or stolen. about a quarter think the opposite. but the middle, about 40%, according to the most reliable polling that i've seen, they are gettable. it's not a light switch. it's not by narrowly. they might have a lot of faith and confidence in the elections in their area, but maybe they heard something from another state, or another study. it's up to us to let people know that, at least in minnesota, i'm

thousands of native people displaced from their homelands in minnesota. professor gwen westerman was a defendant8 of one of the 38 men at least one of the 38 men executed on december 26. i wish she was here to give what i know is going to be powerful talk about that. that was one of the better-known ones. there is a piece of historiography of that. the another one is a sand creek massacre in 1864 in colorado. most people have heard of that. there's some sort of literature on that as well. there are many, many, many moments of violence particularly in california under what's known as the california genocide which was going on for a decade or two before the civil war. it was a particularly bloodied time during the civil war. and so for example audits are lesser-known. there's the bear river massacre ande idaho were that u.s. army massacred 280 shoshone men, women, children. there is another massacre around the same. in california sellers it wasn't the military local settlers rose up and murdered probably 300 indians inia california. these are just to name a

host: next, in minnesota. on the independent line, go ahead. caller: i had an electric hybrid vehicle about 10 years back. in minnesota we have problems with temperature appeared. -- up here. and they talk about the energy factor, if it is 10 below zero to try to get those going. host: was there an incentive or a rebate in the state of minnesota for buying it when you got it? caller: not at all. host: host: thanks for calling. in terms of the electric vehicle tax credit, he said you did not know about whether the one person said about used cars. but help us to find -- what does the law say about which foreign cars can be taken advantage of, can be used? which once can one purchase and still get the credit? what is the stipulation? guest: my understanding is they need to be a trade partner with the u.s.. that is the extent of my understanding. i know over time in terms of domestic manufacturing overall, not just specific to electric vehicle tax credits, over time the restrictions will get tighter. it will only bring the requirements to mainly u.

and jennifer and sarah were a couple who both grew up in south dakota but were living in minnesota at the time and had already adopted three kids at that point so also from texas as well so they had done the process. and so the kids were moved to minnesota at that point even when the aunt had so she had petitioned to adopt it was denied and she had appealed that decision and before that appeal was decided, they were already legally adopted. >> that name the texas adoption resource exchange. it sounds like, it doesn't sound like you're dealing with children. >> in the case of sibling groups they are considered more difficult to get adopted because it's more than one kid so a lot of people who want to adopt from the foster care system looking for jobs, and so babies siblings are the three and i think in the case of the heart women that they were taking on sibling groups kind of allowed, i feel that their adoption was fast tracked because texas officials knew that the sibling groups so they had this willing party. and when texas took the kids away they paid monthly stipends for the rest
