And tonight, we are adding yet another scandal to our waltz of shame, so to speak. And as I said at the start of the show, we have some news to break tonight on Governor Tim Waltz, Kamala Harris's VP choice. Under Tim Waltz and his administration, some Minnesota elementary schools were pushed to assign material from a book called "Something Happened in Our Town." Sounds innocent, huh? The book says that police are violent and racist. Listen for yourself. Emma asked her mother, "Why did the police shoot that man?" "It was a mistake," said her mother. "I feel sorry for the man and his family." "Yes, the police thought he had a gun," said her father. "It wasn't a mistake," said her sister Liz. "The cops shot him because he was Black." But it doesn't stop there. The book goes on to suggest that this police racism is all part of a pattern. Huh? Some white people still think most Black men and boys are dangerous, even though they're not. "Was the man that got shot dangerous?" asked Emma. "No," her mother said. "Shooting him was a mistake. It was a mistake that is part of a pattern." "Like a pattern on my blanket?" Emma asked. "Yes, but this pattern is being nice to white people and mean to Black people. It's an unfair pattern." Now, guys, this was all laid out in a 2020 letter from the Minnesota Police and Officers Association to Walsh, which read, "The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association has recently learned several departments in your administration are counseling teachers and parents to use materials which instill fear of police officers in young children. It was reported to us that this book video was used as a book report assignment yesterday in a fourth grade class in Echo Park Elementary in Burnsville, Minnesota." The letter went on to say, "Our members deserve better from this state than to see their profession demonized. Their families deserve better from this state than to see their loved ones who risked their lives disparaged and unfairly cast as violent and racist." And we hope you agree. Did Kamala Harris even vet Tim Walts? This guy isn't the folksy Midwesterner that they're telling us he is. This guy seems like a radical Marxist buffoon. Or maybe they did vet him. Maybe they vetted him and they liked what they found.
