00:03:17Our message took our message resonated with people. We know here in Minnesota that this state is going in the wrong direction at the speed of sound.
00:03:27And that breaks a lot of Minnesotans hearts, mine especially. But so many Minnesotans are sad about it.
00:03:33They're either leaving their businesses are leaving. But I hope this gives them hope that we can change things,
00:03:39Because this single party rule that we have had in this state for years, Katie, has brought us to this point of embarrassment, of fraud, of low school scores, test scores, reading scores of elevated crime.
00:03:53And the only way we're going to get out of that is by not continuing to reelect the same people who got us here.
00:04:01So we think that message was sent loud and clear and we're thrilled.
00:04:06The Democratic contest, meanwhile, coming down to moderate Congresswoman Angie Craig

00:05:15First, I want to say that this is a very emotional night because I'm usually standing here celebrating with Lindsey.
00:05:24So I know he's looking down right now, smiling, though.
00:05:28So that gives me peace, but it's difficult.
00:05:31Secondly, I want to say thank you. Thank you to God for carrying my family and me through some of the most challenging times we've ever had the past few weeks. It's been extremely difficult.
00:05:44I want to thank President Trump. His steadfast support and his complete and total endorsement
00:05:54means so much to me. He knows that I will stand with him and fight for his agenda just like
00:06:00Lindsey did. The Republican Senate nominee set to face Democratic Party pediatrician
00:06:06Annie Andrews in the November 3rd general election in a state expected to heavily favor
00:06:11the Republican candidate. And in Wisconsin, Democratic Socialist State Representative
00:06:16Francesca Hong entering Election Day with a commanding polling lead over the more moderate0.78
00:06:21Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Hong drawing renewed scrutiny over past calls to
00:06:26defund and ultimately abolish the police, along with a 2020 push to cancel Thanksgiving,
00:06:31which she described as a celebration of colonialism and an original, quote,
00:06:36super spreader event. As of 11 p.m. last night, Wisconsin's Democratic race for governor still

00:06:53new scrutiny after CNN uncovers years of deleted and hidden commentary, including some eye-opening
00:06:59takes on guns and football. And new reporting reveals the extraordinary length President
00:07:04Trump's team went to it in order to dodge a possible Iranian threat, including an unlikely
00:07:10getaway vehicle. Everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results can be so0.93
00:07:21dramatic. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. But what if you are looking to
00:07:27lose weight but are not interested in weekly injections and you don't know whether you can
00:07:32commit and it's expensive, all the things, especially when you hear about some of the
00:07:36side effects. That's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called Lean, and the result could

00:07:47blood sugar, burn fat by converting it into energy, and curb your appetite and cravings so that you
00:07:53are not as hungry. But listen, Lean is not for the casual dieter with only a few pounds to lose.

00:08:26facing new scrutiny over a digital past he apparently did not want following him into the
00:08:30general election. CNN's K-File reporting El Syed made at least 100 videos on his YouTube channel
00:08:37Private before narrowly winning last week's Democratic primary. Archived transcripts
00:08:42revealing years of commentary on everything from the Second Amendment and the southern border
00:08:46to Fourth of July fireworks and even football. El Syed defeating moderate Democratic Congresswoman
00:08:52Haley Stevens by roughly one percentage point last Tuesday, setting up a November showdown
00:08:57with Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers in a race poised to help determine control0.99
00:09:11K-File previously revealing El-Sayed deleted social media posts supporting the defund the
00:09:16police movement, saying in 2020, quote, we do need to defund the police.
00:09:21Elsad since insisting he never called for defunding law enforcement, arguing those previous comments were taken out of context.
00:09:28Apparently, policing was not the only constitutional issue on his mind.
00:09:32In a since-removed April 2023 YouTube video, Elsad floating the idea of replacing the Second Amendment's right to bear arms with a constitutional right to health care.
00:09:43El Saad, making a very similar argument in a separate episode of his America Dissected podcast,
00:09:49released that same month, which remains publicly available on Apple Podcasts.
00:09:53Imagine what America might be if we took access to health care as seriously as some people take access to guns.
00:09:58If I could tweak one thing about the Constitution, it would be two words in the Second Amendment,
00:10:03from the right to bear arms to the right to have health care.0.92
00:10:10His campaign responding to CNN saying, quote, El-Sahed respects the Second Amendment while
00:10:15supporting policies aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.
00:10:19Another now private video from September 2022 showing El-Sahed taking aim at Republican
00:10:24concern over the southern border, calling in an issue the party, quote, loves to flog
00:10:29while arguing it did not even rank among the five biggest issues affecting Americans lives.
00:10:34The campaign responding to CNN that El-Sahed, quote, has long argued for immigration reform
00:10:39keeps the southern border safe and secure and has criticized isis recent actions under the trump
00:10:44administration elsad also taking aim at some distinctly american traditions a july 2024 video
00:10:52asking americans whether they could quote please find another way to celebrate the 4th of july
00:10:57giving viewers four reasons quote why fireworks suck the since removed video featuring a section
00:11:03titled quote fireworks just aren't worth it hear us out with outside citing air pollution chemicals
00:11:09risk to children and pets and the possibility that fireworks could trigger ptsd among veterans and
00:11:15then there's football unlike many of the other clips uncovered by k-file this one is still
00:11:21publicly available else had in a february 2023 episode of his podcast questioning whether the
00:11:27the sport could ever be quote ethical or quote safe before connecting football's culture to that
00:11:33of the slave trade i'm out there um hitting somebody trying to hit them harder than than
00:11:38they hit me um recognizing that both of us are at risk of injury all because we got to tell
00:11:44ourselves that we're stronger faster more powerful and you know let alone and like in our own lives
00:11:50it has destructive consequences let alone what that tells us about where our country does right
00:11:53You think about all the wars that we fight abroad, all of the sordid history of oppressing other people in the name of this American idea, right?0.65
00:12:01Whether it was, quote, manifest destiny and destroying Native Americans or it was the transatlantic slave trade where, you know, folks who, quote, founded this country on the backs of Native folks that they destroyed then captured people, enslaved them and had them work their fields because they thought it was their right.0.79
00:12:23Right. And all of this, like a lot of these narratives you kind of see echoed in the ethos of football.
00:12:27His campaign pushing back on the significance of the resurfaced material, telling CNN,
00:12:32quote, Abdul is the former captain of his high school football team, loves Michigan football
00:12:37on Saturdays and celebrates the 4th of July with fireworks like the next Michigander.
00:12:43Cherry-picked comments from old podcasts don't reflect his beliefs today.
