• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Deal will never see it. Never.

• 3:34
  Speaker 2: good job waiting on them. Yes, indeed, that's too close
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to Martin Luther King Bulevard. Montgomery Wards is making a comeback.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So I love Montomery Ward. So normally, you know, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: wouldn't already hang around Don and you know he has
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: had this problem. But every time I talk to one
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of you guys, I wipe my and wipe my head
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: because I can't have.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You all my DNA.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I can't have that man, you know. But it's good
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to talk to you. So the last time we spoke,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you were about to be arraigned. So let's set the table.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: You were one of the nine people that the Trump
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: administration went after for going into that church in Minneapolis, right.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Yes, I am an independent journalist that space here in Minnesota, yep,
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: and I recovering it that day.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: But I also think it's worth noting that you're just
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: not someone who shows up with a microphone or shows
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: up with a camera. You are like, gimme award winning journalists.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: So multiple people have recognized you for your abilities and
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: for you know, the way that you cover stories.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: So this should have been no exception.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: I agree. We dependently produced the television show here to
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: offer alternative news programming to mainstream media's programming that they offer.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: And that show, Here's the Truth, is what it was called,
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: aired on the CW. It was nominated for twelve Regional
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Emmys and we won three. And so you know, I've
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: been doing this a long time. I started my media
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: career about seventeen years ago. And while you know, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: haven't worked for CNN or you know, anything like that,
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: people might not know my name as well as they
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: know the name of other journalists. It doesn't it doesn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: mitigate my body of work. It doesn't mitigate the fact
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: that I've also volunteered as the vice president for the
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: local chapter of NABJ National Association of Black Journalists. I
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: was a former board member of the Minnesota Society Professional Journalists.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: I've been doing this work a really long time, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: even beyond being committed to telling our stories and providing
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: alternative you know, news outlets, news programming. I've also invested
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: in the next generation of journalists. I run a summer
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: program where we pay young people to participate in our program,
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: teach them the basics journalism and equip them with their
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: own cameras, their own microphones, and their own audio recorders
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: so that they can go out and tell tell our
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: stories of our community.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Why do you think he's single out? I have a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: theory about why it was. Why he's going to after
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: independent Jersey primarily is because he has the whole of
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: legacy media under his sway, Like he can threaten to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: block mergers, he can threadn to block funding, he can
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: threaten to make live hard for people via the FCC
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and other you know, and other.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Kind of things at his disposal.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I think the only people he doesn't really have under
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: some are in under independent journalists, and I think that
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this is an him to I think intimidate them.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Do you think that that's?
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I think you hit the naw, you hit them on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the head.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: You know, we've we've seen, as you mentioned, the mergers,
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: the acquisition, how the SEC has intimidated different outlets and
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: so there is a pathway to regulate mainstream media. What
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: is the pathway that you can regulate independent journalism? And
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: I think by wielding the law, or attempting to wield
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: the law against us, it's definitely a strategy that quite frankly,
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: you asked my colleagues, ask other journalists you know, would
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: you continue your reporting if you are faced with federal charges.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: There's not a lot of people who have the fortitude
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: to continue persevering in their fields. So I absolutely think
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: it's an attempt to chill our speech. And I think
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: the general public, even if you don't work in news
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: or journalism, you have to be paying attention to what
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: is happening. Media is such a powerful tool, Malcolm X said.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: At best, he said that the media has the power
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: to make the truth a lie and allie the truth.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: And if we're not careful, if we don't protect the press,
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: we will find ourselves among a society of people who
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: are delusioned.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Will you come back and let us know how it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: ain's going.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: As much as that absolutely absolutely would love to keep
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: in touch and keep the world appressed with what's happening
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: here in Minnesota. There's still so much happening, even though
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: it feels like the world is no longer watching. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: so we thank you for what you all do. D
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: L and Jasmine. It's so critical that we have platforms
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: like yours to continue amplifying our voices on when you come.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Tell you come back, anytime you come, anytime you want
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: us to love to do something.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: And thank you so much for your courage too.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you. It is now time to give a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: deserve soone the shoe Woody of the Week award.
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: And now it's time for the shoe Moody with the Week.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Bard to Scott, America is not a racist country.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: He is an American businessman and politician serving as the
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: junior United States Senator from South Carolina. A member of
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: the Republican Party, he is the first African American senator
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: in the Southern United States, the longest serving African American senator.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: In US history.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: Clown, So why is Tim Mushmouse Scott this week's recipient
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: of the shoe Booty of the Week.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Award during moron?
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: Uncle Tim gets the shoe booty because he's the longest
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: serving African American to serve MAGA and Captain Colt.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: He's a sick person.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: He has shown over the past ten years he has
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: no mind of his own. Whatever Massa says, that's what
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: he's gonna do.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I'm ambm an adult.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: But he's taken conan to another level. He's like a
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: conologist and should be a professor in kolnology.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: No no, no.
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: Recently, Tolkien Scott did an interview on Fox. He was
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: asked about the midterms, and he replied, whatever a President
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: Trump lays his hand, we're gonna follow, stop it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: And get some help. President Trump is the key for
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: us winning.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: In that statement, Toby Scott basically admitted he is in
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: a cult and will do whatever Trump says.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: The sucker comes with detachable bucker's lefts and realistic head,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: not a action.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: It doesn't matter that the facts show forty one percent
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: of Trump endorses lost their race. In other words, he's
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: worse than Steven and Django unchained.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Look at my African American off the hip.
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: How does he look in the mirror and not have
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: some kind of gag reflux. He spent a lot of
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: time on the campaign trail praising the Burger King, hoping
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: to get a spot into the cabinet. Serious he was
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: outraged about the gorilla post of the Obamas. But he
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: came back to the mega plantation. Someone give him some
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: motion because his knees have to be sore and ashy.
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: Hey yeah, well he can praise and bring hot sauce
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: to kiss butt, but he's not in that party because
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: he's a servant at the party.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: It's a big club and you ain't in it. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: that's why the shoe Booty of the Week award goes too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Tom Scott. Now here's a swift kick in the ass.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Skip your shoe bear Booty suessing skills a second to none.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: And you don't even have to be skillful though they
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: just fallen.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: They have a dog can dig trefles a pig Smith's trefles. Yeah,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: he has that same kind of skill for shoe booties.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: You tripled with shoe booties already, so he can. He
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: can also source ramps. What you know, the little little
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: wild onion. Yeah, you didn't know what it was. Man,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I'll be trying to class these join up people.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Don't want to come for the handicap, That's what I'm
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: gonna say.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: MS.
• 12:29

  Speaker 2: lead professor, excel. Now it's time what you need to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: know with the one only Sibil Wilks.
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. The
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: war in the Middle East reached a terrifying new peak overnight.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: Aron's Islamic Revolutionary Guard claims it's launched its heaviest operation
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: yet against US and Israeli targets. For three hours, a
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: barrage of missiles rained down as the regime called for
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: the complete surrender of its enemies. To date, seven US
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: service members were killed since the start of Operation Epic Fury,
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: and the Pentagon reports that one hundred and forty others
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: have been wounded. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell noted that while
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: the numbers are increasing, the vast majority of injuries remain minor,
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: and with over one hundred soldiers already clear to return
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: to duty. As this conflict intensifies, so does the pain
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: of the pump For Americans. Triple A reports the national
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: average for a gallon of regular gas jumped over nine
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: to three dollars fifty seven cents. To put that in perspective,
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: one month ago, folks were paying two dollars and ninety
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: three cents. The spike is even more brutal, of course,
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: in California, where drivers are now facing a statewide average
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: of five dollars thirty three cents a gallon as global
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: energy markets react to the instability in Iran. In other
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: political news, the race to fill the seas vacated by
• 14:00
