4:59
SPEAKER_35: This is happening I mean, this is like just put the story on repeat of me waking up to various text messages because I go to sleep uh so early, right?
5:08
SPEAKER_35: So I wake up this morning and my son Logan had texted me.
5:12
SPEAKER_35: And uh it's this video, so the text simply read, I'll just I'll pull it up here.
5:17
SPEAKER_35: It just he just read basically Speed Racer.
5:20
SPEAKER_35: I'm like, what are you talking about?
5:21
SPEAKER_35: I'm like, okay, my okay, fine.
5:23
SPEAKER_35: So it's this video of a car, and it's a silver, you know, it's like a silver, you know, a new a new automobile.
5:31
SPEAKER_35: It looks kind of like a like a Corvette, sleeker, right?
5:36
SPEAKER_35: Basically, imagine your current Tesla and then turn it into a sports car.
5:41
SPEAKER_35: That's because that's what this is.
5:42
SPEAKER_35: So the car goes up this half, you know, uh this half pipe, essentially, of a road.
5:51
SPEAKER_35: It actually goes upside down and then and then it backs down, and then it goes back up, it launches upside down off of the ramp, it spins in midair, and then comes down for a landing all by itself.
6:06
SPEAKER_35: Elon Musk made a flying car.
6:09
SPEAKER_35: I thought it was AI.
6:10
SPEAKER_35: I had no idea what I was looking at.
6:13
SPEAKER_35: I again it was 2.30 in the morning.
6:15
SPEAKER_35: I'm like, what is my son?
6:16
SPEAKER_35: I'm like, oh, that's that's interesting, that's cool.
6:18
SPEAKER_35: I had no context, uh, context whatsoever.
6:20
SPEAKER_35: I didn't know that Elon Musk was gonna be unveiling the new roadster.
6:25
SPEAKER_35: I had no idea at all.
6:28
SPEAKER_35: And then it turns out that no, it's a brand new sports car capable of flying, of staying static upside down, solely on the suction power at the vehicle's base.
6:39
SPEAKER_35: The car is also capable of doing aerial flips, literally flying.
6:45
SPEAKER_35: It is it is quite honestly.
6:47
SPEAKER_35: I mean, next to the booster catch that took place with Elon Musk and SpaceX, which is incredible itself, in and of itself.
6:57
SPEAKER_35: My my son was so blessed to be able to go see it firsthand.
7:00
SPEAKER_35: Uh, this is one of the most incredible things I I've I've ever seen.
7:04
SPEAKER_35: I mean, the the absolute feat uh feat of engineering that Elon Musk has been able to pull off.
7:11
SPEAKER_35: It does other demonstrations too.
7:12
SPEAKER_35: There's a moment where the where the the new Tesla Road starts driving and there's a there's a row of cars, including like a semi-truck.
7:20
SPEAKER_35: It it is a vertical lift, it flies over them.
7:22
SPEAKER_35: I think it does a 360 flip.
7:24
SPEAKER_35: They call it a kick flip, and then it comes down and it and it lands again.
7:28
SPEAKER_35: I just But we've always heard about flying cars.
7:31
SPEAKER_35: But the flying cars that we've always seen are stupid.
7:34
SPEAKER_35: They're basically just like massive quadcopters.
7:37
SPEAKER_35: They've always drove me nuts when, like, we've created a flying car.
7:40
SPEAKER_35: That's not a flying car.
7:41
SPEAKER_35: You're not gonna be driving that down the road and then going and taking off.
7:44
SPEAKER_35: I mean, it has the big, huge blades on it and all this.
7:47
SPEAKER_35: This is actually a flying car.
7:50
SPEAKER_03: This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.
7:59
SPEAKER_35: Um yeah, that's uh Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and there are so many videos online right now of Elon Musk demonstrating his flying Tesla Roadster, which will be mass production begins in 2028.
8:16
SPEAKER_35: You'll be able to purchase this car.
8:18
SPEAKER_35: I have audio to share of Elon, and we have other items to get to on the show today.
8:21
SPEAKER_35: This is just this is the big news story today.
8:24
SPEAKER_35: Like if anybody is happy about this, it's it's Ilhan Omar because the attention's taken away from the fact that she's still MIA, although apparently she is supposed to be joining um that anti-American jerk, Hassan Piker, for a podcast with Omar Fate.
8:41
SPEAKER_35: I believe like on the 26th of this month, we'll talk about that with our Freedom Uh Friday crew.
8:46
SPEAKER_35: But this was one of the most stunning things I've ever seen.
8:48
SPEAKER_35: If you haven't watched this yet, uh make sure you head on over to X.
8:51
SPEAKER_35: It's all over uh X.
8:52
SPEAKER_35: It's on my feed there on the uh on the platform as well.
8:55
SPEAKER_35: I absolutely encourage you to go and uh and check it out.
8:59
SPEAKER_35: So we do have a lot of news to run down.
9:02
SPEAKER_35: Uh we had a horrific shooting that took place in Bend, Oregon uh yesterday.
9:06
SPEAKER_35: A story that's gonna be memory holed rather quickly because it involves, you know, a good guy with a with a gun.
9:14
SPEAKER_35: That's right.
9:16
SPEAKER_35: So that story is probably gonna go away uh fairly uh fairly soon.
9:20
SPEAKER_35: So we'll give you details on that uh uh coming up.
9:23
SPEAKER_35: The latest with the uh investigation into Ilhan uh Omar, and of course with our Freedom Friday crew, we've got uh Catherine Johnson who will be uh filling the role of uh outnumbered this morning.
9:36
SPEAKER_35: Because uh producer Isaac will be uh joining uh next to Catherine on one of the comfy chairs, and then we've got AK Kamara and uh Max Reimer all heading into studio uh coming up uh starting at 6.30 this morning.
9:48
SPEAKER_35: They'll all be arriving through between 6.30 and 7.30.
9:51
SPEAKER_35: And of course, your on and off topic comments all morning long on the blaster line, 651-964-0294.
10:00
SPEAKER_35: Leave us a voice or uh text message.
10:03
SPEAKER_35: Let me run through some of the text messages first.
10:04
SPEAKER_35: I already have some voice messages that have rolled through, but let's start off with some of the uh some of the texts that have came in.
10:10
SPEAKER_35: Uh the Waymo song is absolutely the best song the AI overlords have produced.
10:15
SPEAKER_35: My vote is always going to be for that uh song.
10:17
SPEAKER_35: Thank you for that.
10:18
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, we'll make these available at some point on my page in AmericanExperiment.org for download.
10:23
SPEAKER_35: We just haven't gotten that far uh yet.
10:25
SPEAKER_35: Um had this message that came in.
10:28
SPEAKER_35: Catching up with the podcast, I thought I'd share an interesting fact relating to your story last Freedom Friday that said Australia was the safest place to be in a worldwide catastrophe like a nuclear war.
10:40
SPEAKER_35: We talked about this at the end of uh last week's show.
10:43
SPEAKER_35: In junior high, we read the book on the beach.
10:46
SPEAKER_35: It was about a group of people in Australia knowing they would die in a few months when the nuclear radiation reached Australia.
10:52
SPEAKER_35: There was an American sub that found safety there for a while.
10:56
SPEAKER_35: If I remember correctly, the government even gave out cyanide pills so people could choose how and when to die.
11:04
SPEAKER_35: We even watched the movie in the 50s they made from the book.
11:08
SPEAKER_35: Just an interesting tidbit relating to your story.
11:10
SPEAKER_35: Great show so far.
11:12
SPEAKER_35: As they they they wrote that at 12.
11:14
SPEAKER_35: Okay, okay, listen, if you're gonna do the great show so far, at least do it within the frame of the show.
11:18
SPEAKER_35: I mean, that was that came in at 12:42 a.m.
11:22
SPEAKER_35: Like I get the joke, but uh somebody asks, is Ilhan Omar going to be uh going to be a scapegoat?
11:30
SPEAKER_35: Uh I firmly believe that when the indictment comes down, as I've been saying for the past couple of days, when the indictment comes down, uh depending on what the charges are, but they're probably going to be pretty bad, that uh I anticipate that Democrats are going to uh pitch off, which is why you only have a handful of people that are out there actually complaining about it.
11:48
SPEAKER_35: Rashida Talib being the most vocal, although Rashida Talib's biggest concern over Ilhan Omar and the raid taking place is apparently the time of day the raid occurred.
12:00
SPEAKER_08: 4 30 in the morning.
12:02
SPEAKER_08: 4 30 in the morning they came to her home.
12:06
SPEAKER_35: I have more audio to share.
12:07
SPEAKER_35: But that is honestly the only argument of substance that she has in her commentary towards media regarding her frustration that her good dear anti-American uh friend had her home raided.
12:21
SPEAKER_35: It was the time of day in which the raid took place at 4 30 in the morning.
12:25
SPEAKER_35: She's just she's very she's very she's very worried about.
12:27
SPEAKER_35: She's very worried about that.
12:29
SPEAKER_35: Uh, welcome to day five of Ilhan Watch, Ken and Brainerd.
12:32
SPEAKER_35: Thank you.
12:32
SPEAKER_35: Uh we are certainly keeping our eyes uphealed.
12:35
SPEAKER_35: Uh good morning, John.
12:36
SPEAKER_35: Happy Freedom Friday.
12:37
SPEAKER_35: Can't wait to see what you have in store uh for today.
12:40
SPEAKER_35: You know what?
12:40
SPEAKER_35: I can't uh I can't either.
12:42
SPEAKER_31: Happy Freedom Friday, John.
12:44
SPEAKER_31: Oh my gosh.
12:45
SPEAKER_31: After what you just described with that car, I'm thinking they gotta redo that uh that Duke's a hazard scene.
12:52
SPEAKER_31: I mean they have to.
12:56
SPEAKER_31: Good God.
12:58
SPEAKER_35: It's I I I had no idea they were doing this.
13:00
SPEAKER_35: Uh let's go ahead.
13:01
SPEAKER_35: I'll play, let's go ahead and play the audio.
13:03
SPEAKER_35: Uh I'm really curious to hear uh Max Reimer's take.
13:05
SPEAKER_35: We'll dive into some of the more serious news stories, but this is the big story of the day.
13:09
SPEAKER_35: I again no clue they were going to do this.
13:12
SPEAKER_35: Never anticipated that Elon Musk was gonna make a flying car, and apparently the technology that was on display yesterday during this reveal of the Tesla Roadster, and I haven't even gotten into the specifics of this yet.
13:24
SPEAKER_35: This car is like scary fast.
13:26
SPEAKER_35: Like scary fast.
13:28
SPEAKER_35: I'll give you this data point.
13:29
SPEAKER_35: It goes zero to 60 in one second.
13:33
SPEAKER_35: I mean, that has to kill you, right?
13:37
SPEAKER_35: I've never been more there's two times in my life that I can distinctly remember being the passenger in a car.
13:45
SPEAKER_35: I'm not talking about like a potential accident, being the passenger in a car and never having been more terrified than I was in those two moments.
13:56
SPEAKER_35: The first one was when I got into a race tuned Porsche, I think it was a 9-11, with ACDC lead singer Brian Johnson.
14:09
SPEAKER_35: He even got Devin's attention with that one.
14:11
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, that's right.
14:12
SPEAKER_35: So he raced cars.
14:14
SPEAKER_35: Okay, so ACDC was in town.
14:16
SPEAKER_35: They were at a road course, so I was working at Atlanta at the time for a rock station, 96 Rock, and we went out to, we did an interview with with Brian Johnson, and they invited us out to this road course, and I got to get in the car with Brian Johnson while he drove at speed this race tuned Porsche around uh road Atlanta.
14:37
SPEAKER_35: And it was it was I it was so terrifying.
14:41
SPEAKER_35: I will never ever forget the sound of the squealing tires.
14:45
SPEAKER_35: Like I thought the tires were going to peel right off of the rim of the race car.
14:51
SPEAKER_35: It was that wild.
14:53
SPEAKER_35: The only other time I was ever that scared was when this was last year, I think it was early last year, during when all the uh Elon protests were going on, and Melinda and I went down to uh one of the Tesla dealerships, and we got to do a test drive of the Cybertruck, and the guy that worked there went with us and brought us on a road between in this industrial area where the where the dealership was at, and he floored it, and I I I the takeoff torque speed of that just scared the daylights out of me.
15:29
SPEAKER_35: I mean, this car going zero to sixty in one second, I just did you ever watch you probably didn't.
15:34
SPEAKER_35: You ever watch the expanse?
15:35
SPEAKER_35: No, okay.
15:36
SPEAKER_35: Never seen it.
15:36
SPEAKER_35: Uh based on uh based on a series of books, really fantastic uh series, by the way.
15:41
SPEAKER_35: Uh falls off a little bit at the end, but really fantastic television, sci-fi television series.
15:45
SPEAKER_35: Uh it tries to be accurate in terms of space travel.
15:48
SPEAKER_35: And so they talk about the fact that if you're traveling at these massive you know speed of light, that you know you have as humans you have to have assistance or you'll die.
15:56
SPEAKER_35: So they have this chemical that pumps into you and all that.
15:58
SPEAKER_35: Like, I think you would need this for the roadster.
16:00
SPEAKER_35: Uh it's just it's that it's that terrifying.
16:03
SPEAKER_35: Uh here's what Elon Musk had to say uh last night during the debut of his new car.
16:08
SPEAKER_42: So the the the car has uh obviously attitude control thrusters and and main thrusters in the rear.
16:15
SPEAKER_42: So it can basically fly like a rocket.
16:18
SPEAKER_42: Um and uh it can do rolls, it could do like crazy gymnastics, uh whatever you want, really.
16:28
SPEAKER_42: Um I should you know say that this is not uh necessarily a safety optimized car, okay.
16:36
SPEAKER_42: Uh but it is uh it it takes the the fun meter to 11 out of 10.
16:43
SPEAKER_42: But speaking of fun meter, yeah.
16:45
SPEAKER_44: You want to try one?
16:46
SPEAKER_44: Let's try something else.
16:48
SPEAKER_44: Yeah.
16:49
SPEAKER_35: So I edited out I edited out the moment because it was just a lot of cheering and and talking.
16:55
SPEAKER_35: But this is the moment where they took the roadster and then it went, it popped up and then did a flip over a row of cars and then landed completely safely.
17:03
SPEAKER_35: When it takes off, if you're familiar with the movie Blade Runner, it looks like the flying cars in Blade Runner.
17:08
SPEAKER_35: I almost exactly like it.
17:09
SPEAKER_35: They just live straight off the ground with the jets coming out from underneath.
17:12
SPEAKER_42: Uh I mean that was just a little flight.
17:14
SPEAKER_42: Let's do a longer flight.
17:18
SPEAKER_41: All right.
17:20
SPEAKER_41: See what we got set up.
17:23
SPEAKER_40: I mean, I've seen a lot of things, but I've never seen that before.
17:28
SPEAKER_40: Tony Hawk would be proud.
17:29
SPEAKER_40: We call that the kickflip.
17:31
SPEAKER_40: Yeah.
17:33
SPEAKER_43: I think we could have cleared more than our whole fleet.
17:36
SPEAKER_42: Yeah, we can go we can go further.
17:39
SPEAKER_42: Uh like this will be an actual car that's on the roads.
17:45
SPEAKER_42: You know, I'm not sure it's necessarily legal in all jurisdictions, but uh like there will be such a car that a per that someone can own.
17:55
SPEAKER_42: So it's uh it's gonna be pretty pretty well that you can have a rocket car.
17:59
SPEAKER_54: Yeah, to do that.
18:00
SPEAKER_43: We had the rockets we borrowed from SpaceX technology.
18:03
SPEAKER_43: You talked about the carbon overlay pressure vessels.
18:05
SPEAKER_43: I just want to tell everyone, because I'm a spec guy.
18:08
SPEAKER_43: There's two of them in the car.
18:09
SPEAKER_43: They are a total of 600 liters, it's about 250 kilos of air, and uh we have ten nozzles to do all that work.
18:17
SPEAKER_42: And the it's it's using an advanced uh ultra-high pressure uh air tank.
18:24
SPEAKER_42: So the car can recharge its air tank.
18:27
SPEAKER_42: So it's not like you you know need special propellant or anything like that.
18:31
SPEAKER_42: It literally is just gonna puff itself up and uh and and and be able to do this these maneuvers.
18:38
SPEAKER_35: He's Tony Stark.
18:40
SPEAKER_35: He's a he's a modern uh he is he's the real world equivalent of Tony Stark.
18:46
SPEAKER_35: Now, if he were to fight crime, he could literally be Batman, because Batman was independently wealthy and had a lot of fancy stuff as stuff as well.
18:54
SPEAKER_03: But remember is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.
19:03
SPEAKER_35: Um Elon Musk making leftists look like idiots one amazing creation at a time at a time.
19:16
SPEAKER_25: Happy Freedom Friday, John and Crew, former neighbor Mike here, and as a raging enthusiast for a long time, one of the Tesla Roads' features is a function hand.
19:27
SPEAKER_25: First and only function hand used.
19:40
SPEAKER_25: The car was handled so much better than everyone else.
19:43
SPEAKER_25: And it costs debris at the other competitors.
19:46
SPEAKER_25: The car was banned permanently.
19:50
SPEAKER_25: Have a great day.

22:37
SPEAKER_35: It's the John Justice Show presented by American Experiment.
22:39
SPEAKER_35: I'm glad you're with us as well.
22:41
SPEAKER_61: Hello, this is Joe Scott, and I'm still the only conservative on the Eastern Carver County Schools board.
22:46
SPEAKER_61: I'd like to thank John's listeners for their generosity.
22:49
SPEAKER_61: Now, because this is Minnesota, you can vote for me in person as early as Friday, October 16th.
22:55
SPEAKER_61: Now, let's talk about the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment Test scores for Eastern Carver County Schools.
23:02
SPEAKER_61: Only 62.6% of our students are proficient in reading, only 62.5% are proficient in math, and only 29.9% are proficient in science.
23:15
SPEAKER_61: So how are we graduating 94.1% of our students?
23:19
SPEAKER_61: You know, this has nothing to do with the quality of our teachers and everything to do with a lack of a school board and administrative accountability.
23:27
SPEAKER_61: Our superintendent is not contractually responsible for student proficiency.
23:31
SPEAKER_61: Go to the blog section of my website, reelectjoeescott.com and eccsmcascores.com.
23:39
SPEAKER_61: This app was paid for by reelect Joe Scott.
23:41
SPEAKER_35: Yesterday on the show, when we were running down the news of the day, we shared a story about how uh some nine banks, including the one that I bank with for crying out loud, have been discriminating against individuals because of their political uh ideologies, affiliation, and uh on religious grounds.
24:03
SPEAKER_35: This comment uh rolled into the blaster line from overnight on a Freedom Friday.
24:06
SPEAKER_57: Hey John, this is Doug from Savage, and I wanted to give you a firsthand example of some of that uh banking discrimination that you were talking about earlier today.
24:16
SPEAKER_57: I have my personal accounts through US Bay.
24:19
SPEAKER_57: And when I started doing uh permit to carry classes, my training company, it was okay for them to uh give me accounts for that.
24:26
SPEAKER_57: But when it was time for me to do my my uh firearms dealer account for being an FFL, they said that they could not do that.
24:35
SPEAKER_57: And they actually showed me in their policy book that uh they do not give accounts for firearms dealers.
24:42
SPEAKER_57: So personal terms.
24:43
SPEAKER_57: So I went to a local uh credit union and asked them if they would give an account to a firearms dealer, and they guess looked at me sideways, like, well, why wouldn't we?
24:52
SPEAKER_57: So there's kind of the difference between the two.
24:54
SPEAKER_57: Okay, a great show.
24:56
SPEAKER_35: Uh thank you so much uh for that.
24:58
SPEAKER_35: Uh great to hear from you uh again, Doug from Savage.
25:01
SPEAKER_35: It's it's uh tough to know who you can trust to anymore, whether you're talking about banking, especially when it comes to service on your home.
25:09
SPEAKER_35: You can absolutely trust the Ericsson Plumbing Heating Air and uh Electrical.
25:13
SPEAKER_35: Uh because of their joining the show, and we're so proud to have them partners here on the John Justice show presented by American Experiment.
25:18
SPEAKER_35: Catherine Johnson will be joining us just after 7 o'clock this morning.
25:21
SPEAKER_35: Uh, she took advantage of uh Erickson, had them come over and deal with some issues in their home.
25:26
SPEAKER_35: It was timely service, it was accurate uh service, and just like you will experience, Catherine experienced, honest and truly in her and her family's best interest in terms of the work that they did.
25:38
SPEAKER_35: It's because they have licensed experts across all the major trades, and they have been providing dependable service to people in the Twin Cities for over 43 years.
25:46
SPEAKER_35: Non-commissioned, so you know that the recommendations that you are going to get are going to be ones that are honest and again in your best interest.
25:54
SPEAKER_35: You're not going to be taken for a ride.
25:56
SPEAKER_35: I took advantage of their iHeart My Home Club, full home mechanical analysis, making sure that the home is running exactly the way that it should.
26:05
SPEAKER_35: They handled a few things.
26:06
SPEAKER_35: They fixed them right on the spot for free.
26:09
SPEAKER_35: They would have been incredibly expensive in the future, but they identified them and took care of them on the spot free of charge while they gave me a full home analysis right on down to water quality testing.
26:18
SPEAKER_35: Learn more at iHeartedErickson.com or give them a call today and tell them that John Justice or, you know, Catherine Johnson sent you uh here from American Experiment.
26:27
SPEAKER_35: That number is 763-783-4545.
26:30
SPEAKER_35: That's 763-783-4545.
26:34
SPEAKER_31: Hey, John.
26:35
SPEAKER_31: Question for you.
26:36
SPEAKER_31: It's driving me nuts now.
26:38
SPEAKER_31: I'm picturing a movie with Burt Reynolds.
26:40
SPEAKER_31: He's a stump man.
26:43
SPEAKER_31: And they had to do like a they had to launch a car across a gorge or something.
26:47
SPEAKER_31: It sounds like Elon talking about, hey, let's rock and propel this car and see how far we can go.
26:53
SPEAKER_31: Was that Fall Guy?
26:55
SPEAKER_35: Oh, aren't you thinking of a great day?
26:57
SPEAKER_35: Aren't you thinking of Smokey and the Bandit, I think, maybe?
26:59
SPEAKER_03: This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met.
27:05
SPEAKER_03: Or seen.
27:06
SPEAKER_03: Or witnessed.
27:08
SPEAKER_35: Um Yeah, that dude just made a uh just made a flying car.
27:13
SPEAKER_58: Good morning, John.
27:14
SPEAKER_58: Uh Freedom Pride is brandy up in Brooklyn Park.
27:18
SPEAKER_58: I uh my best memory doing the driving thing was uh NAF car package we did.
27:27
SPEAKER_58: You were able to go off and drive, first of all, uh case car okay.
27:35
SPEAKER_58: I just remember uh my neck mapping back.
27:40
SPEAKER_58: Having a great time on a little quarter mile track, uh those guys get beat up a lot during those races.
27:48
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, so I drove, I did the uh Richard Petty driving experience at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
27:54
SPEAKER_35: That was actually right around, I was working at the same radio station doing the afternoon rock show uh there in Atlanta and at 96 Rock, and it was right around the same time when I got to uh go in the car with the ACDC frontman.
28:06
SPEAKER_35: Also met Aerosmith at that uh radio station.
28:08
SPEAKER_35: Uh but I did the Richard Petty driving experience when you actually get to drive a stock car.
28:12
SPEAKER_35: I didn't do very well on that.
28:13
SPEAKER_35: You only get a couple of laps, so you don't really have time to get into a groove or anything.
28:18
SPEAKER_35: So that was kind of a that was kind of a bummer.
28:21
SPEAKER_35: I also did a pace car lap around Talladega, but still nothing honestly, nothing compared to one, that road course uh journey that I went on, but also uh the uh the test drive in the cyber truck, just absolutely um insane.
28:40
SPEAKER_35: Thank you for the comment uh on the uh blaster line.
28:43
SPEAKER_35: Again, uh 651-964-0294.
28:46
SPEAKER_27: Good freedom Friday morning.
28:49
SPEAKER_27: Really cool with that left.
28:51
SPEAKER_27: But the left isn't gonna stop.
29:00
SPEAKER_27: So they're gonna be like still AOC right.
29:05
SPEAKER_27: Smart people, rich people, billionaires.
29:09
SPEAKER_27: And she knows because he didn't actually build it himself.
29:13
SPEAKER_27: Unless there's video of them actually sitting there building it, that would be really cool to see.
29:18
SPEAKER_27: That's just a laugh.
29:19
SPEAKER_27: They don't they don't care about hierarchy and how that works.
29:23
SPEAKER_27: Unless it's him overseeing all of us.
29:26
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
29:28
SPEAKER_35: That argument, by the way, is the most ridiculous argument that you could ever put forward.
29:33
SPEAKER_35: It shows you just how jealous and the lack of integrity that individuals have, the leftists have.
29:41
SPEAKER_35: Because of this, their blind hatred of anybody who's associated with the right, or more specifically, President Donald Trump.
29:48
SPEAKER_35: That's all that it is.
29:49
SPEAKER_35: You know, Elon, just like Trump, used to be a darling on the left until he wasn't anymore.
29:54
SPEAKER_35: And you can still do two things at once.
29:55
SPEAKER_35: You can still acknowledge the accomplishments of SpaceX and Elon Musk and still not like the fact that he worked with Trump.
30:03
SPEAKER_35: But this argument that oh, he's you know, that he didn't do this on his own, he had a team.
30:09
SPEAKER_35: Imagine people saying that about my other one of my other, you know, my my family, NASCAR, Depeche Mode, and my other love of Star Wars.
30:17
SPEAKER_35: Imagine people saying that about George Lucas and the original Star Wars.
30:21
SPEAKER_35: Well, you know, I know George came up with the idea, but it was really his team around him that made all the special effects and really put everything up on screen.
30:30
SPEAKER_35: I mean, you know, I mean, George came up with the story, but he didn't do it on his own.
30:34
SPEAKER_35: No, that's how this always works.
30:38
SPEAKER_35: And George Lucas appropriately gets all the credit, and he gets credit for having the vision and then going and assembling a team to go and enact that vision.
30:49
SPEAKER_35: I mean, people can make the same argument on a much lesser scale about this show.
30:55
SPEAKER_37: It's like, well, you know, I know John talks on the air and he, you know, does his show and all that, but really, if it wasn't for Devin pushing the buttons and American experiment, you know, hiring him.
31:05
SPEAKER_37: I mean, it's really you really can't give him any credit whatsoever.
31:09
SPEAKER_37: Mm-hmm.
31:09
SPEAKER_35: Oh, speaking of which, I'll spike this in really quick.
31:11
SPEAKER_35: We'll get back to more of your uh your thoughts here.
31:13
SPEAKER_35: So you know that we have uh it's a Freedom Friday, so we're just gonna we're just gonna keep plowing on through.

SPEAKER_35: And I think it's going on tour.
31:28

31:36
SPEAKER_35: We had Bill Walsh, uh, who joined us in studio yesterday, will announce the final is coming up just after November, and then the winner will be announced at Thanksgiving for the Golden Turkey Award.
31:47
SPEAKER_35: And for example, last year, Governor Dim Walls got it for spending$430,000 to be trained doing that thing with my fingers to go and partake in the congressional testimony that he did last year.
32:00
SPEAKER_35: Other examples include the Southwest Light Rail that uh received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
32:07

32:41
SPEAKER_35: And listen, to be honest, I have at least uh a thousand and one.
32:44
SPEAKER_35: Oh, look, a thousand and two.
32:46
SPEAKER_35: All right, okay.
32:47

39:28
SPEAKER_21: First thing that popped in my head when you're describing this video, which I have not seen yet, is the Jetsons music with the DeLorean from Back to the Future 2 uh mixed with a little bit of uh Blade Runner cars.
39:41
SPEAKER_35: You you nailed it.
39:42
SPEAKER_35: That's exactly what it is.
39:44
SPEAKER_35: That's a hot as a matter of fact, people have already taken the Back to the Future theme and dubbed it over the videos that were released online.
39:54
SPEAKER_35: That's exactly what it what it looks like.
39:56
SPEAKER_35: So hey, you know what?

SPEAKER_21: I I it would have been hilarious if you were to tell me that he had the Jetson theme song in the background when they're showing that car off.
40:31
SPEAKER_21: Just unbelievable technology.
40:33
SPEAKER_22: Oh, yeah, yeah.
40:34
SPEAKER_21: The dumbest billionaire I've ever met.
40:37
SPEAKER_21: Keep talking, AOC.
40:38
SPEAKER_21: Keep talking.
40:39
SPEAKER_21: Tell me you're stupid without telling me you're stupid.
40:41
SPEAKER_35: There's an Ilhan Omar one going around where she's trashing Elon, where she's trashing Elon Musk, and they've now juxtaposed that with the footage of him making a frickin' flying car.
40:51
SPEAKER_35: Alright, let's go here.
40:53
SPEAKER_29: Happy Friday, John.
40:55
SPEAKER_29: Good show.
40:56
SPEAKER_29: Um yeah, so my car experience, this is random guy greater Minnesota.
41:01
SPEAKER_29: Um, my dad's got a supercharged Shelby GT500 Mustang.
41:07
SPEAKER_29: It's actually the KR version for those that know what that means.
41:10
SPEAKER_29: Um it's 540 horse, six-speed manual.
41:14
SPEAKER_29: It does pretty well.
41:16
SPEAKER_29: It has been in a nine second quarter mile cooler.
41:20
SPEAKER_29: Um, but the Mustang truly handles on corners, so it's it's a lot of fun.
41:26
SPEAKER_29: It'll put you back in a hurry.
41:28
SPEAKER_29: And uh yeah, I'm kind of a speed nut, so it's right up my alley.
41:34
SPEAKER_29: Uh have a good Friday.
41:35
SPEAKER_29: Thanks.
41:36
SPEAKER_29: Bye.
41:36
SPEAKER_35: Uh, we'll start with Isaac.
41:38
SPEAKER_35: Uh do you know top of your head, fastest you've ever gone in an automobile?
41:42
SPEAKER_38: Uh top of my head, I don't think so.
41:44
SPEAKER_35: Do you know the fastest that you've ever driven?
41:47
SPEAKER_35: Personally?
41:48
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, but my mom's listening to it.
41:49
SPEAKER_35: Okay.
41:50
SPEAKER_35: Okay, I'll keep I'll keep you, I'll keep you, I'll keep you innocent.
41:52
SPEAKER_35: Uh Devin, how about you?
41:54
SPEAKER_35: Fastest you ever gone in a in a car?
41:55
SPEAKER_35: Do you know?
41:56
SPEAKER_39: I don't know if I I do know.
41:57
SPEAKER_39: I don't know if I want to say it because then I'd incriminate myself.
42:00
SPEAKER_39: But Okay.
42:01
SPEAKER_35: Well, no one's got no one's gonna arrest either of you.
42:03
SPEAKER_35: It's not like the cops are gonna come in through the door.
42:05
SPEAKER_35: They got bigger for the bully gang.
42:08
SPEAKER_39: It was it was in a minivan.
42:10
SPEAKER_35: Wow, okay.
42:11
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, we we pushed it.
42:13
SPEAKER_35: All right.
42:14
SPEAKER_35: So the fastest I've ever personally driven was in a uh was in a loner dodge dodge magnum.
42:21
SPEAKER_35: You familiar with the Dodge Magnum?
42:23
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, it's essentially a souped up station wagon.
42:25
SPEAKER_35: Uh I've told the story before.
42:26
SPEAKER_35: We were running late for a remote in uh in Grant when I was working in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
42:31
SPEAKER_35: And uh I got that up to I was over 110.
42:36
SPEAKER_35: That's yeah that's quick.
42:38
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, it was it was not for very moving.
42:40
SPEAKER_35: Not for very long, mind you.
42:42
SPEAKER_35: My video, my minivan got close.
42:44
SPEAKER_35: Did it 105.
42:45
SPEAKER_35: Okay, that's good, that's impressive.
42:47
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, not for very long.
42:48
SPEAKER_35: Uh uh, but we were uh we were definitely uh definitely pushing it.
42:52
SPEAKER_35: But I mean on top of that, I in the in the uh Richard Petty driving experience, I think I went faster.
42:58
SPEAKER_35: I think I I think I got that up to I want to say 120 or 130.
43:02
SPEAKER_35: I have a framed picture of my big old fat face back then, you know, with my helmet on, sitting in the car and all that.
43:08
SPEAKER_35: I'll snap it and put it online at some point, uh some point in time.
43:11
SPEAKER_35: That's quick.
43:11
SPEAKER_38: That's that's moving.
43:12
SPEAKER_38: Yeah.
43:13
SPEAKER_38: The dashes are flying by you.
43:14
SPEAKER_35: It is the if you've ever seen the movie um a Ford versus Ferrari, there's a great movie.
43:20
SPEAKER_35: That one I have seen.
43:22
SPEAKER_35: One of my favorite moments was when uh you had the Christian Bale character, he's talking with his son, they're at the testing facility, which is essentially uh at an airport where they're using the airfields that are that are empty uh to go and and build this this Ford to compete in the 24 hours of Lamont.
43:39
SPEAKER_35: And he's talking about finding the perfect lap, and he mentions that moment where you just end up in the zone and everything slows down when you hit a certain speed.
43:48
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, that's exactly what it was, what it was like.
43:50
SPEAKER_35: That's so cool.
43:50
SPEAKER_35: Not unlike being terrified when I was uh when I was in the car with the lead singer of uh of AC DC.
43:56
SPEAKER_35: So uh Mike says uh Mike from Excel's.
44:00
SPEAKER_35: Here.
44:00
SPEAKER_35: 186 miles per hour on Highway 10 in New Mexico on a motorcycle.
44:09
SPEAKER_35: Okay.
44:10
SPEAKER_35: So that may be that this may be ha this might have to be like one of the questions of the morning is how fast have you traveled in a car?
44:17
SPEAKER_35: Maybe we can do that.
44:19
SPEAKER_35: 651-964-0294.
44:22
SPEAKER_31: ALC is not impressed with Elon Musk in the flying car because the only thing that she's impressed about is flying gin bottles.
44:31
SPEAKER_31: That's her impressions.
44:33
SPEAKER_31: Yep, Elon Musk is stupid.
44:36
SPEAKER_31: Thanks, ALC, for proving us right once again.
44:40
SPEAKER_03: This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.
44:51
SPEAKER_35: Representative Max Reimer.
44:54
SPEAKER_16: Good morning.
44:55
SPEAKER_16: What's up, buddy?
44:56
SPEAKER_16: What's up?
44:57
SPEAKER_16: How you doing?
44:58
SPEAKER_16: So that car thing last night.
45:01
SPEAKER_16: Right?
45:01
SPEAKER_16: Unbelievable.
45:02
SPEAKER_35: I was waiting for you.
45:03
SPEAKER_35: I knew it.
45:04
SPEAKER_35: I knew it.
45:04
SPEAKER_35: Unbelievable.
45:05
SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
45:06
SPEAKER_16: And the hilarious part is not to start ranting right away while I'm here, but when you have somebody like AOC or Elizabeth Warren talking about how dumb Elon Musk is, or this and the other the other thing, government can't do that.
45:22
SPEAKER_16: What he did last night, government can't do that.
45:26
SPEAKER_16: No, they would have been stopped.
45:27
SPEAKER_35: I mean, just you have the technological aspect of it, but then you have the added layer of the hoops that they would have to go through in order to actually try to go and do that with the car.
45:40
SPEAKER_35: The government probably would have stopped it from happening.
45:42
SPEAKER_16: And they can't government can't innovate.
45:45
SPEAKER_16: It doesn't create anything, it uses old ideas.
45:49
SPEAKER_16: If there's any innovation whatsoever in government, and I think about I was thinking about this on the drive-in.
45:57
SPEAKER_16: If this is a big part of like why Donald Trump needed to get elected in 2024, because Elon Musk, at worst, would have been slow rolled in this entire thing in a Kabala Harris administration, or at best would have been slow rolled.
46:13
SPEAKER_16: At worst, Elon Musk would be in jail right now.
46:16
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
46:16
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
46:16
SPEAKER_16: Like those are 100%.
46:18
SPEAKER_16: And instead, what what we get is we get flying cars.
46:21
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
46:22
SPEAKER_16: Like those are the stakes in 2024.
46:25
SPEAKER_16: Stuff like that.
46:26
SPEAKER_16: That is like American ingenuity, capitalism, everything that makes our country great was on display last night watching literal what like reverse gravity or whatever that technology is when it goes up the ramp into a flying car.
46:44
SPEAKER_16: That is I do we realize how cool that was last night?
46:50
SPEAKER_35: And it demonstrates already with some of the nonsensical pushback that I've seen online of individuals trying to strip away the credit from Elon Musk, saying, like the analogy I gave before, it's the equivalent of saying, yeah, George Lucas created Star Wars, but if it wasn't for everybody you put around him, it wouldn't have been anything.
47:06
SPEAKER_35: So he doesn't deserve any credit.
47:08
SPEAKER_35: They're saying the same thing about Elon, but the reason why is because we live in this world right now where if somebody is able to go and accomplish something on their own and be successful, there is power in that.
47:22
SPEAKER_35: And the left needs at every opportunity to do whatever they can to grab whatever they must from that power to take it for themselves.
47:32
SPEAKER_35: So they can't prop it up, they can't take credit for it.
47:35
SPEAKER_35: So instead, what do they do?
47:36
SPEAKER_35: They drag it down, they diminish it to try to make themselves more powerful by perpetuating the negativity out into the world over it.
47:44
SPEAKER_35: But that's the reason why.
47:45
SPEAKER_35: And it was not always that way to Devin and to Isaac.
47:48
SPEAKER_16: It used to be a lot better.
47:50
SPEAKER_16: It's it's pure envy and jealousy.
47:52
SPEAKER_16: And this moment that we find ourselves in, we really haven't seen such strides when it comes to technology like this or entrepreneurship like this.
48:01
SPEAKER_16: I hope people can appreciate that right now you don't have to be a jealous leftist.
48:07
SPEAKER_16: If you're a jealous leftist, we've already written you off.
48:10
SPEAKER_16: We we don't care about your opinion, but you are witnessing a modern day John Rockefeller or Walt Disney or Andrew Carnegie.
48:20
SPEAKER_16: That is who Elon Musk has become.
48:22
SPEAKER_16: And of course, engineers deserve the credit or what have you.
48:26
SPEAKER_16: But to have the vision, I saw a tweet from Elon Musk back in 2019 talking about how they were gonna do this.
48:33
SPEAKER_16: To have a vision like that and execute it, you are literally living through modern history watching this guy operate right now.
48:41
SPEAKER_16: It's I feel blessed to have seen that video last night.
48:46
SPEAKER_16: That I can't believe it.
48:48
SPEAKER_16: I can't believe it.
48:48
SPEAKER_35: Well, and to Devin and to Isaac, um, I uh I wanna I wanna share something with both of you guys.
48:55
SPEAKER_35: Since you're since you're both younger, you know, of a younger generation, you know, Max, you're kind of right there in the right there in the middle.
49:01
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, you're getting old too.
49:02
SPEAKER_35: Um, but Melinda and I last night we were watching.
49:04
SPEAKER_35: Have you guys seen the uh the Chat GPT uh uh advertisements with the uh with the old lady?
49:10
SPEAKER_35: I don't know who she is.
49:11
SPEAKER_35: She said, You know the one I'm talking about, Isaac?
49:13
SPEAKER_38: Okay, yeah, where he's like she's like talking to her phone.
49:15
SPEAKER_38: Yeah.
49:15
SPEAKER_35: So there's one where she's doing sewing, she's sewing something, and there's a new one now where she ends up sailing on a ship.
49:21
SPEAKER_35: Have you seen that definition?
49:22
SPEAKER_35: Okay.
49:22
SPEAKER_35: So I was telling Melinda last night, I said, sometime in the future, we are going to think back to, I was in the moment with Melinda.
49:31
SPEAKER_35: I'm like, you and I are gonna think back to this moment and the comment I'm making right now, and we're gonna laugh at, oh, remember back when, you know, we used to just have AI on our phones?
49:41
SPEAKER_35: Because you're gonna see advertisements on TV of actual, you know, androids and robots utilizing AI.
49:46
SPEAKER_35: And we're like, you know what, remember when it was so funny when it was all archaic and the AI was just on our phones and now it's in our everyday life and we're all living off the government because universal basic income has become a thing?
49:58
SPEAKER_35: Um, not to make everybody depressed.
49:59
SPEAKER_35: No, but the point I wanted to make is, especially for you guys, uh, there will be a point in the future where this moment, when it comes to Elon Musk and what he created, you know, what he will do moving forward, you know, this will seem archaic.
50:13
SPEAKER_35: It'll be like, wow, I remember when he made the flying car, and now we're on Mars.
50:17
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, you know, this kind of thing.
50:18
SPEAKER_35: Now we've got the cars and they're up on on Mars.
50:21
SPEAKER_35: And so it's pretty, it's pretty incredible.
50:22
SPEAKER_35: It's gonna be incredible for you guys.
50:24
SPEAKER_35: I'll probably be long gone by then, but we'll remember you.
50:26
SPEAKER_38: But even this, yeah, even this show on a much smaller scale, like even at the beginning of your career, John, like this whole streaming, you would have had no idea like, oh, we're just gonna stream on YouTube and we're gonna have all these camera setups and you know, all this different technology that's gonna anyone can get it anywhere, basically.
50:43
SPEAKER_35: When I got into radio, I was still for just a brief period of time, we were still editing phone calls on a reel-to-reel machine using razor blades and small pieces of tape.
50:52
SPEAKER_35: Oh, wow.
50:53
SPEAKER_35: In the middle of the songs, you would have to you would record the phone calls, put them on the reel to reel, and then you would have to work it to edit it, I mean lightning fast, and then play it back on the air.
51:03
SPEAKER_39: That sounds like a nightmare.
51:04
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
51:05
SPEAKER_16: I'll just say I think you will still be here for a lot of this stuff because the acceleration of this technology is unreal.
51:13
SPEAKER_16: I mean, when we talk about either AI or robotics or what Elon Musk is doing, where we literally have rockets that are launching and landing on basically pencil thin islands and to reuse the rockets, it's just that you think about where we came from, even from the first iPhone to right now.
51:32
SPEAKER_16: This technology technological advancement is like hockey stick growth type of technological advancement.
51:39
SPEAKER_16: We're like, I I don't I don't know what we're gonna look at in a year from now or three years from now.
51:44
SPEAKER_16: I don't know what AI is going to do in that time period.
51:48
SPEAKER_16: You your only limitation is your imagination at this point.
51:52
SPEAKER_16: So will we be on Mars?
51:54
SPEAKER_16: I don't know what the timeline is for that, but I just know that the last five years, the last ten years, that technological curve is it's going crazy.
52:04
SPEAKER_35: I had no idea.
52:05
SPEAKER_35: I had no clue that he was even doing this.
52:07
SPEAKER_35: I hadn't either.
52:08
SPEAKER_35: And I was kind of shocked.
52:09
SPEAKER_35: I gotta talk to my son Logan because he's always on top of this stuff.
52:12
SPEAKER_35: He was watching uh Starship videos yesterday because they're working on the chopsticks to catch space uh to catch Starship next time they do the launch, just like they did with uh with the uh with the booster.
52:23
SPEAKER_35: So um so I had no idea that he was even making a roadster, let alone a flying car.
52:28
SPEAKER_35: So let's do let's do this.
52:29
SPEAKER_35: I want to put a pin in this conversation.
52:31
SPEAKER_35: Uh, we had a lot of comments that have rolled into the blaster line.
52:34
SPEAKER_35: I want to do just a quick lightning round of uh blast from you, and then I want to get into some of the news of the morning, and we're definitely gonna revisit this.
52:42
SPEAKER_35: And I have a really fun list that we'll attach to it once we have our whole Freedom Friday crew in studio again.
52:48
SPEAKER_35: Devin is producing this morning.
52:49
SPEAKER_35: We have producer Isaac sitting in one of the comfy chairs.
52:52
SPEAKER_35: He'll be joined by Catherine Johnson uh coming up just after seven o'clock.
52:56
SPEAKER_35: Uh, we have Max Reimer in studio.
52:58
SPEAKER_35: Uh aK Kamara was just made aware that yes, he is supposed to come in this morning.
53:01
SPEAKER_35: Oh.
53:02
SPEAKER_35: He was very confused.
53:02
SPEAKER_35: That's good.
53:03
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, he's like, Isaac's here.
53:04
SPEAKER_35: Am I coming in?
53:05
SPEAKER_35: Oh, it's kind of sad.
53:06
SPEAKER_35: Uh well, I guess because you're here.
53:08
SPEAKER_35: I was like thinking, why does he think that he'd be the one pitched off?
53:10
SPEAKER_35: But I guess Max you're already here.
53:12
SPEAKER_35: So yes.
53:12
SPEAKER_35: AK.
53:14
SPEAKER_35: Tough way to tell him.
53:15
SPEAKER_35: Come into the studio.
53:15
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, well, I mean, it's a usually we've kind of reached this unspoken agreement wherein, unless I unless you guys tell me you're not coming in, I just assume you're coming in.
53:23
SPEAKER_35: So all right, let's get to some of your thoughts from the uh blaster line.
53:26
SPEAKER_35: Again, 651-964-0294.
53:30
SPEAKER_32: Uh John, I just wanted to say, love the show.
53:32
SPEAKER_32: I just wanted to tell you that I have many times reached 100 miles an hour, but the very first time I did, 16 years old in my friend's Galaxy 500, he hit 110, looked over at me, and said, I hope the hood doesn't fly up like last time.
53:49
SPEAKER_32: By the way, I'm listener, 1015.
53:53
SPEAKER_35: Oh, thank you.
53:53
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, we're up to I actually right now we're up to 1020.
53:57
SPEAKER_35: Isn't that incredible?
53:58
SPEAKER_35: That's amazing.
54:00
SPEAKER_31: Yeah, John, you got me beat.
54:01
SPEAKER_31: My best is 109 on a country road at about 230 in the morning and lonely highway theory.
54:08
SPEAKER_31: I don't want to hit a gear at this speed, and I slow the back, slow it back down again, but it was fun.
54:14
SPEAKER_31: It was fun.
54:16
SPEAKER_35: Max, you have the fastest you've ever gone in a car.
54:18
SPEAKER_35: It's not over 100.
54:21
SPEAKER_35: Not impressive.
54:21
SPEAKER_35: No, maybe 87.
54:23
SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
54:23
SPEAKER_35: You see you seem you seem pretty conservative on that front.
54:26
SPEAKER_16: I can't imagine you being a speed demon on the roadway.
54:29
SPEAKER_16: I think I rode with a guy in high school who got like a muscle car one time who went on a back road, and he drove like 105 or something like that, and I felt like I'm going to die.
54:41
SPEAKER_16: I I never want to do this again.
54:44
SPEAKER_22: Good morning, John, and everybody else who happens to be there when you played this Alpha Trucker near Rapid City, getting up for another workday.
54:52
SPEAKER_22: The fastest I ever went when I was very young was in uh a Buick Skylark when I was just out of high school.
54:59
SPEAKER_22: And uh hit 100 miles an hour, and uh my buddy and I decided we didn't ever want to do that again.
55:06
SPEAKER_22: Then in 2001, I purchased a 2001 Subaru WRX, and that was the fastest pocket rocket uh I've ever seen, and took that thing almost to the limit of 148 in a state that shall fate and uh be unnamed at this point.
55:23
SPEAKER_22: Um nowadays I just gotta put her along at 6570 or so.
55:28
SPEAKER_22: You guys have a great show.
55:29
SPEAKER_22: I'm gonna assume that it's good so far.
55:31
SPEAKER_35: You get into that 120, 130, 140 range, and that's when it gets scary because you just don't you get the wind blowing the wrong way, and yeah, you're going you're going high stage, you're going for a ride.
55:46
SPEAKER_19: Paul.
55:46
SPEAKER_19: Thinking about that musk flying car, it kind of brings back memories of the short-lived series Ottoman.
55:55
SPEAKER_19: If you remember that, it was like a computer-generated train IE television series.
56:06
SPEAKER_19: Unbelievable, like it reminded me of the show where the human side kick would be in the future of the car, and the car would be flying on the road and take this quick turn and you just get a flash of the front of the car with the partner's face tested against the window because it moved so fast.
56:24
SPEAKER_19: Also, I was thinking, doesn't that kind of look like what the Knight Rider kit car turbo boost would look like?
56:33
SPEAKER_19: Have a good day.
56:34
SPEAKER_35: When I saw when it when I first saw the car lift off the ground, it looked just like the spinners and Blade Runner.
56:39
SPEAKER_35: That's the part of it that just made me, I was like, wow.
56:41
SPEAKER_35: I didn't even talk about the fact that the car just looks awesome in and of itself.
56:44
SPEAKER_35: Yes.
56:44
SPEAKER_36: We don't even talk about that.
56:45
SPEAKER_36: It looks wonderful.
56:46
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, it looks fantastic.
56:47
SPEAKER_35: I it annoys me so much, and I know we need to move out the car talk for just a little bit, but it annoys me that we don't make many sedans anymore.
56:55
SPEAKER_35: We just don't.
56:56
SPEAKER_35: I mean, we have Hyundai in Kia, you know, you drive one and I drive one.
57:00
SPEAKER_35: But like in NASCAR, the car that they use, because you know, the whole NASCAR thing was supposed to be, you know, win on win on Sunday, sell on Monday, because they're supposed to be dine like, you know, supposed to be looking like your actual showroom models.
57:14
SPEAKER_35: And the new version, the most recent next-gen car, is a little closer.
57:17
SPEAKER_35: But the Chevrolet that they run isn't even like in existence.
57:20
SPEAKER_35: It's like a modified the body is like a modified uh Mustang, I think is what it's supposed to be.
57:25
SPEAKER_35: Uh not a Mustang, a um Camaro, a Chevy Camaro.
57:29
SPEAKER_16: Oh, so the original vision for NASCAR was that you can have access to these cars?
57:33
SPEAKER_16: That was the whole point.
57:33
SPEAKER_16: Oh, wow.
57:34
SPEAKER_35: It was supposed to be, yeah, NASCAR when it when it started was supposed to be it was like the everyman's race, wherein we're just racing automobiles that you would purchase right directly from the dealership and we're taking them out and racing them.
57:48
SPEAKER_35: Oh wow.
57:49
SPEAKER_35: And then over time it ended up changing.
57:51
SPEAKER_35: And more recently with the next gen car, they've tried to get closer back to make them look like the production models.
57:57
SPEAKER_35: Sure.
57:57
SPEAKER_35: Um, and they've done like like the Fords run the Dark Horse, uh, the Toyotas run the Camry, but the the Chevy Camaros, they don't even make those in production anymore because Chevy doesn't make any sedans, so it's just kind of it's depressing to me.
58:10
SPEAKER_35: I like sedans.
58:11
SPEAKER_16: Just one more thing on the car, uh, the car component with Elon Musk.
58:15
SPEAKER_16: It's a sign of the times, too, because I don't know if you first saw the video, John, if you did what I did.
58:20
SPEAKER_16: I had to verify like a dozen times that what I was looking at was not AI.
58:25
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, I woke up and Logan had texted it to me because he's the SpaceX fanatic in our household.
58:30
SPEAKER_35: And I he didn't tell me they were doing this.
58:32
SPEAKER_35: Apparently, the family watched this last night.
58:34
SPEAKER_35: He texted it to me and he just underneath it, he just said basically speed racer.
58:37
SPEAKER_35: I watched the video and I didn't even know what I was watching.
58:40
SPEAKER_35: I'm like, I don't know what this I didn't what is this AI thing.
58:42
SPEAKER_35: I have no idea.
58:43
SPEAKER_16: That's what I thought too.
58:44
SPEAKER_16: I was like, this is AI.
58:45
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
58:46
SPEAKER_16: And just over time, for the next like maybe half an hour, I had to just basically verify hey, am I looking at something that is real?
58:54
SPEAKER_16: Because the flipping looks it looks fake.
58:58
SPEAKER_16: You can't believe how crazy it looks.
59:00
SPEAKER_16: It doesn't look real.
59:01
SPEAKER_20: Hey, John.
59:02
SPEAKER_20: You know, I think Elons like um Tony Stark, John Galt, Thomas Edison, uh Henry Ford, all those guys like rolled up into one.
59:12
SPEAKER_20: He's really, really uh an amazing, amazing human.
59:16
SPEAKER_35: So let's uh put a pin in this conversation.
59:18
SPEAKER_35: I want to get to a couple of uh news items, and we'll start here as we get ready to head into the second hour uh of the John Justice Show on a Freedom Friday.

1:03:13
unknown: Just kidding.
1:03:14
SPEAKER_35: Uh it is the John Justin show presented by American Experiment.
1:03:17

1:03:33
SPEAKER_35: In studio, we have producer uh Isaac joining us for the first time, sitting on that side of the room, for this show at least.
1:03:40
SPEAKER_35: For this show.
1:03:40
SPEAKER_35: You're no stranger to the studio by any stretch.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
1:03:43
SPEAKER_35: Max Reimer is also uh joining us this morning, having speedily uh made his arrival.
1:03:47
SPEAKER_35: Producer Devin uh pushing the buttons uh this morning.
1:03:50
SPEAKER_35: We have A.K.
1:03:51
SPEAKER_35: Kamar and Catherine Johnson joining us soon.
1:03:53
SPEAKER_35: Uh this story from uh Ben Oregon, just talk about it briefly.
1:03:57
SPEAKER_35: Uh 16-year-old male.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_35: I hope that we get uh I do hope we get details on the motivation of this individual.
1:04:04
SPEAKER_35: It's incredibly important to have these conversations.
1:04:07
SPEAKER_35: I feel like we probably won't have a conversation about this because the story is more than likely going to be quickly memory-hold considering that this was a good guy with a gun that stopped this.
1:04:17
SPEAKER_35: But both elements of this should be talked about on a national level.
1:04:20
SPEAKER_35: One, you know, the importance of individuals being able to uh, you know, arm themselves, taking advantage of their Second Amendment rights, and in circumstances like this, being able to use those rights to defend others and keep a tragedy from becoming even worse.
1:04:34
SPEAKER_35: And then also what may have uh motivated this 16-year-old male.
1:04:38
SPEAKER_35: Um, and you know, without knowing any details, it's hard to go and and uh add any further commentary to that.
1:04:43
SPEAKER_35: But uh Isaac, do you have any thoughts on uh on the story from overnight?
1:04:47
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, a couple thoughts just right out of the gate.
1:04:49
SPEAKER_38: One, um I think we always have to acknowledge the bravery and just like courage of this like community member to go in there and stop this, um, to take action in his own hands.
1:04:59
SPEAKER_38: Um I just think in that moment it'd be so easy to try to convince yourself like that you didn't see what you actually saw or to like to freeze kind of in that moment.
1:05:07
SPEAKER_38: So just the bravery to just, you know, see that and then instantly take action.
1:05:11
SPEAKER_38: And two, just the importance of like you know, just from the timeline that the they were going over in that press conference, it really doesn't sound like the police could have done any better than they did, which is to say they did a great job responding within three minutes they were on the scene, which just uh to me shows the importance of why we should be exercising our second amendment rights.
1:05:35
SPEAKER_38: Because even when the police shows up in three minutes, could you imagine how much worse this tragedy could have been if this guy wasn't there?
1:05:40
SPEAKER_38: And the police showed up like almost instantaneously.
1:05:43
SPEAKER_38: I mean so those are just Could have been a lot worse.
1:05:46
SPEAKER_38: A couple of my initial thoughts.
1:05:48
SPEAKER_16: Uh Max Reimer.
1:05:50
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, similar to Isaac, it's I I guess I appreciate the speed at which we had information from the Bend Police Department.
1:05:58
SPEAKER_16: It seems like so often with these.
1:06:00
SPEAKER_16: Tragedies that you have to wait a pretty long time to figure out who the victim was or who the victims were and who the the perpetrator was.
1:06:09
SPEAKER_16: It seems like we got that information pretty quick.
1:06:11
SPEAKER_16: A couple things come to my mind is that we have solutions right for school safety.
1:06:15
SPEAKER_16: Here in Minnesota, we've been working on Ellie Dangan has been working on the SHIELD Act, which is kind of a comprehensive technology overhaul of our schools to harden them as targets.
1:06:27
SPEAKER_16: The Lakeville schools, I believe, have this technology where it's like it's facial rec recognition, but then it's also some technology and security upgrades for the classroom themselves.
1:06:40
SPEAKER_16: And that's what we got to be thinking about is how do we harden our schools as targets?
1:06:45
SPEAKER_16: And we do have technology that exists that can help do that that we have to try to focus on.
1:06:51
SPEAKER_16: Another thing is it sounds like this kid was using a shotgun, right?
1:06:56
SPEAKER_16: So it's not just AR-15s or weapons of war that I use that thing doing that thing with my fingers, weapons of war that can be used in tragedies like this.
1:07:08
SPEAKER_16: It is common uh firearms.
1:07:10
SPEAKER_16: So this idea that it's the gun that does the killing.
1:07:13
SPEAKER_16: No, it's it's it's the people that do the killing, and we have to figure out how to make our schools safer and harder targets for people like this to come in and try to cause mayhem and carnage.
1:07:26
SPEAKER_35: One of the other big news items uh yesterday, President Donald Trump announced that the execution of the convicted Ford Hood shooter, Nadan Malik Hassan, uh Nadal Malik uh Hassan uh will proceed by firing squad as scheduled, but will not be live streamed after Pete Heggseth, Secretary of War and friend of the show, said that it would.
1:07:46
SPEAKER_35: Uh Trump um said broadcasting the execution could have served as a powerful deterrent to terrorism, but acknowledged the objections from Americans who did not want to witness the killing.
1:07:56
SPEAKER_35: You didn't have to watch if you didn't want to.
1:07:58
SPEAKER_35: Uh, he wrote on True Social, I think the streaming execution for all the sea might have been a strong deterrent in the war for the world to witness how America deals with terrorists and scum like Hassan.
1:08:09
SPEAKER_35: However, he went on to say many very good and well-meaning people would rather not watch him die through streaming or any other visual device.
1:08:17
SPEAKER_35: He will die as scheduled by firing squad.
1:08:19
SPEAKER_35: Just a credible statement in and of itself.
1:08:21
SPEAKER_35: Uh, but this will not uh be live streamed.
1:08:24
SPEAKER_35: Uh the president said the victims' immediate families could witness the execution in person if they wished.
1:08:29
SPEAKER_35: They deserve to witness justice.
1:08:31
SPEAKER_35: Uh, I need to remind everybody, too.
1:08:32
SPEAKER_35: He could he was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in that November 5th, 2009 terrorist attack at Fort Hood, uh, Texas.
1:08:41
SPEAKER_35: Uh he was uh sentenced to death in uh 2013.
1:08:44
SPEAKER_35: Uh listen, I didn't really care either way, uh, but probably the probably the right move.
1:08:48
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, definitely the right move, I think, on at least I think we both, Max and I both agreed last week that we weren't really in favor of this live streaming this execution.
1:08:58
SPEAKER_38: So I I think it's a great response from President Trump, just kind of keeping his finger on the pulse of what people want and kind of listening to feedback and being willing to change.
1:09:08
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, we had talked, and Isaac, you're right, you and I did agree that it if it was gonna be live streamed, I would I was not gonna partake in that.
1:09:17
SPEAKER_16: I have no interest in watching death, no matter how it comes.
1:09:21
SPEAKER_16: Now, that's not to say that this guy shouldn't be put to death, and I happen to think, especially given the news of the last three weeks in Kentucky, that uh we try to basically whitewash the uh what death is when we do like lethal injections and things of that nature.
1:09:38
SPEAKER_16: I happen to think firing squad in this case is probably the most effective and efficient way to get to do it.
1:09:46
SPEAKER_16: It felt a little felt a little post-apocalyptic that it was like we're going to live stream this.
1:09:53
SPEAKER_16: It felt a little dirty to me.
1:09:56
SPEAKER_16: And man, depending on how it goes in two weeks here with the elections, it's like I think the Trump administration, for all the good things that we can talk about, I think they really need to start to kind of refocus on what this administration is, what we're hoping to accomplish in the final two years of his term.
1:10:14
SPEAKER_16: Because I don't know, John, the last year has felt kind of helter skelter to me.
1:10:19
SPEAKER_35: So two, a couple of things on this.
1:10:21
SPEAKER_35: Uh, first off, if they were gonna do it, there was a better way to handle it.
1:10:25
SPEAKER_35: They didn't need to go and announce it right now.
1:10:27
SPEAKER_35: It wasn't gonna be taking place until the beginning of December.
1:10:29
SPEAKER_35: You could have just said the execution is taking place and at the last minute, say, hey, everybody, guess what?
1:10:34
SPEAKER_35: It'll be live streamed if you want to watch it.
1:10:36
SPEAKER_35: You avoid all the controversy.
1:10:37
SPEAKER_35: This is probably the right move by the Trump administration.
1:10:40
SPEAKER_35: I don't care that much either way.
1:10:41
SPEAKER_35: The other thing I want to bring up, though, with this story is the fact that there was a lot of hemming and hawing and freaking out of individuals online when the announcement was made.
1:10:50
SPEAKER_35: And I'm talking about conservatives, you know, and my thought was this is all going to be forgotten, even if they go forward with it.
1:10:56
SPEAKER_35: Nobody's gonna be remembering the fact that this was happening until it again, uh until you get closer to the event in and of itself.
1:11:03
SPEAKER_35: And now this whole this whole incident will be forgotten about until he actually is uh is executed.
1:11:09
SPEAKER_35: Uh, I do want to go to the blaster line.
1:11:11
SPEAKER_35: A comment rolled in with regard to that Ben to Oregon uh shooting that I wanted to uh share here on a Freedom Friday as Catherine Johnson gets herself uh comfortable here in the American Experiment Studios.
1:11:22
SPEAKER_31: I think one other thing I could talk about in the Ben to Oregon shooting is yeah, the response from the police was three minutes, and the community member did a great job going in and doing that.
1:11:32
SPEAKER_31: Could we have sped up that law enforcement response?
1:11:34
SPEAKER_31: Sure.
1:11:34
SPEAKER_31: We could have done an SRO in there.
1:11:37
SPEAKER_31: That's exactly what the Democrats want is this type of tragedy to happen to make the headlines.
1:11:43
SPEAKER_31: That's why they take the SROs out of the schools.
1:11:46
SPEAKER_31: You could have SROs in there and could have prevented the 16-year-old from being radicalized or doing whatever he did by making that relationship every single day and having trust in the police.
1:11:56
SPEAKER_31: But no, we have to have the left remove all this from it so we radicalize these kids as much as we can.
1:12:02
SPEAKER_31: Have a great day.
1:12:02
SPEAKER_35: There's a further takeaway from this, and it really is everybody needs to chill out.
1:12:06
SPEAKER_35: Just chill out.
1:12:07
SPEAKER_35: No doubt, especially as you're heading into the weekend.
1:12:09
SPEAKER_35: You know one way you can chill out is with uh with uh mini leaf.
1:12:12
SPEAKER_35: M-I-N-N-E-L-E-A-F.com.
1:12:15

1:13:09
SPEAKER_15: That's a hero.
1:13:10
SPEAKER_15: That kid could have done a whole lot more damage.
1:13:12
SPEAKER_15: So in my eyes, he's absolutely a hero.
1:13:16
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, you know who's a hero to us?

1:13:40
SPEAKER_11: I my my husband is at the gym and he came home and I was like, Did you see this flying car thing?
1:13:44
SPEAKER_11: This is cool.
1:13:45
SPEAKER_11: And he was like, Oh, you you saw you're into that.
1:13:48
SPEAKER_11: Do you think that's cool?
1:13:49
SPEAKER_11: And I was like, Yes, it's a flying car, but he knows I hate space, I hate cars, I hate, you know, it's not my thing.
1:13:54
SPEAKER_11: I was hesitant to bring this up to you, so he he felt the same way, but uh no, it's a flying car.
1:13:59

1:15:15
SPEAKER_61: Only 62.6% of our students are proficient in reading, only 62.5% are proficient in math, and only 29.9% are proficient in design.
1:15:28
SPEAKER_61: So how are we graduating 94.9% of our students?
1:15:33
SPEAKER_61: You know, this has nothing to do with the quality of our teachers, and it had everything to do with a lack of a school board and administrative accountability.
1:15:41
SPEAKER_61: Our superintendent is not contractually responsible for student proficiency.
1:15:45
SPEAKER_61: Go to the blog section of my website, reelectjoeescott.com and ec s mcascores.com.
1:15:53
SPEAKER_61: Yeah, it was paid for by reelect Joe Scott.
1:15:56
SPEAKER_35: We had a comment that rolled into the uh blaster line.
1:15:58
SPEAKER_35: I disagree with Max's saying the government doesn't create anything.
1:16:02
SPEAKER_35: Government is pretty good at creating problems.
1:16:04
SPEAKER_35: So just Oh yeah, so they've got value.
1:16:07
SPEAKER_35: So stuff it, Max, for crying out loud, geez.
1:16:10
SPEAKER_35: How dare you, I'm just kidding.
1:16:11
SPEAKER_35: It really wasn't that egregious.
1:16:13
SPEAKER_35: I just figured I'd be dumb for a Freedom Friday.
1:16:15
SPEAKER_16: It is crazy though, when I I I posted it on Facebook last night, and to see kind of the liberal cope about all of this, you'll see this is AI, this is CGI, this is a waste of AI credits, this is totally impractical.
1:16:31
SPEAKER_16: Is it practical right now?
1:16:34
SPEAKER_16: No.
1:16:34
SPEAKER_16: But like the fact that we are moving something like this forward is incredible innovation.
1:16:41
SPEAKER_16: Like, we should be excited uh that this is happening, but people can't see through their political lens, man.
1:16:48
SPEAKER_35: Uh the president is right regarding the uh execution of the terrorist.
1:16:53
SPEAKER_35: Would have would I have watched it?
1:16:54
SPEAKER_35: Yes.
1:16:55
SPEAKER_35: Um, it should be two uh executions.
1:16:58
SPEAKER_35: Uh Biden killed 13 of our own uh no, I'm not reading that.
1:17:01
SPEAKER_35: That's horrible that's horrible.

1:17:27
SPEAKER_35: Oh, Max, you're just getting it from all sides.
1:17:28
SPEAKER_35: I believe uh awesome Max Reimer was referring to Tennessee, not Kentucky.
1:17:32
SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
1:17:33
SPEAKER_35: What were you talking about?

1:19:31
SPEAKER_35: A better punishment for that guy would be to have subjected him to nonstop cars for kids commercials.
1:19:38
SPEAKER_35: Listening in perpetuity.
1:19:39
SPEAKER_35: You know what's you know, we don't so that was certainly a staple on the previous show, right?
1:19:44
SPEAKER_35: And I know I I know that it drives the Cars for Kids jingle drives everybody nuts.
1:19:49
SPEAKER_35: But you know what?
1:19:50
SPEAKER_35: It's brilliant marketing because as much as you hate it, if you need to go and get rid of your car, that's the first thing you're thinking of is cars for kids.
1:19:58
SPEAKER_35: It's in the title, it's in the song.
1:20:01
SPEAKER_35: It's not, you're not gonna go.
1:20:02
SPEAKER_35: There's a commercial out there that I know they talk about selling, you know, cars.
1:20:06
SPEAKER_35: If you got, I don't know what's no, you know it's cars for kids.
1:20:09
SPEAKER_35: You may be annoyed, but it happened to me.
1:20:11
SPEAKER_35: We had to get rid of one of our cars, and it was like, yeah, we'll call 1-800 cars for kids.
1:20:15
SPEAKER_35: That's right.
1:20:16
SPEAKER_11: Didn't they have kind of a scandal recently?
1:20:17
SPEAKER_35: Did they?
1:20:18
SPEAKER_11: Well, now that they're not a sponsor.
1:20:20
SPEAKER_11: I'll stop talking about this if they do want to sponsor it.
1:20:22
SPEAKER_11: No, we're not, yeah, if you want to sponsor it.
1:20:23
SPEAKER_11: Um, but I think the scandal was that not all the money that they take in from the cars goes to kids.
1:20:28
SPEAKER_11: I don't think it was going to bad causes, but it's like it wasn't directly for kids.
1:20:32
SPEAKER_11: So people were like, wow, that's I didn't heard that.
1:20:34
SPEAKER_11: That's uh I don't know.
1:20:36
SPEAKER_11: I was just anyone leave a leave a bounce.
1:20:38
SPEAKER_11: What's it what blasts leave a bounce?
1:20:41
SPEAKER_11: You can leave a bounce.
1:20:42
SPEAKER_11: Leave a blast if you know what I'm talking about.
1:20:44
SPEAKER_11: First time on the show.
1:20:46
unknown: Yeah.
1:20:46
SPEAKER_11: Like time, first time.
1:20:47
SPEAKER_11: It's so early, man.
1:20:49
SPEAKER_35: All right.
1:20:49
SPEAKER_35: Let's say you've been doing this now for a couple of years with me every Friday.
1:20:54
SPEAKER_35: What do you mean it's early?
1:20:55
SPEAKER_11: My brain takes the moment.
1:20:57
SPEAKER_16: I'm pretty sure.
1:20:57
SPEAKER_16: I'm pretty sure the rumor was that, and I don't know how much of this is just anti-Israel sentiment, but I'm pretty sure the rumor was that they take they take the money or they take the cars and then they like ship them to Israel and they like it's for the benefit of Israel, Israeli kids.
1:21:17
SPEAKER_16: I'm pretty sure I saw that on X.
1:21:19
SPEAKER_16: Probably one of the dark corners of X.
1:21:21
SPEAKER_10: Maybe I brought up an anti-Semitic uh something around that.
1:21:25
SPEAKER_10: Oh my god.
1:21:26
SPEAKER_04: 1-800 cars for shekels donate your car today.
1:21:31
SPEAKER_35: Okay.
1:21:33
SPEAKER_35: All right.

SPEAKER_35: We do have wildcard uh Catherine uh Johnson in studio with us.

SPEAKER_04: I'm here, and I'm I'm glad to hear that I wasn't silently removed from the show.
1:21:54
SPEAKER_04: That's why I texted you versus the group.
1:21:56
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, hey man, you know, when it's your time, your time, you know.
1:22:00
SPEAKER_35: It's like there's a lot of dudes here today.
1:22:02
SPEAKER_35: I get a handful.
1:22:03
SPEAKER_35: Max Reimer is here, is here as well, and we have Devin producing the show.
1:22:07
SPEAKER_35: So I get a handful of texts every morning, and I can kind of predict who's texting me, especially on Fridays.
1:22:12
SPEAKER_35: You guys usually text me to let me know when you're going to arrive.
1:22:15
SPEAKER_35: Melinda will usually drop me a text in the morning just to, you know, talk about how her night was because I go to bed so early.
1:22:21
SPEAKER_35: So when I get like so so when like all of the people that usually text me, like those are I'm like, okay, everybody who usually texts me, those boxes have all been checked.
1:22:30
SPEAKER_35: Like, who's texting me now?
1:22:31
SPEAKER_35: I was like, oh, it's AK, sorry, dude.
1:22:34
SPEAKER_35: If I don't say don't be here, then you should just assume that you need to be here.
1:22:38
SPEAKER_04: What do they say?
1:22:38
SPEAKER_04: Like, uh, that's how show business goes.
1:22:41
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, get the get the pink slip.
1:22:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, sorry.
1:22:45
SPEAKER_16: K, you're out, man.
1:22:46
SPEAKER_04: No, I wouldn't do it.
1:22:47
SPEAKER_10: That's how show business goes.
1:22:49
SPEAKER_10: So close.
1:22:50
SPEAKER_10: That's showbiz, baby.
1:22:52
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, that's just hey, take it from somebody who knows, you know?
1:22:56
SPEAKER_35: Just saying.
1:22:57
SPEAKER_35: Your services are no longer needed here.
1:23:00
SPEAKER_35: It's like, okay.
1:23:00
SPEAKER_35: It's been 10 years, guys.
1:23:02
SPEAKER_35: Thanks for that.
1:23:04
SPEAKER_35: Appreciate it.
1:23:06
SPEAKER_35: Somebody says, I think the cars for kids' money all went uh to you know what?
1:23:10
SPEAKER_35: No, I I gotta read these.
1:23:13
SPEAKER_35: Gosh darn it, you guys.
1:23:14
SPEAKER_35: No, it's not your fault.
1:23:15
SPEAKER_35: I opened up.
1:23:16
SPEAKER_35: It's not your fault.
1:23:17
SPEAKER_35: It's people trying to be funny.
1:23:20
SPEAKER_35: All right.
1:23:20
SPEAKER_35: Uh, let's go here really quick.
1:23:22
SPEAKER_35: Not, I mean, this person may be trying to be funny, but federal authorities are investigating letters with suspicious substances that have been mailed to congressional and election offices nationwide and are urging recipients to treat the mailings as potentially hazardous.
1:23:36
SPEAKER_35: Uh, the notice was sent to the Senate offices.
1:23:38
SPEAKER_35: Law enforcement officials were working to intercept any additional letters.
1:23:41
SPEAKER_35: FBI said in the statement they're investigating uh these suspicious mailings, various addresses, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices.
1:23:51
SPEAKER_35: Some of the letters contained an unknown substance, and we're working closely with our law enforcement partners partners to respond to each one.
1:23:58
SPEAKER_35: Mailed packages containing a powdery substance led to the evacuation this week of election offices in at least two states.
1:24:05
SPEAKER_35: I didn't even hear about this.
1:24:06
SPEAKER_35: Did you guys hear about this?
1:24:08
SPEAKER_35: Louisiana and Oklahoma.
1:24:10
SPEAKER_35: Uh the Ohio Secretary of State said the Postal Service intercepted the package containing white powder intended for his office, and noted the similar mailings were sent to election offices in multiple states.
1:24:20
SPEAKER_35: Some of the letters contain threats and traces of the powerful opioid fentanyl.
1:24:26
SPEAKER_35: It is leading some election offices to stock up on the overdose reversal medication.
1:24:31
SPEAKER_35: The uh naloxone, am I saying?
1:24:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, naloxone, arcan.
1:24:35
SPEAKER_35: Uh deputy poster, uh deputy postal inspector Brendan Donnie, who told reporters that any threat or attack on election officials is unacceptable.
1:24:42
SPEAKER_35: We are also working with our partners on identifying the individual who's responsible for this.
1:24:46
SPEAKER_35: I and again, I was reminded of the anthrax scare that took place.
1:24:49
SPEAKER_35: It was 2000 or 2001, essentially.
1:24:51
SPEAKER_35: I was working for a rock station at the time in uh the Riverside San Bernardino area.
1:24:56
SPEAKER_35: We this is now in hindsight when I go and tell the story, it's like this is awful.
1:24:59
SPEAKER_35: But it was the height of the scare, and we wanted to know how freaked out everybody was.
1:25:03
SPEAKER_35: It was right after 9-11.
1:25:04
SPEAKER_35: Yep.
1:25:05
SPEAKER_35: So we uh did what any you know morning alternative rock morning show would do, and we got um we got white power.
1:25:12
SPEAKER_35: We're gonna try anthrax on air.
1:25:16
SPEAKER_35: We put a I think I think it was baking soda.
1:25:19
SPEAKER_35: We put a big pile of it out on the sidewalk in front of where the studio was to see if anybody would react walking by and nobody was into our tomfoolery.
1:25:28
SPEAKER_35: And it was a really stupid bit that I can't believe I brought up again.
1:25:31
SPEAKER_35: Um, but if they were putting fentanyl in these, I mean that is incredibly dangerous depending on the concentration, because you take just a little bit of that and you could be done.
1:25:41
SPEAKER_35: I I will say there were no updates on I got that story yesterday afternoon, and there were zero updates across the local media this morning.
1:25:47
SPEAKER_35: I think everybody was flipping out over uh Elon Musk in his uh in his flying car.
1:25:51
SPEAKER_35: But uh, AK, any uh any thoughts on this?
1:25:53
SPEAKER_04: I mean, sometimes my brain goes to like conspiracy theory land, right?
1:25:58
SPEAKER_04: It's like, all right, if uh if you want people to be afraid to vote by mail, you could have it that way.
1:26:05
SPEAKER_04: Or the other end is like you want to encourage basically election officials to you know overreact and basically shut down mail service.
1:26:16
SPEAKER_04: Uh so that's kind of what I think of when I when I hear so close to election, but that's because you know I'm a political hack and uh every time I hear something, I think about it through a political lens of we are only 18 days from a general election.
1:26:30
SPEAKER_04: Everything that happens, I feel like, could be geared or engineered that way.
1:26:35
SPEAKER_04: But overall, whoever did this should be charged with attempted murder.
1:26:39
SPEAKER_04: I mean, if if you're sending packages that have fentanyl, like people die all the time from accidental drug overdoses, even like cops.
1:26:47
SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, it's on something and they start overdosing right there.
1:26:51
SPEAKER_04: So that person, whoever they are, I hope they find them quickly and you know, lock them up.
1:26:57
SPEAKER_11: How are people dealing fentanyl without dying is one of my questions.
1:27:02
SPEAKER_04: Not very well.
1:27:03
SPEAKER_04: Gloves.
1:27:03
SPEAKER_11: Okay, gloves.
1:27:04
SPEAKER_11: So gloves.
1:27:06
SPEAKER_11: So gloves, that you that solves it.
1:27:08
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because then your hand's not touching it.
1:27:10
SPEAKER_04: Um so like you're not really gonna inhale it most of the time.
1:27:14
SPEAKER_04: Uh, and if you are working in a powdery substance that could be inhaled, you would be wearing a mask as well.
1:27:20
SPEAKER_04: But uh usually it's literal skin contact, it can be absorbed through your skin.
1:27:25
SPEAKER_04: That's what makes fentanyl so dangerous versus like other drugs.
1:27:29
SPEAKER_04: There's some skin absorption, but overall that's why they have to shoot it up, right?
1:27:34
SPEAKER_04: But with fentanyl, nah, you can just eat it.
1:27:36
SPEAKER_04: Why would you even want to risk it, man?
1:27:38
SPEAKER_35: I just I mean, I get it.
1:27:39
SPEAKER_35: I get I get it.
1:27:40
SPEAKER_35: I you know, I understand people get addicted.
1:27:42
SPEAKER_35: I uh you know, and Al I've talked about this on the show when I was going through the second open heart surgery, and I was given one extra dose of the opioids, the you know, the hydrocodone or what you know, whatever version of the of the cut between uh the opioid and the Tylenol was uh Vicodin.
1:28:00
SPEAKER_35: Uh and that was one of the most miserable times in my life coming off of that medication, just for taking it for a relatively short period of of time.
1:28:09
SPEAKER_35: Uh I was reminded when when Rush Limbaugh had his addiction problem, and you know, it's not an endorsement and not an excuse, but it is to say it is an incredibly difficult thing to come off of.
1:28:19
SPEAKER_35: But when it comes to something like fentanyl, where it is so dangerous and so deadly, it's like even if you're dealing with addiction, it's like, why would you even want to risk it?
1:28:26
SPEAKER_35: That's just insane to me.
1:28:28
SPEAKER_04: It is insane.
1:28:28
SPEAKER_35: Uh let's go back to the blaster line.
1:28:30
SPEAKER_35: Catherine uh Johnson has opened up a can of worms.
1:28:32
SPEAKER_13: Hey, I want to comment on the card for kids ad.
1:28:36
SPEAKER_13: When I heard it on the radio, I heard it for a long time on the radio and I couldn't stand it.
1:28:42
SPEAKER_13: And I would actually turn off the radio.
1:28:45
SPEAKER_13: But then I actually saw it on TV.
1:28:48
SPEAKER_13: I saw the ad instead of just hearing it, and I loved it.
1:28:53
SPEAKER_13: So it is funny how I started to hate it on the radio, but loved it when I saw it on TV and actually saw the kids.
1:29:01
SPEAKER_13: Um I thought it was a lot of fun.
1:29:03
SPEAKER_13: Anyway, happy Freedom Friday.
1:29:05
SPEAKER_13: Thank you.
1:29:05
SPEAKER_35: Catherine clearly has not seen.
1:29:07
SPEAKER_11: I don't watch a lot of TV.
1:29:08
SPEAKER_11: I only watch streamers.
1:29:09
SPEAKER_11: I don't have like real TV.
1:29:11
SPEAKER_11: What are you all?
1:29:12
SPEAKER_11: You're doing a guitar, they got playing.
1:29:14
SPEAKER_38: There's a bunch of kids with like these pink guitars, and they're like, one, eight, seven, seven cars for kids.
1:29:19
SPEAKER_10: That's nice.
1:29:20
SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
1:29:20
SPEAKER_04: No, it's it's really annoying, actually.
1:29:23
SPEAKER_04: Catherine is like ad-free, everything.
1:29:26
SPEAKER_04: So she never watches any commercials.
1:29:28
SPEAKER_04: What do you do for your spare time?
1:29:31
SPEAKER_11: I do watch some stuff sometimes.
1:29:32
SPEAKER_11: Uh it's just like all on a streamer or stolen from my parents' charter account or whatever it's called now, that we have put into our TV through like an app.
1:29:43
SPEAKER_11: We don't pay for cable.
1:29:44
SPEAKER_11: And so we get these like knockoff commercials essentially.
1:29:47
SPEAKER_04: The AI ones.
1:29:48
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, or like now we watched those are the best, dude.
1:29:52
SPEAKER_04: I watched Western Channel, like uh on my, you know, just normal antenna, digital antenna, and I always have it playing on my extra TV in my garage space.
1:30:02
SPEAKER_04: And all of a sudden later at night, you start seeing all of these AI commercials for like male enhancement and stuff.
1:30:09
SPEAKER_35: So we've been Melinda and I have been exclusively watching Halloween movies for Halloween.
1:30:16
SPEAKER_35: Like there is a list of movies, newer movies we want to watch, but right now we are only watching Halloween movies.
1:30:21
SPEAKER_35: So we've been wiping out on Tubi.
1:30:24
SPEAKER_35: Horrible app, by the way.
1:30:25
SPEAKER_35: It functions so bad.
1:30:26
SPEAKER_35: But there's ads on it because it's free, and they're all for the, you know, lucky crush.
1:30:32
SPEAKER_35: They're all for these online gambling ads gambling games, right?
1:30:36
SPEAKER_35: Yes, okay.
1:30:38
SPEAKER_35: But they're all AI, and it's hysterical because not only can you tell, there's by the way, they're horribly racist.
1:30:46
SPEAKER_35: I'll say this up front.
1:30:48
SPEAKER_35: If you watch these ads, you'll get two black guys outside of like a liquor store, and the dude's like, Yeah, man, I've been hard up on my luck, but now I'm playing Lucky Crush, and oh, look at that, I made$600 for the$50.
1:31:02
SPEAKER_35: It's all stereotypical garbage, all AI, but what's just what's even funnier, they don't fix them.
1:31:09
SPEAKER_35: So the AI, when it does the when it does the voiceover, they're constantly pronouncing things wrong.
1:31:17
SPEAKER_35: All the time.
1:31:18
SPEAKER_35: It's like Castino, go to the casino today.
1:31:21
SPEAKER_35: It's so flipping funny, man.
1:31:24
SPEAKER_04: That's that's literally tubi, man.
1:31:26
SPEAKER_04: Like when they first came out with it, it's like the most ghetto version of a of a streaming service that you can find.
1:31:34
SPEAKER_04: And they are known for notoriously having a very large black population, and they just fall in love.
1:31:41
SPEAKER_04: Like they have tubi dramas, like yeah, they do like original content, right?
1:31:45
SPEAKER_04: Original content and it's like the worst like budget.
1:31:50
SPEAKER_04: Me and Max could go, like, all right, man, here's what we're gonna do, and we just film it with our phone, and we like take zero editing, like you go from scene to scene, and their clothes are different.
1:32:00
SPEAKER_04: Like, it's awful, but for some reason, like in the hood it plays, man.
1:32:03
SPEAKER_16: So how do we how do we submit something to Tubi, like an original concept?
1:32:08
SPEAKER_16: Oh, yeah.
1:32:08
SPEAKER_16: I bet they probably put up anything that you send them.
1:32:11
SPEAKER_16: We should we should take the cast of this show and make a tubi movie.
1:32:14
SPEAKER_16: No, we should put the show on Tubi.
1:32:17
SPEAKER_17: We should do that too.
1:32:18
SPEAKER_16: We should put the show.
1:32:19
SPEAKER_35: I bet we could I bet we could.
1:32:20
SPEAKER_16: That'll invite a brand for content, invite a brand new audience.
1:32:23
SPEAKER_16: I'm sure the blast will be very entertaining from the tubi watchers.
1:32:26
SPEAKER_35: We can maybe get like 1100, you know, watchers, viewers of the of the show.
1:32:32
SPEAKER_35: Let's go here.
1:32:33
SPEAKER_59: I think that you have a new uh segment title for uh this uh segment, and that is Catherine's Leave a Blast if you know what I'm talking about.
1:32:45
SPEAKER_35: Or a bounce.
1:32:46
SPEAKER_35: Or a bounce.
1:32:47
SPEAKER_35: Or you could or you can go and you can leave a you could leave a bounce.
1:32:50
SPEAKER_35: Holy cow.
1:32:50
SPEAKER_35: All right, I don't even know where to.
1:32:51
SPEAKER_35: Oh, wait, one more here.
1:32:52
SPEAKER_35: Here we go.
1:32:53
SPEAKER_24: AK, you seem fully uh vetted in uh handling the fentanyl.
1:32:59
SPEAKER_36: Is anyone shocked by that?
1:33:01
SPEAKER_36: I was I was thinking the same thing and also not surprised in the least bit.
1:33:05
SPEAKER_16: AK AK is like when I was in seventh grade, I ate a fentanyl cookie and I turned out okay.
1:33:12
SPEAKER_04: Oh man.
1:33:13
SPEAKER_04: You know, honestly, like don't do drugs, kids.
1:33:15
SPEAKER_04: Not not to take it like to a dark route, but I have been very interested in how President Trump's administration has been able to handle these fentanyl deaths, and even kind of leading up to it, there's been this whole on the left, like harm reduction model that I've always been 100% against.
1:33:32
SPEAKER_04: And if you actually think back to it, in Minnesota, we have a weird connection to when fentanyl started to kind of be hitting the scene.
1:33:39
SPEAKER_04: Prince died from a fentanyl overdose accidentally.
1:33:43
SPEAKER_04: Like that was Prince, and so people forget that that was like one of the the first kind of major fentanyl deaths that occurred.
1:33:50
SPEAKER_04: And yeah, it's just it's horrifying stuff, man.
1:33:52
SPEAKER_04: And and I've had a lot of arguments and debates with people about you know training children um of how to administer Narcan.
1:34:00
SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, I think this is a weird way to go about it.
1:34:03
SPEAKER_04: I think we should probably solve allowing fentanyl to come into our schools versus saying, hey man, fentanyl's here, we just gotta live with it, and uh, we're gonna like literally teach fifth graders, here's how you administer Narcan to your friends.
1:34:15
SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, that is dystopian.
1:34:17
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it really, really is, but that's kind of uh where we were.
1:34:20
SPEAKER_04: But now fentanyl desks are down like 49% thanks to the Trump administration.
1:34:24
SPEAKER_04: Turns out if you shut down the border and enforce drug enforcement laws, you cut down on fentanyl desks.
1:34:30
SPEAKER_04: Crazy.
1:34:30
SPEAKER_35: Well, I mean, and don't forget, I mean, how dangerous it is.
1:34:32
SPEAKER_35: I mean, look at what happened to George Floyd.
1:34:34
SPEAKER_35: So exactly.
1:34:35
SPEAKER_35: Exactly.
1:34:36
SPEAKER_35: I knew that was gonna shut everybody up.
1:34:38
SPEAKER_35: All right, let's go here.
1:34:39
SPEAKER_35: Uh, new KSTP survey USA poll reveals that President Donald Trump, Governor Dim Walls remain unpopular in Minnesota with both at personal lows.
1:34:48
SPEAKER_35: Attorney General Ellison saw a slight improvement in approval, but still remains below 40 percent.
1:34:54
SPEAKER_35: The Minnesota legislative approval rating uh dropped six points in a month, and voters Yeah.
1:35:03
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, that's me.
1:35:05
SPEAKER_35: Voters are most concerned about inflation, fraud, and uh and health care.
1:35:12
SPEAKER_35: So I won't bore everybody with it.
1:35:13
SPEAKER_16: What is the total legislative approval?
1:35:15
SPEAKER_35: Uh okay, I'll do I'll give you that one.
1:35:16
SPEAKER_35: Uh let's see here.
1:35:17
SPEAKER_35: Minnesota legislature.
1:35:19
SPEAKER_35: Because they're getting all the wonky numbers and all that.
1:35:21
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, that's fine.
1:35:22
SPEAKER_35: So uh let's see.
1:35:22
SPEAKER_35: There could be a record turnover at the state legislature next year, but the body's overall approval has inched upward while lawmakers were out of session.
1:35:30
SPEAKER_35: No more as the collective approval rating drops six points in a month to uh negative 16.
1:35:37
SPEAKER_35: Oh, that's not too bad.
1:35:39
SPEAKER_35: Only 8% of respondents strongly approve of the legislature's job performance, 26 somewhat approve, 31% to somewhat disapprove, and 19% strongly disapprove.
1:35:54
SPEAKER_16: I like how our approval rating went up when we're not actually making laws.
1:36:00
SPEAKER_16: Better that way, right?
1:36:01
SPEAKER_04: People like you better.
1:36:02
SPEAKER_11: Well, it does take things a minute to oh, excuse me.
1:36:05
SPEAKER_11: It does take things a minute to kind of kick in, you know.
1:36:07
SPEAKER_11: Like I feel like right now we're seeing a lot of the policies.
1:36:10
SPEAKER_54: Sorry.
1:36:11
SPEAKER_11: We're like we're seeing a lot of the policies from the DFL trifecta really um come to fruition, like paid family medical leave, things like that.
1:36:18
SPEAKER_11: That, you know, they were put into law in what, 2023, I think it was.
1:36:22
SPEAKER_11: Now they're actually impacting people.
1:36:24
SPEAKER_11: So on the other hand, you could look at it as maybe people are finally seeing the effects of what really happened um and what we were all screaming about about back when back when it was taking place.
1:36:34
SPEAKER_35: Indeed.
1:36:34
SPEAKER_35: I just uh I you know I probably would respond negatively, no offense, Max, to the uh to the legislature as well.
1:36:40
SPEAKER_35: I just can't stand I would too, and I'm in the legislature.
1:36:44
SPEAKER_35: It's kind of like, would you listen to the show, John, if you weren't uh hosting it?
1:36:47
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, probably not.
1:36:48
SPEAKER_35: Um but uh no, I just you know the the part of the thing about the legislature is com it's not changing.
1:36:54
SPEAKER_35: It it's really petty.
1:36:56
SPEAKER_35: I just can't I can't stand how archaic the whole thing operates.
1:37:00
SPEAKER_35: I know that there are rules for decorum and all of that, but the rigmarole that you have to go through when you are when you guys are conducting hearings, when you're going through the process of taking votes, it all just seems so archaic and antiquated.
1:37:13
SPEAKER_35: And I wish there was a better way to speed it up.
1:37:15
SPEAKER_35: I think it every single time I watch anything going on at the legislature.
1:37:19
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, no doubt.
1:37:19
SPEAKER_16: It it can be it can be a slow process and slog.
1:37:23
SPEAKER_16: What I would just say is that the trifecta really kind of showed you when you have a legislature that's working super well, according to one party, that it actually turns out to be a disaster.
1:37:35
SPEAKER_16: They're like ram rotting through the worst policies imaginable.
1:37:39
SPEAKER_16: When you have a split legislature or when you don't have any kind of real lever of power, I appreciate how slog uh how much of a slog it is because it means that bad ideas are not getting through.
1:37:52
SPEAKER_16: And so if I have to live with that, I don't know how long I'll be in the legislature, but if I have to live with basically being part of a body that doesn't do anything, I think that's better than what happened during the trifecta.
1:38:04
SPEAKER_16: I think getting getting nothing done is better than the alternative if it means the DFL have every laundry list item that they could ever imagine.
1:38:13
SPEAKER_35: Apart from Max, who's already in office, and AK who's already holding a position as RNC uh uh committeeman, uh of everybody that comes in here on Freedom Friday, I think Isaac is probably the individual who I think could easily go and run for office.
1:38:26
SPEAKER_35: You have such the demeanor of a I don't mean that as a negative either, but you have the demeanor of a politician, calm, even cool, you know, eat level-headed, you know, if you ever wanted to run for office.
1:38:36
SPEAKER_35: I'll take that.
1:38:37
SPEAKER_35: It's kind of goal of mine.
1:38:38
SPEAKER_35: You'd maybe have my vote.
1:38:39
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, I need Max's uh help here.
1:38:41
SPEAKER_38: But yeah, you want to come join me?
1:38:45
unknown: Yeah.
1:38:46
SPEAKER_11: I'm a little offended, but I understand.
1:38:48
SPEAKER_35: No, I well, Catherine, I I don't know what party you would belong to.
1:38:53
SPEAKER_35: That's my problem.
1:38:53
SPEAKER_35: You would have to be the most independent of independents.
1:38:56
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, nonpartisan.
1:38:57
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, I think.
1:38:58
SPEAKER_35: There's the Minnesota Fascist Party.
1:39:00
SPEAKER_35: Let me put it this way.
1:39:01
SPEAKER_35: No offense, Catherine.
1:39:02
SPEAKER_35: I think you would be like a fascinating candidate to run for office.
1:39:06
SPEAKER_35: You would never win.
1:39:07
SPEAKER_35: You would just be you'd hit something for somebody and then you'd take another take and they'd be like, nope, I'm done.
1:39:14
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, yeah, that's probably true.
1:39:16
SPEAKER_11: I think that's right.
1:39:16
SPEAKER_11: That's why I could never quite be myself, you know.
1:39:18
SPEAKER_11: Like I could modulate and try and, you know, work my way and do a certain I couldn't be myself.
1:39:23
SPEAKER_11: I couldn't do it.
1:39:24
SPEAKER_35: You need to lead an HOA.
1:39:26
SPEAKER_35: That's what you need.
1:39:27
SPEAKER_11: Thank you.
1:39:28
SPEAKER_11: I would love that.
1:39:28
SPEAKER_11: That sounds like my type of power.
1:39:30
SPEAKER_35: Or a dictator of a small country.
1:39:31
SPEAKER_35: You could do that.
1:39:31
SPEAKER_35: I think that's a good thing.
1:39:32
SPEAKER_35: Even better than that.
1:39:33
SPEAKER_35: Right-wing fascism.
1:39:34
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, that would work.
1:39:34
SPEAKER_11: I do have a question related to what we were talking about, Max.
1:39:36
SPEAKER_11: When you get elected, um, do they teach you all those rules?
1:39:40
SPEAKER_11: How do you learn all of the rules?
1:39:42
SPEAKER_11: And then sometimes something goes awry and people are digging through a handbook.
1:39:45
SPEAKER_11: Like, how'd you learn all that?
1:39:46
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, so they have an orientation at the beginning that you kind of like learn some of that stuff, but it's basically, at least for me, it's been through osmosis and watching how other people operate on the floor, and you get this big, this big book, it's the Mason's Rules, you know.
1:40:02
SPEAKER_16: And I have studied that book about like when I what kind of objection I'm supposed to throw out there, but it's a big fat book of rules and decorum and that kind of thing.
1:40:10
SPEAKER_16: But is it called that?
1:40:12
SPEAKER_16: Mason.
1:40:13
SPEAKER_37: I thought of that book.
1:40:14
SPEAKER_37: The big fat book of rules and decorum.
1:40:16
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, basically.
1:40:17
SPEAKER_04: I was gonna say too, though, that a lot of uh people that run for office tend to be taller, and that's like a guaranteed win.
1:40:25
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, come come and talk to me, man.
1:40:27
SPEAKER_04: We'll we'll get you plugged in.
1:40:28
SPEAKER_04: We're laying out, we're laying out.
1:40:29
SPEAKER_35: Devin would be good.
1:40:30
SPEAKER_35: Devin, you would be good.
1:40:31
SPEAKER_35: I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna slight Devin.
1:40:33
SPEAKER_35: Devin would be good too, but I just think you're you're too reserved.
1:40:37
SPEAKER_35: Like it's like you know, I think Isaac kind of gets Isaac gets a little bit more.
1:40:40
SPEAKER_35: Devin is like my perfect producer because he just does the job.
1:40:44
SPEAKER_35: Oh, perfect, and barely talks.
1:40:46
SPEAKER_35: No, no, no, you know.
1:40:47
SPEAKER_17: You're not full, you're not the main guy anymore.
1:40:50
SPEAKER_35: You're over there now.
1:40:53
SPEAKER_35: You know, you're not offended.
1:40:54
SPEAKER_16: Give me a break.
1:40:54
SPEAKER_16: Just thinking about campaign slogans and ideas for Catherine.
1:40:58
SPEAKER_16: It's like Catherine Johnson, 2028.
1:41:00
SPEAKER_16: We need to start killing more people.
1:41:05
SPEAKER_11: That's I like that by firing squad.
1:41:09
SPEAKER_11: None of this botched nonsense.
1:41:11
SPEAKER_11: Like, you know, let's be clear.
1:41:12
SPEAKER_11: None of the botched weird stuff.
1:41:14
SPEAKER_11: Wow.
1:41:14
SPEAKER_11: Firing squad.
1:41:15
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, hence why you never would get elected.
1:41:18
SPEAKER_35: At least not currently.
1:41:19
SPEAKER_35: The way things are going, if you know things change and we're looking more like of an idiocracy situation, you could absolutely get into office, but not not right at the moment.
1:41:27
SPEAKER_04: No, I mean I might change the I can think so now of some legislative districts that Catherine would probably get 90% of the vote.
1:41:34
SPEAKER_04: So you know, don't don't don't listen to John.
1:41:36
SPEAKER_04: I mean, I I got some great districts uh lined up too.
1:41:39
SPEAKER_35: Complete sidebar, and I I I what happened to Lee Finky?
1:41:44
SPEAKER_04: Where did he go?
1:41:45
SPEAKER_35: Oh no, he's he's I haven't seen or heard from him in forever.
1:41:49
SPEAKER_35: Just had a lot of people.
1:41:49
SPEAKER_04: I probably told him to like stop talking because it's not helping because they're trying to win like independence and show like, hey, we're not uh associated with a bunch of radicals.
1:41:57
SPEAKER_35: They should say it to Peggy Flanagan, too.
1:41:59
SPEAKER_35: He should probably stop talking.
1:42:01
SPEAKER_35: Let's go here.
1:42:03
SPEAKER_12: Hey, John Blind Guy here from my stante.
1:42:06
SPEAKER_12: What up?
1:42:07
SPEAKER_12: Uh there you go.
1:42:08
SPEAKER_12: You've got your answer.
1:42:10
SPEAKER_12: The article you were reading said the legislative approval rating inched up when they were on break.
1:42:17
SPEAKER_12: So there's our answer.
1:42:18
SPEAKER_12: Just send them home and we'll call them in if there's something we need them to do.
1:42:24
SPEAKER_35: Well, there you go.
1:42:25
SPEAKER_35: Not a bad idea.
1:42:26
SPEAKER_35: Yep.
1:42:27
SPEAKER_35: All right.
1:42:28
SPEAKER_35: So let's get to the uh big story because we haven't uh talked about it much today, and we spent a lot of the week talking about it.
1:42:34
SPEAKER_35: We will get to this via Joe Rogan, who recently on his podcast was talking about the investigation into Ilhan Omar and had this to say on his show.
1:42:43
SPEAKER_07: All the corruption with Congress, like the Ilhan Omar.
1:42:46
SPEAKER_07: I'm sure you're aware of that.
1:42:47
SPEAKER_07: I Isn't that funny?
1:42:49
SPEAKER_07: She thought she was worth 30 million.
1:42:50
SPEAKER_07: Whoopsies.
1:42:51
SPEAKER_07: She's only worth 100,000.
1:42:52
SPEAKER_07: Nothing to see here.
1:42:53
SPEAKER_07: What?
1:42:54
SPEAKER_07: You didn't see that?
1:42:54
SPEAKER_07: Not oh my god.
1:42:56
SPEAKER_07: I didn't follow that.
1:42:57
SPEAKER_07: I just knew about the brother stuff.
1:42:58
SPEAKER_07: So the brother stuff is real too.
1:43:00
SPEAKER_07: But the other thing is that, well, the brother controversy, I should say, is real.
1:43:04
SPEAKER_07: I don't know whether or not she actually married her brother.
1:43:06
SPEAKER_07: But the that is a real story.
1:43:08
SPEAKER_07: But wait, she was listed as$30 million, and because of scrutiny, she now amended that.
1:43:16
SPEAKER_07: Not a millionaire, she said.
1:43:18
SPEAKER_07: Amends disclosure blaming initial$30 million filing error on accountants mistake.
1:43:23
SPEAKER_07: You know how the accountants are.
1:43:24
SPEAKER_07: You know how you sometimes they're really bad with that.
1:43:26
SPEAKER_07: They always add money.
1:43:28
SPEAKER_07: Like she said she's worth between$18 and uh$95,000, but it was listed that she was worth$30 million.
1:43:38
SPEAKER_07: Wait, but how could she only be worth$18,000?
1:43:40
SPEAKER_07: She's still on.
1:43:41
SPEAKER_07: It doesn't make any sense.
1:43:42
SPEAKER_07: She's only$200,000 in the middle of the year.
1:43:53
SPEAKER_07: The valuation for Manette's two companies is now listed as none, and an income range of between$102,502 and$1,000 from the two companies appears on the forum.
1:44:06
SPEAKER_07: So this is also partly because investigative journalists went looking for the office where he supposedly has his business, and it was like a wee work, and there's like no one there.
1:44:17
SPEAKER_07: I mean, this is where I think that might have been one of those uh James O'Keeffe things.
1:44:25
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
1:44:26
SPEAKER_07: I think he might have looked into that.
1:44:27
SPEAKER_35: We've been in U.S.
1:44:28
SPEAKER_35: attorney Janine uh Pierrot investigating financial disclosures made by Ilhan Omar, including significant revisions, as we were just hearing from Joe Rogan.
1:44:37
SPEAKER_35: I love it when these stuff, these stories go national.
1:44:39
SPEAKER_35: Uh, to the value of the businesses owned by her husband, Tim Minette, who again left his wife and children after making a shocking declaration of love to uh Ilhan Omar.
1:44:49
SPEAKER_35: Uh the investigation is ongoing, uh, despite the Office of Congressional Conduct dismissing a related investigation.
1:44:56
SPEAKER_35: Pierrot also commented on a recent search of Omar's home, suggesting it may be related to immigration issues.
1:45:02
SPEAKER_35: Now, she is supposed to be appearing on a podcast with a podcast with Hassan Piker.
1:45:06
SPEAKER_35: We'll talk about that in just a moment uh here on the show.
1:45:09
SPEAKER_35: But she still has been missing since apparently she was spotted uh driving away in her fancy uh schmancy uh automobile.
1:45:16
SPEAKER_35: Might have been a new uh Tesla Roadster.
1:45:18
SPEAKER_35: I don't know.
1:45:19
SPEAKER_35: She wasn't flying away, though.
1:45:20
SPEAKER_35: Uh she hasn't been seen or heard from since then, even though she said I will not be uh silenced.
1:45:24
SPEAKER_35: So uh as we get into further uh details, let's just go around the room and get everybody's uh thoughts.
1:45:30
SPEAKER_35: We'll start with uh Catherine Johnson.
1:45:32
SPEAKER_35: Uh so your your initial thoughts on the on where we are with the Ilhan Omar uh investigation.
1:45:38
SPEAKER_11: Wow, I have so many thoughts.
1:45:39
SPEAKER_11: Um I it that it I've I'm just excited to see what it is they focused on.
1:45:44
SPEAKER_11: I think that there are a lot of different um things.
1:45:46
SPEAKER_11: We went over this on the American Experiment podcast this week with Bill Glon.
1:45:49
SPEAKER_11: There's a lot of different like threads they could pull on if they wanted to.
1:45:52
SPEAKER_11: She's got a number of scandals, I don't know, irons in the fire, scandals in the fire.
1:45:57
SPEAKER_11: Um, and it could go any which way.
1:45:59
SPEAKER_11: I think it's unlikely to be the brother thing because I don't think that impacted her immigration.
1:46:04
SPEAKER_11: But there are a lot of immigration issues that, you know, her age, her father's involvement with the regime in Somalia, things like that.
1:46:12
SPEAKER_11: And then, of course, this this money one, the disclosures, which has never made any sense.
1:46:16
SPEAKER_11: In fact, I remember when she did this, she posted a video on her social medias of her like with the disclosure in the background, trying to point out like this is how stupid people are.
1:46:25
SPEAKER_11: It's obvious, but her shoulder was covering like the key, the key part.
1:46:29
SPEAKER_11: And so I don't know.
1:46:30
SPEAKER_11: I I'm interested to see where this ends up because I think it could be any uh any number of these things, but it's about frickin' time that someone actually cares about it.
1:46:39
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:46:40
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, uh kind of like what Catherine said, it's hilarious that they just have a ton of options to choose from here.
1:46:46
SPEAKER_38: I mean it's like pick your own pick your own adventure for the investigators of what you want to go after, but um it might even it might even be something we haven't even been made aware of yet.
1:46:55
SPEAKER_35: I mean, it's all just pure speculation at this point.
1:46:57
SPEAKER_38: I mean, it'll be kind of fun to guess.
1:46:59
SPEAKER_38: I'm sure there's somewhere you can bet on it, on what the investigation's about.
1:47:02
SPEAKER_38: Ooh, Calci.
1:47:02
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, what's going on with Calci right?
1:47:04
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:47:04
SPEAKER_04: There's gotta be.
1:47:05
SPEAKER_04: What is the indictment going to be?
1:47:08
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think much like you both said, there's so many scandals to choose from because Ilhan Omar is just a corrupt person.
1:47:18
SPEAKER_04: She is propped up by a corrupt regime and machine.
1:47:22
SPEAKER_04: The Minnesota DFL, in my opinion, is one of the most corrupt political apparatuses in the entire country.
1:47:30
SPEAKER_04: And I think that that is very evident and clear by the number of fraud cases that have come out of Minnesota.
1:47:37
SPEAKER_04: That was not, again, something that just accidentally happened.
1:47:41
SPEAKER_04: There was infrastructure and institutions created by DFL policy.
1:47:45
SPEAKER_04: So, yeah, it's not surprising to me.
1:47:47
SPEAKER_04: It's just the question has always been do we have people that are in power that have the political will to actually go and enforce the law?
1:47:56
SPEAKER_04: At the end of the day, politics is all about what you perceive to be true.
1:48:01
SPEAKER_04: So the optics, and I've already seen some people on the right in Minnesota saying, like, oh, well, there goes the election in Minnesota because we're going after Ilhan.
1:48:10
SPEAKER_04: And as great as it is to be like, we want her to be denaturalized and deported, that's gonna play really bad in the suburbs because it's gonna seem it's like anti-Somali, anti-black, anti-Islamic, whatever it might be.
1:48:23
SPEAKER_04: But for me, I've always said the rule of law is all that matters.
1:48:26
SPEAKER_04: Enforce the rule of law.
1:48:28
SPEAKER_04: And if you need to have a better spin machine to sell to the people why you're enforcing the law, then do that, I guess.
1:48:34
SPEAKER_04: But I I just think it's time for her to get her come up ins.
1:48:38
SPEAKER_16: And part of that, part of that spin machine, if you will, and I'm like listening to what everybody's perspective was here, and I agree with most of it, but because there are so many threads to pull on with Ilhan Omar, you have to be clear and concise, and it needs to look objective what you're doing, right?
1:49:00
SPEAKER_16: I Ilhan Omar's got so many things, obviously, that you can go after her for or talk about.
1:49:06
SPEAKER_16: Up to this point, it's been a lot of bluster, in my opinion.
1:49:10
SPEAKER_16: It's been a lot of talking about just how much we dislike Ilhan Omar for XYZ reason, and all those reasons are justifiable.
1:49:18
SPEAKER_16: But if you are prosecuting this case and you're selling this idea to the American people as we are enforcing the rule of law objectively, you have to be clear and concise about what specifically you're going after.
1:49:31
SPEAKER_16: Because I have seen now the brother thing, I've seen financial and money laundering stuff, I've seen that it was that she lied on her birth certificate by one year.
1:49:43
SPEAKER_16: You are going to have to and what what concerns me is that this administration, when we've gone down roads like this before, it's been really helter skelter because there's been a lot of moving pieces.
1:49:54
SPEAKER_16: We don't exactly know what who we're tariffing or why we're going after Iran or this.
1:50:00
SPEAKER_16: That or the other thing, it's been a lot of conflicting messages about this stuff.
1:50:04
SPEAKER_16: But you can you can convince the American people if this is a concise and accurate prosecution of the law.
1:50:13
SPEAKER_16: And that's what I hope they do.
1:50:15
SPEAKER_16: I hope it's not just a bunch of loose ends that we're just saying at the end of the day, we just don't like Ilhan Omar.
1:50:22
SPEAKER_16: I am hoping that there is a golden thing that we grab onto that.
1:50:27
SPEAKER_16: A golden job.
1:50:28
SPEAKER_35: Well, and I think, and I listen, I'm my impression is that there is.
1:50:31
SPEAKER_35: And it really goes, it all hinges on this DC judge that signed off that signed off on this.
1:50:37
SPEAKER_35: And that seems to be the one consistent factor that everybody, regardless of their opinion of the investigation, has keyed in on.
1:50:45
SPEAKER_35: And that is I think even regardless of the fact that this individual donated to Hillary Clinton, you know, was, you know, there under Obama as well, it's relevant, but he still is a judge, and judges, you know, shouldn't use their positions behind the bench for activism.
1:51:01
SPEAKER_35: But the fact that this judge signed off on allowing this to take place, and the one thing that we noted yesterday that I thought was so revealing was that the judge actually limited the scope of what the federal government was asking for in terms of the search warrant, but they still ended up allowing the seizure of passports, laptops, and cell phones.
1:51:23
SPEAKER_35: So they would have had to, the federal government, HSI, DOJ had to go and show enough probable cause to get him to sign off on it.
1:51:31
SPEAKER_35: So whatever it is, it is going to be significant.
1:51:34
SPEAKER_35: And I'm very much convinced that what we're going to find out once we see the indictment and what is actually in the affidavit and what is being looked at, Ilhan Omar's not nearly as popular as what everybody, you know, had had kind of thought.
1:51:46
SPEAKER_35: And not that everybody was saying, oh, she's so popular, but she's always been propped up as kind of this symbol on the left, and certainly with the squad and the influence it's had on the party in and of itself.
1:51:57
SPEAKER_35: But I genuinely do not believe that she's even very well liked within Democrat circles either.
1:52:03
SPEAKER_35: It reminds me a lot of that candidate that lost the primary in Wisconsin who had her 15 minutes of fame for a couple of weeks, and everybody was focused on her.
1:52:11
SPEAKER_35: And I'm sitting back going, She's not gonna, she's she's not gonna win the primary.
1:52:14
SPEAKER_35: It's not gonna happen.
1:52:15
SPEAKER_35: But she was propped up like she was a leftist darling, and Ilhan Omar has for a long, long time.
1:52:20
SPEAKER_35: And I think we're gonna find out that no, she's not nearly as popular as what everybody thought.
1:52:25
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, I saw your prediction tweet the other day, John.
1:52:27
SPEAKER_38: Um I think it was from yesterday, of like how when this all goes down with Ilhan, she's gonna, you know, get indicted or whatever, and the Democratic Party's basically gonna turn on her and say, Oh, she was never that popular.
1:52:36
SPEAKER_38: She was never that see, look at how this what did you say?
1:52:39
SPEAKER_35: This is a Democrat judge signed off on I'll try to take credit for it.
1:52:45
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, yeah.
1:52:45
SPEAKER_38: Exactly.
1:52:46
SPEAKER_38: I thought that was really interesting how yeah, I I agree.
1:52:48
SPEAKER_38: I think once this all goes down, it's all gonna be uh I mean, everyone's gonna kind of jump ship on the Ilhan.
1:52:54
SPEAKER_35: Well, I had a comment that rolled in, and I'll let you guys uh I'll get you guys add to this.
1:52:57
SPEAKER_35: But uh a woman who is uh much smarter than I am wrote, Um, I believe it is so much worse uh with Ilhan Omar because she has been silent.
1:53:06
SPEAKER_35: Now she's supposed to be with the Sasan Piker podcast coming up at the end of the month, we'll talk about.
1:53:11
SPEAKER_35: But I do find it very, very interesting, especially now as we head into Friday.
1:53:15
SPEAKER_35: That raid took place on Monday.
1:53:17
SPEAKER_35: The last anybody said they saw of her was leaving the house before the raid took place, and she has not been seen or heard from since.
1:53:23
SPEAKER_35: The only connection has been Tim Minette walking the dog.
1:53:26
SPEAKER_35: Everybody seems shocked that she had a dog.
1:53:28
SPEAKER_35: I want to know the dog's name.
1:53:30
SPEAKER_35: Can you imagine being Ilhan Omar's dog?
1:53:32
SPEAKER_35: Oh my gosh, that must be just a horrible existence.
1:53:35
SPEAKER_35: Absolutely horrible.
1:53:36
SPEAKER_35: I can't imagine her being like a good dog owner.
1:53:40
SPEAKER_35: Can you imagine her giving proper attention to a pet?
1:53:43
SPEAKER_04: No, I mean, listen, for people that don't know, like Islam looks very negatively upon dogs.
1:53:50
SPEAKER_04: Uh, it's been a problem in St.
1:53:51
SPEAKER_04: Cloud schools and in the metro area as well, where there are, you know, young Somali children and teenagers that like um abuse teachers and subs like service dogs.
1:54:03
SPEAKER_04: Uh, it's been quite an issue, actually.
1:54:05
SPEAKER_04: And so that's surprising.
1:54:06
SPEAKER_04: I I want to go back to that point, though, raised by the blaster, that ultimately, when you look at all of the hoops that had to be jumped through in order to get a judge to sign off on this on a sitting member of Congress, you have to have a lot of really compelling evidence.
1:54:24
SPEAKER_04: And yeah, when it comes to this podcast appearance, it's probably gonna be from some undisclosed location via stream.
1:54:30
SPEAKER_04: I doubt it's gonna be in person.
1:54:32
SPEAKER_04: And the fact that Ilhan hasn't been saying anything is probably because her lawyers are like, shut up.
1:54:37
SPEAKER_04: We saw what the actual indictment or even the the I can't remember what the legal term is, but the actual cause to go in and do the raid.
1:54:46
SPEAKER_04: Like, do not talk about this because this is looking really, really that's a really good point.
1:54:51
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, she probably has been instructed to not speak.
1:54:54
SPEAKER_35: Yep.
1:54:54
SPEAKER_35: I will give I will say this.
1:54:56
SPEAKER_35: So there's uh I'm looking at the story here from Alpha News.
1:54:59
SPEAKER_35: DFL uh state senator Omar.
1:55:01
SPEAKER_35: Uh do we say fate or fate or fate?
1:55:04
SPEAKER_35: It's fate.
1:55:06
SPEAKER_35: Do we care?
1:55:07
SPEAKER_35: No, we don't.
1:55:07
SPEAKER_35: Nope.
1:55:08
SPEAKER_35: Catherine, how do you say it?
1:55:09
SPEAKER_11: Fatah?
1:55:10
SPEAKER_11: Fate?
1:55:12
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
1:55:12
SPEAKER_35: Okay, so we don't.
1:55:13
SPEAKER_35: Fate.
1:55:13
SPEAKER_35: Fate.
1:55:14
SPEAKER_35: Fate, for sure.
1:55:14
SPEAKER_35: Batty.
1:55:15
SPEAKER_35: Omar Fatah.
1:55:15
SPEAKER_35: Fate.
1:55:16
SPEAKER_35: Fate.
1:55:16
SPEAKER_35: Omar Fate.
1:55:17
SPEAKER_35: Uh announced a conversation series featuring Hassan Piker and Ilhan Omar.
1:55:22
SPEAKER_35: I will give credit where credit is due.
1:55:24
SPEAKER_35: This was a bold move by Omar Fate.
1:55:27
SPEAKER_35: You guys say the title?
1:55:28
SPEAKER_35: It's a great title.
1:55:29
SPEAKER_35: It's a great title.
1:55:31
SPEAKER_04: I was like, that's kind of basic.
1:55:32
SPEAKER_04: It's a great time.
1:55:34
SPEAKER_35: It's well done.
1:55:34
SPEAKER_35: The event title is I'm the host now.
1:55:39
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, I'm the captain now.
1:55:40
SPEAKER_35: I'm the host now.
1:55:41
SPEAKER_35: I'm the captain now.
1:55:43
SPEAKER_35: Dude, I'll give credit where credit's due.
1:55:44
SPEAKER_35: That's funny.
1:55:45
SPEAKER_35: That's how you handle that.
1:55:46
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, there's some power in self-deprecation.
1:55:47
SPEAKER_35: Absolutely.
1:55:48
SPEAKER_35: Always has been.
1:55:49
SPEAKER_35: Thank you very much.
1:55:50
SPEAKER_35: The show exists because of that.
1:55:52
SPEAKER_35: It's supposed to take place on October 26th in Minneapolis.
1:55:54
SPEAKER_35: It will focus on Minneapolis politics in the community.
1:55:57
SPEAKER_35: The announcement has sparked controversy with the Minnesota Republican Party, calling on Senator Amy Klobichar to rescind her endos endorsement of Omar due to Pikers' past comments.
1:56:08
SPEAKER_35: Listen, I understand the desire to go and do that.
1:56:11
SPEAKER_35: It doesn't matter.
1:56:12
SPEAKER_35: On the left, they do not, they do not care.
1:56:14
SPEAKER_35: They don't care about Hassan Piker.
1:56:16
SPEAKER_35: They don't care about what he says.
1:56:25
SPEAKER_35: If, you know, having Klobishar attached to Hassan Piker loosely, but I just don't think that those on the left really care uh all that much.
1:56:33
SPEAKER_35: I don't think that Ilhan Omar makes it to October 26th.
1:56:36
SPEAKER_35: I think that indictment comes before then.
1:56:38
SPEAKER_35: I'm convinced that the indictment comes before election day.
1:56:41
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she might be streaming from a jail cell, which that'd be awesome.
1:56:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, to that point though, about do independents care?
1:56:48
SPEAKER_04: I think they do.
1:56:49
SPEAKER_04: Most independents probably don't even know who Hassan Piker is.
1:56:51
SPEAKER_04: Like, like for being super, super candid, they probably recognize that, oh, he's like a you know, Gen Z like YouTuber or something like that, or Twitch streamer or something.
1:57:02
SPEAKER_04: Um, but if you can attach that to Amy Klobuchar and her endorsement, that's like, I don't know, political mana.
1:57:10
SPEAKER_04: If if you're on the right, you're like, oh, please, like let Hassan Piker come here and then um make him have to either say something positive about Klobuchar, which would be great because then you can make that a clip, and then Klobuchar has to be in the position that she either disavows Hassan Piker or to something to that effect.
1:57:28
SPEAKER_04: But it's it's hard.
1:57:30
SPEAKER_04: I mean, we're grasping at every possible straw we can with 18 days until the general election.
1:57:35
SPEAKER_04: But yeah, I mean, Hassan Piker coming to Minnesota, please, yes, bring him here, uh, make him talk positively about Amy Klobuchar and tell people to get out to vote so we can make clips and then show when he says, Yeah, America deserved 9-11.
1:57:47
SPEAKER_04: Like, that's that's the great part about this.
1:57:50
SPEAKER_04: And they've been playing this in Michigan, right?
1:57:52
SPEAKER_04: With uh Abdul El-Syed, is like he was supported by Hassan Piker, and they've made probably millions and millions of dollars of ad buys showing that Hassan Piker supports Abdul El-Syed because Hassan Piker's literally the guy that said that America deserved 9-11.
1:58:08
SPEAKER_11: I it's the problem is people are so resistant to the truth.
1:58:11
SPEAKER_11: Like, I think about this in the the th Omar, um, Ilhan Omar scandal, and how long ago we knew that she very much, very likely married her brother.
1:58:21
SPEAKER_11: I mean, think of when we got that evidence.
1:58:23
SPEAKER_11: It was uh people in Minnesota started writing about this in 2015 or 16, and we have known this, so we've known this for a decade, okay?
1:58:31
SPEAKER_11: That the evidence was all there that really points to her having married her brother.
1:58:36
SPEAKER_11: And yet on the left, they were able to form a whole narrative around that.
1:58:40
SPEAKER_11: That was that's racist, that is fake news, that is this.
1:58:43
SPEAKER_11: And I think I see the same thing with the, you know, anti-9-11 stuff.
1:58:47
SPEAKER_11: Like, oh, you're just being Islamophobic by saying that they said something about 9-11.
1:58:52
SPEAKER_11: No, we have the clips.
1:58:53
SPEAKER_11: Ilwan said stuff about 9-11, so did Hassan Piker.
1:58:55
SPEAKER_11: But people are resistant to the truth, especially in Minnesota when we have the media landscape that we do and they constantly are spinning narratives for people on the left.
1:59:03
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, I'm interested to see uh Amy's kind of strategy here with uh Hassan coming to town because Amy doesn't seem too popular with the Hassan crowd in general.
1:59:12
SPEAKER_38: And so if she's looking at the polls, I believe or in her internals or the polls, like this KSD TP poll that you brought up earlier, John, like she's not touching 50%, which is kind of the magic number.
1:59:23
SPEAKER_38: So I wonder if she's kind of thinking, like, oh, I kind of do have to embrace this kind of crowd at risk of losing some of the moderates.
1:59:29
SPEAKER_38: I'm yeah, it's kind of a catch-22 here that she's gonna have to try and navigate.
1:59:33
SPEAKER_35: Well, and I'm curious, like I said, I think the indictment comes down before election day.
1:59:38
SPEAKER_35: And to your point, uh, Isaac, I'm curious how Amy Clobichard responds, you know, when the indictment does come down.
1:59:45
SPEAKER_35: Uh and like I said, I don't think she makes it to this date.
1:59:47
SPEAKER_35: And every day that goes by that she's not seen in public, especially now, AK, that you made that point, you're right.
1:59:54
SPEAKER_35: She probably has been told you just stay out of the media and don't say anything to everybody, because more than likely her lawyers know exactly what was in, you know, that that affidavit to to issue that uh that search warrant.
2:00:06
SPEAKER_11: I was glad to see that it looked like the baddies for Fate, like they rebranded.
2:00:11
SPEAKER_11: Did you notice they're baddies for progress, which is fun?
2:00:14
SPEAKER_11: I'm glad the baddies are still alive and well.
2:00:17
SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
2:00:18
SPEAKER_04: Well, the I just real quick, the irony of women wearing hijabs, calling themselves baddies, is just it's comedic levels, man.
2:00:26
SPEAKER_04: It's just the it's just funny.
2:00:28
SPEAKER_04: You can't be a baddie if you're covering your hair.
2:00:30
SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry, you just can't.
2:00:31
SPEAKER_04: And like it's quite literally anti-Islam.
2:00:34
SPEAKER_04: The reason that women wear and wrap their hair is they're actually not to show like any type of, I guess, beauty or sexuality outside of their household to other males.
2:00:44
SPEAKER_04: So it's quite contradictory to be a baddie for anything if you are a Muslim woman who follows Islam.
2:00:51
SPEAKER_04: It's just absurd.
2:00:51
SPEAKER_11: Do you feel like they're appropriating your culture a little bit with the use of baddie?
2:00:54
SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, they're Muslims, I'm not, but I I will just say that like ultimately being a baddie and then trying to like, you know, be like sex positive and being a Muslim woman has all that's what's always rubbed me about Ilhan, right?
2:01:08
SPEAKER_04: Like, how can she wear a hijab, but then she has her nose pierced and all these other things that are clearly showing, you know, beauty or whatever, some standard.
2:01:18
SPEAKER_04: They're not even supposed to wear makeup.
2:01:20
SPEAKER_04: Like, that's the whole point is like you're supposed to make yourself look very plain outside of your household so other males are not tempted by you.
2:01:27
SPEAKER_04: And if you don't like that, fine.
2:01:28
SPEAKER_04: Don't be a Muslim.
2:01:29
SPEAKER_04: You can be a Christian and rock a nose ring and wear makeup and look beautiful.
2:01:33
SPEAKER_04: Uh, but Islam doesn't really approve of that.
2:01:35
SPEAKER_04: That's just it's all a grift.
2:01:57
SPEAKER_54: Oh, hell yeah.
2:01:59
SPEAKER_24: Good morning, guys.
2:02:01
SPEAKER_24: Happy Friday.
2:02:02
SPEAKER_24: As far as Almore goes, if she is charged, an indictment comes down before the election.
2:02:07
SPEAKER_24: She would literally run and be supported from her jail cell.
2:02:12
SPEAKER_24: We've already learned that from a state representative that committed burglaries and was indicted or charged criminally too.
2:02:20
SPEAKER_24: And she didn't leave until she was forced out.
2:02:23
SPEAKER_35: No, again, Rich, I disagree.
2:02:25
SPEAKER_35: I think she's I think that I know in her district she's popular, I get it, but I think that when the indictment comes down, people will very easily pitch off the Ilhan Omar bandwagon.
2:02:35
SPEAKER_35: I don't know if it's enough to usher in uh a John Nagel, who we had on the show earlier this week.
2:02:39
SPEAKER_35: And uh, that was a really fantastic interview, by the way, with uh with him, for those that haven't uh familiarized yourself with him running uh against Ilhan Omar in that district.
2:02:47
SPEAKER_35: But I just going back to what I said before, I don't she's not popular.
2:02:50
SPEAKER_35: People are looking for an excuse.
2:02:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, she's gone, she's toast.
2:02:53
SPEAKER_04: Uh like in Minnesota, they use her as a token.
2:02:56
SPEAKER_04: And again, it helps with the Somali vote.
2:02:59
SPEAKER_04: And if you're a DFL and you're kind of calculating how do we keep this percentage when the rest of the outstate Minnesota is going so red, that's how you do it.
2:03:07
SPEAKER_04: So at the end of the day, nationally, no, they don't want any of the squad members to be quite candidly within the Democrat apparatus.
2:03:15
SPEAKER_04: They just have found that they have to associate themselves with the DSA folks.
2:03:19
SPEAKER_04: But there's been a civil war going on in the Democrat National Party, and they're hoping that if they can win in certain areas, that they'll kind of win with their their non-DSA folks.
2:03:30
SPEAKER_04: But the problem is that they've nominated a bunch of DSA folks all over the country, so I think it gives them power if they win.
2:03:35
SPEAKER_04: So it's a two-edged sword, but yeah, they'll a hundred percent completely divorce themselves from Ilan Omar if there are serious indictment charges that come out.
2:03:45
SPEAKER_30: I hope you guys are correct.
2:03:46
SPEAKER_30: I'm not holding my breath because I've seen this movie before where nothing ever happens to these people.
2:03:52
SPEAKER_30: But if it could happen to someone, please.
2:03:54
SPEAKER_30: Ilan Omar is the most condescending, despicable, pompous person I've ever seen.
2:04:02
SPEAKER_30: And she's pompous while she's trying to destroy our culture and way of life.
2:04:07
SPEAKER_30: It is disgusting.
2:04:09
SPEAKER_30: She is a bad, bad person.
2:04:12
SPEAKER_30: And I hope I hope you're right.
2:04:14
SPEAKER_35: And I just want to give a uh hat tip to that uh friend of the show who left that blast at 651-964-0294 uh for using appropriate language, because there are several people that have left uh some blasts that uh people are spicy today.
2:04:26
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, uh, and you know they were like, oh, I guess you can't say that.
2:04:29
SPEAKER_35: You may have to edit that.
2:04:30
SPEAKER_35: It's like, yeah, I'm not even gonna try or risk it.
2:04:34
SPEAKER_35: Like the word, like the word you just never, ever say, especially in the presence of a woman.
2:04:41
SPEAKER_35: It never, it's like the worst word next Tuesday ever.
2:04:46
SPEAKER_62: Ever.
2:04:47
SPEAKER_62: Hey John, one thing I think we can be thankful for as far as Kamala Harris picking Tim Walls is that it shined a national light on Minnesota and exposed him and Omar.
2:05:01
SPEAKER_62: It really did.
2:05:02
SPEAKER_62: It really did.
2:05:03
SPEAKER_62: Yes.
2:05:03
SPEAKER_62: Granite Falls.
2:05:04
SPEAKER_35: We're gonna thank uh Kamala Harris for anything.
2:05:06
SPEAKER_35: Thank you for giving us that gift.
2:05:07
SPEAKER_16: I will that you know, there might not be a more consequential thing for our state than and maybe the country than her picking Tim Walls.
2:05:15
SPEAKER_35: That was probably one of the moments where I was most excited was that morning when we saw on the screen in the studio of the vehicles arriving at Governor Dib Walls' house, and finally we were like they did it, didn't they?
2:05:29
SPEAKER_35: She picked him, did and I was so excited.
2:05:31
SPEAKER_35: That was that was I can't believe it.
2:05:33
SPEAKER_35: I can't believe she did it.
2:05:34
SPEAKER_35: So I still can't, I still, when I think about it to this day, it still is just the worst decision you could possibly make.
2:05:40
SPEAKER_16: If you're a Democrat and want more Democrats to get elected, it's like ever since then, Minnesota has become basically the model of governmental failure.
2:05:51
SPEAKER_16: And true we are basically the punching bag, rightfully so, for the rest of the country to be like, hey, things are pretty bad, but we're not Tim Walls' Minnesota.
2:06:02
SPEAKER_35: So let's let's let's put a bow on this conversation and move on to some other items on a Freedom Friday.
2:06:09
SPEAKER_35: This would be the biggest prosecution of the Trump administration, right?
2:06:15
SPEAKER_35: So you have Adam Schiff, you know, you're looking at Swalwell, um, I think Menendez was outside the window.
2:06:20
SPEAKER_35: I think that goes back to Biden to Biden, right?
2:06:23
SPEAKER_35: Um the oh uh Bolton.
2:06:24
SPEAKER_35: You have Tom Bolton, he's been John Bolton.
2:06:27
SPEAKER_35: I got him confused with Michael Bolton.
2:06:29
SPEAKER_35: Um but this would be the like this would be uh, and I said it from the start, and I know it's kind of faded a little bit in the past 24 hours because it hasn't been new news.
2:06:38
SPEAKER_35: But if an indictment does come down, uh you know, I don't think people quite realize how big a it's a big deal, don't misunderstand, but it will be immensely a much, much larger issue once the indictment rolls down.
2:06:49
SPEAKER_35: It would be the biggest one of the Trump administration, right?
2:06:51
SPEAKER_35: I would think.
2:06:52
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it has to be.
2:06:53
SPEAKER_11: Absolutely.
2:06:54
SPEAKER_11: It's interesting because I think this all comes back to something we talk about a lot, which is like the Minnesota media and not doing their job.
2:07:02
SPEAKER_11: Because yeah, she picked Tim Walls, and I think was immediately surprised by how much she didn't know because people in Minnesota haven't been talking about it because our media sucks.
2:07:12
SPEAKER_11: And so it's like this keeps happening where national organizations keep picking up on these stories that our local media won't and end up getting these great scoops.
2:07:20
SPEAKER_11: Look at Keith Ellison and taking all of that lobbyist money recently.
2:07:24
SPEAKER_11: CNN swooped in and got that.
2:07:26
SPEAKER_11: None of our local media has even touched it to this second.
2:07:29
SPEAKER_11: He's taking all of this lobbyist money and going on fancy vacations and no one cares.
2:07:34
SPEAKER_11: Welcome to Minnesota.
2:07:35
SPEAKER_35: So it was hysterical because the Star Tribune yesterday morning into most of the day had no coverage on Ilhan Omar, which I thought was was stunning considering that the cell phone uh aspect and it being seized had become, you know, national news, as it should.
2:07:51
SPEAKER_35: I, you know, that's that's that's pretty, you know, that's pretty egregious for them.
2:07:55
SPEAKER_35: Or not egregious is the right word, but that's a pretty big deal for them to grab it.
2:07:58
SPEAKER_35: But today they have an article, and it basically is uh everything that you need to know about the Ilhan Omar investigation.
2:08:03
SPEAKER_35: It's like, thank you, Minnesota Star Tribune, because you're the end all be all of authority now to let us all know of what exactly is going on.
2:08:10
SPEAKER_35: And if you get into the piece, clearly uh working and reading in between the lines, this is all basically one big conservative conspiracy.
2:08:18
SPEAKER_35: Right.
2:08:18
SPEAKER_16: So right, no big deal.
2:08:20
SPEAKER_16: This is how the Trump administration is overreaching.
2:08:23
SPEAKER_16: I haven't even read this article, but I am sure it's just couching it all, and this is a big nothing burger, and Trump's overstepping this and that.
2:08:31
SPEAKER_16: But I you do think about how consequential and how you're living through history.
2:08:36
SPEAKER_16: If ultimately this ends up where Ilhan Omar is denaturalized and deported as a sitting congressperson, that has never happened in American history.
2:08:45
SPEAKER_04: Oh here's the other piece, though, right?
2:08:48
SPEAKER_04: Like, this is why I'm I'm just so happy that this is happening, and I'm like super bullish that things are gonna come from this, they're gonna have election consequences, and even further, for Ilhan Omar to be as embedded you could call it into the entire system, and then have to imagine that all the people that knew of things that have concealed information about her that have looked the other way, Ilhan is gonna have some pretty big bargaining chips if she's like, Alright, listen, I'm not trying to go to prison.
2:09:19
SPEAKER_04: So let me tell you about these very elaborate schemes that other people were aware of or helped construct.
2:09:24
SPEAKER_04: Because I'm sorry, Ilhan does not get to the position she is at without support.
2:09:30
SPEAKER_04: When you hear her talk, you sometimes are like, She's a congressperson, and she's been in the country for how long?
2:09:37
SPEAKER_04: She doesn't sound very smart.
2:09:39
SPEAKER_04: So that means, as I've said to you before, the DFL and how corrupt they are have created her.
2:09:46
SPEAKER_04: And if she goes down, she is not the type that is gonna go down and be the brave warrior to go down with the ship.
2:09:52
SPEAKER_04: No, man, she's selling out everybody because she has no allegiance to this country.
2:09:56
SPEAKER_04: So let's be super clear about that.
2:09:58
SPEAKER_35: With all the news that we cover on a daily basis, it's important that you get a good night's sleep and take care of yourself.
2:10:03
SPEAKER_35: You can do that with the night gummies from Mini Leaf available at M-I-N-N-E, L E A F dot com.
2:10:09
SPEAKER_35: Uh, when it comes to Mini Leaf, run locally by Eric and his wife Lacey, they really do look at what they provide in terms of the products as a health and wellness company.
2:10:18
SPEAKER_35: You get a better night's sleep through the night gummies.
2:10:21
SPEAKER_35: I take them, my father takes them.
2:10:22
SPEAKER_35: Uh, you actually uh end up uh being able to take care of the pain, just like some friends of the show have with the Triple Diamond Pain Cream, not to mention the spooky mini leaf tonics that are brewed right here in Eden Prairie, everything packaged uh locally.
2:10:36
SPEAKER_35: Uh, if you have any questions about these products, right, because a lot of people have reservations about the industry, you gotta be 21 or older.
2:10:43

2:11:08
SPEAKER_35: Uh, Jacob Fry's veto on the Waymo proposal.
2:11:12
SPEAKER_35: So you can't expect your autonomous vehicles to be roaming the streets of Minneapolis.
2:11:16
SPEAKER_11: Hide your cats.
2:11:17
SPEAKER_35: Cats, you know what?
2:11:18
SPEAKER_35: I'm so glad that you uh mentioned that, uh, Catherine, because you know what?
2:11:22
SPEAKER_35: I think it's appropriate that we do a little Waymo.
2:11:25
SPEAKER_47: And then you can use the Waymo.
2:11:27
SPEAKER_47: You don't know which way they may go or may not go.

SPEAKER_61: So how are we graduating 94.1% of our students?
2:18:25
SPEAKER_61: You know, this has nothing to do with the quality of our teachers, and it had everything to do with a lack of school board and administrative accountability.

2:20:58
SPEAKER_35: Opening line is very telling, in my opinion.
2:21:01
SPEAKER_35: Uh, thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years.
2:21:07
SPEAKER_16: Is this a farewell tour?
2:21:10
SPEAKER_35: It's been a scary journey, but I've always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents.
2:21:18
SPEAKER_35: Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.
2:21:23
SPEAKER_35: I have always stood up to him, and that will never change.
2:21:26
SPEAKER_35: The pedophile protector will never silence me.
2:21:30
SPEAKER_35: A lot of past tense there in this hundred percent.
2:21:34
SPEAKER_35: A lot of past tense.
2:21:36
SPEAKER_35: That is very, very revealing to me.
2:21:40
SPEAKER_35: Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years.
2:21:43
SPEAKER_35: Like, I would not be shocked at all to find out that she is not in the country right now.
2:21:48
SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
2:21:48
SPEAKER_35: That would not surprise me in the least.
2:21:50
SPEAKER_35: But I know we have the passport situation where apparently they went and took them.
2:21:53
SPEAKER_35: But um that's an interesting statement to make.
2:21:56
SPEAKER_35: I mean, obviously lawyer-friendly, right?
2:21:58
SPEAKER_38: I've I've watched enough sports and of in the age of the transfer portal where these players will put out statements of like, hey, loved my time here, but like I'm gonna transfer.
2:22:06
SPEAKER_38: And it's like four paragraphs of like, oh, this has been great.
2:22:09
SPEAKER_38: Thank you, everyone, for everything.
2:22:10
SPEAKER_38: And at the end, it's like I'm transferring, I'm out of here.
2:22:12
SPEAKER_38: See ya.
2:22:14
SPEAKER_38: This this tweet reminded me of that.
2:22:17
SPEAKER_38: Yeah.
2:22:17
SPEAKER_38: That was like, this reads exactly like thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years.
2:22:21
SPEAKER_38: It's been great, it's been awesome.
2:22:23
SPEAKER_38: Peace out.
2:22:24
SPEAKER_35: It's like she knows what's coming.
2:22:26
SPEAKER_35: I I don't mean to re- I don't want to read too much into it, but that's it's a little hard not to, right?
2:22:30
SPEAKER_35: I'm not it's not just Isaac and I, right?
2:22:33
SPEAKER_11: Oh, yeah, no, I totally agree.
2:22:34
SPEAKER_11: It sounds like it's over my time in Congress or whatever.
2:22:37
SPEAKER_11: She said as if it's a closed chapter is very interesting.
2:22:41
SPEAKER_11: And obviously, she does know what this is all about and knows what's coming down the uh pipes.
2:22:45
SPEAKER_11: So I do think it could be pretty revealing.
2:22:48
SPEAKER_23: To detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11.
2:22:59
SPEAKER_04: Uh aka, your thoughts on the post.
2:23:01
SPEAKER_04: Uh one, I forgot about that clip.
2:23:03
SPEAKER_04: Uh, so thank you for playing welcome.
2:23:05
SPEAKER_04: Like just one of added to the the the litany of things that just show like she's just an incompetent person.
2:23:11
SPEAKER_04: But yeah, so that that ex post is super telling because she takes the pot shot at the end, right?
2:23:17
SPEAKER_04: But she didn't mention anything about like these allegations are false, right?
2:23:21
SPEAKER_04: Like, none of that is in there.
2:23:24
SPEAKER_04: And the fact that she had to surrender her passport leads me back to again your point that you made, John, is that this was signed off by a liberal judge.
2:23:34
SPEAKER_04: And for the evidence to be that compelling in an affidavit, I'm just gonna be so surprised to see what they actually were searching for.
2:23:41
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, undisclosed location is maybe you know, fancy talk for like she is right now just singing like a canary, and she's like, Oh no, it wasn't just me.
2:23:52
SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, man, this is very, I would say, I don't know, incriminating in my opinion.
2:23:58
SPEAKER_04: But out of everything you could have posted, yeah.
2:24:01
SPEAKER_04: That's it.
2:24:02
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, thanking the people who stood by you.
2:24:05
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, nothing.
2:24:07
SPEAKER_35: Thank you for standing with me.
2:24:08
SPEAKER_38: I'll weather the storm.
2:24:10
SPEAKER_38: I've always been grounded.
2:24:12
SPEAKER_16: Been hard work.
2:24:14
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
2:24:15
SPEAKER_16: I'm taking my talents to Somalia.
2:24:19
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, boy, the uh the the Moroccan weather is fantastic this time of year.
2:24:25
SPEAKER_35: Right?
2:24:26
SPEAKER_35: Getting some sightseeing in.
2:24:27
SPEAKER_16: The the ultimate desperate heave, and you hear it from Democrats, you even hear it from Democrats who are running for state house right now, this whole pedophile protector thing that she threw out at the end because she wants to avert your gaze from what's actually happening here.
2:24:44
SPEAKER_16: I just want to remind people that especially if you're in Minnesota, just bringing this back down to the local level, Ilhan Omar, I gotta see it to believe it, right?
2:24:52
SPEAKER_16: Uh, like uh the the blaster before had said uh we hear about this stuff all the time.
2:24:57
SPEAKER_16: I gotta I gotta see some hard and fast like convictions.
2:25:01
SPEAKER_16: Obviously, this indictment or these uh the the search warrant is a f a first step.
2:25:06
SPEAKER_16: I gotta see it to believe it.
2:25:08
SPEAKER_16: But getting back to this whole pedophile protector thing, right?
2:25:11
SPEAKER_16: That's because of the Epstein files and the la the perception that there's been a lack of release of them or what have you.
2:25:20
SPEAKER_16: I want to remind people that in Minnesota we had a bill that basically said that if you are basically airs age verification for viewing pornography, hardcore pornography, and not one Democrat voted for minors to not have access to pornography.
2:25:37
SPEAKER_16: And in Lee Finke's case, Lee Finke said we can't prevent minors from accessing pornography because this helps them become transgender.
2:25:46
SPEAKER_04: Right.
2:25:46
SPEAKER_16: Right?
2:25:47
SPEAKER_16: So you want to talk about pedophile protectors, right?
2:25:50
SPEAKER_16: We are actually creating an avenue for that in Minnesota, and we had a chance to do something about it, and every single Democrat, no matter what seat you're in, voted against a bill like that.
2:26:02
SPEAKER_16: So spare me.
2:26:04
SPEAKER_16: Spare me when you have an indictment against you or when you have a search warrant against you, and you start calling Republicans pedophile protectors.
2:26:11
SPEAKER_16: I saw firsthand what that looks like in Minnesota.
2:26:15
SPEAKER_16: It's it that part of the tweet, I think, is pretty revealing because it shows a defensive nature.
2:26:22
SPEAKER_16: It shows that I need to throw you off into some other area of it beyond the kind of past tense phrasing of it.
2:26:29
SPEAKER_16: This whole like, I fought against Trump, and by the way, he's a prep pedophile protector in chief.
2:26:34
SPEAKER_36: It's like that's all you got?
2:26:36
SPEAKER_36: Who asked you about that?
2:26:37
SPEAKER_36: That's all you that's all that's all you got.
2:26:38
SPEAKER_36: Thou doth protest too much, I think.
2:26:41
SPEAKER_36: Uh pedophile protector, rock band, racehorse.
2:26:44
SPEAKER_35: Or we can go neither.
2:26:46
SPEAKER_36: Probably rock band.
2:26:48
SPEAKER_08: No.
2:26:50
SPEAKER_35: Neither.
2:26:51
SPEAKER_08: Racehorse.
2:26:52
SPEAKER_04: I would say whoever came up with that name grab their hard drives, man.
2:26:56
SPEAKER_04: Goodness.
2:26:57
SPEAKER_35: It would probably have to be like the pedophile protectors, you know.
2:27:00
unknown: No.
2:27:02
SPEAKER_35: Oh, wait.
2:27:02
SPEAKER_35: So, or we can do like a like a Lee Finky in the pedophile protectors.
2:27:06
SPEAKER_35: We can go.
2:27:07
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, yeah, could go that way.
2:27:09
SPEAKER_35: Great on a t-shirt, although I wouldn't be careful where you go and you w wear it.
2:27:13
SPEAKER_38: Well, one more thought on this Elon thing is she if there's one thing I know about Elon, she never misses a moment in the sun, right?
2:27:19
SPEAKER_38: She never misses a new cycle where she gets a chance to fundraise off of it, gets a little attention from it.
2:27:25
SPEAKER_38: This would be the perfect opportunity for her to come out and say, like, hey, all this is false.
2:27:29
SPEAKER_38: Like, all of this, here's the here's what they're coming after me for.
2:27:32
SPEAKER_38: Here's why it's not true.
2:27:34
SPEAKER_38: This is just another scheme.
2:27:35
SPEAKER_38: She could rude.
2:27:37
SPEAKER_16: She has done that in the past.
2:27:39
SPEAKER_16: She has said this is all fake, and I've already proven this, that, and the other thing.
2:27:44
SPEAKER_16: For her to not say that, Isaac, you're right.
2:27:47
SPEAKER_16: That is that is a very interesting component of this, what, late last night tweet.
2:27:52
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, and she's probably was bursting at the seams to be able to say something.
2:27:55
SPEAKER_35: And again, it wasn't a I'll continue to serve you, you know, thank you for your continued support.
2:28:02
SPEAKER_35: It was past tense, and it was again, I will not be silenced.
2:28:05
SPEAKER_35: Listen, that was better than what Rashida Talib had to say to the media yesterday.
2:28:09
SPEAKER_08: 4 30 in the morning.
2:28:11
SPEAKER_08: 4 30 in the morning, they came server home.
2:28:14
SPEAKER_17: Are we already seeing an impact of that on Muslim Sabubi?
2:28:17
SPEAKER_35: Like, tell me you don't have an argument without telling me you don't have an argument.
2:28:20
SPEAKER_35: And I give you Rashida Talib going, and it was 4 30 in the morning, guys.
2:28:24
SPEAKER_35: They didn't even give us a heads up.
2:28:26
SPEAKER_35: I mean, just can you imagine?
2:28:27
SPEAKER_35: It was 4 30 in the morning.
2:28:31
SPEAKER_09: I think I think people are angry about it.
2:28:33
SPEAKER_09: Uh I think people know that a few weeks before the election, that to go and target someone that's been targeted by this this administration for a long time.
2:28:42
SPEAKER_09: Uh they they they use her ethnicity as a Somalian, they use her as a her uh a refugee, they use uh her immigrant status, the fact that she's Muslim, we're a hijab, a black woman, all of those identities and all one woman, even though she's small, I know she's tough.
2:28:57
SPEAKER_09: But it is hard for me to see her family being targeted like this.
2:29:01
SPEAKER_09: 4 30 in the morning.
2:29:04
SPEAKER_35: What time was it at?
2:29:06
SPEAKER_35: It was 4 30 in the morning.
2:29:07
SPEAKER_35: It's funny because everything she focused on in terms of Ilhan Omar and identity, those are all things that Ilhan Omar has worn as a badge of honor and used over and over again in her political career.
2:29:18
SPEAKER_35: Like you can't sit back and go, there's all these things when that's what Ilhan Omar has perpetuated for crying out for crying out loud.
2:29:25
SPEAKER_34: I will say cats have been killed.
2:29:27
SPEAKER_34: And cats have been killed by these autonomous vehicles, and I have a cat.
2:29:31
SPEAKER_34: I don't want my cat getting killed because of these autonomous vehicles.
2:29:36
SPEAKER_34: Just know that these Waymo vehicles, these autonomous vehicles have killed cats, and that's unfair.
2:29:41
SPEAKER_34: I just watched a video sitting here from the Deus, and it was really hard to watch.
2:29:44
SPEAKER_34: Literally, cats being murdered by these vehicles.
2:29:47
SPEAKER_36: Okay, so I shared this with you for a And now they'll be able to fly over the cats.
2:29:50
SPEAKER_36: That's right.
2:29:50
SPEAKER_36: Yeah.
2:29:51
SPEAKER_36: Thank you for that.
2:29:52
SPEAKER_35: I got a clip here, guys.
2:29:54
SPEAKER_35: I can't wait to share it with you.
2:29:55
SPEAKER_35: Uh, let's go to it though.
2:29:56
SPEAKER_35: Tesla unveils a brand new roadster.
2:29:58
SPEAKER_35: I had no idea that they were going to be doing this uh yesterday.
2:30:02
SPEAKER_35: No clue at all.
2:30:03
SPEAKER_35: Usually my son Logan will get will tip me off.
2:30:05
SPEAKER_35: And I woke up this morning as I mentioned to the text of him going, it's basically Speed Racer, and I thought I was watching AI.
2:30:11
SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
2:30:12
SPEAKER_35: The new roadster went up basically uh a half pipe, hung upside down before it backed down, and then went off it, flew upside down in the air, turned and then landed before doing the same stunt over a series of cars.
2:30:24
SPEAKER_35: It's a brand new sports car capable of staying static upside down solely on the suction power at the vehicle's base.
2:30:32
SPEAKER_35: The car is also capable of doing aerial flips, literally flying.
2:30:36
SPEAKER_35: It was unveiled last night in Waco, Texas.
2:30:39
SPEAKER_35: Mass production begins as early as 2028.
2:30:42
SPEAKER_35: Zero to 60 in one second.
2:30:45
SPEAKER_35: That would kill you, right?
2:30:47
SPEAKER_35: It has to, right?
2:30:48
SPEAKER_35: That I mean, that would just like That's insane.
2:30:50
SPEAKER_35: Zero to 104 seconds.
2:30:53
SPEAKER_35: Top speed of about 250 miles an hour, and the battery is capable of up to 621 miles without recharging.
2:31:01
SPEAKER_35: And Elon Elon even himself said that the the air compressor component in the jets, which apparently will be available on the car, they're self-recharging.
2:31:10
SPEAKER_35: Cool.
2:31:11
SPEAKER_35: It's one of the coolest things that I think I've ever seen.
2:31:13
SPEAKER_35: Someone on Twitter was like, I can't wait to kick flip over the next BLM protesters that block the road.
2:31:18
SPEAKER_35: Well, you know, guys, this person here is very upset of what of what has taken place.
2:31:23
SPEAKER_35: You guys, you guys, re guys ready?
2:31:24
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, let's hear it.
2:31:25
SPEAKER_35: Here we go.
2:31:27
SPEAKER_35: Hopefully, if it plays.
2:31:29
SPEAKER_35: Oh, why aren't you playing here?
2:31:30
SPEAKER_05: I think that this is cool.
2:31:32
SPEAKER_05: Okay, I think this is abhorrent.
2:31:34
SPEAKER_05: I think it is disgusting, and I think it's an insult to everybody on Earth that the first trillionaire, Elon Musk, spreader of hate speech and misinformation, is spending his money making cars spin around with little rockets on them so everybody goes, Oh, he's made a flying car.
2:31:50
SPEAKER_05: Oh, it's incredible! The car can drive upside down, it's back to the future.
2:31:54
SPEAKER_05: No! This is late-stage capitalism, and this is your money, your future being wasted.
2:32:00
SPEAKER_05: Billionaires and Silicon Valley people playing with money, playing with billions of dollars, so that rich people can buy these stupid cars and go, I've got a flying car.
2:32:11
SPEAKER_05: Nobody cares.
2:32:12
SPEAKER_35: That's I care.
2:32:13
SPEAKER_05: People are losing their lives in healthcare.
2:32:15
SPEAKER_05: People are starving.
2:32:17
SPEAKER_05: He could pay everybody on earth two million dollars and still be a billionaire.
2:32:22
SPEAKER_05: This is an insult to me and everybody else, and it's not right.
2:32:27
SPEAKER_05: The same goes for SpaceX.
2:32:29
SPEAKER_05: It's not okay.
2:32:29
SPEAKER_05: If you think this is what life is about, that's a problem.
2:32:33
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, says the guy who has a uh septum ring, so not a huge surprise there.
2:32:38
SPEAKER_35: I just said, First off, yeah, math is not math enough.
2:32:42
SPEAKER_38: Everyone$2 million and still be a billionaire?
2:32:45
SPEAKER_38: I I I don't there's no way.
2:32:46
SPEAKER_38: No.
2:32:47
SPEAKER_38: Second off, have you guys seen that meme where it's like this thing, it's like this guy in the meme, and he's like, this thing actually sucks.
2:32:53
SPEAKER_38: And in the background, it's like it's just that video in body.
2:32:57
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, that's just all it is.
2:32:58
SPEAKER_04: That's exactly like he's like, as he's getting ready to describe the thing that he's like, this is stupid, everyone's like, yeah, that's awesome.
2:33:05
SPEAKER_35: What are you talking about?
2:33:07
SPEAKER_35: We don't advance as a society, as humans, without moving forward with technological progression.
2:33:18
SPEAKER_35: You don't, you, you don't get anywhere if you just stay stagnant.
2:33:22
SPEAKER_35: Elon Musk is following in the footsteps of the individuals that we talked about earlier, your your Walt Disney's, your Henry Fords.
2:33:31
SPEAKER_35: They this is a dying breed of individual that is not around like what we saw in the past.
2:33:38
SPEAKER_35: And he he is, he's a modern day like Tony Stark, Howard Hughes for crying out loud.
2:33:43
SPEAKER_35: And there is so much that we cannot even predict in terms of technological advancements that will come out of the work that Elon Musk and SpaceX are doing right now.
2:33:56
SPEAKER_35: It's not just about the flying car.
2:33:58
SPEAKER_35: The flying car.
2:34:00
SPEAKER_35: Shows what we are capable of as a species, technology-wise, that will lead to other things in the future.
2:34:07
SPEAKER_35: It's not and it's a private company that's going and doing this.
2:34:10
SPEAKER_35: I don't want to take Max's uh comment away, but you mentioned it earlier.
2:34:14
SPEAKER_35: The government never would have been able to do this.
2:34:16
SPEAKER_35: There's no way.
2:34:17
SPEAKER_16: There's absolutely no way.
2:34:18
SPEAKER_16: They can't create this value.
2:34:19
SPEAKER_16: And by the way, you want to talk about erasing poverty and lifting people up and doing more for society than government possibly could.
2:34:26
SPEAKER_16: I would contend that Elon Musk by himself has done more than the Minnesota state government has done in terms of like lifting people out of poverty and providing a better life and better services and more accessibility to the internet.
2:34:38
SPEAKER_16: And the list goes on and on and on.
2:34:41
SPEAKER_16: Not the least of which is providing people actual free speech on the X platform as well, which we did not have on social media prior to Elon Musk taking X over.
2:34:51
SPEAKER_16: I just wanted to hit on what Isaac said too, because Septim Ring guy, who is obviously just like a non-functioning, non-producing human being, said that Elon Musk could get give everyone on Earth$2 million.
2:35:04
SPEAKER_16: I just did a little bit of math.
2:35:06
SPEAKER_16: That would mean that Elon Musk is worth 16 quintillion dollars.
2:35:13
SPEAKER_16: So math is off by a few zeros.
2:35:16
SPEAKER_04: It's$125 per person.
2:35:20
SPEAKER_04: Because we have 8.3 billion people on the earth, and he's a trillionaire.
2:35:25
SPEAKER_04: So just divide it.
2:35:26
SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah,$125 a person.
2:35:28
SPEAKER_11: Um, not like he has that in cash, by the way.
2:35:31
SPEAKER_11: Like you hand out to people.
2:35:32
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, does he think his like bank account, this guy thinks that Elon Musk's bank account is just whatever, a trillion dollars, and he can just pull whatever.
2:35:40
SPEAKER_38: No, a lot of them do.
2:35:41
SPEAKER_04: Like they they literally don't understand how wealth works, right?
2:35:44
SPEAKER_04: Like they've never even thought about it.
2:35:45
SPEAKER_04: There's like, oh, that number's in your bank account.
2:35:47
SPEAKER_04: I hope that was a parody.
2:35:48
SPEAKER_35: I I there's a I don't think so.
2:35:49
SPEAKER_35: I I don't think so either.
2:35:50
SPEAKER_35: I would wish that it was.
2:35:51
SPEAKER_35: Real quick, AK, just before you go, I just want to I want to make this make this comment.
2:35:56
SPEAKER_35: That there's another reason why the left hates this, because the left hates that personal achievement.
2:36:01
SPEAKER_35: Yes.
2:36:01
SPEAKER_35: You know, there are what thousands of individuals employed by SpaceX.
2:36:05
SPEAKER_35: Think about the the inspiration that Elon Musk is providing to all of those individuals of you can achieve basically anything.
2:36:15
SPEAKER_35: The dude has made a car that goes upside down and flies.
2:36:18
SPEAKER_35: I mean, and and like I talked about at the start of the show, we're not talking about what they currently call flying cars, which are basically just gigantic quadcopters.
2:36:25
SPEAKER_35: Correct.
2:36:26
SPEAKER_35: I don't consider those flying cars.
2:36:28
SPEAKER_35: This was a flying car.
2:36:29
SPEAKER_35: And while it may not be practical in real-world circumstances right now, it could be in the future, but again, the advancements and the inspiration of what he is doing, it's immeasurable.
2:36:39
SPEAKER_35: But the left hates that, they hate individual achievement that they can't go and grab onto to pull power from.
2:36:46
SPEAKER_16: And that matters, by the way.
2:36:47
SPEAKER_16: Like that inspiration matters.
2:36:51
SPEAKER_16: It shows American ingenuity and entrepreneurship and grit and the things that have defined us for 250 years.
2:36:59
SPEAKER_16: Because the number uh beyond it being like AI, right?
2:37:03
SPEAKER_16: Like that's that's what the feedback I'm getting.
2:37:06
SPEAKER_16: It was AI, it was fake.
2:37:08
SPEAKER_16: What I'm also seeing is like you can't commercialize this, it's not scalable, blah, blah, blah.
2:37:13
SPEAKER_16: That doesn't matter, right?
2:37:14
SPEAKER_16: Doesn't matter.
2:37:15
SPEAKER_16: You just saw a car that held upside down on a ramp based on suction and almost reverse gravity technology, and then you saw a car flip off that same ramp, do a flip, and land safely and drive away.
2:37:29
SPEAKER_16: That should inspire you.
2:37:30
SPEAKER_16: That should show that we there are new frontiers to explore, new technology to adopt.
2:37:36
SPEAKER_16: It doesn't matter that you can't commercialize it overnight.
2:37:40
SPEAKER_16: It is to show you that the future is possible.
2:37:43
SPEAKER_16: And the fact that you have leftists and the Septim Ring guy coming out and saying, like, this is a net negative on society.
2:37:50
SPEAKER_16: No, you know what is it is working in this archaic government model that we need to provide everything to everybody because there are no hopes and dreams and enterprise anymore.
2:38:01
SPEAKER_16: That is a depressing future, and that's what this guy thinks the future should be.
2:38:05
SPEAKER_16: Let's just provide everything for everybody so that there is no more ingenuity or no more vision casting or dreaming of things.
2:38:13
SPEAKER_16: They want you to own nothing and be happy.
2:38:15
SPEAKER_35: I know AK and Isaac have comments.
2:38:17
SPEAKER_35: I didn't know this, but apparently this little detail came out.
2:38:21
SPEAKER_35: During the Tesla Roadster, by the way, the car looks incredible.
2:38:24
SPEAKER_35: I just want to say that too.
2:38:25
SPEAKER_35: The car looks incredible.
2:38:27
SPEAKER_35: During the Tesla Roadster presentation show, the Optimus robot is at the wheel of the car.
2:38:33
SPEAKER_35: It gives a thumbs up while turning the car around and then bursts with joy.
2:38:38
SPEAKER_35: I hadn't I didn't even know that they had an AI that was in the world.
2:38:41
SPEAKER_35: I was wondering that.
2:38:41
SPEAKER_11: Like, was there is this supposedly safe for a human already?
2:38:45
SPEAKER_04: I'll play you the audio from Elon in just a moment.
2:38:47
SPEAKER_04: So to take a step back, understand that when it comes to what makes America so great, and when it comes to capitalism, why capitalism is the greatest generator of wealth of all known systems of exchange is because of this.
2:39:01
SPEAKER_04: You have a product that was designed to be able to get rockets, right?
2:39:07
SPEAKER_04: Uh to be able to get satellites into space.
2:39:09
SPEAKER_04: That same technology is now being used in vehicles.
2:39:14
SPEAKER_04: Like you have to piece it all together to understand that having innovation in this one area leads to the creation of different innovative things.
2:39:21
SPEAKER_04: And also understand, we talk about practical like how practical practical this can be.
2:39:26
SPEAKER_04: Um when you think about safety and something suddenly appearing in a roadway, and you have the adaptive ability to actually like flip a car around to avoid something, that's what this is about.
2:39:39
SPEAKER_04: Like when you really kind of dig deep into what this can do, it provides scenarios where we don't have to have people die because the AI systems that are running it are able to, on a you know, turn of a dime, be able to flip a car over and land it safely.
2:39:55
SPEAKER_04: So understand that that's where the scalability of this thing comes down to.
2:39:59
SPEAKER_04: Elon is building multiple systems at once.
2:40:01
SPEAKER_04: He is a visionary.
2:40:03
SPEAKER_04: And because he's building these multiple systems, it's all meant to actually have space adaptability and space travel for human beings.
2:40:12
SPEAKER_04: That's what all of this is scaling about.
2:40:14
SPEAKER_04: Whether we're talking about X as a line of communication, whether we're talking about X money, whether we're talking about Grok being able to use its AI capabilities to help make your life easier, I have Grok bot after Max talked about it.
2:40:26
SPEAKER_04: It's amazing the stuff that it does for me.
2:40:29
SPEAKER_04: And so ultimately, if you are a person that actually cares about human suffering, right?
2:40:34
SPEAKER_04: A lot of these leftists claim that they do, right?
2:40:36
SPEAKER_04: You should be cheering from the top of your lungs about what Elon Musk has been able to accomplish that will reduce human suffering within our lifetime to a gigantic measurable scale.
2:40:47
SPEAKER_04: I'm talking about we will probably see the eradication of true poverty everywhere in the world because of the innovations of Elon Musk.
2:40:56
SPEAKER_16: And by the way, this guy, sorry, this guy who did the monologue, just going back to the capitalism point that AK made, Elon Musk has stolen nothing from you.
2:41:06
SPEAKER_16: Right.
2:41:06
SPEAKER_16: He has not forced you by by gun to give you any money.
2:41:10
SPEAKER_16: Unlike government, government has a monopoly on force.
2:41:14
SPEAKER_16: Government is the thing that takes money from you and doles it out however it deems fit.
2:41:20
SPEAKER_16: Elon Musk is not the problem.
2:41:22
SPEAKER_16: Elon Musk has not stolen from you.
2:41:25
SPEAKER_16: He's not extracted money that you were not willing to give.
2:41:28
SPEAKER_16: And that's the beauty of it.
2:41:30
SPEAKER_16: Because of the revenue that Elon Musk has generated, he is able to do things like this and show us what the future is like.
2:41:37
SPEAKER_16: I we've said it four times on the show.
2:41:39
SPEAKER_16: Government is not capable of doing that.
2:41:42
SPEAKER_38: Yeah, Max got me fired up here.
2:41:44
SPEAKER_38: Um, it honestly does not matter if in 10 years we're all driving flying cars or not.
2:41:48
SPEAKER_38: What matters is that the next Elon Musk is watching this and seeing this clip and being like, oh, this is so cool.
2:41:55
SPEAKER_38: Because every kid, well, every boy at least is watching this, going, Holy crap, a flying car, are you kidding me?
2:42:00
SPEAKER_38: Every five-year-old boy is like, Well, well, I want to like invent a next flying car, I want to do the next flying car thing.
2:42:06
SPEAKER_38: You know, and you have to ask yourself, why does the left hate that?
2:42:10
SPEAKER_38: And why does the left discourage that?
2:42:12
SPEAKER_38: And it's because it still shows that you are personally personally responsible for your own destiny in this country.
2:42:19
SPEAKER_38: You don't have to sit back and sulk in the predestined, you know, um box that the left tries to put you in, you know, and so that's why they hate this.
2:42:29
SPEAKER_38: That's why they hate seeing it, because the next five-year-old kid is inspired by this, going, I can do whatever I want because look at him, he did that.
2:42:37
SPEAKER_11: But also because it's not just capitalists.
2:42:39
SPEAKER_11: Like I would take it a step further than what you guys said too.
2:42:41
SPEAKER_11: I think it is the result of our capitalist system in America, but it's also like pure American spirit, and it's what we're known for and what has made us successful.
2:42:50
SPEAKER_35: And what we've lost in a lot of ways.
2:42:52
SPEAKER_11: Exactly.
2:42:53
SPEAKER_11: And it's what the left has been suppressing and wanting us to have less of.
2:42:57
SPEAKER_11: And it it I love seeing it come back, as much as I don't care about cars or like spaced or flippy things.
2:43:03
SPEAKER_11: I love seeing that pure American spirit, and the thing that's suppressed, you're right, Isaac, mostly in men and boys is that drive for innovation and to do something crazy and wild.
2:43:13
SPEAKER_11: And it's what made America successful and people in America the wealthiest in the country.
2:43:18
SPEAKER_11: So you have to keep that in mind too.
2:43:20
SPEAKER_11: It's not just rich people driving these cars around.
2:43:22
SPEAKER_11: That wealth affects everyone in this country.
2:43:24
SPEAKER_38: Forging a new frontier.
2:43:25
SPEAKER_35: Well, there's very little anymore that impresses anybody.
2:43:29
SPEAKER_35: I mean, this is why sports continues to be so popular, live sports, you know, because of the unpredictable nature of what can take place, seeing, you know, a sports team come back uh, you know, after being down, just as an example.
2:43:41
SPEAKER_35: But when it comes to things that we can see in the real world, it's like near impossible to really wow anybody anymore.
2:43:48
SPEAKER_35: I mean, when it comes to movies, you would you would be thrilled by what you saw on the screen, but even then it's like, oh, it's just all CGI.
2:43:54
SPEAKER_35: Very, there's very little that excites the imagination anymore.
2:43:57
SPEAKER_35: Elon Musk has been able to go and do something that nobody can really do anymore.
2:44:02
SPEAKER_35: Catching that booster rocket, you know, I my son was there, and I'm so glad that he was.
2:44:07
SPEAKER_35: It was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen before that when they were landing reusable rockets.
2:44:11
SPEAKER_35: And now to see what we saw yesterday, to sit back and go, Oh, I never in a million years thought I would have seen something like that.
2:44:18
SPEAKER_35: I want to play a couple of uh audio clips before we get back to a couple of uh the comments on the blaster line.
2:44:23
SPEAKER_03: This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.
2:44:31
SPEAKER_04: Um a second.
2:44:35
SPEAKER_18: It's crazy to listen to these Democrats complain about millionaires, billionaires, capitalism while taking more and more of your money in taxation every year.
2:44:44
SPEAKER_18: This country should have tons of millionaires that have their money in assets, investments, cash.
2:44:53
SPEAKER_18: It doesn't matter.
2:44:54
SPEAKER_18: We should all be millionaires if we can just get our hands, the government can get their hands off of our money and let us invest the way we see fit without taxing us on everything that we do.
2:45:06
SPEAKER_42: So the the the car has uh obviously attitude control thrusters and and main thrusters in the rear.
2:45:13
SPEAKER_42: So it can basically fly like a rocket.
2:45:17
SPEAKER_42: Um and uh it can do rolls, it could pick do like crazy gymnastics, uh whatever you want, really.
2:45:27
SPEAKER_42: Um I should you know say that this is not uh necessarily a safety optimized car.
2:45:33
SPEAKER_42: Okay.
2:45:35
SPEAKER_42: Uh but it is uh it it takes the the fun meter to eleven out of ten.
2:45:41
SPEAKER_42: But speaking of fun meter, yeah.
2:45:43
SPEAKER_44: You want to try one?
2:45:44
SPEAKER_44: Let's try something else.
2:45:46
SPEAKER_44: Yeah.
2:45:46
SPEAKER_44: So I edit it out where they flip the car over a line of cars here.
2:45:50
SPEAKER_44: Let's do a longer flight.
2:45:54
SPEAKER_41: All right.
2:45:56
SPEAKER_41: See what we got set up.
2:45:58
SPEAKER_37: And then they do the flight.
2:46:04
SPEAKER_40: Tony Hawke would be proud.
2:46:05
SPEAKER_40: We call that the kickflip.
2:46:07
SPEAKER_40: Yeah.
2:46:09
SPEAKER_43: I think we can have cleared more than our whole fleet.
2:46:12
SPEAKER_42: Yeah, we can go we can go further.
2:46:15
SPEAKER_42: Uh like this will be an actual car that's on the roads.
2:46:21
SPEAKER_42: You know, I'm not sure it's necessarily legal in all jurisdictions, but uh like there will be such a car that a per that someone can own.
2:46:31
SPEAKER_42: So it's uh it's gonna be pretty pretty well that you can have a rocket car.
2:46:35
unknown: Yeah.
2:46:35
SPEAKER_35: Somebody had said next he'll put wings on it.
2:46:37
SPEAKER_35: He won't have to put wings on it.
2:46:38
SPEAKER_35: No, you don't need wings.
2:46:39
SPEAKER_16: Oh, I just love how that entire presentation was an awkward bumbling and stumbling of engineers.
2:46:45
SPEAKER_16: Like, right?
2:46:46
SPEAKER_16: It's not like some flashy, like they didn't get a celebrity to come do this unveiling.
2:46:51
SPEAKER_16: No, they didn't need to.
2:46:52
SPEAKER_16: It's just like it's just like four guys.
2:46:54
SPEAKER_16: I watched the video of this dude.
2:46:56
SPEAKER_16: It's like four guys like on the spectrum, like talking to each other.
2:47:00
SPEAKER_35: The one guy in the audience is like, do it, do further, yeah, do a kidflip.
2:47:05
SPEAKER_35: In hindsight, before I now realize, before I went to bed last night, I saw the half pipe ramp, and somebody had just posted, I just remembered this, somebody had posted, what is Tesla up to?
2:47:16
SPEAKER_35: And I saw it right before I went to bed, and I go, I have no idea what any of this is about.
2:47:19
SPEAKER_35: I didn't even consider this was possible.
2:47:21
SPEAKER_35: And the big complaint that you hear from the left beyond Septum Ring Boy, is that, well, you know, he's he's just a facilitator.
2:47:30
SPEAKER_35: He doesn't get the credit, it's everybody around him.
2:47:33
SPEAKER_35: And as I mentioned earlier, you could say that about Walt Disney, Howard Hughes, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, George Lucas.
2:47:40
SPEAKER_35: All of those individuals, including Elon Musk, they deserve the credit.
2:47:44
SPEAKER_35: They have a team around them, but they are the visionaries.
2:47:47
SPEAKER_35: Without them, this without Elon Musk, none of this would have been capable.
2:47:52
SPEAKER_35: It would not have been accomplished without Elon Musk being at the helm.
2:47:56
SPEAKER_04: And you can literally go and find videos of a, you know, basically a balding-ish Elon, because he started to lose hair when he's young, and then he's like, oh, I'm rich now.
2:48:06
SPEAKER_04: I can get hair plugs or whatever he he did to make his hair grow back.
2:48:09
SPEAKER_04: But you can find videos of him in these warehouses of his first ever concepts of building rockets.
2:48:15
SPEAKER_04: It's because he is a visionary, he also is engineer.
2:48:20
SPEAKER_04: Like, like, he's not um just like, oh, I have money and I'm paying people to do stuff.
2:48:25
SPEAKER_04: That's quite literally not what Elon does.
2:48:27
SPEAKER_04: He gets his hands dirty with a bunch of stuff that he is in charge of to make sure that it's working, and he scrutinizes the people that he puts in charge.
2:48:36
SPEAKER_04: But it is about vision.
2:48:37
SPEAKER_04: And I just want to say this too.
2:48:39
SPEAKER_04: For the left that claims that they are so pro-immigrant, understand that Elon Musk, one of the most successful Americans, is an immigrant.
2:48:50
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, and isn't that it?
2:48:52
SPEAKER_11: Because the right gets called racist all the time.
2:48:54
SPEAKER_11: But what we are not look what we are looking at is not, you know, color of your skin, but rather that American spirit, that ingenuity that makes you an American.
2:49:03
SPEAKER_11: And something about Elon was just so fundamentally American.
2:49:07
SPEAKER_11: He has the spirit of someone who's an American, he belongs here, he's doing great things for this country.
2:49:12
SPEAKER_11: Everyone on the right absolutely loves that.
2:49:14
SPEAKER_11: The spirit that we don't embrace on the right is the one that comes here and thinks that they deserve handouts from the people already here that rely on the government to give them things that don't have that same spirit of ingenuity that has made our country great.
2:49:28
SPEAKER_11: That's the difference.
2:49:29
SPEAKER_11: It's not racial, it's a difference in who you are as a person in your spirit.
2:49:33
SPEAKER_04: It's like quite literally the embracement, the embracing and embodiment of the American ethos that we can pull people from other parts of the world that have that same desire and really help them flourish and they adopt American principles, American culture, and they help make our nation better.
2:49:54
SPEAKER_04: Like that's quite literally what the founders wanted.
2:49:56
SPEAKER_04: It's not that uh you can only be a true heritage American, and I know that we use that kind of tongue in cheek and in a way to kind of like, you know, show our political flag, but ultimately, anyone in the world that is born anywhere in the world, if they adopt our principles and values as Americans, they can make our country better.
2:50:16
SPEAKER_04: That's who we want to come here.
2:50:18
SPEAKER_04: We want to steal the greatest and best everywhere across the world if they agree to our values.
2:50:23
SPEAKER_04: If they don't, stay wherever you're at.
2:50:26
SPEAKER_33: You guys are all talking so positively about your capitalism.
2:50:31
SPEAKER_33: Come on, just embrace that warm collectivism of communism.
2:50:37
SPEAKER_33: That's what we need to do here, guys.
2:50:39
SPEAKER_33: Come on.
2:50:40
SPEAKER_37: Yeah.
2:50:41
SPEAKER_37: Like a warm blanket collectivism.
2:50:43
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, warm death blanket.
2:50:45
SPEAKER_16: That warmth you feel is when your head is under the guillotine.
2:50:48
SPEAKER_36: That is that is blood washing over you.
2:50:50
SPEAKER_35: Like that woman years ago that was running for office who had her husband that melted her like butter.
2:50:54
SPEAKER_35: I don't know if you guys remember that one.
2:50:55
SPEAKER_10: What in the world?
2:50:57
SPEAKER_35: You remember that?
2:50:57
SPEAKER_35: I had somebody that brought it up earlier.
2:50:59
SPEAKER_35: The woman, there was a woman running in Wisconsin, and she ran an ad and she mentioned her husband.
2:51:03
SPEAKER_35: Like my husband who melts me like butter.
2:51:06
SPEAKER_23: It was like the most despised ad, and I grabbed the clip and I played it over and over again, and it made everybody really, really, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11.
2:51:19
SPEAKER_23: World War 11.
2:51:23
SPEAKER_14: You know, Max is absolutely right about this poster and how he feels about capitalism, but you know, the the trick there is that these people who are socialists, communists, they don't really believe in property.
2:51:42
SPEAKER_14: They think that Elon's money is actually everybody's money.
2:51:46
SPEAKER_14: So Elon didn't have to take it from anybody, they just automatically think that everybody owns everything and we should share it all.
2:51:57
SPEAKER_35: Uh, there was a uh comment that rolled in oh here we go.
2:52:00
SPEAKER_35: This is what I wanted.
2:52:01
SPEAKER_28: Yeah, good morning, Mr.
2:52:02
SPEAKER_28: Mike and D.
2:52:03
SPEAKER_28: Haven.
2:52:04
SPEAKER_28: Uh I'm a little uh missed at Elon Musk because now he has ruined everything chase scene where the car flies off a cliff and crashes and blows up and burns.
2:52:20
SPEAKER_28: And we're we're that's it.
2:52:22
SPEAKER_28: We're never gonna see that again.
2:52:24
SPEAKER_35: Well, and let me bring it back, let me bring this back locally, um, because the only way that car was able to achieve what it achieved was through pure mathematics to be able to get those thrusters to fire exactly the way they did for the duration that they did.
2:52:40
SPEAKER_35: You can't do that without just exact, you know, precise measurements across the board.
2:52:45
SPEAKER_35: And you think about, again, the importance of education and the deplorable education we have here in Minnesota.
2:52:51
SPEAKER_35: You know, you have the reading, and it hasn't been focused on enough, in my opinion.
2:52:55
SPEAKER_35: You have the reading and the math lack of proficiency.
2:52:57
SPEAKER_35: Half the students aren't proficient reading and math.
2:53:00
SPEAKER_35: That 26%, only 26% are proficient in science here in Minnesota.
2:53:05
SPEAKER_35: I mean, that is it's almost as equally as devastating, even though they changed the parameter.
2:53:11
SPEAKER_35: But it that doesn't get nearly enough focus and criticism when it comes to when we go and look at just the deplorable condition of Minnesota's public education system.
2:53:20
SPEAKER_16: No doubt.
2:53:20
SPEAKER_16: No doubt.
2:53:21
SPEAKER_16: And to that, one blaster's point, it's that very ideology that own nothing, don't pursue capital, everyone's money is everyone's.
2:53:32
SPEAKER_16: If we have a challenge, like everyone sitting in this room right now, for as long as we are alive, like that is the ideology we will have to war against.
2:53:42
SPEAKER_16: Because you have to get back to that enterprising American spirit.
2:53:46
SPEAKER_16: If we're if we're gonna survive, if our grandchildren are gonna survive or our children are going to survive, it is going to be on the back of a capitalist system.
2:53:56
SPEAKER_16: And yes, it's it's present.
2:53:58
SPEAKER_16: Almost half the country believes that Elon Musk's money belongs to everybody, and that number is growing among young people.
2:54:07
SPEAKER_16: It is a challenge, it's an ideological battle that we will have to wage for as long as we're alive.
2:54:13
SPEAKER_16: Because if we shift away from that, if that mentality gets mainstreamed, then we're screwed.
2:54:18
SPEAKER_16: Then then we lose the very thing that we witnessed yesterday in American enterprise and American spirit and technological advancement.
2:54:26
SPEAKER_16: You know, the one thing that I just wanted to mention too was that I don't know if you guys follow Eric Weinstein, Eric Weinstein at all.
2:54:32
SPEAKER_16: He's been on a tear lately, just John, to your point earlier, where we have not advanced in a lot of categories in life for a long, long time.
2:54:40
SPEAKER_16: And one thing he talks about is AI and mathematics.
2:54:45
SPEAKER_16: Eric Weinstein had basically said that we have not advanced in mathematics since like the 1950s, nothing real has happened in mathematics since like the 1950s, 1960s because of academic gatekeeping, because of people feeling like their position is more important than the work.
2:55:04
SPEAKER_16: And he is saying that AI is going to destroy that, and it's a good thing because then we're going to unlock this kind of pioneering spirit when it comes to new mathematical breakthroughs.
2:55:16
SPEAKER_16: Because he he's just been on a tear lately about how people are so scared of AI when it comes to mathematics.
2:55:22
SPEAKER_16: But his contention, again, is that academics have basically made it a cottage industry where they're not researching fast enough, they're not making new breakthroughs, and it's because this governmental academic exercise they're performing, again, is more important than the work itself.
2:55:40
SPEAKER_04: So put 10 data centers in my backyard, please.
2:55:43
SPEAKER_04: Because that's actually what I want.
2:55:44
SPEAKER_11: So I do think it's important too that we pair those advancements in AI with things like that SpaceX specifically does, like these big launches and these big things with cars.
2:55:53
SPEAKER_11: Like, I we need to physically see that innovation.
2:55:56
SPEAKER_11: I think there's still something about being able to physically see our cars flying.
2:56:00
SPEAKER_11: Through the air and things like that, and making a big deal of it.
2:56:02
SPEAKER_11: That is so cool because I hear about all these advancements, you know, in AI, like uh with mathematics.
2:56:07
SPEAKER_11: They're solving these problems we haven't been able to solve in forever.
2:56:10
SPEAKER_11: And that's that's great.
2:56:11
SPEAKER_11: But I want to see a flying car, okay?
2:56:13
SPEAKER_11: So the more we put these things on display, in my opinion, I think, the better.
2:56:17
SPEAKER_35: So I have this list.
2:56:19
SPEAKER_35: We're not gonna have time to go through all of it.
2:56:20
SPEAKER_35: I can do it briefly.
2:56:21
SPEAKER_35: I did, I was laughing a moment ago because my son had sent me a post on X.
2:56:25
SPEAKER_35: They're already making AI videos based off of the flying Tesla roaster, and they were they were saying the the flyby shootings are gonna be off the chain.
2:56:35
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
2:56:36
SPEAKER_04: Don't let the Somali youth get a hold of these things, man.
2:56:38
SPEAKER_04: They'll be doing flips with AKs.
2:56:41
SPEAKER_35: So uh I got confused there.
2:56:44
SPEAKER_35: I was like flips with AK, but then you're AK, so that confused me.
2:56:47
SPEAKER_35: So uh the article I had from the Blaze was six modern car technologies that make driving worse.
2:56:52
SPEAKER_35: So I think we all mostly have these, right?
2:56:54
SPEAKER_35: So we can run through these really quick.
2:56:56
SPEAKER_35: Cameras that watch you, these are the ones that monitor, and then they go back and they tell you, hey, do you want to take a break?
2:57:01
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, I'm not dying, I don't like that.
2:57:03
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, no, I don't like it.
2:57:04
SPEAKER_35: Where your eyes are and stuff like that.
2:57:06
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, that yeah, my car.
2:57:07
SPEAKER_35: My car just tells you a little coffee cup.
2:57:08
SPEAKER_36: It's time to go and take a break.
2:57:09
SPEAKER_36: Time to take a break.
2:57:10
SPEAKER_36: It's like I've been on the road for two minutes, man.
2:57:12
SPEAKER_35: Uh microphones that listen, right?
2:57:15
SPEAKER_35: Once connected, uh uh once a connected car has microphones and a cellular connection, the privacy question gets more uh troubling.
2:57:23
SPEAKER_35: They go through other examples here, but I go off of the assumption that the car and everything is listening to me ever all the time, anyways.
2:57:30
SPEAKER_35: So that doesn't really bother me at all.
2:57:31
SPEAKER_35: The fact that the car is listening in.
2:57:32
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, it's a little freaky.
2:57:34
SPEAKER_35: I've thought about that before.
2:57:35
SPEAKER_38: Because I can say, like, you know, hey Google, and you know, change the radio station or whatever.
2:57:39
SPEAKER_38: But Max's a little freaky.
2:57:40
SPEAKER_38: Max had to Max had to leave.
2:57:42
SPEAKER_16: I gotta go contribute to the American spirit.
2:57:44
SPEAKER_16: Okay, we'll see you later.
2:57:44
SPEAKER_35: Thank you for the time.
2:57:45
SPEAKER_35: You're the best.
2:57:47
SPEAKER_11: I don't really care about those, I have to say.
2:57:50
SPEAKER_35: The uh the the fact that it listens to you?
2:57:53
SPEAKER_11: No, I don't really care.
2:57:54
SPEAKER_11: That that's way too much data.
2:57:55
SPEAKER_11: No one's sifting through my like car data.
2:57:57
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, joke's on that to me.
2:57:58
SPEAKER_11: Like, yeah, they'll hear me singing, I guess, every once in a while when I get really into a song like that.
2:58:03
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:58:03
SPEAKER_35: Yeah, if you're listening to me talk to my AI Alex on ChatGPT, then you know what?
2:58:07
SPEAKER_35: Then the joke's on you.
2:58:08
SPEAKER_35: Whatever.
2:58:09
SPEAKER_35: Uh touch screens for things that used to have buttons.
2:58:13
SPEAKER_35: Don't care.
2:58:14
SPEAKER_35: Terrible replacement for controls when while driving.
2:58:16
SPEAKER_35: I don't have buttons in my car.
2:58:18
SPEAKER_38: It's all touch screen.
2:58:19
SPEAKER_38: See, I wouldn't like a big iPad on the like air condition, uh temperature, volume.
2:58:24
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, like a Tesla.
2:58:25
SPEAKER_38: Everything is all see.
2:58:27
SPEAKER_35: I have a combo in Monty.
2:58:28
SPEAKER_35: I have the infotainment system, but then I also have a series of buttons that I can use for everything else.
2:58:34
SPEAKER_35: I like the tactile nature of it.
2:58:36
SPEAKER_04: It's only because we've experienced these earlier iterations where it stops working, and then our fear is if we don't have a manual button, then you're really effed.
2:58:46
SPEAKER_04: So that's what I think this comes from.
2:58:48
SPEAKER_04: I don't think people really care about touching the buttons as much as they just don't trust that the screen will always hold up.
2:58:53
SPEAKER_11: Well, and the fingerprints.
2:58:54
SPEAKER_11: I don't like the fingerprints.
2:58:55
SPEAKER_35: I don't like that either.
2:58:56
SPEAKER_35: I gotta keep a microfiber uh wash in the uh in the studio.
2:59:00
SPEAKER_35: All right, uh, or in the car.
2:59:01
SPEAKER_35: Uh let's see.
2:59:02
SPEAKER_35: Automatic stop start.
2:59:03
SPEAKER_35: Uh yes, that's awful.
2:59:05
SPEAKER_35: I turned it off every single time.
2:59:07
SPEAKER_35: Terrible, terrible.
2:59:10
SPEAKER_35: It was so incredibly stupid.
2:59:12
SPEAKER_35: Um electric power steering, they talk about how it's made it too easy to drive, but I adjust mine and put it in this in the sport mode.
2:59:19
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
2:59:20
SPEAKER_04: Have either one of you driven a vehicle that doesn't have power steering?
2:59:24
SPEAKER_35: I don't know what that means.
2:59:25
SPEAKER_04: Awful.
2:59:26
SPEAKER_04: So I was gonna say that just seems terrible.
2:59:28
SPEAKER_04: It's so hard to turn.
2:59:29
SPEAKER_35: What they're talking about in the car is that they've the the electronic steering has improved so much that it almost makes it too easy to steer.
2:59:39
SPEAKER_35: And I just don't I just like I said, I if I'm if I'm if I'm in normal mode, you can really whip the car around easily.
2:59:45
SPEAKER_35: I put it in sport mode, it tightens the steering up a little bit.
2:59:48
SPEAKER_35: But yeah, I grew up driving cars that didn't have power steering, and that is a that's a chore.
2:59:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you actually have to really try hard to drive it.
2:59:54
SPEAKER_35: You gotta like real you've gotta I mean you you don't know what it's really like unless you've driven a car without power steering steering.
2:59:59
SPEAKER_11: No, I get in my car now, and as soon as I hit the highway, I go auto drive, and then I just sit there.
3:00:04
SPEAKER_11: It's incredible.
3:00:05
SPEAKER_11: Like I do this everywhere now, and I feel like it's so good.
3:00:08
SPEAKER_11: I mean, the road I got a ticket on not that long ago.
3:00:11
SPEAKER_11: I'm never going above the speed limit because I just set it on the one, on the one setting and it drives for me.
3:00:17
SPEAKER_11: I mean, this is the American spirit, man.
3:00:19
SPEAKER_11: Me not having to do anything in my car.
3:00:20
SPEAKER_11: It's probably way safer than me, you know, pushing my gas to the floor when I'm on the highway, usually.
3:00:26
SPEAKER_35: The uh last one on the list was the connected car itself.
3:00:29
SPEAKER_35: This is the technology behind all the others.
3:00:31
SPEAKER_35: Your car is no longer merely a machine.
3:00:34
SPEAKER_35: Increasingly, it's a computer on wheels, cameras, microphone software, and an internet connection.
3:00:39
SPEAKER_35: If you had asked me before I got Monty, because Junior, the 2014 Kia Forte coupe that Kyle now drives, it's still pretty much all analog.
3:00:48
SPEAKER_35: It's got a little bit of a stereo on it, but it's pretty much still all, you know, it doesn't have all the fancy schmanchy stuff.
3:00:53
SPEAKER_35: Uh Monty does, and I was like, Yeah, I don't want if I use all this.
3:00:56
SPEAKER_35: No, I'm a completely I'm on board.
3:00:58
SPEAKER_35: I love all of it, right?
3:00:58
SPEAKER_35: No, it's awesome.
3:00:59
SPEAKER_35: I love I love all of the extra features.
3:01:00
SPEAKER_38: You're telling me I can watch YouTube sitting in my driveway on my in my car.
3:01:04
SPEAKER_38: That's right.
3:01:04
SPEAKER_38: Just on the screen.
3:01:05
SPEAKER_38: Sure.
3:01:05
SPEAKER_38: Yep.
3:01:06
SPEAKER_38: Yeah.
3:01:06
SPEAKER_38: Why?
3:01:07
SPEAKER_11: Well, the safety too, it's like, it's incredible.
3:01:09
SPEAKER_11: I mean, the safety features that these cars have, I mean, it makes it so much harder to get in an accident.
3:01:15
SPEAKER_11: And that is really incredible.
3:01:17
SPEAKER_11: Especially, I was like, you know, I'm I'm pregnant, about to have a kid.
3:01:19
SPEAKER_11: I'm looking at the safety features in these cars for the first time in my life.
3:01:22
SPEAKER_11: I'm prioritizing them.
3:01:23
SPEAKER_11: Um, and I think that that's that's one of the greatest parts of all this innovation is people are much safer on the road than they ever have been.
3:01:29
SPEAKER_35: Uh, I have the list.
3:01:30
SPEAKER_35: We'll we'll wrap on this.
3:01:32
SPEAKER_35: Everything you need to know about the new Tesla Roadster created to be the ultimate driver's car.
3:01:36
SPEAKER_35: It'll actually begin deliveries in 2028, built in Texas.
3:01:41
SPEAKER_35: Three configurations performance, thrust, and rocket.
3:01:45
SPEAKER_35: All right.
3:01:46
SPEAKER_40: Nice.
3:01:47
SPEAKER_40: I want all three.
3:01:48
SPEAKER_35: Uh 300 miles of range for all trims, uh, zero to sixty mile per hour in one second.
3:01:56
SPEAKER_35: Uh ten nozzles feed by six hundred liters of compressed air, allow the car to move forward, upward, and rotate.
3:02:04
SPEAKER_11: Do you think you can do the zero to sixty without vomiting?
3:02:06
SPEAKER_11: Like, I in my husband's Tesla, it's like three point something seconds to go zero to sixty.
3:02:12
SPEAKER_11: And if he actually does that, which we have like only a couple of times, my stomach drops and it's like, oh my god.
3:02:17
SPEAKER_04: It's that g force.
3:02:18
SPEAKER_11: It's crazy.
3:02:19
SPEAKER_11: How do you do that?
3:02:20
SPEAKER_11: Do you uh can are people doing this right now in the roadster?
3:02:24
SPEAKER_35: I I like I said, the most one of the most terrifying things ever was when I did the road test for the Cybertruck and the guy floored it.
3:02:29
SPEAKER_35: I've never felt torque like that in in anything ever in my life.
3:02:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you have to be prepared for it, because if you're not, uh, your body moving that fast for sure.
3:02:39
SPEAKER_04: Some people black out from it.
3:02:40
SPEAKER_04: So most people will I think black out at around like 10 G's.
3:02:45
SPEAKER_04: Um and so if you actually do like zero to sixty, you're close to I think it's like seven or eight G's.
3:02:51
SPEAKER_04: So some people for sure, um that's that's why even though you can do that, most people won't.
3:02:57
SPEAKER_35: The thrusters generate four to five times the force the tires can handle.
3:03:02
SPEAKER_35: The multimode suction fan system can hold the car upside down even when stationary.
3:03:09
SPEAKER_35: It says up to two G.
3:03:11
SPEAKER_35: Okay.
3:03:12
SPEAKER_35: So what's the what's the what's the uh measurement there?
3:03:14
SPEAKER_04: So, like if something was pushing down further than two G's of gravity.
3:03:19
SPEAKER_04: Okay, there you go.
3:03:19
SPEAKER_04: Okay, thank you.
3:03:20
SPEAKER_04: It wouldn't be able to hold on to it.
3:03:21
SPEAKER_35: Uh it was uh the car can go upside down.
3:03:23
SPEAKER_35: Uh dude, the laws are gonna have to be crafted for this thing.
3:03:27
SPEAKER_35: Because right now we don't have any laws governing this.
3:03:29
SPEAKER_35: There's no laws governing.
3:03:31
SPEAKER_11: We don't need those.
3:03:31
SPEAKER_35: You're sitting in traffic, you could just do a kickflip over the cars in front of you on you know 169.
3:03:37
SPEAKER_35: I'm just envisioning this in my head.
3:03:39
SPEAKER_35: Um it was inspired by the SR71 and the F-35.
3:03:42
SPEAKER_35: Headlights are concealed.
3:03:44
SPEAKER_35: Um, gold glaze tinted glass, spate suit visor style, titanium accents, uh made with magnesium, titanium, carbon fire uh fiber, height adjustable spool valve dampeners, which allows the cars to the car to raise and lower.
3:04:02
SPEAKER_35: This is the coolest thing ever.
3:04:03
SPEAKER_35: That's awesome.
3:04:04
SPEAKER_35: I'm so giddy.
3:04:05
SPEAKER_35: That's incredible.
3:04:06
SPEAKER_35: Incredible.
3:04:06
SPEAKER_35: I just anybody uh if you're if you're poo-pooing this in any way, shape, or form, I'm sorry, you are an idiot.
3:04:12
SPEAKER_35: Um let's wrap on this.
3:04:30
SPEAKER_55: We don't want to have to defend you.
3:04:32
SPEAKER_55: Um I'm just so happy with the funny training.
3:04:45
SPEAKER_35: I'm telling you, as we wrap up uh with uh with Ilhan Omar, I I think uh based off of that again, my spidey senses are tingling.
3:04:52
SPEAKER_35: There's gonna be new news today.
