SPEAKER_11: We have a couple of lists that we'll dive into today that I'm very uh excited about.
2:09
SPEAKER_11: And of course, because it is a Freedom Friday, that means you're on and off topic comments all morning long to the blaster line.

2:23
SPEAKER_35: Good morning, John.
2:24
SPEAKER_35: Have a happy day today.
2:29
SPEAKER_35: Um, Freedom Friday.
2:31
SPEAKER_35: Same for everyone.
2:33
SPEAKER_35: Bye.
2:34
SPEAKER_11: Thank you very much for that blast.
2:37
SPEAKER_11: Much appreciated.
2:38
SPEAKER_11: She seemed very kind on a Friday on a Friday morning.
2:41
SPEAKER_11: Yes, very yeah.
2:42
SPEAKER_11: We go from the uh we go from the kind to the stupid.
2:45
SPEAKER_27: This is Eric for Brainerd.
2:46
SPEAKER_27: Wow, so Lisa Davis has betrayed the president and said she wants an end of the Iran war due to increased prices for Minnesota.
2:54
SPEAKER_27: I know Trump doesn't even know who she is, nor did he support her in the primary, but this is insane.
2:58
SPEAKER_11: Let me let me let me stop let me stop here.
3:00
SPEAKER_11: We're gonna talk about this a little bit later on in the hour.
3:03
SPEAKER_11: It's funny, interesting, and then also pathetic how Trump derangement syndrome sufferers, like Mildred, Eric from Brainerd, just go and run with whatever narrative they want to run with that pushes their own personal narrative.
3:20
SPEAKER_11: Now, what Mildred is referring to is that Lisa Damath came out yesterday and said she wants an end to the Iran war because of the energy costs that go along with it.
3:33
SPEAKER_11: And I'm gonna talk in further detail and share with you my thoughts.
3:37
SPEAKER_11: This is not a betrayal of President Donald Trump at all.
3:40
SPEAKER_11: As a matter of fact, it's really clever of Lisa Damath because we all want an end to the Iran War.
3:49
SPEAKER_11: Trump wants an end to the Iran War, but that's not until we achieve our goals.
3:56
SPEAKER_11: Now, Lisa Damath isn't going so far as to say that.
3:59
SPEAKER_11: I will admit that.
4:00
SPEAKER_11: Okay, I wish that she were.
4:02
SPEAKER_11: That being said, she's doing this in an incredibly calculated move to take this argument off the table.
4:11
unknown: Right.
4:11
SPEAKER_11: And it's a smart move.
4:13
SPEAKER_11: We'll get into this a little bit later on.
4:15
SPEAKER_11: And of course, Mildred, because uh his slash her point is so weak, they have to throw in Trump doesn't even know who she is, doesn't even know who she is.
4:25
SPEAKER_22: This is this is just in this is just insane.
4:28
SPEAKER_27: She isn't patriotic and she clearly wants a nuclear Iran to kill us all.
4:32
SPEAKER_27: That's all it works, right, MAGA?
4:33
SPEAKER_27: You're either with us or against us.
4:35
SPEAKER_27: She saw the lowest presidential approval rate in American history and knows she can't spend paying more for everything to stop a war, which Iran was doing nothing to provoke us.
4:43
SPEAKER_27: They don't have nukes, and they weren't close to having a nuke.
4:46
SPEAKER_27: I was in high school when Warhawks said we were weeks away from getting a nuke.
4:49
SPEAKER_27: That was over 20 years ago.
4:51
SPEAKER_27: Give it up, MAGA.
4:52
SPEAKER_27: You picked a loser for president, and now you're gonna give us a democrat Democrat trifecta.
4:57
SPEAKER_27: Can't believe it.
4:58
SPEAKER_27: Thank you.
4:59
SPEAKER_11: No, the only loser is Mildred and their twisted uh thought process.
5:05
SPEAKER_39: I heard Iran personally called Mildred and let them know that they didn't have a nuke.
5:10
SPEAKER_11: Oh, Isaac, I wasn't aware of that.
5:11
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
5:12
SPEAKER_11: That just reframes everything.
5:13
SPEAKER_39: It really should.
5:14
SPEAKER_11: So he is so Mildred personally talked with the Ayatollah.
5:19
SPEAKER_39: Personally talked with the Ayatollah.
5:20
SPEAKER_11: And told, and the Ayatollah told them, hey, we we don't want you to just want to let you know.
5:25
SPEAKER_39: You can let the John Justice show know too.
5:27
SPEAKER_39: We all have a nuke.
5:28
SPEAKER_39: Yeah.
5:29
SPEAKER_11: It's just that we just wanted it for energy.
5:31
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
5:31
SPEAKER_11: That's all that we wanted.
5:32
SPEAKER_11: Except for the fact that every single expert, including interviews that were just done yesterday.
5:37
SPEAKER_11: Uh, as a matter of fact, you had Brett Bear on Fox News sitting down with one of the leaders of Iran.
5:42
SPEAKER_11: But all the experts have all said exactly the same thing.
5:45
SPEAKER_11: That while Iran puts on a good front, they were moments away from obtaining the ability or achieving the ability of creating a a nuclear weapon.
5:54
SPEAKER_11: But that'll never get through the density of the thickness of the skulls that go and hide their very tiny brains, like individuals, like uh like Mildred.
6:07
SPEAKER_14: Rational people that seemingly only live on the right are able to disagree with their political leaders and the people that they support.
6:16
SPEAKER_14: Not everything Trump does we agree with on the right, but we can at least say, hey, this is not gonna be the right decision, but I can still vote for him.
6:26
SPEAKER_14: Tell me a time, Eric from Brainerd, when somebody on the left disagreed with Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, basically any left-wing politician, and didn't just go lockstep with everything that was said.
6:40
SPEAKER_11: Well, I will I just to push back on that a little bit, I will say that um, you know, as far as those on the left uh disagree with Kamala Harris, there are plenty of those on the left that are disagreeing with Kamala Harris, meaning they're disagreeing with her desire to go and help them win in the midterm elections because she's wanted to go and campaign for certain candidates, and they've been like, no, no, no, no, no.
7:02
SPEAKER_11: We're good, we're good, Kamala.
7:04
SPEAKER_11: Kamala, we're we're we're we're fine.
7:07
SPEAKER_11: You you you you you don't need to you don't need to come in and help us out.
7:10
SPEAKER_11: We're both.
7:11
SPEAKER_43: Kamala is kind of a fancy thing.
7:12
SPEAKER_43: It's first of all, it's two letters, it means artificial intelligence.
7:17
SPEAKER_43: But ultimately, what it is is it's about machine learning.
7:20
SPEAKER_43: And so the machine is taught, and part of the issue here is what information is going into Yeah.
7:30
SPEAKER_42: They just don't get it.
7:32
SPEAKER_44: Wow, Mildred or Eric from Brainerd left a common sense comment uh a few days ago.
7:39
SPEAKER_44: One out of a thousand.
7:41
SPEAKER_44: Most people have, or some people have a state of temporary insanity.
7:47
SPEAKER_44: Mildred had a temporary uh state of common sense the other day.
7:54
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, Mildred had left a comment for uh for David Gartenstein Ross the other day.
7:58
SPEAKER_11: I believe that's what the friend of the show uh was uh was referring to.
8:02
SPEAKER_11: All right, this um this comment had rolled in right before the show, and I had no idea that this was actually something that we were going to be talking about to kick the show off uh today.
8:12
SPEAKER_11: So let's go and hear from uh friend of the show, Tommy the Elder.
8:15
SPEAKER_19: Good morning, John.
8:16
SPEAKER_19: It's Tommy the Elder.
8:17
SPEAKER_19: Here's uh Freedom Friday topic for you.
8:20
SPEAKER_19: If there are three genders or more than two genders, why don't languages like French and Spanish, which assign genders to nouns, have other genders assigned?
8:33
SPEAKER_19: Just asking.
8:34
SPEAKER_19: That's a good question.
8:35
SPEAKER_19: Have a good day.
8:36
SPEAKER_19: Thanks.
8:36
SPEAKER_19: Bye.
8:37
SPEAKER_11: Speaking of genders, I don't know if you've seen this.
8:39
SPEAKER_11: I saw it a few days ago.
8:42
SPEAKER_11: And I was I was reluctant.
8:45
SPEAKER_11: Nah, I said reluctance, not the right word.
8:47
SPEAKER_11: I was trying to decide whether or not I wanted to cover it on the show.
8:50
SPEAKER_11: And uh sometimes when you see these videos, they start floating around.
8:53
SPEAKER_11: I kind of wait to see what kind of traction they get if they get any traction.
8:56
SPEAKER_11: Well, subsequently, the story has received some traction and it's now pretty much gone viral.
9:02
SPEAKER_11: As a matter of fact, there is a an article written in the New York Post this morning about this viral clip that's going around.
9:10
SPEAKER_11: So this is an episcopal priest.
9:13
SPEAKER_11: Flourish Klink is their name.
9:15
SPEAKER_11: Isaac, are you familiar with with Flourish Klink?
9:19
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, big fan.
9:21
SPEAKER_11: I I I I seriously doubt that.
9:24
SPEAKER_11: Uh they claimed that Jesus was transgender and God is non-binary during a sermon.
9:31
SPEAKER_11: Klink argued that God, like transgender individuals, was assigned a gender at birth that didn't align with their true self.
9:40
SPEAKER_11: The claims, based on personal theories and interpretations, have been met with criticism and dis and disbelief.
9:47
SPEAKER_11: What's really funny about this, I'm gonna play for you the audio here.
9:50
SPEAKER_11: Um, and there's a lot, there's a lot to be said regarding this.
9:53
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna play for you the audio.
9:55
SPEAKER_11: But what's interesting about this is that the the just on a one one argument against the ridiculous, sacrilegious nonsense you are about to listen to here on the John Justice Show is the fact that this lunatic priest wants to make the claim that Mary assigned Jesus an identity at birth that didn't align with their actual identity and therefore they're trans.
10:20
SPEAKER_11: What's funny about that is that Flourish Clink is essentially going and applying an identity to Jesus.
10:26
SPEAKER_11: So they're doing, they are doing the she is doing the very same thing that she is accusing Mary of doing in their twisted press uh pretzel logic to try to bring some level of relevancy to the issue of gender identity.
10:43
SPEAKER_11: So, to that point, as your comments continue to roll in on the blaster line on a Freedom Friday, here is that Episcopal priest flourish clink and the sermon that has gone viral online.
10:55
SPEAKER_12: God is non-binary.
10:58
SPEAKER_12: God is non-binary, but I'm going to go further than that.
11:01
SPEAKER_12: And I'm going to say God is actually also trans.
11:05
SPEAKER_12: And now let's get on the same page here.
11:08
SPEAKER_12: When we trans people are born.
11:10
SPEAKER_11: Okay, let me let me just- I'm sorry, I just I gotta stop just for just really quick.
11:15
SPEAKER_11: Listen, it's as ridiculous as it is dangerous.
11:18
SPEAKER_11: So there's there's kind of two opposing things here.
11:21
SPEAKER_11: And I'll probably be shifting between the humor and the ridiculousness and the lunacy of all of this and the level of seriousness that is attached to this as well.
11:33
SPEAKER_11: But what's funny to me is that she establishes this baseline up front that has you know absolutely no evidence bearing or legitimacy at all.
11:44
SPEAKER_11: It's like me saying, you know, because I told you earlier that God was a Jedi.
11:51
SPEAKER_11: And therefore moving from that as we look at Jesus, Jesus is clearly a Padawan.
11:57
SPEAKER_11: It's just it may it defies logic, except the logic of the fantasy that they have created.
12:06
SPEAKER_11: Because again, their narratives and their ideologies are so inconsistent, they're so insecure in them that they have to go to these great lengths to try to go and legitimize their belief system.
12:20
SPEAKER_11: The religion that the individuals in this church are being taught, it's not that of the Bible.
12:27
SPEAKER_11: It is that of the LGBTQ plus ideology that the left has gone and turned into a religion.
12:36
SPEAKER_11: They might as well just go ahead and just strip the Bible out altogether and just create their own trans LGBTQ plus version of the scriptures, because that's essentially what they're doing.
12:46
SPEAKER_12: Folks assign us a gender based on what they see.
12:51
SPEAKER_12: Then when we're old enough, we realize that that wasn't right.
12:57
SPEAKER_12: And we're not in our deepest selves the gender that everybody thought we were.
13:01
SPEAKER_12: Right?
13:03
SPEAKER_12: Reasonable working definition of a trans person, yeah?
13:06
SPEAKER_12: Okay, good.
13:09
SPEAKER_12: Alright, here's why God is trans.
13:11
SPEAKER_12: When God, who as we have established, is non-binary, was born in human form as our Lord Jesus Christ, Mary said, Oh, look, a baby boy.
13:27
SPEAKER_12: God isn't a boy.
13:29
SPEAKER_12: We have established this.
13:32
SPEAKER_12: God is beyond boy and girl.
13:35
SPEAKER_11: God, let me just continue, Hurl.
13:39
SPEAKER_11: Let me let me say this, as I have a pause, let me say this for just a moment.
13:42
SPEAKER_11: It's something that most people will not pick up on.
13:45
SPEAKER_11: Unless you you might, but in my opinion, most people aren't gonna pick up on this unless you have, you know, hosted a show, spoken in front of a lot of people before.
13:59
SPEAKER_11: I can tell you that there is no conviction whatsoever in what flourish clink this episcopal priest is espousing behind the pulpit.
14:10
SPEAKER_11: She doesn't even buy into her own sacrilege garbage here.
14:15
SPEAKER_11: You can tell on the way that she is speaking.
14:17
SPEAKER_11: You can tell on the way that she is addressing the crowd, that she has not even bought into her own logic.
14:24
SPEAKER_11: She hasn't, there's no, there is no confidence in what she is talking about whatsoever.
14:28
SPEAKER_11: You can tell on the way that she is speaking, and you can tell on the way that she's working from the notes in front of her.
14:33
SPEAKER_11: This isn't to say that pastors and priests don't use notes when they're conducting sermons.
14:38
SPEAKER_11: Of course, they do.
14:38
SPEAKER_11: Sometimes they even write them all out.
14:40
SPEAKER_11: But typically you have a level of confidence where you can deliver this and go back and forth between the text and between your own your own thought.
14:48
SPEAKER_11: As a host who's been doing this for decades, I can tell you I've been in moments like this.
14:53
SPEAKER_11: I've been in moments where I have been talking about particular issues on the show, and I wasn't quite firm on the take that I wanted to present, the argument that I wanted to make, my instinctive reaction to it.
15:09
SPEAKER_11: I just didn't have a lot of confidence in the content.
15:13
SPEAKER_11: Most people would never pick up on it, but that's absolutely what's happening here because I've been in this spot and I've sounded like this before.
15:20
SPEAKER_11: That's not to say I don't believe what it is that I'm talking about.
15:23
SPEAKER_11: That is to say that I am insecure that the audience listening is going to be able to understand the points that I am trying to articulate.
15:33
SPEAKER_11: She doesn't buy any of this garbage that she is talking about behind the polls.
15:38
SPEAKER_12: God was assigned a gender at birth, and later on it became clear that that gender wasn't quite right.
15:43
SPEAKER_12: So if you're gonna deny God is trans, I think you're gonna be denying the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I have some notes about that.
15:53
SPEAKER_12: When I say that later on, it became clear gender wasn't quite right.
15:58
SPEAKER_12: I mean it.
15:59
SPEAKER_11: By the way, there did you catch there?
16:01
SPEAKER_11: I'm so sorry.
16:02
SPEAKER_11: I just you know, I hate it when other people do this and I'm doing it.
16:04
SPEAKER_11: Did you hear somebody in the background when she says I have notes?
16:07
SPEAKER_11: Somebody in the in the in in the pews was like, I'd appreciate it.
16:14
SPEAKER_11: I don't know what the hell you're talking about, lady.
16:17
SPEAKER_12: We already know.
16:19
SPEAKER_12: Jesus didn't live life exactly the way your average first-century Judean man did, right?
16:25
SPEAKER_12: To the best of our knowledge, he didn't get married.
16:27
SPEAKER_12: We don't know for sure.
16:28
SPEAKER_12: Um he chose to teach and to engage with women in ways that were very unusual.
16:33
SPEAKER_11: That weren't I'm pretty sure that Jesus never got married.
16:37
SPEAKER_11: Isaac, are you are you aware of any any secret marriage that we not that I'm aware of?
16:43
SPEAKER_11: We may not be we may not be aware of it.
16:48
SPEAKER_11: Oh wait, there's more.
16:50
SPEAKER_12: Not the traditionally masculine way that people might be behaving with each other.
16:55
SPEAKER_12: And then Jesus died.
16:58
SPEAKER_12: And Jesus was resurrected.
17:01
SPEAKER_12: And when Jesus was resurrected, Jesus was different.
17:09
SPEAKER_12: Jesus didn't look like himself.
17:13
SPEAKER_12: There was something different about Jesus.
17:16
SPEAKER_12: And now, I will admit the Bible does not tell us what that is.
17:20
SPEAKER_11: So if I guys, guys, I wish you could see the Do you have a camera on?
17:23
SPEAKER_11: Do you have a camera on you, Isaac?
17:25
SPEAKER_11: No, you don't, do you?
17:26
SPEAKER_11: Man, I wish people could see your face right now.
17:29
SPEAKER_39: Unbelievable.
17:30
SPEAKER_11: The stunned look on producer Isaac's face is absolutely, absolutely priceless.
17:36
SPEAKER_12: If anybody says they do know what that is, they are also not telling the truth, and I have some notes for them.
17:42
SPEAKER_12: The Bible doesn't tell us why it is that Jesus' best friends, his disciples, the people who had walked with him to the end of his life, the people who buried him in the tomb when it was politically difficult, who were committed to him still didn't recognize Jesus for a good long time.
18:01
SPEAKER_12: Now I don't know for sure.
18:05
SPEAKER_12: I wasn't there.
18:09
SPEAKER_12: But based on everything else I know about God, I have an idea.
18:14
SPEAKER_12: I think Jesus was resurrected as Jesus' true self, which is beyond male or female.
18:21
SPEAKER_12: I think Jesus was not only transfigured, I think Jesus transitioned.
18:33
SPEAKER_39: I really wish she didn't hit that line about he transitioned right as I took a sip of my drink.
18:38
SPEAKER_39: Oh, very good.
18:39
SPEAKER_39: I almost spit that out.
18:40
SPEAKER_24: Very good.
18:42
SPEAKER_11: So the Alright, first off, let me, before I go further, let me just state something up front.
18:48
SPEAKER_11: Um, before his birth, during his life, and after Jesus rose, he was always referred to as a male.
18:56
SPEAKER_11: You go to Luke, uh, Luke 1, 31 through 32.
19:00
SPEAKER_11: Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear a son and to name him Jesus.
19:04
SPEAKER_11: John 19, 26, behold, woman, behold that your son.
19:08
SPEAKER_11: John 20, he said to them as he was teaching, he said to them, not that you needed to know this, not that you needed to be given the biblical references.
19:19
SPEAKER_11: You know this is nothing but hot garbage.
19:22
SPEAKER_11: But I just wanted to make sure that we established the proper baseline that this woman isn't even following the word of God appropriately and specifically.
19:31
SPEAKER_11: She just completely ignores the scripture altogether to make her ridiculous argument.
19:36
SPEAKER_11: I want to get to some of your thoughts.
19:37
SPEAKER_11: Uh, I got a tech.
19:38
SPEAKER_11: We'll go through the text first.
19:40
SPEAKER_11: Uh does Flourish Kink wear a monocle like her uh great-grandpappy, the colonel?
19:48
SPEAKER_11: Colonel, Colonel Clink for you younger individuals like.
19:52
SPEAKER_11: Oh no, for okay, you're you're aware?
19:54
SPEAKER_11: All right.
19:54
SPEAKER_11: Oh, yeah.
19:54
SPEAKER_11: Uh if she has to ask right, she doesn't believe this garbage.
19:58
SPEAKER_11: It's a good point.
20:00
SPEAKER_11: All I know is that when Christ spoke to God, he referred to him as father, always a paternal reference, not a maternal reference.
20:10
SPEAKER_11: There is no difference between this female pastor and the Lindsay Clancy true crime addicts.
20:16
SPEAKER_45: That's a good take.
20:16
SPEAKER_45: Good.
20:17
SPEAKER_45: That's a really good take, right there.
20:19
SPEAKER_11: Drama-filled delusions filling a meaningless void in their lives.
20:24
SPEAKER_11: She shouldn't be mean uh leading others.
20:28
SPEAKER_11: Somebody else just wrote, doing that thing with my fingers.
20:31
SPEAKER_11: Son of God.
20:33
SPEAKER_11: Somebody typed in that's a besmirch to Colonel Clink.
20:38
SPEAKER_11: All right, first off, on a Freedom Friday.
20:40
SPEAKER_11: Uh again, on and off topic comments all morning long.
20:42
SPEAKER_11: This one came in prior to uh the flourish kink uh conversation.
20:47
SPEAKER_21: Hey John, this is uh Daryl from Udyina.
20:50
SPEAKER_21: I just got a phone call from Iran.
20:52
SPEAKER_21: Um, they wanted you to know that they preferred him to be called flipping Mildred from Brainerd going forward.
20:59
SPEAKER_21: Oh, okay.
21:01
SPEAKER_11: So flipping uh flipping Mildred moving forward.
21:04
SPEAKER_11: Got it.

21:09
SPEAKER_30: Good morning, John.
21:10
SPEAKER_30: Happy Freedom Friday.
21:11
SPEAKER_30: There is a special place in hell for a priest quink doing that thing with my fingers, who stands a bit of pulpit with complete blasphemy.
21:21
SPEAKER_30: It breaks my heart, it's sad and disgusting.
21:24
SPEAKER_30: Have a better day.
21:27
SPEAKER_44: It's obvious that that person's making an idol of God because uh people think of God in human terms, they reuse him down to human terms when they're making an idol of God.
21:52
SPEAKER_20: Uh does this realize he's promoting this?
21:58
SPEAKER_20: I mean I am also a woman.
22:02
SPEAKER_20: Yeah.
22:04
SPEAKER_20: This is not God.
22:05
SPEAKER_20: This is I guess you could say a little G God from before the time of God who he fought against.
22:15
SPEAKER_20: Good boy.
22:17
SPEAKER_11: Alright, so friend of the show Rich, unbeknownst to him, is touching upon something and a point and a broader point that I want to make regarding this uh story.
22:27
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna share with you his comment here in just a moment.
22:32
SPEAKER_11: There is a spiritual war going on right now, and it's a spiritual war that needs to happen.
22:38
SPEAKER_11: There's also a very interesting dynamic in play as it relates to some stories that we talked about yesterday that are almost parallel to what we see happening with this episcopal priest flourish uh flourish flourish flourish clink going viral.
22:57
SPEAKER_11: So I want to get to this coming up in just a moment on the show.
23:00
SPEAKER_11: Keep your comments rolling into the blaster line on a Freedom Friday, 651-964-0294.
23:07
SPEAKER_11: First, I want to remind you that listen, if you need to get service for your home, you need to reach out to Ericsson Plumbing Heating, Air, and Electrical.
23:17
SPEAKER_11: You don't know who you can trust anymore regarding when it comes to service for your home.
23:22
SPEAKER_11: And it's understandable because a lot of these companies you can't trust anymore.
23:25
SPEAKER_11: These local companies, as a matter of fact, I was driving home yesterday.
23:28
SPEAKER_11: I came back here uh to the office in the studios, and we did uh did a podcast with uh with John uh Hinderocker.
23:34
SPEAKER_11: And uh driving home, I actually noticed uh a warehouse, a building uh for one of these companies that's been around Minnesota for decades.
23:44
SPEAKER_11: You think they're local, they're not local anymore.
23:46
SPEAKER_11: They're being run by corporations outside the state, sometimes outside the country.
23:51
SPEAKER_11: Now, it's not a bad anti-corporation, but that local service that you used to get, the quality of service, it's gone.
23:57
SPEAKER_11: That's not the case when it comes to Ericsson plumbing, heating, air, and electrical.
24:00
SPEAKER_11: They're a local family-owned team with licensed experts across all the major trades that are all non-commissioned.

SPEAKER_33: I wonder if this priest has ever heard the word milk.
27:45
SPEAKER_33: Because it would have been better for her to never have an early or have a milk around her nearly children who are in her charge also.
28:01
SPEAKER_33: There's a term it's called grieving the Holy Spirit.
28:07
SPEAKER_33: It just makes me sick.
28:09
SPEAKER_33: We do need to pray for this woman.
28:11
SPEAKER_33: Thanks, John.
28:12
SPEAKER_33: Good show so far.
28:15
SPEAKER_11: I just love the fact you get this really, really serious, biblically accurate comment relating to this sacrilegious lunatic priest.
28:24
SPEAKER_11: Then you wrap it up with a good show so far.
28:27
SPEAKER_11: I just, you know what?
28:28
SPEAKER_11: I love you guys.

SPEAKER_11: You guys are the best.
28:29
SPEAKER_25: Good morning, John.
28:30
SPEAKER_25: This is Matt from Apple Valley.
28:32
SPEAKER_25: Hey Matt.
28:32
SPEAKER_25: We need to trust her because she has notes.
28:35
SPEAKER_11: That's true.
28:36
SPEAKER_19: She has notes.
28:37
SPEAKER_19: Those notes are notes.
28:40
SPEAKER_19: She has notes.
28:42
SPEAKER_11: She does have notes.
28:43
SPEAKER_11: She wants you to know about her notes.
28:45
SPEAKER_11: Somebody says uh it's rather telling how she needs to keep saying, we don't know this for sure.
28:53
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, because that's you know that you know when it comes, I don't know about you guys, right?
28:57
SPEAKER_11: I'm going through a uh right now I'm actually doing uh uh a listen of of the of the Bible.
29:02
SPEAKER_11: Uh just starting with Genesis, I'm using the New King James Version.
29:07
SPEAKER_11: Uh, and uh I'm just working through listening to the to the entire Bible.
29:11
SPEAKER_11: And I don't know if you know this, but I've already realized that when you walk away from listening to the scripture, often it's like, you know, we don't know for sure.
29:17
SPEAKER_11: That's the one thing, you know, when it comes to the Bible.
29:19
SPEAKER_11: It's not very staunch in its convictions and what it and what it is what it espouses.
29:26
SPEAKER_11: Uh right after the sermon, Clink said the Nicene Creed, which calls Jesus fully God and fully man.
29:32
SPEAKER_11: She's not even listening to what she says every week.
29:34
SPEAKER_11: She needs to be excommunicated immediately for blasphemy due to the stupidity.
29:39
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, has anybody ever been excommunicated just over straight stupidity?
29:43
SPEAKER_11: That's a really, really good question.
29:46
SPEAKER_11: Now, um, the rich goes and taps upon something.
29:49
SPEAKER_11: This is what I wanted to get into regarding the story.
29:52
SPEAKER_22: Good morning, John.
29:53
SPEAKER_22: Rich here.
29:54
SPEAKER_22: Happy Friday, everybody.
29:56
SPEAKER_22: I can't believe we went from finding Noah's Ark to this rewriting of the Bible by a lunatic.
30:05
SPEAKER_22: And there's a reason why someone recorded her and put it all publicly.
30:10
SPEAKER_22: Because it's clearly disturbing the mental illness that she has as a person of the cloth.
30:19
SPEAKER_11: Now I'm glad that Rich brought up Noah's Ark because I need some help from you listening this morning.
30:26
SPEAKER_11: And I'm speaking to you who are probably closer to my age.
30:31
SPEAKER_11: And I want to see if you can't help me out with something.
30:34
SPEAKER_11: Driving in to work today, I'm thinking about the stories that we're that we're covering.
30:39
SPEAKER_11: Uh, I do have an update on the uh what they believe is the discovery of Noah's Ark, right?
30:45
SPEAKER_11: And this is now getting national attention.
30:48
SPEAKER_11: They've actually gone and sent a probe down inside where they're getting samples back, and they're actually getting samples back showing that there is wood, petrified wood, that's down in this location on Mount Ararat, where they believe uh is the final resting place of Noah's Ark.
31:03
SPEAKER_11: It's incredible.
31:03
SPEAKER_11: Uh, we also have, and I'll share the audio with you, uh, Sean Hannity on his Hangout podcast uh had on a couple of individuals.
31:11
SPEAKER_11: We played audio earlier this week of one uh one individual who went on his podcast talking about his grandfather who on his deathbed said we weren't alone.
31:19
SPEAKER_11: Sean Hannity had Dylan Borland, he is the whistleblower, um, military member of our military talking about the existence of extraterrestrials.
31:27
SPEAKER_11: I bring all this up because for those of you, so I'm 54 years old, so for those of you who have saved like probably like 45 to older than me and up, you might remember this.
31:37
SPEAKER_11: But what I find fascinating about what's happening right now is that when I was younger, these were all like topics that were within the cultural zeitgeist zeitgeist, way before the internet.
31:51
SPEAKER_11: I remember specifically growing up talking about UFOs, talking about the search for Noah's Ark, talking about religion more often than we than we are.
32:03
SPEAKER_11: And I don't know what the correlation is.
32:06
SPEAKER_11: Back when I was a kid, a lot of this stuff was sort of resigned to tabloid journalism.
32:11
SPEAKER_11: But when you go back to the to the to the mid-80s, to the late 80s, and even into the early 90s, these were all major topics of discussion within our culture pre-internet that we kind of have moved away from.
32:24
SPEAKER_11: And suddenly now, decades upon decades later, here we are talking about these.
32:30
SPEAKER_11: And I'm for the sake of the conversation, we'll just call them legends, right?
32:33
SPEAKER_11: I don't believe that Noah's Ark was a legend, but for the sake of the conversation, we're now having these discussions surrounding these legends that we talked about back in my youth.
32:44
SPEAKER_11: We're getting close to perhaps hearing more of the truth about these legends.
32:49
SPEAKER_11: It's just really interesting to me.
32:51
SPEAKER_11: What's old is new again, and I don't know what the correlation is.
32:54
SPEAKER_11: I don't know if there's a societal correlation of the divisions that we're faced with right now, especially when it comes to religion that might be bringing these issues to the forefront, because both Noah's arc, obviously, but also the potential existence of um, you know, uh extraterrestrial intelligence, something beyond our own understanding.
33:13
SPEAKER_11: You know, there's also religious implications to that as well.
33:16
SPEAKER_11: I would love to hear if you have your own thoughts or theories or want to share what I was sharing, and that is how these were topics of discussion when I was a kid, and suddenly now I'm talking about them decades later.
33:30
SPEAKER_11: I just find the whole thing really interesting.
33:33
SPEAKER_11: Now, with that, let me add another element to this.
33:37
SPEAKER_11: There is a spiritual battle going on.
33:39
SPEAKER_11: Yesterday, we were talking about the Minneapolis City Council and their pushback on the autonomous vehicles, the Waymo vehicles.
33:50
SPEAKER_11: Completely irrational, completely ridiculous, right?
33:53
SPEAKER_11: They are on the city uh council.
33:56
SPEAKER_11: They're putting forward a quasi-ban on these autonomous vehicles through Waymo, wanting to have a paid person sit in the driverless car.
34:04
SPEAKER_11: They're trying to protect the interests of their fellow commie comrades supporters.
34:09
SPEAKER_11: But in doing so, they inadvertently exposed that rideshare companies deal with a fairly common issue of rapes and assaults directly tied to ride sharing.
34:19
SPEAKER_11: I had no idea this was the case.
34:21
SPEAKER_11: Driver and passengers alike.
34:24
SPEAKER_11: Info that was not widely reported until you had this irrational attempt to put a ban in through these directives of requiring an individual to sit inside these autonomous vehicles, right?
34:38
SPEAKER_11: Wherein the problem being solved by the autonomous vehicle is now exacerbated by banning a mode of transportation that would have dramatically reduced the rideshare crimes taking place.
34:49
SPEAKER_11: There was an editorial writer that we shared yesterday on the show.
34:52
SPEAKER_11: Make sure you go and listen to the podcast who was talking about this very thing.
34:56
SPEAKER_11: And so it goes for the twisted way that leftists apply their woke, progressive, and radical gender ideology to religion.
35:04
SPEAKER_11: Now there is a vocal and visual pushback to counter the sacrilege within our leftist progressive churches that is really doing Satan's work by poisoning the minds of those sitting in the pews of these churches.
35:17
SPEAKER_11: To this point, testimony from one of the most unlikeliest of sources?
35:24
SPEAKER_11: Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, on his podcast, he posted this on his own account, taken from his podcast in his own words.
35:36
SPEAKER_08: Uh I'm a Christian as well.
35:38
SPEAKER_08: And and I have talked at different times.
35:41
SPEAKER_08: Uh and on some level, you're being out.
35:45
SPEAKER_08: I at some point I made the own my own personal decision that I was going to be willing to talk about God in a way that I know most people in my generation do not talk about God in music.
35:54
SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
35:54
SPEAKER_18: Wow.
35:55
SPEAKER_08: I even once said to Rolling Stone that God is the third rail of rock and roll.
35:59
SPEAKER_08: I read that.
36:01
SPEAKER_08: If you talk about God, you know, you might as well throw your career down the hole.
36:05
SPEAKER_08: And I made the By the way, he's talking with the lead singer of Striper.
36:09
SPEAKER_08: So the Christian rock group.
36:11
SPEAKER_08: And I made the decision that I was going to talk about God honestly, at least God in my life, or believing in Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
36:19
SPEAKER_08: And if and if it was gonna hurt me, I didn't care.
36:22
SPEAKER_08: I can't be willing to be honest with who I am.
36:25
SPEAKER_08: Well, what am I asking a fan to believe in?
36:30
SPEAKER_11: It's pretty incredible.
36:32
SPEAKER_11: I never would have expected to hear testimony coming out of an individual like Billy Corgan.
36:40
SPEAKER_11: Now, I know in your world, you listening, you may not have any sort of emotional connection, um, and there may not be much relevancy to Billy Corgan when I say that name.
36:53
SPEAKER_11: You might not be familiar with him.
36:54
SPEAKER_11: He is to me.
36:55
SPEAKER_11: When I got started in my radio career, I was working in music radio and I was working specifically in alternative music.
37:02
SPEAKER_11: And in alternative music, I mean, there was a time period during the 90s where in the smashing pumpkins would have been akin to a certain portion of the young population to the way the Beatles were to an older generation or the Rolling Stones.
37:19
SPEAKER_11: That's how important Billy Corgan was.
37:22
SPEAKER_11: You know, I mean, it's right up there with Nirvana, Kirk Cobain, and the and the and and the like.
37:26
SPEAKER_11: So to have an individual who was such a huge part of my upbringing, the music that I listened to, somebody that I never in a million years would have thought all these decades later would be coming out on his podcast and talking about him being a Christian, and then referencing it back to his time in rock and how you'd be ostracized for doing so.
37:48
SPEAKER_11: I say all of this because it's a really, really interesting juxtaposition between what we see with this episcopal priest flourished Klink, who is supposed to be within religion, supposed to be within religious circles, and the spiritual battle that's now being waged where you have individuals who usually would have been specifically aligned with secular society out there espousing their own belief in Christianity.
38:14
SPEAKER_11: The spiritual war is on right now.
38:16
SPEAKER_11: I'm glad it's taking place, it needs to take place, but it is happening in a way that I certainly did not uh did not imagine.
38:22
SPEAKER_39: Yeah, you kind of just made uh the point I was gonna make there at the end.
38:25
SPEAKER_39: It's very cool how in religion, you know, maybe this priest, because she stands up at the pulpit and wears, you know, the cloth and you know preaches.
38:35
SPEAKER_39: In religion, it's like, oh, she's the more religious one rather than the rock band, right?
38:39
SPEAKER_39: You know, lead singer.
38:41
SPEAKER_39: And how got how God just uses that.
38:43
SPEAKER_39: I mean, that's super cool.
38:44
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it's so cool.
38:45
SPEAKER_11: It's pretty, it's pretty incredible.
38:47
SPEAKER_11: It's pretty incredible to see happen.
38:49
SPEAKER_11: Speaking of incredible, I think he's incredible.
38:51
SPEAKER_11: I bet his wife and kids do too.
38:53
SPEAKER_11: Representative Max Reimer.
38:54
SPEAKER_11: Oh.
38:55
SPEAKER_11: What's up, buddy?
38:56
SPEAKER_11: What's going on?
38:57
SPEAKER_11: How you doing?
38:58
SPEAKER_11: I'm here.
38:58
SPEAKER_11: Did you hear flourish clink and her talking about God being trans?
39:02
SPEAKER_11: I did hear this.
39:03
SPEAKER_10: Yes.
39:04
SPEAKER_10: I did hear this.
39:06
SPEAKER_10: Uh this it reminds me of the what was it, the sparkle creed from a few years ago that we covered on the old show?
39:14
SPEAKER_11: Oh, the sparkle creed.
39:16
SPEAKER_11: I missed the sparkle creed.
39:17
SPEAKER_10: We got some we got some really special churches here.
39:20
SPEAKER_10: I missed the sparkle.
39:21
SPEAKER_10: Minnesota.
39:22
SPEAKER_11: Had a couple of comments that rolled in uh based off of what I was saying about how, and again, I don't expect that Isaac or Max are Max, maybe.
39:30
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
39:31
SPEAKER_11: Do you remember having when you were a kid the topic of UFOs and Noah's Ark and the search for Noah's Ark being prominent within culture?
39:39
SPEAKER_11: I think that you were right out of the age window for when that was taking place in our society.
39:43
SPEAKER_10: No, I yeah, I don't think I don't think that I it it was a big the I I remember what what is the place called in Kentucky that uh the ham The Creation Museum.
39:56
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
39:56
SPEAKER_10: Like I remember being younger and that that being created where they had like a life-size or they still have like a life-size version of Noah's Ark there.
40:05
SPEAKER_10: But no, I don't remember it being like a huge UFOs have always been a big deal, but I don't remember the hunt for Noah's Ark being a thing.
40:12
SPEAKER_11: Uh let's go to a few of your uh comments that have uh that have rolled into the blaster line.
40:16
SPEAKER_11: 651-964-0294.
40:19
SPEAKER_20: Noah's Ark was always kind of a big thing, but would make sense that back around the time you were born, I was born in 71.
40:26
SPEAKER_20: That would be big because that was still fresh to the creation of Israel.
40:31
SPEAKER_20: So you've got the rise of Israel, which is a pretty big uh milestone.
40:38
SPEAKER_20: So people were talking about a lot of the thing.
40:40
SPEAKER_20: And then you bring all the other course of Roswell close to that in time.
40:44
SPEAKER_20: Everything's kind of taken off, but I think we're coming to a another turning point, I guess, virtually in this country.
40:52
SPEAKER_20: And that's why it's all coming up.
40:55
SPEAKER_20: That's why we have this massive transgender thing, and it's like we've got the bad guys call them the the old gods, call them the demons, call them the Nephilim, whatever you want to call them.
41:06
SPEAKER_20: The old principalities are fighting with you know with God, and spiritual warfare is being waged.
41:13
SPEAKER_11: That's a really good point.
41:14
SPEAKER_11: You know what?
41:14
SPEAKER_11: And it's something that I hadn't considered, and I was sort of sort of formulating this thought when when I go back, because I was born in 72.
41:22
SPEAKER_11: And I guess I don't think in terms of the proximity of history to the time that I was born and how much closer in that moment going back to the late 70s, early 80s I was to those previous events and specifically with Israel, as opposed to to now.
41:40
SPEAKER_11: I think it's coming into prominence now, obviously, because technology has brought us to a place where when it's something like Nora's Ark, it just happens to be resurgent within our news media, we may have evidence of it.
41:51
SPEAKER_11: But he makes a really, really good point just in terms of the the timeline of uh of history and why these things are back in uh back in vogue in terms of our discussion.
42:00
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I'm doing some mental math here, so the the blast line can correct me if I'm wrong, but the time between when Israel was created and John, when you were born, that was a shorter time period, almost I I think by far, right, than when you were born and right now.
42:18
SPEAKER_10: Sure.
42:18
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:19
SPEAKER_10: So time is a really interesting thing too, because you think about the creation of Israel, you think about forever ago, but but it wasn't that long ago.
42:28
SPEAKER_11: Somebody just wrote in, you hit the nail on the head when you said there was a spiritual war uh going on.
42:33
SPEAKER_11: And it and there and there is.
42:35
SPEAKER_11: And I do appreciate the fact that it's now up on the surface.
42:40
SPEAKER_11: It's not being, you know, waged underneath.
42:42
SPEAKER_11: It's now, you know, it's now coming into prominence.
42:45
SPEAKER_11: And I really do believe that when it that one thing is affecting the other.
42:49
SPEAKER_11: You have these lunatics like this flourish clink coming out, and you see this time and time again, especially here in Minnesota with the progressive uh churches.
42:57
SPEAKER_11: I just get saddened when I drive by those churches and I see all of the doors painted in the rainbow, in the rainbow with the trans flag hanging out in front.
43:06
SPEAKER_11: You just kind of go, my gosh, just lost souls.
43:09
SPEAKER_11: But it is prompting and encouraging members of, I'll just say for the sake of commentary, members of secular society, you know, rock stars, past rock stars like Billy Corgan to come out and be more open and honest about their own the their own their own religious beliefs.
43:26
SPEAKER_11: It's pretty incredible to see happen.
43:27
SPEAKER_11: It's crazy.
43:28
SPEAKER_11: Uh, another comment that rolled in.
43:30
SPEAKER_11: Um, on the topic of aliens, whatever happened to crop circles?
43:33
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I don't know.
43:34
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
43:35
SPEAKER_11: Anybody have an answer to crop circles?
43:36
SPEAKER_11: I don't.
43:37
SPEAKER_11: I haven't seen a good crop circle lately.
43:39
SPEAKER_11: No, I haven't either.
43:40
SPEAKER_11: They didn't do a very good job in disclosure.
43:41
SPEAKER_11: That movie was disappointing.
43:42
SPEAKER_11: I enjoyed it.
43:42
SPEAKER_11: I want to watch it again, but just I've never seen it.
43:44
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
43:45
SPEAKER_11: It was it's worth a watch.
43:46
SPEAKER_11: It's worth a watch, is it?
43:47
SPEAKER_18: Hey, good morning, John Max.
43:49
SPEAKER_18: Happy Freedom Friday.
43:51
SPEAKER_18: Alex from El Forever.
43:53
SPEAKER_18: I uh Max mo mentioned the uh we got lots of weird churches in in Minnesota.
44:00
SPEAKER_18: Have you heard the one in Woodbury?
44:02
SPEAKER_18: I'm pretty sure this so called priest, which is a slap in the face to those of Catholicism.
44:08
SPEAKER_18: But um the so-called priest uh she probably belongs to the church of the big mommy milkers in Woodbury.
44:15
SPEAKER_18: Should look that place up.
44:17
SPEAKER_11: What?
44:18
SPEAKER_11: You know what?
44:18
SPEAKER_11: I'm unfamiliar and I'm just gonna move right on from that.
44:21
SPEAKER_11: I'm just gonna move let's go over here to a friend of the show whose commentary that I think I can trust more.
44:28
SPEAKER_32: You know what's really intriguing is the fact that there are people sitting in the cave listening to the code called after that about that.
44:44
SPEAKER_32: Like what is going through their head, and how can they even think they're listening to this?
44:52
SPEAKER_32: I could probably like not everybody locked out.
44:55
SPEAKER_32: Anyway.
45:06
SPEAKER_10: No, they're there for the reason.
45:08
SPEAKER_10: They're there for a reason.
45:10
SPEAKER_10: They they obviously agree with whatever warped theology that that priest was going with.
45:18
SPEAKER_10: But what I will just say is we also have some rock solid churches in Minnesota too.
45:23
SPEAKER_10: I think it gets easy to to get cynical about this state and the people in it and what they actually believe.
45:29
SPEAKER_10: And John, you're right.
45:30
SPEAKER_10: You you drive through the metro and it's like, man, what does that church actually believe?
45:35
SPEAKER_10: Where there's more rainbow flags outside than there are crosses.
45:38
SPEAKER_10: And at the same time, I look at what was happening in 2020, 2021 during COVID.
45:46
SPEAKER_10: You had our Catholic diocese lead the way in reopening the state.
45:50
SPEAKER_10: You had a number of churches who said, we're not going to, we obviously want to give to Caesar what is Caesar's, but we also have a uh a spiritual dictate to to reopen the churches.
46:02
SPEAKER_10: There's a lot of at the same time that there's a lot of chaos in bad churches, there's a lot of spiritual revival happening here in Minnesota, too.
46:11
SPEAKER_28: Friend of the show, Kevin.
46:13
SPEAKER_28: I remember it's got to be 10-15 years ago now, there was a major denomination that had their national convention in Minneapolis.
46:21
SPEAKER_28: That was the time when they were deciding whether they were gonna have lesbians in the public area.
46:30
SPEAKER_28: I you remember a storm coming up right at the time of a vote that they were gonna take.
46:38
SPEAKER_28: The storm came up out of nowhere, and after they both voted to approve the lesbians, God actually pushed a fire from one of their major churches and took it from a straight-up fire to one pointing to H E double hell.
47:00
SPEAKER_11: You could say hell on you can say hell on the streaming show.
47:02
SPEAKER_11: We're good.
47:05
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I think it meant H E H E double hockey sticks, I think what he was uh what he was going for.
47:10
SPEAKER_39: And he just gave up.
47:11
SPEAKER_11: I had not I have not heard that story though.
47:13
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I had I have not heard uh I have not heard that one either.
47:16
SPEAKER_11: Somebody did mention that back in the 80s, Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock, obviously for them, right?
47:21
SPEAKER_11: He was hosting an In Search of series, and a big part of that was was Noah's Ark.
47:25
SPEAKER_11: And I think I had a book.
47:27
SPEAKER_11: You need to talk to my dad about this.

SPEAKER_26: Good morning, John.
49:30
SPEAKER_26: I've had a theory for a lot of years about the different types of churches, what they're promoting, what they're doing.
49:36
SPEAKER_26: And with what we've seen as far as terrorism, moss you name it.
49:42
SPEAKER_26: I truly believe they are not a nonprofit.
49:46
SPEAKER_26: You look at the size of some of them and what they are, and then you look at some of the smaller ones.
49:52
SPEAKER_26: It's just a money funnel.
49:55
SPEAKER_26: So in order to avoid that, I think they should be attacked.
50:01
SPEAKER_26: I think they should be looked at, and then we'll know who's there for the religious reason and who's there for the propaganda reason.
50:10
SPEAKER_26: Thank you.
50:10
SPEAKER_11: Thank you for the comment.

50:18
SPEAKER_11: Max Reimer joins us in studio on a Freedom Friday, and we are very pleased to welcome first time on a Freedom Friday, but not the first time here on the uh John Justice show.
50:26
SPEAKER_11: Uh, we have Amanda Lamar, a Turning Point USA family's uh chapter president out of Apple Valley.
50:31
SPEAKER_11: Good morning, Amanda.
50:32
SPEAKER_11: Thank you so much for joining us today.
50:34
SPEAKER_46: Good morning.
50:34
SPEAKER_46: Thanks for having me.
50:35
SPEAKER_11: You know, it's interesting as we sort of move away from this discussion of the spiritual warfare taking place.
50:40
SPEAKER_11: I just want to make one more comment.
50:42
SPEAKER_11: And it relates a bit to uh, you know, Amanda and your work with Turning Point USA.
50:46
SPEAKER_11: You had joined us on the show a couple of weeks back, ahead of the event that you had, the tribute to the one year since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
50:56
SPEAKER_11: And, you know, I think we would be remiss if we didn't bring up um just what a champion of Christianity Charlie Kirk was, you know, and I think it's part of the reason why he was why he was targeted.
51:08
SPEAKER_11: You know, he was out there fearless speaking with college students, and not just college students, but to anybody he could speak to um about his own belief system, but specifically his own rooted belief in God and and Christianity.
51:22
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, that was something, you know, when before he died, I didn't really follow his work super closely.
51:28
SPEAKER_46: But once I started listening to him, I was surprised at, especially in the last couple years, how often he was bringing up his faith.
51:36
SPEAKER_46: He was just talking about it so much more.
51:38
SPEAKER_46: Um and then I heard him say that after COVID and when he saw all the churches shut down because of government intervention in the church, that's what really motivated him to get involved and start turning point faith and just try to get churches to, I guess, teach what the Bible's actually saying and not submit to what's cool in culture or popular in culture.
52:02
SPEAKER_46: So yeah, it would it's just so sad that we lost of such an important voice and someone who was really standing up for the faith.
52:11
SPEAKER_46: And I I keep telling people he was confident in his beliefs because he stood on the truth of the Bible, and he he wasn't going in with his own ideas.
52:20
SPEAKER_46: He was just saying, I believe what the Bible says.
52:22
SPEAKER_46: Here's scripture to support what I what what it's saying, and this is the truth, instead of saying, like, let's all just believe whatever we want to believe and we're all wise in our own eyes, as the Bible says.
52:35
SPEAKER_11: You know, and it seemed it it appeared to me too that he he gained a lot more confidence in talking about his faith, you know, throughout the years.
52:42
SPEAKER_11: And I can understand that.
52:43
SPEAKER_11: I mean, I've never I've never hidden my faith on the show, but if you listen to any if you've been listening to to me for any length of time, even going back to when I was in in Tucson, um, you could probably track how much more open I became in my faith as I got as I got older.
53:01
SPEAKER_11: And I think there's a through line between my being more vocal in my in my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
53:08
SPEAKER_11: There's a there's a parallel line that tracks with the way the society is going, much in the same way of what happened with uh with Charlie Kirk.
53:15
SPEAKER_11: Uh let's go here.
53:16
SPEAKER_11: So if you guys didn't hear reporters from three news outlets banned from the White House uh by President Donald Trump, we're back on the grounds Thursday afternoon after the federal judge ordered the administration to reinstate their uh their access.
53:28
SPEAKER_11: Although Trump did still go and block their access during uh President G's uh visit during their time uh together.
53:35
SPEAKER_11: Uh, this whole thing I just find incredibly comical, just considering the fact that here is the mainstream media that constantly is deviating away from when Trump does national addresses, not carrying speeches that he made, and yet they get all up in arms over losing specific, just special access uh to the uh to the White House.
53:55
SPEAKER_11: It will be interesting to see, you know, what the judge, what ultimately the higher courts end up saying regarding whether or not Trump can or cannot ban uh these uh this uh this media from the White House.
54:06
SPEAKER_10: It's so funny that these federal judges inject themselves into every issue.
54:12
SPEAKER_10: And I think we we knew that Trump coming in in 2024, there was going to be law affair, but we're talking about federal judges doing things like overturning the ballroom or trying to pause the reflecting pool in Washington, D.C., or trying to reinstate specific media members.
54:30
SPEAKER_10: It's like, man, you you think about this administration, you think about how bogged down it's gotten in a lot of different issues, and that being one of them, you think about what this administration well is currently, but could be had had it not been for the lawfare of federal judges stepping in on literally every single thing from deportations to tariffs to this media thing that we're talking about to the reflecting pool to the the ballroom.
54:57
SPEAKER_10: It's like there was just a mission that went out as soon as Trump won in 2024 for some of these liberal judges.
55:03
SPEAKER_10: And I I don't know what case law they're relying on to reinstate specific media members, but it's just another example of how they have gummed up the works and there's judicial supremacy in the United States of America right now.
55:18
SPEAKER_10: Amanda, you have thoughts on this?
55:20
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, I'll just say it's incredible that Trump can get anything done with how much they are trying to block him.
55:25
SPEAKER_46: I mean, ever since I mean in 2016, in the very beginning, everything he did, they tried to they just always try to put something in his way.
55:33
SPEAKER_46: And this is kind of why it's necessary for him to have that pit bull style.
55:39
SPEAKER_11: You know, it's funny to me too.
55:41
SPEAKER_11: I heard somebody else make this comment and I hadn't thought about it this way.
55:44
SPEAKER_11: But at this point, like who decides what is press and what isn't press anymore?
55:48
SPEAKER_11: Like you used to exactly it used to be a lot more objective, right?
55:52
SPEAKER_11: It was it was it was clear there there was no there was no question.
55:56
SPEAKER_11: There used to not be a question, and I guess I'm going back to you know my youth again.
55:59
SPEAKER_11: You got to go back a while, but there used to not be any question.
56:02
SPEAKER_11: That is a journalist, this is press, this is media.
56:05
SPEAKER_11: Now those lines are so completely blurred at this point in time that it's hard to even go and say, you know, what constitutes this press is in journalism anymore.
56:16
SPEAKER_10: Well, I even wonder if the John Justice show wanted a press credential and but you were entitled to it.
56:23
SPEAKER_10: Is a is a federal judge going to defend your right to get into the White House to interview the president?
56:28
SPEAKER_10: Because you're right.
56:29
SPEAKER_10: Media is so decentralized now that you look at the average ratings for a CNN show or an MSNBC show or MS Now or whatever it's called, and it's like obviously that is the media you grew up with.
56:42
SPEAKER_10: It's the media I grew up with.
56:44
SPEAKER_10: It the only thing that you could watch was what's on television, but I don't know.
56:49
SPEAKER_10: Uh let's Isaac, let's try to get a press credential and see if a federal judge will defend your right to even in the Capitol.
56:58
SPEAKER_11: Let's see if Walls welcomes us in.
57:00
SPEAKER_11: I don't want a press credential.
57:01
SPEAKER_11: I don't want to be considered that.
57:02
SPEAKER_11: I know I I do.
57:03
SPEAKER_11: I know, I know.
57:04
SPEAKER_11: Oh, you can.
57:04
SPEAKER_11: That's fine.
57:05
SPEAKER_11: Something put on your resume.
57:06
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, totally.
57:07
SPEAKER_11: Sounds like you never use that.
57:08
SPEAKER_11: It just sounds like it's more stuff I have to do, and I don't want to have to do that.
57:11
SPEAKER_10: So Well, I did the did this federal judge what I mean, do we have any opinion or why they did it or what the the reason was?
57:19
SPEAKER_11: The rationale, the rationale they gave was, and this is typical of how these activist judges have been operating.
57:26
SPEAKER_11: They found like one particular loophole and they tried to use that as an excuse.
57:30
SPEAKER_11: So my understanding was that there was a timing issue regarding when Trump issued the the memo or the memorandum saying that the journalists couldn't come and and couldn't um appear at the White House.
57:44
SPEAKER_11: And along with this, they were challenging President there was the letters, the timing of the letters and when the media was told, and then there was this argument of that the White House made regarding the potential classified information that could be given out and what was classified and what wasn't classified information.
58:02
SPEAKER_11: It was really, really flimsy.
58:05
SPEAKER_11: And it was flimsy because there is no constitutional right that the press has to the access specifically to the White House.
58:14
SPEAKER_11: Right.
58:15
SPEAKER_11: It wasn't in the Constitution.
58:17
SPEAKER_11: And so I don't think this is going to hold up.
58:19
SPEAKER_11: And this was a Trump-appointed judge, but typically, as I've said, I think those that are, you know, aligned with the right suffering from Trump derangement syndrome are often worse than those on the left who are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.
58:30
SPEAKER_11: But it was a really, really flimsy, flimsy argument.
58:33
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, there's nothing in the Constitution that says CNN must be allowed into the White House.
58:37
SPEAKER_11: I would imagine, Amanda, you could probably be considered pressed just because of your being aligned with Turning Point USA.
58:42
SPEAKER_11: Have you tried?
58:44
SPEAKER_46: I have not.
58:45
SPEAKER_46: Uh I definitely don't think I would know the best questions to ask the president, but I do find it interesting.
58:50
SPEAKER_46: I heard just the other day Caroline Levitt was being interviewed and she said, like, random French reporters from small little French magazines have his phone number.
58:59
SPEAKER_46: So I don't know how any of these media companies can say that they they need more access to him.
59:05
SPEAKER_46: He's like the most I mean, can you imagine Joe Biden taking a phone call at 3 a.m.
59:10
SPEAKER_46: from a random French report?
59:11
SPEAKER_46: Like it never would never happen.
59:12
SPEAKER_10: I couldn't imagine Joe Biden taking a phone call at 2 p.m.
59:18
SPEAKER_10: Snap time.
59:19
SPEAKER_10: Snap time for Joe.
59:20
SPEAKER_11: Let's officially usher in uh hour two here on the John Justice Show on a uh freedom project.
59:59

1:00:34
SPEAKER_11: Well, yeah, it's not all of us that are alarmed.

1:00:41
SPEAKER_11: Actually, no, I was up at 2 o'clock this morning.
1:00:42
SPEAKER_11: So I've been up for I've already I think I've been I think I've already been awake longer than most people spend awake during the day.
1:00:50
SPEAKER_10: I think it's safe to do that.
1:00:50
SPEAKER_10: I will just say for me, it's been a week, okay?
1:00:53
SPEAKER_10: Because we my company, we host an annual marketing conference.

SPEAKER_10: Usually it's in Florida.

SPEAKER_10: So we were there from I was there from Saturday until Wednesday, and it was a great time, but kind of you get back into the week and you're trying to get back in the swing of things, and I'm catching up on sleep.
1:01:13
SPEAKER_11: So Alright, I'll warm up.
1:01:15
SPEAKER_11: Not trying to give you a hard time, just making sure my friend's okay.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_39: No offense Boise, Idaho, but that's kind of a bummer switch.
1:01:21
SPEAKER_10: No, no, Boise was it's a sweet city.
1:01:26
SPEAKER_11: So isn't Boise enough isn't Boise where they typically Well, hold on, before I get back to Boise, let me uh maybe introduce the other guest in studio.
1:01:32
SPEAKER_11: Uh Amanda Lamar, Turning Point USA family's uh chapter president out of uh Apple Valley.
1:01:37
SPEAKER_11: We're very pleased to have her in on a Freedom Friday.
1:01:39
SPEAKER_11: Thank you so much for joining us.
1:01:40
SPEAKER_46: Happy to be here.
1:01:41
SPEAKER_46: How long have you been with Turning Point USA again now?
1:01:44
SPEAKER_46: I want to say like five weeks.
1:01:46
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
1:01:46
SPEAKER_11: Very new.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_11: Wow.
1:01:48
SPEAKER_46: Yeah.
1:01:48
SPEAKER_46: Yeah.
1:01:48
SPEAKER_46: I mean, I'm not new to like politics and paying attention to all this stuff, but yeah, I had been looking for a way to get involved for quite a while.
1:01:56
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, and talk a little bit about that again.
1:01:58
SPEAKER_11: I know we we discussed it a bit when you were on promoting the Charlie Kirk event uh a few weeks back, but uh give us the uh the the reason why you ended up joining with a Turning Point USA.
1:02:09
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, so I mean I I would say it kind of starts like 10 years ago.
1:02:13
SPEAKER_46: That's when I started getting more involved into just paying attention to what was going on when I was in college and went through some crazy things at the University of Iowa where I went to school and worked for um I worked as a resident assistant.
1:02:27
SPEAKER_46: That's how I was kind of paying for part of my way through school, and just had a very, very liberal boss, very crazy experience.
1:02:36
SPEAKER_46: I kind of told that story the last time I was on here, but um went through just a lot of being told certain things like I issues because I'm white and the I can't speak because I'm white, things like that.
1:02:48
SPEAKER_46: And I and then when Charlie died, I remember thinking back to that and saying, wow, if there was a turning point chapter on my campus at that time, how different would my experience have been if I had a group that I could just go go talk to about these things?
1:03:01
SPEAKER_46: But because I didn't really have anybody, I just kind of kept my head down and tried to survive and get paid and get through that.
1:03:09
SPEAKER_46: So um then when turning point communities started, uh I think it started just in June this year, they get kind of soft launched and then hard launched in August.
1:03:18
SPEAKER_46: And I just saw them online, signed up.
1:03:20
SPEAKER_46: They called me like an hour later, had a short interview, and they're like, You're perfect for this.
1:03:24
SPEAKER_46: You should start a chapter.
1:03:25
SPEAKER_46: And I said, Okay.
1:03:26
SPEAKER_46: And then they're like, You should do a vigil as your first event.
1:03:30
SPEAKER_46: That we're kind of encouraging everyone to do that.
1:03:31
SPEAKER_46: And I used to be a wedding planner, so I thought they meant have a thousand-person event, like shoot for that.
1:03:37
SPEAKER_46: And then and they were like, Well, we kind of meant you could even just do a watch party at somebody's house, and it ended up being a bigger thing, and it was fun.
1:03:45
SPEAKER_46: So I just kind of start doing stuff when people tell me to.
1:03:48
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, we had a policy fellow come out to uh to your event, and uh unbeknownst to him with your appearance on the show, he had come back to talk about the event and had mentioned you, and I was like, Well, hey, we had her on the show recently, and she's gonna be joining us on a Freedom Friday.
1:04:04
SPEAKER_11: So we're very pleased to have you here this morning.
1:04:06
SPEAKER_11: I'll also uh making her way in, we'll let her slide on in.
1:04:09
SPEAKER_11: Catherine Johnson, she'll be taking a seat here in the uh comfy chair next to Amanda, as we also wait the arrival of uh AK Kamara.
1:04:16
SPEAKER_11: Uh, let's go here.
1:04:18
SPEAKER_11: Interesting move by GOP candidate Lisa Damath overnight.
1:04:22
SPEAKER_11: The GOP gubernatorial candidate.
1:04:24
SPEAKER_11: We had uh Mildred had uh made a comment about this earlier this morning, uh Eric from Brainerd.
1:04:29
SPEAKER_11: Um Lisa Damoth called for an end to the U.S.-Iran war, citing rising food and gas prices.
1:04:36
SPEAKER_11: Damoth's stance contrasts, according to the article in front of me, I think I got this from Fox 9, um, with the Trump administration and her primary challenger, Mike Lindell, who was endorsed by Trump.
1:04:47
SPEAKER_11: It makes me laugh that Mike Lindell is completely irrelevant to all of this now, is no longer a factor at all, and yet the article could not help but go and spike him in multiple times, by the way.
1:04:56
SPEAKER_11: Can I say that up front?
1:04:58
SPEAKER_11: In a break from the Trump administration, according to the article, Minnesota Speaker of the House, Damath, said it was time for the U.S.
1:05:03
SPEAKER_11: to end its war with Iran.
1:05:05
SPEAKER_11: Uh, Damath cited the rising uh uh prices of food, agriculture costs, and the and gas for her position.
1:05:11
SPEAKER_11: She says, as we've watched things go forward, it is time to put an end to that war in a press conference yesterday.
1:05:18
SPEAKER_11: Damoth also brought up the fact okay, so maybe I'll giving the article um, the uh the news outlet too hard of a time because she kind of did lean into Mike Lindell.
1:05:27
SPEAKER_11: She said uh she brought up the fact that Trump endorsed her primary challenger before Damoth ultimately won the contest in August, saying, I was not his pick to endorse uh here for governor in the state of Minnesota.
1:05:38
SPEAKER_11: Now, Senator Amy Clobichar uh has repeatedly called for an end to the war, did so again on the Senate floor Thursday.
1:05:45
SPEAKER_11: So before I share my thoughts on this, uh let's go ahead and go around the room.
1:05:49
SPEAKER_11: And first we'll start with uh Catherine Johnson, who is now seated in the comfy chair.
1:05:52
SPEAKER_11: Good morning, Catherine.
1:05:53
SPEAKER_06: Good morning.
1:05:54
SPEAKER_11: How you doing this morning?
1:05:55
SPEAKER_06: Oh, pretty good.
1:05:56
SPEAKER_06: Good.
1:05:56
SPEAKER_11: Yeah?
1:05:56
SPEAKER_11: What do you mean, just pretty good?
1:05:58
SPEAKER_06: Uh six out of ten.
1:05:59
SPEAKER_06: But Rob
1:06:00
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
1:06:01
SPEAKER_11: All right.
1:06:01
SPEAKER_11: We're going to get you there.
1:06:02
SPEAKER_11: You and Max.
1:06:03
SPEAKER_11: We're going to partner up here.
1:06:04
SPEAKER_11: I'm just kidding.
1:06:04
SPEAKER_11: Oh, I'm arbitrarily giving Max a hard time.
1:06:07
SPEAKER_11: I'm a 10.
1:06:07
SPEAKER_06: Max is wearing pants, so he's uncomfortable already.
1:06:12
SPEAKER_10: Well, it's colder outside now.
1:06:14
SPEAKER_10: I wouldn't expect him to be wearing pants.
1:06:15
SPEAKER_10: Hey, usually I wear pants.
1:06:17
SPEAKER_10: They're just shorts, okay?
1:06:18
SPEAKER_10: Oh.
1:06:18
SPEAKER_10: Just to be clear.
1:06:19
SPEAKER_10: That's right.
1:06:19
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I didn't mean I'm not in the studio looking like Winnie the Pooh over here.
1:06:25
SPEAKER_10: Not that there's anything wrong with that.
1:06:26
SPEAKER_11: So just saying.
1:06:27
SPEAKER_11: No, there is.
1:06:28
SPEAKER_11: There is.
1:06:29
SPEAKER_11: I would be arrested.
1:06:30
SPEAKER_11: Uh, Catherine, uh, your thoughts on Lisa Dame with coming out uh essentially.
1:06:34
SPEAKER_11: These the article frames it against the Iran war.
1:06:36
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna give my my take in a moment.
1:06:38
SPEAKER_11: What are your thoughts?
1:06:39
SPEAKER_06: I don't know that she has to.
1:06:41
SPEAKER_06: Um I I think that this is obviously uh an attempt by her to distance herself from Trump because the Democrats are trying to make this election all about Trump because that's the one thing they have.
1:06:52
SPEAKER_06: But in Minnesota, I don't think the election is about Trump now.
1:06:56
SPEAKER_06: And I don't think Republicans should start to make it about Trump now.
1:06:59
SPEAKER_06: I mean, I heard from Bill Walsh on your show uh what earlier this week that the framing that people see of this election is fraud.
1:07:07
SPEAKER_06: It's totally fraud.
1:07:08
SPEAKER_06: And Republicans are winning on that message.
1:07:10
SPEAKER_06: So I think that she's feeling pressure, you know, internally, probably from her circle, like, oh, we need to respond to what uh these accusations about you being connected to Trump.
1:07:20
SPEAKER_06: I don't think that those are going anywhere right now.
1:07:23
SPEAKER_06: And I think that her, you know, feeding into that narrative is only kind of a negative.
1:07:27
SPEAKER_06: Although, on the other hand, like I I think the Iran war certainly is a topic where you have Republicans on either side.
1:07:33
SPEAKER_06: So maybe that's what she figures it's kind of a win-win.
1:07:36
SPEAKER_11: Amanda, does it matter to you?
1:07:37
SPEAKER_11: What do you think about uh Lisa Damon taking the stance?
1:07:40
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, I mean, I I like that she is saying something about it.
1:07:45
SPEAKER_46: I feel like what I don't like is when Republicans just want to tell you there's, you know, it's not a big deal and it's it's a war, not a war.
1:07:53
SPEAKER_46: Like it, I mean, nobody I I'm still even confused.
1:07:55
SPEAKER_46: Are we saying it's a war?
1:07:57
SPEAKER_46: Because because I feel like Trump is like, no, it's an operation and Congress never voted on this.
1:08:02
SPEAKER_46: So I don't know.
1:08:03
SPEAKER_46: I I get why she wants to talk about it.
1:08:06
SPEAKER_46: Gas prices are a basic thing that matter to people in midterms, and you can argue whether or not you think that's because of the Iran war or what's going on in Ukraine and Russia.
1:08:15
SPEAKER_46: But I see why she wants to say something about it.
1:08:17
SPEAKER_11: Well, to Catherine's point, Max, before you comment and to into and to Amanda yours as well, um, as we did earlier on the show, we took calls for the majority of the morning just kind of gauging uh the friends of the show's uh frustration or lack thereof, their feelings about the gas prices.
1:08:34
SPEAKER_11: And it was pretty clear the consensus was, yeah, we wish they were lower, but we also have bigger issues that we're faced with right now.
1:08:41
SPEAKER_11: My argument had always been they've been high for so long.
1:08:44
SPEAKER_11: I mean, you go a little bit higher, it's like, yeah, that sucks, but at the same time, they've already been high.
1:08:49
SPEAKER_11: They haven't gone all the way down to what they were pre-Joe Biden in the longest time.
1:08:53
SPEAKER_11: And so, Catherine, with your saying, talking about making this about Trump, and then talking about the you know the gas prices, and that could be a reason for it, uh, Amanda.
1:09:01
SPEAKER_11: I I I just get the feeling that it may be a little bit misguided because I don't think that maybe those moderates do, but I know that for Republicans, uh, in terms of getting out the vote, the gas prices don't seem to be top of mind.
1:09:13
SPEAKER_11: Max, what are your thoughts on Lisa Dama taking the stance?
1:09:15
SPEAKER_10: Well, I agree with Catherine.
1:09:17
SPEAKER_10: I I think most of what Catherine you said, I I think is spot on.
1:09:21
SPEAKER_10: I think you want to run with the message that that benefits you.
1:09:26
SPEAKER_10: Now that said, right, I'm not on uh Lisa's campaign.
1:09:31
SPEAKER_10: And then you also have blood-red states, people running in blood-red states, be it for U.S.
1:09:37
SPEAKER_10: Senate or governor, who are doing the same thing, who are calling.
1:09:40
SPEAKER_10: I I just saw in Iowa their entire kind of statewide slate came out and had very similar statements.
1:09:46
SPEAKER_10: And that is because whether you are Lisa's campaign or any campaign, you are getting polling numbers back that show how deeply unpopular this conflict is.
1:09:56
SPEAKER_10: I mean, you are talking about potential bloodbath type numbers where it's negative 60 or negative 70 popularity for for this conflict.
1:10:07
SPEAKER_10: And for all of the good things that Trump does, and being president is a hard job.
1:10:11
SPEAKER_10: I'm not here to say that I would make any kind of different decision, but what I am saying is that this conflict, whether you want to call it perception or reality, has been a disaster.
1:10:24
SPEAKER_10: I think it's going to be the thing that we look back on and say, wow, where do we go wrong?
1:10:29
SPEAKER_10: Especially when in 2024 we were so encouraged by this no new wars, the the peace ticket, we're going to focus back on domestic issues, we're gonna bring affordability down to that straight-of-for moose component is it is a driver of gas prices, and your average everyday American is looking at the gas prices or diesel or these other factors at the grocery store, and they're saying, Man, this is this is not what I voted for.
1:10:58
SPEAKER_10: And I I think there is a contingent of Trump voting Democrats, independents, Republicans, even people who have been very uh pro-Trump and and very loyal to the president, who are sitting here going, This isn't this isn't what we voted for.
1:11:15
SPEAKER_10: But what Catherine mentioned, I think, is an important point, is that Minnesota's problems are unique to Minnesota.
1:11:23
SPEAKER_10: And across the board, no matter the the polling, because the the polling across the country right now, it could be fake.
1:11:31
SPEAKER_10: You know, I I think there's some weird stuff happening with with how pro-democrat the polling looks like, but it looks apocalyptic.
1:11:40
SPEAKER_10: In Minnesota, the polling does not look like that.
1:11:43
SPEAKER_10: I think for the first time in a long time, Minnesotans are going, we're reaching our breaking point.
1:11:49
SPEAKER_10: And it's not Trump's fault.
1:11:51
SPEAKER_10: It is because we have had one party power for over 20 years.
1:11:56
SPEAKER_10: And I think, given that fraud is such an issue, that's the messaging I would lean into.
1:12:02
SPEAKER_10: I also think there's an element of Amy Klobuchard taking money from big tech, and that's not been talked about enough with uh the data center and the flock camera controversy and that kind of thing.
1:12:12
SPEAKER_10: I think there's a messaging angle there.
1:12:15
SPEAKER_10: But Minnesota's problems are Minnesota's problems.
1:12:18
SPEAKER_11: So I, you know, the the Iran war, it's gone on longer than I than I would have liked.
1:12:23
SPEAKER_11: Um I'm not ready to uh, and I'm not saying that you're necessarily saying this, Max, but I'm not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
1:12:30
SPEAKER_11: I'm waiting to see what the end result of this is before I'll make uh personally make a determination on whether or not it it was or wasn't a good thing.
1:12:38
SPEAKER_11: If this does decisively stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon and strips away their ability to wage war against us and our allies, then I think there is a way to look at this as a positive, but I'm not, you know, until we get to that spot, I have to kind of wait to see before I make judgment.
1:12:55
SPEAKER_11: Regarding Lisa and her comments, uh, it clearly is, I think the most obvious thing, a tactical move.
1:13:01
SPEAKER_11: And it could be a smart one.
1:13:02
SPEAKER_11: Um, I think it's interesting when she calls, you know, wants an end to the Iran War, but I think everybody does.
1:13:07
SPEAKER_11: It's kind of a very sort of blanket.
1:13:09
SPEAKER_11: I mean, if somebody were to poll me and ask me, I'd be like, well, yeah, I want an end to the Iran War, but I also want to make sure that our objectives are achieved.
1:13:16
SPEAKER_11: I don't just want to stop the operation and having not accomplished anything for it.
1:13:21
SPEAKER_11: I don't think, as I mentioned, it influences much in the way of GOP votes.
1:13:25
SPEAKER_11: What I think it does do, and I think this is the reason why she made the move, I think it takes the argument off the table for Amy Clobuchar to use it against her.
1:13:32
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, and that's probably the biggest reason in my that she's doing that.
1:13:35
SPEAKER_10: I don't I don't necessarily disagree with that strategy.
1:13:38
SPEAKER_10: What I will just say is you want to talk about an end to the Iran war.
1:13:42
SPEAKER_10: I don't even know what that looks like, right?
1:13:45
SPEAKER_10: Because right now we have found ourselves in a precarious situation where we kind of went at Iran, we bombed them, we left them alone for a little while to negotiate, we bombed them some more, we tried to negotiate a little bit more, and for me, it seems like kind of, and again, I'm not a foreign policy or war expert or whatever, but it was almost like uh you want to go in and and finish the job.
1:14:10
SPEAKER_10: We did, we did not do that.
1:14:12
SPEAKER_10: It seems like instead, what we have is we have this interim weird thing where Trump has said like a dozen times now we have a deal, we don't have a deal, we're gonna bomb them more, we're not gonna bomb them more.
1:14:25
SPEAKER_10: And in the meantime, what you have is you have just the biggest corridor for for oil that is being either closed off, we don't even have like a full view of what's happening there.
1:14:36
SPEAKER_10: So finishing the job, I don't even know.
1:14:38
SPEAKER_10: I to your point, John, I don't even know what that looks like.
1:14:41
SPEAKER_06: So there's no button to just end the war.
1:14:44
SPEAKER_06: I mean, that is one thing that this this statement gave me a little like like we all want world peace in theory, but like what exactly uh what exactly are you suggesting?
1:14:52
SPEAKER_06: Because at this point, this is a difficult situation, I think, that we're in.
1:14:56
SPEAKER_11: So uh Secretary Scott Bissent came out earlier this week, and I kind of go with what he said.
1:15:00
SPEAKER_11: He said there was two, there were three different scenarios.
1:15:02
SPEAKER_11: It was one, the people finally rise up and take down this regime and take back their country in Iran.
1:15:07
SPEAKER_11: Two, the the Iranian regime ends up eating itself because of the strains that they're under.
1:15:13
SPEAKER_11: And as we talked about with Representative Tom Emmer uh yesterday, the one thing that's not being widely reported is that there is a level of chaos that's taking place in Iran right now.
1:15:23
SPEAKER_11: Their own energy prices are skyrocketing, there's long lines for gasoline there.
1:15:27
SPEAKER_11: None of this is being is being covered by the mainstream media because it would go and make it look like Trump's efforts in the Iran war are actually succeeding.
1:15:37
SPEAKER_11: He said the third, the the third option, the third way it ends, is if they actually go and stick to a deal.
1:15:43
SPEAKER_11: And so it seems like we had the kinetic action that took place that's brought us to where we are, and now they're looking at this economic strain that they're putting Iran uh over under, and they're hoping that one of those three things uh ends up resulting in the end of the conflict.
1:15:59
SPEAKER_11: Again, the people rising up, the regime taking itself out, and then having leadership that is going to agree to not continue to wage war or try to get a nuclear weapon, or they actually do come to the table and uh with a uh with a deal.
1:16:12
SPEAKER_06: But I reiterate my point, which is that all of those options rely on Iran doing something, not us.
1:16:18
SPEAKER_06: Like, you know, there's no button for the US to push.
1:16:21
SPEAKER_06: And so that's what I think a lot of people don't like about this, is that the administration has gotten themselves in a situation where we are relying on Iran to do something, whatever it is.
1:16:30
SPEAKER_06: And that's never a good situation because who knows what terrorists are gonna do.
1:16:34
SPEAKER_10: And it's a hard sell politically.
1:16:35
SPEAKER_10: So, like a lot of the perspective I'm giving right now is just the reality on the ground because you're not going to have candidates again in Trump plus 30 states coming out and saying that we think there should be an end to the Iran war if it wasn't politically toxic.
1:16:53
SPEAKER_10: Uh maybe I'll just put it that way.
1:16:55
SPEAKER_10: It's a hard sell for your average everyday voter.
1:16:59
SPEAKER_10: I think even for us nerds, we can maybe see the forest for the trees and getting on the other side of the Iran conflict that we'll be better off for it.
1:17:08
SPEAKER_10: But I think for your average voter to say, hey, pay these higher gas prices, pay more at the pump, pay more for diesel, pay more at the grocery store, because when you're doing that, it's patriotic.
1:17:20
SPEAKER_10: Well, I remember Barack Obama saying some of those same things.
1:17:24
SPEAKER_10: I don't think that's a I don't think that's compelling for most people.
1:17:27
SPEAKER_10: Most people are struggling to get by every day and it and want nothing to do with Iran because they can't afford milk or to fill up their tank.
1:17:35
SPEAKER_10: That's just the way that elections are decided.
1:17:38
SPEAKER_10: And again, I think across the country there's a lot of headwinds.
1:17:42
SPEAKER_10: In Minnesota, that is not the number one issue.
1:17:45
SPEAKER_10: The number one issue is the the massive fraud that has been basically swept under the rug by the Democrat Party here.
1:17:52
SPEAKER_11: Well, welcome in uh AK Kamara.
1:17:54
SPEAKER_11: Before you comment, though, AK first.
1:17:55
SPEAKER_11: Good morning.
1:17:56
SPEAKER_11: Good.
1:17:56
SPEAKER_11: Good to see you, buddy.
1:17:57
SPEAKER_11: Good morning.
1:17:58
SPEAKER_11: Like your shirt.
1:17:58
SPEAKER_11: Uh before AK, you comment, we gotta take a quick break here in a moment.
1:18:01
SPEAKER_11: First, I want to go back to um our new Freedom Friday uh guest this morning, uh Amanda.
1:18:06
SPEAKER_11: Amanda, you have thoughts, uh further thoughts on this?
1:18:08
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, I mean, I'll just say ditto to a lot of what Max said, but um I I think the no new wars piece.
1:18:14
SPEAKER_46: I I talk to so many just normal people.
1:18:17
SPEAKER_46: I'm not super involved in like the political world at this point, but most people I talk to, that's their biggest grievance with Trump right now is he's not keeping his promises.
1:18:26
SPEAKER_46: And the main promise was the no new wars and how much that does affect everyday life for Americans.
1:18:32
SPEAKER_46: And so I that's that's the piece that I'm okay with her bringing this up and even like trying to separate herself a little bit.
1:18:39
SPEAKER_46: I I don't know if it's gonna deter like super mega voters in Minnesota.
1:18:44
SPEAKER_46: I think it is what we're all saying, like local politics in Minnesota is is has become such a big thing, and just paying attention to the fraud going on that I don't think it really hurts her to bring this up.
1:18:56
SPEAKER_11: Uh aka, I want to give you a long enough runway to give your comments.
1:18:59
SPEAKER_11: So we're gonna I know before we before we go there, and then we are gonna unlock a new fear, especially for women here uh in the Twin Cities.

SPEAKER_11: What's up, buddy?
1:24:41
SPEAKER_41: What up?
1:24:42
SPEAKER_41: Also, real quick, um, I actually met Amanda, she was on my podcast like three weeks ago.
1:24:46
SPEAKER_41: Oh, nice! Yeah.
1:24:48
SPEAKER_38: Look at that.
1:24:49
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, well, I thought you were a great guest, and in my mind, I was like, she'd be a great addition to Freedom Friday, but that was before I knew that Grace was leaving.
1:24:56
SPEAKER_41: So, you know, all plans come together.
1:25:01
SPEAKER_11: We're all just hitching our wagon to Amanda's star.
1:25:04
SPEAKER_11: So that's what that's just that's what's happening here.
1:25:06
SPEAKER_11: Um Representative Max Reimer.
1:25:08
SPEAKER_10: Good morning.
1:25:09
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I have known Amanda for about 12 minutes, and I am very impressed.
1:25:13
SPEAKER_10: Very impressive.
1:25:14
SPEAKER_10: Also, producer Isaac pushing the buttons this morning.
1:25:17
unknown: Good morning.
1:25:18
SPEAKER_39: Oh, good morning.
1:25:19
SPEAKER_39: There you go, buddy.
1:25:20
SPEAKER_39: There it is.
1:25:20
SPEAKER_11: Not pushing his own button.
1:25:21
SPEAKER_39: Not pushing my own button.
1:25:22
SPEAKER_39: Not calling my own number.
1:25:23
SPEAKER_11: Before we turn our attention to local matters, including getting uh Freedom Friday's thoughts on the uh continued controversy surrounding uh St.
1:25:32
SPEAKER_11: Paul Mayor Cooley Her, as we talked about in great detail yesterday.
1:25:36
SPEAKER_11: Uh aka Kamara, based on our previous discussion.
1:25:39
SPEAKER_11: We were talking Lisa Damath, uh her coming out essentially against the Iran War.
1:25:43
SPEAKER_11: I mean, I that's not how she worded it, but saying she wants the Iran War to come to come to an end.
1:25:48
SPEAKER_11: Uh we got into a larger discussion about the gas prices, but and also just whether or not we support or don't support the efforts of the Trump administration against Iran.
1:25:56
SPEAKER_11: So I wanted to give you the opportunity to uh to uh comment on this.
1:26:00
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, I think that Lisa made a smart decision.
1:26:03
SPEAKER_41: In Minnesota, just purely politically speaking, if every single Republican showed up to vote, you would have about 33% of the vote on average, sometimes a little bit higher, sometimes a little bit lower.
1:26:14
SPEAKER_41: If every DFL showed up to vote, it's like 35, 36, sometimes 37%.
1:26:20
SPEAKER_41: So that means that you have to get a large swath of people that view themselves as politically independent, even if they tend to sometimes more or less vote Republican or tend to sometimes vote more less DFL.
1:26:31
SPEAKER_41: So the question is if you get every single red-blooded Minnesota Republican to vote, uh you still lose by like, you know, 25 percentage points.
1:26:40
SPEAKER_41: So you have to be able to appeal, and the data's pretty clear.
1:26:44
SPEAKER_41: Minnesotans they care about fraud and they care about the cost of things.
1:26:48
SPEAKER_41: Now it's not just the Iran war.
1:26:50
SPEAKER_41: That's the only pushback that I would have uh for people to understand.
1:26:54
SPEAKER_41: There's this huge analysis done.
1:26:55
SPEAKER_41: The cost of diesel, which is really driving the cost of a lot of our goods and services, because most of our products are delivered via truck and trucks run on diesel.
1:27:06
SPEAKER_41: Uh, that's actually because of the Iran, I'm sorry, the the Russia-Ukrainian conflict.
1:27:11
SPEAKER_41: And so I I think to take a larger approach, Lisa staking this position is not politically disadvantageous for her in Minnesota, but it also doesn't mean that she stands against the president because at the end of the day, what I think every American wants is not to be killed by terrorists.
1:27:28
SPEAKER_41: So if we can if we can accomplish that and still say we need to, you know, move forward towards an end to this, I don't think that that's saying that she's against the Trump administration in any way, shape, or form.
1:27:39
SPEAKER_41: So I think it's a politically smart take to take, you know, to the position to take.
1:27:44
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, and we haven't um we haven't talked much about those diesel prices and something actually have in the stack I'll probably get to on Monday morning's uh show.
1:27:52
SPEAKER_11: But I think it was Louisiana had declared a state of emergency over their over the diesel prices because they were they were north of like six dollars.
1:28:00
SPEAKER_11: A gallon, just this astronomical amount.
1:28:03
SPEAKER_11: And AK's right.
1:28:03
SPEAKER_11: I mean, it's not just the Iran war, it's also what's going on in uh in Ukraine.
1:28:08
SPEAKER_11: So we'll continue uh to take your thoughts uh on and off topic on the blaster line, 651-964-0294.
1:28:15
SPEAKER_11: In the meantime, you go to bring me the news to um unlock a new fear.
1:28:19
SPEAKER_11: Police have issued an appeal for information about a frightening incident.
1:28:22
SPEAKER_11: Police say a woman was kidnapped at gunpoint outside of Roseville business by a masked man on Wednesday and then held captive for several hours.
1:28:31
SPEAKER_42: Oof.
1:28:32
SPEAKER_11: The incident took place around 5 p.m.
1:28:34
SPEAKER_11: near the intersection of County Road C and East Snelling Service Drive, uh, where the victim was approached by an unknown masked armed male with a firearm.
1:28:46
SPEAKER_11: The woman was held captive for several hours before being released on the east side of St.
1:28:50
SPEAKER_11: Paul, requiring treatment at a local hospital.
1:28:53
SPEAKER_11: The Roseville Police Department issued an appeal to anyone in the area of where the kidnapping happened between three and ten o'clock, and who may have witnessed to something suspicious to call police.
1:29:04
SPEAKER_11: Residents, businesses, motorists in the area are also asked to review any available surveillance, doorbell, dash camera, video footage for the time frame of the suspicious activity.
1:29:15
SPEAKER_11: Now, no other further information in terms of the description regarding the suspect has been released, uh, nor have police identified the business that the victim had just left.
1:29:24
SPEAKER_11: The residents are encouraged to remain remain aware of their surroundings and take reasonable precautions while in public.
1:29:31
SPEAKER_11: I find the story really, really distressing, and I hope that we get further details as to what actually transpired.
1:29:39
SPEAKER_11: The fact that they're not releasing any details yet, and given the fact that she was held captive for a number of hours and then released, I mean, the mind begins to reel over the potential of what this could have been and the motivation behind it.
1:29:53
SPEAKER_11: So I'm I'm waiting before I say anything further.
1:29:55
SPEAKER_11: I'm curious to get the thoughts of the of the group.
1:29:58
SPEAKER_11: But, you know, in terms of when we talk about crime, and this is something you don't hear of very often, and I just I find it really, really uh disturbing.
1:30:04
SPEAKER_11: Catherine, did you have a thought on this?
1:30:06
SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, 5 p.m.
1:30:07
SPEAKER_06: I mean, oh my gosh, this wasn't exactly in the middle of the night.
1:30:10
SPEAKER_06: The thing that strikes me immediately is that they are withholding any kind of information that would describe the perpetrator.
1:30:17
SPEAKER_06: Um, like you said, she was held for a couple hours.
1:30:19
SPEAKER_06: I find it unlikely, probably, that she doesn't have anything to say about what he may have looked like or sounded like.
1:30:26
SPEAKER_11: Um, or she's being told not to say anything at this point.
1:30:30
SPEAKER_06: But recently, look at what happened in Edina with that shooting.
1:30:34
SPEAKER_06: Um, the police are withholding a lot of the information that people who were actually around were saying about the perpetrators.
1:30:42
SPEAKER_06: And I think it's possibly because they have an angle.
1:30:45
SPEAKER_06: They don't want to say that it was um likely Somali gang violence.
1:30:49
SPEAKER_06: But why not be honest with the public when there's a kidnapper on the loose uh grabbing up women at 5 p.m.?
1:30:55
SPEAKER_06: I hope they are giving out all of the information that they have.
1:30:58
SPEAKER_11: Amanda, you have uh thoughts on that?
1:31:00
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, I mean, I have so many questions before I could really form a formal opinion, but I will say that my husband's always telling me that I should get my permit to carry, and usually I don't want to do that, but this kind of makes me want to.
1:31:11
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I that's why, listen, I keep my Berna, my Berna less lethal launcher.
1:31:15
SPEAKER_11: Not a sponsor of the show, but they should be Catherine.
1:31:17
SPEAKER_11: So that's um as my lieutenant governor.
1:31:19
SPEAKER_11: I think you should reach out to uh to Berna.
1:31:21
SPEAKER_11: Uh that's what listen, that's why I that's why I carry mine with me.
1:31:23
SPEAKER_11: Not that I'm worried about being kidnapped because you just don't you just don't know.
1:31:26
SPEAKER_11: My fear, I'll listen, I'll just be honest.
1:31:28
SPEAKER_11: My fear on this is that it was some sort of dry run.
1:31:30
SPEAKER_11: That's what that's what concerns me.
1:31:31
SPEAKER_11: Yeah like this is another angle that that we're gonna see happen locally.
1:31:35
SPEAKER_11: I have no evidence to base that off of.
1:31:37
SPEAKER_11: We have to wait to hear the details, but that's immediately immediately where my mind went was somebody going and doing this, releasing an individual to see if they can get away with it, which may result in it happening for that.
1:31:46
SPEAKER_10: I am curious to hear about the number one target for a potential kidnapping, aka Kamara on this.
1:31:51
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, so I ladies, ladies, I've got five words for you.
1:31:55
SPEAKER_41: Keep that thang on you.
1:31:57
SPEAKER_41: All right.
1:31:58
SPEAKER_41: So, like you alluded to, getting that permit to carry, a very smart idea for personal defense.
1:32:04
SPEAKER_41: I just think it's smart for women to you know take that extra step, get your permit to carry.
1:32:09
SPEAKER_41: Uh, make yourself hard to kidnap or kill.
1:32:11
SPEAKER_41: I mean, in general, that's just a good thing.
1:32:13
SPEAKER_41: I will say that one of the reasons uh that law enforcement may not be giving out information is because they may be already kind of uh onto someone, and they don't want to basically give them a heads up so they stop.
1:32:26
SPEAKER_41: So sometimes there's that.
1:32:28
SPEAKER_41: But listen, I I think you hit the nail on the head, Catherine.
1:32:31
SPEAKER_41: You you really can't.
1:32:32
SPEAKER_41: If this was 20 years ago, we'd say, yeah, that's probably the reason.
1:32:35
SPEAKER_41: Now it's because it might be considered woke.
1:32:38
SPEAKER_41: Like, oh, we we don't want people to go out there and start harassing random black or Somali or whatever description of the person that it might be, because you know, we we just don't want to do that.
1:32:49
SPEAKER_41: That happens all the time at the University of Minnesota.
1:32:51
SPEAKER_41: I mean, back when I went to the U, uh they they started or they stopped describing the race of the victim.
1:32:58
SPEAKER_41: It used to be just be like, you know, 19-year-old East African male.
1:33:02
SPEAKER_41: That's what they would say.
1:33:03
SPEAKER_41: It's like that's Somali.
1:33:05
SPEAKER_41: And then there was like uh just a 19-year-old male wearing dark clothing.
1:33:08
SPEAKER_41: I'm like, oh, was it what white Asian?
1:33:11
SPEAKER_41: Like, it's just so dumb.
1:33:12
SPEAKER_41: So I would just say that there's that probability.
1:33:15
SPEAKER_41: And if we're talking about which which city was this?
1:33:18
SPEAKER_41: Roseville.
1:33:19
SPEAKER_41: Roseville's, you know, first, second ring suburb.
1:33:22
SPEAKER_41: I probably think it's more or less likely that that's what they're doing.
1:33:26
SPEAKER_41: They're suppressing information because it might be considered racist.
1:33:28
SPEAKER_11: Max, you worried about being kidnapped?
1:33:30
SPEAKER_10: You know, I'm kind of looking for the smoke.
1:33:32
SPEAKER_10: I wish someone would try to kidnap me these days.
1:33:36
SPEAKER_10: Need a reason to engage some some in some combat.
1:33:42
SPEAKER_42: Shit and wick it.
1:33:44
SPEAKER_10: Been working out lately, so I'm a little bit more confident in my skills.
1:33:49
SPEAKER_10: We're gonna get wick up in here.
1:33:51
SPEAKER_10: I will just say American Experiments own Bill Glond talks a lot about the blast radius coming out of you know Minneapolis and St.
1:33:58
SPEAKER_10: Paul, and it's this indulgence of crime.
1:34:00
SPEAKER_10: And what what his point in saying that is, is what you indulge it, when you indulge crime, when you when you basically make it okay in one area, that's gonna impact other areas of the state.
1:34:12
SPEAKER_10: And Catherine mentioned the shooting in Edina.
1:34:14
SPEAKER_10: I know that there was just like what appears to be a gang shooting in Wilmer, Minnesota, and Candy Ohio County.
1:34:20
SPEAKER_10: This is what happens from 2020 on.
1:34:23
SPEAKER_10: When you don't put a forceful hand down against criminals, they become more emboldened to kidnap someone in broad daylight in Roseville in an area that I know because I went I went to college in Roseville.
1:34:35
SPEAKER_06: But he worked at that Arby's.
1:34:37
SPEAKER_10: That's I did work at that Argus.
1:34:40
SPEAKER_11: Got fired at that Arby's, too.
1:34:41
SPEAKER_11: Their steak nuggets, by the way, right now are spectacular.
1:34:44
SPEAKER_11: So good.
1:34:44
SPEAKER_11: They're so good.
1:34:45
SPEAKER_41: I don't think they're that great.
1:34:47
SPEAKER_41: Steak nuggets and their cheesesteaks, delicious.
1:34:50
SPEAKER_10: I've probably just gone at the wrong time because every time I've tried steak nuggets, and it's been like three times now, I'm like giving them their due chance here to impress me.
1:35:01
SPEAKER_10: Is there a difference?
1:35:02
SPEAKER_10: They're so fatty.
1:35:03
SPEAKER_10: They're like they're muscly and you don't want your meat to be tough.
1:35:08
SPEAKER_10: No, I don't.
1:35:10
SPEAKER_11: I don't know what kind of meat you were eating in North Dakota there, buddy, but uh the only thing that drives me nuts is is is horsey is the name horsey sauce?
1:35:19
SPEAKER_11: Is that normal?
1:35:20
SPEAKER_11: Usually I go horserish.
1:35:22
SPEAKER_41: No, yeah, that that's Arby's brand of horseradish.
1:35:25
SPEAKER_41: Maybe I guess they just decided.
1:35:27
SPEAKER_11: I hate that name.
1:35:29
SPEAKER_11: I don't like I don't like dipping my my meat, my my steak nuggets in horsey sauce.
1:35:35
SPEAKER_11: I put it on every terminology.
1:35:36
SPEAKER_41: I put it, I put it on my cheesesteaks because the cheese sticks are so good.
1:35:39
SPEAKER_41: I just don't like the terminology.
1:35:40
SPEAKER_41: But what I learned is that they actually added so horserish is just you know, it's the horseradish but uh you have to prepare to make uh uh something that is more delectable.
1:35:50
SPEAKER_41: So I think they put their own version of a cream in there.
1:35:53
SPEAKER_41: And that's why they call it horsey sauce.
1:35:54
SPEAKER_41: But yeah, it is a little disturbing.
1:35:56
SPEAKER_41: Like, is that horse meat?
1:35:57
SPEAKER_10: All right, try question tri question on this.
1:35:59
SPEAKER_10: Okay.
1:36:00
SPEAKER_10: Horsey sauce.
1:36:01
SPEAKER_10: Yeah?
1:36:02
SPEAKER_10: Rock band or racehorse.
1:36:03
SPEAKER_10: Uh ooh.
1:36:05
SPEAKER_10: Probably race horse.
1:36:06
SPEAKER_11: No, I'm going to rock band.
1:36:08
SPEAKER_11: What?
1:36:08
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, because because the problem is you apply horsey sauce label to an actual horse.
1:36:14
SPEAKER_11: Two on the nose.
1:36:15
SPEAKER_11: Thank you.
1:36:16
SPEAKER_11: Or this way.
1:36:16
SPEAKER_11: Thank you.
1:36:17
SPEAKER_41: There are so many sound bites coming out of this.
1:36:19
SPEAKER_41: Rock star, rock band, or adult film star.
1:36:23
SPEAKER_41: So I might.
1:36:26
SPEAKER_11: You're the one that inch it's.
1:36:27
SPEAKER_11: I know, that's my fault.
1:36:29
SPEAKER_11: And we're gonna talk about horny her here in just a minute, so it may be more appropriate, but um, one more, just one more note on this kidnapping, by the way.
1:36:38
SPEAKER_11: Somebody pointed this out via the uh the blind.
1:36:40
SPEAKER_11: Quick question.
1:36:40
SPEAKER_11: Sorry, quick question.
1:36:41
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, where was she held for five hours?
1:36:44
SPEAKER_11: So it doesn't say, but she did go to the hospital, and then somebody else was pointing out that there may have been another factor, and they might not be talking about that other factor of why she went to the hospital because they don't want to cause alarm within the public.
1:36:56
SPEAKER_11: Meaning that something that she might have been assaulted, yeah, yeah.
1:36:59
SPEAKER_10: Raped essentially.
1:37:00
SPEAKER_10: I don't know why I'm dancing around the issue.
1:37:01
SPEAKER_10: Not to speculate, right, and uh we'll learn more information about a case like this too.
1:37:05
SPEAKER_10: It's it's hard for me to believe that this person did not know the victim.
1:37:10
SPEAKER_10: Uh I don't know.
1:37:11
SPEAKER_10: That's just the gut feeling I have.
1:37:13
SPEAKER_10: That'd make it more terrifying.
1:37:14
SPEAKER_06: I'm like getting in my random statistically, most likely, I think, right?
1:37:18
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I mean, same thing with any kind of abduction, uh, abduction of a child or anything like that statistically, usually it's someone they know, right?
1:37:25
SPEAKER_11: Uh I'm gonna talk about I'm not gonna get into it today's show.
1:37:28
SPEAKER_11: I want to use this as a lead into a discussion over uh the latest regarding uh the St.
1:37:33
SPEAKER_11: Paul mayor.
1:37:34
SPEAKER_11: There's a really uh Eric Roper, I don't know, is anybody familiar with him?
1:37:37
SPEAKER_11: I'm not familiar with him.
1:37:38
SPEAKER_11: He has a there's a there's a piece in the Star Tribune, and like I said, I'll get into the details of it on Monday.
1:37:43
SPEAKER_11: But uh the answer to Minneapolis is uh smashed windows is in St.
1:37:48
SPEAKER_11: Paul.
1:37:49
SPEAKER_11: St.
1:37:49
SPEAKER_11: Paul doesn't see many reports of car window smashings and has gotten a handle on related crimes that persist in Minneapolis.
1:37:56
SPEAKER_11: What you find out in this article is the cooperation that local law enforcement has with county law enforcement in St.
1:38:04
SPEAKER_11: Paul, where you have basically he lays out in the article that the trajectory regarding crime is going two opposite directions in the Twin Cities.
1:38:11
SPEAKER_11: It's going it's getting worse in Minneapolis, but it's getting better in St.
1:38:15
SPEAKER_11: Paul, which is so bizarre when you consider they're right next door to each other.
1:38:18
SPEAKER_11: And what he points to here is, and I'll just kind of paraphrase, like the Twin Cities serves as the um St.
1:38:26
SPEAKER_11: Paul serves as the example of when Democrat leadership actually cares about addressing crime and they address crime.
1:38:33
SPEAKER_11: Because you can't have that, right?
1:38:34
SPEAKER_11: Two things can be true or once.
1:38:35
SPEAKER_11: You can disagree with the left when it comes to ideologies, when it comes to issues, but we can all care about crime.
1:38:41
SPEAKER_11: And you have Democrat leadership in St.
1:38:42
SPEAKER_11: Paul that's doing the right thing they care about crime.
1:38:44
SPEAKER_11: Whereas Minneapolis, you see what happens when you have a feckless mayor and a bunch of communists that are running the Minneapolis City Council.
1:38:51
SPEAKER_11: That's why this is essentially the takeaway that he has here.
1:38:54
SPEAKER_11: He had all the answers he could find to why the windows weren't being smashed in St.
1:38:58
SPEAKER_11: Paul.
1:38:58
SPEAKER_11: But when he got to Minneapolis, he was stonewalled across the board through every single um, you know, leadership and law enforcement department who just kept deferring to other individuals.
1:39:09
SPEAKER_11: It's a really, really fascinating piece.
1:39:11
SPEAKER_11: Trevor Burrus, Jr.
1:39:11
SPEAKER_06: I wonder if he's taking into account the fact that St.
1:39:13
SPEAKER_06: Paul sucks and there's nothing to do in that city.
1:39:16
SPEAKER_06: And so there aren't just like cars lined up, you know, like this people there's stuff to do in Minneapolis, okay?
1:39:21
SPEAKER_06: It does have this redeeming quality.
1:39:23
SPEAKER_06: St.
1:39:23
SPEAKER_06: Paul, there's nothing going on.
1:39:25
SPEAKER_11: So the cars aren't worthy to have their windows smashed, is the is the take from the wild car.
1:39:31
SPEAKER_11: Like there's no one there because the city is bad.
1:39:35
SPEAKER_11: There's nothing to do.
1:39:37
SPEAKER_11: I don't think that's the case.
1:39:38
SPEAKER_10: I don't think that's the case.
1:39:40
SPEAKER_10: The criminals are like, this this place is too boring.
1:39:42
SPEAKER_10: We're too we're just gonna move out of here.
1:39:44
SPEAKER_41: I I will say this though, that St.
1:39:46
SPEAKER_41: Paul police have continued to maintain, like, I don't know, what most police departments used to do, which is like police work on the ground, going out, like actually having some preventative measures.
1:40:01
SPEAKER_41: And I will say also, as the story alludes to, Ramsey County compared to Hennepin County, Ramsey County's sheriff is based, right?
1:40:08
SPEAKER_41: Like Bob Fletcher, super dope display.
1:40:11
SPEAKER_41: This is true.
1:40:12
SPEAKER_41: Bob Fletcher is great.
1:40:13
SPEAKER_41: Like, look at what he was saying coming out and addressing the Somali um, you know, criminal gangs.
1:40:20
SPEAKER_41: That would never come out of Hennepin County.
1:40:23
SPEAKER_41: So I think it always boils down to if you just let cops do their job and be cops and do all the things that we know that cops are good at doing, which is building community relationships and going act to you know, actively, proactively stopping crime when it happens, then you have less crime.
1:40:40
SPEAKER_41: Minneapolis has literally done the opposite.
1:40:42
SPEAKER_41: And it's not because of the rank and file police officers, it's because of very, very poor leadership.
1:40:48
SPEAKER_11: Amanda, how are uh how are the how's the uh car smashing situation in Apple Valley?
1:40:53
SPEAKER_46: Uh we really don't have to deal with that.
1:40:55
SPEAKER_06: Thankfully, if you have more than 12 cars there, I mean that's more places to eat out in Apple Valley than in St.
1:41:01
SPEAKER_06: Paul.
1:41:01
SPEAKER_06: I'm not kidding.
1:41:02
SPEAKER_06: I mean, St.
1:41:03
SPEAKER_06: Paul, everyone has escaped.
1:41:04
SPEAKER_06: It's all boarded up, it's empty.
1:41:06
SPEAKER_41: Hey, shout out to Bovino.
1:41:08
SPEAKER_41: All right, Bovino is delicious.
1:41:10
SPEAKER_41: Brazilian teddy scotch.
1:41:12
SPEAKER_10: Burger Moes.
1:41:12
SPEAKER_10: Yes.
1:41:13
SPEAKER_10: Let's go to Burger Moe's over and over and over again, just like your state representatives.
1:41:17
SPEAKER_41: But just don't have more than like two drinks.
1:41:19
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, that's true.
1:41:20
SPEAKER_11: Let's go to the uh the blaster line, 651-964-0294.
1:41:24
SPEAKER_17: Hey, Bob from Lake Elmo, proud suburb of St.
1:41:27
SPEAKER_17: Paul.
1:41:28
SPEAKER_17: Go ahead and stay over on the other side of the country.
1:41:30
SPEAKER_17: We don't we don't need you over here.
1:41:32
SPEAKER_17: There's a region that's nice and quiet over here.
1:41:35
SPEAKER_17: All your fun and crime over on the Minneapolis side.
1:41:38
SPEAKER_17: We're fine over here.
1:41:39
SPEAKER_17: You can think we suck, but I like this.
1:41:42
SPEAKER_06: And then you try and drive.
1:41:43
SPEAKER_06: Like, have you ever tried to just drive in St.
1:41:45
SPEAKER_06: Paul?
1:41:46
SPEAKER_06: You literally can't because the potholes are so.
1:41:48
SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah, it's a war zone.
1:41:49
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, there's massive pothole problems in St.
1:41:51
SPEAKER_10: Paul.
1:41:54
SPEAKER_06: I agree with AK.
1:41:55
SPEAKER_06: They do have a very good thing I mean, Bob Fletcher's wonderful, and I think they've done a lot of great things with public safety, but there are some other considerations.
1:42:01
SPEAKER_06: I'm just wondering if he factored in.
1:42:03
SPEAKER_11: I may have to drop you as my lieutenant governor.
1:42:05
SPEAKER_11: You've gone to war with St.
1:42:06
SPEAKER_11: Paul.
1:42:07
SPEAKER_11: I live in St.
1:42:08
SPEAKER_25: Paul.
1:42:08
SPEAKER_25: Plenty to do over here.
1:42:11
SPEAKER_25: And I'm not going to mention the plenty to do because it is obvious.
1:42:17
SPEAKER_25: And we like it here.
1:42:18
SPEAKER_25: A little more peaceful than the disgusting Minneapolis.
1:42:23
SPEAKER_10: Wait, wait, why is it obvious?
1:42:25
SPEAKER_38: I don't know.
1:42:26
SPEAKER_38: I don't know.
1:42:27
SPEAKER_41: Two things I think.
1:42:27
SPEAKER_41: He doesn't want to give away the good spots because he wants to keep people themselves out of St.
1:42:32
SPEAKER_41: Paul.
1:42:33
SPEAKER_41: Sure.
1:42:33
SPEAKER_41: Those of you that know, you know the places to go.
1:42:36
SPEAKER_41: I I will also say this: as someone who married a St.
1:42:39
SPEAKER_41: Paul Eastider, uh, it like everywhere you go, you they'll tell you they're from the East Side of St.
1:42:46
SPEAKER_41: Paul.
1:42:47
SPEAKER_41: You don't have to question.
1:42:48
SPEAKER_41: They will tell you.
1:42:49
SPEAKER_41: They're very, very proud uh people that are from the east side of St.
1:42:53
SPEAKER_41: Paul.
1:42:53
SPEAKER_41: The demographics have changed a lot in the last 30 years, but uh they're still a pretty proud people.
1:43:00
SPEAKER_41: And you know, they'll take you, you know, into the alley and tune you up and give you the what's for if you do too many crazy things.
1:43:06
SPEAKER_11: A lot of proud people from St.
1:43:07
SPEAKER_11: Paul leaving comments this morning.
1:43:09
SPEAKER_07: Good morning, John and Gas.
1:43:11
SPEAKER_07: Catherine, I'm sorry.
1:43:12
SPEAKER_07: I'm a St.
1:43:13
SPEAKER_07: Paul person, I will always be a St.
1:43:15
SPEAKER_07: Paul person, and there are things to do in St.
1:43:18
SPEAKER_07: Paul, and you know what I can do in St.
1:43:20
SPEAKER_07: Paul is I can go downtown and not worry about being clutched over the head and leave.
1:43:26
SPEAKER_07: I'm just telling you, the police department in St.
1:43:28
SPEAKER_07: Paul, the police chief Crusader Henry, amazing guy, which you're the chair of amazing guy.
1:43:34
SPEAKER_07: Not like Minneapolis, where it's a bunch of transients that came from California.
1:43:39
SPEAKER_07: It's called St.
1:43:40
SPEAKER_07: Small because we're all people that have lived here our whole lives and we all look out for each other.
1:43:47
SPEAKER_07: So sorry, I'm taking numbers on that.
1:43:50
SPEAKER_06: That was three people in a row who said that there was a lot to do in St.
1:43:54
SPEAKER_06: Paul and listen through.
1:43:56
SPEAKER_11: Catherine stepped on a landmine today.
1:43:58
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
1:43:59
SPEAKER_11: All right.
1:43:59
SPEAKER_11: Speaking of stepping on the landmine, let's go here.
1:44:02
SPEAKER_11: St.
1:44:02
SPEAKER_11: Paul police chief Axel Henry filed a lawsuit against Mayor Cooley Her, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation.
1:44:10
SPEAKER_11: We went through all the sorid details yesterday.
1:44:12
SPEAKER_11: Henry claims that the city's investigation, summarized in a two-page letter, was a whitewash.
1:44:17
SPEAKER_11: And then you violated state law by not releasing the uh the full report.
1:44:22
SPEAKER_11: So, uh, first off, has everybody had a chance to sort of see the details of what was transpired in the uh in the lawsuit?
1:44:27
SPEAKER_11: And Catherine, you already look confused.
1:44:28
SPEAKER_06: Well, I do have a question about this.
1:44:29
SPEAKER_06: Why would why did we get new information in the lawsuit that wasn't in what we knew before?
1:44:34
SPEAKER_06: Do you guys know?
1:44:36
SPEAKER_41: I think it's because Chris Maddle is a genius, and he knew how strong their case was, and he they had an inkling that they would try and sweep this all underneath the rug.
1:44:45
SPEAKER_41: So here's what I think.
1:44:46
SPEAKER_41: It's like, how do you bait them?
1:44:48
SPEAKER_41: You you basically let them do their investigation, you hold back the things that any reasonable investigator would be able to find, to be able to then now go and blast their entire report to be like, look at these very obvious things that you clearly didn't do your work on, and I think it makes their their case way stronger to actually get some money out or get the deal done that they're trying to get done.
1:45:11
SPEAKER_41: That's it.
1:45:11
SPEAKER_06: Did the chief withhold the information that she was touching his upper thigh to the investigators, or did they know that information?
1:45:18
SPEAKER_06: Because that's to be crucial.
1:45:19
SPEAKER_06: Like if you are touching someone at an office place, that's yeah, you can't do that.
1:45:24
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, AK.
1:45:25
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, so that was a so so those so those are.
1:45:27
SPEAKER_11: Sorry I can't touch your thigh right now, Max.
1:45:30
SPEAKER_11: Is that is that is that what you're saying?
1:45:32
SPEAKER_11: Okay, so first off, uh, I want to put a period on well, we're talking St.
1:45:36
SPEAKER_11: Paul, but we were talking about the other issue.
1:45:38
SPEAKER_11: Uh, I got a text that rolled in and says, Don't listen to any of those blasts.
1:45:42
SPEAKER_11: She's right.
1:45:42
SPEAKER_11: There's nothing to do in St.
1:45:43
SPEAKER_11: Paul.
1:45:44
SPEAKER_11: Don't tell anybody there is, please, seriously.
1:45:47
SPEAKER_11: Then they said, never mind, I don't live there anymore.
1:45:50
SPEAKER_11: I live about 75 miles north because St.
1:45:52
SPEAKER_11: Paul sucks so bad.
1:45:53
SPEAKER_11: So uh somebody else also mentioned uh the uh the law enforcement that St.
1:46:01
SPEAKER_11: Paul has a more robust law enforcement than Minneapolis does with uh with regard to that.
1:46:06
SPEAKER_11: No, I think actually AK, getting back to the Cooley Her uh story, I think AK is onto something.
1:46:10
SPEAKER_11: I think that they sp they stuck to specific allegations in the St.
1:46:15
SPEAKER_11: Paul internal report, knowing that if they came back like they did and said, oh, she acted abusive and inappropriate, but we're not gonna do anything about it, that they could come on the backside with this uh with this lawsuit.
1:46:28
SPEAKER_11: And Catherine, you're right, man.
1:46:30
SPEAKER_11: The details of this, it was like uh cooley her just could not get enough of Axel Henry.
1:46:36
SPEAKER_11: I imagine that if this does go to trial, that is going to be the defense.
1:46:40
SPEAKER_11: Is that this was a woman in love, right?
1:46:43
SPEAKER_11: And she was she was, you know, because of that, her mind was influenced over her uh her desire for police chief Axl Henry, because he was trying to avoid her at every step of the way, and you're right, she was like fewing him up during office meetings.
1:46:56
SPEAKER_11: He's a pretty good looking dude.
1:46:58
SPEAKER_11: He's all right, you know, I guess.
1:47:02
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
1:47:04
SPEAKER_41: Here's what I find another thing that's is interesting.
1:47:07
SPEAKER_41: Uh Chris Maddle had posted, if anyone has a copy of this report, please send it to them, because it sounds like they're also withholding the Fono report.
1:47:17
SPEAKER_41: So I I just think they just they outgame them.
1:47:21
SPEAKER_41: At the end of the day, I'll even say this.
1:47:25
SPEAKER_41: Maybe, maybe the chief wanted to give the city the ability to conduct their investigation without having to drag her through the mud more than she already has been, because he wanted to give her like an amicable out.
1:47:36
SPEAKER_41: But now that it clearly shows that they won't even investigate their own people, it's like, all right, now we're gonna have to take off the gloves and we're gonna have to really go ham.
1:47:46
SPEAKER_41: And it's I I imagine the level of information that they have is plentiful because Chris Maddle doesn't lose cases.
1:47:55
SPEAKER_41: So I I it's gonna be fascinating for me.
1:47:57
SPEAKER_41: I'm gonna be sitting back with popcorn, man.
1:47:59
SPEAKER_41: I want to watch this thing just go supernova, man.
1:48:03
SPEAKER_11: Amanda, do you have any uh you have any thoughts on the situation?
1:48:06
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, I do wonder if this is gonna be like a Lindsay Clancy spinoff where it's she was not guilty by reason of being in love, or somehow he is the reason.
1:48:16
SPEAKER_46: Like they all could blame Lindsey Clancy's husband.
1:48:18
SPEAKER_46: So is that same group now gonna come and say it's somehow the police chief's fault?
1:48:23
SPEAKER_46: Yeah.
1:48:23
SPEAKER_46: Unrequited love.
1:48:25
SPEAKER_11: So let's do so.
1:48:26
SPEAKER_11: Let's do this.
1:48:26
SPEAKER_11: Let's go around the room.
1:48:27
SPEAKER_11: Let me just add one more little element to this.
1:48:29
SPEAKER_11: Uh, Fox Nine has a piece this morning uh basically what happens next in the lawsuit.
1:48:34
SPEAKER_11: Okay, so St.
1:48:34
SPEAKER_11: Paul police chief Axel Henry files a lawsuit against her, alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, misconduct, seeks access to the full investigative report according to the lawsuit, pits two of the city's highest ranking officials against each other.
1:48:48
SPEAKER_11: And going back to what we said before, and I want to bring that detail out, is that the lawsuit wants to get into the full investigation that was done in the city, which could end up revealing even more based off of the testimony and the people that they spoke to regarding how they came to that conclusion in the first place.
1:49:02
SPEAKER_11: Um, be that as it may, we're gonna be with this story for a while.
1:49:06
SPEAKER_11: The legal experts suggest the case may take 18 months to resolve.
1:49:11
SPEAKER_11: Let's go.
1:49:12
SPEAKER_11: Potentially leading to a jury trial or a settlement.
1:49:16
SPEAKER_11: So I guess uh St.
1:49:17
SPEAKER_11: Paul's gonna have to go and put barricades up on the streets like they did for the George Floyd trial at this time.
1:49:21
SPEAKER_11: Oh, yeah, or not.
1:49:23
SPEAKER_11: So uh Isaac, we'll actually start with you and we'll go around the room.
1:49:26
SPEAKER_11: So um Cooley Her got away with this in the localized investigation.
1:49:33
SPEAKER_11: Um, do you think that she is able to skate by when it comes to this lawsuit in a potential trial?
1:49:40
SPEAKER_39: Good question.
1:49:41
SPEAKER_39: Um yeah, I think so, probably.
1:49:44
SPEAKER_39: Okay.
1:49:44
SPEAKER_39: I think she's gonna find a way to just kind of sneak out of there.
1:49:47
SPEAKER_39: I agree with Manda.
1:49:47
SPEAKER_39: I think it's a Lindsay Clancy type deal of like, oh, she was just in love.
1:49:51
SPEAKER_39: She she wasn't seen straight.
1:49:53
SPEAKER_11: Let me make the uh question more succinct.
1:49:54
SPEAKER_11: Not to you, you nailed it.
1:49:56
SPEAKER_11: But um, will she still be mayor at the end of all of this?
1:49:58
SPEAKER_11: Let's just go that route.
1:49:59
SPEAKER_11: Matt.
1:50:00
SPEAKER_10: Of course.
1:50:02
SPEAKER_10: Absolutely.
1:50:02
SPEAKER_10: There's not going to be any recourse for her politically.
1:50:06
SPEAKER_10: Because you gotta keep you gotta keep in mind too that at the same time this is happening, a number of people on the St.
1:50:12
SPEAKER_10: Paul City Council, I think one or two, have had multiple lawsuits that the city is responsible for for just being like an abusive boss to their staffers.
1:50:21
SPEAKER_10: And at the end of the day, who's on the hook for this lawsuit?
1:50:26
SPEAKER_10: Well, it's the dear taxpayer in St.
1:50:28
SPEAKER_10: Paul, right?
1:50:29
SPEAKER_10: So this idea that she's uh going to resign in disgrace Minnesota politicians don't resign in disgrace.
1:50:37
SPEAKER_10: It it it doesn't happen anymore.
1:50:39
SPEAKER_10: If that were the case, Tim Walls should have resigned two years ago.
1:50:43
SPEAKER_41: Three years ago.
1:50:44
SPEAKER_10: AK, is she uh does she survive this?
1:50:47
SPEAKER_41: Okay.
1:50:48
SPEAKER_41: I think that she doesn't.
1:50:50
SPEAKER_41: And and the only reason why I I f there's a possibility that she does.
1:50:54
SPEAKER_41: If she caves and basically you know, uh the chief gets what he wants.
1:51:00
SPEAKER_41: Because I think that that's this is I I allude to this.
1:51:02
SPEAKER_41: There's some gamesmanship going on about what do they actually want.
1:51:06
SPEAKER_41: Now, if the chief was just purely out for just for justice's sake, then uh yeah, I would say unequivocally she doesn't survive.
1:51:14
SPEAKER_41: I think that there's so many other skeletons buried that when they start going into discovery, if this trial actually gets to that point, she'll be so embarrassed that you can't.
1:51:26
SPEAKER_41: You can't just stay in.
1:51:27
SPEAKER_41: But there is a small part of me that says there's basically nothing that could be uncovered unless we're talking about like underage children.
1:51:34
SPEAKER_41: Then maybe.
1:51:35
SPEAKER_11: Well, that was a point that I made yesterday is that if this was all going on within the office and her holding the position, I mean, what is she doing in her personal life?
1:51:42
SPEAKER_11: Uh Amanda, before we go to you, I want to get to a uh a couple of uh blasts that have rolled in.
1:51:47
SPEAKER_16: Happy Freedom Friday, everybody.
1:51:48
SPEAKER_16: Uh obviously, Scott Con 5 on whether St.
1:51:52
SPEAKER_16: Paul is a good place to be.
1:51:55
SPEAKER_16: She left a little bit of a thing out, and you said there's plenty of things to do in St.
1:52:00
SPEAKER_16: Paul.
1:52:00
SPEAKER_16: Well, obviously.
1:52:03
SPEAKER_16: Coolie, her.
1:52:06
SPEAKER_16: Anyway.
1:52:08
SPEAKER_16: A little funny for you.
1:52:09
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, that was no, that was definitely funny.
1:52:11
SPEAKER_01: Hey guys, it's Lori from Plymouth.
1:52:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't know about you, but I just cannot wait for the new Axel Henry calendar to come out for 2027.
1:52:20
SPEAKER_11: Did you guys see all those foot those photoshopped images, man?
1:52:22
SPEAKER_11: Those were those were just crazy.
1:52:23
SPEAKER_11: Oh, this one I like.
1:52:24
SPEAKER_15: Morning, John.
1:52:26
SPEAKER_15: Her movie reference.
1:52:28
SPEAKER_15: I heard what she said to that police chief was quote, I will not be ignored.
1:52:36
SPEAKER_11: For those that remember Fatal Attraction.
1:52:37
SPEAKER_11: Okay, fatal attraction.
1:52:38
SPEAKER_11: I will not be ignored.
1:52:39
SPEAKER_11: Was his name Dan?
1:52:40
SPEAKER_11: I will not be ignored, Dan.
1:52:41
SPEAKER_11: I think that's what his that's what his name was.
1:52:43
SPEAKER_11: Uh Amanda, I know you gave your take that this may turn into uh a potential Lindsay Clancy type uh situation.
1:52:50
SPEAKER_11: But do you think that uh she's still the mayor after all of sudden dentists?
1:52:52
SPEAKER_46: Well, I have a question before I answer.
1:52:54
SPEAKER_46: Who replaces her if she steps down?
1:52:56
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, that's a good idea.
1:52:57
SPEAKER_41: Somebody get appointed the deputy mayor.
1:52:59
SPEAKER_11: Is there a de-who's the deputy?
1:53:00
SPEAKER_46: Is that like a uh like a Tim Walls Peggy Flanagan situation?
1:53:04
SPEAKER_46: It'd be worse to have her so we would or something.
1:53:07
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, so it's one half of the I don't know.
1:53:09
SPEAKER_41: It's about the same.
1:53:10
SPEAKER_11: Maybe this is all happening from the from the lieutenant mayor.
1:53:13
SPEAKER_11: Maybe this is all the maybe this is all a coup.
1:53:15
SPEAKER_11: Deputy mayor.
1:53:16
SPEAKER_11: It's game, it's game of game of mayors.
1:53:19
SPEAKER_46: She's being taken down from the inside.
1:53:22
SPEAKER_46: Yeah.
1:53:22
SPEAKER_46: So I don't know.
1:53:23
SPEAKER_46: I feel like she'll probably stay.
1:53:25
SPEAKER_46: I it it just people the morality piece is what I I keep thinking of.
1:53:30
SPEAKER_46: And I feel like there's so many people that they just don't care about this anymore.
1:53:34
SPEAKER_46: Like they don't care about these things.
1:53:35
SPEAKER_46: The the bar for morality has been lowered so much that it's like, whatever.
1:53:41
SPEAKER_11: All right, Catherine, you've been a roller coaster on this issue when it comes to horny her, so where do you land?
1:53:46
SPEAKER_06: Um, I think that I agree with AK that if uh uh Cooley Her was any normal person, what's probably what they're probably trying to do here is drip out information and get her to agree to settle, and as a term of the settlement, she steps down, she resigns.
1:54:02
SPEAKER_06: Um because there's some there's something else going on here, okay?
1:54:05
SPEAKER_06: There's something like there's a feud, they hate each other for other reasons.
1:54:08
SPEAKER_06: I think there's something we don't know about, but that's gotta be their plan.
1:54:12
SPEAKER_06: However, I don't know that we're dealing with the average individual here.
1:54:16
SPEAKER_06: So far, she has said, you know, get effed.
1:54:19
SPEAKER_06: I am staying put.
1:54:20
SPEAKER_06: I made some bad jokes.
1:54:22
SPEAKER_06: Who cares?
1:54:23
SPEAKER_06: And you know, you're out as by detail.
1:54:25
SPEAKER_06: I'm getting new officers.
1:54:26
SPEAKER_06: She doesn't seem to care.
1:54:27
SPEAKER_06: So I think um good on her for sticking it out.
1:54:30
SPEAKER_11: All right, I'm gonna need a show of hands on this one, guys.
1:54:33
SPEAKER_11: Gotta take a vote.
1:54:33
SPEAKER_11: Who wants to hear from uh Mildred?
1:54:36
SPEAKER_41: I do because I I haven't listened to Mildred.
1:54:39
SPEAKER_41: I've heard of Mildred.
1:54:40
SPEAKER_11: I just haven't heard I got I got two.
1:54:42
SPEAKER_11: Isaac.
1:54:44
SPEAKER_41: No.
1:54:45
SPEAKER_41: Let's go, Millie.
1:54:46
SPEAKER_11: I mean, I don't know if Mildred.
1:54:48
SPEAKER_11: Okay, Mildred is a foe of the show, so I'll I'll keep you out of this.
1:54:51
SPEAKER_11: You're you're the deciding vote, Catherine.
1:54:52
SPEAKER_06: Uh okay.
1:54:53
SPEAKER_06: Now we gotta do it.
1:54:54
SPEAKER_06: There's too much anticipation.
1:54:56
SPEAKER_11: Okay I I apologize, everybody.
1:54:58
SPEAKER_27: Yeah, I'll defend uh mayor her.
1:55:00
SPEAKER_27: Uh when you get an ambulance chaser like Chris Maidle, uh, who only has access to grind and only wants to take down Democrat politicians, he doesn't really do anything else but that.
1:55:13
SPEAKER_38: Yeah.
1:55:14
SPEAKER_27: Um, no, this police chief sounds like an absolute wimp.
1:55:17
SPEAKER_27: And before you do what about ism, what if it was uh uh the roles were reversed, blah, blah, blah.
1:55:24
SPEAKER_27: That's not the case here.
1:55:25
SPEAKER_27: And hearing all the evidence, if you think that's sexual harassment, you are seriously regarded.
1:55:32
SPEAKER_11: Okay, hold on a second.
1:55:33
SPEAKER_11: Hold on.
1:55:34
SPEAKER_11: Regardless.
1:55:35
SPEAKER_11: Okay, regardless.
1:55:36
SPEAKER_11: Just say the word.
1:55:37
SPEAKER_11: Interesting.
1:55:40
SPEAKER_11: So you get Interesting.
1:55:42
SPEAKER_11: It is not sexual harassment when you have two colleagues, a mayor and a police chief, in an official meeting.
1:55:50
SPEAKER_11: The mayor is sitting next to the police chief and a essentially trying to give him a handy.
1:55:56
SPEAKER_11: That's what's happening.
1:55:57
SPEAKER_11: But according to Mildred, that is not sexual harassment.
1:56:03
SPEAKER_27: No, this is just uh a police chief trying to make some money and trying to get her fired and went to an ambulance chaser, loser.
1:56:13
SPEAKER_11: Okay, he's just repeating himself now.
1:56:14
SPEAKER_11: She's just repeating himself.
1:56:15
SPEAKER_11: Listen, I'm so convinced.
1:56:17
SPEAKER_11: She the Mildred has tried to tell me otherwise.
1:56:19
SPEAKER_11: I'm still convinced that the only reason why Mildred leaves comments is to just be as over the top and ridiculous as possible because nobody can be that irrationally stupid.
1:56:28
SPEAKER_39: It's it's so funny they were like, well, before you say the whataboutism if the roles were reversed, yeah, and then just kind of like moved on.
1:56:35
SPEAKER_41: It's like you can't do that.
1:56:37
SPEAKER_41: You have to address the issue if you're gonna say it.
1:56:39
SPEAKER_41: I didn't realize that that Eric from Brainerd was now Mildred.
1:56:44
SPEAKER_41: That's why I was like, oh, I want to hear the new foe of the show.
1:56:46
SPEAKER_11: Oh, that's her real name.
1:56:47
SPEAKER_11: I looked up the phone.
1:56:48
SPEAKER_11: No, I I know.
1:56:49
SPEAKER_11: Oh, I know.
1:56:50
SPEAKER_11: You didn't realize.
1:56:50
SPEAKER_11: Okay, gotcha.
1:56:51
SPEAKER_41: I'm connected I'm slow.
1:56:52
SPEAKER_41: All right, so it took me a while to connect the pieces.
1:56:55
SPEAKER_41: At first, I thought this was a brand new person named Mildred.
1:56:58
SPEAKER_38: No, I apologize.
1:57:00
SPEAKER_41: If I would have known that it was this person, I would have actually not raised my hand.
1:57:03
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I would say ban from here on out the rest of the show.
1:57:06
SPEAKER_06: Okay.
1:57:06
SPEAKER_06: Although I did kind of think that, like, you know, this is a little overblown until the touching came into play.
1:57:11
SPEAKER_06: I do think that that is kind of certainly a line.
1:57:13
SPEAKER_06: And if any of my coworkers ever tries to touch me anywhere ever at any time, I will go ballistic.
1:57:19
SPEAKER_06: So I understand that.
1:57:20
SPEAKER_06: But funny jokes, you know, I don't know.
1:57:22
SPEAKER_06: She made his package larger.
1:57:24
SPEAKER_06: That's kind of like nice.
1:57:26
SPEAKER_11: Well, it was funny peering.
1:57:28
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
1:57:29
SPEAKER_11: Well, it was it's funny you bring that up, Catherine, because I mentioned that when I was going to the details of the story yesterday, because we have the the the Monday staff meeting, and you and I sit next to each other, and the whole time I'm reading it, I'm going, if this was going either way, if I was doing this to her, she was doing this to me, like the upheaval that would ensue in that staff meeting, I'd be bounced out of here so quick and make your head spin.
1:57:54
SPEAKER_11: You can't be doing that.
1:57:54
SPEAKER_11: You can't be touching it.
1:57:55
SPEAKER_11: No, no, even regardless of your father sitting to the right of me for crying out loud.
1:58:00
SPEAKER_41: I I do like that Mildred was like, eh, you know, this really isn't a massive thing.
1:58:08
SPEAKER_41: Even if you reverse their genders and roles, no way that that dude chick, whatever, believes that that is true.
1:58:16
SPEAKER_41: And if so, you know, uh probably not accepted in the Democrat Party.
1:58:21
SPEAKER_41: But that that who am I?
1:58:23
SPEAKER_10: That blast was a 10 out of 10 rage bait.
1:58:25
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I don't believe he believes anything they were saying.
1:58:30
SPEAKER_11: I don't buy I don't buy I don't buy it for a second.
1:58:32
SPEAKER_11: Neither does the uh listeners.
1:58:37
SPEAKER_31: Which today is really dumb.
1:58:40
SPEAKER_31: Reading all the evidence that they had in the report, and I say this as somebody who actually had to turn in someone, several not same person, but behavior like this at work.
1:58:52
SPEAKER_31: Don't call him some kind of a weirdo that the thing calls, police chief turn her in because that's not acceptable, whether it's a guy or a woman.
1:59:03
SPEAKER_31: And we don't believe all women, women, sorry, and if old Juli can't keep her hormones in check, she probably needs to go check herself into some kind of institution place, along with I'm sick and tired of these women getting.
1:59:17
SPEAKER_11: Oh, she'll be the first one waiting in line when the bathhouses open up in Minneapolis.
1:59:21
SPEAKER_11: I don't doubt that for a second.
1:59:22
SPEAKER_11: Uh, I had a comment that rolled in from an incredibly beautiful and smart woman who said, So according to Mildred, it's okay for a man to be harassed as long as he's a wimp.
1:59:31
SPEAKER_11: Yes.
1:59:31
SPEAKER_11: It's basically the bottom.
1:59:32
SPEAKER_11: That's basically the bottom, the bottom, the bottom line on that.
1:59:35
SPEAKER_06: But also, what what just take yourself into this meeting where she starts feeling him up?
1:59:41
SPEAKER_06: What do you just sit there?
1:59:44
SPEAKER_11: I think he tried to move after that.
1:59:45
SPEAKER_11: He was like so awkward that he tried to.
1:59:47
SPEAKER_11: I had to go back into the story.
1:59:48
SPEAKER_11: I know.
1:59:49
SPEAKER_06: I want more of the story.
1:59:50
SPEAKER_06: Like, I don't think I would just sit there.
1:59:52
SPEAKER_06: I think I would go, I would start screaming and maybe slapping or hitting or you're gonna if you're a man, you can't really do that.
1:59:57
SPEAKER_06: But like, what it what happened?
2:00:01
SPEAKER_06: Am I wrong?
2:00:03
SPEAKER_06: Like, that's insane.
2:00:04
SPEAKER_41: Um, I mean, this goes back to something that you said like months ago.
2:00:09
SPEAKER_41: If Kali Her was Jennifer Aniston.
2:00:12
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
2:00:13
SPEAKER_41: It probably was like after the meeting, like, so wasn't we would not be here.
2:00:18
SPEAKER_41: But what was that about?
2:00:21
SPEAKER_41: Let's go here.
2:00:23
SPEAKER_24: I find this all very hilarious.
2:00:27
SPEAKER_24: I work at a prominent brewery downtown, and we were having a discussion about heat awareness because it's a brewery, and I made a joke about myself having manopause because I'm always melting.
2:00:45
SPEAKER_24: I'm 51 years old.
2:00:47
SPEAKER_24: I was never in the HR office so fast in my entire life.
2:00:53
SPEAKER_24: Literally five minutes.
2:00:55
SPEAKER_24: I was in there, had to write a letter apologizing.
2:01:00
SPEAKER_24: I still don't know what for, because the joke was myself.
2:01:05
SPEAKER_24: But there you go.
2:01:08
SPEAKER_11: Thank you for the comment.
2:01:09
SPEAKER_10: You know he should run for mayor of St.
2:01:11
SPEAKER_10: Paul.
2:01:11
SPEAKER_10: Right.
2:01:12
SPEAKER_11: Let's make it official.
2:01:34
SPEAKER_11: It's hour three of the John Justice Show presented by American Experiment.
2:01:37

2:02:00
SPEAKER_11: We have Max Reimer, aka Kamara.
2:02:03
SPEAKER_11: Indeed.
2:02:03
SPEAKER_11: New to Freedom Friday, and we actually have a uh comment that rolled into the blaster line specifically for Amanda Lamar.
2:02:09
SPEAKER_11: Thank you for being here, Amanda.
2:02:10
SPEAKER_11: Uh Catherine Johnson, the wild card, and uh, if I ever run for governor, my lieutenant governor.
2:02:14
SPEAKER_11: Although I may have to rethink that with your take on St.
2:02:16
SPEAKER_11: Paul.
2:02:16
SPEAKER_11: I think we lose the election.
2:02:18
SPEAKER_06: I'm trying to make St.
2:02:19
SPEAKER_06: Paul better.
2:02:19
SPEAKER_06: I want it to be a great place, okay?
2:02:21
SPEAKER_06: But right now, it sucks.
2:02:23
SPEAKER_11: All right.
2:02:24
SPEAKER_11: Uh does.
2:02:25
SPEAKER_06: I'm sorry.
2:02:26
SPEAKER_11: This blast that rolled in is for our uh our new guest, Amanda.
2:02:29
SPEAKER_19: Amanda, please keep coming back.
2:02:32
SPEAKER_19: You're looking like, what did I get myself into by accepting to come on?
2:02:39
SPEAKER_46: Well, I love it.
2:02:39
SPEAKER_46: Maybe I will have to come back just for that.
2:02:41
SPEAKER_11: We appreciate you being here.
2:02:42
SPEAKER_11: All right, I got a list, guys.
2:02:44
SPEAKER_11: So this is going off of uh I was inspired by uh Mayor uh Horny Her.
2:02:48
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:02:48
SPEAKER_11: Apparently we're all weird because I have a list of things that people do in private.
2:02:55
SPEAKER_11: So we can run through the list and find out whether or not any of us have done any of these things.
2:02:59
SPEAKER_11: So just feel free to let me know if you guys want to chime in.
2:03:01
SPEAKER_11: Okay, you guys ready?
2:03:02
SPEAKER_10: Might plead the fifth on some of these.
2:03:03
SPEAKER_11: All right.
2:03:04
SPEAKER_11: First off, I have definitely pretended this is not me, I'm going off of the list.
2:03:07
SPEAKER_11: This is what people have written of what they do in private.
2:03:11
SPEAKER_06: Okay, but some good clips forthcoming.
2:03:13
SPEAKER_11: Everyone has at least one weird little habit that they probably rather not explain if somebody walked in at the wrong moment.
2:03:19
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:03:20
SPEAKER_11: Luckily, when the community online shared their thoughts, people were very honest.
2:03:24
SPEAKER_11: So we have some of the stranger ones.
2:03:26
SPEAKER_11: First off, I have definitely pretended like I'm on a talk show or a reality show when I'm alone.
2:03:32
SPEAKER_11: When I'm cooking, I pretend I'm doing a cooking show with a live studio audience.
2:03:36
SPEAKER_11: My husband walked in one time and I had to pretend like I was talking on the phone because I was embarrassed.
2:03:41
SPEAKER_11: Does anybody take part?
2:03:43
SPEAKER_11: Has anybody done that?
2:03:45
SPEAKER_11: Can't say that I have.
2:03:46
SPEAKER_41: Can't say that I have either.
2:03:48
SPEAKER_41: So is the idea that ultimately you're like performing to an imaginary type of thing?
2:03:56
SPEAKER_41: Yes.
2:03:57
SPEAKER_41: I will say here, not a talk show.
2:03:59
SPEAKER_39: Okay, hold on.
2:04:00
SPEAKER_11: But yeah, you can you can deviate something similar.
2:04:03
SPEAKER_39: As a kid or like, you know, growing up middle school, even early high school, if you're out in the driveway shooting hoops, you think you are in front of 20,000 people.
2:04:12
SPEAKER_39: And I will say, every time a car drove by, I was like, this is the NBA scout pulling up because how well I'm shooting the ball right now.
2:04:19
SPEAKER_39: And so every time a car would drive by, I was like, I was putting on the best moves.
2:04:22
SPEAKER_39: I was I was hitting a little jab step.
2:04:24
SPEAKER_39: I was, you know, pulling up from mid-range.
2:04:26
SPEAKER_39: So I will say I have done that many a times.
2:04:29
SPEAKER_11: I don't do it at home, but I do it in the car.
2:04:32
SPEAKER_11: I'll run through, and this is more indicative because I'm a talk show host, but I do run through commentary to myself in the car.
2:04:38
SPEAKER_11: Like I'll come up with a, you know, if I'm gonna be talking about it on the show, I'll be in the car talking out loud the commentary that I plan on doing on the show.
2:04:46
SPEAKER_11: But that's more the nature of what I of what I do.
2:04:48
SPEAKER_46: I can agree with the childhood memory unlocked.
2:04:51
SPEAKER_46: I, when I was maybe like 10, 12 years old, truly thought I was Hannah Montana and would be interviewed as me and my cousin together.
2:04:59
SPEAKER_11: So not you weren't by yourself doing that.
2:05:01
SPEAKER_46: No, so maybe that makes it a little better.
2:05:03
SPEAKER_11: Uh I have two cats and I have uh I have constant ongoing conversations with them out loud.
2:05:09
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I have a dog and I do that.
2:05:10
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:05:11
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:05:11
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:05:11
SPEAKER_11: Does anybody not do that?
2:05:13
SPEAKER_11: I don't have a dog or a cat.
2:05:15
SPEAKER_11: You don't have any pets?
2:05:16
SPEAKER_10: You got your children.
2:05:20
SPEAKER_10: Conversations with the I I do talk to the children.
2:05:23
SPEAKER_11: So here's the That's good.
2:05:25
SPEAKER_10: Glad to hear from that.
2:05:26
SPEAKER_11: So here's the question I have, though.
2:05:28
SPEAKER_11: When you're talking to your pets, what kind of conversation like what kind of conversation are you having, Amanda, with your pets?
2:05:32
SPEAKER_46: Usually good girl.
2:05:33
SPEAKER_46: You're so awesome.
2:05:34
SPEAKER_46: Love you.
2:05:35
SPEAKER_46: Cuddles.
2:05:35
SPEAKER_11: You're talking about your day?
2:05:37
SPEAKER_46: Um, no.
2:05:39
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:05:39
SPEAKER_46: No, go potty.
2:05:41
SPEAKER_46: I mean the normal.
2:05:43
SPEAKER_11: Does anybody do?
2:05:44
SPEAKER_11: Okay, so I'll tell you what I do.
2:05:46
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:05:46
SPEAKER_11: I have conversations with Artemis, but I'll actually do her voice, like Sven on in Frozen.
2:05:52
SPEAKER_11: Like I'll, you know, I'll be like, I'll be like, how was you know, how was your day?
2:05:56
SPEAKER_11: What do you have?
2:05:56
SPEAKER_11: What are you doing a little bit later on today?
2:05:58
SPEAKER_11: You know, and I'll actually do the reverse do the voice, do the voice.
2:06:02
SPEAKER_39: Do the voice, come on.
2:06:03
SPEAKER_11: It's usually the same voice.
2:06:04
SPEAKER_11: It's like I'm having a great day, Dad.
2:06:05
SPEAKER_11: How about you?
2:06:06
SPEAKER_11: How was the show?
2:06:06
SPEAKER_11: Oh, the show was great today, Artemis.
2:06:08
SPEAKER_11: Thanks for asking.
2:06:09
SPEAKER_11: Do you have any plans later on today?
2:06:10
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
2:06:10
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna go outside.
2:06:11
SPEAKER_11: Probably gonna lie on the grass.
2:06:13
SPEAKER_41: I do not do that.
2:06:14
SPEAKER_11: Probably do a poop.
2:06:16
SPEAKER_11: You know, probably get really excited when Logan comes home.
2:06:19
SPEAKER_11: Like, oh, it's great, you know, it's awesome.
2:06:20
SPEAKER_11: You know, just sleep well.
2:06:21
SPEAKER_06: I slept great, you know.
2:06:22
SPEAKER_06: Logan comes home and is like, oh, what are you doing?
2:06:28
SPEAKER_11: She loves, she loves Logan.
2:06:31
SPEAKER_13: Poop pretends to be a talk show host every day.
2:06:35
SPEAKER_11: Somebody said, I uh I think John pretends to be a talk show host every day.
2:06:39
SPEAKER_11: Well it's like, yeah.
2:06:40
SPEAKER_11: Yep.
2:06:41
SPEAKER_11: Um all right, here we go.
2:06:42
SPEAKER_11: Let's go here.
2:06:43
SPEAKER_11: Uh I like hanging out in the closet, literally.
2:06:46
SPEAKER_11: When I was a kid, the closet was my safe space.
2:06:49
SPEAKER_11: I'd hide in there to get away from my siblings' parents whenever I needed alone time.
2:06:54
SPEAKER_11: In college, whenever the closet was big enough, I tried to set up a little study station after I graduated.
2:07:00
SPEAKER_11: I even slept in my apartment's walk-in closet.
2:07:03
SPEAKER_11: This sounds like a personal issue with this person.
2:07:05
SPEAKER_11: I can't imagine any of you guys hanging out in the closet.
2:07:08
SPEAKER_10: I tried to make it like a fort when I was a kid.
2:07:10
SPEAKER_10: Uh yeah, I came out of the closet a while ago.
2:07:12
SPEAKER_46: I will say, since being a mom and your kids are always all over you, it is kind of nice to I don't I don't go naturally sit in the closet, but sometimes I'll go in my room, lock the door when my husband gets home and take ten minutes.
2:07:23
SPEAKER_41: Okay.
2:07:23
SPEAKER_41: That makes sense.
2:07:24
SPEAKER_41: I can give that to you.
2:07:24
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, yeah.
2:07:25
SPEAKER_06: I think that's a like a cool thing to do.
2:07:27
SPEAKER_06: Like if your closet is big enough, it starts becoming a place where you put in, like, you know, a vanity and a place to sit and things like that.
2:07:34
SPEAKER_06: Like my dream is hanging out is hanging out in my closet.
2:07:38
SPEAKER_06: Not mine.
2:07:38
SPEAKER_06: I don't have enough money to have a closet this large.
2:07:41
SPEAKER_06: But if you look at like, you know, Kim Kardashian's closet, I don't know.
2:07:44
SPEAKER_06: They have it's a room.
2:07:46
SPEAKER_06: It's a whole room with all the clothes, and you can hang out amidst all your beautiful clothes.
2:07:50
SPEAKER_06: I would love that, but that's not really where I'm at in life yet.
2:07:53
SPEAKER_10: I just hang out in the bathroom until my legs go numb watching TikToks.
2:07:57
SPEAKER_41: Same every morning.
2:07:58
SPEAKER_41: Like I'm like, oh, I need to f I need to invent something that makes my legs not go numb.
2:08:02
SPEAKER_41: Because you stand up and you're like, oh, I'm gonna fall over.
2:08:05
SPEAKER_10: You do have to have a place when you have kids that it's like I have to retreat for a little bit, and that happens to be, like I said, our bathroom.
2:08:13
SPEAKER_10: So I I think if our closet were bigger, I could I could do this.
2:08:17
SPEAKER_10: I could hang out in the closet just to decompress and all that jazz, but right now it's the toilet until my legs go numb.
2:08:25
SPEAKER_48: So he was a couple years younger than me when I was little, and he'd come over to my closet and he'd just play in my closet, even if I wasn't home.
2:08:33
SPEAKER_48: My parents let him go do that.
2:08:34
SPEAKER_48: There's a neighbor of my closet.
2:08:36
SPEAKER_48: Oh, good.
2:08:36
SPEAKER_11: This is a neighbor, just be an E.
2:08:38
SPEAKER_41: I thought I was a weirdo.
2:08:40
SPEAKER_41: Apparently not.
2:08:42
SPEAKER_41: I'm I'm striking out on all these, except for the talk to animals.
2:08:45
SPEAKER_11: Well, this one kind of aligns with the first one.
2:08:46
SPEAKER_11: It says sometimes if I have a problem and nobody to talk to, I'll pretend to be a radio host presenting my problem.
2:08:53
SPEAKER_11: Like, I don't do that.
2:08:54
SPEAKER_11: I don't like talk no, I don't talk to myself and it I don't talk to myself like that way.
2:08:57
SPEAKER_11: No.
2:08:58
SPEAKER_11: Nobody?
2:08:58
SPEAKER_11: Anybody else?
2:08:59
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:08:59
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:09:00
SPEAKER_11: Uh this one's just weird.
2:09:01
SPEAKER_11: I regularly pick dirt out of my rug with tweezers, sometimes for hours.
2:09:06
SPEAKER_41: Are you on methamphetamines?
2:09:08
SPEAKER_11: Are you are you hunter are you Hunter Biden?
2:09:12
SPEAKER_11: That's not dirt.
2:09:13
SPEAKER_11: Is that the case?
2:09:16
SPEAKER_25: No.
2:09:16
SPEAKER_25: Is it safer than alcohol?
2:09:19
SPEAKER_25: Probably.
2:09:21
SPEAKER_11: Running through the uh things that people do in the privacy of their own home, I can't imagine anybody in the room doing this, or listeners, or really anybody in general.
2:09:30
SPEAKER_11: Sometimes I take all the stuff off my refrigerator and sit on top of it just to look at my home from a different view.
2:09:40
SPEAKER_11: This is not okay.
2:09:42
SPEAKER_11: Hold on.
2:09:42
SPEAKER_39: What is it?
2:09:42
SPEAKER_39: Hold on, hold on.
2:09:43
SPEAKER_39: No, obviously I don't do that because I'm a sane person, but it is pretty crazy seeing something from a different like you know, you kind of stand on a chair and you're like something, you're like, holy buckets, this is what this room looks like.
2:09:55
SPEAKER_39: 100%.
2:09:56
SPEAKER_39: I will give you this.
2:09:57
SPEAKER_39: I get I get the feeling they're chasing.
2:09:59
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, I guess I probably wouldn't say like that, like we we did redid all of our flooring, and um I had to get up to like basically wipe all the surface off because you get like wood dust everywhere.
2:10:10
SPEAKER_41: And I was standing up on the counter, I'm like, huh.
2:10:12
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, exactly.
2:10:14
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, but that I I don't go and do the whatever.
2:10:16
SPEAKER_41: I it's just in that moment I accepted it for what it is, and I said, probably it's not gonna happen ever again, because I don't think I ever want to redo our floors again.
2:10:25
SPEAKER_11: Uh I give my hubby obscene phone calls, a text rolled in.
2:10:30
SPEAKER_11: That's odd.
2:10:31
SPEAKER_11: Obscene.
2:10:32
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:10:33
SPEAKER_11: Tell me more.
2:10:34
SPEAKER_11: Just around what kind of more like a collie her phone call.
2:10:37
SPEAKER_11: I was just gonna say, now we've could now we've confirmed that the St.
2:10:39
SPEAKER_11: Paul mayor listens to the show.
2:10:41
SPEAKER_11: So probably does the same thing when it comes to the police chief.
2:10:44
SPEAKER_11: Uh, I eat dry ramen straight out of the package every day.
2:10:48
SPEAKER_11: That's disgusting.
2:10:48
SPEAKER_39: Oh, not every day, but that's a good one.
2:10:50
SPEAKER_39: That's a good disgusting.
2:10:51
SPEAKER_11: That's the room.
2:10:52
SPEAKER_39: So I don't eat noodles.
2:10:54
SPEAKER_39: Okay.
2:10:55
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
2:10:55
SPEAKER_11: Max, you said yes, you eat dry ramen.
2:10:57
SPEAKER_11: What?
2:10:57
SPEAKER_39: No noodles.
2:10:58
SPEAKER_39: Hang on.

SPEAKER_39: You don't eat noodles?
2:11:00
SPEAKER_39: Not a not a single noodle.
2:11:02
SPEAKER_39: Never have.
2:11:02

2:11:04
SPEAKER_39: I don't know, but it's terrible.
2:11:05
SPEAKER_39: I don't like noodles.
2:11:06
SPEAKER_39: Consistency, is that what it is?
2:11:07
SPEAKER_39: Consistency.
2:11:08
SPEAKER_39: I have three big things: no noodles, no Asian food.
2:11:10
SPEAKER_39: What?
2:11:11
SPEAKER_39: And nothing.
2:11:12
SPEAKER_39: Nothing that swims or lives in water.
2:11:14
SPEAKER_39: All right.
2:11:15
SPEAKER_48: Awfully racist against Asian food.
2:11:18
SPEAKER_41: Yeah.
2:11:19
SPEAKER_41: Dry ramen?
2:11:20
SPEAKER_41: Never.
2:11:21
SPEAKER_41: Okay.
2:11:21
SPEAKER_41: Uh, but it is a thing that people do.
2:11:23
SPEAKER_41: Uh, it's like common in the hood and in trailer parks.
2:11:27
SPEAKER_41: They'll take uh the ramen and then they'll literally put the seasoning packets on it, and then they chomp on it.
2:11:31
SPEAKER_10: That is a great snack.
2:11:32
SPEAKER_10: In sixth grade for snack day, that's what I would do almost every day.
2:11:35
SPEAKER_10: I don't do it anymore, but you would get the block of ramen, you'd have a little plastic bag, you'd pour the seasoning on the ramen, and then you would smash it.
2:11:44
SPEAKER_10: Then you eat it and then you eat it.
2:11:46
SPEAKER_46: Amanda dry ramen?
2:11:47
SPEAKER_46: No ramen for me, dry or wet.
2:11:49
SPEAKER_10: Okay.
2:11:49

SPEAKER_06: I've never had ramen.
2:11:55
SPEAKER_41: Really?
2:11:55
SPEAKER_41: What what is going on?
2:11:57
SPEAKER_41: Ever?
2:11:58
SPEAKER_06: No, I've never had ramen.
2:11:59
unknown: So
2:12:00
SPEAKER_41: My nephew turned.
2:12:02
SPEAKER_06: Like nine even half.
2:12:03
SPEAKER_41: The freeze dried noodles.
2:12:05
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, and you put the hot water.
2:12:06
SPEAKER_06: I'm so blessed, and like I've never been poor.
2:12:08
SPEAKER_06: I didn't know that that was a thing.
2:12:10
SPEAKER_06: Like, I've never been on the streets homeless.
2:12:13
SPEAKER_06: Who's eating promise?
2:12:14
SPEAKER_41: My goodness, it's so cheap.
2:12:16
SPEAKER_41: So my nephew this year at 12 years old, he he's like, you know, me and me and my wife, we entertain a lot of our nieces and nephews because, you know, we don't have kids, but we have a lot of space.
2:12:25
SPEAKER_41: So my nephew texted me and he said, Can I have my birthday party at your place?
2:12:28
SPEAKER_41: And I was like, sure.
2:12:29
SPEAKER_41: And he's like, uh, I want to have uh, you know, a party and have a food theme.
2:12:33
SPEAKER_41: I'm like, what's your food theme?
2:12:34
SPEAKER_41: He's like, I want to have a ramen party.
2:12:36
SPEAKER_41: So quite literally, this just happened a few months ago.
2:12:40
SPEAKER_41: Uh his dad came over with a 25 pack of ramen, and we just made like probably like 12 of them.
2:12:48
SPEAKER_41: Just a huge, huge like five, 10 quart thing, you know, boil the water, and we had a ramen party.
2:12:55
SPEAKER_41: Now I I showed him the way that you can make ramen classy is you poach an egg in it.
2:13:00
SPEAKER_41: So, you know, you you basically take a separate pot, you boil the water, and then you crack an egg into it, and it becomes a poached egg, and then you put it on top so it's a little bit yolky, and it actually classens up, uh, you know, makes it classy.
2:13:14
SPEAKER_35: Hey, uh fascinating to talk to.
2:13:17
SPEAKER_34: Indeed.
2:13:18
SPEAKER_34: Yeah, I've eaten ramen right out of the package.
2:13:21
SPEAKER_34: I mean, who's got the time to microwave it for two and a half minutes?
2:13:25
SPEAKER_34: So true.
2:13:25
SPEAKER_34: Two and a half, so true.
2:13:27
SPEAKER_34: Only like six or two.
2:13:28
SPEAKER_46: It's more waiting for it to cool, I think.
2:13:30
SPEAKER_46: That takes time.
2:13:31
SPEAKER_11: Ice cubes in it.
2:13:32
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, that never works, though.
2:13:34
SPEAKER_11: It's always a weird phenomenon.
2:13:35
SPEAKER_11: Like Melinda makes this amazing soup, and it's always just ridiculously hot.
2:13:42
SPEAKER_11: So you dump a bunch of ice cubes in it, but it's like shocking how long those ice cubes actually sit in that heated water.
2:13:48
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
2:13:49
SPEAKER_11: The loss of thorough dynamics just escape me.
2:13:51
SPEAKER_11: I don't have no idea.
2:13:52
SPEAKER_11: My boys used to do like raw hot dogs, and I get it, they're already cooked, but I can't do raw, I can't do raw hot dogs.

SPEAKER_11: Can you go ahead and click on uh Catherine's mic?
2:19:14
SPEAKER_11: Catherine actually had uh Ericsson Plumbing and Heating come and pay her home a visit recently.
2:19:20
SPEAKER_06: You might remember from last week's episode that I actually, while they were you were doing this endorsement, I texted Erickson um plumbing, heating and air.
2:19:29
SPEAKER_06: I needed some basic electrical work at my house.
2:19:31
SPEAKER_06: And yesterday, so that was less than a week later, there were two guys at my house.
2:19:36
SPEAKER_06: They reinstalled new lights on the front of my house.
2:19:38
SPEAKER_06: They also helped me put in a new thermostat.
2:19:41
SPEAKER_06: It was fantastic.
2:19:42
SPEAKER_06: They came out, I mean, like literally in under a week, and it was super affordable.
2:19:45
SPEAKER_06: So um I absolutely recommend uh Ericsson home heating and air.
2:19:49
SPEAKER_11: I uh ihearterikson.com.
2:19:51
SPEAKER_11: That is the website, iHeartErickson.com, or call them today, just like Catherine did.
2:19:55
SPEAKER_11: 763-783-4545.
2:19:58
SPEAKER_11: That's seven six three seven eight three forty-five forty-five.
2:20:01
SPEAKER_11: And be sure to tell them that John Justice has sent you.
2:21:19
SPEAKER_11: Her first Freedom Friday appearance, Turning Point USA Families chapter president in Apple Valley, Amanda Lamar, has joined us in studio.
2:21:25
SPEAKER_11: Thank you for being here, Amanda.
2:21:26
SPEAKER_46: Thanks for having me.
2:21:27
SPEAKER_11: Of course, we have uh the wild card and my uh would-be lieutenant governor, Catherine Johnson, also uh individual who's not a big fan of St.
2:21:34
SPEAKER_11: Paul, apparently.
2:21:35
SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, I want better for St.
2:21:37
SPEAKER_06: Paul.
2:21:38
SPEAKER_06: Okay, make St.
2:21:39
SPEAKER_06: Paul great again.
2:21:39
SPEAKER_11: Okay, so you so it's tough love, is what you're saying.
2:21:42
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
2:21:43
SPEAKER_06: Okay.
2:21:43
SPEAKER_41: Yeah.
2:21:43
SPEAKER_11: AK Kamara.
2:21:44
SPEAKER_41: Indeed, it's it's a Michelle Tefoya type of tough love where she loves Minnesota, but at the same time, there's things that happen in Minnesota because of our poorly run Democrat-controlled government that make you feel embarrassed.
2:21:59
SPEAKER_41: But it doesn't mean that you hate or dislike Minnesota.
2:22:01
SPEAKER_06: Such a good point.
2:22:02
SPEAKER_06: And all the defenders say, I used to live in St.
2:22:05
SPEAKER_06: Paul.
2:22:05
SPEAKER_06: You guys, it's gotten worse.
2:22:09
SPEAKER_11: Also, a uh rhymer named Max is with us as well.
2:22:12
SPEAKER_11: Hey, Max.
2:22:12
SPEAKER_11: I don't mind St.
2:22:13
SPEAKER_11: Paul.
2:22:14
SPEAKER_11: I'm down there quite often.
2:22:16
SPEAKER_11: We were talking earlier in the hour about the uh now lawsuit against Mayor Cooley Her in St.
2:22:21
SPEAKER_11: Paul, and I found this list.
2:22:22
SPEAKER_11: I thought it was uh apropos.
2:22:24
SPEAKER_11: Apparently, we're all weird, according to the list.
2:22:27
SPEAKER_11: This is a list of things that people do when they're private.
2:22:30
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:22:30
SPEAKER_11: So uh where are we at?
2:22:32
SPEAKER_11: Here we are.
2:22:32
SPEAKER_11: Now we're here on this one.
2:22:33
SPEAKER_11: Uh I pretend I'm a World War II Soviet tank, a T-3485 on the lookout for German tanks when I walk outside.
2:22:41
SPEAKER_11: I am a historian who developed a love for that tank while studying World War II.
2:22:46
SPEAKER_11: I do it because it's fun.
2:22:48
SPEAKER_11: So basically, he's live action role-playing when he's out in public.
2:22:51
SPEAKER_11: So does anybody, anybody in the room, ever do anything like that?
2:22:54
SPEAKER_39: I can't even imagine how he like what they're talking about.
2:22:57
SPEAKER_39: Okay.
2:22:57
SPEAKER_46: That just reminds me of the kids in high school that would like run down the hall with their arms behind them.
2:23:02
SPEAKER_10: Naruto.
2:23:04
SPEAKER_10: Yes.
2:23:05
SPEAKER_10: I don't know if that's those are the cool kids to me.
2:23:07
SPEAKER_11: Well I'm gonna be the odd anime kid.
2:23:10
SPEAKER_10: We ran it.
2:23:10
SPEAKER_11: The anime, that's what it was.
2:23:11
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna be the odd one of the bunch, and we're gonna go there via this uh blast that rolled in.
2:23:17
unknown: From Duluth.
2:23:20
SPEAKER_11: Oh, it's hard to hear, so I'll read it.
2:23:21
SPEAKER_11: It's Joe from Duluth, and he says, I'm pretty sure that John has pretended using the force whenever he goes through an automatic door.
2:23:29
SPEAKER_11: A hundred percent.
2:23:30
SPEAKER_11: A hundred percent.
2:23:32
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, this.
2:23:33
SPEAKER_11: If you see me go through any uh Walmart, Target, you name it.
2:23:36
SPEAKER_11: Anytime I go through, I'm doing this right before the door opens.
2:23:40
SPEAKER_11: Every single time.
2:23:41
SPEAKER_11: What is it?
2:23:42
SPEAKER_11: I'm using the force.
2:23:43
SPEAKER_11: He's using the force.
2:23:44
SPEAKER_11: Automatic door.
2:23:45
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:23:45
SPEAKER_11: Okay, and I'm gonna take it one step further.
2:23:47
SPEAKER_11: Something else that I do at home when no one else is around, and I can't believe I'm gonna admit this on the air.
2:23:51
SPEAKER_11: So I have a couple of uh lightsabers at home, some really nice ones.
2:23:55
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:23:56
SPEAKER_11: Uh one of them is right outside the bathroom door in my office, last bedroom.
2:24:01
SPEAKER_11: Because for those that don't know, with the I go to bed at 2 30, I'm up at, or go to bed at 6 30, I'm up at 2.30, so Melinda and I sleep in separate rooms.
2:24:07
SPEAKER_11: Uh so there is an occasion, you know, on you know, when it's dark and I need to get around.
2:24:12
SPEAKER_11: I'll grab the I'll grab the lightsaber and use it for a light, but then in that moment, I may do a little twirling.
2:24:17
SPEAKER_11: I might twirl it around a little tiny bit in the privacy of my own home.
2:24:21
SPEAKER_11: So I don't mind uh I guess I do mind admitting.
2:24:23
SPEAKER_11: This is a safe place.
2:24:24
SPEAKER_11: It's a safe place.
2:24:25
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I did.
2:24:25
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I just kind of you know spinning around.
2:24:26
SPEAKER_41: I got a really good twirl on my lightsaber, so I just want to I would be afraid of like uh you know just kind of groggy and you do a little flip and it just flings and just makes just a loud crash.
2:24:37
SPEAKER_11: Oh, it's happened.
2:24:38
SPEAKER_11: It's hit the collections before.
2:24:40
SPEAKER_11: I've swung it too far and it's knocked something on the counter, and I've had to go and and clean things, clean things up.
2:24:45
SPEAKER_10: So I just gotta say, apart from the ramen one on this list, and I know we uh all have our idiosyncrasies, but this list is psychotic.
2:24:54
SPEAKER_10: It is pretending you're a tank, like it's basically live action role playing.
2:24:59
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, but there's a difference between live action role-playing a human being or a humanoid of some kind, pretending you're a character, and then pretending you're a tank.
2:25:09
SPEAKER_10: Like that's institutionalized behavior.
2:25:13
SPEAKER_11: Somebody had asked if I uh do sound effects with those twirls.
2:25:17
SPEAKER_11: I don't have to because my lightsabers make noise all by themselves.
2:25:20
SPEAKER_11: They have batteries with me.
2:25:21
SPEAKER_11: You have you have the high price lightsaber.
2:25:23
SPEAKER_11: Well, I've got some really nice ones.
2:25:24
SPEAKER_11: I do.
2:25:25
SPEAKER_11: Uh let's see.
2:25:26
SPEAKER_11: I pretend to have a huge social media following and give my followers pep talks about how they feel about their appearance when I get ready in front of the mirror.
2:25:36
SPEAKER_41: Psychotic.
2:25:37
SPEAKER_06: Like an influencer.
2:25:38
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, like uh get ready with me.
2:25:39
SPEAKER_06: I'm sure like a lot of women do that.
2:25:41
SPEAKER_06: I don't really I don't talk, a lot of these are talking to yourself base.
2:25:45
SPEAKER_06: I don't feel like I do that a lot.
2:25:46
SPEAKER_06: Like I have this stuff in my head.
2:25:47
SPEAKER_06: Like I'll have conversations in my head, but I'm not like an out loud talker.
2:25:51
SPEAKER_06: But I bet a lot of women are doing that.
2:25:52
SPEAKER_06: Like, get ready with me, and they pretend that they're recording and they talk about their day or whatever.
2:25:56
SPEAKER_41: So, okay, this is important because I was thinking this that is it that the like the tank guy, is he verbalizing audibly that he's a tank?
2:26:05
SPEAKER_41: No, I think in their brain.
2:26:07
SPEAKER_41: I think he's doing it in his brain.
2:26:08
SPEAKER_41: Okay.
2:26:08
SPEAKER_41: Yeah.
2:26:09
SPEAKER_41: So that that does make it a little bit different for me, at least the last one.
2:26:12
SPEAKER_41: I don't do, I don't do like a tank or anything, but sometimes I when I walk into a place, I will imagine scenarios.
2:26:20
SPEAKER_41: So, like when I sit down in here, I know this is gonna sound a little bit out there.
2:26:24
SPEAKER_41: I imagine what if around this corner, right, some uh I saw a gun come out.
2:26:29
SPEAKER_41: What would I do?
2:26:30
SPEAKER_41: How would I be able to stop?
2:26:32
SPEAKER_41: I I play these things through my head whenever I go into a uh a different area, just so I kind of know what I would do if something happened.
2:26:39
SPEAKER_41: So I think maybe that's the idea a little bit, you know.
2:26:43
SPEAKER_41: Obviously, I I'm not envisioning someone coming in and murdering everyone, but what would I do?
2:26:48
SPEAKER_41: What could I use to stop that person?
2:26:51
SPEAKER_11: What was the study that just came out of some people can internalize or talk in their heads, but others can't?
2:26:58
SPEAKER_11: What was that?
2:26:58
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, yeah.
2:26:59
SPEAKER_41: It's the inner monologue.
2:27:00
SPEAKER_41: So apparently a relatively large percentage of people have no inner monologue.
2:27:04
SPEAKER_41: So like I talk to myself all the time.
2:27:06
SPEAKER_41: 100%.
2:27:07
SPEAKER_41: Like in my brain, I'm like saying stuff all the time.
2:27:09
SPEAKER_41: Uh some people don't though at all.
2:27:11
SPEAKER_41: So if you ask that work, I inner monologue.
2:27:14
SPEAKER_11: Isaac inner monologue?
2:27:15
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, of course.
2:27:15
SPEAKER_11: Okay, Max inner monologue.
2:27:17
SPEAKER_10: I'm wondering how you think if you don't have one.
2:27:20
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.
2:27:20
SPEAKER_11: Like how do you process thinking?
2:27:22
SPEAKER_41: No, so uh apparently a decent percentage of the people don't.
2:27:25
SPEAKER_41: They just sit there with nothing that they think of.
2:27:27
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, they don't like speak in their brain, they don't they don't speak in their in their brain.
2:27:31
SPEAKER_06: You know the people that insist on like being on FaceTime everywhere they go or being like on a phone on speaker?
2:27:36
SPEAKER_06: That's like something we're always my husband and I are always pointing out like no inner monologue, you know?
2:27:39
SPEAKER_06: Like if you're like not the brightest and you just get bored, you have to call someone because you can't just think too.
2:27:46
SPEAKER_06: Entertain yourself.
2:27:46
SPEAKER_06: I have no idea if that's real, but like that's our joke.
2:27:49
SPEAKER_11: Let's go here.
2:27:50
SPEAKER_06: Stop it.
2:27:51
SPEAKER_07: Every foe of the show is sitting back giggling their butts off, going, Yep.
2:27:57
SPEAKER_07: See?
2:27:57
SPEAKER_07: Told you.
2:27:58
SPEAKER_07: Them conservatives is crazy.
2:28:00
SPEAKER_11: No, it's just people are strange and do strange things.
2:28:03
SPEAKER_17: Yep, we're all right.
2:28:05
SPEAKER_46: Are these only conservative things?
2:28:07
SPEAKER_46: No, no, not at all.
2:28:08
SPEAKER_11: No, I got this from BuzzFeed for crying out loud.
2:28:10
SPEAKER_11: It's one of the most liberal list sites that you could you could go to.
2:28:14
SPEAKER_11: So let me put it this.
2:28:15
SPEAKER_11: Let me, while I work through the other few here, is there anything that you guys, can you think of anything weird that you so if you were answering this question, right?
2:28:24
SPEAKER_11: Everyone, um, things that you do in private that you might be embarrassed to say, you know, I'm keeping it clean, that you might be embarrassed to have somebody walk in on.
2:28:33
SPEAKER_11: Is anybody, is there anything, uh Isaac?
2:28:35
SPEAKER_39: The first thing that comes to mind, I'm gonna put my mom on blast.
2:28:37
SPEAKER_39: She's actually listening right now, so shout out mom.
2:28:40
SPEAKER_39: Is you know how everyone talks with their hands?
2:28:42
SPEAKER_39: I'm a big talk with my hands person.
2:28:44
SPEAKER_39: I'm too.
2:28:45
SPEAKER_39: I every once in a while I'll catch myself, and I've caught my mom doing this, of thinking with our hands.
2:28:49
SPEAKER_39: So like you're having that inner monologue and your hands are kind of going like you're talking a lot.
2:28:53
SPEAKER_39: So it's like all of a sudden you're thinking about something, you're trying to make a point.
2:28:56
SPEAKER_39: It's like you're talking with your hands, but no one's saying anything.
2:28:59
SPEAKER_39: That's probably one that that came down the gene pool.
2:29:02
SPEAKER_10: Max, anything I've been racking my brain.
2:29:05
SPEAKER_10: I one, I don't think I'd be embarrassed because I don't I don't know, I don't really get embarrassed about anything, but I like some of these examples of pretending you're a tank or hiding in your closet and living like I don't know.
2:29:18
SPEAKER_10: I can't think of anything that I do.
2:29:20
SPEAKER_10: I sing, I sing in the shower.
2:29:23
SPEAKER_10: I sometimes instead of s saying things to my kids, I'll invent a song about it, but I'm not like I don't know that I that's fun to me.
2:29:32
SPEAKER_10: AK?
2:29:33
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, I'm kind of the same way, Max.
2:29:35
SPEAKER_41: Like, there's odd, quirky things that I do.
2:29:37
SPEAKER_41: Like, I sing things a lot.
2:29:39
SPEAKER_41: Like I'll just randomly, if I'm responding to someone, like even at like at work, I will sing it.
2:29:44
SPEAKER_41: Um, so I do that's actually on the list.
2:29:46
SPEAKER_11: There's one of these on the list, yeah.
2:29:48
SPEAKER_11: So okay.
2:29:48
SPEAKER_41: The other thing, uh, my wife and I about you know, there was the the one of like uh the talk back or whatever, the blast about they talk, what was it, dirty to each other, whatever.
2:30:00
SPEAKER_41: Me and my wife don't do that, but we use verbiage, we talk to each other very it's like a thing that we do.
2:30:06
SPEAKER_41: We're very ghetto to each other.
2:30:08
SPEAKER_41: So like I I will put on like the super ghetto accent and drop a lot of n-bombs, and my wife will also do the same.
2:30:15
SPEAKER_41: Um, you know, you can do that though, yeah.
2:30:18
SPEAKER_41: And then sometimes, like, if something happens, I'll put on like a southern accent and I'll drop like a hard R.
2:30:24
SPEAKER_41: Um But again, these are things that I do even when there's other people around, it's just most people aren't in our house all the time.
2:30:31
SPEAKER_41: So I'd like to nephews think we are wild.
2:30:33
SPEAKER_39: Can we hear that accent?
2:30:37
SPEAKER_41: Hey there, boy.
2:30:39
SPEAKER_41: Like something happened.
2:30:40
SPEAKER_41: That sounded like the Tim R.
2:30:41
SPEAKER_41: That sounded like the Tim Walls impression.
2:30:46
SPEAKER_11: So, you know, that's such a dangerous move, though, and I'll tell you why, because our phones are listening to us all the time.
2:30:53
SPEAKER_11: Like you've been flagged for the number of times that you've dropped inappropriate language, just I'm not even joking, just yesterday.
2:31:00
SPEAKER_11: We were having a conversation in the house, and I was yelling through two different rooms with Melinda.
2:31:06
SPEAKER_11: Kyle needed to go and get the brakes checked on Junior.
2:31:09
SPEAKER_11: That's his car.
2:31:10
SPEAKER_11: And so we were talking about that.
2:31:11
SPEAKER_11: She was driving the car, she noticed there was something weird going on with the brakes.
2:31:15
SPEAKER_11: We needed to go and you know make an appointment for it.
2:31:18
SPEAKER_11: Five less than five minutes later, I went down to my office, I opened up my email, and I had an email from Tires Plus with a hundred dollars off of a brake inspection service.
2:31:28
SPEAKER_11: So you cannot tell me your phones aren't listening to you.
2:31:30
SPEAKER_41: So right now you're flagged somewhere because of all the language you've used, AK.
2:31:33
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, yeah.
2:31:34
SPEAKER_41: My wife watches Black Beauty.
2:31:36
SPEAKER_41: I don't know if you guys have ever heard of that.
2:31:37
SPEAKER_41: Uh go and watch it.
2:31:39
SPEAKER_41: Uh, but it is like a super, super ghetto black show where every other word's like the n-word.
2:31:44
SPEAKER_41: Um, but my wife loves like reality shows and drama shows like that.
2:31:47
SPEAKER_41: So it's kind of just how we talk.
2:31:49
SPEAKER_11: Amanda, anything in private you wouldn't want anybody to walk in on?
2:31:52
SPEAKER_46: I feel like I'm like Max.
2:31:53
SPEAKER_46: I don't get embarrassed very easily.
2:31:56
SPEAKER_46: And this is just reminding me of my mom's advice to me that you shouldn't be embarrassed about anything in life unless you have diarrhea in public.
2:32:03
SPEAKER_46: That's like the only thing she says is the program.
2:32:06
SPEAKER_46: And I haven't had that happen yet.
2:32:08
SPEAKER_06: So isn't there a story related to that maybe in the stack about the 10 minute toilets in New York?
2:32:16
SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, I do have that in the stack.
2:32:18
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:32:19
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no, I don't know.
2:32:19
SPEAKER_11: I'll leave it up.
2:32:20
SPEAKER_06: I'm sure I do a lot of embarrassing things, but I mostly do them in public.
2:32:23
SPEAKER_06: I mean, I think AK's is maybe a little similar to me.
2:32:26
SPEAKER_06: I'd say I have a pretty crude sense of humor in the way I speak off air.
2:32:32
SPEAKER_06: It's very crude.
2:32:33
SPEAKER_06: I swear a lot.
2:32:34
SPEAKER_06: And, you know, my husband always says, I swear like more than anyone else he knows, like a sailor.
2:32:38
SPEAKER_06: And so I I that's maybe mine where I have to go back and forth a little bit.
2:32:43
SPEAKER_06: And we both have a sense of humor that I think would surprise some people.
2:32:45
SPEAKER_06: It's a little bit, uh yeah, I don't know.
2:32:48
SPEAKER_11: Let's go back to the uh blaster line.
2:32:50
SPEAKER_40: Great show this morning.
2:32:51
SPEAKER_40: Uh, I know what Max's embarrassing thing he does at home alone is it's rationalizing the votes that he's taken.
2:32:59
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:33:00
SPEAKER_11: Is there any truth to that, Max?
2:33:02
SPEAKER_11: You're you're sitting at home rationalizing the votes that you've taken.
2:33:06
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, that's a good one.
2:33:07
SPEAKER_10: That's a good one.
2:33:08
SPEAKER_10: How am I going to explain this one?
2:33:11
SPEAKER_13: Oh boy.
2:33:12
SPEAKER_13: Good morning, John and crew.
2:33:14
SPEAKER_13: Uh, Victor here.
2:33:15
SPEAKER_13: Um, I have to agree with AK.
2:33:18
SPEAKER_13: I am a white dude.
2:33:20
SPEAKER_13: I'm married to a white woman.
2:33:23
SPEAKER_13: We say the most racist things to each other all the time.
2:33:27
SPEAKER_13: Yep.
2:33:28
SPEAKER_13: That's just because I'm comfortable with this woman.
2:33:31
SPEAKER_13: She knows I don't mean it in a derogatory way.
2:33:35
SPEAKER_13: We do it all the time.
2:33:36
SPEAKER_11: Well, and you know what, and not to get not to get really deep on this, but this is this is uh this is a really uh interesting development in the conversation because growing up amongst your buddies, this is how you talk to each other.
2:33:50
SPEAKER_11: Oh, yeah.
2:33:51
SPEAKER_11: You weren't racist, you weren't trying to go and belittle anybody else.
2:33:56
SPEAKER_11: You know, you were just shooting the poop, essentially.
2:33:59
SPEAKER_11: You know, and And the race relations were actually better.
2:34:03
SPEAKER_11: You understood when it was appropriate and when it wasn't appropriate.
2:34:07
SPEAKER_11: It didn't mean that you were any particular way or that you were a racist.
2:34:11
SPEAKER_11: And you know, you certainly wouldn't do that now with society.
2:34:13
SPEAKER_11: You wouldn't do it in front of certain people because you don't want to be disrespectful.
2:34:16
SPEAKER_11: But among your family, among your friends, that's just how you talk to each other.
2:34:21
SPEAKER_11: We now live in a society where if you get caught having a conversation like that with somebody else, you're going to get ostracized.
2:34:27
SPEAKER_11: You're never going to be able to work again.
2:34:29
SPEAKER_11: But that would, this is this is a common thing.
2:34:32
SPEAKER_11: And actually, I'm of the opinion that race relations and that bias that seeps in, we were in a much better place when we could have more fun with this and joke and mock all the controversies that the that the leftists want to go and take advantage of.
2:34:46
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, because it's about having humor.
2:34:49
SPEAKER_41: Like I think that there's this level that people have accepted for all of I guess our human existence, that you can make light of things and you can have fun.
2:35:00
SPEAKER_41: And then when woke crept in, they're like, oh, you can't even joke about these things.
2:35:04
SPEAKER_41: It's like that's never been how we've ever dealt with anything in life.
2:35:08
SPEAKER_41: And you get into this whole like hierarchy of suffering and oppression that is absurd because every single race, every single ethnicity, every single group of people have suffered in some way, shape, or form somewhere throughout the line of humanity.
2:35:24
SPEAKER_41: It's just you can make light of what is happening.
2:35:28
SPEAKER_41: And I think that's what was the worst part about woke one, and even to this day, is like you'll see these awful joke writing.
2:35:36
SPEAKER_41: Like I just watched Peacemaker, and they try and like inject their little versions of like anti uh you know racism into the and it's not funny, so they'll like they'll they'll do a thing where it would have been funny if they would have said the actual thing.
2:35:51
SPEAKER_41: It's a show that shows you know nudity, and they won't say the n-word, and they have they go into Nazi world and they're like, there's a black, get them.
2:36:01
SPEAKER_41: And I'm like, if it was any, they would say the word and that would make it funnier.
2:36:06
SPEAKER_41: Because like, you know, but that's not what they do.
2:36:08
SPEAKER_06: Well, I've said this before, but I think that this is a lot of the reason you see people in Gen Z, especially having a sense of humor that just like appalls a lot of older people.
2:36:17
SPEAKER_06: I think that's sort of sort of how my husband and I ended up having a kind of crude sense of humor, too, is because we went to a college where if you would even say, you know, oh, women and men are different, you were like locked in a back room, right?
2:36:28
SPEAKER_06: So now the thing that I think a lot of Gen Z finds funniest is when you're super absurd.
2:36:33
SPEAKER_06: You're saying things that you're not supposed to be saying, you're saying absurdities.
2:36:38
SPEAKER_06: Um that's really funny.
2:36:39
SPEAKER_06: And I think that appalls a lot of older people, but it comes out of the situation that they created by putting so much of our language off limits that now what's funny to the youngest generation is really insane to the oldest.
2:36:51
SPEAKER_39: Well, and that's a quick tangent too here, because that's why, like, you know, you make a joke with friends, family growing up, then they can be like in the safety of your own home and you can be like, hey, that's that's too far.
2:37:00
SPEAKER_39: And that's how you learn as a kid, like, oh, that's too far, that's funny, whatever.
2:37:03
SPEAKER_39: Now, when the left takes it and there's no line anymore, everything's across the line, then there's no difference between a harmless joke and something legitimately racist.
2:37:13
SPEAKER_39: And that's way more dangerous to society, and that's how you end up with, you know, like Nick Fuentes and stuff like that, or versus because the left sees that as the same as making some like some random joke that is funny that everyone would laugh at.
2:37:25
SPEAKER_46: Right.
2:37:26
SPEAKER_46: And context is a big thing too.
2:37:27
SPEAKER_46: Like, so much of this is just on social media.
2:37:29
SPEAKER_46: You pull it out ten years later, and it makes absolutely no sense.
2:37:33
SPEAKER_46: I remember that even after Charlie Kirk died, they there was slides of here are five of the most racist things Charlie Kirk has ever said.
2:37:40
SPEAKER_46: And then you go listen to uh him actually talking about it for 10 minutes, and you totally it's like this is just common sense, like what he's saying.
2:37:46
SPEAKER_46: But they took the one line completely out of context years later, not people not aware of the global situation going on, and he looks like a racist.
2:37:56
SPEAKER_11: So let's wrap this list up by just mocking the remaining ones because I know that none of us do any of these, okay?
2:38:02
SPEAKER_11: All right.
2:38:02
SPEAKER_11: Uh I see I read obituaries and then search for people on social media to see what their lives were like.
2:38:08
SPEAKER_11: Actually, I do that all the time.
2:38:10
SPEAKER_11: Shut up.
2:38:12
SPEAKER_41: I mean, not not intentionally, not intentionally, but yeah, like if I come across something, I I will go and I'm like, I wonder who their friends are.
2:38:19
SPEAKER_41: What kind of stuff do they post?
2:38:20
SPEAKER_41: And like I actually do this in my job in the insurance industry.
2:38:24
SPEAKER_41: When I talk to someone, I go and I look at their life to be like, what's going on?
2:38:28
SPEAKER_41: It's just like, and it's for no reason.
2:38:30
SPEAKER_10: I've done that.
2:38:31
SPEAKER_10: I've done that before.
2:38:31
SPEAKER_10: I don't think it's that weird.
2:38:32
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I think it's the same thing.
2:38:33
SPEAKER_10: I do not know my freedom from it.
2:38:35
SPEAKER_10: Listen, if you have somebody who announces like the death of a friend or family on social media, well, they're they're putting it out there.
2:38:42
SPEAKER_10: So I want to get a sense for who this person was.
2:38:45
SPEAKER_10: I'll like look up if they have a Facebook profile that still exists, I'll look that up too.
2:38:50
SPEAKER_10: It's I don't think it's that weird.
2:38:51
SPEAKER_10: I've never done that.
2:38:53
SPEAKER_10: Amanda, have you done that?
2:38:54
SPEAKER_46: You know, I have, and I I just always want to know like what when it comes, if I don't know why someone died, I'm like, did was this sudden?
2:39:01
SPEAKER_46: Did they know?
2:39:02
SPEAKER_46: And I'll look at kind of their last post.
2:39:04
SPEAKER_46: And I just did this the other day, and a guy said, Next week I'm doing this, and then he it was announced he was dead.
2:39:10
SPEAKER_46: I'm like, okay, I don't know what happened, but Catherine?
2:39:13
SPEAKER_46: Oh, I'm sure I've done that.
2:39:14
SPEAKER_46: Yeah.
2:39:14
SPEAKER_06: I'm big on online stalking, you know, so I'm sure that's yeah.
2:39:17
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I don't think I I usually look up I look up causes of death.
2:39:21
SPEAKER_11: Always.
2:39:22
SPEAKER_11: I always make sure if I see a story of somebody, and it's a personal thing for me because I'm pretty much always just walking around close to death.
2:39:27
SPEAKER_11: So um because of my heart issues, it can happen at any moment.
2:39:30
SPEAKER_11: Um, but I've never gone in.
2:39:32
SPEAKER_11: I've never I don't think I have.
2:39:34
SPEAKER_11: That's weird.
2:39:34
SPEAKER_11: Okay, I was wrong.
2:39:35
SPEAKER_11: All right, well, maybe we're wrong on all of these.
2:39:37
SPEAKER_11: Have you guys put a towel between your butt cheeks and walked around while drying off?
2:39:41
SPEAKER_11: Um haven't done that.
2:39:43
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, kind of.
2:39:44
SPEAKER_41: But not not not to the cheek.
2:39:47
SPEAKER_41: I do this thing, my wife laughs.
2:39:48
SPEAKER_41: Um I when I get out of the shower, I go and stand in front of a fan and I towel myself.
2:39:53
SPEAKER_41: And she's always like, What are you doing?
2:39:55
SPEAKER_41: I'm like, I'm just making sure I'm completely dry, you know?
2:39:58
SPEAKER_11: You're like uh Cuba Gooding Jr.
2:40:00
SPEAKER_11: in uh in Jerry Maguire, you know.
2:40:02
SPEAKER_11: I air dry.
2:40:03
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, yeah.
2:40:04
SPEAKER_41: But I like I literally will like fan myself with the with the towel.
2:40:08
SPEAKER_11: I don't want to be inappropriate and put us in a coolie her situation.
2:40:11
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna move on and not even ask the ladies here.
2:40:13
SPEAKER_11: Um when my earlobes are cold from being outside, I fold them into my ear canal and hold them there.
2:40:20
SPEAKER_39: Oh yeah.
2:40:20
SPEAKER_39: I do not do that.
2:40:21
SPEAKER_39: Never done.
2:40:22
SPEAKER_39: Nope.
2:40:22
SPEAKER_39: Can't gotta admit, I've done that.
2:40:24
SPEAKER_06: I think it depends what kind of earlobe you have.
2:40:26
SPEAKER_06: Like, is it connected to your ear or is it not?
2:40:28
SPEAKER_06: Because I can do that with one of my ears, not the other one.
2:40:30
SPEAKER_06: One of them's connected.
2:40:30
SPEAKER_41: You tried?
2:40:31
SPEAKER_41: What?
2:40:31
SPEAKER_41: I've never even tried this before.
2:40:32
SPEAKER_41: What are you talking about?
2:40:33
SPEAKER_41: You have two different types of ears.
2:40:35
SPEAKER_10: So you like kind of like fold your shut up.
2:40:37
SPEAKER_06: It's a genetic abnormality.
2:40:39
SPEAKER_06: You're not supposed to be able to.
2:40:40
unknown: Huh.
2:40:40
SPEAKER_06: Fun fact about it.
2:40:41
SPEAKER_10: Wait, wait, wait.
2:40:42
SPEAKER_10: So it just doesn't bend or you don't have an earlobe?
2:40:44
SPEAKER_10: No, no, no.
2:40:45
SPEAKER_06: So you can have earlobes that are not.
2:40:46
SPEAKER_06: Show us your earlobe.
2:40:47
SPEAKER_10: Take off your take off your headphones.
2:40:48
SPEAKER_06: One of my ears is also really small, so I don't know.
2:40:50
SPEAKER_06: Uh, but like, either they're not connected or they're connected.
2:40:53
SPEAKER_06: If they're connected, I imagine this is impossible for you.
2:40:56
SPEAKER_06: But if they're unconnected, you can kind of like put your earlobe in your ear.
2:40:59
SPEAKER_06: And I have one of each.
2:41:00
SPEAKER_41: Interesting.
2:41:01
SPEAKER_11: Learning a lot about you guys today.
2:41:03
SPEAKER_11: Um, this person says, I like to stand in front of my sink and eat snacks using weird utensils, a measuring cup instead of a spoon for ice cream, chopsticks for popcorn, tongs and monsterbrella sticks.
2:41:16
SPEAKER_11: That's funny.
2:41:16
SPEAKER_11: True.
2:41:17
SPEAKER_39: This is like this person's gotta go to jail.
2:41:19
SPEAKER_39: Is it the Twitter meme where it's like when you remember you have free will?
2:41:22
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
2:41:22
SPEAKER_39: Do what you want.
2:41:23
SPEAKER_39: I can do what I want.
2:41:25
SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna do this now.
2:41:26
SPEAKER_11: Uh I save the brown paper packaging that comes in uh some Amazon boxes.
2:41:32
SPEAKER_11: Depends on the time of year.
2:41:33
SPEAKER_11: For what?
2:41:36
SPEAKER_11: No, we put it in the because we save it for uh for Christmas when we start packing packing gifts, you know?
2:41:40
SPEAKER_11: Or we're or we're mailing stuff.
2:41:42
SPEAKER_11: I kept it a lot when I was mailing books uh quite a bit.
2:41:45
SPEAKER_11: I sing stupid little songs.
2:41:47
SPEAKER_11: I make up to my fish and cats when I get home.
2:41:51
SPEAKER_11: Singing to your pets, you're singing to your pets, kind of like talking to your pets, no?
2:41:54
SPEAKER_41: Kinda, kinda.
2:41:54
SPEAKER_41: I mean, I make up the songs, but I don't sing to my dog, I sing it to my coworkers.
2:41:58
SPEAKER_11: Uh the last one on the list here was uh I talk to myself in Japanese when I'm alone.
2:42:03
SPEAKER_11: At first it started as a way to learn the language, but now all my reactions and thoughts uh are just in Japanese uh when I f when I'm by myself and I can't react any other way.
2:42:13
SPEAKER_11: I don't speak another language.
2:42:15
SPEAKER_39: I love that kind of autism.
2:42:16
SPEAKER_39: That's cool.
2:42:16
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, that's really like that's a positive.
2:42:18
SPEAKER_39: Yeah.
2:42:19
SPEAKER_11: Does anybody speak any other anybody speak any other languages in the group?
2:42:21
SPEAKER_11: Anybody know?
2:42:22
SPEAKER_41: Nah.
2:42:22
SPEAKER_41: No.
2:42:23
SPEAKER_41: I took two years of Arabic, but none of it stuck.
2:42:26
SPEAKER_11: I dated a girl for a while whose uh background was Portuguese, her mom was Portuguese, and they could speak fluent Portuguese.
2:42:31
SPEAKER_11: And often when I was over there visiting, a mom would come home, they would have conversations in Portuguese while I was standing right there, and I just assumed they were always talking about me.
2:42:38
SPEAKER_11: I still have no idea what I think.
2:42:39
SPEAKER_11: That'd be my assumption.
2:42:40
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
2:42:41
SPEAKER_11: So well, you guys brought it up before, so I'll go ahead and talk about it.
2:42:44
SPEAKER_11: New Yorkers, desperate for a place to go, are getting 17 new public bathrooms across the five boroughs, but the high-tech system meant to keep them clean and functioning is already raising concerns that the homeless New Yorkers without reliable cell phone access could struggle to get inside.
2:43:01
SPEAKER_06: Wait, you need a phone to get inside?
2:43:03
SPEAKER_06: Yep.
2:43:03
SPEAKER_11: Zor Juan Mamdani announced last week the installation has begun on f uh free modular bathrooms, part of a four million dollar year-long project aimed at addressing the city's long-standing shortage of public restrooms.
2:43:16
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
2:43:17
SPEAKER_11: The 17 new ADA accessible units operate daily from 7 a.m.
2:43:24
SPEAKER_11: to 10 p.m.
2:43:25
SPEAKER_11: and include running water flushing toilets, heat and air conditioning and baby changing stations.
2:43:31
SPEAKER_11: But entry requires a text message, QR code, and throne app.
2:43:36
SPEAKER_11: It's called the throne app from the company that operates the bathroom or a physical tap card distributed through local organizations.
2:43:45
SPEAKER_11: The requirement to drew questions at its launch over whether homeless New Yorkers and others without reliable access to a charged cell phone could face another barrier when using a public bathroom.
2:43:59
SPEAKER_41: Well, so here's the thing, right?
2:44:02
SPEAKER_41: The problem with defecation on the streets of New York or San Francisco is like 100% correlated to the drug open air drug problem that they have.
2:44:13
SPEAKER_41: Like the people that are pooping on the streets aren't like a businessman that's late for a meeting or a mom that's out with her kids.
2:44:20
SPEAKER_41: It's a like drug addict or someone suffering mental illness.
2:44:24
SPEAKER_41: So if you build a bunch of portagons for them to use and you don't have some type of barrier to entry, people will just live in them and just be doing drugs in them.
2:44:33
SPEAKER_41: So it's true.
2:44:34
SPEAKER_10: It's like it's a dumb thing to do to waste money on that literally solves no problem.
2:44:38
SPEAKER_10: It's a big reason why New York doesn't have a ton of public restrooms.
2:44:42
SPEAKER_10: And honestly, if you go down to downtown Minneapolis, downtown Minneapolis doesn't have a lot of public restrooms to begin with, like you'll have to request a key or check in or what have you.
2:44:52
SPEAKER_10: And that is because, to AK's point, it is all about the drug use in those bathrooms.
2:44:59
SPEAKER_10: And that that's what happens when you have a low trust society, and a lot of these big cities do.
2:45:03
SPEAKER_06: And leadership in New York, of course, sees the problem of people defecating in the streets and thinks, oh, more toilets.
2:45:10
SPEAKER_06: That's not the problem.
2:45:11
SPEAKER_06: That is seriously not the problem.
2:45:14
SPEAKER_11: So the free-to-pee coalition, this is the name of the free-to-pee coalition, led by Vocal NY, and the Coalition for the Homeless, welcomed the pilot program, but did raise the same concern.
2:45:27
SPEAKER_11: Many may not have a smartphone or be able to easily obtain a physical tap card to open these restrooms.
2:45:33
SPEAKER_11: Of course, then you have the whole ID argument that comes into place with all of this, right?
2:45:37
SPEAKER_11: The advocates also pointed to the limited number of locations operating hours and called on the city to seek feedback for the homeless service providers, harm reduction programs, and groups working directly with unhoused New Yorkers.
2:45:50
SPEAKER_11: The bathrooms are designed, however, for quick visits with a roughly 10-minute limit.
2:45:57
SPEAKER_11: Audio warnings come at five and eight minutes.
2:46:00
SPEAKER_11: Can you imagine the pressure?
2:46:03
SPEAKER_10: What at 10 minutes you just get launched out of the basketball?
2:46:08
SPEAKER_11: The door flies open.
2:46:09
SPEAKER_11: The 10-minute mark.
2:46:12
SPEAKER_11: Door flies open.
2:46:14
SPEAKER_11: At the 10-minute mark, lights flash and an announcement warns, the door will open.
2:46:20
SPEAKER_11: Door opening.
2:46:21
SPEAKER_11: Door opening.
2:46:22
SPEAKER_11: Throne co-founder and COO Jessica Heiselman said, users get roughly another 30 seconds.
2:46:29
SPEAKER_11: If you're still, if if you are still pants down, we're not going to open the door on you.
2:46:35
SPEAKER_11: After that warning period, however, the door will open.
2:46:40
SPEAKER_39: Who do they know whether your pants are down or not?
2:46:42
SPEAKER_11: Well, no, she's just saying that just are down, it's not going to immediately open.
2:46:50
SPEAKER_41: Pulling up your pants like it's going to take me 30 more seconds to pull up my pants.
2:46:55
SPEAKER_11: There's no way to extend the time either.
2:46:57
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, no, yeah.
2:46:58
SPEAKER_11: So you get to what hold the door shut while you finish your business?
2:47:02
SPEAKER_11: Don't come in here.
2:47:03
SPEAKER_39: Do you not re-register for another 10 minutes?
2:47:05
SPEAKER_39: Yeah, maybe.
2:47:06
SPEAKER_11: Well, probably has to be done on the outside.
2:47:09
SPEAKER_41: I think it's so funny because again, the people that are doing the defecating and the going in the bathroom in the streets, um, even I think they probably all have cell phones.
2:47:18
SPEAKER_41: They're probably just so high they don't know how to use them.
2:47:20
SPEAKER_41: Because like there's like that statistic that there's like the average person that is homeless in America has a cell phone.
2:47:27
SPEAKER_41: Like, end ID and the whole nine yards, it's just they're always on drugs, so they lose and break them all the time.
2:47:32
SPEAKER_11: Uh, the entry system is also part of Thrones maintenance plan.
2:47:35
SPEAKER_11: City officials said tracking usage will allow the company to clean each unit roughly every 10 to 15 visits.
2:47:42
SPEAKER_11: Oh, that's far companion.
2:47:44
SPEAKER_11: Users can also submit the cleanliness uh feedback electronically.
2:47:47
SPEAKER_11: I had a text that came in and it just says it's a shitty idea.
2:47:53
SPEAKER_41: Could you imagine, though, being the people that have to clean those things?
2:47:56
SPEAKER_41: My goodness.
2:47:57
SPEAKER_41: They need hazard pay.
2:47:58
SPEAKER_41: I would just say make it that it it's like a metal box and it just incinerates everything every 10 minutes.
2:48:05
SPEAKER_06: I mean, it can't be I love the state fair.
2:48:07
SPEAKER_06: As we all know, it can't be that much worse than cleaning the bathrooms at the state fair.
2:48:11
SPEAKER_06: I know that's not every year.
2:48:12
SPEAKER_11: Oh, yeah.
2:48:12
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, they're they're pretty horrendous.
2:48:15
SPEAKER_11: So this story has been gaining quite a bit of attention.
2:48:18
SPEAKER_11: A team is searching for Noah's Ark, shared a video from inside of the formation, a boat-shaped uh structure located in Turkey, preliminary radar data.
2:48:28
SPEAKER_11: Core samples suggest the structure is not solid rock, challenging the belief that it's a natural formation.
2:48:34
SPEAKER_11: Some of the researchers have said that it's a 100% confirmation that this is uh Noah's Ark.
2:48:39
SPEAKER_11: The team further hopes that analysis of the samples will provide uh evidence of the structure's uh origin.
2:48:45
SPEAKER_11: I do have a quick clip that I want to uh share.
2:48:49
SPEAKER_11: Uh, this individual is uh Joe von Hutton Pulitzer.
2:48:52
SPEAKER_11: He's one of the uh individuals that's been examining uh the site, uh, talking about the research being done.
2:48:58
SPEAKER_11: What I find personally really interesting is the actual verified real quick.
2:49:05
SPEAKER_11: Can any could this guy have more of a wonky voice to fit what he's describing here?
2:49:09
SPEAKER_04: He'd be a person that would describe the arc, yeah.
2:49:11
SPEAKER_04: Soil samples inside this thing contain three hundred percent more organic matter than the outside.
2:49:27
SPEAKER_04: Test anywhere on the outside.
2:49:29
SPEAKER_04: Again, I'm only giving you the science.
2:49:32
SPEAKER_04: Test anywhere on the outside, and then you test in the mouth of this thing, anywhere in the mouth of the thing, it has three hundred percent more organic matter.
2:49:46
SPEAKER_04: Interesting to that organic matter is it has high carbon.
2:49:52
SPEAKER_04: High carbon, when you get high carbon, you get high organic matter with elevated potassium and elevated pH shifts, scientifically is the chemical signature of decayed wood.
2:50:12
SPEAKER_11: So he goes a lot further.
2:50:13
SPEAKER_11: I don't want the eyes to glaze over more.
2:50:15
SPEAKER_11: What's interesting to me over this is that this was actually the identified spot going back to 1959.
2:50:20
SPEAKER_11: So they've been looking at this particular location for a long, long time, but the technology has now caught up to getting uh essentially to potential confirmation that this could be the uh the final resting place of uh of Noah's Ark.
2:50:34
SPEAKER_11: And I think you know, let's just go around the room.
2:50:35
SPEAKER_11: Isaac, did you have thoughts?
2:50:36
SPEAKER_11: Did you have thoughts on this?
2:50:38
SPEAKER_39: Um, I saw a tweet about this that was like, oh my gosh, here's a picture of unlike verifiable truth that Noah's Ark existed, and it was just a picture of the Bible.
2:50:47
SPEAKER_39: And that that pretty much does it for me.
2:50:50
SPEAKER_11: That's just Kate that takes care of it for you guys.
2:50:51
SPEAKER_39: That kind of takes care of it for me.
2:50:52
SPEAKER_39: Bible says it by Bible true.
2:50:54
SPEAKER_11: All right.
2:50:54
SPEAKER_11: Max, what is what's your interest in the potential discovery of Noah's Ark?
2:50:59
SPEAKER_10: I'll have to do a little bit more research on it.
2:51:00
SPEAKER_10: I my eyes did kind of glaze over when we was talking about the compounds and the organic matter, and this is a match to wood or what have you.
2:51:08
SPEAKER_10: I'm I'm always interested in this stuff.
2:51:10
SPEAKER_10: I love that there's real-time revelation uh alongside the Bible, obviously.
2:51:15
SPEAKER_10: You know, you're gonna believe it because the Bible says it.
2:51:18
SPEAKER_10: But, you know, I I like modern-day confirmation of the things like that.
2:51:24
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, I'm I'm like in the same kind of wavelength.
2:51:26
SPEAKER_41: Like I already believe it's to be truth because I'm a Christian, and I believe that uh the Bible wasn't just like just stories, it was actually history and and knowledge that was given to us by God.
2:51:39
SPEAKER_41: Uh the second thing though, because I love this type of stuff, is that we do live in a provable world.
2:51:46
SPEAKER_41: And the reason why the Noah's Ark has been kind of like this thing that people have been fascinated with is that there are whatever a percentage of people that do believe that the Bible is just a set of stories, and by having physical proof, I think that there's this belief that it helps more.
2:52:04
SPEAKER_41: But you got to understand that being a Christian is all about belief and faith.
2:52:08
SPEAKER_41: Yeah, it's not about provable science.
2:52:10
SPEAKER_41: But I always am interested because I already know it's true.
2:52:14
SPEAKER_41: Um, so it's almost like I don't know, I don't really care, but it it it it is cool when I see it, and to the point about this being the spot.
2:52:22
SPEAKER_41: So back in the 90s, they had a it was like a television primetime special.
2:52:26
SPEAKER_41: It's like finding Noah's Ark, and they I think it was like NBC or something like that, but it was this there was this site.
2:52:34
SPEAKER_41: This location, this location, which the whole thing about Turkey is super weird because they have all of these ancient sites because it's almost like the Bible was telling the truth.
2:52:44
SPEAKER_41: But you have you have um uh Gobeli Te uh Gobeki Tepeli Tepi, however you pronounce that, that is like this ancient site that the Turkish government will not let anyone excavate.
2:52:56
SPEAKER_41: Like they started to excavate it, and it has basically like carbon going back like thousands and thousands and thousands of years and very advanced information.
2:53:05
SPEAKER_41: Um, but I don't know what it is about Turkey, the government they just don't allow a lot of these sites to be excavated, and I get why, because when you excavate, you really destroy, um, just like when when they always are digging up any ancient site.
2:53:18
SPEAKER_41: So with the technology, I think it's super dope.
2:53:21
SPEAKER_41: I'm super fascinated by it.
2:53:22
SPEAKER_41: Amanda, what are your thoughts?
2:53:24
SPEAKER_46: Yeah, I think I agree a lot with AK.
2:53:26
SPEAKER_46: I mean, the I guess the question with this story, or I guess what they're putting it out to ask people is is this gonna make you believe in the Bible or not?
2:53:35
SPEAKER_46: I think there's so much evidence that the Bible is true.
2:53:37
SPEAKER_46: Uh, like you said, it is faith alone, right?
2:53:40
SPEAKER_46: That that justifies us in Christ.
2:53:42
SPEAKER_46: But the Romans talks about like evidence of God is all around us.
2:53:46
SPEAKER_46: We don't even need to like see this physical evidence, but that's just God's grace that there is physical evidence too for people who doubt.
2:53:53
SPEAKER_46: We all doubt, right?
2:53:55
SPEAKER_46: But yeah, I think I think there was even people in Jesus' time who who saw the miracles that he did and they didn't believe.
2:54:02
SPEAKER_46: So there's always going to be people like that, no matter how much evidence you give them, they're just not gonna believe.
2:54:08
SPEAKER_11: My gosh, can you imagine uh social media at the time of Jesus?
2:54:12
SPEAKER_11: I don't even fathom.
2:54:14
SPEAKER_41: His own disciples denied him being Christ and resurrecting.
2:54:20
SPEAKER_41: You gotta remember that Peter denied him three times.
2:54:23
SPEAKER_11: Now, Catherine, I know that if I say UFO, you're just gonna, but when it comes to Noah's Ark, what are your thoughts?
2:54:30
SPEAKER_06: Uh I'm a skeptic.
2:54:34
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
2:54:34
SPEAKER_06: I'm always skeptical of these kind of things.
2:54:36
SPEAKER_06: And yeah, I think the my belief in God and my my faith is totally, totally separate.
2:54:42
SPEAKER_06: Although I will say, I mean my own personal life, going to Israel a couple times was the biggest thing for really my faith in general, because you can see all of this evidence, you can look at where things happen.
2:54:54
SPEAKER_06: Um, you can see, I remember seeing the nail.
2:54:56
SPEAKER_06: I always talk about this, but the nail in the ankle bone of someone who had been um on a cross crucified.
2:55:03
SPEAKER_06: We don't have a lot of physical evidence of crucifixion ever happening, except for we have this nail in an ankle bone.
2:55:09
SPEAKER_06: And so, like things like that.
2:55:10
SPEAKER_06: I was like, wow, that's so cool.
2:55:12
SPEAKER_06: That's huge.
2:55:12
SPEAKER_06: So I'm all for it.
2:55:14
SPEAKER_06: Please, people keep doing your digging.
2:55:16
SPEAKER_06: Um, I'll tune back in in like a couple years when you have more information.
2:55:19
SPEAKER_11: I uh I I mentioned this at the start of the show, but uh I started doing a listen of the audiobook of the New King James Version, just starting from from Genesis.
2:55:29
SPEAKER_11: And I just leave I I basically I put it on.
2:55:31
SPEAKER_11: Even if I'm not, especially when you get into those opening books of the Bible and Genesis and just going through a lot of the names and all that, right?
2:55:38
SPEAKER_11: Um, but then they end up moving into the the the stories that you know I all would learn starting in in Sunday school.
2:55:44
SPEAKER_11: I will say though, that just spending time every single day, whether you're reading the Word of God or if you're listening to the audiobook, just having in the background, it's a wholesale, it's a wholesale mental change, man.
2:55:54
SPEAKER_11: Just having that exposure every single day, it just absolutely makes uh makes all the difference.
2:55:58
SPEAKER_11: Uh let me wrap up.
2:56:00
SPEAKER_11: On this, uh, as uh I watch our uh Amanda and Catherine's eyes glaze over.
2:56:06
SPEAKER_11: Um giant speaking of structures, a giant uh megalith structure spotted on the ocean floor sparks a debate.
2:56:12
SPEAKER_41: Let's go.
2:56:13
SPEAKER_06: This combines what is this?
2:56:14
SPEAKER_06: This is like ocean is the new space.
2:56:16
SPEAKER_06: I'm like, ugh.
2:56:18
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
2:56:18
SPEAKER_11: A self-described UFO researcher Scott Waring identified the enormous rectangular-shaped anomaly, suggesting uh it's approximately 10 miles long and four miles wide.
2:56:29
SPEAKER_11: All right.
2:56:29
SPEAKER_11: I'm with AK.
2:56:30
SPEAKER_11: Let's go.
2:56:30
SPEAKER_11: Let's go.
2:56:31
SPEAKER_11: Warring said he discovered the formation while exploring the global ocean floor maps produced uh in a uh seabed 2030 project.
2:56:38
SPEAKER_11: He described the megalith structure and estimated that it could be between 10 and 15 miles beneath the seabed.
2:56:44
SPEAKER_11: We need to get James Cameron to go down there and uh and check it out.
2:56:47
SPEAKER_11: I want to encourage everybody, if you get a chance, listen to Dylan Borland on Hannity's Hangout Podcast.
2:56:52
SPEAKER_11: I was listening to it yesterday.
2:56:54
SPEAKER_11: Really, really interesting insight.
2:56:56
SPEAKER_11: As a matter of fact, let me just play you one quick uh one quick uh clip.
2:56:59
SPEAKER_45: I saw approximately a hundred-foot equilateral triangle.
2:57:02
SPEAKER_45: There were three white lights on the corner, a larger light in the center, about two to three times the size of the corner lights.
2:57:08
SPEAKER_45: The outside had this like gold lava lamp that flew over it, like flowed, and it had black metallic flake paint.
2:57:15
SPEAKER_45: Uh my cell phone, I was on the phone with a buddy of mine.
2:57:18
SPEAKER_45: Uh cell phone got incredibly hot, shut down, which is a signature of another uh collection technique.
2:57:24
SPEAKER_45: Uh look at it for about two to three minutes.
2:57:26
SPEAKER_45: Uh it flashes, centerlight flashes, and that thing takes off to at least commercial jet level in seconds.
2:57:32
SPEAKER_45: I can feel static electricity, I can smell a thunderstorm.
2:57:35
SPEAKER_45: Traditionally, that's related to ionization of the atmosphere, which would be my theory, and a lot of people I talk to is electromagnetics and charging the atmosphere around it to make the craft appeal.
2:57:47
SPEAKER_45: Um gets up to sea level, reset my phone, or gets up to commercial jet level, reset my phone, try and get a picture of it, and it just starts to go right out east over the Atlantic Ocean.
2:57:56
SPEAKER_11: Now, Amanda, Catherine, come on.
2:57:59
SPEAKER_11: Come on.
2:58:01
SPEAKER_11: Let's put it this way.
2:58:02
SPEAKER_11: If because we had a conversation off the air and they have no interest in UFOs whatsoever, but imagine just for a moment that that had that this happened to you.
2:58:08
SPEAKER_06: That there was a triangle and it had some lava-like, lava lamp-like thing.
2:58:13
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
2:58:14
SPEAKER_11: It turns your phone off and it got hot and then it just bust up.
2:58:16
SPEAKER_06: I'd go to sleep.
2:58:17
SPEAKER_06: I'd say it's been a long day.
2:58:19
SPEAKER_46: I would just say I I I'm always hoping for the best.
2:58:22
SPEAKER_46: So I'm hoping this is like a covert US military operation.
2:58:25
SPEAKER_46: And we're in control of these things.
2:58:27
SPEAKER_46: And I don't know, I don't have the like brain space to worry about this stuff.
2:58:32
SPEAKER_46: Like, I I feel kind of similar to how I feel about AI taking over and ruining the world.
2:58:37
SPEAKER_46: Like, I'm trying to care more about that because it seems more eminent.
2:58:39
SPEAKER_46: But with the UFOs, I'm like, what am I gonna do?
2:58:42
SPEAKER_06: No, that is such a female-male thing.
2:58:44
SPEAKER_06: I think that's hitting the nail on the head.
2:58:46
SPEAKER_06: Like, my I'm thinking about like what I'm making for dinner tonight.
2:58:49
SPEAKER_06: I do not have the brain space to think about this weird triangle you supposedly saw a guy.
2:58:55
SPEAKER_06: My phone got hot and I smelled a rain storm.
2:58:59
SPEAKER_06: Okay.
2:59:00
SPEAKER_41: You're right.
2:59:01
SPEAKER_41: It is a male-female thing because for men, it's like new, exciting exploration.
2:59:06
SPEAKER_41: Like I always say this to my wife, and she her eyes glaze over because she doesn't care.
2:59:11
SPEAKER_06: I think it's a good thing.
2:59:12
SPEAKER_06: This is why we need purposes.
2:59:13
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we need them.
2:59:14
SPEAKER_06: It's not my role.
2:59:16
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
2:59:16
SPEAKER_41: Yeah.
2:59:16
SPEAKER_06: Who want to explore, who want to do a crucifix?
2:59:20
SPEAKER_06: My husband.
2:59:20
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's my husband.
2:59:22
SPEAKER_41: You know what?
2:59:23
SPEAKER_41: It's so funny because I always joke around that me and my wife, you know, like I've said this to my siblings and stuff, that we want to be shot into the sun or uh, you know, something like that once we die.
2:59:35
SPEAKER_41: Uh, so like our our you know, our matter can whatever, just kind of mix better because it's out there.
2:59:41
SPEAKER_41: But ultimately, my wife is like, whatever.
2:59:44
SPEAKER_41: I'm like, we're gonna become space pioneers if we're still alive and there's an option to go to Mars.
2:59:49
SPEAKER_41: We are going to Mars.
2:59:50
SPEAKER_41: And she's like, whatever, I don't care.
2:59:52
SPEAKER_11: Max, Max, you have any thoughts?
2:59:54
SPEAKER_11: You've been awfully quiet over there.
2:59:55
SPEAKER_10: Any thoughts on the I was just processing the clip because this is uh this is floating up in the air.
3:00:00
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
3:00:01
SPEAKER_10: And then it flew away.
3:00:03
SPEAKER_10: Could be a data center.
3:00:06
SPEAKER_10: All right.
3:00:07
SPEAKER_10: Could be an Arby's standing up there.
3:00:09
SPEAKER_11: And with with that, let's go ahead and put a close to our Freedom Friday show.
3:00:13
