  SPEAKER_07: You know, and here I thought that we were done talking for the most part about the Lindsey Clancy mistrial.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_07: At least until the next trial uh were to or will uh take place.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_07: I thought, eh, you know what, we're done with it.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_07: We'll move on with life.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_07: There's other things to talk about and certainly ought to talk about on the show today.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_07: And then yesterday, some of the jurors that wanted to let this murderer of her three children off decided to go and talk to mainstream media.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_07: And it turns out that every single ridiculous meme and speculation regarding who these 11 jurors, mostly women, who wanted to set Lindsey Clancy free, all came true.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_07: Like everything that we assumed about the jury was accurate.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, this clip here alone is enough to spark a conversation for the next uh hour.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_65: So-and-so, this is the definition of reason and love.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_65: But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_07: The loan holdouts on the jury had the hardest time getting past that Lindsay viciously murdered her children.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_07: That's not a parody, that's not AI, that's actually one of the jurors.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_07: And I have a lot more to share this morning than my thoughts.

  SPEAKER_07: So we're gonna dive into uh more and that audio yesterday from these jurors coming up uh after the bottom uh of the uh of the hour.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_07: We have uh updates on it's been a long time since we've talked about this.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_07: Mainstream media is doing their due diligence to help out and carry the water for the DFL as always, but we have numbers relating to Governor Dim Walls and his free school meals program.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_07: Spoiler, it's not good.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_07: The media's trying to frame it as good.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, they fed so many.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_07: So many children got fed, guys.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_07: All the children got fed.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_07: Mm-hmm.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, wait until you get into the numbers of the estimates of how much it was supposed to cost to give a bunch of children free crappy meals.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_07: And they are.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_07: They are crappy meals.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_07: You either have processed packaged foods, or you have, you know, a lot of here's American, you know, American cheese, a slice of turkey on white bread.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_07: How much of it is getting thrown away?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_07: I don't want to get ahead of my commentary.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_07: We'll get into this coming up uh next hour on the show.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_07: Ahead of the one year on since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, the Burnsville chapter of Turning Point USA.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, well, I shouldn't say a chapter for Turning Point USA here in Minnesota is holding a vigil tomorrow night and an event in honor of Charlie Kirk in Burnsville.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_07: We're gonna be talking with Amanda Lamar with a Turning Point USA here in Minnesota just after 8 o'clock, and we'll give you all of the details on that event.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_07: And I want to look uh look to the future a little bit.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_07: We're gonna talk about the RNC as we kick off the show this morning.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_07: Renewed airstrikes against targets in Iran, some changes in our airports, which I'm honestly like kind of shocked that it hasn't happened already.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, relevant relating to uh the anniversary, 25 years since 9-11 on Friday.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_07: And I'm really looking forward to Freedom Friday this week.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_07: Um it might get a little heavy.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_07: Uh we'll we'll we always try to have fun on Freedom Friday.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_07: We have a full house uh in store.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_07: Uh Catherine and Grace will be here along with Max and uh AK.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_07: And it being the 25th anniversary of 9-11, obviously it's going to be weighing heavy on the on the show because there's a lot to be said in 25 years on, especially how so many you have an entire generation that simply is unaware of really what happened on that day and what a turning point it was for the United States.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_07: And how we typically go and focus on COVID as being the most recent major event that up-ended American life, global life, but you really need to go back to 9-11 and sort of attach what happened post-9-11 and then with COVID because they are all connected.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_07: So we'll get to that on Friday's show.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, Representative Tom Emmer will be joining us on Friday from the RNC uh ahead of this year's uh midterms.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_07: Tomorrow on the show, uh Scott Jensen, uh GOP uh candidate, will be joining us in studio.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_07: And we'll also talk with Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate uh Tom Tiffany.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_07: Uh his first appearance on uh the new iteration of the show here at uh Center of the American Experiment.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_07: And of course, head on over to AmericanExperiment.org for all of the latest writings from our policy fellows at AmericanExperiment uh.org.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh let's go ahead and go to the blaster line to kick things off.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_07: We are gonna get fully into the comments of some of the jurors, which are just it's wild, man.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_07: It is wild.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_07: There's so much to be said about what these women were thinking on that jury.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_07: And again, we'll dive into that fully coming up at 630.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_07: But let's go ahead and uh go to the blaster line at 651-964-0294.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_27: Good morning, John Rich here.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_27: So when it comes to these jurors, I understood that two of them wore pink shirts in solidarity with the defendant.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_27: I don't know how that's not biased.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_27: I mean, they could as well have just carried in their protest lines.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_27: But it surely shows the selfishness of these women that the mother can kill their daughter or their children.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_27: And it's very selfish, yeah.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_27: And then the other thing is is the entitlement.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_27: Just surprised me because it's a woman.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_27: Okay, this is a killer.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_07: I still contend, and I'll get into this later on in the hour.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_07: I still contend that everything, let me let me not overgeneralize, that a lot of what we're seeing and what these women were doing is a direct extension of the the abortion debate.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_07: The inevitable slippery slope in the mentality of too many women in this country relating to abortion.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_07: And we'll get into this later on.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, on top of that, one of the jurors, like if this hadn't been a mistrial, most legal experts, and really in this case, anybody just using common sense would realize that there's a bit of a bombshell in the audio from one of the jurors that this, if this hadn't been a mistrial, it would have been based off of how these jurors were treating their job as jurors.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_07: Essentially, a bunch of these women ended up becoming the equivalent of all of the experts that show up on X in the middle of a controversy, where suddenly you have an issue relating to airline safety.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_07: We'll talk about this.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_07: There's some further details about that Amazon flight that ended up killing uh five that overshot the runway.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_07: Everybody becomes aviation uh experts.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_07: Anytime there's some sort of shooting, everybody becomes an expert.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_07: That's what these women, that's the role that these women were playing on the jury.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_07: They were acting like they were a bunch of experts on issues that they were not experts on, including some jurors that apparently were nurses.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_07: And this is the point, I won't bury the lead here as we get into this later on in the uh in the hour.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_07: But a couple of the jurors were nurses and they were going off the toxicology reports, and the nurses were acting as if they were foremost experts in everything these toxicology reports were providing in terms of details of this case.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_07: You can't do that.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_07: You can't offer up your own independent personal analysis as you're debating what your verdict is going to be in a particular case.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_07: Because those nurses weren't vetted on whether or not they actually were experts in the number of pharmaceuticals that Lindsey Clancy was taking, and yet they were you they were saying, Well, we're nurses and we know all about this.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_07: And the other jurors were like, we had nurses telling us about these pharmaceuticals.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_07: No, no, you can't do that.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_07: That is a bombshell revelation that probably would have led to a mistrial if it hadn't already been a mistrial.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_07: In the meantime, the attorney for Lindsey Clancy, he's appealing to Donald Trump asking for a pardon.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_07: It's all just a clown show.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_07: And the tragedy in all of it is that it is all a clown show in the wake of the fact that three murdered children still have not received the justice that they deserve.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_31: Hey, John.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_31: Uh the school lunch program.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_31: Um 50 years ago, I was in St.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_31: Paul Public Schools.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_31: Uh mother divorced, so the family was stressed.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_31: There were free lunches for me.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_31: Uh there were free lunches for others that I knew that were going through the same thing.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_31: All you had to do was apply for.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_31: Yep.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_31: And they would look at your situation and give you free breakfast and lunches.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_31: The program's been there for people who need it all the time.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_31: This is just putting food in front of people who don't really need it.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_31: And a lot of times they just throw it away and keep the milk all the time.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, the kids have to go and order a meal if they want to get the chocolate milk.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_07: So they order the meal, they throw the meal the meal away, and they get the chocolate milk.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_07: All that the Again, I'm overgeneralizing.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_07: There's a direct correlation and comparison, and exactly the same motivation when it came to the free school meals program as there is for paid family medical leave.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_07: It's the same thing.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_07: The free school meals program was the trial balloon for the DFL on whether or not they could actually get paid family medical leave passed.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_07: It's the same mentality, completely unnecessary, a redistribution of wealth.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_07: That's what this free school meals program is, while providing an argument to push back on Republicans who would dare go and say that this is an unnecessary waste of taxpayer dollars.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_07: It's not meant to actually go and help and feed the children.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_07: If it were, you would be getting, or the children would be receiving quality meals.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_07: They're not, they're getting garbage food.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_07: You know, it's the food that Michelle Obama pushed back against when she was first lady when she was pushing forward on her healthy meals program that ended up becoming a debacle.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_07: No, it's it's it's it was all for votes.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_07: That's all that it was.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_07: Create arguments against against conservatives, drive people out to vote because people love to get free stuff.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_07: It's just, it's really, really, really that simple.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_07: All right.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294 here on the John Justice Show.
• 12:41

• 13:49
  SPEAKER_07: So if you're looking to lose weight, it's a fantastic opportunity to change up your life for the better, heading into the holidays.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_07: Drop the weight, see your friends and family being a brand new you, and then also continue to enjoy the food that you always enjoy over the holidays.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_07: However, your mentality will completely change and you won't have happen what typically happens, and that is you pack on a bunch of holiday weight, and then you got to go and lose it next year.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_07: No, I am looking forward to the holidays.

• 14:27
  SPEAKER_07: Again, 952-260-1965.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_07: 952-260-1965.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_50: Another example of why the jury system is broken in our country.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_50: People don't realize that you can't bring in your own expertise as a jury.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_50: You have to go by the facts that are presented.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_50: You can't bring in your own reasonable doubt.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_50: You can't develop your own reasonable doubt.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_50: That is up to the defense attorney to do.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_50: And when you bring in your own prejudices, then you're just causing the problem.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_50: And that's exactly what these jurors did.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_07: There is so much to uh to unpack with those clips.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, and again, we'll get to those coming up uh after the bottom of the hour.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_07: So, as we mentioned, uh Andrew Langer will be checking in.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_07: He's heading to the midterm uh RNC in Dallas this week.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_07: We'll talk to Representative Tom Emmer at 8 o'clock on Friday show from the RNC in Dallas for the first time in history.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_07: The RNC is opening its midterm convention to ordinary citizens.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_07: It's giving voters an unprecedented access to the party's top names, rising candidates, and agenda ahead of the 2026 election.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_07: So, you know, Donald Trump is President Trump is trying to defy history when it comes to how midterm elections typically fare for the party in power.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_07: And there's some speculation that he may not be around the White House very much heading into October because he's planning on doing a ton of rallies across the country, encouraging Republicans to get out and vote.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_07: Trump's going to headline both nights of the convention.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_07: The Daily Wire exclusively reported this, delivering marks on opening night before returning on Thursday for the closing act.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_07: RNC spokesperson Natalie Baldissari said the convention will showcase the GOP's record of delivering results, with, as I mentioned, both uh House and the Senate up for grabs, the control of both.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_07: Republicans face a competitive environment heading in to election day.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_07: Hoping to defy history, working off the Daily Wire piece.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_07: The convention will be open to the public, free tickets distributed through a lottery.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_07: Each night will feature candidates running in battlegrounds races nationwide, as well as everyday Americans who support the president and his party.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_07: The RNC wants to unify the party around a simple message according to the memo that the Daily Wire uh obtained.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_07: Opening night will spotlight working the working families' tax cuts, efforts to root out waste and fraud, the$50 billion rural health transfer transformation program, and the Save America Act.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_07: Speakers will also highlight no tax on tips.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_07: Gotta be careful with the Save America Act.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_07: We haven't passed that yet.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_07: Speakers will also highlight no tax on tips, the enhanced child to tax credit, border enforcement, religious freedom, national pride, Trump's America First Trade Policy and efforts to clean up deep blue cities.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_07: Looking at you, St.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_07: Paul and Minneapolis, and we have St.

  SPEAKER_07: The second night will feature Trump's expansion of school choice, hostages brought home during his administration, a proposed Capitol Hill trading ban, looking at you, Nancy Pelosi, and tightening of border security.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_07: The conservative movement will also honor Charlie Kirk on the first anniversary of his assassination with plans to convert that legacy into a call to mobilize voters, reflecting Kurt's focus on voter mobilization through Turning Point USA.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_07: And as I mentioned, uh there's an event taking place in Burnsville tomorrow night, a vigil uh and speaking event with Turning Point USA in a chapter here in Minnesota.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_07: And we'll be talking with the organizer of that event here on the show, coming up at uh eight o'clock uh this morning.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_07: So be sure to tune in, uh tune in for that.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294 is the blaster line for your voice or text and messages.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_07: Did you hear uh I didn't grab the audio because the guy just wasn't worthy of grabbing the audio, but I figured I'd mention it since I brought up Charlie Kirk.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_07: Hassan Piker, the communist that he is, he was going on his either Podcast or one of the lame stream media channels.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_07: He actually had the gall to compare himself to the left's being the left's Charlie Kirk.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_07: I just couldn't.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_07: The delusion is real, folks.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, maybe there's an argument considering how the left has been co-opted by a bunch of communists, in which case, an individual like Hassan Piker might fit that role, but there is no comparison to an individual like Charlie Kirk.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_07: And, you know, he was assassinated for that very for that very fact.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_07: All right, let's go here.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_07: Uh called this one yesterday.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_07: So Donald Trump and his Space Force uniforms that we covered, inspired by Starship Troopers, right?
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_07: Um, and I I dig them.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_07: They do have a very, you know, futuristic militaristic look to them.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_07: And there is some inspiration taken from Starship Troopers.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_07: I'm totally fine with that.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_07: Also, Imperial officers in Star Wars because it should have a unique look.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_07: And it should in my opinion, it should echo that which is familiar to the general public.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_07: It's Space Force, these are uniforms typically aligned with space in pop culture.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_07: And let's be honest, they're just uniforms.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_07: That being said, the media is having a lot of fun using the new Space Force uniforms to trash Trump, the Chicago uh Star Tribune, President Donald Trump's post Space Force uniforms derived from fascist-inspired Starship Troopers outfits.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_07: From military.com.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_07: Trump offers Space Force uniforms inspired by sci-fi film with Nazi undertones.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_07: The design is inspired by the 1997 movie Starship Troopers that dealt with fascist politics, according to the film's creator.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_07: What's really funny about this is that the movie was a deviation from the novels themselves.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_07: I haven't read the novels.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_07: I have done an overview, sort of uh a Cliff Notes version of the novel.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_07: I went through the differences between the novel and the film.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_07: And while there is a level of truth in what's being said in this commentary, there obviously is a blatant attempt to associate, once again, Nazi undertones and fascism with the Trump administration.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_07: That's what they're attempting to do here.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_07: I think most intelligent individuals are aware of what is the narrative that they're trying to put forward.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_07: But the movie version really deviated, like the movie version of which the uniforms are being compared to, it really did deviate quite a bit from the more political undertones, using that term again, from the actual novels.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_07: The LA Times, Trump Space Force uniforms evoke movies fascists.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_07: New York Times, Trump's latest makeover target, uh, Space Force uh uniforms.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_07: And they also write Vanessa Friedman has been chronicle uh chronicling the relationship of clothing, identity, power, and politics.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_07: After the bulldozer in chief and redecorator in chief, the designer in chief, so it seems, Judge.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_07: By the truth social post from Trump over the weekend, in which he appeared to extend his desire to make over whatever catches his eye to military uniforms.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_07: It would be easy to dismiss this post as one of the late-night boondoggles among many, but it's also telling.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_07: According to the post, the style was inspired by the dignity and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_07: Given the Starship Troopers, a 97 Vernhoven movie, inspired by the Robert Heinlein 59 book, starts with the phrase after the failure of democracy and was meant to be a send-up of totalitarianism.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_07: This was a provocative model to choose.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_07: Think sci-fi Hitler by way of Hollywood, and you will get the idea.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_07: I have to listen, I have to, I have to believe that the administration was fully aware of what the response would be and they did it on purpose.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_07: Because ultimately it doesn't matter.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_07: I have this conversation with Melinda all the time.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_07: And I get why she gets frustrated by this stuff, because she typically will take a stance of, why do they why do they sort of intentionally step in it?
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_07: Why do they go seemingly out of their way to upset the apple cart, if you will?
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_07: And that my the the comment that I always say to her, and she knows I'm going to say it every time she brings something like that up, is that it doesn't matter.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_07: It doesn't matter what this administration does.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_07: Whether they do something that is a little bit more pointed in its commentary that invites controversy, or they don't bother at all.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_07: If they had done, let's say that they had designed these Space Force uniforms to look like the uniforms of the military outfit that was in um Valerian and the city of what, 10,000 worlds or whatever it is.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_07: I own the Blu-ray, I should know the name.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_07: But, you know, they're more, they're more just military green, sort of formal style uniforms.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_07: They would get the administration would have gotten trashed for, you know, putting up uniforms that were ugly.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_07: It doesn't matter what they do.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_48: Hey John, uh Hans here.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_48: You know, I'm in uniforms, the Space Force uniforms.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_48: I actually get a hint of uh Spaceballs officers uniforms.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, there's a little bit to that too.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_07: It's actually a more clever criticism.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_07: Like if you're the left, like the space balls reference, it would have been a little bit deeper.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_07: But it probably would have been more effective to compare the administration to space balls more than fascists and Nazis.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_07: That's just all played out.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_07: I just I in my view, when it comes to those criticisms, it's just an eye roll whenever they happen.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, Nazis again, oh, fascists again.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_07: Apart from you know, the broken in the brainwash leftist voters who genuinely believe this stuff.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_07: And therein lies the the danger.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, thank you for the uh for the blast there, Hans.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_07: I appreciate it.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294, as we continue to run through some of the uh headlines this morning.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_07: Yesterday afternoon, our military was hard at work in Iran once again, destroying five Iranian oil tankers in response to attacks on its warships, escalating the tensions with Iran.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_07: Iran retaliated by launching missiles towards U.S.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_07: targets in Jordan.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_07: The conflict centered around the Strait of Ormuz, it's impacting global oil prices, raising concerns about potential escalation.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_07: So I have some comments from Marco Rubio that I'll play for you here in just a moment, and I'll provide some uh commentary into what I believe is actually uh happening uh with the renewed military action along with the economic D-Day, right, that they've been touting, pushing back economically, putting pressure on uh on Iran.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_07: Um, side note on this, just because I thought it was an interesting conversation, Logan and I, my 24-year-old, were watching uh Hunt for a Red October over the course of the past two days.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_07: Love that movie.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_07: One of my favorite movies of all time.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_07: And I had a rough I had a realization while watching the film.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_07: We've never been able, you've seen submarines in film and in documentaries and news reports, like on the surface of the water.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_07: You see when they do the when they do the emergency blow and the and it the submarines jump out of the water.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_07: It's always really cool, and they come slamming back down again.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_07: You've seen all that.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_07: We've never seen submarines like in action underneath the water surface.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_07: Like Logan and I, we stopped the movie and we were just kind of in awe of these massive, massive machines.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_07: These weapons of war that engage in these military uh conflicts.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_07: But we've we've never seen that action.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_07: Probably never will.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_07: You can see fighter jets dogfighting, you can see ships on the water going, you know, battling.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_07: But we don't have we don't have like a James Cameron underneath the surface of the water being able to actually see.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_07: I don't even know if you'll be able to capture it.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_07: They're usually so far away from each other when they're engaged in military combat.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_07: Uh to which I told Logan, I said, you know, the one director who could probably do it because he's obsessed with the ocean would be James Cameron.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_07: But it just that's a that's incredible to me.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_07: Because I just find I just I find submarines are just fascinating to me.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_07: I and mostly it mostly started with the Hunt for Red October when I was growing up.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_07: You know, the 1990s film.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_07: I read the book beforehand.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_07: It was the first time I read a book and was able to go see a movie and walked out going, oh, the movie wasn't like the book.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_07: Here's how it was different.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_07: I had submarine books that I read from cover to cover, all the pictures in the different I knew I was like a quasi-expert, more so than the jurors on the Lindsey Clancy case regarding pharmaceuticals that she was taking.
• 27:54
  unknown: But yeah.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_07: That would be cool to see.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_07: Logan made a good point, though.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_07: The submarines probably have to be very close to the surface.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_07: Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see anything.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_07: You know?
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_07: There's a meme going around where it's just it's just an image of the ocean, and the comment on it is just like that's one hell of a submarine battle going on.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_07: All right, back to more serious uh items of note.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_07: The latest strikes, as we were mentioning, part of that dual economic military approach by Trump, struggling to bring an end to the war, and I believe that's where this is all heading right now.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_07: The Trump administration said yesterday uh they also imposed sanctions on additional elements of Iran's aviation industry, targeting more than two dozen commercial and private airlines, as well as foreg foreign cargo service uh providers uh in a new push to isolate Tehran from its remaining trading partners.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_07: will not allow Iran's attacks to go unanswered.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_07: Here's a little bit more of what uh Marco Rubio had to say to press yesterday.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_57: Can you speak about the U.S.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_57: strikes on the Iranian tankers and explain uh what the back and forth has been in the last 24 hours?
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_62: Yeah, the back and forth is pretty straightforward, and that is that Iran continues to try to hit U.S.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_62: naval ships, and uh for every time they do that or try to do that, they're gonna lose tankers.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_62: And I think you'll see that again today.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_07: So, with that, um, there are some speculation that the recent efforts, specifically the U.S.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_07: military destroying vessels uh near the Kerrang Island in the Strait of Ormuz, which is a central location, into uh leading to Iran's war efforts, especially regarding their oil strategies and where they launch a lot of their military uh armament from.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, the fact that there are, and Trump had been posting memes about the island for a while now.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_07: There's some speculation pointing to that this might be an attempt at an endgame of the Iran conflict and could be timed with the midterm RNC convention taking place this week as well.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_07: There was some speculative reporting over the weekend that the administration was asking for um the Secretary of War, Pete Heggseth, and others within the administration to stop referring to it as uh Operation Epic Fury, and even some reports that were going around that Trump was ready to declare an end to the to the war, but those kind of all fell by the by the wayside, which is why I'm only bringing them up uh now.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_07: I do believe that this is an attempt, though, of the administration to try to bring things under control as best they can uh heading into the midpoint of the month and certainly as we get closer to the uh midterms.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294 is the blaster line.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_07: We got a text message that came in.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_07: Das Boot is a good summary movie.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_07: WW2, though, a World War II, though.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_07: Oh no, absolutely.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_07: Um uh was it UH 571, the Matthew McConaughey, Crimson Tide, go way back.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_07: A Gray Lady Down, Hunt for Red October, uh, Hunter Killer is also a more uh more recent uh good one.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_07: I was not the biggest fan of K-19 The Widowmaker with Harrison Ford.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_07: Although I might need to revisit that film again because I think I only saw it once uh in the uh in the theater.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_07: All right, uh let's go back to the uh blaster line uh this morning.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, the foes are up and early this morning.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_23: Why does the Trump administration think they have an off-ramp?
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_23: They're gonna try to declare victory over the Iran War.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_07: Let me stop, let me stop here uh really quick.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_07: So, first off, uh that was reporting that was never substantiated.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_07: I was just sharing it with you.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, second, I think we can go and call uh Eric from Brainerd uh Mildred uh from moving forward.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_07: So good morning, Mildred.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_07: Nice to uh nice to hear from you.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_07: Uh we'll leave the last name anonymous on here.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_07: I'll be I'll be nice, but uh we'll say good morning to uh to Mildred on the blaster line.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_07: Let's see what uh else Mildred has to say.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_23: They're gonna give it a bigger trade war with China and trading partners with Iran.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_23: Uh that's not good.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_23: And no, the Operation D-Day economic whatever is going to do absolutely jacked.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_23: They're not going to rise up and overthrow the government.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_23: Um, I know that that was the goal from the beginning, but notice how that excuse immediately switched to the nukes, which switched to other things.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_23: But no, Iran is still winning, and there's no off-ramp, even if Trump says that they won the war.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_05: How can anybody possibly say that Iran is win is is winning?
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_05: Mildred, where are you getting that from?
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_23: Although that's a hundred percent a lie, but the big question is how long are you gonna repeat that lie MAGA and look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you won the Iran war, even though you ignored all the advice of every advisor of past administrations, including ones that go back to the first bush.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_23: Yeah.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_23: You guys didn't know that the straight would be this hard uh have a great day, everyone.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, Mildred, you have a great day too.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, thank you so much for the uh blast uh this morning.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_07: Always uh always entertaining to hear your ignorance in the AM.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_56: Come on, John.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_56: When you're talking about submarine movies, you gotta mention Operation Petticoat.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_07: Man, I've never I've not even I'm not familiar at all with Operation Petticoat.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_07: That's the first time I've That's the first time I've heard of Operation Petticoat.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_07: My apologies.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_07: What was the there was a comedy submarine movie with Kelsey Grammar that I need to revisit.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_07: Can you google, can you, can you Google that for me, uh, producer Devin?
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_07: It's a single word and you're gonna find it, and then I'm gonna go, ah yeah, that's what it, that's what it is.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_07: I remember it being really funny, but I think I only watched it once.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_07: But again, I'm unfamiliar with Operation, with Operation Petticoat.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_07: Um, let's go here.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_07: NTSB data uh suggests that the Amazon Prime cargo plane pilots considered aborting the Miami landing before the crash.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_07: The Boeing 767 ran or overran the runway, tragically killing five people and injuring five others.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_07: Uh before I get to details on this, did you find the movie?
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_07: Is it down periscope?
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_07: It is down periscope.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_07: Could not.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_07: I think I think that if I thought about it long enough, I probably would have landed on it.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_33: Ah, John.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_33: I like that.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_33: Mildred.
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_33: I think we should at least consider under your purview our new nickname for Eric from Brainerd would be Millie Vanilli.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_33: I think there's a correlation there.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_07: I think you're I think you're right.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_07: I think you're right.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_07: So yeah.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_07: Mildred was leaving a lot of uh posts uh yesterday.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_07: So I just was I was sparing you, the audience, the pain of the commentary coming from Eric slash Mildred.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_07: Uh somebody else had actually left a left a uh a text saying yes, Kelsey Grammar down Periscope.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_07: Need to check that out uh again.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_07: All right.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_07: Uh one more submarine one, and then we got to dive into.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_07: I want to give you some details on this Miami crash, some quick changes that have been made.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_07: Uh quickly, I'll talk about the changes being made uh at uh airports across the country, and then we'll get into just the lunacy of these Lindsey Clancy adjures.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_07: But first, let's go here to a friend of the show.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_21: Good morning, Bob from Lake Elmo.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_21: Oh, submarine movies.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_21: You're uh you're hitting it this morning.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_21: I was at Submarine Officer Basic Course when Hunt for Red October came over.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_21: We had a special viewing on the release for our uh submarine officer class.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_21: Hands down, the best movie has to do with me being time and place more than anything.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_21: A lot of great movies out there, but Hunt for Red October, top of the list.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, movie.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_07: Just there is there is no no burn on Hunt for Red October.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_07: I just, it is yeah, darn near a perfect film, in my opinion.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_07: Pretty close.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_07: Uh somebody said uh texted in Voice to the Bottom of the Sea was a great submarine uh TV show in the 60s.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_07: No, I remember I enjoyed that quite a bit as uh as a kid.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, Voice to the Bottom of the Sea was a good one too.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_07: I wonder if that's streaming on anywhere.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_07: It's probably like on Tubi.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_07: Or uh or uh Pluto.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_07: Great, those are great apps, by the way, for free movies and stuff like that.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_07: So hard to navigate.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_07: Both of those apps are just you think it was hard.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_07: You think it was hard to get everything you know coordinated here to make it easier for everybody to listen.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_07: Try to go and navigate Tubi and Pluto.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_07: All things being relative, by by the by the way.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_07: Just wanted to point that out.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_42: John, did I hear Mildred correctly?
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_42: Did she say that she didn't realize the straight would be so hard?
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_42: That's what she said.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_42: Have a good day, John.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_09: Is it Friday?
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: Is that is that is that what we have what's called a Trump derangement problem.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_00: Have you heard about that problem?
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, so uh for those that are wondering, yeah, that's uh that's Mildred's Eric from Brainerd.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_07: That's it's actually Mildred.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_07: Just wanted to point that out.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_07: For those that are wondering.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_07: Figured that one out yesterday.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_07: The pilots of the Amazon uh Prime cargo plane considered aborting the landing before it crashed in Miami.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_07: The NTSB said that 30 seconds before the end of the flight data recording, the nose landing gear and the right main landing gear touched down, while 19 seconds before the end of the recording, the left main landing gear touched down.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_07: A few seconds later, the brakes were released and the throttles were increased to values consistent with a go-round thrust.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_07: I want to hear the audio from inside of the cabin.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_07: I am no aviation expert.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_07: I leave that to my son Logan.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_07: I know that he will be able to decipher this.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_07: But my takeaway from the little that I know is that it sounds like there was some discussion going on.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_07: They were clearly coming in too fast.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_07: You can see it on the footage that uh that some individuals were shooting that day.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_07: You can see that it was already well over the runway before it touched down.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_07: And it seems as if there was some conflict about whether or not they were going to go in and uh and do a go-around.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_07: The NTSB added there was no indication on the recorded data that the speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed either.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_07: A bad, bad call.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_07: So I'm curious to uh see what uh more details we end up getting from this.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_07: And again, just an absolute uh unnecessary tragedy.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire, by the way.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_07: Uh if you're curious, uh at Daily Wire, uh Matt Walsh did a deep dive into Amazon's pilot hiring practices.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_07: And it would appear, according to Matt's um, you know, investigation for whatever you want to call it, his digging, it would appear that there were shortcuts within the pilot training program for Amazon Prime Air, including the possibility that DEI, as some people speculated, may have uh come into come into play.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_07: It's crazy how so much of the speculation around a number of different issues that we've been talking about and have been this, you know, the the headline news lately, a lot of the speculation's been been somewhat accurate.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_07: It would appear that might be the case, and a lot of people were saying that.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_07: And I'm always hesitant to go down that road until I see some level of evidence.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_07: But others were making comments that and I understand why.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_07: In you know, recent memory, we had circumstances with the number of airlines wherein there were a handful of just what seemed to be avoidable um potential disasters within the airline industry.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_07: And there was a lot of talk that this had a lot to do with the lowering of standards when it comes to hiring practices relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_07: And people were immediately speculating and wondering whether or not that was the case with Amazon Prime Air.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_07: And based off of Matt Walsh's digging, that may indeed be the uh be the case.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_07: Speaking of airlines, and as I said before, I'm honestly surprised it took so long for this to happen.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_07: But a new pilot program with NTSA is bringing back the ability to walk your loved ones through the terminals without a ticket.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_07: Even go and meet and greet your loved ones.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_07: Now, this is of course incredibly timely with the 25th anniversary of 9-11 on Friday, and how that day changed this forever.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_07: Instantly dating movies.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_07: Whenever you see a film now wherein individuals are waiting for their loved ones arriving at the airport, immediately dates the film.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_07: The one that comes to mind for me is Love Actually.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_07: It's a yearly watch around the holidays for Melinda and I.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_07: And that movie opens and ends with loved ones being greeted at the airport over the uh over the holidays.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, before 9-11, anyone could just walk through airport security and greet or say goodbye to friends and family right at the gate.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_07: Stricter policies over the last 25 years meant giving your hugs and watching loved ones leave from the TSA checkpoint are at the curb.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_07: And I don't want to go too deep on this.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_07: But there's by extension, this is a really, really good example of the loss of innocence and the impact that it had on the nation, and why I believe when we look at our current controversies that drive so much of the conversation right now on September 9th, 2026, we typically go back to COVID, but we need to go all the way back to 9-11 and combine 9-11 and COVID and then move forward on our commentary regarding modern day politics, pop culture, and life in general.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_07: Because there is a psychological impact and something that we lost in stripping away the ability to be able to meet and greet somebody at the airport.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_07: It was always, you know, for as much as you hate to fly, or let me back up.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_07: For as much as I hate to fly, I remember it was always so enjoyable to meet family members, you know, members of the household returning from a flight, park the car, go into the airport, wait for them to arrive, coming off the plane and expecting to see your loved ones.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, there's a disconnect that that's taken place, and I, you know, I don't have any data to point to to say this is the unintended consequence of that activity no longer being available to airline travelers.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_07: But I have to believe that there is.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_07: I have to believe there's a dynamic and a negative consequence to that.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_07: And to me, immediately I just think about the distance that we now voluntarily place upon ourselves through the black mirrors in our hands and our pockets on our smartphones, where you know we we act like we're connected more than we ever are, and we are through.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_07: Those phones, but we're not connected face to face.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_07: And the beginning of that was what took place in the wake of 9-11 and the inability for an average person not having an airline ticket to be able to move through the airport and meet or greet or be greeted by loved ones.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_07: That's changing at least at 13 specific airports located around the country.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_07: In multiple states, TSA has once again started allowing non-ticketed visitors into the terminals.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_07: And I absolutely welcome that.
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_07: I'm just kind of shocked that it took this this long.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_07: The administration notes that visitors will be held to the same airport code of conduct rules as ticketed passengers.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_07: The agency says visitors must follow federal and local regulations that are indicated in a posted signage.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_07: Visitors who do not follow the rules have their gate their gate side pass, and they're calling it a gate side pass, revoked and could be removed from the airport or face criminal uh penalties.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_07: So I actually have some audio to share regarding this.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_07: And to go into my notes.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_07: So uh Mark Wayne Mullen uh with Department of Homeland Security talking with uh Fox News uh regarding uh these uh changes.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_07: Only so far again at 13 airports, and tragically, unfortunately, MSP is not one of them currently.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_63: What we're really trying to do is look at um the f most forward-facing government uh agency in the in the country, and that's TSA.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_63: TSA obviously was created to keep our sky safe and our passengers safe as we're traveling.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_63: We have 2.4 million passengers every single day that go through TSA.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_63: And we have loved ones.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_63: I mean, I have kids that that when they were younger they would fly, and my wife and I would have to get special permission to be able to walk them to the gate and let them go.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_63: Well, it's not just kids, it's it's also adults, it's our wives, it's it's our parents, elderly parents, or our grandparents that we want to pick up at the gate.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_63: And so we're trying to look at how can we do this better uh and still keep everybody safe.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_63: Well, so we started going through the same thing as known passengers or global entry.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_63: If we can do it with that, we can also do it with passengers that may need special assistance or just a little extra attention.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_63: What about veterans that are coming back that their loved ones want to meet them at the gate?
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_63: So we came up with a program that doesn't uh compromise uh security at all.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_63: It's just part of the known passenger process, and uh we hope that it will help the passenger experience because TSA sometimes kind of gets a bad name, and well, we're going to prove that.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_07: It's been 25 years, and that's not to say the threat of terrorism is gone, but it is to say that in a world of security and the amount of security we've placed in airports, it just makes all the sense to me that we sh would have the ability to allow individuals to be met at the gate by their by their loved ones.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_07: So again, I'm just and I'm kinda it's like it hasn't been brought up either.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_07: That's kind of sad, and that's the other part of this too.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_07: Not that I want to wipe out too hard.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_07: I want to get into the lunacy of these jurors on the Lindsey Clancy uh case because the audio is just absolutely stunning if you haven't if you haven't heard it yet.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_07: But it's kind of a sad commentary that there hasn't been a push to let this happen.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_07: Like we just sort of accepted that this is the this is the case, and that's really unfortunate.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_07: So it's good to see that the TSA is moving in the right direction in allowing individuals who don't have an airline ticket to actually go into the airport.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_27: Hey John, some of us are old enough to remember uh when the bar is closed, you could always go to the airport.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_27: That's right.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_07: If you need to still get your uh get your drink on and relax, head on over to the bar airport.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_07: I wonder if you can do that.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_07: Or if you have to be meeting a loved one.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_07: You know, one of the other ways you can relax are with the fun gummies from Minnie Leaf.

  SPEAKER_07: I had a uh few texts that uh rolled in regarding the previous uh discussion when it comes to submarines.
• 50:41
  SPEAKER_07: I know I said I was gonna move on, and we will, but I want to share some comments with you.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_07: I also have some uh audio blasts that have rolled into 651-964-0294.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_07: Uh I got this fun shout-out.
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_07: My daughter was a submariner dolphin for five years.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_07: The reason we don't see or hear a lot about them is because it's called a silent uh service.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_07: I've really enjoyed the conversations that we had with um uh Senate uh candidate uh Tom Weiler, who was a submariner as well.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_07: Really enjoy some uh past conversations that he and I have had on the show talking about his military uh background.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_07: Sequest DS uh DSV, great submarine TV show.
• 51:21
  SPEAKER_07: Spielberg spent millions per episode.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_07: Never watched that show.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_07: Somebody else wrote in the only thing about Red October that gets me down sometimes is that it's got Alec Baldwin.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_07: He looks so much different that that helps.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_07: My brother and I use the opening line frequently uh in the uh in the winter, a cold morning today.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_07: It's cold and hard, but in English and not Scottish and Russian.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_07: Logan and I watching the movie made a similar comment about Alec Baldwin, but you're right, he looks so different, and he's fantastic in the film.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_07: And I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
• 51:54
  SPEAKER_07: When it comes to the politics of uh actors and actresses in Hollywood, unless they are overtly outspoken, and I know Alec Baldwin gets to that point, I tend to be able to quite easily just look their background away because most of them do not align with my political ideologies.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_07: Uh all right, let's get to a few of your uh audio blasts that have uh rolled in.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_07: Again, 651-964-0294.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_07: These are about the uh TSA moving to potentially allow you to enter into the airport even without um a ticket to a you know to a destination, uh, like you could before 9-11.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_50: Hey John, just remember that these people are still gonna go through security that are gonna go away at the gate for their loved ones or or see them off.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_50: So prepare for very, very, very, very long lines at the airport to get there plenty early.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_50: Because they're still gonna have to go through the security as well.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, you know, I I bet.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_07: I bet they do a separate security line.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_07: That's my guess.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_07: That they don't put them in with regular security.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_07: I'm trying to think of how you would check that though.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_07: Like if you don't have a ticket but you got a show ID to get in, it'll be interesting.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_07: I bet they'll figure it out.
• 53:15
  SPEAKER_07: But uh but I also haven't heard the I haven't heard like the opposite.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_07: I've never heard and it may maybe just because we never had the discussion, but I've never heard the wow, now that people well I guess before you didn't really have to go to the through security when you were visiting loved ones, so.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 53:30
  SPEAKER_07: Uh all right, let's go here to the black.
• 53:41
  SPEAKER_43: And since nine eleven, since you know, all the X-raying and groping and everything, treated like a criminal just to fly.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_43: You can't go up to the gate.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_43: The only time I fly is I'm going international, otherwise it's domestic.
• 53:54
  SPEAKER_43: I'm driving.
• 53:56
  SPEAKER_43: I'm I'm just done with that on top of all the other crap airline, put your through.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_43: 9-11 changed a lot.
• 54:03
  SPEAKER_07: Depends on how far you're driving.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, for example, when uh Kyle and I did road trip uh 2026, we were talking about it the other day, and I remember we were on the road, I think we were heading back in the middle of nowhere, just up and on the road for hours.
• 54:21
  SPEAKER_07: And I remember telling him, I said, just keep in mind that once we get home, we will forget about all of the time we just spent driving, and we'll be left with the with the memories that we created, right?
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_07: And while that's true, yeah, I haven't forgot about how long the driving was, just to the uh to the blaster comments and the friend of the show's point of driving domestically.
• 54:44
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I kind of had that mentality.
• 54:46
  SPEAKER_07: Next time we go out west, I'm hopping on a hopping on an airplane.
• 54:50
  SPEAKER_08: Hey John, I honestly hate the idea.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_08: Really?
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, I get it.
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_08: I get the you know, to have someone there, I get all of that.
• 54:58
  SPEAKER_08: But look what we deal with even like at high school graduations now, where they bring mobs of people and they're loud and obnoxious with all of their balloons and their flowers.
• 55:09
  SPEAKER_08: Yep, that's just more work for those for the FA agents to deal with.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_08: You know what's gonna happen.
• 55:17
  SPEAKER_08: I just honestly, unfortunately, I think it's gonna be just a failure.
• 55:21
  SPEAKER_08: Thanks for what you do.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_08: Have a great day.
• 55:23
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, thank you for the comment.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_07: I disagree.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_07: I think that um comparison-wise, there's a there's a big difference between what you described when it comes to graduations and similar enthusiasm taking place for individuals arriving uh at an airport to greet their loved ones.
• 55:42
  SPEAKER_07: There's a possibility that could happen, but I just think that circumstance-wise, I'm less um I'm less worried about.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_07: I'm less worried about that.
• 55:50
  SPEAKER_07: I think this is a good thing.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_07: Any way that we can get the public engaging with one another is a positive thing at this point in time.
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_07: We have lost too many of our personal spaces.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_07: And with that, we've lost a bit of our humanity.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_07: This plays directly into what we're about to talk about when it comes to the the Lindsey Clancy case.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_07: Again, a story that I thought that we would be done with, but with these jurors speaking out and just putting it out for everybody to see how so much of the commentary and speculation over who these women were ended up becoming true.
• 56:30
  SPEAKER_07: There is a correlation between this disconnect that we have from reality.
• 56:38
  SPEAKER_07: You know, reality is not on your, is not on your phone.
• 56:41
  SPEAKER_07: It's not on the screens in front of you.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_07: No, reality is getting out and interacting with individuals, engaging with with individuals, getting one-on-one with people, going out of your way to go and do that.
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_07: Everything's been disconnected as we've connected electronically.
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_07: And because of that, we've lost a lot of our humanity in the process, which I believe is makes it much easier for individuals to go into trials like this and to let people off for murder, not just of one person, not of two people, but three people, and not adults' children, and not just children, but your children, her children.
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_07: So we'll get into this here in just a moment.
• 57:26
  SPEAKER_07: I got a couple of uh texts that have continued to roll into the blaster line.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_07: TSA has pre-check a clear, and I'm sure they will come up with a different line to be in.
• 57:34
  SPEAKER_07: Might cost a fee, maybe.
• 57:35
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I could see that happening.
• 57:37
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, airports may issue a non-flyer pass to go through uh security.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, this feels like with what's being announced by uh DHS that this is uh certainly uh an extension beyond uh just the way that they can now, making it more acceptable um or accessible, I should say, uh, to the public.
• 57:58
  SPEAKER_07: But thank you all uh so much for the uh for the comments uh this morning to the uh to the blaster line.
• 58:04
  SPEAKER_07: Get to a few more thoughts that rolled in.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_26: For the lady with the comments about uh it uh not working out, uh they got rid of spirit airline, so I think I think we're I think we're good now.
• 58:18
  SPEAKER_06: I see what he uh I see what he I see what he did there.
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_24: You know, if you think back before 9-11, nobody really panicked when they were hijacked because generally the plane was flown somewhere, it landed, and most of the time you got no negotiated off the plane because they had some demand.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_24: And I think 9-11 changed all that because after 9-11, I don't think you get to hijack the plane anymore.
• 58:45
  SPEAKER_24: Those passengers will fight because they're gonna assume that they're dead if they don't.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_24: So even if you had a a flight full of 95-year-old women, you know, 95-year-old ladies with their walkers, they would still be fighting for their lives now.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_24: And that's not how it always was.
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_07: Well, just make sure you're not flying with the 11 uh jurors that wanted to uh let Lindsey Clancy uh off, because if your plane gets hijacked with those individuals on board, yeah, you're pretty screwed.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_07: I encourage you to head on over to AmericaneExperiment.org and check out all of the latest articles written by the fantastic policy fellows here at Center of the American Experiment, including one that we'll be diving into later on in the show.
• 59:51
  SPEAKER_07: Senator Amy Klobishar criticized for supporting a$1 million earmark for Generation Hope, a Somali nonprofit, despite concerns of its viability and potential fraud.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_07: The earmark initially proposed by Representative Ilhan Omar was never funded due to GOP opposition and concerns about the nonprofit's financials and connections to a relative involved in a terrorism plot.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_07: Critics question Klobichar's judgment in supporting the earmark and her office's uh vetting process.
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_07: It's a piece written by Bill Glaun that, again, we will uh dive into later on in the in the show.
• 1:00:33
  SPEAKER_07: Remember, you can listen to the show on the MixLR app, or you can also get caught up on the podcast as well.
• 1:00:38
  SPEAKER_07: You can watch the show on my X feed and at Center of the American Experiments Facebook and YouTube feeds.
• 1:00:44
  SPEAKER_07: You can watch the replays there as well and on Rumble.
• 1:00:47
  SPEAKER_07: Email the show, John.justice at AmericanExperiment.org, or leave us a voice or text blast to the blaster line at 651-964-0294.
• 1:01:00
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, we're also uh going to be talking about the free school meals program that Governor Jim Walls is now patting himself on the back for when he really shouldn't be.
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_07: I'll explain why coming up uh later on in the uh in the show.
• 1:01:14
  SPEAKER_07: So the Lindsey Clancy jurors reveal what really went down with the lone holdout.
• 1:01:23
  SPEAKER_07: Not all heroes wear capes.
• 1:01:26
  SPEAKER_07: I pray for the safety of this dude.
• 1:01:29
  SPEAKER_07: I really do.
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_07: Uh his identity has not been revealed.
• 1:01:33
  SPEAKER_07: I pray that it doesn't get revealed because this guy's life is going to be up-ended if the radical lunatics that believe that Lindsey Clancy should uh not be sitting in jail right now, these women here talking about what a good mother she was, it's just insanity.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_07: So I pray for the safety of that dude because thank you know, thankfully for him, this is going to go to another trial, and hopefully uh the victims in this, her children, her husband Patrick's children, will finally get the justice that they deserve.
• 1:02:05
  SPEAKER_07: I thought that I would be done talking about it at this point in time, but then the audio came out yesterday interviews with some of the jurors, and it's just absolutely stunning.
• 1:02:15
  SPEAKER_07: It's incredible to hear the justification that these women gave for why they ended up ruling uh the way that they that they did.
• 1:02:27
  SPEAKER_07: So let's go through some of the audio uh here.
• 1:02:29
  SPEAKER_07: Uh first off, we'll start with uh this clip.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_07: It's a lengthier clip.
• 1:02:34
  SPEAKER_07: But uh for the Lindsay folks who say that she didn't do it, and there are still those out there, even some friends of the show.
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_07: Um here is the opinion of the jurors in the case.
• 1:02:46
  SPEAKER_07: They weren't arguing this at all.
• 1:02:48
  SPEAKER_07: They just believed that she was a good mother.
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_07: They were enthralled by Reddington, Lindsay Clancy's attorney, and it seemed as if from the onset they wanted to let her off the hook.
• 1:02:59
  SPEAKER_07: And now here's commentary.
• 1:03:01
  SPEAKER_07: My apologies.
• 1:03:03
  SPEAKER_07: That's the wrong clip for.
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_07: This is the one that I wanted to share with you.
• 1:03:15
  SPEAKER_03: And with everybody saying she loved her children so much, and everything proved she loved her children, from her journals to her mother-in-law, uh uh everything proved that she loved her children.
• 1:03:28
  SPEAKER_03: So she had to have snapped and not known what she was doing.
• 1:03:32
  SPEAKER_03: To me, that it was proof that she she didn't know what she was doing.
• 1:03:38
  SPEAKER_07: Apply that logic, and I will later, to uh any other criminal trial, any other individual that commits a crime against another human being, it is beyond lunacy.
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_07: Where in, first off, she says, we weren't trying to figure out if she murdered the children, she did, and she's admitting that.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_07: So that's for those in the back who still claim that Lindsay Clancy didn't do it.
• 1:04:09
  SPEAKER_07: But this idea that everything that she everything proves that she loves her children, yet right up until she murdered them, I give me it's it's incredible to hear.
• 1:04:22
  SPEAKER_07: The jurors, including the four per uh the four person, spoke with NBC Boston for more than an hour about their experience deliberating over whether Clancy was criminally responsible for the 2023 killings of her three children.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_07: In the interview, the jurors confirmed that the one holdout refused to join the rest of the panel in finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity.
• 1:04:43
  SPEAKER_07: These jurors were the real-world equivalent of all the morons who suddenly pretend like they're experts on social media debating whatever the latest uh controversy is.
• 1:04:56
  SPEAKER_07: Individuals, when they saw the Amazon uh air crash go down and suddenly they became aviation experts overnight.
• 1:05:03
  SPEAKER_07: Anytime there's any sort of firearm-related shooting and they become experts overnight.
• 1:05:08
  SPEAKER_07: That's what these jurors were acting like.
• 1:05:12
  SPEAKER_07: And it's very revealing and relevant, in my opinion, when it comes to modern day politics of the mentality that we're up against constantly during election cycles.
• 1:05:24
  SPEAKER_07: The mentality of individuals that would go out of their way to justify this woman murdering her three children, it speaks volumes to how susceptible, gullible, and influenced individuals can be before they go and vote by the over-the-talk, false, over the top false narratives and straight up lies and propaganda that are pushed by politicians, the mainstream media, and those influencers online.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_07: Well, get in the details, but Patrick Clancy is putting minor celebrities and influencers on notice.
• 1:05:59
  SPEAKER_07: They're looking at Filing lawsuits against individuals out there who've been claiming still that he was the one who did it.
• 1:06:06
  SPEAKER_07: The jurors described the holdout as unwilling to engage with evidence presented during the deliberations.
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_07: Said he repeatedly returned to the fact that Clancy had killed her children, even as the panel discussed whether her mental state meant that she should be found guilty by reason of insanity.
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_07: I opened the show with this clip, but it's probably the most stunning pieces of audio that I've heard in a long time, and certainly of these jurors that have come forward to share their account of what took place in this case.
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_07: He had the hardest time getting over the fact that that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:06:50
  SPEAKER_07: He doesn't need to get over it, everybody.
• 1:06:52
  SPEAKER_07: I just crying out loud.
• 1:06:54
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, listen, she was a good mob.
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, she did three bad things.
• 1:06:58
  SPEAKER_07: But all indications were that she was a good mother up until that point in time.
• 1:07:03
  SPEAKER_07: I would have thought it was AI.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_07: I would have thought it was parody.
• 1:07:12
  SPEAKER_07: Here's more audio from uh the interview with uh NBC Boston.
• 1:07:16
  SPEAKER_04: Very arrogant.
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_04: He really did not take anything that anybody said.
• 1:07:23
  SPEAKER_04: The nurses, he he tried to ask a question about the medications, and we went back to the report from South Shore Hospital.
• 1:07:34
  SPEAKER_04: We had the toxicology report.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_04: We could see exactly the amount.
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_04: The nurses in the room spoke to that and toxic on the jury.
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_14: There were nurses on the jury.
• 1:07:44
  SPEAKER_14: Yes.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_07: Sean Davis at the Federalist, that's a bombshell right there.
• 1:07:51
  SPEAKER_07: The jurors talking about how there were nurses on the jury, they were looking at the toxicology report, and suddenly the nurses on the jury were touting their own expertise in conveying what they believed the toxicology reports showed.
• 1:08:08
  SPEAKER_07: Sean Davis wrote on X yesterday there is something of a major bombshell.
• 1:08:12
  SPEAKER_07: The Karen jurors were too stupid to understand while they were bragging about themselves and trashing the holdout.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_07: One of the jurors admits that multiple nurses on the jury use their experience and medical background to explain toxicology reports to the holdout juror.
• 1:09:02
  SPEAKER_07: This is allegedly the woman who put forward the note that Reddington, Clancy's attorney, saw when they were explaining that there was one holdout and he tried to go and get that juror replaced.
• 1:09:16
  SPEAKER_07: This is the mentality.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_07: It's insane.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_07: Listen to more.
• 1:09:38
  SPEAKER_03: Did we watch that video of the interview?
• 1:09:40
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's when it was.
• 1:09:42
  SPEAKER_03: He admitted he had reasonable doubt.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_03: And I started filling out the forms.
• 1:09:47
  SPEAKER_03: I was so excited.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_07: I actually I was so excited.
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_07: I was so excited to let this murderer of her children off the hook.
• 1:09:59
  SPEAKER_03: So we th there were three forms I had to fill out, and I started filling them out.
• 1:10:04
  SPEAKER_03: I wrote my signature on each one, and then he said, but I'm still not gonna say that she's not guilty with by reason of it.
• 1:10:18
  SPEAKER_65: Every woman of us any analysis of criticization would be a woman.
• 1:10:36
  SPEAKER_65: Um he would not he would not interact with us um and and try to understand.
• 1:10:46
  SPEAKER_65: We read to him on numerous occasions the definition of original doubt from Jeff Sullivan's They were badgering this dude.
• 1:10:56
  SPEAKER_07: He just wouldn't see our side.
• 1:10:58
  SPEAKER_07: He just wouldn't, he wouldn't, he wouldn't come, he wouldn't, he wouldn't change his opinion, regardless of how hard we he he tried.
• 1:11:05
  SPEAKER_07: I this case is historic.
• 1:11:12
  SPEAKER_07: And you thought there was a tension on the first trial, it is only going to get worse with the second trial.
• 1:11:19
  SPEAKER_07: The dissection of the comments of these jurors relating to our criminal justice system in 2026 is only just beginning.
• 1:11:32
  SPEAKER_07: I don't think most people even realize how impactful all of this is going to be.
• 1:11:37
  SPEAKER_07: Especially considering as I started the show off when I was previewing the story, that most of the assumptions made by individuals like myself and others was spot on correct.
• 1:11:47
  SPEAKER_07: You put forward the maybe these jurors were, I wonder if they were, and then you hear from them and you go, no, they were exactly what we expected, a bunch of Karen's out there trying to make themselves feel better by letting off one of their own.
• 1:12:02
  SPEAKER_07: And that's a part of this as well.
• 1:12:04
  SPEAKER_07: I'll dive into more of it.
• 1:12:05
  SPEAKER_07: But I've talked on the show about how the left has gone out of their way to make women a protected class.
• 1:12:12
  SPEAKER_07: This is an example of that.
• 1:12:14
  SPEAKER_07: They refused to go and hold accountable one of their own.
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_07: And I still absolutely believe that this is, by extension, just another aspect of the abortion debate argument.
• 1:12:26
  SPEAKER_65: Instruction.
• 1:12:36
  SPEAKER_65: We don't need that.
• 1:12:38
  SPEAKER_65: And we would highlight it, and you know, so-and-so, this is the definition of reason of love.
• 1:12:45
  SPEAKER_65: But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_07: He had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously murdered her children.
• 1:12:58
  SPEAKER_07: Like she said it.
• 1:13:00
  SPEAKER_07: Now, there is an aspect of this relating to Massachusetts law.
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_07: None of these women are mentioning that, by the way.
• 1:13:06
  SPEAKER_07: It would have been their benefit to do so.
• 1:13:09
  SPEAKER_07: But for Massachusetts law, the onus was on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lindsey Clancy was sane.
• 1:13:17
  SPEAKER_07: The defense team obviously did a good job in convincing these morons enough that they had their reasonable doubt.
• 1:13:26
  SPEAKER_07: But clearly, based off of the way that they're talking, it goes well beyond that.
• 1:13:30
  SPEAKER_07: They just don't think that she should have been held accountable at all.
• 1:13:32
  SPEAKER_07: I venture a guess that those women actually probably we thought she was sane and they simply don't care.
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_07: Here's a clip you probably haven't heard if you've seen these other ones floating around online.
• 1:13:41
  SPEAKER_07: This was on CBS Boston.
• 1:13:43
  SPEAKER_07: So those were three of the jurors.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_07: A fourth jury anonymously talked with CBS Boston overnight and speaks to exactly what I was just referring to about the mentality of these jurors even as they began their deliberations.
• 1:13:59
  SPEAKER_11: That person, the majority of the room was trying to kind of slay that person from the very beginning.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_02: So where did you come down from the very beginning?
• 1:14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Like what was your vote?
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_11: So originally I felt as though she was guilty and she was criminally responsible for it.
• 1:14:15
  SPEAKER_11: Um and maybe I still believe that in a s in a certain way.
• 1:14:21
  SPEAKER_07: She said the the the the juror, the fourth juror comes forward and says the other jurors were pushing to acquit on day one.
• 1:14:30
  SPEAKER_07: And this juror actually ended up changing her guilty to not guilty.
• 1:14:36
  SPEAKER_07: I have more audio to share, but I do want to get to some of your voice and text messages to the blaster line that have rolled in.
• 1:14:44

  SPEAKER_46: Good morning, John.
• 1:16:00
  SPEAKER_46: Friend Joe from uh Victoria.
• 1:16:02
  SPEAKER_46: Hey, I know it's helpful that these people have been speaking out so we can understand how crazy they are.
• 1:16:09
  SPEAKER_46: But on the other hand, like, holy cow, you know, jurors in general should not be out just going to beans.
• 1:16:15
  SPEAKER_46: How much of an ego do you have to have to be one of the jurors in this case that feels so self-important and delusional that you you go out there and and start doing interviews immediately with TV?
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_46: Have a good one.
• 1:16:29
  SPEAKER_07: And I would love to hear from our uh our our resident lawyers, whether it's lawyer extraordinaire uh Jeff O'Brien, or um who's a friend of the show, obviously, he's lawyer extraordinaire.
• 1:16:40
  SPEAKER_07: Jeff O'Brien for crying out loud.
• 1:16:41
  SPEAKER_07: Or uh friend of the show and lawyer James Dickey.
• 1:16:44
  SPEAKER_07: I would love to hear some of their thoughts on all this.
• 1:16:47
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294.
• 1:16:51
  SPEAKER_61: Hey, I hear uh Tim Wallace was just saying that uh Lindsay chicked the murderer babies.
• 1:16:57
  SPEAKER_61: We just had a bad day, so we shouldn't judge her by her just having a bad day.
• 1:17:01
  SPEAKER_61: Right?
• 1:17:02
  SPEAKER_61: Maybe he was one of the jurors.
• 1:17:05
  SPEAKER_42: Have a great day.
• 1:17:06
  SPEAKER_42: Oh, very good.
• 1:17:07
  SPEAKER_42: Very good.
• 1:17:12
  SPEAKER_29: Why does it always have to be these women?
• 1:17:16
  SPEAKER_29: I don't ever hear men talking the way these women are talking, and this is no uh offense.
• 1:17:22
  SPEAKER_29: I'm not trying to offend any of the listener women of this show, but why is it the female gender is always the ones that are like, well, you just don't understand that Adolf Hitler was having a bad day and he had bad parents.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_29: These people are apologists for evil, and the woman killed three innocent babies, and she needs to go to prison if not the death penalty, cut and dry.
• 1:17:47
  SPEAKER_29: But you let all these women on the juror jury, and this is the problem that we will always have, and this is what we have when we have politicians in Washington that are females that get duped over by people that are not good people.
• 1:18:03
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you uh for that, Scott.
• 1:18:05
  SPEAKER_07: ScottCon 4.
• 1:18:06
  SPEAKER_07: I'll give him today, friend of the show.
• 1:18:08
  SPEAKER_07: To the previous um uh blast that came in, you know, Governor uh Dim Walls and his going back to the pardon of that convicted rapist of a 10-year-old girl multiple times, and Walls saying that we all shouldn't be judged on our bad day, on our worst day.
• 1:18:29
  SPEAKER_07: Listen, that narrative, that ideology, that belief is by extension the same thing that's being deployed here, and it's utter ridiculous nonsense.
• 1:18:40
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you for pointing that out, by the way, because you make a really good point, and it's something that I hadn't uh I hadn't considered going through this.
• 1:18:45
  SPEAKER_07: But you're right.
• 1:18:46
  SPEAKER_07: This is that same mentality of we shouldn't be judged by our worst day.
• 1:18:51
  SPEAKER_07: You know, OJ's defense, you know, he was really good until he was super bad and went and murdered Ron and Nicole.
• 1:18:58
  SPEAKER_07: Derek Thompson.
• 1:19:00
  SPEAKER_07: He was a great driver, didn't have any tickets or accidents on his record.
• 1:19:06
  SPEAKER_07: You know, until he was doing 100 miles per hour coming off an on-ramp, uh go going on an off-ramp on I-35, running a red light and T-boating a Honda Civic, killing five women, right up until that point.
• 1:19:16
  SPEAKER_07: Boy, he was a great driver, so he certainly should not be held accountable for his actions.
• 1:19:21
  SPEAKER_07: You see how ridiculous this is.
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_07: Not that you needed me to provide the examples, but that's what I do here on the show.
• 1:19:28
  SPEAKER_44: Morning, John.
• 1:19:29
  SPEAKER_44: I I know Trump is the uh lightning rod and the man who's exposed to this uh syndrome, but ultimately these people have been suffering before Trump.
• 1:19:39
  SPEAKER_44: Uh we just didn't give them that unified power that these uh crazy liberals have.
• 1:19:47
  SPEAKER_44: It's the the wolf syndrome that went through them like.
• 1:19:51
  SPEAKER_44: I wish we could just laugh it off like the uh AOC hyena.
• 1:19:54
  SPEAKER_44: But come on, this is really what's going on.
• 1:19:57
  SPEAKER_44: And uh somehow we gotta brand it that way because Trump's not gonna be around forever.
• 1:20:01
  SPEAKER_44: We've got to call these commies out as to what it is.
• 1:20:04
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 1:20:05
  SPEAKER_07: This this goes this goes far beyond the Lindsey Clancy trial.
• 1:20:09
  SPEAKER_07: This should be eye-opening for anybody who's concerned about the future of the country, uh, the criminal justice system, uh elections, just right on.
• 1:20:19
  SPEAKER_07: Just our discourse in general.
• 1:20:22
  SPEAKER_07: Let me play you another clip.
• 1:20:24
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, this juror telling you from the prosecution's opening statement that she was team-free Lindsay, regardless of any of the evidence that was produced.
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_15: Everybody was very serious and somber and human by all means.
• 1:20:37
  SPEAKER_15: But you you kind of had a you know an eyebrow that occasionally went up.
• 1:20:41
  SPEAKER_15: And I'm I'm wondering what your reaction was to the prosecution's opening statement.
• 1:20:46
  SPEAKER_15: There were some things that they said in their statement that I thought got a reaction out of you be on on day one of testimony.
• 1:20:53
  SPEAKER_65: I just found it to be harsh, Sue.
• 1:20:55
  SPEAKER_65: Very, very harsh.
• 1:20:56
  SPEAKER_65: I mean, again, and maybe we we we're talking with ourselves here, but the fact that they had no character witnesses to in regard to Lindsay of of being a bad mother.
• 1:21:09
  SPEAKER_65: I mean, right out of the gate.
• 1:21:10
  SPEAKER_65: It's like you you're presenting all these medical professionals, but nobody's presenting and uh for the prosecution a woman and a mother of three children.
• 1:21:21
  SPEAKER_65: So I found it to be biased right out of the gate.
• 1:21:24
  SPEAKER_65: I I found them also to be kind of unprofessional and um just without a heart.
• 1:21:31
  SPEAKER_65: And and for me that uh right away I was like, okay, where is this going?
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_65: Right from statement one, there is no compassion in this courtroom right now, which I guess is is expected of a prosecution, but I thought it was very cold.
• 1:21:52
  SPEAKER_07: I'm speechless.
• 1:21:54
  SPEAKER_07: I am without speech for you, Seinfeld fans.
• 1:21:59
  SPEAKER_07: The prose if you in a rational, sane world that goes the other way.
• 1:22:05
  SPEAKER_07: But to sit back, oh, the prosecution was just so heartless and just mean and oh my god.
• 1:22:15
  SPEAKER_07: Typically, well, but let me let me let me pause here.
• 1:22:18
  SPEAKER_07: Let's get back to a few of your thoughts.
• 1:22:19
  SPEAKER_07: Got a lot of them that are rolling in this morning.
• 1:22:21
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-02948.
• 1:22:23
  SPEAKER_32: Good job, Eric from Tennessee.
• 1:22:25
  SPEAKER_32: I gotta say, listening to the three jurors that were the most visible in the clips, it's absolutely horrifying that that's what was going on in the jury room.
• 1:22:35
  SPEAKER_32: I suspect the fourth juror feeling pressured is going to lead to others saying the same thing.
• 1:22:42
  SPEAKER_32: You have three people pushing strong for any way to find this woman not guilty.
• 1:22:49
  SPEAKER_32: The one juror's courage, he should run for office.
• 1:22:52
  SPEAKER_32: Because Massachusetts deserves better than what they've got today.
• 1:22:56
  SPEAKER_07: No, he needs to I look um he he needs to stay as anonymous as he possibly can for as long as he can.
• 1:23:06
  SPEAKER_07: Because once that dude, you he is probably the most sought-after man right now in the country.
• 1:23:15
  SPEAKER_07: I guarantee that there are there would be vans filled with cash ready to back up to the front door of this one holdout juror to get his story.
• 1:23:29
  SPEAKER_07: And unless he's planning on staying anonymous, that guy needs to be put in the witness protection program at this point in time.
• 1:23:37
  SPEAKER_07: Because once his name gets out there, I I I don't even want to We all know what the commentary is going to be.
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_07: We all know, and and what's gonna happen is so much of what these jurors are talking about and the individuals that are defending Lindsey Clancy, it's because of their own personal insecurities in life.
• 1:23:56
  SPEAKER_07: And they will be desperate.
• 1:23:58
  SPEAKER_07: There is going to be a palpable desperation on individuals to justify their horrible take on this case and the pushback on individuals like myself who are rightly calling out the lunacy from these jurors.
• 1:24:12
  SPEAKER_07: That loan holdout will be the lightning rod of all of that pro Lindsay Clancy angst that's sitting out there right now.
• 1:24:20
  SPEAKER_07: J just wait.
• 1:24:22
  SPEAKER_07: That dude needs to stay as far away from the media and stay anonymous for as long as he uh possibly can.
• 1:24:31
  SPEAKER_07: Let's get to some more of your thoughts uh this morning.
• 1:24:33
  SPEAKER_07: We do have more audio uh to share uh on the show as well, but let's go here.
• 1:24:37
  SPEAKER_24: Good morning, John.
• 1:24:39
  SPEAKER_24: I think you know, women tend to be sympathetic to a fault.
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_24: There's actually some really interesting neuroscience experiments where they use functional MRI to look at the brain while they had men and women play a game.
• 1:24:52
  SPEAKER_24: And what they would do is they would shock the opponent at random intervals, and both men and women's uh centers of the brain that are associated with sympathy would light up.
• 1:25:02
  SPEAKER_24: Then they would have the opponent cheat and only shock them when they cheated.
• 1:25:05
  SPEAKER_24: For men, the sympathy centers wouldn't light up.
• 1:25:08
  SPEAKER_24: For women, they still did.
• 1:25:10
  SPEAKER_24: And I think that that's telling.
• 1:25:12
  SPEAKER_07: Let me play um another uh another clip.
• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_07: Uh this one, uh this is the Lindsey Clancy jurors revealing that they fell for her attorney mid-trial.
• 1:25:24
  SPEAKER_07: Listen to how they fawn over Lindsey Clancy's attorney Reddington in this in this clip.
• 1:25:32
  SPEAKER_03: Just his whole demeanor is um was funny.
• 1:25:38
  SPEAKER_03: And there was one time, whatever he said, I don't know, but I went back because he was he was entertaining, which was good because we needed some of that and arrogant at the same time.
• 1:25:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 1:25:53
  SPEAKER_04: Like arrogant and entertaining.
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_04: He would go back and forth between that.
• 1:25:58
  SPEAKER_65: Yeah, like compassionate through his with his arrogance, I guess.
• 1:26:02
  SPEAKER_04: His compassion towards Lindsay was amazing.
• 1:26:07
  SPEAKER_07: His compassion towards Lindsay was amazing.
• 1:26:12
  SPEAKER_07: And now this buffoon, Reddington, is out there trying to appeal to Donald Trump, even though he admits on another show later in the day that Trump has no say in this whatsoever.
• 1:26:24
  SPEAKER_07: So Reddington was talking with ABC News and George Snuffolophagus yesterday and said this.
• 1:26:31
  SPEAKER_16: What's next for Lindsay?
• 1:26:33
  SPEAKER_16: I'd like to uh say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this case, may very well, Mr.
• 1:26:41
  SPEAKER_16: President.
• 1:26:41
  SPEAKER_16: I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon.
• 1:26:50
  SPEAKER_16: Thanks for coming in this morning.
• 1:26:52
  SPEAKER_16: My pleasure.
• 1:26:52
  SPEAKER_16: We'll be right back.
• 1:26:53
  SPEAKER_07: Consider a pardon.
• 1:26:55
  SPEAKER_07: And then he turns around, and as I mentioned, he goes on another show and then says this.
• 1:27:01
  SPEAKER_02: As you noted, the president took note of your case, and on Good Morning America this morning, you asked him for a pardon.
• 1:27:07
  SPEAKER_02: But Lindsay's facing state charges.
• 1:27:09
  SPEAKER_02: So a presidential pardon isn't an option here.
• 1:27:11
  SPEAKER_02: So what's the goal there?
• 1:27:13
  SPEAKER_16: The goal is pretty simple.
• 1:27:15
  SPEAKER_16: It's to uh seek help from Trump.
• 1:27:19
  SPEAKER_16: I mean, if President Trump feels that this is a case that warrants that type of intervention from the executive branch, if you will, um even though legally it's not a federal case, he certainly has an awful lot of cloak.
• 1:27:34
  SPEAKER_16: And I'm sure that um you know, were he hypothetically to reach out to Tim Cruz, you know, they're both Republicans, you know.
• 1:27:42
  SPEAKER_16: I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe that will be uh something that Tim would listen to and consider.
• 1:27:46
  SPEAKER_16: I think any type of help that we can get is uh helpful.
• 1:27:53
  SPEAKER_07: He's slime.
• 1:27:54
  SPEAKER_07: He is.
• 1:27:55
  SPEAKER_07: I get it, it's his gig.
• 1:27:58
  SPEAKER_07: Probably really good at it.
• 1:28:00
  SPEAKER_07: Doesn't mean the guy's not a slime ball.
• 1:28:02
  SPEAKER_07: All right.
• 1:28:04
  SPEAKER_07: I want to run through some of your texts and voice messages that have come in to the uh blaster line at uh 651-964-0294.
• 1:28:15
  SPEAKER_07: And as I mentioned, um the these jurors, and we're gonna get more.
• 1:28:21
  SPEAKER_07: We'll hear from more jurors, and it's only going to get worse.
• 1:28:25
  SPEAKER_07: This is such an insightful moment for American politics, for discourse, online discourse, media discourse when it comes to our criminal justice system, the mentality of individuals when they go and vote.
• 1:28:43
  SPEAKER_07: It really is stunning how much is being revealed in the mentality of these women that were fighting to get a murderer of three children off the hook.
• 1:28:54
  SPEAKER_65: So-and-so, this is the definition of reason of love.
• 1:28:58
  SPEAKER_65: But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:29:04
  SPEAKER_07: Hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:29:08
  SPEAKER_07: I almost couldn't believe it when I heard it the first time.
• 1:29:12
  SPEAKER_07: All right, so we'll preview some of your comments.
• 1:29:13
  SPEAKER_07: We'll get to those coming up.
• 1:29:15
  SPEAKER_07: We'll turn our attention over to local matters as well.
• 1:29:19
  SPEAKER_07: The local media carrying the water for the left and the Trump derangement syndrome sufferers, you may or may not have seen.
• 1:29:26
  SPEAKER_07: There's been a lot of talk about the tariffs in Canada and the impact that it might have on hockey gear heading into the winter months here in Minnesota.
• 1:29:34
  SPEAKER_07: Although, of course, local media is not doing their due diligence and actually breaking down where this gear actually comes from.
• 1:29:41
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, I did it for you.
• 1:29:44
  SPEAKER_07: Also, I did some math for you.
• 1:29:45
  SPEAKER_07: Governor Dim Walls highlights milestone of nearly 450 free uh school meals served.
• 1:29:51
  SPEAKER_07: Wants a big pat on the back, I'll tell you why he um doesn't deserve a pat on the back.
• 1:29:56
  SPEAKER_07: Also, another example of why he's not running and why he had to drop out from the gubernatorial race.
• 1:30:01
  SPEAKER_07: So your comments on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the jurors audio coming up in just a moment on the show.
• 1:30:07
  SPEAKER_07: I want to remind you that as you head into the holiday months, do something different this year.
• 1:30:12
  SPEAKER_07: Typically, people go through the holidays, they pack the weight on, and they spend the first part of the next year trying to lose all the weight.
• 1:30:19
  SPEAKER_07: Get ahead.
• 1:30:20
  SPEAKER_07: Drop the weight now, and then prepare yourself to enjoy the holidays, being a brand new you, a thinner you for your friends and your family, but do it for yourself and your health.
• 1:30:32

• 1:30:46
  SPEAKER_07: It's one of the best things that you can do to live a healthier lifestyle.
• 1:30:51
  SPEAKER_07: That's to drop the weight.
• 1:30:52

  SPEAKER_60: One man, a 32-year-old named Jacob Rosenbacher from Illinois, had his name and his personal ident information stolen and was used to enroll at Normandale and obtain a federal student loan of about$9,000.
• 1:32:10
  SPEAKER_60: Jacob lives in Chicago and had never heard of Normandale, had never heard of Bloomington, Minnesota.
• 1:32:17
  SPEAKER_60: His credit score dropped almost 170 points overnight as a result of this theft, according to KSTP.
• 1:32:25
  SPEAKER_60: So again, many of these applications are thankfully caught before the money goes out the door, but very no very frequently at least, they're not caught.
• 1:32:34
  SPEAKER_60: And so you have people like Jacob whose identity is stolen, and then you've got mil literally millions of dollars going out the door.
• 1:32:40
  SPEAKER_60: U.S.

  SPEAKER_60: Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has claimed that 1800 Ghost students in Minnesota received 12.5 million dollars in taxpayer-funded aid.

• 1:32:54
  SPEAKER_60: Probably not.

• 1:33:28

• 1:35:17
  SPEAKER_07: A brand new interview.
• 1:35:23
  SPEAKER_07: He had reasonable doubt, but would not find Clancy not uh guilty.
• 1:35:28
  SPEAKER_07: Let me get you up to speed for those that haven't heard the audio from some of these jurors here on the John Justice show presented by American Experiment.
• 1:35:36
  SPEAKER_07: And then we're gonna get to uh some of your uh blaster text messages and audio messages at 651-964-0294.
• 1:35:44
  SPEAKER_04: Oregon.
• 1:35:45
  SPEAKER_04: He really did not uh take anything that anybody said.
• 1:35:51
  SPEAKER_04: The nurses, he he tried to ask a question about the medications, and we went back to it.
• 1:36:23
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe how we're gonna build out here.
• 1:36:29
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's gonna be what we have gonna build out.
• 1:36:34
  SPEAKER_03: I started selling out the phone that we still excited.
• 1:36:41
  SPEAKER_03: And I started selling the money, I will tell you an easy and then you can see that you can see that we can see it.
• 1:37:36
  SPEAKER_07: Not when you talk when it comes to the case.
• 1:37:47
  SPEAKER_65: We don't need that.
• 1:37:49
  SPEAKER_65: And we would highlight it, and you know, so-and-so, this is the definition of reason and love.
• 1:37:56
  SPEAKER_65: But he had the hardest time getting up the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:38:02
  SPEAKER_07: So you've got that woman saying that the holdout had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously murdered her children.
• 1:38:15
  SPEAKER_07: You have the juror talking about how she was happy to be signing off on letting Lindsay off the hook, and then you have uh the first uh juror in all in in this whole in this in all of this oh, I just it's incredible.
• 1:38:41
  SPEAKER_07: I'm just stunned.
• 1:38:42
  SPEAKER_07: Alright, let's hear from you.
• 1:38:43
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294.
• 1:38:47
  SPEAKER_22: You know, I used to say uh nobody loves to pat themselves on the back more than celebrities and teachers.
• 1:38:54
  SPEAKER_22: But um now I'm I'm really wondering if it is, it's just women in general.
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_22: Like, holy crap.
• 1:39:03
  SPEAKER_07: Listen, uh, there's a lot of sane women out there.
• 1:39:05
  SPEAKER_07: I think a lot of us are married to sane women.
• 1:39:08
  SPEAKER_07: So I don't want to turn into disparaging women this morning.
• 1:39:12
  SPEAKER_07: That's not the point.
• 1:39:13
  SPEAKER_07: I'm talking specifically regarding these particular uh jurors and how they acted with all of this.
• 1:39:18
  SPEAKER_07: Let's go to some of your text messages.
• 1:39:20
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, the lady who said she couldn't get over her viciously murdering the kids, it seems like a symptom of everything else.
• 1:39:27
  SPEAKER_07: We're asked to get past it in life these days, get past the idea that a woman actually wants to be called a man.
• 1:39:33
  SPEAKER_07: We're constantly being asked to disbelieve uh reality.
• 1:39:38
  SPEAKER_07: I need to find something in life, says another friend of the show, that I enjoy as much as these women do being on the jury.
• 1:39:45
  SPEAKER_07: Another comment that came in.
• 1:39:47
  SPEAKER_07: Didn't the January 6th protesters have a bad day?
• 1:39:49
  SPEAKER_07: They deserve a mulligan.
• 1:39:52
  SPEAKER_07: Another friend of the show, John, the 12th juror, he needs to hide and fear for his life.
• 1:39:57
  SPEAKER_07: You know it's just a matter of time before somebody in court releases that list of jurors to somebody and he gets found out.
• 1:40:04
  SPEAKER_07: They just can't help themselves.
• 1:40:05
  SPEAKER_07: Personally, the man deserves protection for what he did, and he needs to put his story out there.
• 1:40:09
  SPEAKER_07: That would make a blockbuster Hollywood movie, except nobody would want to play the role of him.
• 1:40:14
  SPEAKER_07: Maybe there's someone who could.
• 1:40:16
  SPEAKER_07: Who would you pick?
• 1:40:17
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I don't know at this point in time.
• 1:40:18
  SPEAKER_06: Who I would pick.
• 1:40:20
  SPEAKER_07: Don't you have to be convicted?
• 1:40:22
  SPEAKER_07: Another uh friend of the show writes in before you can be pardoned?
• 1:40:24
  SPEAKER_07: Or is that a Freudian slip by Reddington, the lawyer?
• 1:40:28
  SPEAKER_07: These three evil women are the definition of Greg Gutfeld's awful AWFL S, affluent white uh female liberals.
• 1:40:36
  unknown: Yeah.
• 1:40:38
  SPEAKER_07: Alright, let's get to a few more of your uh audio blasts uh this morning.
• 1:40:43
  SPEAKER_30: John, I was just the foreman on our jury for domestic violence.
• 1:40:48
  SPEAKER_30: Kate, I will tell you no one in that jury room was saying he really loved her.
• 1:40:57
  SPEAKER_30: So I guess he's not guilty.
• 1:40:59
  SPEAKER_30: I'm sorry.
• 1:41:01
  SPEAKER_30: In fact, she testified for him and they ignored her because they could see the fact and they dealt with the fact that feeling this is from Apple Bay.
• 1:41:27
  SPEAKER_38: In Hastings, an attempted murder trial.
• 1:41:32
  SPEAKER_38: There were too many empathetic empathetic people in that jury.
• 1:41:39
  SPEAKER_38: So I understand the idea that they just can't find it in themselves to think people do bad things on purpose.
• 1:41:48
  SPEAKER_38: So I hats off to that man for standing up.
• 1:41:52
  SPEAKER_38: I tried to stand up as much as I could, but it's it's hard to fight against toxic empathy.
• 1:41:58
  SPEAKER_07: Have a good day, John.
• 1:41:59
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, and that's and that's and that's what it is.
• 1:42:01
  SPEAKER_07: It's toxic uh empathy.
• 1:42:04
  SPEAKER_07: Alright, let's get to some more of your thoughts.
• 1:42:05
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294 here on the John Justice show presented by American Experiment.
• 1:42:11
  SPEAKER_28: How insane and utterly arrogant and the mental gymnastics required for these women on the church to try and claim that the holdout seemed arrogant.
• 1:42:29
  SPEAKER_28: When they're the ones who are trying to beat him in the commission to change his mind when he clearly has no intention to.
• 1:42:41
  SPEAKER_28: And then they wanna get on TV and laugh at him because all they wanted to do was just remove all guilt from her and just walk away because of compassion.
• 1:43:02
  SPEAKER_28: That's like next level in humanity.
• 1:43:06
  SPEAKER_28: What is wrong with all of them?
• 1:43:11
  SPEAKER_07: Do not isolate, do not make the mistake, though.
• 1:43:14
  SPEAKER_07: I maybe I'm wording that incorrectly, but don't make the mistake of thinking that it's just these jurors, by the way.
• 1:43:20
  SPEAKER_07: I know that you know this because it's not just these jurors.
• 1:43:25
  SPEAKER_07: It's why I feel like this is incredibly important.
• 1:43:28
  SPEAKER_07: Right?
• 1:43:29
  SPEAKER_07: This is uh this is one case, although we have a copycat of a woman who apparently was obsessed with this trial and ended up murdering her her child, saying that she believed that they were the antichrist, and apparently she was in chat rooms obsessed with Lindsay Clancy, whether or not there her attorney is saying there's no connection there, but be that as it be that as it may.
• 1:43:49
  SPEAKER_07: No, this goes far beyond the Lindsey Clancy trial when it comes to our public discourse, the mentality of individuals, how susceptible people are, and just how we've lost our humanity.
• 1:44:01
  SPEAKER_07: This is what happens when you're focused on the self.
• 1:44:04
  SPEAKER_07: This is what happens when your identity is the only thing that drives your decision making, feeling over everything else.
• 1:44:12
  SPEAKER_07: You become your own God, and it makes it easy to justify horrible and heinous actions like this.
• 1:44:17
  SPEAKER_07: And typically, I would take the if you weren't in the courtroom, you need to kind of be cautious in terms of commentary surrounding the jury's decision.
• 1:44:29
  SPEAKER_07: And that still holds true.
• 1:44:32
  SPEAKER_07: But there is no denying whatsoever the comments by these jurors, the logic that they deployed to justify essentially letting off one of their own, one of their own's heinous actions.
• 1:44:49
  SPEAKER_07: You know, I still contend that this is all maybe subconsciously an extension of the justification that women like this have for abortion.
• 1:45:05
  SPEAKER_07: You know, this constant refrain that, oh, she was a good mother, she was a good mother.
• 1:45:10
  SPEAKER_07: He just couldn't get over the fact that that she viciously killed her children.
• 1:45:15
  SPEAKER_07: They cannot bring themselves to go and hold one of their own accountable because they believe it's a reflection on them.
• 1:45:22
  SPEAKER_07: It's because of their own insecurities.
• 1:45:25
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, Lance Belcher was a good steward of the of Minnesota until he wasn't anymore.
• 1:45:31
  SPEAKER_07: You see how ridiculous that is.
• 1:45:34
  SPEAKER_65: So-and-so, this is the definition of reason of love.
• 1:45:38
  SPEAKER_65: But he had the hardest time getting up the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 1:45:44
  SPEAKER_50: Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on a second.
• 1:45:46
  SPEAKER_50: Did this jury foreman just say that 11 of the jurors could get over Lindsay brutally murdering her children?
• 1:45:56
  SPEAKER_50: What are we talking about in this world anymore?
• 1:46:00
  SPEAKER_50: It kind of sounds like the hormones are affecting these people on the jury as well, it's just not Lindsay.
• 1:46:06
  SPEAKER_50: Come on, people.
• 1:46:08
  SPEAKER_50: We gotta write this shift.
• 1:46:15
  SPEAKER_49: I want to uh I want to hear from the two men around that the other two men.
• 1:46:20
  SPEAKER_49: And I think we'd be honest about whether they were brought these by these cycles as we're interviewed already and tried to acquit this woman of murdering her three children.
• 1:46:35
  SPEAKER_49: I want to know what their thought process was and where they were at the beginning of the trial, at the end of the trial trial.
• 1:46:50
  SPEAKER_47: I wonder if the eleven female jurors would be changing their sympathies had Lindsay been a daycare provider and murdered three of their children.
• 1:47:02
  SPEAKER_47: Wonder if she would still have the same type.
• 1:47:06
  SPEAKER_07: Uh Patrick Clancy is uh moving forward through his attorney, Howard Cooper, in threatening legal action against the minor celebrities, influencers, and conspiracy theorists who have claimed that he was involved in the deaths of his three young children.
• 1:47:23
  SPEAKER_07: Cooper released a statement on Tuesday warning that anybody who continued promoting those claims that law enforcement would be notified.
• 1:47:29
  SPEAKER_07: And good on him.
• 1:47:31
  SPEAKER_07: A number of social media users have blamed Patrick Henry for the deaths of his children, with some claiming that he manipulated Lindsay into believing that she had killed them.
• 1:47:41
  SPEAKER_07: A former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Starr was among those claiming that Patrick Clancy was guilty, saying in a TikTok video on the 17th of August, all right, he did it.
• 1:47:50
  SPEAKER_07: Patrick did it.
• 1:47:51
  SPEAKER_07: Patrick's the one who did it, not Lindsay.
• 1:47:52
  SPEAKER_07: Patrick did it.
• 1:47:53
  SPEAKER_07: Because you know, I also heard women uh women uh that women typically don't strangle.
• 1:47:58
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, well, that makes it all make sense.
• 1:48:01
  SPEAKER_07: Cooper concluded in his statement with a stark warning to anybody who continued to spread those claims.
• 1:48:06
  SPEAKER_07: Enough is enough, he said.
• 1:48:08
  SPEAKER_07: This uh spread of blatant baseless falsehoods must stop.
• 1:48:11
  SPEAKER_07: Those re uh responsible should understand that there will be consequences and every appropriate measure will be pursued to hold them accountable uh legally.
• 1:48:19
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, and I do not uh blame him whatsoever.
• 1:48:23
  SPEAKER_07: All right.
• 1:48:24
  SPEAKER_07: We'll get to a cut of a few more of your comments.
• 1:48:26
  SPEAKER_07: I want to try to get in uh some more uh news before we get to the top of the hour and we talk with one of the leaders of the turning point USA, of a turning point USA chapter here in Minnesota, that it will be holding an event in the wake of one year since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 1:48:45
  SPEAKER_07: It'll be taking place in Burnsville, and we'll talk with Amanda Lamar just after the uh top of the hour here on the John Justice Show.
• 1:48:53
  SPEAKER_07: Continue to get your comments in, and we'll share some of those next.
• 1:48:56
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294.
• 1:48:59
  SPEAKER_07: Again, 651-964-0294.
• 1:49:03
  SPEAKER_07: And if you want, you can leave me an email, John.justice at AmericanExperiment.org.
• 1:49:07
  SPEAKER_54: And now here is commentary from the guests, hosts, and policy fellows of Center of the American Experiment.
• 1:49:13
  SPEAKER_54: To learn more, go to AmericanExperiment.org.
• 1:49:17
  SPEAKER_12: There are rooms and apartments and shelter space available for all of these people.
• 1:49:23
  SPEAKER_12: And in fact, uh speaking with a Native American leader uh last summer or a little bit longer ago, and he said he currently had five apartments rented for five different individuals living in a particular homeless encampment, but they wouldn't stay there.
• 1:49:40
  SPEAKER_12: Wow.
• 1:49:41
  SPEAKER_12: Uh so we're talking you know, thousand tens of thousands of dollars a month being uh shelled out for apartments that people aren't even using because uh they like the permissive atmosphere in the encampments and the ability to continue to use fentanyl and other drugs.
• 1:50:00
  SPEAKER_55: Think about it.
• 1:50:00
  SPEAKER_55: Minnesota has always been a low crime state.
• 1:50:04
  SPEAKER_55: But according to the most recent Bureau of Criminal Apprehension data, we are now above the national average when it comes to part one crimes, a category that includes crimes like murder, assault, rape, and carjackings.
• 1:50:17
  SPEAKER_55: Think about it.
• 1:50:18
  SPEAKER_55: Minnesota is now a high crime state.
• 1:50:21
  SPEAKER_55: Visit highcrime.com to learn more.
• 1:50:24
  SPEAKER_55: Think about it is brought to you by Center of the American Experiment, Minnesota's think tank.
• 1:50:29
  SPEAKER_59: So Tom Hauser of KSTP TV ran a story questioning the origin and accuracy of the claim that fraud in Minnesota amounts to$9 billion.
• 1:50:39
  SPEAKER_59: Obviously, we've all heard this claim.
• 1:50:41
  SPEAKER_59: We use it here at American Experiment to help explain why so many Minnesotans, 58% of Minnesotans, in fact, believe the state is on the wrong track.
• 1:50:52
  SPEAKER_59: That$9 billion figure gets used all of the time, and it's used by people in positions of authority candidates all across the board.
• 1:51:00
  SPEAKER_59: Hauser correctly traces the origin of that figure to Joe Thompson of the U.S.
• 1:51:04
  SPEAKER_59: Attorney's Office in Minneapolis.
• 1:51:06
  SPEAKER_59: Thompson said that half or more of the$18 billion in spending on 14 high-risk Medicaid programs in Minnesota was fraudulent.
• 1:51:15
  SPEAKER_59: Asked and answered, KSTP could have concluded their piece right there, as far as I'm concerned.
• 1:51:21
  SPEAKER_59: It's also worth noting that, like, this was on 14 high-risk Medicaid programs.
• 1:51:26
  SPEAKER_59: He wasn't even referencing all of Minnesota government, right?
• 1:51:30
  SPEAKER_59: Looking at all programs.
• 1:51:32
  SPEAKER_59: This was 14 Medicaid programs.
• 1:51:34
  SPEAKER_59: But Hauser goes on to compare the$9 billion assessment against a ledger of money connected to fraud convictions, including the fitting our future case, which came in a little under$300 million.
• 1:51:44
  SPEAKER_59: His conclusion is that the money uncovered through investigations, arrests, and convictions will likely never reach$9 billion.
• 1:51:52
  SPEAKER_59: Uh, aren't these two different numbers?
• 1:51:54
  SPEAKER_59: I mean, the amount of money that we're actually able to go after and prove in a court of law was fraudulently taken, and likely the amount of fraud that was committed.
• 1:52:03
  SPEAKER_54: Let your voice be heard on the John Justice Show by leaving a text or voice message blast and call the blaster line at 651-964-0294.

• 1:53:28
  SPEAKER_10: Good morning, John.
• 1:53:29
  SPEAKER_10: This is Lisa.
• 1:53:30
  SPEAKER_10: Have to call in on the Lindsay Clancy uh situation.
• 1:53:35
  SPEAKER_10: What a horrible, horrible, horrible, heinous situation.
• 1:53:40
  SPEAKER_10: Called out all that you've been talking about this morning on the show regarding women and how many women view how many things view this man's abuse selfishness and death.
• 1:53:54
  SPEAKER_10: The fact that they allowed or not allowed, but the fact that they support this woman and what she did to her three beautiful children is beautiful.
• 1:54:05
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:54:06
  SPEAKER_10: If you as a woman can support the idea of killing a baby before it's born, absolutely.
• 1:54:12
  SPEAKER_10: There's there's no length you will go to.
• 1:54:15
  SPEAKER_10: It's it's not at all surprising.
• 1:54:17
  SPEAKER_10: We are doing ourselves in.
• 1:54:19
  SPEAKER_10: Women are doing ourselves in.
• 1:54:22
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you so much for the uh blast, uh Lisa.
• 1:54:25
  SPEAKER_07: I uh definitely appreciate it.
• 1:54:27
  SPEAKER_07: I had a text message that came in.
• 1:54:29
  SPEAKER_07: It simply says, apparently I'm now a godless heathen.
• 1:54:32
  SPEAKER_07: John, you're getting more ridiculous the more you talk about this.
• 1:54:35
  SPEAKER_07: We have a juror listening to the show.
• 1:54:38
  SPEAKER_07: I don't remember calling any listeners to the show godless heathens.
• 1:54:42
  SPEAKER_07: That's a conclusion you came to on your own.
• 1:54:44
  SPEAKER_07: I would be curious, though, um, your take on this.
• 1:54:48
  SPEAKER_07: If that's how you feel based off of my uh my commentary, I would be very interested to hear your further your further thoughts.
• 1:54:55
  SPEAKER_07: So feel free to leave us another message or you know, drop a voice, uh voice blast at 651-964-0294.
• 1:55:03
  SPEAKER_07: Got another text that rolled in.
• 1:55:04
  SPEAKER_07: Unfortunately, all of this evil occurring is not really surprising.
• 1:55:07
  SPEAKER_07: If you study revelations at all, the level of crazy we see is beyond belief, but it lines up.
• 1:55:12
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, this um this falls into the same sort of line of thinking that I've had of um like it doesn't shock me, but let's never not be shocked by it.
• 1:55:24
  SPEAKER_07: You can do both, right?
• 1:55:25
  SPEAKER_07: I get it.
• 1:55:26
  SPEAKER_07: This is where we are.
• 1:55:27
  SPEAKER_07: This is what happens when people turn to the themselves rather than any sort of higher power beyond them.
• 1:55:35
  SPEAKER_07: You're able to go and justify basically anything.
• 1:55:38
  SPEAKER_07: And in this case, justifying a woman murdering her children.
• 1:55:42
  SPEAKER_07: But this commentary and the way that these jurors are speaking um are uh so far beyond the beyond the pale.
• 1:55:51
  SPEAKER_07: It's incredibly insightful.
• 1:55:52
  SPEAKER_07: It's as insightful as it is, eye-opening.
• 1:55:56
  SPEAKER_07: And the commentary around all of this certainly isn't going to quell anytime um anytime soon.
• 1:56:02
  SPEAKER_07: Like it and this is a great point.
• 1:56:04
  SPEAKER_07: His comment just rolled into the blaster line.
• 1:56:06
  SPEAKER_07: If you were a male on trial, would you want a female on the jury after this?
• 1:56:10
  SPEAKER_07: I think it really depends on what the trial is at this point in time.
• 1:56:18
  SPEAKER_07: But to get into the mindset of jurors, and there was another male juror on this, so it's not just women, even though the majority of the jurors, there were 10 women and then two men and one male holdout who needs to be protected at all costs at uh this point, uh, at this point in time.
• 1:56:36
  SPEAKER_64: Do these jurors get to be on the juror jury again if they have another trial?
• 1:56:42
  SPEAKER_64: Or do they pick new jurors?
• 1:56:44
  SPEAKER_64: No, they have to have a good day.
• 1:56:46
  SPEAKER_07: They have to pick all new jurors.
• 1:56:47
  SPEAKER_07: It has to be a completely new uh trial.
• 1:56:49
  SPEAKER_07: And it's one of the difficulties that the prosecution is uh facing with regard to this case, and that's the fact that to find a jury of your peers and more specifically individuals who are not aware of the case is going to be increasingly difficult for the prosecution um when they move forward on a on a second trial.
• 1:57:14
  SPEAKER_07: So, no, these are this is why they're speaking to the to the media now.
• 1:57:18
  SPEAKER_07: And listen, great for us.
• 1:57:19
  SPEAKER_07: We get to see the insight and glean a lot, a lot from it.
• 1:57:24
  SPEAKER_07: All right, coming up a little bit later on the show, we will dive into this after our uh conversation.
• 1:57:29
  SPEAKER_07: Got a couple stories.
• 1:57:30
  SPEAKER_07: U.S.
• 1:57:30
  SPEAKER_07: Canada trade war escalating, even impacting hockey gear as some tryouts begin, but is it really?
• 1:57:38
  SPEAKER_07: Uh myself and others did the digging into where this gear actually is coming from to show that maybe it's not that big of a concern of Canada jacking up the prices on hockey gear ahead of hockey season.
• 1:57:52
  SPEAKER_07: Also, back to school, Governor Jim Walls highlights a milestone of nearly 450 free school meals served.
• 1:58:00
  SPEAKER_07: Unfortunately, in the first article that I have from Northern News Now, they don't provide or answer any of the relevant questions that should be asked.
• 1:58:09
  SPEAKER_07: There's also another article, Minnesota Free School Meals uh tops$450 million as costs rise.
• 1:58:15
  SPEAKER_07: So KSTP goes and shows how much this is costing you, the taxpayer, but they also stop short of doing the appropriate math to actually get to the heart of just how much this is costing you, the taxpayer.
• 1:58:33
  SPEAKER_07: So these are all uh stories that we'll be diving into in the third uh hour of the show uh here on the John Justice Show presented by American Experiment.
• 1:58:43
  SPEAKER_07: And let's just go ahead and uh make it official.
• 1:59:06
  SPEAKER_07: The blaster line to leave us a voiced or text message here on uh the John Justice show is 651-964-0294.
• 1:59:16
  SPEAKER_07: You can email John.justice at AmericanExperiment.org.
• 1:59:20
  SPEAKER_07: We mentioned this uh briefly uh yesterday.
• 1:59:23
  SPEAKER_07: Georgetown University students are allegedly planning a Charlie Kirk look-alike contest on the anniversary of his assassination.
• 1:59:31
  SPEAKER_07: This, of course, has appropriately sparked uh controversy.
• 1:59:34
  SPEAKER_07: The event promoted by the anonymous social media platform Fizz unfortunately received over 2,200 upvotes, drawing condemnation from the university's turning point USA chapter.
• 1:59:47
  SPEAKER_07: The university has stated that it's not personally planning the event.
• 1:59:50
  SPEAKER_07: This is a separate organization, condemns the language used in the posts.
• 1:59:54
  SPEAKER_07: And, you know, as I've been talking about all week long, um, people just need to uh prepare for the negativity and the irrational commentary regarding the one year on since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 2:00:10
  SPEAKER_07: It's already been happening on social media.
• 2:00:12
  SPEAKER_07: It's hard to avoid if you're online.
• 2:00:14
  SPEAKER_07: Um you need to call it out for as heinous as it is, but make no mistake, it's happening.
• 2:00:18
  SPEAKER_07: The good news is that there are turning point USA chapters all across this country, individuals who respected what Charlie Kirk uh was doing on college campuses across the country, including right here in Minnesota.
• 2:00:31
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, chapter president for Turning Point USA Communities in Apple Valley, Amanda Lamar, joins uh the show this morning.
• 2:00:38
  SPEAKER_07: Good morning, Amanda.
• 2:00:39
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you so much for coming on.
• 2:00:40
  SPEAKER_07: I uh I greatly appreciate it.
• 2:00:42
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, John, thanks for having me.
• 2:00:44
  SPEAKER_07: So before we get into this event, it is taking place tomorrow at the hub in Burnsville at 7 o'clock, and we'll get into all the details coming up, but I wanted to make sure that everybody kind of was aware of what was taking place.
• 2:00:56
  SPEAKER_07: Before we get into some of your background, how you got involved with Turning Point USA and what we can expect of this event, where can people go while we're having this conversation and after the show to find out more information about this uh amazing event taking place in Burnsville tomorrow night?
• 2:01:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, thanks, John.
• 2:01:13
  SPEAKER_01: We have the easiest place is probably on Facebook.
• 2:01:16
  SPEAKER_01: If you just search Charlie Kirk Candlelight Vigil, Minnesota, you'll be able to find our event right there and you can register to come and uh see all the details.
• 2:01:26
  SPEAKER_07: So talk a little bit about um about your background and how you got involved in uh in turning point uh turning point USA.
• 2:01:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean I uh went to school at the University of Iowa and uh I had a period of time where I worked there a couple years as a resident assistant in housing and dining, which is probably one of the more progressive parts of the university.
• 2:01:49
  SPEAKER_01: And I had a couple crazy experiences there.
• 2:01:52
  SPEAKER_01: We had training for two weeks before school started, and it was basically liberal indoctrination for two straight weeks.
• 2:02:01
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I was told I can't speak on certain issues because I'm white.
• 2:02:05
  SPEAKER_01: I was told because I'm a woman, I I'm oppressed and I've experienced I I have to have experienced microaggressions as a woman.
• 2:02:13
  SPEAKER_01: Uh at one point they had me stay in a room until I could write down a microaggression that I experienced.
• 2:02:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um we even had a uh event where some other RAs staged a protest.
• 2:02:27
  SPEAKER_01: So during our during one of our trainings, they had we walked in and they had blocked off kind of the back half of the room.
• 2:02:34
  SPEAKER_01: And in the middle of the training, we had RAs just slam open the doors in the back.
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_01: They walked down to the front, were wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts and held up the fist, and basically had somebody go up to the front and say, if you were not invited to be a part of this protest, it's because you're not an ally.
• 2:02:52
  SPEAKER_01: And all resident assistants need to be allies.
• 2:02:55
  SPEAKER_01: So if you weren't asked to do this, you need to think about why you weren't invited.
• 2:03:00
  SPEAKER_01: And then they stormed back to where it was all blocked off, ripped off the tape, and segregated themselves from us, just sending a message that you are not a part, you are not where you need to be.
• 2:03:13
  SPEAKER_01: And it was it's funny looking back, but in the moment it wasn't.
• 2:03:17
  SPEAKER_01: I turned to my right and I saw my friend, who is a black man who was not invited to be a part of this protest.
• 2:03:24
  SPEAKER_01: And he happens to, he happened to be friends with a lot of RAs who are white.
• 2:03:29
  SPEAKER_01: He was dating a woman who was white.
• 2:03:31
  SPEAKER_01: And so the message to him basically was you're not an ally to your own community.
• 2:03:36
  SPEAKER_01: So just crazy things like that.
• 2:03:38
  SPEAKER_01: That was fully sanctioned by our our staff, our bosses.
• 2:03:43
  SPEAKER_01: My boss at the time was uh she was a self-described anchor baby.
• 2:03:48
  SPEAKER_01: That is how she introduced herself to us.
• 2:03:50
  SPEAKER_05: Nice.
• 2:03:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:03:51
  SPEAKER_01: And um I sh my her job was basically to counsel me.
• 2:03:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I would meet with her once a week and she had a mug that said white tears, and she would ask me to tell her about my problems.
• 2:04:03
  SPEAKER_01: And obviously um didn't feel super comfortable sharing anything with someone who was blatantly racist to me.
• 2:04:10
  SPEAKER_01: So um got to a point where I I I said, okay, I think I'm gonna report this to her boss, to the higher-ups, because it was just getting crazy.
• 2:04:20
  SPEAKER_01: I remember I went in the day to report her, and her boss, the woman I was gonna report her to, happened to be there.
• 2:04:26
  SPEAKER_01: And my boss said something along, it was Cinco de Mayo.
• 2:04:30
  SPEAKER_01: She said something along the lines of uh, it's gonna be so busy at the bars tonight because all these white people are out celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
• 2:04:39
  SPEAKER_01: White people are so effing stupid.
• 2:04:41
  SPEAKER_01: And her boss just started laughing.
• 2:04:45
  SPEAKER_01: She just laughed.
• 2:04:46
  SPEAKER_01: And in that moment, I thought, it doesn't matter what I say, it doesn't matter if I report this to anyone, nothing is gonna happen.
• 2:04:54
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember when Charlie was killed.
• 2:04:57
  SPEAKER_01: These are the things I thought back to.
• 2:04:59
  SPEAKER_01: This was 10 years ago for me.
• 2:05:01
  SPEAKER_01: And I said to myself, if only there was a turning point USA chapter, if there was a group I could have gone to when I was experiencing this, I felt so alone.
• 2:05:11
  SPEAKER_01: I felt like there's nothing I can do.
• 2:05:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I have the personality where I'll say something.
• 2:05:15
  SPEAKER_01: So for a couple of days of training, I was trying to push back.
• 2:05:18
  SPEAKER_01: And eventually I just said, I just have to survive.
• 2:05:21
  SPEAKER_01: And so I just kept my mouth shut and tried to survive it.
• 2:05:24
  SPEAKER_01: And I think about if I had a group like Turning Point, how different would that time in my life have been?
• 2:05:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:05:30
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's why I'm doing this.
• 2:05:32
  SPEAKER_07: How has um how has Turning Point been faring?
• 2:05:35
  SPEAKER_07: It's been coming up in the in the wake of uh of the one year since Charlie's assassination.
• 2:05:40
  SPEAKER_07: A lot of commentary about the organization in and of itself.
• 2:05:43
  SPEAKER_07: Can you speak just briefly um about the organization currently and um you know, how healthy the organization is in the wake?
• 2:05:50
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, that's a huge hole that turning point, you know, had had to fill, obviously on the national level, but there's a lot of chapters across the country, including uh yours.
• 2:05:58
  SPEAKER_07: And again, talking with Amanda Lamar, chapter president uh in Apple Valley for Turning Point USA uh communities.
• 2:06:04
  SPEAKER_07: But how how is the organization in the year on since uh since Charlie's assassination?
• 2:06:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, I so I just four weeks ago was a regular person who was not a part of this.
• 2:06:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm brand new to it.
• 2:06:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so I can't speak to super in depth with it, but what I'll tell you is since coming on four weeks ago, I have been so impressed by how quickly Turning Point gets me what I need, the responses, the machine that Charlie built is alive and well.
• 2:06:33
  SPEAKER_01: And it is incredible the the work that they're doing.
• 2:06:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I know that their college and high school chapters have expanded.
• 2:06:41
  SPEAKER_01: Turning Point Communities is their newest initiative.
• 2:06:44
  SPEAKER_01: So this, I believe this was actually something Charlie was working on right before he died.
• 2:06:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it was one of the very last things that he was doing.
• 2:06:52
  SPEAKER_01: He recognized the impact that they were making on college campuses, but there were so many people who were older that wanted to get involved.
• 2:06:58
  SPEAKER_01: And so he wanted to launch communities, which is for people out of high school and college who want to be a part of the mission.
• 2:07:06
  SPEAKER_01: So I was always looking for how I can get involved with turning point after Charlie died.
• 2:07:12
  SPEAKER_01: I I wanted to find a way, and so when communities launched this year, I said this is the perfect opportunity.
• 2:07:18
  SPEAKER_01: So I was just a regular person four weeks ago.
• 2:07:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm still a regular person now, but leading a turning point chapter.
• 2:07:24
  SPEAKER_01: So just want to tell your listeners if anyone's interested in leading a chapter, we're we're looking for people to start chapters all over the Twin Cities.
• 2:07:33
  SPEAKER_01: We want to have one in each city.
• 2:07:35
  SPEAKER_01: So join us.
• 2:07:38
  SPEAKER_07: Well, and with that, tomorrow night would be a perfect opportunity uh to get uh to get started.
• 2:07:42
  SPEAKER_07: Uh so a candlelight vigil marking the one year since Charlie Kirk's assassination.
• 2:07:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh seven o'clock at the hub in Burnsville.
• 2:07:48
  SPEAKER_07: Uh give us a little bit more details on this, uh, Amanda, if you would.
• 2:07:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're super excited.
• 2:07:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, a great response from the community.
• 2:07:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be at the hub in Burnsville at seven o'clock, doors open at six.
• 2:08:01
  SPEAKER_01: We'll have um some time for worship and prayer.
• 2:08:04
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna have uh a little explanation of turning point communities.
• 2:08:08
  SPEAKER_01: So if you want to find out how to get more involved in turning point, we'll share about that.
• 2:08:13
  SPEAKER_01: We'll have a few different Minnesota speakers coming.
• 2:08:16
  SPEAKER_01: We've got a pastor, we have um Senator Eric Pratt will be there.
• 2:08:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um some Turning Point USA students are gonna share just about how Charlie impacted their life.
• 2:08:26
  SPEAKER_01: And I want to tell your listeners, John, I was someone who I knew about Charlie before he died.
• 2:08:32
  SPEAKER_01: I wasn't an avid listener to his show or a huge super fan.
• 2:08:36
  SPEAKER_01: But since he passed, I've listened to so many of his speeches and just learned more and more about who he was.
• 2:08:42
  SPEAKER_01: So don't feel like you have to be a Charlie super fan to come to this.
• 2:08:46
  SPEAKER_01: Even if you're just learning about who he was and his legacy, we want everyone to come, whether you loved him and were listening to his show every day, or you're just someone who's finding out about him now.
• 2:08:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be a faith-filled night.
• 2:08:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to be a night of remembrance, it's gonna be a night of unity.

  SPEAKER_01: And so we ask you to bring bring your kids, bring your parents, bring your family.

  SPEAKER_07: Uh Amanda, thank you so much for uh joining the show this morning.
• 2:09:50
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, I'd love to have you back if you're uh up for it.

  SPEAKER_07: But thank you so much for the time this morning, and I hope you uh have a fantastic.
• 2:10:00
  SPEAKER_07: It sounds like it's gonna be a great event uh tomorrow night.

  SPEAKER_07: I'm I uh I'm bummed I can't make it down, but thank you uh so much for coming on this morning and hopefully you have a uh fantastic turnout.
• 2:10:09
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 2:10:10
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, John.
• 2:10:12
  SPEAKER_07: Uh the blaster line, again, is 651-964-0294.
• 2:10:17
  SPEAKER_07: If you want to leave a uh comment, voice, or uh text.
• 2:10:21
  SPEAKER_07: I did get a text message.
• 2:10:22
  SPEAKER_07: There was an individual who had uh left a comment uh last hour regarding the lengthy conversation we were having over the jurors being interviewed uh who were uh tasked with um being jurors on the Lindsey Clancy case.
• 2:10:36
  SPEAKER_07: They said, apparently I'm a godless heathen now.
• 2:10:38
  SPEAKER_07: John, you're getting more ridiculous the more you talk about this.
• 2:10:40
  SPEAKER_07: And I wanted to know the background here, okay?
• 2:10:43
  SPEAKER_07: And they wrote me another message and I want to share it with you.
• 2:10:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh I've left you voice messages, John.
• 2:10:49
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 2:10:49
  SPEAKER_07: Uh you said anyone that could think there are doubts in the case uh has a God-sized hole in their hearts and life.
• 2:10:56
  SPEAKER_07: Previously you said that anyone that thinks there are doubts for an abortion and would celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk, you're gonna say, I didn't say that, but you did.
• 2:11:05
  SPEAKER_07: I understand your opinion on the case, but uh maybe let's not scoop everyone that doesn't 100% agree with you with the crazy leftist death cult like you're uh like you're doing.
• 2:11:15
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 2:11:15
  SPEAKER_07: Uh fair enough.
• 2:11:16
  SPEAKER_07: But if I'm not talking, if I'm not describing you, then I'm not talking about you.
• 2:11:22
  SPEAKER_07: And that is something that I've always said on the show.
• 2:11:25
  SPEAKER_07: As a talk show host, and having done this for multiple decades, uh you do you do generalizing.
• 2:11:32
  SPEAKER_07: Uh we talk about uh teachers and the leftist indoctrination that teachers uh do on the students.
• 2:11:39
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 2:11:39
  SPEAKER_07: If you're a teacher and you're not a part of that, then I'm not talking about you.
• 2:11:44
  SPEAKER_07: If you don't have, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you don't have a God sized hole in your heart and you question this, that's fine.
• 2:11:52
  SPEAKER_07: You're but you can have that uh opinion.
• 2:11:54
  SPEAKER_07: I'm gonna disagree with you.
• 2:11:57
  SPEAKER_07: But if you're not one of those jurors, I'm not talking about.
• 2:12:00
  SPEAKER_07: You and if I'm not fully describing who you are as a person, then I'm not uh talking about you.
• 2:12:05
  SPEAKER_07: So it's a choice to be offended, I guess is ultimately what I'm trying to say here on the John Justice Show.
• 2:12:11
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294.
• 2:12:15
  SPEAKER_07: Let's go back to the blaster line this morning regarding the um assassination of Charlie Kirk and the one-year anniversary since then.
• 2:12:22
  SPEAKER_36: Good morning, John.
• 2:12:22
  SPEAKER_36: It's certainly sad we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of uh Charlie Kirk's death, but I have to say turning point uh went on a total opposite direction of a vision that uh Charlie Kirk had right before he died.
• 2:12:39
  SPEAKER_36: He wasn't in support of our greatest ally anymore.
• 2:12:44
  SPEAKER_36: And I think if people connect the dots, it's pretty easy to see what really happens.
• 2:12:49
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I'm not going down that road.
• 2:12:51
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, thank you for the comment.
• 2:12:52
  SPEAKER_07: You're entitled to your opinion, but um, yeah, I'm not going, I'm not going down the road of connecting dots and trying to make a claim that turning point isn't what it is anymore, and it sounds like you're teetering into Candace Owens territory, and that will not be happening on the show this morning.
• 2:13:07
  SPEAKER_07: I do appreciate your comments.
• 2:13:08
  SPEAKER_07: You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with that, and I want to speak positively regarding the Turning Point USA event coming up uh tomorrow.
• 2:13:17
  SPEAKER_07: It's a fantastic event.
• 2:13:18
  SPEAKER_07: The organization is still trying to do the best job that it possibly can in the wake of losing its founder and leader.
• 2:13:26
  SPEAKER_07: I think Erica Kirk has been doing a very admirable job in doing so, and that's why I asked Amanda Lamar her thoughts on the on the organization and the health of the organization, because there are a lot of questions swirling around whether or not the organization can continue in its efforts with Charlie Kirk um being assassinated and no longer having him at the helm.
• 2:13:44
  SPEAKER_07: And they've done a fantastic job in a year on, and certainly will be in the numerous events that are taking place across the country uh to go and honor his life and uh legacy.
• 2:13:56
  SPEAKER_07: And Amanda made a really good um comment regarding the fact that she wasn't as familiar with Charlie Kirk until after his passing.
• 2:14:04
  SPEAKER_07: And that rings true for um a lot of people.
• 2:14:08
  SPEAKER_07: A lot of people who have discovered Charlie Kirk and the message that he was uh spreading um while he was uh while he was with us.
• 2:14:15
  SPEAKER_07: 651-964-0294.
• 2:14:20
  SPEAKER_07: So the U.S.
• 2:14:21
  SPEAKER_07: and Canada trade war, looking at a story here from Kara Levin, has escalated with new tariffs on American exports to Canada, impacting over 550 items, including some hockey gear.
• 2:14:33
  SPEAKER_07: While companies are absorbing the immediate increase, price adjustments are expected.
• 2:14:38
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, if the situation persists, the tariffs are disrupting decades of free trade that could negatively impact the demand for hockey, an already expensive sport.
• 2:14:47
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 2:14:48
  SPEAKER_07: So uh just a few points from the story, and then I want to provide clarity for you.
• 2:14:53
  SPEAKER_07: So the move on the tariffs in Canada comes after President Donald Trump put a 50% tariff on Canadian goods last month.
• 2:15:01
  SPEAKER_07: More than 550 things we mentioned are on the list.
• 2:15:03
  SPEAKER_07: Kitchenware, plywood, even some hockey gear, no doubt grabbing people's attention as youth um association tryouts are already underway.
• 2:15:11
  SPEAKER_07: One individual who's involved with a Quebec-based Blue Sports says we're a one-stop shop for smaller accessories for hockey.
• 2:15:18
  SPEAKER_07: He sells hundreds of products in 42 countries, including the U.S., most of which are impacted by a tariff agreement.
• 2:15:24
  SPEAKER_07: He says that the skate guards, some sticks and tape will be impacted, particularly if it's made of plastic.
• 2:15:31
  SPEAKER_07: Experts say the conflict is upending decades of free trade between the two countries.
• 2:15:37
  SPEAKER_07: Now, um, KSTP was not the only outlet taking the stance.
• 2:15:41
  SPEAKER_07: Fox Nine had a headline.
• 2:15:42
  SPEAKER_07: Tariffs on Canada could make an already expensive sport even pricier for hockey families.
• 2:15:48
  SPEAKER_07: For families with kids in hockey, the price of gear was already painful.
• 2:15:51
  SPEAKER_07: Now it could get worse.
• 2:15:53
  SPEAKER_07: So at Tony R U D H on X, at Tony R U D H on X pointed this out, and I want to use some of what they mentioned.
• 2:16:02
  SPEAKER_07: He went and uh checked in with the AI overlords uh on this uh issue.
• 2:16:08
  SPEAKER_07: And they said this checking the Fox 9 article against the trade data and local reporting to see whether or not the framing overstates how much Minnesota hockey gear is actually made in Canada.
• 2:16:20
  SPEAKER_07: The tweets in the headline are misleading.
• 2:16:23
  SPEAKER_07: The article is more careful, but the way that Fox 9 packaged it still overstates what a Canada-specific tariff is likely to do to typical Minnesota youth hockey bills.
• 2:16:36
  SPEAKER_07: The tweet says the tariffs on Canada could make an already expensive uh sport even pricier for hockey families.
• 2:16:42
  SPEAKER_07: The headline is sharper.
• 2:16:43
  SPEAKER_07: Hockey gear costs soaring in Minnesota.
• 2:16:46
  SPEAKER_07: 50% Canadian tariffs threaten to push prices higher.
• 2:16:49
  SPEAKER_07: That frames the Canada tariff as a broad hit on Minnesota families.
• 2:16:53
  SPEAKER_07: The evidence does not support that claim.
• 2:16:58
  SPEAKER_07: So you get into the actual details of the countries that are manufacturing these goods.
• 2:17:04
  SPEAKER_07: Canada accounted for roughly 8.5% of U.S.
• 2:17:08
  SPEAKER_07: hockey equipment imports last year.
• 2:17:11
  SPEAKER_07: China was first at 52%, followed by Vietnam at 13.2.
• 2:17:17
  SPEAKER_07: Making a lot of hockey equipment in Vietnam, apparently.
• 2:17:20
  SPEAKER_07: Thailand at 9.5%.
• 2:17:22
  SPEAKER_07: We're still not to Canada yet.
• 2:17:25
  SPEAKER_07: For sticks specifically, the share is even smaller.
• 2:17:29
  SPEAKER_07: Of 2.1 million hockey sticks imported, only 0.9%, about 19,000 actually came from Canada.
• 2:17:36
  SPEAKER_07: China supplied 74%, and Mexico 13%.
• 2:17:40
  SPEAKER_07: Minnesota shops and officials say the same pattern holds locally.
• 2:17:44
  SPEAKER_07: A Nadina retailer told the Star Tribune the Canadian manufacturer stick market is non-existent.
• 2:17:50
  SPEAKER_07: So there is truth to be found in the article.
• 2:17:54
  SPEAKER_07: It's just not the whole truth.
• 2:17:57
  SPEAKER_07: We're going backwards with the main with the lame stream media.
• 2:18:01
  SPEAKER_07: It's and again, it's just a continued frustration for myself and for others because we would be living in such a different world and have such better commentary and discourse surrounding these issues if we had reporting that was thorough and not so biased and agenda driven.
• 2:18:21
  SPEAKER_07: There's a reason why Trump is doing what he's doing.
• 2:18:24
  SPEAKER_07: You don't have to agree with the tariffs on Canada.
• 2:18:27
  unknown: Okay?
• 2:18:27
  SPEAKER_07: You don't you don't have to.
• 2:18:29
  SPEAKER_07: But at least let's be honest about the actual impact it's gonna have and how long it's gonna take that impact to have as well.
• 2:18:35
  SPEAKER_07: It's not like it happens overnight.
• 2:18:37
  SPEAKER_07: In some cases, it does, in some circumstances, it does.
• 2:18:40
  SPEAKER_07: But a lot of times these orders are already in.
• 2:18:44
  SPEAKER_07: In this case, when you have seasonal sports, a lot of these places that sell these items, they've already put they put their orders in earlier this year, long before the season starts, so they have the proper stock of the product that they need.
• 2:19:00
  SPEAKER_07: In which case, this would have an even lesser impact than what the article wants to portray before we even get into the details of how Canada doesn't even import that much of the product that they say is going to be hit.
• 2:19:17
  SPEAKER_07: No, it's all about getting the headline.
• 2:19:20
  SPEAKER_07: U.S.
• 2:19:20
  SPEAKER_07: trade war escalates, hockey gear, tryouts begin, could be bad for everybody.
• 2:19:24
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, Trump is bad.
• 2:19:25
  SPEAKER_07: Remember, these imports could end up skyrocketing because Trump and his tariffs.
• 2:19:29
  SPEAKER_07: They know that it drives the clicks.
• 2:19:31
  SPEAKER_07: They know that it drives the views.
• 2:19:33
  SPEAKER_07: It's all done very intentionally.
• 2:19:36
  SPEAKER_07: It's just unfortunate because the people that end up losing in all of this are those that are actually watching the news reports, reading the news, who end up getting a less than thorough evaluation of the actual issue.
• 2:19:51
  SPEAKER_07: It ends up feeding their already, you know, their bias that's already embedded in them.
• 2:19:59
  SPEAKER_07: Got a text that rolled in from Chad and Oka.
• 2:20:02
  SPEAKER_07: Wait, Canada had free trade?
• 2:20:03
  SPEAKER_07: Didn't they have a bunch of things that had a 100% plus on U.S.
• 2:20:06
  SPEAKER_07: imported things like milk and eggs?
• 2:20:09
  SPEAKER_07: It's a very good point.
• 2:20:11
  SPEAKER_07: I'm gonna pick on the media a little bit here.
• 2:20:14
  SPEAKER_07: Back to school.
• 2:20:15
  SPEAKER_07: Governor Walls highlights the milestone of nearly 450 free school meals served.
• 2:20:22
  SPEAKER_07: So I'm looking off the first version of this story.
• 2:20:24
  SPEAKER_07: Let's kind of keep with the theme of hammering on the media and their lack of quality reporting.
• 2:20:30
  SPEAKER_07: According to Walls, nearly 450 free meals served to students with the launch of the state-funded program.
• 2:20:36
  SPEAKER_07: Without the burden, he says, of school lunches, families to save an average of$1,000 per student, Walls said.
• 2:20:44
  SPEAKER_07: It's such a BS.
• 2:20:48
  SPEAKER_07: Because it's costing way more than the Democrats said it was going to cost.
• 2:20:51
  SPEAKER_07: I know you're not shocked by this.
• 2:20:53
  SPEAKER_07: But it's not like this is free.
• 2:20:54
  SPEAKER_07: None of it's free.
• 2:20:55
  SPEAKER_07: You're paying for it.
• 2:20:57
  SPEAKER_07: I am.
• 2:20:58
  SPEAKER_07: You are.
• 2:20:59
  SPEAKER_07: If you're here in Minnesota, Devin is.
• 2:21:02
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, but it's saving families$1,000 a year.
• 2:21:05
  SPEAKER_07: Mm-hmm.
• 2:21:07
  SPEAKER_07: Wall said every meal we serve means one less child is worried about hunger and one more student is ready to learn.
• 2:21:16
  SPEAKER_07: Too bad it's not reflective in the uh graduation uh test scores.
• 2:21:21
  SPEAKER_07: As we begin a new school year, we're reminded that breakfast and lunch are essential to a child's health development and success.
• 2:21:28
  SPEAKER_07: And we're the government and we're here to make sure that your kids get fed every year.
• 2:21:31
  SPEAKER_07: If you gave us the opportunity, your kids could just live at our schools until they're a voting age.
• 2:21:37
  SPEAKER_07: They would have that if they could.
• 2:21:41
  SPEAKER_07: As a teacher and a parent, I know how powerful it is when students walk into a classroom nourished, focused, and ready to thrive, all while families get a little more breathing room in their budgets.
• 2:21:52
  SPEAKER_07: Just ignore all the fraud that stole billions from you.
• 2:21:58
  SPEAKER_07: Ignore the fact that if you go through the list of how we're on the wrong track here in Minnesota at AmericanExperiment.org, we're a below average state economically.
• 2:22:09
  SPEAKER_07: You got kids in Mississippi that can read better than kids here in Minnesota.
• 2:22:13
  SPEAKER_07: Half aren't proficient in math or reading.
• 2:22:15
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, but their bellies are full with garbage, processed, packaged food, all thanks to Governor Dimwalls, who did such a bang-up job with this that he had to drop out running for governor.
• 2:22:27
  SPEAKER_07: In its first year, breakfast participation grew by 40%, and lunch participation grew by 15% compared to the previous school year.
• 2:22:35
  SPEAKER_07: Walls said the program was created to ensure that no student goes hungry, lower costs for families, and reduces stigma in school cafeterias.
• 2:22:43
  SPEAKER_07: So it's a convenient way to go and frame this article to make it sound like that Walls has done this amazing job when it comes to free school meals, but it's wrong.
• 2:22:54
  SPEAKER_07: I know that you are not surprised by this, but it is absolutely wrong.
• 2:22:58
  SPEAKER_07: I'm gonna share with you why here in just a moment on the show.
• 2:23:02
  SPEAKER_07: There's a story following the same line of thinking, the same headline.
• 2:23:07
  SPEAKER_07: Minnesota free school meals, top 450 million, as costs rise.
• 2:23:13
  SPEAKER_07: So at least KSTP pointed to the fact that costs have risen.
• 2:23:18
  SPEAKER_07: Now, they didn't do the extra step that I took for you this morning to actually give you the percentage of the increase that has actually occurred with the free school meals program.
• 2:23:27
  SPEAKER_07: We're gonna dive into this next here on the John Justice Show, presented by American Experiment.
• 2:23:33
  SPEAKER_07: Get your comments in to the blaster line, voice or text message at 651-964-0294.
• 2:23:41
  SPEAKER_07: Again, that's 651-964-0294.
• 2:23:46
  SPEAKER_07: We're gonna uh visit uh with uh Grace Keating and her series on coming to the classroom here in just a moment as we can continue to talk about free school meals.
• 2:23:55
  SPEAKER_07: But speaking of meals, I know that you lose a few pounds when you go on a diet, the weight all comes back, and then you do the whole thing again, you lose the weight, you're all happy, you feel great, you feel rejuvenated, you got your energy, and then the weight all comes back on.
• 2:24:08
  SPEAKER_07: That stops today with Neutrowave.
• 2:24:11
  SPEAKER_07: Reignite your energy, turn on your fat burning and do it all naturally so you look healthy, right?
• 2:24:17
  SPEAKER_07: That's not to begrudge anybody that's decided to try to better their life by losing weight through pharmaceuticals, pills, and shots.
• 2:24:25
  SPEAKER_07: There's a healthier way to do it.
• 2:24:27
  SPEAKER_07: And with this program with Neutrowave, for me, and it can be the same for you, I'm able to keep the weight off.
• 2:24:33
  SPEAKER_07: My relationship with food.
• 2:24:34
  SPEAKER_07: I love food.
• 2:24:35
  SPEAKER_07: I still love food, I still eat the food that I want to eat, but I have a different relationship with food.
• 2:24:41
  SPEAKER_07: And it's not even a part, it's like an unintended positive byproduct of this amazing Neutrowave program.
• 2:24:46

• 2:25:27
  SPEAKER_07: Results may vary.
• 2:25:28
  SPEAKER_07: Nutrowave is not a medical treatment.
• 2:25:30
  SPEAKER_07: Consult your physician before starting any weight loss program.
• 2:25:32
  SPEAKER_60: In this week's episode of Coming to a Classroom Near You, we look at the new requirement to teach ethnic studies in all K-12 schools in Minnesota, which must be implemented in 2026.
• 2:25:42
  SPEAKER_60: Ethnic Studies includes three distinct standards: identity, resistance, and ways of knowing and methodologies.
• 2:25:50
  SPEAKER_60: The resistance standard takes learning to a whole new level.
• 2:25:53
  SPEAKER_60: It requires students to describe how individuals and communities have fought for liberation against systemic exercises of power and organize with others to engage in such activities.
• 2:26:05
  SPEAKER_60: The ways of knowing standard requires students to understand the roots of contemporary systems of oppression and apply lessons from the past that could eliminate contemporary injustices.
• 2:26:17
  SPEAKER_60: Within these standards are K-12 grade-level benchmarks that represent the specific knowledge and or skill a student must accomplish.
• 2:26:24
  SPEAKER_60: Since there is no external approval process on the benchmarks, the Minnesota Department of Education writes whatever content it wants and then distributes it to schools to teach.
• 2:26:33
  SPEAKER_60: For example, kindergartners, five-year-olds, will have to retell a story about an unfair experience that conveys a power imbalance and will no longer have to describe symbols, songs, and traditions that identify our nation and state, such as the American flag, bald eagle, pledge of allegiance, and Minnesota State Flag.
• 2:26:56
  SPEAKER_60: First graders, six-year-olds, must identify examples of ethnicity, equality, liberation, and systems of power, and construct meanings for those terms.
• 2:27:07
  SPEAKER_60: And will no longer have to explain why and when the Pledge of Allegiance is recited or provide examples of basic flag etiquette.
• 2:27:16
  SPEAKER_60: Fourth graders, 10-year-olds, must identify the processes and impacts of colonization and examine how discrimination and the oppression of various racial and ethnic groups have produced resistance movements.
• 2:27:28
  SPEAKER_60: And will no longer have to name and locate countries neighboring the United States, like Canada and Mexico, and their major cities.
• 2:27:37
  SPEAKER_60: We shouldn't be surprised by these changes.
• 2:27:39
  SPEAKER_60: The Minnesota Department of Education's controlling document explicitly states this is an intentional shift and reframing of the entire approach to K-12 social studies education used in Minnesota schools.
• 2:27:52
  SPEAKER_60: MDE claims the 2011 social studies standards and benchmarks are deficient because they organize student learning around content.
• 2:28:00
  SPEAKER_60: While MDE acknowledges that content knowledge sometimes plays a role, in general it intends to replace our school's current content-based approach to instruction with what it calls inquiry-based pedagogy.
• 2:28:13
  SPEAKER_60: Under this approach, students are asked to construct their own meaning based on asking difficult questions instead of mastering specific factual knowledge.
• 2:28:23
  SPEAKER_60: Again and again throughout the benchmarks, MDE's central theme is clear: replacing content with ideology disguised as inquiry-based pedagogy.
• 2:28:32
  SPEAKER_60: When Ethnic Studies was presented to the Minnesota legislature in 2023, it was portrayed as the study of different cultures, students seeing themselves in the curriculum, and learning honest history.
• 2:28:44
  SPEAKER_60: But like so many other familiar terms, Minnesota's version of ethnic studies has been hijacked to apply a liberated approach to understanding our world.
• 2:28:52
  SPEAKER_60: Minnesota students deserve a robust education that includes learning hard historical truths and frank discussions on where our country has fallen short.
• 2:29:01
  SPEAKER_60: Not one that is confined to a narrow, politicized, and ideological worldview.
• 2:29:06
  SPEAKER_60: Recently, California rejected a statewide ethnic studies mandate because it was too divisive.
• 2:29:12
  SPEAKER_60: How will Minnesota respond?
• 2:29:14
  SPEAKER_60: To learn more about Minnesota's ethnic studies standards, visit AmericaneExperiment.org/slash ethnic studies.
• 2:29:22
  SPEAKER_07: Minnesota Free School Meals tops$450 million as costs rise.
• 2:29:28
  SPEAKER_07: Working off the version here from KSTP here on the John Justice Show, presented by American Experiment.
• 2:29:35
  SPEAKER_07: Governor Jim Walls promoted the program at Hoover Elementary School in Coon Rapids on the first day of school.
• 2:29:42
  SPEAKER_07: The free school meals program began in uh 2004 and saw participation rise right away.
• 2:29:49
  SPEAKER_07: We're going to be focusing uh in on that.
• 2:29:52
  SPEAKER_07: I do have a few clips of uh Governor Jim Walls at Hoover Elementary School talking uh talking about this.
• 2:30:12
  SPEAKER_07: Okay, that might have been uh an older an older clip.
• 2:30:16
  SPEAKER_07: That might not have been at Hoover just recently.
• 2:30:22
  SPEAKER_19: Hockey is already an expensive fork.
• 2:30:24
  SPEAKER_19: Sounds like a privilege fork.
• 2:30:26
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, please stop.
• 2:30:29
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, you know what?
• 2:30:31
  SPEAKER_07: I'll go ahead and play it.
• 2:30:33
  SPEAKER_06: I'll go ahead and play it.
• 2:30:34
  SPEAKER_06: I think maybe they're joking.
• 2:30:35
  SPEAKER_19: Hockey is already an expensive fork.
• 2:30:37
  SPEAKER_19: Sounds like a privileged fork, largely white people.
• 2:30:41
  SPEAKER_19: So it's probably white supremacy, oppressive sport.
• 2:30:46
  SPEAKER_19: And so what I'm getting now is that the left thinks that tariffs on white supremacy and oppressive sports is a bad thing.
• 2:30:57
  SPEAKER_19: Okay, I think we're getting somewhere.
• 2:30:59
  SPEAKER_07: So my apologies.
• 2:31:00
  SPEAKER_07: I jumped the gun there.
• 2:31:01
  SPEAKER_07: I was thinking they were going to the level of ridiculousness I didn't want to cover on the show, but they were being sarcastic.
• 2:31:07
  SPEAKER_07: So let's go here.
• 2:31:09
  SPEAKER_25: If I hear one more word about free school meals from Governor Jim Wall, I'm gonna vomit.
• 2:31:17
  SPEAKER_25: It's not a flex, Governor, that you have to provide meals to all these kids because they can't afford it.
• 2:31:24
  SPEAKER_25: Or actually, they can afford it, but let's give them free meals anyways.
• 2:31:27
  SPEAKER_25: People on welfare is not a flex, you moron.
• 2:31:32
  SPEAKER_25: The state is so, so stupid.
• 2:31:35
  SPEAKER_07: But it is for those on the left.
• 2:31:36
  SPEAKER_07: It is a flex.
• 2:31:38
  SPEAKER_07: The more social welfare programs, the better.
• 2:31:40
  SPEAKER_07: The more individuals who are supported, whose mediocre lifestyles are supported through the government, the better.
• 2:31:47
  SPEAKER_07: The more arguments that Democrats can go and make against Republicans, the better.
• 2:31:51
  SPEAKER_07: The more free stuff that we can provide to individuals that are not accessing whatever brain cells they have left, the better.
• 2:31:59
  SPEAKER_51: Can we go back and look at the test results and scores and the ratings of back in the day when mom and dad actually supplied the kids with their lunches and foods versus how the kids are doing today and how the ratings are today when the government is giving them the food.
• 2:32:21
  SPEAKER_07: That is an excellent point.
• 2:32:23
  SPEAKER_07: Uh friend of the show, thanks for the blast at 651-964-0294.
• 2:32:29
  SPEAKER_35: John, don't forget the burden of families that have to supply campons for their teenage boys.
• 2:32:35
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 2:32:36
  SPEAKER_07: Well, they don't have to because Governor Jim Walls made sure that those were in the bathrooms for everybody.
• 2:32:40
  SPEAKER_07: That's right.
• 2:32:41
  SPEAKER_07: Got a uh couple of uh texts that rolled in.
• 2:32:44
  SPEAKER_07: Hockey guy here, coach 20 years still play.
• 2:32:46
  SPEAKER_07: The tariff uh only has a real impact on those who buy wooden hockey sticks.
• 2:32:51
  SPEAKER_07: No one does anymore.
• 2:32:52
  SPEAKER_07: Especially uh specially designed or specially designed skates, excuse me.
• 2:32:57
  SPEAKER_07: Everything else is either unaffected or mildly so.
• 2:33:03
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, my wife works in a school system as a teacher, and I have witnessed the garbage that they serve for breakfast and lunch getting back to free school meals, and we wonder why there is an obesity problem.
• 2:33:13
  SPEAKER_07: No, you're absolutely right.
• 2:33:14
  SPEAKER_07: I remember I get photographs when this first was uh implemented from those that are working inside of the inside of the schools, and they were showing me the garbage food.
• 2:33:24
  SPEAKER_07: It was and again, it it it's a it's another, there's so many that we cover on the show, but it is.
• 2:33:31
  SPEAKER_07: It's another great example of how on the left they talk about all these things that they say they care about, and they don't really care about any of these things.
• 2:33:39
  SPEAKER_07: Michelle Obama wanted to improve the meals that the students were getting.
• 2:33:45
  SPEAKER_07: The whole idea was that students were leaving school and going to convenience stores and getting garbage processed food from convenience stores.
• 2:33:54
  SPEAKER_07: Your bear claws, your Twinkies, your ho ho's, right?
• 2:33:58
  SPEAKER_07: So she wanted.
• 2:34:01
  SPEAKER_07: Schools to end up feeding the students better meals.
• 2:34:04
  SPEAKER_07: Well, now we've gone the other route.
• 2:34:06
  SPEAKER_07: Now we're giving all the kids all this free food.
• 2:34:08
  SPEAKER_07: It's not free.
• 2:34:09
  SPEAKER_07: You're paying for it on top of it.
• 2:34:10
  SPEAKER_07: It's garbage.
• 2:34:12
  SPEAKER_07: If it's not weak white bread sliced turkey in American, a slice of American cheese thrown together, then it is the packaged stuff that you would just buy at the convenience store that Michelle Obama used to go and push against.
• 2:34:27
  SPEAKER_07: Got a text they're rolled in.
• 2:34:29
  SPEAKER_07: Good morning, John.
• 2:34:29
  SPEAKER_07: Great show.
• 2:34:30
  SPEAKER_07: As far as the government control in school, there's a show on Netflix.
• 2:34:33
  SPEAKER_07: Check it out.
• 2:34:33
  SPEAKER_07: It's called The Unlisted.
• 2:34:35
  SPEAKER_07: It's a pretty poor quality, but the story is very intriguing about the government controlling kids.
• 2:34:40
  SPEAKER_07: Got another comment here.
• 2:34:42
  SPEAKER_07: My last job was in sales.
• 2:34:44
  SPEAKER_07: I did a lot of business with Minnesota school faculty managers.
• 2:34:47
  SPEAKER_07: One guy who led the district told me that they threw away thousands of pounds of food from kids who got their free lunch daily but didn't touch the food.
• 2:34:55
  SPEAKER_07: They just tossed the whole garbage, the whole cardboard tray.
• 2:34:59
  SPEAKER_07: Farmers took it from the school lunch cemetery to feed the pigs.
• 2:35:05
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, going back to that original article, um, I forgot I had some notes I didn't uh I hadn't uh shared with you.
• 2:35:12
  SPEAKER_07: But like of all the questions that were not raised in the program, and that's one of them.
• 2:35:19
  SPEAKER_07: Okay, so I know you have 450 meals that you've given, but what what were those meals?
• 2:35:26
  SPEAKER_07: What was the food that was given?
• 2:35:28
  SPEAKER_07: How much of it was thrown away by the students?
• 2:35:33
  SPEAKER_07: Now, those are just a few of the questions.
• 2:35:36
  SPEAKER_07: Another question rolled in.
• 2:35:38
  SPEAKER_07: If children are going hungry, the parents need to be prosecuted for neglect.
• 2:35:42
  SPEAKER_07: Then maybe they won't be having kids that they can't afford.
• 2:35:45
  SPEAKER_07: A part of the argument for the free school meals program was to push back on the already poor public education the students were receiving, courtesy of Education Minnesota and the policies of the DFL and Governor Dim Walls.
• 2:35:58
  SPEAKER_07: The idea was, oh, you know what?
• 2:35:59
  SPEAKER_07: Here's an excuse that we can provide.
• 2:36:01
  SPEAKER_07: Kids were hungry.
• 2:36:02
  SPEAKER_07: Studies show that with hungry kids, they don't do as well in school.
• 2:36:06
  SPEAKER_07: So what we'll do, we'll go and provide a bunch of free school meals, and that'll at least give us a bit of a stop gap.
• 2:36:12
  SPEAKER_07: When it comes to the criticism, and we can say we're dealing with the low test scores.
• 2:36:19
  SPEAKER_07: We're dealing with the lack of proficiency in reading and math because we're feeding the kids now.
• 2:36:24
  SPEAKER_07: Now we know on a long enough timeline it's going to bear out that it's not going to have any tangible impact whatsoever, but they at least get a short-term election cycle gain for those that want to vote Democrat to say, hey, look, they're doing something about it.
• 2:36:38
  SPEAKER_07: Look, I know the scores are bad, but look, they're feeding the kids now.
• 2:36:41
  SPEAKER_07: Plus, as I mentioned, they end up having an argument to push back on anybody who would rightly so go and say, like I have and like other politicians have in the legislature, this program is completely unnecessary.
• 2:36:54
  SPEAKER_07: As a previous talkbacker said, there were plenty of ways for students who come from low-income families to already get subsidized meals.
• 2:37:02
  SPEAKER_07: We didn't need to go and extend this to everybody else.
• 2:37:06
  SPEAKER_07: My kid just had a cookie for breakfast yesterday at Centennial School District.
• 2:37:11
  SPEAKER_07: Another person wrote in the kids would rather eat pizza and fast food than healthy entrees at school.
• 2:37:16
  SPEAKER_07: Thus, the entrees are trashed.
• 2:37:21
  SPEAKER_07: All right, let's go back to some of your comments.
• 2:37:24
  SPEAKER_07: Well, here before I do that, let me get to the math that I did, because I did this math and I should probably share it with you or else I wasted my time this morning.
• 2:37:30
  SPEAKER_07: So in the KSTP article, and then we're going to get back to more of your uh to more of your your commentary.
• 2:37:36
  SPEAKER_07: Okay, it says, uh, Walls said the higher cost reflects stronger than expected results.
• 2:37:44
  SPEAKER_07: We know what research shows when they come in and eat a nutritious breakfast, they do better in the classroom.
• 2:37:49
  SPEAKER_07: However, the cost has increased.
• 2:37:52
  SPEAKER_07: And Walls touts this as a positive.
• 2:37:54
  SPEAKER_07: It just means that more kids were hungry.
• 2:37:57
  SPEAKER_07: Or more kids are throwing meals away when they don't actually need them.
• 2:38:02
  SPEAKER_07: He also said he sees it as a sign that the program is helping students.
• 2:38:05
  SPEAKER_07: According to the governor's office, the program was originally projected to cost the state about$400 million in its first two years.
• 2:38:18
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 2:38:19
  SPEAKER_07: $400 million in the first two years.
• 2:38:21
  SPEAKER_07: Uh the program cost in 2024 was$276 million.
• 2:38:27
  SPEAKER_07: In year two of 2025, it was$294 million.
• 2:38:31
  SPEAKER_07: If you want to do the math there, KSTP didn't, I I I didn't.
• 2:38:35
  SPEAKER_07: It's$570 million.
• 2:38:38
  SPEAKER_07: That's a$42.5% uh increase over what the DFL said.
• 2:38:42
  SPEAKER_07: And then when you go$25 to$26 school years, it's at$294 and then$306.
• 2:38:51
  SPEAKER_07: So$600 million, which is a 50% increase.
• 2:38:58
  SPEAKER_07: Just because you're handing out millions of dollars in meals and you are spending 42 to 50% more than what you told everybody was going to be spent on this program, it doesn't mean that it's a good thing.
• 2:39:12
  SPEAKER_07: As a matter of fact, those are all indicators that this is not working the way that it was supposed to.
• 2:39:17
  SPEAKER_07: Why were the projections so low?
• 2:39:19
  SPEAKER_07: And why is the increase as much as it is when we have a decline in enrollment to boot on top of all of this?
• 2:39:26
  SPEAKER_07: Because a lot of these meals are probably being thrown away.
• 2:39:30
  SPEAKER_07: Kids can't get the chocolate milk, as we mentioned, just one example without getting an entree, and they're throwing it away, as the previous comment just said.
• 2:39:38
  SPEAKER_07: You have individuals, the kids don't want the healthy foods.
• 2:39:40
  SPEAKER_07: They're getting the stuff that they want and they're tossing everything else away.
• 2:39:43
  SPEAKER_07: Why wouldn't they?
• 2:39:44
  SPEAKER_07: It's free.
• 2:39:45
  SPEAKER_07: There's no that they've there's no skin in the game for anybody.
• 2:39:49
  SPEAKER_07: It doesn't need to cost this much.
• 2:39:51
  SPEAKER_07: But instead of addressing that, you see, that's what a real leader would do.
• 2:39:54
  SPEAKER_07: Governor Dim Walls isn't a real leader.
• 2:39:57
  SPEAKER_07: Governor Dim Walls is a lame duck governor looking to cement his legacy through lies, manipulation, and propaganda.
• 2:40:05
  SPEAKER_07: The reality of what a real leader would do, they would look at this program and go, okay, you can go ahead and take the take the angle that it's fantastic.
• 2:40:12
  SPEAKER_07: Two things, you can do both things here.
• 2:40:14
  SPEAKER_07: You can save the free meals for students is fantastic and great, but you can also address the fact that it's costing a heck of a lot more and then look at actually saving the taxpayer money.
• 2:40:23
  SPEAKER_07: Let's do a study.
• 2:40:24
  SPEAKER_07: Let's start examining, let's make sure that we have an investigation into these school districts that have seen the largest increases in demand for free lunches and find out whether or not kids are actually eating this food to their benefit or if they're just throwing it away so farmers can come by on the backside, grab all the leftover food, and feed their pigs with it.
• 2:40:44
  SPEAKER_07: That's what a real leader would do.
• 2:40:46
  SPEAKER_07: But there's very few of those here in Minnesota, especially aligned with uh the letters D, F, and uh L.
• 2:41:02
  SPEAKER_41: American people are subject to getting food vouchers.
• 2:41:10
  SPEAKER_13: If you have more than 2.3 kids, that's only with the free free school lunches costing or actually saving families a thousand dollars a year.
• 2:41:22
  SPEAKER_13: Wouldn't the kids that don't need the free lunches, wouldn't their families love to have a thousand dollar reduction on their property taxes because the cost of going to school is less, and families can feed their kids for a lot less than that.
• 2:41:39
  SPEAKER_13: I would, and I don't send a kid to school, and I've never sent a kid to a public school, but I'd love to see my property taxes go down because we don't have to feed people who can afford to feed their own kids.
• 2:41:51
  SPEAKER_07: Hey, speaking of uh investigations, you know we you know what we ought to do, just out of curiosity.
• 2:41:58
  SPEAKER_07: I've gotten wiser about this.
• 2:42:00
  SPEAKER_07: I also had some help via text from my better half.
• 2:42:05
  SPEAKER_07: But we need to start looking more often at the unintended connections to all of this.
• 2:42:13
  SPEAKER_07: I would be curious um how many of our orthodontists and dentists in the state have been in support of the free school meals program?
• 2:42:24
  SPEAKER_07: Is that a curiosity?
• 2:42:26
  SPEAKER_07: How much is is a dentistry in the state of Minnesota benefiting from all of this low quality food that the kids are receiving?
• 2:42:33
  SPEAKER_13: With these free free school lunches costing or actually saving families a thousand dollars a year, wouldn't the kids that don't need the free lunches, wouldn't their families love to have a thousand dollar reduction on their property taxes?
• 2:42:49
  SPEAKER_07: No, I didn't I just have the cost of going to school.
• 2:42:51
  SPEAKER_07: You know what's so nice, I played it twice.
• 2:42:54
  SPEAKER_58: Good morning, John.
• 2:42:55
  SPEAKER_58: I used to work for the federal food program for one of the large skare centers here, and this is back in the Bush administration.
• 2:43:02
  SPEAKER_58: Let me tell you, that program has been a piece of junk for however long, over 20 years at this point.
• 2:43:09
  SPEAKER_58: So I'm not meaning to just pick on Michelle Obama, but I also just wanted to point out that they used to everyone was going about how healthy she was and how fantastic she looked.
• 2:43:19
  SPEAKER_58: Now the woman had to go on authentic.
• 2:43:21
  SPEAKER_58: So it turns out her food program was not helping anybody else.
• 2:43:25
  SPEAKER_58: Have a great day.
• 2:43:26
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you.
• 2:43:26
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you so much for the blast this morning.
• 2:43:33
  SPEAKER_39: John these free lunches in the schools.
• 2:43:36
  SPEAKER_39: It goes back to the feeding our future scandal.
• 2:43:39
  SPEAKER_39: Where are all these starving kids?
• 2:43:41
  SPEAKER_39: They they supposedly fed millions of kids.
• 2:43:43
  SPEAKER_39: We never saw anything.
• 2:43:44
  SPEAKER_39: We never saw any kids.
• 2:43:46
  SPEAKER_07: Let me let me stop this real quick.
• 2:43:48
  SPEAKER_07: I'm gonna play the rest of his comment, but I just want to I just want to jump in here.
• 2:43:51
  SPEAKER_07: I he's absolutely right.
• 2:43:53
  SPEAKER_07: It was one of the it never gets questioned, it never got answered.
• 2:43:57
  SPEAKER_07: Well, when feeding our future first erupted, that was one of the first things that we landed on on the show.
• 2:44:03
  SPEAKER_07: Was wait a second, wait a second.
• 2:44:05
  SPEAKER_07: If there's all where are all the children?
• 2:44:08
  SPEAKER_07: When they stopped the program and started the investigation into Feeding Our Future that was supposed to be feeding these hundreds of thousands of kids across the state, I immediately I was like, where are the interviews with the kids?
• 2:44:21
  SPEAKER_07: Where are the interviews with the kids that are now starving because they're not getting any of these meals?
• 2:44:24
  SPEAKER_07: They didn't exist.
• 2:44:25
  SPEAKER_07: That was the point.
• 2:44:26
  SPEAKER_07: But the media never bothered to go and ask the question.
• 2:44:29
  SPEAKER_07: And the same thing rings true here.
• 2:44:31
  SPEAKER_07: I'm not seeing interviews with the students over this.
• 2:44:33
  SPEAKER_07: I'm not seeing the news outlets going into we'll see if this happens.
• 2:44:38
  SPEAKER_07: So let me just let me let me say that maybe it's only the 8 and 45 on Wednesday.
• 2:44:43
  SPEAKER_07: These stories just dropped this morning.
• 2:44:45
  SPEAKER_07: We're just talking about it on the John Justice show.
• 2:44:48
  SPEAKER_07: So maybe it'll still happen in the wake of the new school year and the headlines on multiple news outlets, care 11, KSDP, about$450 million in free school lunches.
• 2:44:59
  SPEAKER_07: My point is maybe they'll actually head it into uh a cafeteria at a school.
• 2:45:06
  SPEAKER_07: That would be amazing.
• 2:45:08
  SPEAKER_07: I would I show us the meals.
• 2:45:10
  SPEAKER_07: I want to see what the kids are eating.
• 2:45:11
  SPEAKER_07: Show us the trash cans.
• 2:45:12
  SPEAKER_07: I want to see how much food is in the trash can.
• 2:45:14
  SPEAKER_07: There are fantastic stories to be told to provide the public with the worthwhile information so that they can make the best informed decisions when they go and head to the ballot box in November, and they are not getting all of the story because the media is lazy and in the tank for the left.
• 2:45:34
  SPEAKER_07: But this would be this would be bipartisan coverage.
• 2:45:37
  SPEAKER_07: Go into the cafeterias of these schools, find out which schools have the biggest increase in students that are taking advantage of the free school meals program.
• 2:45:47
  SPEAKER_07: Show us the meals, show us lunchtime at these schools.
• 2:45:52
  SPEAKER_07: Show us the trash cans.
• 2:45:54
  SPEAKER_07: Talk to those farmers from the anecdotal stories of those farmers coming in and grabbing the food that gets left over from the students to go and feed their livestock.
• 2:46:06
  SPEAKER_07: I'm handing it to you, media.
• 2:46:07
  SPEAKER_07: Do it.
• 2:46:08
  SPEAKER_07: Get over the fact that you don't want to hurt Democrats and actually go and do your damn job.
• 2:46:18
  SPEAKER_39: Not to mention the school will provide it or one of the other families can provide it.
• 2:46:23
  SPEAKER_39: There's nobody starving.
• 2:46:24
  SPEAKER_39: This is just another scam.
• 2:46:29
  SPEAKER_09: Hi John, just a comment about the um all the meals that we've given away in Minnesota.
• 2:46:35
  SPEAKER_09: Pay attention very closely to the verbiage they use.
• 2:46:38
  SPEAKER_09: They say meals served, not meals eaten.
• 2:46:43
  SPEAKER_09: Those served meals could have been eaten or thrown in the garbage.
• 2:46:48
  SPEAKER_09: Or who knows what.
• 2:46:50
  SPEAKER_09: Not necessarily feeding the children, just serving them food.
• 2:46:54
  SPEAKER_09: It all goes in the trash.
• 2:46:55
  SPEAKER_07: That's a very that's a you're you're right.
• 2:46:58
  SPEAKER_07: That's a great point.
• 2:46:59
  SPEAKER_07: Thank you so much for pointing that out.
• 2:47:01
  SPEAKER_07: You're right.
• 2:47:01
  SPEAKER_07: In the way that they are in the way, in the language that they it's funny how they're careful to use that language, but then we don't get any of the other details.
• 2:47:10
  SPEAKER_40: Hi, just think of all the money they're saving because we no longer have to buy those lunch boxes that kids prized.
• 2:47:21
  SPEAKER_20: Come on, Jim.
• 2:47:23
  SPEAKER_20: So also starving children were in the leering centers.
• 2:47:26
  SPEAKER_20: That's why they didn't see them.
• 2:47:27
  SPEAKER_20: They were in the leering centers leering.
• 2:47:30
  SPEAKER_07: Is that what they were leering at the leer?
• 2:47:33
  SPEAKER_07: How does one leer, by the way?
• 2:47:37
  SPEAKER_07: How have we just now landed on that?
• 2:47:39
  SPEAKER_07: How after all, maybe it's been out there, I haven't seen it, but the whole leering center?
• 2:47:44
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, how does one what what is leering?
• 2:47:46
  SPEAKER_07: How does one how does one leer?
• 2:47:48
  SPEAKER_07: Have I leered uh this morning on the on the show?
• 2:47:53
  SPEAKER_07: Has there been any leering today?
• 2:47:55
  SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
• 2:47:56
  SPEAKER_07: I've been accused of calling other individuals godless heathens this morning, so maybe I have leered and I was completely unaware of it.
• 2:48:02
  SPEAKER_48: Well, that certainly is a new low.
• 2:48:05
  SPEAKER_48: How how could you be smirch fine and proud people like the dentists and the orthodontists?
• 2:48:11
  SPEAKER_48: That's a very anti-dentite of you.
• 2:48:13
  SPEAKER_48: Have a great day.
• 2:48:14
  SPEAKER_48: I know.
• 2:48:15
  SPEAKER_07: I am not an anti-dentite.
• 2:48:19
  SPEAKER_07: And if those dentists are not in support of the free school school meals program, I'm not talking about them.
• 2:48:26
  SPEAKER_07: You see how that you see how that works?
• 2:48:28
  SPEAKER_51: So what you're telling me is we need a ninth grade Nick Shirley to actually document this utter nonsense.
• 2:48:40
  SPEAKER_07: Everybody's all the all the all the jokey jokes came out in the final 10 minutes of the show show this morning.
• 2:48:47
  SPEAKER_07: I feel like I've touched uh touched a nerve.
• 2:48:51
  SPEAKER_07: Uh let's go here.
• 2:48:52
  SPEAKER_07: They won't interview the kids because kids are honest and they will say the food sucks.
• 2:49:00
  SPEAKER_07: That's a that's a really good point.
• 2:49:03
  SPEAKER_07: All right.
• 2:49:04
  SPEAKER_07: I had a let's see what we have here.
• 2:49:06
  SPEAKER_07: I haven't had a chance to preview this, but let's just go ahead and read it.
• 2:49:09
  SPEAKER_07: I have a text that rolled in.
• 2:49:10
  SPEAKER_07: It's rather long.
• 2:49:11
  SPEAKER_07: I found out yesterday, my 11-year-old, uh from my 11-year-old teacher, uh, that his 11-year-old teacher told him that he doesn't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance if he doesn't want to, due to his freedom of speech.
• 2:49:22
  SPEAKER_07: I asked my son if the teacher also explained why we say the pledge and why it's important and what it stands for and uh and why it's said.
• 2:49:31
  SPEAKER_07: He said the teacher did not explain anything about the pledge and only said he doesn't have to say it if he doesn't want to.
• 2:49:36
  SPEAKER_07: I explained to my kid that the teacher explained to both why, that had the teacher explain both why we say it and why we don't have to uh be okay with it.
• 2:49:46
  SPEAKER_07: Uh it's the whole burning the flag issue.
• 2:49:49
  SPEAKER_07: While I don't support or agree with it, it's a big part of being an American and having the freedom to burn the flag if we choose to without fear of our government or retaliating against your actions.
• 2:49:58
  SPEAKER_07: It's no different than the pledge.
• 2:50:00
  SPEAKER_07: If you uh if you don't want to say it, you don't have to.
• 2:50:02
  SPEAKER_07: It doesn't mean that you have to agree with it or not.
• 2:50:05
  SPEAKER_07: Had his teacher explained it like that, I wouldn't have had a problem.
• 2:50:09
  SPEAKER_07: But the fact that he chose not to tells me everything I need to know about the teacher's thought process and where he stands, both politically and his worldview in America.
• 2:50:17
  SPEAKER_07: It's not just the cities anymore.
• 2:50:19
  SPEAKER_07: This is currently happening in Elk River.
• 2:50:22
  SPEAKER_07: Make sure parents talk to your kids.
• 2:50:23
  SPEAKER_07: No, you're absolutely right.
• 2:50:24
  SPEAKER_07: And listen, this this uh that dovetails nicely into what I was referring to over the lack of curiosity coming from the media on these stories.
• 2:50:34
  SPEAKER_07: They'll just run with the number when it comes to 450 meals served, costs are rising.
• 2:50:41
  SPEAKER_07: At least they went and covered that, but they still didn't get into how it's rising, why it's rising.
• 2:50:49
  SPEAKER_07: It's just taken at face value that it's the demand that's out there, and it's a good thing.
• 2:50:53
  SPEAKER_07: That's what Wall said when talking about the 42% increase the first two years and the 50% increase the second two years.
• 2:50:59
  SPEAKER_07: He says, My guess is early on we saw the cost was more than projected.
• 2:51:04
  SPEAKER_07: I saw some people complaining about that, and I thought it was a wonderful problem to have because it showed how important the program was and we knew it was an investment.
• 2:51:14
  SPEAKER_07: No, Walls, it's not a good thing.
• 2:51:17
  SPEAKER_07: Without having the relevant data, without having the relevant information about why there was such a dramatic increase, it's not a good thing.
• 2:51:25
  SPEAKER_07: There's nothing positive about this.
• 2:51:26
  SPEAKER_07: If you can provide the information and the evidence and the proof that kids are actually eating the meals, that the 42% multi-million dollar increase, the for the 50% multi-million dollar increase is worth it.
• 2:51:43
  SPEAKER_07: Even if you want to just take it face value that you approve of the free school meals program.
• 2:51:47
  SPEAKER_07: Let's just take that.
• 2:51:48
  SPEAKER_07: Let's just say for the sake of argument.
• 2:51:50
  SPEAKER_07: Like I said, you can't just go and say, well, it just proves that it's working.
• 2:51:54
  SPEAKER_07: It's just a great problem to have.
• 2:51:56
  SPEAKER_07: So you admit it's a problem, but you're not looking at any of the reasons why it's potentially a problem.
• 2:52:04
  SPEAKER_07: And the lack of curiosity coming from the mainstream media is exactly what I'm talking about.
• 2:52:12
  SPEAKER_42: Ugh.
• 2:52:14
  SPEAKER_42: Yeah, it just keeps sounding like a parody of a few good men.
• 2:52:18
  SPEAKER_41: Show us the meals! You can't handle the meals.
• 2:52:22
  SPEAKER_05: I'm telling you what, everybody's just awake now?
• 2:52:24
  SPEAKER_05: I guess everybody's had their coffee this morning, right?
• 2:52:27
  SPEAKER_07: Channel 5 Eyewitness News, they said they're working to get an answer on where the extra taxpayer money is being pulled from to cover the overrun.
• 2:52:34
  SPEAKER_07: Like I said, giving credit where credit's due.
• 2:52:37
  SPEAKER_07: If Channel 5 Eyewitness News goes and does their due diligence, I'll take back all the negativity that I said.
• 2:52:42
  SPEAKER_07: Actually, I don't have to.
• 2:52:43
  SPEAKER_07: I already couched this appropriately.
• 2:52:44
  SPEAKER_07: I already said maybe they'll go and do this.
• 2:52:47
  SPEAKER_07: Parents like Bailey Jordan said the program also brings relief at home.
• 2:52:51
  SPEAKER_07: The program saves families about$1,000 per student.
• 2:52:55
  SPEAKER_07: It's one less thing I have to worry about.
• 2:52:58
  SPEAKER_07: No.
• 2:53:00
  SPEAKER_07: So hard being a parent.
• 2:53:01
  SPEAKER_07: It's so hard being a parent these days that some parents just have to kill their children.
• 2:53:07
  SPEAKER_07: That's how difficult it is to be a parent these days.
• 2:53:10
  SPEAKER_07: You know, it's just, it's just, you know, we thought it was a great idea.
• 2:53:14
  SPEAKER_07: We had the first kid, it went okay.
• 2:53:16
  SPEAKER_07: You know, I had my second kid, it was a little bit rougher.
• 2:53:19
  SPEAKER_07: So we decided to have a third.
• 2:53:22
  SPEAKER_07: Then, gosh darn it, it became so difficult.
• 2:53:24
  SPEAKER_07: I just couldn't handle it anymore.
• 2:53:25
  SPEAKER_07: So I just aborted all three of them.
• 2:53:28
  SPEAKER_07: That's how difficult it is for parents these days.
• 2:53:31
  SPEAKER_07: If only Lindsay Clancy and her kids were getting free school meals.
• 2:53:36
  SPEAKER_07: Maybe they were and it wasn't enough.
• 2:53:39
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, they went on to say uh to have to not make breakfast or lunch, that saves her time to get more rest and takes away that piece of scrambling in the morning in the morning.
• 2:53:50
  SPEAKER_07: Well, you know what?
• 2:53:51
  SPEAKER_07: It's a darn good thing.
• 2:53:52
  SPEAKER_07: If not, I think a lot more parents will be killing their children.
• 2:53:56
  SPEAKER_07: How long until Governor uh Dim Walls ends up making that argument, by the way?
• 2:53:59
  SPEAKER_07: If it weren't for this free school meals program, who knows how many children would be murdered by their parents?
• 2:54:06
  SPEAKER_07: My gosh, we're saving lives with free school meals, people.
• 2:54:10
  SPEAKER_37: Hi, John.
• 2:54:10
  SPEAKER_37: You won't have any farmer calling in because they outlawed that process of the farmers being able to use the food that was being thrown away several years ago.
• 2:54:18
  SPEAKER_37: So that won't occur from farmers and farmers getting that food.
• 2:54:21
  SPEAKER_37: Uh no.
• 2:54:22
  SPEAKER_37: They won't emit food because that would be illegal.
• 2:54:25
  SPEAKER_37: Wonderful world we live in.
• 2:54:27
  SPEAKER_07: Interesting.
• 2:54:27
  SPEAKER_07: I wonder if they're going and grabbing that food and they are uh not telling anybody.
• 2:54:32
  SPEAKER_07: Uh let's see.
• 2:54:33
  SPEAKER_07: The prog the program, uh, according to a friend of the show, the program hasn't been audited by the OLA yet either.
• 2:54:41
  SPEAKER_07: It will be interesting to see that more proof that our reactive systems are not uh working.
• 2:54:48
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, just Google, got another text that came in, just Google free food or meals near me for nonprofits that give out food.
• 2:54:56
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, you're yeah, no, you're you're absolutely you're absolutely right with that.
• 2:55:00
  SPEAKER_07: All right, let's wrap up on this.
• 2:55:03
  SPEAKER_07: I would encourage you to head on over to americanexperiment.org and check out this story for your uh for yourself.
• 2:55:10
  SPEAKER_07: The controversy around the generation hope congressional earmark deserves more attention.
• 2:55:17
  SPEAKER_07: So it's written by Bill Glaun, Center of the American Experiment, AmericanExperiment.org today.
• 2:55:23
  SPEAKER_07: Klobuchar's fraud connection, one million to suspicious Somali nonprofit.
• 2:55:30
  SPEAKER_07: So you go to uh WCCO Esme Murphy last week, where it was written Amy Klobichar pushes back on GOP fraud attack as Minnesota's governor's race heats up.
• 2:55:43
  SPEAKER_07: Some polling um this morning, by the way, showing that uh um Michelle Tefoya, according to the polling, uh, is within like a point.
• 2:55:53
  SPEAKER_07: It's like almost tied at the moment.
• 2:55:54
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, we're talking about the gubernatorial race here.
• 2:55:57
  SPEAKER_07: The fraud attack in this instance, writes Bill Glaum.
• 2:56:00
  SPEAKER_07: Consists of an ad being run in the race for Minnesota's governor by Klobuchar's Republican opponent, the Speaker of the House, Lisa Damath.
• 2:56:08
  SPEAKER_07: Murphy reported one major strategy of the Damath campaign is to link Klobuchar to an estimated$9 billion in fraud schemes that have occurred during the Wall's administration.
• 2:56:18
  SPEAKER_07: Damath's first campaign ad says Klobuchar supported a$1 million earmark for Somali charity.
• 2:56:26
  SPEAKER_07: That is true, but there have been no findings of fraud or charges connected to the group, which never received federal funding.
• 2:56:33
  SPEAKER_07: I was the one who made the calls to say that we shouldn't put in funding requests.
• 2:56:38
  SPEAKER_07: And guess what?
• 2:56:39
  SPEAKER_07: It was never funded.
• 2:56:40
  SPEAKER_07: That's according to Amy Klobuchar.
• 2:56:43
  SPEAKER_07: Now, Bill Glaun goes on to say in uh I'll return to the Klobishar pushback momentarily, but the entire episode shows a staggering lack of judgment on her part.
• 2:56:52
  SPEAKER_07: So as Glon first wrote on this exact topic back in January when it was still a live issue, he mentioned at the time that Klobuchar at the time, because the Hill newspaper had already written on this begotten earmark, mentioning Klobishar by name.
• 2:57:10
  SPEAKER_07: The Hill's headline was GOP backlash to Omar earmark slows government funding bill.
• 2:57:16
  SPEAKER_07: Klobishar didn't make calls to pull the earmark.
• 2:57:19
  SPEAKER_07: It got yanked because the bill wasn't going to pass with that specific item included.
• 2:57:25
  SPEAKER_07: The controversy involved a 1,000 uh uh excuse me, a 1,031,000 earmark.
• 2:57:31
  SPEAKER_07: I had a uh finance commissioner moment here just now when I read the number wrong.
• 2:57:36
  SPEAKER_07: My apologies.
• 2:57:37
  SPEAKER_07: A$1,031,000 earmark, congressionally directed spending request for a Minneapolis-based nonprofit Generation Hope, the Hill reported back in January.
• 2:57:49
  SPEAKER_07: The initiative provides those in East African community of Minneapolis with substance abuse recovery and mental health support, as well as job training according to the organization's website.
• 2:58:02
  SPEAKER_07: But the funding requests come amid the GOP uproar over alleged sprawling fraud in Minnesota, in which many people charged were of Somali descent.
• 2:58:13
  SPEAKER_07: Some 90% of those individuals were of Somali uh descent.
• 2:58:19
  SPEAKER_07: So Klobuchar wants credit for not moving forward with a thing that would not have ever moved forward and was at every stage of the process just a terrible idea.
• 2:58:30
  SPEAKER_07: That is very, very Klobuchar-esque.
• 2:58:32
  SPEAKER_07: According to records on file with the Minnesota Secretary of State's office, Generation Hope was first incorporated back in April of 2021.
• 2:58:39
  SPEAKER_07: And according to IRS records, the nonprofit has only ever filed a single tax return for uh, and that for 2023.
• 2:58:48
  SPEAKER_07: That year, the nonprofit filed the 990 Easy form, showing a total revenue of$167,000 and a modest loss of four grand.
• 2:58:56
  SPEAKER_07: The state's attorney general's office regulates nonprofits, and their database shows Generation Hope financials for 2024.
• 2:59:05
  SPEAKER_07: That year, the nonprofit took in over$400,000.
• 2:59:11
  SPEAKER_07: Remember, the year before it was$167,000.
• 2:59:14
  SPEAKER_07: More than$100,000 in government grants, yet, somehow, the nonprofit's net worth plunged to a negative$35,000.
• 2:59:23
  SPEAKER_07: In other words, there was nothing in the public record available in January of 26th to suggest that this nonprofit was a viable candidate to handle a million-dollar federal grant.
• 2:59:35
  SPEAKER_07: That's not all, though.
• 2:59:36
  SPEAKER_07: The Washington Times reported in January that senators request fraud probe of Minneapolis charity favored by Ilhan Omar.
• 2:59:46
  SPEAKER_07: So the senator said the brother of one of the Generation Hope founders.
• 2:59:50
  SPEAKER_07: What's it with Ilhan Omar and brothers for crying out loud?
• 2:59:54
  SPEAKER_07: Bad mix.
• 2:59:55
  SPEAKER_07: One of the brothers of a Generation Hope founders was arrested in 2015 on charges of plotting to join an Islamic State group.
• 3:00:04
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, that would be ISIS.
• 3:00:06
  SPEAKER_07: Quoting Iowa U.S.
• 3:00:08
  SPEAKER_07: Senator Joni Ernst, it's almost too insane to believe Congress trying to send one million dollars to an East African addiction center operated above a Somali restaurant and run by three people who live in the same house with a relative who tried to join ISIS.
• 3:00:29
  SPEAKER_07: Only in Minnesota.
• 3:00:34
  SPEAKER_07: The Times reminds its readers that the initial ask for the earmark was$1.5 million, they report.
• 3:00:41
  SPEAKER_07: The spending committees had designated$1,031,000 in taxpayer money from the Justice Department's burn grant program for the project.
• 3:00:49
  SPEAKER_07: That money was stripped after Republicans raised their concerns.
• 3:00:52
  SPEAKER_07: Klobuchar got involved only when the earmark was already non-viable.
• 3:00:57
  SPEAKER_07: Now you have to wonder why she said yes in the first place.
• 3:01:01
  SPEAKER_07: Was it in favor of Representative Omar?
• 3:01:03
  SPEAKER_07: Why didn't Klobuchar's office do any independent vetting?
• 3:01:06
  SPEAKER_07: Whoever is elected governor this year, Bill Glon writes, will have the first task in January of 27 putting together a$70 billion two-year budget for the state government.
• 3:01:18
  SPEAKER_07: If this is Klobuchar's idea of how to vet spending proposals, the state will be bankrupt by 2028.
• 3:01:26
  SPEAKER_07: But hey, everybody, uh don't worry because uh millions upon millions of children are getting free meals courtesy of the state.
• 3:01:34
  SPEAKER_07: And because of that, parents are less likely to go and murder their children.
• 3:01:42

  SPEAKER_07: Paul's homeless encampment closures may be on pause indefinitely.
• 3:02:15
  SPEAKER_07: St.
• 3:02:15
  SPEAKER_07: Paul has basically just given up on dealing with these encampments.
• 3:02:20
  SPEAKER_07: It's really stunning when you when you see the fact that they're basically just throwing their hands up saying there's nothing they can do when they could go and shut all of them down uh today.
